Trustees to give Riverside the bird Village board in favor of pilot program for chickens in 2017

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Backyard chickens in Riverside? You’d better believe it.

At their next regularly scheduled business meeting on Dec. 1, Riverside trustees are poised to approve an ordinance allowing hens to be kept in the village’s residential backyards, at least as a oneyear pilot program, beginning in 2017.

An informal poll of trustees during the latest discussion of the subject on Nov. 17 indicated that trustees were in favor of a pilot program by a 4 to 2 margin. Trustees Joseph Ballerine and Michael Sedivy opposed allowing chickens to be raised in the village.

“I don’t think I’d be too excited about having chickens next door to my house,” Sedivy said.

Ballerine pointed to an Oct. 6 report by the Center for Disease Control linking backyard chickens to an uptick in salmonella cases during 2016 as one reason why he was against allowing hens in the village.

“We’re not a rural community,” said Ballerine.

“I don’t like the idea.”

But other trustees were amenable to a pilot program after village staff submitted more information from other suburban Chicago communities that allow chickens.

Village staff surveyed a dozen communities that allow chickens and heard back from Brookfield, Burr Ridge, Downers Grove, North Riverside, Oak Park and Western Springs.

Joseph Topinka says gesture wasn’t about politics, but of respect

By BOB UPHUES Editor

When Susana Mendoza walked out onto the stage to make her acceptance speech on Nov. 8 after being elected Illinois comptroller, she did so wearing a fire-engine red suit with brass buttons.

It wasn’t just any old suit. It had belonged to one of the state’s pioneering female politicians who also happened to be a predecessor in the comptroller’s office – Judy Baar Topinka, who died in office in December 2014.

The suit was given to her by Topinka’s son, Joseph, several weeks before the election during a visit by Mendoza to Topinka’s former home on Herrick Road in Riverside. That Joseph Topinka offered the jacket-skirt ensemble to Mendoza, a Democrat – his mother was a Republican – says as much about what he thinks of Mendoza as it does about his feelings about the Illinois GOP these days.

“Ms. Mendoza is very much like my mother,” Topinka said in a telephone interview last week. “I think she has the opportunity to bring a new perspective on what state government is all about in an era of fog and darkness.”

Mendoza was traveling and was unavailable to comment for this story.

For the past two years, Joseph Topinka has been trying to convince various government agencies to find a way to publicly hon-

or the legacy of his mother, who served as a state representative, state senator and state treasurer before making an unsuccessful run for governor in 2006.

He first approached the Riverside Township Board, asking them to rename the township hall in honor of his mother. The board declined to do that, but agreed to dedicate the second-floor auditorium in her name and erect a plaque outside the room.

Topinka said he’s also been unsuccessful in getting a reading room at the Riverside Public Library named in his mom’s honor.

In the meantime, Topinka’s been embroiled in a lawsuit, now waiting to be heard by the Illinois Court of Appeals, regarding money left in his mother’s political campaign committee fund.

Topinka sued in January, claiming he was entitled to more than $300,000 remaining in the fund and that a former close political ally improperly received payments from the fund.

Topinka said he wanted the money to go toward the Judy Baar Topinka Charitable Foundation, which he created after his mother’s death. However, a Cook County Circuit Court judge dismissed the suit in April.

Between his frustrations with the GOP-controlled Riverside Township Board and the lawsuit against two of his mom’s former GOP allies, Joseph Topinka has not been a fan of Illinois Republicans lately.

Editor Bob Uphues Sports Editor Marty Farmer

COURTESY OF TWITTER

HAND ME DOWN: Susana Mendoza, wearing a suit once owned by Judy Baar Topinka, gives the thumbs up on Nov. 8 as she appears to give her acceptance speech after being elected Illinois comptroller.

“The Republican Party and the treatment of the Topinka family since my mother’s death have been absent,” Topinka said.

“There’s been nothing. The absence of attention of the Republican Party toward my mother’s legacy is astounding to me.”

On the other hand, said Topinka, the comptroller-elect has expressed interest in advancing his mom’s legacy.

“She has advocated for my mother’s memory with the township and shall continue to do so,” Topinka said. “I’m grateful she’s advocating for my mother’s legacy as much as I am.”

So when Mendoza came to visit, Topinka gave her a tour of

his mom’s home and showed her his mother’s wardrobe. She found the red suit ensemble.

According to Topinka, he said, “It’s yours. My mom would want you to have it.”

Topinka said he gave Mendoza some other items to display in the comptroller’s office after she takes the oath in January.

And when she takes the oath, Topinka said, she’ll be doing it with her hand on a Bible given to his mother by her parents in 1960. “[Mendoza] was a supporter before she knew she was running for comptroller,” said Topinka.

“It’s not about politics. It’s about friendship, respect and role models.”

D96 board hires architect for master building plan DLA Architects chosen over district’s architect of record

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Less than a year after hiring Legat Architects as its architect of record, the Riverside Elementary School District 96 Board of Education voted unanimously on Nov. 16 to hire DLA Architects Ltd. to complete a long-

range master facilities survey.

The document is meant to provide the district with a comprehensive plan with respect to its five school campuses for the next decade. DLA Architects will complete architectural surveys of each school facility, including how existing buildings can deliver a contemporary curriculum; conduct an on-

line survey “for educational delivery evaluation”; conduct student interviews and host three community meetings; integrate lifesafety improvements; and present a final report to the school board in June 2017.

With the 2017 holiday season on our doorstep, things have begun to hum a little louder in Riverside’s central business district.

Last week, La Barra Ristorante opened its doors to patrons at 2 E. Burlington St. in the corner commercial space of the Village Center development. The Italian restaurant features a selection of small plates and salads to share as well as pasta dishes, full entrees and burgers.

Of course, pizza is a signature dish of the restaurant, including both thin and pan pizza. In addition to dining in (seats have been hard to come by during the first week, so it may be best to make a reservation), the restaurant also delivers and accepts take-out orders.

It’s open for dinner Monday through Friday and for lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday.

Pop-up shops sprout downtown While you’re waiting for a table at La Barra, from Nov. 25 through Dec. 3 a trio of Riverside businesses will be operating a pop-up shop from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends (with evening appointments) at 16 E. Burlington St., next to Shamrock Florist.

The businesses that are teaming up

include Bridget Hoch and her Etcetera Fall and Winter Trunk Show of women’s clothes, Robin Mooney of Arcade Jewelers with a selection of vintage and contemporary jewelry and Karen Mitchell of Deck Those Dolls, which features hand-crafted holiday items.

The pop-up shop will host an open house reception on Saturday, Nov. 26 and will participate in the Riverside Chamber of Commerce’s Holiday Stroll on Dec. 2.

Meanwhile, across the tracks over at the Riverside train station, 90 Bloomingbank Road, Kate Coffey opened her Chocolate Twist pop-up shop on Nov. 21.

The shop, which features an assortment of sweet treats, is located in the east wing of the station and is open weekday mornings from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. through the holiday season.

Chocolate Twist will also be open during the Holiday Stroll.

Sawmilly eyes Dec. 5 open Finally, Scott Zimmer, the owner of The Chew Chew in downtown Riverside has announced that he intends to open his longawaited new venture, Sawmilly, on Dec. 5 at 35 E. Burlington St, next to his restaurant.

As of Nov. 21, no menu was available online but, according to its Facebook page, Sawmilly will specialize in serving “premium quality hand-carved sandwiches.”

Child care center headed to former Helping Hand space Alphabet Learning Center hopes to open second location on Grand Blvd. next spring

By BOB UPHUES Editor

The former helping Helping Hand Thrift Store at 3726 Grand Blvd. in downtown Brookfield, vacant since it was gutted by fire in April 2013, will have new life as a child care center next spring.

Alphabet Learning Center, which already operates a location for children 6 weeks to 6 years on Broadway Avenue near Eight Corners, will open a second location on Grand Boulevard once a buildout of the space is complete, said Heather Mayes, director of the center.

“There’s a big need in Brookfield,” said Mayes, who has been the director at Alphabet since March 2012. “We were turning down 10 to 15 people a week.”

Regina Spevak, the owner of the business, opened Alphabet Learning Center in October 2011. The Broadway Avenue location cares for about 85 children (about 75 at any one time), and the new Grand

BRANCHING OUT: Heather Mayes and Regina Spevak will expand Alphabet Learning Center by opening a second location on Grand Blvd. next spring.

Boulevard space ought to be able to accommodate between 63 and 67 children, Mayes said.

“Brookfield is such a wonderful community for families starting

out,” Mayes said. “We had a big boom last year. Seventeen of our families got pregnant.”

Alphabet Learning Center had been looking at locations in Brook-

Making Your Dreams a Reality!

field, LaGrange and LaGrange Park. Mayes said it was important that the new location be close to the Metra line.

The company had been working with a Western Springs-based real estate firm called KrohVan Real Estate Services to find a location.

On Sept. 30, KrohVan purchased the property for $165,000 from the prior owners, John Scaletta and Michael Maksimovich. Mayes said Alphabet Learning Center has entered into a long-term lease on the space.

Scaletta said that he retains ownership of the building at 3730 Grand Blvd., a two-story structure that’s immediately south of the one-story brick building that will house Alphabet Learning Center.

According to Scaletta, the twostory building, which was once part of the Helping Hand operation, is being renovated to include a first-floor storefront with an apartment above.

Chris Krohe, the owner of KrohVan, said his architect will soon

submit building permit applications for the buildout, which will include bathrooms for both adults and children, a kitchenette and five rooms to house the various age groups served by the center.

“They hope to be open spring 2017,” Krohe said.

Renovating the space, however, should brighten up the west side of Grand Boulevard, which has suffered from having a vacant, boarded-up building for more than three years.

“It really takes away a negative and turns it into a positive,” said Nicholas Greifer, community and economic development director for the village of Brookfield. “It’s a huge aesthetic win for the whole block.

Greifer said that while a child care center in the midst of a retail block is “unconventional,” it will drive foot traffic to the business district.

“From a pedestrian standpoint, it’ll be complementary to the other businesses there,” Greifer said.

Taps pouring at Brookfield Ale House New restaurant opens after 10-month renovation project

By BOB UPHUES Editor

When the Brookfield Ale House quietly opened its doors Nov. 16, owner Steve Landrey admitted being a bit nervous. He had just finished a 10-month renovation of the space at 8900 Fairview Ave. in downtown Brookfield that went far beyond what he’d imagined going in.

Seeing the possibilities of the space, Landrey jumped at a chance that others who looked at the space knew would be risky and walked away. When he first pitched the plan to the village back in late January, he felt he’d be open by April.

He quickly learned that wasn’t going to happen, but it also let him create a completely new concept. While nominally an, “ale house” the business is first and foremost a restaurant that can seat about 115 with a menu that covers everything from appetizers and burgers to steaks, chicken, pasta and seafood.

In addition to more than 100 beers available (including 20 on tap) the bar also features a selection of craft spirits and a selection of about 20 wines, several by the glass.

“If I knew the time it would take and the work it would take and the money it would take, I would never have done this,” Landrey said. “But it’s a blessing in disguise, because I’m really glad we did it.”

Right now Brookfield Ale House isn’t serving the full menu; that will come in a couple of weeks, Landrey said. And, for now, the business is open from 4 to 11 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; 4 p.m. to midnight on Thursday and Friday; 11 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday.

“We’re still working out the menu,” Landrey said. “It’s limited right now.”

Among the renovation work Landrey and his partner, ZeZe Aiyash, did was to install a

Young Life group celebrates 10th year You may not read about this group for their accomplishments on the front pages or the sports pages, but the young people and the adults who part of the organization called Young Life are all winners and deserving of attention.

Young Life is an organization that gives young people a place gather while focusing on the premise that you are never alone because Christ is always at your side. Locally Young Life members mainly come from RiversideBrookfield High School, but the group includes students from other schools as well.

They meet at the Hollywood Community House where they can be themselves and share different aspects of their lives. The popularity of the group has resulted in an expansion of the program last year when WyldLife, for junior high-age students, was formed. There are no dues, or qualifications to belonging just the desire to be there.

On Nov. 18, Young Life held their 10th year celebration benefit with over 200 people gathering at the Riverside Golf Club. Because Young Life exists on donations, the generosity of many has made it possible for the organization to continue and grow.

Heading up the local group is Jonathan Gorney, who served as emcee for the program and is a staff member at RiversideBrookfield High School. Speakers included Dan Bonarigo, an RBHS teacher; student Samantha Bloom, who spoke of living out the legacy; Chesleigh Rogers, director of the WyldLife group; and Mike Ashburn, special assistant to the president of Young Life.

The highlight of the evening, along with a slide show featuring past and present members giving testimony, was when the doors opened and in came more than 50 young people obviously happy being members of Young Life. I have seen their participation helping in various ways, seeing young people given the opportunity to attend camps or going places to help others. A family member went to Nicaragua and was able to assist at an orphanage. She came back feeling she received more than she had given.

To learn more about Young Life or help support it go to www.rbyl.org and be part of the continuing legacy in the RiversideBrookfield community area. Be part of a winning team.

full commercial kitchen – the kitchen of the business it replaced, Salt Creek Wine Bar, was equipped simply with an electric oven – and an enormous, custom-built walk in cooler in the basement of the building that holds beer kegs for the tap beer.

Those are parts of the building that customers won’t see, but Landrey spent plenty of time creating an inviting space for the bar and restaurant areas, with walls that feature a lot of exposed brick as well as distressed, reclaimed wood.

Parallel to the bar is a long, irregularly shaped plank of Osage orange wood that Landrey calls a “signature piece” for high-top seating that essentially marks the end of the bar area and the beginning of the restaurant.

And if you didn’t know what town the business was in, you couldn’t miss the image that covers the entire north wall. It’s a 1920s-era photo of the Brookfield Fire Department that was one of about 20 found in the basement of the wine bar shortly after Landrey signed the lease.

Framed reproductions of other historic Brookfield photos can be seen elsewhere in the bar area.

Landrey expanded the restaurant area by demolishing a wall near the north end of the space. That area, which once served as a private seating area for the old wine bar, now doubles as a performance space.

The ale house will feature pianist Stan Karcz on Wednesdays and Fridays, and Landrey said he hopes to expand the live music offerings in the future, including bringing back the open mike night that was popular at Salt Creek Wine Bar. “I wanted to continue the intimacy of Salt Creek Wine Bar,” said Landrey. “The challenge was how to cater to all groups without chasing anyone away.”

Fitness studio opens in downtown Brookfield In addition to the opening of the Brookfield Ale House and the impending renovation of the former Helping Hand thrift store, another businesses has recently opened in the Grand/ Prairie business district.

Strive 4 Fitness, a personal and group fitness training studio, opened Nov. 1 at 3749½ Grand Blvd. The business is owned by Shawn Groll, who says he’s been working as a fitness trainer for the past decade and wanted to finally open his own gym.

“Brookfield is right in the middle of all the locations where I was before,” Groll said. “I’m a natural-born entrepreneur and wanted my own concept, my own studio.”

Strive 4 Fitness offers about 30 different classes in categories including boot camp, spin, TRX and kettles. The studio also offers personal and small group training, which Groll schedules in between class times.

Groll has a business management degree and received personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He says he’s also a fitness nutrition specialist.

The studio is open for classes seven days a week. The studio’s Facebook page can be found at @strive4fitnessbrookfield.

Mold-A-Rama, the Brookfield-based company known nationwide for its brightly colored molded plastic souvenirs, has always been old school.

If you wanted one of their blue dolphins or red panthers, you’d have to go to Brookfield Zoo or one of the other tourist attractions the company serves, plop your two bucks in the machine and experience the magic.

But on Nov. 11, Mold-A-Rama entered the digital age when it opened up an online store via a link on the company’s website, www. mold-a-rama.com.

Mold-A-Rama owner Paul Jones announced the arrival of the online store on Facebook the day before it went live, saying the inventory comprised molds that were no longer in production.

The initial stock included about 150 pieces, Jones told the Landmark in a phone interview. The store nearly sold out within hours of going live.

“We sold 70 percent of our inventory in the first three hours,” Jones said.

As of Nov. 16, there were about 25 items left in the store, including blue trains from the Henry Ford Museum and Binder Park Zoo, a few red rhinos that were part of a limited edition run for the company’s 50th anniversary at Brookfield Zoo and a couple of other molds.

Jones said that he’s not sure exactly what molds will appear in the store at a given time. The company has all kinds of molds that haven’t been in production for years – the Astrodome, pirates from a Field Museum exhibit six years ago, busts of every president up to John F. Kennedy, Disney charac-

ters, a Cupie doll.

“They might show up,” Jones said. “You never know.”

The online store even sold out of a mold that wasn’t very popular when it was unveiled in the 1970s -- the Brookfield Zoo wombat. Jones had a few test molds leftover from a special request to make some available for National Wombat Day (yes, there is such a thing, at least in Australia) in October.

“It sold out in a half hour,” Jones said.

But any of those might appear in the store, because the company runs test molds every time a machine is repaired in the shop or when machines are installed at zoos and museums to make sure they’re working right.

Jones said that there was some thought about keeping a couple of the machines out of general circulation in order to use them as molds to keep the store stocked, but he ultimately decided against it.

“If I have working machines, I’d rather put them out in the field for people to use,” he said.

The only trouble with the online store, at least right now, is making sure the inventory stays stocked. Mold-A-Rama is a small, family-run operation. Paul’s wife, Sue, set up the online store after working on it for about six months.

“It’s a lot of work,” said Paul. “You have to take photos of every mold you’re selling, and once you sell them, you have to ship them and do collections.”

At $5 a pop plus about $4 for shipping, the molds selling online are a bit more expensive than the ones you can buy at the zoo. But that hasn’t deterred collectors.

“It took off,” Jones said.

And in the future, the store may carry other Mold-A-Rama merchandise, like T-shirts and other items. Similar items were sold at Brookfield Zoo at the special Mold-A-Rama tent this summer during the company’s 50th anniversary celebration there.

“We had seen the success at Brookfield Zoo and thought, ‘This is something we can do,’” Jones said.

posal for a cost not to exceed $69,600, not including additional services, which will be billed on a time and materials basis.

DLA Architects was chosen from a field of three firms, including Legat, which submitted proposals to the school board.

The District 96 board hired Legat as the district’s architect of record in December 2015, but some board members expressed disappointment in the firm’s performance on a life-safety study of all of the schools, which was commissioned earlier this year.

There was also some discontent with the firm’s handling of three construction projects this summer – repaving the Central/ Hauser parking lot, installing an elevator at Hauser Junior High and replacing the Blyth Park School windows.

According to school board President Jeff Miller, not all board members shared that perspective, however. He also said the summer projects were completed on time and on budget.

Board member Randy Brockway, in particular, expressed displeasure with Legat and suggested that the district avoid using the firm all together in the future.

“I would add that we should use DLA for future work and cut ties with Legat at this point,” Brockway said during the school board’s regular business meeting on Nov. 16.

While not all board members felt so strongly about Legat’s performance, they agreed that DLA and not Legat would oversee improvements that Legat had identified in its recently completed life-safety report as projects for summer 2017.

Miller in a phone interview with the Landmark after the board’s decision to choose DLA Architects said that he saw no reason why District 96 shouldn’t have two architects of record, while suggesting that DLA might be preferred for some future work.

Miller pointed to the school board using two different law firms as an example of playing to the strengths of different firms for different projects.

“Legat is a big firm and I don’t want to judge them too hard on not being 100-percent happy,” Miller said. “I wouldn’t want to make any broad statements about Legat.”

The information they received back suggested that the practice of raising chickens either was not widely practiced and/or that few, if any, complaints about noise, cleanliness and predation could be substantiated.

Rob Dixon, a Riverside resident who has raised chickens in the past, argued for allowing the program and said concerns about noise and attracting predators such as coyotes are “overblown.”

Dixon said allowing chickens to be raised in Riverside was “in keeping with the promise of Riverside, which is green space, the connection to the environment, and using your property in a way that is satisfying.”

According to a draft version of the ordinance discussed by trustees on Nov. 17, the village’s pilot program would be limited to a maximum of 15 properties during the one-year trial and that if more than 15 residents express interest, the licenses would be awarded by a lottery.

The initial license would cost $100 and would have to be renewed annually, likely at a lower cost, and limits each property to between two and four hens (no roosters

would be allowed), which must be kept in a rear yard coop that is set back at least 15 feet from any property line and at least 30 feet from any occupied structure on adjacent properties.

An earlier draft of the ordinance suggested a 25-foot property line setback, but trustees agreed that such a restriction would make it impossible for many homeowners to raise chickens in their backyards.

Riverside’s village board has had backyard chickens on the table for discussion since March. In August, the village board voted 4 to 1 to create a similar pilot program allowing homeowners to keep bees in their backyards.

Garage burglaries Brookfield police responded to a residence in the 3000 block of Vernon Avenue on Nov. 15 after a resident called to report that during the overnight hours someone had burglarized his detached garage.

■

Entry was made through an unlocked service door. Missing from the garage were three items, including a Simpson power washer, a Powermate generator and a remote garage door opener. The remote was later found on the ground next to a garbage can in the alley.

■ A resident of the 3000 block of Vernon Avenue called police to report that her garage was burglarized, probably sometime after 8 p.m. on Nov. 15. The victim’s husband said he noticed the overhead garage door open on Nov. 16. The garage’s service door had been unlocked.

A snow blower was reported missing from the garage and about $12 in loose change was taken from the center console of an unlocked vehicle parked in the garage.

■ Riverside police responded to the 300 block of Northwood Road after a resident called to complain that someone had stolen a black and gray men’s Fuji mountain bike, valued at $500, from her unlocked garage someone between 7 p.m. on Nov. 13 and 4 p.m. on Nov. 15.

Man found dead on Grand Blvd.

Brookfield police responded to the 3500 block of Grand Boulevard on the night of Nov. 19 after a 42-year-old Brookfield man was found lying unresponsive at the foot of the front stairs to a residence.

About 8 p.m., police located William Lukas, a Brookfield resident who did not live at the residence. Paramedics transported Lukas to Loyola University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 8:31 p.m.

Police closed Grand Boulevard during their investigation, which including canvassing the area, and Cook County Sheriff ’s evidence technicians were also called to the scene.

The Cook County Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy to determine the cause of the man’s death, but stated that the cause and manner of death won’t be determined until the office receives results of additional tests.

But police don’t believe that Lukas was a victim of foul play.

“At this time we do not have any indication foul play is involved,” said Police Chief James Episcopo.

These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Nov. 14-20, 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.

COMFORT K. ROBINSON

DEJUYON M. JOHNICAN

MURDER CHARGES

‘Good man, model citizen’ from page 1 The three men appeared at the Maybrook courthouse for a preliminary hearing on Monday.

“These are evil men who will now answer to our justice system for their actions,” Episcopo said at a press conference Monday afternoon at Brookfield Village Hall.

According to police, the three men conspired to kill Smith, who was a witness in a criminal case involving Robinson, apparently to prevent him from testifying.

Smith was killed just after noon on Jan. 27 as he sat in his car outside his residence in the 3600 block of Forest Avenue. Earlier that morning, Robinson’s criminal case was set for a bench trial, and Smith was schedule to testify. However, Robinson’s attorney asked for a continuance, which was granted, and Smith did not testify.

The criminal case was related to a March 8, 2015, incident for which Robinson was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and being an armed habitual criminal. The disturbance was at a night club called The Shrine, 2109 S. Wabash Ave. in Chicago, where Smith was working as a contract security guard and intervened. Robinson was found to be in possession of a handgun and arrested.

Both Robinson and Smith left the courthouse on the morning of Jan. 28. As Smith drove home, he was followed, according to police. As Smith parked his car in front of his Brookfield home, Douglas allegedly pulled up alongside Smith in a blue hatchback vehicle and fired several rounds at point-blank range, killing him.

Police said Smith’s wife and 3-year-old son were inside the residence waiting to have lunch with Smith when they heard the gunshots. Smith’s wife ran outside to find Michael had been shot and called 911.

Police reported finding the subpoena for the Robinson court case in Smith’s pocket.

“Michael Smith was a good man, a model citizen and hardworking family man who was killed in the prime of his life,” Episcopo said. “My heart goes out to his family and friends for their tremendous loss.”

Brookfield police reported finding the blue hatchback vehicle in Chicago a day af-

ter the shooting. Police also reportedly recovered evidence showing that Robinson, Douglas and Johnican met at different locations both before and after the shooting.

Episcopo said Brookfield detectives initially worked on the case with the west suburban Major Case Assistance Team and in March requested the assistance of the FBI. Since that time, said Episcopo, FBI agents and Brookfield police have worked side by side collecting evidence. Brookfield police also were assisted by the DuPage County Felony Investigative Assistance Team, Chicago police and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

“Since the time of Michael’s murder, not a day has gone by that someone … from one of these agencies didn’t do something to bring us closer to solving this case,” Episcopo said.

Brookfield police were granted an arrest warrant for Douglas on Nov. 14 and took him into custody after a high-speed chase involving Chicago officers and FBI agents on Nov. 15 on Chicago’s South Side.

Police reported recovering a loaded .50-caliber handgun when Douglas was arrested. Police say that weapon was not involved in Smith’s shooting. Asked if police had recovered the murder weapon, Episcopo declined comment.

Johnican also was arrested on Nov. 15 without incident near his Cicero home.

Police obtained a warrant for Robinson’s arrest on Nov. 17 and took him into custody on the day he was scheduled to be released from Danville Correctional Center after serving nine months of an 18-month sentence for felony driving while revoked, a conviction in connection with a DUI arrest unrelated to the night club incident.

Robinson was sent to Danville just three weeks after Smith was killed. He was scheduled for release on Nov. 18. Robinson has prior convictions for robbery, drug offenses and weapons offenses.

Asked if police expected any more arrests related to Smith’s shooting, Episcopo stated, “The case is not closed. I can’t comment further.”

Episcopo said police have remained in close contact with Smith’s family, who told him they were praying for justice and closure.

“They were praying for us to stay safe as we worked on solving this case,” Episcopo said. “Well, I’m happy to say that I believe we accomplished both.”

Beverage tax hurts Cook County families, businesses

he shooting death of Brookfield resident Michael Smith stung for all kinds of reasons. He was by all accounts a devoted family man and gentle soul who was just doing his job when he intervened in a disturbance at a night club where he was working as a security guard. He was doing his civic and professional duty by testifying against the defendant, a man with a violent criminal past.

That Smith was killed to prevent him from testifying in court is insidious. That he was killed in front of his house, in broad daylight, with witnesses in the vicinity, was incredibly brazen and a shock to Brookfield residents.

But Brookfield police, with the help of other agencies from Cook and DuPage counties, as well as Chicago and the FBI, were able to carefully build their case against suspects they identified early on after finding a court subpoena on Smith’s person and locating the vehicle involved in the shooting just a day later.

Ten months is a long time, but police needed to make sure that the evidence they were able to collect was enough to convince both the state’s attorney to seek prosecution and a judge to issue warrants for arrest.

Within a day of getting those warrants, the suspects were in custody and will now stand trial for Smith’s death.

Of course, the suspects are presumed innocent, but we’re confident that police and prosecutors have built a solid case based on months of investigation. And Brookfield residents can be proud of a police department that’s able to solve such a violent, abhorrent crime.

A beverage tax was passed by the Cook County Board on Nov. 10 as a key element to fund the Cook County 2017 budget. This new tax would add one penny for every one ounce of a beverage drink which means an additional $2.88 for a 24-pack of beverage drinks.

I appreciate the fact that many Cook County constituents have paid close attention to Cook County’s 2017 budget process and specifically this tax proposal as hundreds contacted my office to express their opposition to this tax.

Contrary to most public headlines that call it just a “soda tax,” that couldn’t be further from the truth.

This massive and expansive tax includes a list of nearly 1,000 individual beverages including fruit juices, teas, coffees, energy and sports drinks, enhanced waters, sodas and diet sodas. This beverage tax goes too far by hitting our residents too hard in their pocketbooks, especially Chicago residents, and hurts our local businesses.

Fenwick got robbed

Charley Krebs, 59, died on Nov. 10, 2016 at his Riverside home after a battle with cancer.

Mr. Krebs was a music lover, a passionate White Sox fan, and an award-winning cartoonist.

A Cicero native, he was part of the first class to attend Morton College, received a merit scholarship, and served as editor of The Collegian, the school newsCHARLEY KREBS paper.

After college, he landed a job as a paste-up artist, and then parlayed that into a job as a cartoonist for Life Newspapers, where he did five cartoons a week for 30 years. Mr. Krebs received 17 state and national cartooning awards, including two state and two national first-prize designations.

He was also featured in Chicago Jazz Magazine, New City, Copley Newspapers and Patch.com, among other publications. Always cartooning on the side, Mr. Krebs spent 14 years as an art director at two international educational travel tour companies and was a staff illustrator for a major marketing/business company.

“I never realized how many different and creative applications there are for the art form of cartooning, and I’m grateful for the chance to find out,” he said. “I basically won the job lotto with a dream gig collaborating with brilliant people from all over the world.”

We don’t usually get exercised over bad calls by umps, refs and other sports officiators. Mistakes happen. Sometimes in key games.

But Friday night, Fenwick’s stellar football team — and the generations of Friar football fans long dead — got robbed, hosed, jobbed, knee-capped in what should have been the very final seconds of a game that would have sent Fenwick to the state finals for the first time ever.

Instead a fully incorrect call — not a subjective interpretation of a play but a straight-out blown rules call — gave the competition a bonus play, which it used to kick a field goal and drive the game into an overtime loss for the Friars.

And it is not just Fenwick coaches, team parents and our irate editor (admittedly a Fenwick alumnus) who see this as a monumental and enormously painful gaffe by officials. Late Friday night, the executive director of the IHSA issued a statement acknowledging the outright error, admitted the game should have ended in regulation with a Fenwick victory and offered an apology to the team.

What he could not do, under IHSA rules, is to overrule the call on the field. And that is just wrong. And now it’s the subject of a lawsuit in circuit court, putting a judge in an unenviable, no-win situation.

Where the spotlight ought to be is on the IHSA, which is hiding behind its ridiculous bylaws, which absolve them of any responsibility to right a wrong. Get it together, IHSA.

reasons. First, the tax purposely singles out a specific private sector industry and is too expansive and creates a revenue stream that goes far beyond the means it is intended to serve.

Second, there is still too much redundant and unnecessary spending and political clout jobs that could be cut from the 2017 budget before looking at additional taxes to fix budget shortfalls. Third, this tax will cause further damage to private sector jobs in exchange for protecting government patronage jobs. Fourth, it further places Cook County businesses at a competitive disadvantage against our neighboring counties and the state of Indiana when just a short commute to shop across the border means lost customers and lost revenue for Cook County.

Once again, Cook County government is committing itself to another horrible tax policy which will add more long term damage to our local economy.

OBITUARIES

Charley Krebs, 59 Award-winning cartoonist

His work has been widely exhibited, including a career retrospective in 2016 at the Riverside Arts Center and presentations at the Geneva Historic Society, the Aurora Public Arts Commission, and many other galleries, theatres, coffeehouses, libraries, festivals and music venues.

Mr. Krebs defined cool, and he lived in one of the coolest places in Riverside, a walk-up loft apartment above Higgins Glass on East Quincy Street. The place had a greenhouse and rooftop view of the community where Mr. Krebs could work and entertain his many friends.

He said that, “Cartooning does keep you young. You need to keep up on things. Your reference points have to be recognizable for readers of all ages. You have to maintain that sense of sarcasm and skepticism that a younger person has to keep the work and subject fresh. You want to keep that kind of edge.”

Mr. Krebs is survived by his mother, Geraldine A. (Elwarth) Krebs; his siblings, Jacqueline A. Krebs and Christopher J. (Stephanie Colbert) Krebs; and his nephew, Christopher P. Krebs. He was preceded in death by his father, Charles B. Krebs.

A memorial celebration of life service is being planned.

Lyons Township senior Connor Niego and sophomore Nolan Niego actually have been basketball teammates for a while.

“There’s one more in sixth grade (Jackson). If there’s an injury, he’ll CONNOR NIEGO jump in there,” said Connor Niego, Senior forward laughing.

The return of the Niegos is among the strengths for the Lions as they expect to improve significantly from last season’s 9-18 finish following their 2015 West Suburban Conference Silver Division title.

The 6-foot-8 Connor Niego, who recently signed with Holy

Cross, and 6-4 senior cousin Noah Niego enter their third varsity seasons.

Other returnees who played at least 20 games are seniors Eli Bright and Frank Cannistra and sophomores Tyrese Shines and Nolan Niego, LT’s first freshmen on varsity in recent memory.

“Nobody likes to lose games so (last season) was frustrating. I do think the guys learned and improved as the season went along,” LTHS coach Tom Sloan said. “We had a pretty successful summer, not that wins and losses really tell the story. I just felt like we were competitive. Practice has been very competitive when you go down the roster.”

More than two-thirds of last year’s scoring returns.

Connor Niego received all-conference honors after averaging a team-high 16.4 points and 8.5 rebounds per game with a team-best 36 blocked shots.

RBHS maintains winning ways with balance Powered by stars Bloom and Hoyd plus solid role players, Bulldogs optimistic about season

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

When the highly touted trio of Samantha Bloom, Lyndsey Hoyd and Dana Rettke started as freshmen in 2014, the Riverside-Brookfield High School girls rls basketball team looked set for several years.

For the most part, the resultss have matched the hype surrounding these players. In their first two seasons together, the Bulldogs gs went 5112. Last season, when the 6-foot-88 Rettke left the team to concentrate on volleyball, RBHS still produced a solid lid 20-11 campaign, highlighted by a 10-2 record in the Metro Suburban Conference. Rettke, ettke, one of the best high school volleyball all players in the country, will play at Wisconsin onsin next season.

For Bloom and Hoyd, who comprise mprise a terrific backcourt, time flies when you’ree having fun and winning games.

“It’s absolutely crazy how fast st everything has gone,” Bloom said. “Lyndsey and d I are seniors so it’s bittersweet.

“Losing Dana hurt us but it didn’t n’t stop us. We adjusted well and made the best out of the situation.”

In previous years with interiorr scoring threats like Rettke and Janae Dabney, the he Bulldogs had a very balanced offensive attack. ck. Now, RBHS

employs more of a spread offense with one player typically inside and the four others along the perimeter.

“You have to run with the personnel you have,” RBHS coach Dallas Till said. “I’m not the kind of coach who runs the exact same system regardless of our personnel. We don’t have a lot of size this season so we w have to adjust a bit.”

Following his theme for this girls basketball season, Lyons Township coach Paul Krick gave his players special wall clocks.

“All opportunity has a shelf life,” Krick said.

“Our time is now. We want to feel special in the moment and every day we come together.”

The Lions are gearing up for another strong effort after using teamwork to overcome key injuries last season. They finished 20-8 and captured their second straight West Suburban Conference Silver Division title and their first regional title since 2005 as a No. 6 sectional seed.

Three starters and six players return – seniors Claire Purcell, Camille Branch and Grace Thomas and juniors Sidney Bugaieski, Jenna Fink and Kaelan Lee. Purcell, Thomas and Lee are team captains. The 5-foot-11 Bugaieski was among LT’s three all-conference players last season.

“We’re really trying to use the momentum from last year to carry on to a good season,” Thomas said. “We really came together as a team and I think that’s why we got really far.

That’s one of our biggest aspects Courier. this year, coming together as a “We have a really deep team. team and playing team basketWe all have a lot of different ball.” aspects that we bring,” Purcell Bugaieski could be an even said. “Honestly, being a team and more dangerous shooting guard working together is the only way after being third on the Lions to get as far as we did last year.” last season in points (7.2 per The Lions graduated their game) with 16 threes and second other all-conference players – in assists (47) and steals (32).

“That’s our goal, to be playing our best basketball at the end of the season,” Krick said.

Fenwick stunned by Plainfield North in 7A semis Officials’ error on final play of fourth quarter robs Friars of 7A finals appearance

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

The Fenwick High School football team was on the verge of becoming the first in program history to make a state final.

That was until the officials spoiled the Friars’ dream season, incorrectly ruling on the final play in regulation of the Friars’ 1817 overtime loss to visiting Plainfield North Saturday in the Class 7A semifinals at Triton College.

In the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, Fenwick quarterback Jacob Keller (17for-30, 170 passing yards, TD) was called for an intentional grounding penalty on a fourth-and-15 deep inside Friars’ territory.

Per Rule 3-3-4 in the 2016 NFHS Football Rules Book, Keller’s throw should have been the last play of the game; however, the officials ruled that Plainfield North be allowed one untimed down from the Fenwick fiveyard line.

Their decision was wrong because a game can end on an offensive penalty like the intentional grounding called against Fenwick. Conversely, a game can’t end on a defensive penalty.

the Fenwick five-yard line, Plainfield North chose to attempt a game-tying field goal rather than go for the win.

The decision proved wise as Connor Peplow’s successful field goal knotted the game at 10-all heading into overtime.

In overtime, the Friars struck first when Conner Lillig (26 carries, 62 yards) scored on a 1-yard run and Connor Hendzel kicked the extra point to make the score 17-10.

Plainfield North responded with a touchdown and successful two-point conversion (both by running back Dillon McCarthy) to pull of an improbable 18-17 victory.

Although Plainfield North put more points on the scoreboard, the Friars won the game.

For the majority of the game, the Friars dominated defensively. Lorente Blakeney and Jason Ivery had clutch interceptions to quell a couple of Plainfield North drives and Fenwick senior linebacker Sean Moorman (11 tackles, 2 sacks) led a swarming defense.

Fenwick appeared to produce enough offense when Keller threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to senior Jack Henige with 6:10 left in the second quarter. Hendzel kicked the PAT give Fenwick a 7-0 lead. Hendzel added a 22-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, extending the lead to 10-0.

Those scores, coupled with the Friars’ incredible effort on defense, appeared like the blueprint to victory.

Fenwick missed a few other scoring chances in the first half when Keller was picked off by cornerback Rob Ostapkowicz in the end zone and JJ Frey recovered a fumble on a Keller-to-Lillig handoff at the

Fenwick players (left to right) Sean Heslin (#77), Daniel Kannin (#56), Austin Glazier (#73), Marco Torres (#68) and Sam Dahlstrom (#55) can’t believe Fenwick lost 18-17 in overtime to Plainfield North in the Class 7A state semifinals.

Plainfield North 10.

While the Friars made some costly mistakes on offense, the Tigers struggled even more. Plainfield North didn’t even even move the chains for a first down until 4:42 remained before halftime. Three-and-out offensive series were common for Plainfield North most of the night.

Persistence paid off though as running back Zach Nadle finally put the Tigers on the scoreboard via a 1-yard run with 26.2 seconds left in the third quarter to whittle their deficit to 10-7.

More importantly, Plainfield North seized momentum entering the fourth quarter.

Coupled with the Friars’ nightmarish ending in regulation, Plainfield North somehow emerged with its best win in program history.

The Tigers (11-2) will face East St. Louis (13-0) in the 7A championship game Saturday, Nov. 26 at 4 p.m. at Memorial Stadium on the University of Illinois campus.

With the loss, Fenwick finishes 11-2. The Friars had a remarkable season, highlighted by a Chicago Catholic League Green Division championship and semifinals appearance in the state playoffs (only third team in program history to achieve that milestone).

The Friars also defeated 2015 state champions Phillips and Montini, opened their new home stadium at Triton College and celebrated Keller and Mike O’Laughlin’s recognition as All-State players in Class 7A.
