BAT-TASTIC
High school has until Nov. 25 to take or leave parking lot deal By BOB UPHUES Editor
Brookfield’s village board voted Oct. 10 to have its attorney convey what is essentially a take-it-or-leave-it offer to settle the lawsuit Riverside-Brookfield High School District 208 filed against the village last year over the village’s denial of a parking lot to be built on school-owned land north of Hollywood School. At Monday night’s village board meeting Brookfield President Kit Ketchmark publicly outlined the terms of the village’s offer and put an expiration date of Nov. 25 at 5 p.m. on it. After that date, said Ketchmark, the “legal process, started by the high school, will play itself out.” The village is offering to allow the school to build a 45-space parking lot and enter into a long-term lease on the 108-space Rockefeller Avenue parking lot. In addition, the village would expedite the planning and zoning process needed to approve a zoning variance and a special use permit. In a phone interview Tuesday morning, Ketchmark said the offer is timed to avoid what will start to be very costly litigation once the formal discovery process begins. “The reason is simple,” said Ketchmark. “Costs are really going to start going up for everybody. The idea is to come to the agreement before the costs start going up.” See LAWSUIT on page 9

D96 zeros in on facilities master plan
School board aims to choose architectural firm later this month By TOM VOGEL Contributing Reporter
School board officials remained split last week over a choice between two architecture firms vying to devel-
op a Master Facilities Plan for Riverside Elementary School District 96. The school board faces a host of lifesafety and ADA accessibility issues at its five schools. In addition, with enrollment continuing to crowd class-
rooms, the school board is also pondering ways to accommodate students. The discussion comes two weeks before a formal vote, which is expected See D96 on page 9

IN THE WORKS: The north wing of S.E. Gross Middle School would undergo extensive renovation as part of District 95’s referendumfunded plan. The first floor would be turned into a cafeteria/auditorium combo. The space above, which now houses the auditorium, would be divided into a second-floor band room with a two-story ceiling and four large classrooms on the second and third floors.
S.E. Gross renovation estimate comes in around $5 million
More detailed plan for Brookfield school still in line with initial estimates By BOB UPHUES Editor
Brookfield-LaGrange Park District 95 officials have released more detailed plans and cost estimates for the S.E. Gross Middle School portion of a proposed major renovation project that would add classrooms and gymnasiums to address spiking enrollment at both schools in the district. According to figures submitted by the school district’s construction management firm, Executive Construction Inc., the renovations at S.E. Gross Middle School will cost roughly $5 million, which would keep the entire project cost in line with original estimates, at $35 million. The more detailed plans for the renovation of S.E. Gross Middle School’s triangular north wing were unveiled for the public at a community forum held Oct. 4 at Brook Park School in LaGrange Park. However, those plans weren’t seen by many members of the community. Between 30 and 40 people attended the forum, according to Superintendent Mark Kuzniewski. Kuzniewski met last week with two members of the Brook Park Council, that school’s parent-teacher group, about forming a referendum committee to advocate for public
funding of the planned renovations, which includes a 44,135-square-foot expansion of Brook Park. While the district may hold at least one more community forum prior to a referendum vote planned in spring 2017, Kuzniewski said the referendum committee likely would focus on other avenues to get information to the public. “We’re going to explore a different type of communications approach,’ Kuzniewski said. The district is planning on asking voters to approve a $20 million bond issue. The impact of a successful referendum on the owner of a home valued at $300,000 would be about $500 in additional property taxes per year, according to information provided by the school district. The remaining $15 million would be paid by the district issuing alternate revenue bonds, which would not have a direct impact on homeowners’ tax bills. That debt would be paid using general operating funds. Plans for the north wing of S.E. Gross Middle School indicate that workers will dig down about 30 inches from the present firstfloor level in order to create the headroom needed to house a “cafetorium” – a combination cafeteria and auditorium – on the first floor.
Initially, district officials had hoped for a two-story cafetorium space, but the existing concrete floor of the second-floor auditorium made that level of renovation costprohibitive. The cafetorium is now envisioned as a one-story space. That will allow for the construction of a new two-story band room above the cafetorium, along with a total of four large classrooms on the second and third floors. Programming for the classroom spaces has not been finalized, though the size indicates that they would be used for elective programming, such as STEM classes, Kuzniewski said. Alternately, the classrooms would be large enough to subdivide into more classroom space, if needed. The second-floor gymnasium at S.E. Gross School will remain intact, according to the plans. It could be repurposed for classrooms in the future, if enrollment increases further. A new 15,109-square-foot gymnasium addition, including locker rooms, is planned to be built immediately west of the existing school on what is an asphalt playground/running track area. The gymnasium would have its own entrance and would be able to be closed off to the rest of the school, so it can be used by the community after school hours.

Aims to make it easier to run for school boards, library district boards “Someone oughta do something about this town!” You’ve seen the Facebook postings, heard it wherever people in town congregate. Maybe you’ve said it yourself. Things ought to be different. Different people need to be in charge of local government. But who wants the job? It’s such a pain in the neck even to run for office, because you have to fill out so many forms and jump through so many hoops. If only the process were easier to navigate. Cook County Clerk David Orr has heard your pleas and on Oct. 6 launched an online application process to make it simpler for people to run for suburban library districts, park districts and school boards. The Running for Office Starter Kit allows anyone in suburban Cook County to see what offices are up for election – in this case for the April 4, 2017 Consolidated Election – and get the information and documentation they need to complete in order to throw their hat into the ring. “Running for office should be easy,” said Cook County Clerk David Orr in a press release. “Unfortunately, it’s more daunting than it should be. Now, with our new Running for Office Starter Kit – the first of its kind in Illinois – so much of the information you need is at your fingertips.” In rolling out the online application process, Orr noted that during the 2015 Consolidated Election more than 60 percent of the 699 total contests went uncontested. “One of the many issues that accompany these uncompetitive elections is low voter turnout,” Orr stated. “Contested elections not only force public officials to work for their constituents’ votes by bringing different points of view into our democracy, but they also attract voters to the polls – expand-
ing the political process on both sides of the ballot box.” The Running for Office Starter Kit can be found on the Cook County Clerk’s website (www.cookcountyclerk.com), by selecting “Running for Office” from the drop-down menu under the “Elections – Suburban Cook County” tab on the home page. A 3-minute video will take you through the basics of the application process and how to generate a candidate packet, which includes nominating petition forms and other documentation required to run for office. Nomination forms come pre-populated with candidate information to help prevent the kinds of ticky-tack mistakes that often result in a candidate’s petitions being challenged and the candidate being removed from the ballot. For now, however, candidate packets can be generated only for offices where nominating petitions can be filed directly with the Cook County Clerk’s Office. That means if you want to run for village president or trustee, township office or for library boards in Riverside or Brookfield, you’ll have to do it the hard way. “The requirements for [school boards, park district boards and library district boards] aren’t subject to changes and differences like the offices where each municipality would set the requirements and the requirements could be different from town to town,” said James Scalzitti, deputy communications director for the Cook County Clerk. “But this is a start. Perhaps in the future municipal and township offices could be part of it, as well.” Anyone interested in running for office next April needs to start thinking about it now, however. The period for collecting signatures for nominating petitions has already started, and the period for filing those petitions is Dec. 12-19.

Metra tweaks BNSF timetable to reflect actual conditions If you take the Metra to and from downtown Chicago from stations in Riverside and Brookfield every day, you just got a couple extra minutes – officially -- to get to the platform on your way in to work. On Friday, Metra announced a new schedule for its trains along the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad line “to better reflect actual operating conditions and minimize customer wait times,” according to a press release issued by the commuter rail agency. The schedule was developed using “months of GPS and signal data to determine the most realistic, typical schedule” although unpredictable factors could result in future delays. The new schedule (which can be viewed online at www.metrarail.com) went into effect on Sunday, Oct. 9. According to Metra’s press release, the
BNSF routes have been adjusted by adding one or two minutes per stop to existing departure times. In some cases, four to seven minutes have been added to departure times from inbound platforms all along the line. But that shouldn’t affect the time you’ll arrive at or leave from at Union Station in the future, Metra says. “The new schedule does not change the arrival and departure times of trains at Union Station,” the press release states. “They will continue to arrive and depart there at the same times as the current schedule.” No stops have been eliminated on any of the routes at the local stations, and the four express train routes to Union Station from the Congress Park platform in Brookfield on weekday mornings remain the same, though their departure times are slightly later.

Harvesting crops and learning life lessons LTHS transition students grow fall crops for local sale By JACKIE GLOSNIAK Contributing Reporter
While visiting farmers markets is a favorite seasonal pastime, one area high school is making the experience extra special for local patrons and young adults alike. As a part of Lyons Township High School’s Transition House — a district facility and program for individuals ages 18-22 with special needs — students are learning valuable life skills all while growing and harvesting an array of fruits and vegetables. From originally planting just tomatoes in two small beds when it started in the spring of 2011, the Transition House, located at 1205 W. Cossitt Ave. in LaGrange, now features six raised vegetable beds where all summer and fall, students have grown and harvested crops including Tuscan kale, corn, pumpkins, spaghetti squash, tomatoes, herbs and wildflowers. Crops are sold every Thursday at the LaGrange Farmers Market. Joseph Duffy, a transition special education teacher at LTHS for the past eight years, started the garden with the goal of allowing the young adults to make local connections and get them familiar with local job opportunities. “Our main objective is to expose them to social opportunities, vocational opportunities, independent living [and] give them the skills they’ll need as young adults,” he said. “The idea is that when they leave
here, they have life skills, work skills and practical things they might need.” In addition to selling their goods to the public, the gardeners have also partnered with many area restaurants and stores including The Fruit Store, Nickson’s Eatery, Palmer Place and Francesca’s in LaGrange in selling more than $2,000 in heirloom tomatoes to use in their kitchens. “A lot of places pride themselves on locally grown foods, but locally grown might be from Michigan or two hours away from Illinois,” Duffy said. “So, we really like to say we’re more neighborhood grown. It’s truly a local collaboration.” In the five years the garden has been around, Duffy says the students have really gotten a good amount of work experience in ways they hadn’t before. “The garden really helps us meet a lot of the students’ goals,” Duffy said. “It helps the students learn about the production side of things, learn about working in sales at the farmers market [and] it helps them with communications and gives them job experience.” Duffy said six students from Brookfield are involved in the transition program, including Donavyn Coronado, who is participating in the garden for the first time. Coronado says that during the last few months of work, his favorite thing has been being introduced to so many new ideas. “I feel like I’ve learned a lot,” he said. “There’s a lot of things when working at the garden I learned about, like planting fruits [and] vegetables, how to maintain them, how to maintain the soil, how to tell if they’re ripe [and] how to tell if they’re rotten.”
PROVIDED
HARVEST TIME: A student at the LTHS Transition House pulls corn stalks from the program’s garden, which grows produce for local restaurants and is sold at the LaGrange Farmers Market. All in all, Duffy says the garden has been an important part of the transition program because it gives the students a sense of confidence and pride. “I think this is a population of people who are undervalued in the workforce and
by society in general, so we kind of help expose their assets and show them they are a valuable commodity and workforce by interacting with local businesses and leaders in the community,” Duffy said. “The garden can be a lucrative endeavor.”
Brookfield poised to claim title to bowling alley parking lot The village of Brookfield is on the verge of acquiring two parcels of land that formerly served as the parking lot for the longshuttered Brookfield Bowl, 3415 Maple Ave. During a Sept. 26 court hearing, a Cook County Circuit Court judge indicated that the village ought to be able to obtain title to the 6,250-square-foot parking lot through the county’s No-Cash Bid Program. Brookfield’s village board gave the green light to acquire the property through the county program in September 2015. The same process was used when the village acquired the bowling alley building in 2014. The parcels comprise an important redevelopment location in the Eight Corners
business district. Also in November, the Brookfield Village Board is expected to vote to create the Eight Corners Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District to both encourage new development within the TIF boundaries, which include the commercial properties at and near the Memorial Circle where Broadway Avenue, Maple Avenue, Washington Avenue and Grand Boulevard all converge. Brookfield officials have been working through the TIF creation process for more than a year. Last month, the village held a required public hearing and convened a joint review board featuring representatives from all taxing districts that are part
of the TIF district. The joint review board gave the TIF a thumbs up. The village board will discuss the formation of the Eight Corners TIF again at their Oct. 24 committee of the whole meeting, and are slated to vote to create the TIF district at their Nov. 14 meeting. “The timing is pretty good so the TIF will go live if the board supports it at the same time the status of the two parking lot [parcels] is decided,” said Nick Greifer, the village community and economic development director. “A key part of the TIF is the bowling alley.”

KOSEY CORNER
Riverside vet feted on Honor Flight
October 12-19
L
ongtime Riverside resident Lew Heine described Oct. 5 as “one of the favorite days of my life.” It was the day the 86-year-old Heine and approximately 107 men and two women, all veterans, took off from Midway Airport bound for Washington, D.C., as part of Honor Flight Chicago. Honor Flight, a volunteer program, raises money so they can fly the veterans to visit war memorials in Washington. The veterans are the stars of the flights, and the volunteers do their best to pay tribute to the vets and honor them for serving. Heine’s like the rest of the veterans was assigned an escort who would be with him for the day. They enjoyed coffee and doughnuts as they traveled to visit memorials in our nation’s capital honoring the military. Their tour included the following memorials: the Air Force, Korean War, Vietnam War and the World War II memorial, which is the most recently completed of the group. A stop at the Lincoln Memorial also was included. They also visited a large building resembling an airplane hangar that housed historical planes, including the famed Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945. The whirlwind day was not without other highlights. Three quarters of the way into the return trip, it was time for “mail call’ in which each vet received mail that had been sent prior to the trip by friends and relatives. Heine received 45 pieces of mail. He also talked about how they were entertained by a vocal trio resembling the Andrews Sisters, who sang songs of the war time era. Arriving back at Midway Airport that night, the vets were greeted by a crowd of people, including Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner. Heine’s was the 75th Honor Flight, the first taking place in 2008. Heine, who served in the Navy Reserves until being called to be a combat corpsman in the Marines from 1950-52 in Korea. Heine was wounded in battle and received a Purple Heart. He was honored this year at the Riverside Memorial Day ceremony. According to his son, Mike, of Riverside, the family did not even know about his dad’s wartime experiences. Honoring our veterans, particularly people like Lou Heine has been a long time coming and well deserved. To Lew Heine, we salute you and thank you for your service and all you have done for us and our country.

In early August, the Riverside Elementary School District 96 Board of Education voted to sign a contract to buy the home at 92 Repton Road in Riverside, which stands immediately east of Ames School. But the $343,822 offer, which was accepted by the owner, is now up in the air, because just a couple of weeks after the contract was signed, a Cook County Circuit Court judge entered a judgment of foreclosure and default order on the property and put it up for auction. “When we went to schedule the closing, the seller was uncommunicative,” said District 96 Superintendent Martha Ryan-Toye. “Then we learned we had an issue.” Foreclosure proceedings against the residential property began in May 2015, but when the school district offered a price that would cover what remained on the mortgage, school officials believed they had a solid deal in place. Now the school district will have to bid on the property at an auction scheduled for Nov. 22. The school district’s attorney will be representing District 96 at the auction, and officials are crossing their fingers that they’ll still be able to acquire the 17,000-square-foot parcel. “We’ll follow the foreclosure process,” Ryan-Toye said. “We’re still reasonably hopeful.” Another party could swoop in and outbid the school district at the auction, but since the district’s proposed purchase price would pay for what remains on the mortgage, it seems unlikely the property would appeal to a bargain hunter. District 96 would like to acquire the property, because it would provide flexibility and an avenue for expanding Ames School, which has struggled to accommodate increasing enrollment. Ryan-Toye said the property could be used to put an addition onto Ames School to increase classroom space or be used for outdoor learning or playground space. But just having the property will allow the district options for easing crowding felt all over the district. “There’s a domino effect to being able to expand [at Ames],” Ryan-Toye said. — Bob Uphues

Long-term planning important from page 1 to take place at the board’s Oct. 19 meeting. Just prior to their deliberation at a committee of the whole meeting on Oct. 5, the board received a report by David Sellers, interim director of finance and operations, detailing a district-wide list of possible renovation projects, including high-priority items like replacing old sections of roofing at Blythe Park Elementary School. The roof project at Blythe Park, at an estimated cost of $450,000, is the most expensive single project on the list, which ranks projects from high priority to low priority, spanning a three-year period. With several of the district’s buildings more than eight decades old and one dating to the 19th century, the project tracking list Sellers provided to the school board last week includes more than two dozen items related to ADA-accessibility. Because summer breaks provide the most convenient construction opportunities, Sellers stressed the board should settle on a firm to conduct a Master Facilities Plan as soon as possible, to avoid missing an opportunity for getting work donw during the summer of 2017. “No matter who we choose here,” board member Rich Regan said. “If we don’t give them a clear direction, we’re spinning our wheels.” Randy Brockway, another board member, asked other board members to define the master plan’s purpose and mentioned the possibility that the school board elections next spring could upset any long-term plan-

RBHS to weigh options from page 1 RBHS Superintendent Kevin Skinkis said in a phone interview that the high school has not yet seen a formal offer, and that officials first heard of the village’s action when a reporter contacted him and board President Mike Welch on Tuesday. “As soon as we get a formal document, we will meet with our attorney and the school board will discuss our options,” Skinkis said. The two sides have been unsuccessful in settling a lawsuit filed by the high school in 2015, shortly after the village board denied an application for zoning variances and a special use permit for the high school to build a 91-space parking lot on land north of Hollywood School. The village board’s vote overrode a recommendation by the Brookfield Planning and Zoning Commission to approve the requests, and high school officials argued that the village board’s decision was capricious

Send in the clowns? Don’t bother, they’re here The Great Clown Fright of 2016, which started in August with a report of suspicious clowns trying to lure children into some South Carolina woods has spread north and arrived in the Chicago area last week. School districts in Oak Park and River Forest both sent out messages to parents about the phenomenon — River Forest School District 90 announced last week that social workers and counselors would be on hand to talk to children experiencing clown fears. And closer to home, police in Riverside and North Riverside received clown-related calls, though responding officers reported being unable to locate any such subjects. On Oct. 6 about 8:35 p.m., a Riverside man called police after his daughter told him that, as she was walking home, she turned off First Avenue and onto Forest Avenue. The girl told her dad she saw a clown in the wooded area, waving at her. An officer checked the area but was unable to locate anyone. North Riverside police on Oct. 7 at 2:05 a.m. were dispatched to the 200 block of 7th Avenue after a 37-year-old resident reported he saw two males wearing colorful clown masks and checking car door handles walking northbound on 7th Avenue. One of the subjects was wearing rollerblades. Police checked the area without finding anyone matching that description. All of the vehicles in the area appeared to be undisturbed.
Burglary suspect charged Brookfield resident John D. Kimbrough, 40, faces one charge of burglary and could face more after police in Riverside and other suburbs finish investigating his possible role in a rash of vehicle break-ins recently. Riverside and Berwyn police took Kimbrough into custody on Oct. 7 just after 9:30 p.m. A Riverside resident called 911 to report seeing a subject breaking into a car in the 300 block of Shenstone Road. The subject fled in a gold vehicle, but the witness followed, helping lead police to stop Kimbrough near the intersection of Stanley and Clarence avenues in Berwyn. According to police, Kimbrough had been going street to street in Riverside attempting to break into cars parked on or near the street. Riverside police say they have tied Kimbrough to four attempted burglaries and one burglary in that village. He reportedly is a suspect in several other vehicle break-ins in the western suburbs. When he was apprehended, Kimbrough was on electronic monitoring related to several theft cases and has an extensive criminal history that incudes arrests for burglary, robbery, fraud and invasion of privacy, among others.
In March, Brookfield police arrested Kimbrough after someone called police to report a subject entering unlocked vehicles in the Hollywood section of the village. He was charged with burglary in that case.
Burglary ■ Riverside
police continue to investigate what appears to have been a burglary to a garage in the 200 block of Olmsted Road on Oct. 9. Police were dispatched to the block about 10:50 p.m. after an Uber driver reportedly found a large gas-powered Honda generator lying in the middle of the roadway. Police traced tire tracks through the grass leading to a residential garage whose side service door was open. Police also reported a second set of tire tracks leading to the street. ■ A resident of the 200 block of Waubansee Road, Riverside, reported that her home had been burglarized, most likely around 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 8 while she was talking to someone claiming to be installing a fence for a neighbor. The victim said the front door of her home was left open while she talked to the man at the back door for about five minutes. The next morning, the victim realized about $500 in jewelry, $400 in cash and car keys were missing from the home. ■ A 33-year-old Brookfield woman called police on Oct. 6 at 2:15 p.m. to report that someone had entered her unlocked vehicle, parked in the lot at St. Barbara Church, 4008 Prairie Ave., ransacked it and took a wallet and prescription drugs from a purse that was left in plain view on the front seat.
Gunfire report Four residents of Brookfield’s south end reported hearing what sounded like gunfire around 10:50 p.m. on Oct. 5. The complainant, a 66-year-old resident of the area near Ehlert Park, told police he was inside his home when he heard two gunshots followed by a pause and then four more shots. Other witnesses, including a Brookfield firefighter, also confirmed they’d heard what sounded like several gunshots. Police canvassed the area but were unable to find evidence of shots being fired. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Oct. 3-10, 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.

Their final offer
t’s unusual for anyone to negotiate the settlement of a lawsuit in public, but that’s what’s going on between the village of Brookfield and RiversideBrookfield High School. On Monday night, the Brookfield village board voted to direct its attorney to hand the school district its final settlement offer regarding the parking lot that RBHS would like to build on land that it owns north of Hollywood School. That’s not so unusual, but the lengthy statement by President Kit Ketchmark prior to the vote was. In the statement, he stated the terms of the take-it-or-leaveit offer specifically and started the clock on the high school accepting it. We understand that this is not the solution RBHS wanted when it embarked on its campaign to try to address what is an admittedly awful parking shortage whenever there are events of any note going on at the high school. But there’s no solution that would be acceptable to either the village or the Hollywood neighborhood that would actually solve the parking shortage if it involved the construction of a massive parking lot in a residential area. So, best-case scenario, the school district still is left with a partial solution. And if it ends up winning its lawsuit and the court grants the school the 91-space lot it wanted initially, it’s going to lose 108 spaces it now enjoys on Rockefeller Avenue. It will be a net loss of parking even if the school district wins. There is no reason to believe the village of Brookfield is going to budge on the issue of Rockefeller Avenue, and it’s crucial to any parking plan the high school would like to create. Add to all of that an offer by the village to lease Rockefeller Avenue to the high school for the next 20 years at $1 per year, and we don’t see how the high school can walk away from this. Right now, the high school pays $13,000 per year for the use of Rockefeller Avenue. The prospect of not having to pay that future lease cost, plus avoiding lengthy litigation will end up saving taxpayers, who are, after all, footing this bill. That is money that can be better spent on village services and education. It won’t end the high school’s need to address parking in the future, but the village has also pledged as part of this deal to work with the high school to try to engage Brookfield Zoo in the conversation. Will that ultimately work? We don’t know, but if the high school and village remain adversaries, it won’t solve anything. This is a sensible solution. The acrimony needs to end and the community and neighborhood have to be able to move on. We urge the RBHS Board of Education to accept the village’s offer, get their parking lot and tennis courts built and work with Brookfield in the future to continue to address the issue of parking near the high school.

Support funding for Alzheimer’s research Recent decades have seen an extraordinary shift in our expectations when we are confronted with what once were terminal illnesses. With access to quality healthcare, diseases that were once death sentences are now treatable. I am writing this letter to help raise awareness that with the dedication and resources that have successfully turned the tables on other previously terminal illnesses, the first Alzheimer’s disease survivor could be alive right now. Americans must understand that finding a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is critical. More than 5.4 million people in our country have Alzheimer’s disease and it is the only disease in the top-10 causes of death for which no prevention, treatment nor cure exists - it is 100 percent lethal. As a result, this year alone, the federal government will spend more than $160 billion caring for people with Al-
zheimer’s, and as the baby boomer generation ages, this number will grow every year. In my role as an Alzheimer’s Association Ambassador, I work with other advocates to build congressional support for funding Alzheimer’s research. Representative Danny Davis has supported increasing federal research funding in the past, but we still have yet to hit even half of the $2 billion per year level that National Institutes of Health leaders say is necessary to beat this disease, so we need his support again. With the past history of successes that we have seen from the NIH, we can expect our investments to pay off -- as long as we can make them. Not only is the first survivor of Alzheimer’s out there, millions more are.

Open House Chicago comes to Oak Park 10 local buildings are part of annual architectural festival By LACEY SIKORA
I
Contributing Reporter
n 2011, the Chicago Architectural Foundation (CAF) held its inaugural Open House Chicago event, a one-weekend, free-ofcharge, architectural festival in which notable Chicago structures opened their doors for tours. A global movement, the first Open House weekend was held in London in 1992 and has since spread around the world. This year, Oak Park has been added to the list of participants, joining Evanston as one of two suburbs represented. Ten Oak Park buildings will be included in the open house, Oct. 15-16 (see sidebar for hours and locations). Nikki Snodgrass, media relations manager of CAF, said adding Oak Park was a natural for the foundation. “Oak Park is so significant, particularly when it comes to Frank Lloyd Wright,” she said. The foundation has several Frank Lloyd Wright tours and they’re really popular, so we just knew our audience would be thrilled about adding Oak Park.”

OPEN HOUSE
Ten from Oak Park from page B1 launched the smaller-scale community open house as a one-time volunteer effort, know that they would need to seek help in order to sustain it. After Ruehle-May pitched the project to Open House Chicago, Vantage Development agreed to come on board as a sponsor, and the rest was history. Ruehle-May is thrilled to see Oak Park’s local architecture scene reach a larger audience. “Open House Chicago,” she pointed out, “gets about 80,000 visitors overall. We’re not expecting that many to come to Oak Park, but it’s an exciting opportunity. Hopefully, we’ll get a lot of people to shop and eat and visit Oak Park over the weekend. Because it’s free, it opens up the buildings to everyone who is the least bit interested in architecture, not to mention the wonderful buildings in our own backyard.”

St. Edmund Church Wright’s Home & Studio up the street on Forest Avenue,” he said. an We used Roman brick, a very com-mon element in Wright’s designs to clad the entire garage, and at the same time, the tower above it is contemporary glass.”

We’re a bit hard to find on a heavily wooded lot with a beautiful garden.” The Art League is housed in a 1902 E.E. Roberts coach house and stable, one of only two he designed in Oak Park. Originally part of the 1894 Victorian home to the west, the coach house has both Victorian and Prairie design elements. “There’s a synergy between us and some of the other Open House sites,” Carpenter said. The Art League was founded in 1921 and moved into the Wright Home & Studio until 1928. Then we moved to the Nineteenth Century Club until Grace Hemingway, a major patron, raised the money to buy this Photo by Tim Inklebarger
For Vantage developer Michael Glazier, sponsoring Oak Park in the Open House Chicago festival was an easy choice. “Obviously, Oak Park is a destination unto itself for architectural interest,” he said. “When Open House contacted us, the architecture of our own building tied into the event. We have a history of community involvement, and this was spot-on because of the nature of our building.” Vantage Oak Park, a newly constructed high-rise apartment building at Lake and Forest, will also be one of the buildings open to the public over the weekend. Glazier noted that the design of the building acknowledges Oak Park’s architectural history as it creates something more modern. “The architecture is contemporary, but elements are contextual and tie into Frank Lloyd

home.” In his retirement, E.E. Roberts was a member of the Art League, and he was commissioned to adapt the coach house, turning it into the Art League’s headquarters in 1937. His original plans for the space, as well as one of his original paintings, are in the Art League’s collection. Carpenter said the location of the Art League adds to the cultural conversation about Oak Park. “We really do form a tri-part dialogue of architecture, writing and the arts with the Home & Studio up the street and the Ernest Hemingway birthplace a block away.” On Lake Street, Pilgrim Congregational Church is a well-known Oak Park landmark
with its proximity to the high school and the farmers market, but few are aware of its rich architectural history. Designed by Patton & Fisher, the original chapel was built in 1889 with the current sanctuary completed in 1900. It is the oldest continuously operated house of worship in Oak Park according to Delena Williams, member and Open House organizer for Pilgrim Congregational Church. Williams noted that the current parlor will be of particular interest to tour participants. “It was originally the Sunday School room and has a series of smaller rooms separated by balconies,” she said. The superintendent of Sunday School stood in the middle of the room and could see inside all of the Sunday School classrooms.” For a complete listing of the more than 200 buildings open to the public during the 48 hours of Open House Chicago, visit www. openhousechicago.org.

Perl Mortgage and Andrew Palomo: Mortgage Mysteries Solved
W
hen it comes to buying a home, whether you’re a first time purchaser or looking to get back into the market, the world of mortgage financing can seem overwhelming. Mortgage Planner Andrew Palomo of Oak Park’s Perl Mortgage is here to take the mystery out of applying for and obtaining financing for your home purchase, whatever your circumstances may be. Andrew has over twenty five years of experience in the industry and brings a strong financial background to his work with mortgage clients. He points out that there are a lot of misconceptions about the mortgage process and that a trusted guide can make sure you end up with the best product for your personal circumstances. For Andrew, there is no one-sizefits-all approach to the mortgage business. “We start out with: what are you trying to get done, and how can
we get you there? The focus is on the clients.” For renters looking to jump into the home owning world, the ability to buy a home may be more obtainable than you think. According to Andrew, 22% of renters who think they cannot qualify for a loan, have the ability to buy a home but just don’t know it. “We partner with the Path2Buy program which is geared towards first time home buyers. People generally start the process with Google, but paid advertisements on the internet might not provide a complete picture of the process. Our online program is specifically designed to educate renters about the home buying experience.” Anyone interested in the Path2Buy program can attend a free 7 minute webinar for first time homebuyers at http://www.path2buypartners.com/ andrew-palomo/.
Mortgage education is also helpful for those looking to re-enter the arena of home owning. Andrew notes that many people who have been through a prior foreclosure or short sale aren’t sure about the requirements for getting back into the market. “There can be a lot of confusion about when you can get back in and how. We can help you figure out the timelines and how to enter the market again.” At Perl Mortgage, Andrew also offers community education on the wide variety of mortgage tools available and hosts weekly classes at Perl’s Oak Park office.
Andrew Palomo help with closing costs, or someone whose student loan debt keeps you from putting 20% down, we can help.”
For Andrew the key is structuring everything to each specific client’s Perl Mortgage is located at 224 S. needs. “We help people structure a Marion in Oak Park. To schedule an deal that works for them, no matter appointment with Andrew or learn what obstacles they face.

Oak Park Arms: A Great Resource to Oak Park, River Forest, and Forest Park Independent, Assisted Living and Adult Day Care Rental Retirement Community
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.
Welcome Home! Come to the Oak Park Arms and enjoy the company of our family with full independent, assisted living and short-term care accommodations. Enjoy the warmth of new friends and comfortable home-like surroundings.Let us take care of all your needs. It’s all at the Arms!
Call today to schedule a tour -708-386-4040 Oak Park Arms • 408 S. Oak Park Ave. • Oak Park, IL, 60302 www.oakparkarms.com
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.

Resilience: At the Heart of the`Paradox of Old Age’ F or the past three years, Dr. Lydia Manning has been a key figure in the development of the Center for Gerontology at Concordia University Chicago in River Forest. She has also volunteered for and served as a strong advocate of the Celebrating Seniors Coalition, a not-for-profit organization that draws from individuals, businesses, congregations, government agencies and other individuals and organizations serving the senior population. In this Q & A with Manning, an associate professor of gerontology and program faculty leader for gerontology at Concordia, we explored one of the traits that frequently comes with aging: resilience. Q: Everyone encounters trauma, and the longer people live, the more they will experience it. So what
determines how people respond to it? A: Resilience is the result of an individual’s ability to recover from distressing events while persisting through extreme adversities. Resilience is manifest in how a person successfully negotiates everyday challenges in life. Q: You have noted that the concept of resilience emerged from what gerontologists call the “paradox of old age.” What does that mean? A: This paradox suggests that while older adults experience more loss and decline as they age, compared to their younger counterparts, they also experience the highest levels of life satisfaction and overall wellbeing. Researchers have argued that resilience is fundamental to older adults having high levels of life satisfaction, contentment, and wellbeing. There are three hallmarks of
resilience: recovery (bouncing back from stress and returning to balance), sustained purpose (moving forward and finding meaning through engagement), and growth (emerging stronger from dealing with stresses and hardships). Q: So what is the difference between those who have high levels of resilience and those with low levels? A: In my own work as a gerontologist, I suggest that enduring hardship and adversity is largely influenced by self-perceived emotional strength and resilience. This notion of self-perceived strength is an underlying component of resilience. I have explored how older adults manage hardship and adversity as they age and examine the key factors of resilience in later life. Q: Can you provide more specifics? A: My findings indicate that resilient elders engage in five key behaviors when navigating hardship: adversity confrontation, problem re-framing, resource mapping, self-preservation, and embracing uncertainty. Older adults have discussed their management strategies for confronting adversity with me, and talked openly about how they see adversity as an opportunity for growth and expansion. They intentionally map their life resources, mining for social support and tapping into the benefits of human connection. Older adults know the importance of practicing radical selfcare and compassion, especially in the face of uncertainty.
Q: Can you share one of the more compelling discoveries you have made as a gerontologist? I have been struck by how comfortable elders are with ambiguity, lack of control, and vulnerability. For them, being
strong and having resilience meant being able to dwell comfortably and peacefully with the uncertainty embedded in their lives and to embrace their vulnerability as people, particularly as they grow older. An overarching theme linking these behaviors was the magnitude and frequency in how participants conceptualized themselves as having emotional strength, exhibiting resilience, and being survivors: “Of course I am resilient. I am here, aren’t I? If I weren’t a survivor, I would have given up a long time ago.”
Celebrating Seniors is a not-for-profit organization that draws from individuals, businesses, congregations, government agencies and other individuals and organizations that serve the senior population. It has four main objectives: to provide financial support for seniors in need; to facilitate cooperation between the business community, government agencies and non-profit organizations for the benefit of the senior population; to promote senior groups and organizations that serve persons 60 and older; and to raise public awareness of issues affecting seniors.

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.

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.

Punch up your style for a new you!
n the fashion world, savvy consumers know that it is easy to be on trend by mixing classic, existing pieces with a few strategic new pieces to create an entirely new look without buying an entirely new wardrobe each season. The same is true in the jewelry world. A statement piece combined with classic styles creates a completely fresh and updated look. Bold earrings or brightly colored bangles bring a creative pop to a business suit while delicate chains or beads can add to the romance of paisleys and floral prints. Brenda Patterson, a sales associate at Hursts’
Berwyn Jewelers and former stylist at Nordstrom’s, understands this first hand. She takes pleasure in helping people to pull together different jewelry pieces to create a current look that suits each customer’s personal style. “Today, the biggest trend is layering,” Patterson says. “Whether it’s three necklaces or multiple bracelets, dare to mix it up.” Patterson advises people to follow a few simple rules when choosing multiple jewelry pieces. “You want to create a flow that moves the eye from piece to piece,” she explains. “For example, consider wearing a choker with a lariat necklace, or stack a big statement bracelet with dainty bangles.” Additionally, Patterson recommends, “Be sure to provide balance. With makeup, you want to choose either deep
eye shadow or a bright lipstick, but not both. Similarly, with jewelry, if you want to wear a big statement necklace, then choose small earrings.” During a fall designer trunk show, Patterson, along with other sales associates, will help consumers to create their own updated looks. The three-day event will take place at Hursts’ Berwyn Jewelers on October 14, 15 and 17. Consultants will provide personalized style recommendations and photograph attendees, so they can create similar looks on their own. Attendees also will have exclusive access to gorgeous designs by Lecil and Mason-Kay, which have been brought in especially for the event. Both jewelry houses feature a range of styles, from modern tailored looks to romantic classics. The Luca and
Henderson Collection lines by Lecil bring gold, silver, leather, sapphires, pearls, and other gems and metals into creative combinations. Meanwhile, Mason-Kay features beautiful natural jade of varying colors in timeless designs. For details on the trunk show event hours, visit www.hurstsberwynjewelers. com, email hurstsjewelers@yahoo.com, or call (708) 788-0880.

Slow start costs LTHS against Hinsdale Central Lions’ 21-point rally not enough as Red Devils lead conference By LAUREN RECCHIA
W
Contributing Reporter
ith Lyons Township, Hinsdale Central, Glenbard West and Oak Park and River Forest all in the mix, the West Suburban Conference Silver Division is one of the top high school football conferences in the state. Among the top four, however, the best rivalry exists between LTHS and Hinsdale Central. The host Lions and Red Devils renewed acquaintances on Friday at Bennett Field with Hinsdale Central holding on for a 28-21 victory. The Red Devils’ victory coupled with OPRF’s loss at Glenbard West puts Hinsdale Central (7-0, 5-0 West Suburban Silver) atop the conference, followed by LTHS and OPRF (both 6-1, 3-1) and Glebard West (5-2, 3-2) with two weeks remaining in the regular season. LTHS dug out of a 21-0 deficit late in the third quarter with three unanswered touchdowns against the Red Devils. “We need to start a lot faster,” LTHS junior quarterback Ben Bryant said. “Not scoring any points in the first half really hurt us. Starting fast is probably our biggest problem right now.” Bryant fueled the rally with an 83-yard touchdown pass WILLIAM CAMARGO/Staff Photographer
Friars put away Providence late
Keller, Lillig and defense trigger second-half comeback win against Celtics By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor
During a season in which the Fenwick High School football team has already won two of three games against defending state champions Phillips, Montini and Loyola Academy, perhaps it’s only fitting the Friars faced one more monster before the regular season wrapped up. Fenwick rallied for 35-27 win Friday against visiting Providence Catholic at Triton College in River Grove. The Celtics have won 10 state titles. While Providence has a pedestrian 3-4 record this season, make no mistake, the Friars earned an impressive win. Providence hails from the highly regarded Chicago Catholic League Blue Division which includes perennial powers Loyola Academy, Mount Carmel, St. Rita and Brother Rice. The Celtics led 28-20 at halftime

In between those TDs, senior safety Thomas Jackson ran into the end zone on a scoop and score after LTHS blocked a punt deep in Hinsdale Central territory. “The defensive line and linebackers did a great job on that play,” Jackson said. “I was just happy to be in a position to catch it and come down with it. “We were doing what we know we could do. Our offense is great; I don’t think there’s a better one than ours. Once they get their confidence up, it’s hard to stop them.” Tied at 21-all, Hinsdale Central senior quarterback Josh Bean scored on a TD run midway through the fourth quarter to give the Red Devils the lead for good at 28-21. Bryant went 10-for-20 passing with 189 yards and two touchdowns. Austin (2 catches, 93 yards) and Fischer (2 catches, 65 yards) led the wide receiving corps. Senior running back Reggie Terrell chipped in 39 yards on six carries for the Lions. “Our offensive line played great and our receivers ran good routes,” Bryant said. “They got open pretty easily. I just threw the ball which was the easy part. They all played really well.” The Lions visit OPRF Saturday in another marquee matchup. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. “That will be another tough one. OPRF is a great team,” LTHS coach Kurt Weinberg said. “We have to improve on the things we made mistakes on today and see where we go.”

Nunez leads RBHS cross country
Senior striving to become Bulldogs’ first top-25, all state individual since 1975 By BILL STONE Contributing Reporter
As an incoming freshman, Riverside-Brookfield senior Mateo Nunez had no choice. “I didn’t want to do a sport at first. My parents made me,” Nunez said. “I knew one of my friends was going to go out for cross country, but I didn’t know what that entailed. It was my first running experience.” Nunez made his next big athletic decision during the 2014 track and field season. It was to become a better runner. Nunez’s mentality and leadership has helped to put the Bulldogs in position for their highest state cross country finish in more than 40 years. As No. 7 in the Class 2A state rankings Oct. 4, RBHS is the highest rated team for the Wheaton Academy Sectional Oct. 29, and the top five teams at sectionals advance to state. Nunez, 40th as a 2015 Class 2A individual state qualifier (15 minutes, 26 seconds for 3.0 miles), is striving to become the Bulldogs’ first top-25, all-state individual since 1975, when the state meet was only one class. RBHS competes at the Metro Suburban Conference Meet Saturday. “We’re good because of hard training and commitment,” Nunez said. “As long as we give 100 percent, there’s nothing else we can give. “We approach every race with a humble mentality. We know who we are and where we stand in the rankings, but we know that’s subject to change every race. (RBHS coach Larry Forberg) told us we were the ones trying to catch other teams and fight for this, fight for that. Now R-B is a team to catch.” Despite numerous top-10 invite finishes, Nunez feels he
should be running better. The Bulldogs’ gap also continues to improve between their consistent top-four finishers – Nunez and juniors Connor O’Brien, Jack Sagan and Jacob Wardzala -- and No. 5 finisher, the last that counts toward the team score. Senior Matt Zamudio, back from an early-season knee injury, was part of last year’s seventh-place sectional lineup. Other top-five contenders are juniors Jason Noel and Ryan Hahn and sophomore David Keen. At the RBHS Invite Sept. 16, Nunez won (15:58.5) and the Bulldogs (38) won by four points over Fenwick. Sagan (16:23.7), O’Brien (16:32.5) and Wardzala (17:06.8) were fourth, fifth and seventh and Noel (18:11.8) and Keen (18:20.5) were 21st and 22nd. At the Sterling Invite Saturday, Nunez was sixth (15:26.4) with O’Brien (30th), Sagan (35th) and Wardzala (45th) also among the top 45. The Bulldogs (164) were seventh and behind the other two top-10 2A teams. “If every week, they can say we worked hard and we ran a good race, I’m happy, and I think they’re happy,” Forberg said. “(Nunez has) had good leadership on the team, set a good example. What’s nice is he, Connor, Jack, Jacob, when they finish mile repeats (in practice), they walk back toward the guys coming after and they’re cheering them on.” At the 2015 MSC West Meet, the Bulldogs were fourth and Nunez was second to current Fenton senior Jose VazquezPerez, 54th at 2A state. At the regional, Nunez (15:54) broke the RBHS previous course record but was second by 19 seconds. The Bulldogs once again will play host to regionals Oct. 22. “I would like to sweep the postseason – conference, regional, sectional wins, maybe even set a couple of course records,” Nunez said. “Come state, depending on how I feel, I’m going to go for at least top 5, top 3. My body feels great.
File photo
RBHS senior Mateo Nunez is one of the top runners in program history. My training’s been going good.” As a freshman, Nunez’s fastest mile during a cross country season hampered by injury was 6:06. By track season, Nunez brought it down to 4:56. “He once said, ‘How could I get better?’” Forberg recalled. “I said instead of running with your friends at the back of the pack, during practice move up to the next pack. When he saw he could do (sub-5:00), he was like, ‘Oh. OK.’
Trio of talented runners motivates Bulldogs Jurgens, Janney and Kaczmarz provide leadership for RBHS girls cross country
By BILL STONE Contributing Reporter
Even if Riverside-Brookfield junior Hailey Jurgens achieves her second Class 2A cross country state berth as an individual, she didn’t do it alone. This season, Jurgens has been joined up front by sophomores Tara Janney and Nadia Kaczmarz as the Bulldogs appear in contention of qualifying for state a team. “I always mentally prepare to have a good race, stick with the top group, but knowing there are other teammates with me in that top group is even more motivation for me to do well,” Jurgens said. “As a team, we definitely have a much stronger team this year. It increases the motivation we put into practice every day.” The Bulldogs currently aren’t among the 25 ranked teams in 2A, but they are favored to achieve one of the five state team berths out of the Wheaton Academy Sectional Oct. 29, in which only No. 19 Lemont is rated. The top seven individuals not among the five
qualifying teams also advance. RBHS meets sectional contenders Wheaton Academy, Glenbard South and Aurora Central Catholic at the Metro Suburban Conference Meet Saturday at Plunkett Park in Elmhurst. On Sept. 24, the Bulldogs won the Blue division at ACC’s Charger Invite with Janney and Jurgens fourth and fifth and Kaczmarz 12th. “We’ve had some of our best team finishes that we’ve had in quite some time,” RBHS coach Brennan Denny said. “Having three girls up front in a lot of our races has been a huge factor. The second key factor is we’ve really started to get a push from our fourth, fifth and sixth edging closer to that top group.” It’s a new lineup since the Bulldogs last reached state as a team in 2013 and foreign exchange student Mailin Struck was the 2A individual state champion. Other key contributors have been freshman Emma Fortman, sophomores Cora Lutes and Melissa Oliveira Liz and senior

co-captain Natalie Cote. As a freshman, Jurgens was 38th at 2A state with a time of 18 minutes, 18 seconds. At last season’s Wheaton Academy Sectional, she was 26th (19:40.3), two places from advancing individually. “I definitely gained the experience (from 2014 state),” Jurgens said. “I’ve been guiding the underclassmen, telling them how each race works and who to look out for, who to pace with. A lot of friends from the guys’ team have helped me with the leadership.” On Saturday, the Bulldogs were seventh at the Sterling Invite (200 points), two points ahead of Fenwick. Jurgens (18th, 19:06.0), Kaczmarz (25th, 19:26.5) and Janney (27th, 19:30.0) were followed by Fortman (56th), Oliveira Liz (79th) and Lutes (81st). “It’s been really interesting every Saturday because there’s not necessarily a clear No. 1 on the team,” Denny said. “Hailey really sees the potential that running as a trifecta as opposed to her having to be the leader and way out front every time.”
