D95 weighs funding options for new school

NEVER, NEVERLY LAND

Officials likely will seek to avoid surpassing debt limit

By BOB UPHUES Editor

If you live in Brookfield these days, the word referendum has gotten mighty familiar. And the reaction to it is also familiar.

“How much is this going to raise my taxes?”

With that in mind, Brookfield-LaGrange Park Elementary School District 95’s Board of Education is trying to figure out just how it might be able to soften the blow of constructing a new school building on the campus of S.E. Gross Middle School, which officials have initially estimated at a cost of $30 million.

District 96 offers to buy Hollywood playground land Community group will discuss offer at their Sept. meeting

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Last week, Riverside Elementary School District 96 has offered to buy land from a

Brookfield community organization as a way to build a new playground for younger students at Hollywood School.

District 96 offered $25,000 to the Hollywood Community Association (HCA) for

an approximately 4,725-square-foot strip of land just southeast of Hollywood School that is now owned by the HCA. The offer came after new District 96 Superintendent Martha Ryan-Toye and school

board member Rich Regan met with three HCA board members, including HCA board President Gonzo Schexnayder, on July 15.

The first apartment building to be constructed in Brookfield in many years could break ground early this fall.

On July 28, the Brookfield Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend approval of a final planned development for a nine-unit apartment building at 8934 Fairview Ave., reviving a plan that had been in limbo for more than a year.

The developers, Michael Gatto, of Oak Brook-based Grossdale Properties, and Scott Sanders of Brookfield-based BrightLeaf Homes, are still waiting to obtain financing for the project.

Gatto said he’s already chosen a lender, but the construction financing won’t move forward unless the Brookfield Village Board approves the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation.

The village board likely will first discuss the recommendation at its Aug. 22 committee of the whole meeting. The matter could be up for a vote as early as Sept. 12.

Once the project is approved, Gatto said construction would be able to start “ASAP.” The project recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission has been altered significantly since it received final approval by the village board back in May 2014.

One of the more notable changes was the addition of Sanders as a partner. A Brookfield resident and single-family home developer, Sanders’ work prominently features sustainable design.

This would be the first multi-unit project for Sanders, and his influence can be seen in the final design, which features energy-efficient materials, including a roof that will be able to support solar panels if there’s a desire to add them in the future.

The building’s final design is also more con-

ON DECK: The Brookfield Planning and Zoning Commision has recommended moving forward with this plan for a 9-unit apartment building at 8934 Fairview Ave. The Brookfield Village Board will consider the recommendation in the next month. temporary looking than the original, rather severe three-story brick design. A recessed central stair tower of charcoal gray brick is flanked on either side by three-story wings clad in a brick red cement lap siding with bands of lighter gray cement board panels marking the central entrance. Units will have balconies that feature metal railings and cedar detailing.

Another prominent change in the design, and one that planning commissioners insisted upon, was moving the building closer to the front property line. That eliminated a parking lot in front of the building and located all of the parking spaces behind the building.

The requirement also reduced the number of parking spaces available to tenants from 14 to nine, but because of its location near a commuter train station, planning commissioners said they were OK with the reduction in parking.

“This is the planning process and I think it’s worked extremely well in this instance,

especially bringing the building up front,” said Commissioner Patrick Benjamin. “By and large, I think we’re there.”

Benjamin, however, indicated that because the only parking lot was now in the rear of the building, the developer ought to work with the village to find a way to get the alley behind the apartment building paved.

Village Planner Emily Egan said that cost estimates put paving the east-west portion of the alley at about $40,000, not including design engineering and legal fees. Paving the alley is not a condition for approving the development.

After the meeting, Gatto said he would need more information about introducing the cost of alley paving into the project.

“We’d need to discuss what impact it has on the project in terms of valuation,” said Gatto, who estimated that paving the alley represented about 8 percent of the total cost of the building by itself. “It might be hard to do on the front end [of the construction process].

We definitely need to discuss it.”

D103 board members say meeting nixed for fundraiser Human resources director seeking county office

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Two members of the Lyons District 103 Board of Education are complaining that last week’s school board meeting was cancelled because a district administrator was holding a political fundraiser on the same evening.

Martin Stack, District 103’s human resources director, is the Democratic candidate for a seat on the three-member Cook County Board of Review, which hears property tax assessment appeals in Cook County.

Stack is challenging incumbent Republican Dan Patlak in the November election in the Board of Review’s 1st District.

Stack’s campaign hosted a $75-a-plate fundraiser at the Capri Banquets in Countryside on July 28, the evening of a regularly scheduled District 103 school board meeting.

On July 26, Charline Doody, the secretary to Superintendent Carol Baker, sent an email to all school board members saying that the meeting would be cancelled due to the lack of a quorum and rescheduled for Aug. 4.

“We cannot hold a meeting unless we have at least four members of the board attending, and we received notification on Monday that some of the board members were unable to attend,” Baker told the Landmark last week.

At that time, Baker told the Landmark that she did not know which board members couldn’t make the meeting but she would find out. But on Monday she didn’t return calls from the Landmark.

Five school board members -- Michael Bennett, Jorge Torres, Catherine Broderick, Kendra Pierce, and Colleen Shipbaugh – did not responded to emails from the Landmark asking them if they could have attended the board meeting and if they attended Stack’s fundraiser.

Stack said he wasn’t sure how many, if any, District 103 school board members attended his fundraiser.

“I don’t even know, I have no idea,” Stack said. “In fact I don’t think I even saw one.

There were quite a number of people there.”

Stack said that about 300 people attended the fundraiser which netted his campaign about $70,000.

Two school board members, Joanne Schaeffer and Sharon Anderson, the only members not aligned with Lyons Village President Christopher Getty, said they were able to attend the school board meeting and were upset it was cancelled.

“If there was a catastrophe, or something major going on I am completely understanding,” said Schaeffer, who has been a member of the District 103 Board of Education for the past 37 years. “There’s a blizzard, there’s a flood, there’s a fire, I’m completely understanding. But a political fundraiser and you give up your duty as a board member and cancel the meeting? That’s a first and I’ve been sitting here a long time.”

Anderson was also disturbed that the meeting was cancelled. She said she believes the fundraiser was the reason for postponing the meeting.

“They never told us specifically why it was cancelled other than there wouldn’t be a quorum,” Anderson said. “It’s a little too coincidental that five people couldn’t make it.”

Stack said that he did not believe that his fundraiser was the reason that the school board meeting was postponed.

“I don’t believe so at all, to tell you the truth,” Stack said. “It’s the middle of the summer; people go away.”

Baker told the Landmark last week that postponing the meeting for a week would have no negative consequences for the district.

“It really doesn’t make that much of a difference,” Baker said. “It’s only a week out so the bills that have to get paid still get paid on time, all of that is fine. We have some new staff that we’re approving. All of that information is in place, it’s just waiting for board approval. It really has no impact.”

But Baker’s reassurance didn’t satisfy Anderson.

“She’s probably right, it is just a week later, but that’s not the point,” Anderson said.

“The point is there was no meeting for July.

We still had employees who had some insurance questions, no meeting to address that.”

Stack, a lawyer and resident of Western Springs, was appointed to his $75,000-a-year human resources position late last year. Despite the 1st District being drawn to favor a

Riverside lowers hurdle for zoning variations Village president: Don’t want process to be ‘a roll of the dice’

By BOB UPHUES Editor

The village of Riverside has made it a bit easier for property owners to obtain zoning variations after voting to amend the standards that officials must consider when analyzing those requests.

Village trustees on July 21 voted unanimously to remove the three standards by which all zoning variation requests were considered and replace them with seven others, which, while greater in number, allow more flexibility in interpretation.

“More specific criteria are being addressed now,” said Village President Ben Sells in an interview in late July. “It’s an easier process for everybody. We didn’t want [variation requests] to be a roll of the dice for petitioners because it’s expensive.”

In the past, anyone seeking a variation had to convince the village’s Planning and Zoning Commission they met three standards.

Two of the standards — that the plight of the owner was due to unique circumstances and that granting a variation wouldn’t alter the essential character of the neighborhood — were relatively easy to determine.

The third — that the owner would “suf-

fer an undue hardship in the absence of ” a variation — was often very difficult to grant because “hardship” was defined in the statute as “a particular physical or other unusual condition of the specific property involved” and not “a mere inconvenience” arising from structures on the lot.

But village boards, which have final say on variations, would at times not hold themselves to the same standards in the statute, which stated simply that after receiving the findings of fact from the commission, the village board “may grant a variation.”

In recent years the Riverside Planning and Zoning Commission has continued to interpret the standards in the statute very strictly, but the village board sometimes viewed things less strictly. In some cases, it has led to resentment on the part of planning and zoning commissioners, who felt their work was simply being dismissed.

“Under the old language, there was this tension between the strict definition of ‘hardship’ and what I’d call a more progressive view,” Sells said. “I think what [the new standards] does gives more clear guidance.”

Paul Kucera, the chairman of the commission, said there needed to be a way to ensure that both the commission and village board

were judging variation requests by the same standards.

“Clearly something needed to be done,” Kucera said in an email to the Landmark.

“We thoughtfully crafted the ordinance revisions we proposed to the village board of trustees, and they accepted them. Hopefully now it will be easier for them to stay on the same page as us.”

The commission’s role, he said, was not to stand in the way of homeowners improving their properties.

The commission “wants to facilitate that, not stand in the way of it,” Kucera said.

At the same time, the commission has to be aware of the results of granting a variance.

“The Planning and Zoning Commission is always mindful of how our actions establish precedent,” Kucera said. “We don’t want to set a precedent for something that later can be used as a basis by another petitioner who may then feel entitled to a substantially similar request.

“So the Planning and Zoning Commission wants to facilitate improvements and investments in a manner that is consistent with the intent of the ordinance.”

In April, the village board directed the commission to review the standards for varia-

tions, and in May the commission proposed changes that were the subject of a public hearing in June.

What commissioners decided to do was remove the “hardship” hurdle for variances from the local zoning ordinance. And instead of allowing the village board to disregard the commission’s findings of fact, the new law requires the village board to find that all seven of the new standards for granting a variation have been satisfied.

In place of the “undue hardship” requirement, now commissioners and village trustees can determine whether “a particular hardship or practical difficulty” would result if a variance were not granted.

That “difficulty” can’t be a mere inconvenience or based on a desire for financial gain, and it still can’t be a difficulty created by the property owner. But it allows for officials to consider such things as whether not granting a variance would prevent a homeowner from restoring or re-establishing a desirable feature to a home or maintaining architectural integrity.

“The petitioner doesn’t get to decide what the particular difficulty is,” Sells said. “It’s not a self-fulfilling prophecy. But hopefully, it will give a clearer idea of what we’re paying attention to.”

New Brookfield business brings the beads

BIG WEEK

August 3-9

Inter International Clown Week Celebration

A

new business in Brookfield caught my eye as I was driving down Broadway Avenue recently. From what I could see from the street, Laura Atwood Studio Beads and Trading Company was intriguing and I knew it was a must-see.

Stepping into the shop located at 9142 Broadway Ave., I was amazed at all there was to see. First, the store, which had been gutted, had a semi-industrial appearance with walls displaying the natural brick and shelves displaying textiles, pillows, baskets, and jewelry from far-flung countries. One wall, which immediately caught my eye, was adorned with strands and strands of beads of all colors, each one prettier than the next.

There was much to look at and enjoy.

The business is owned by Laura Atwood, and the owning the business is something she says has been on her “bucket list,” after many years displaying her own jewelry designs at art shows and boutiques. A former Riverside resident, Atwood and her affinity toward art runs in the family. Her son, Justin, runs a guitar design and repair business just a block west on Broadway Avenue.

Having only been open for four weeks, Atwood is still getting word out about the business. Among her plans for drawing new people to the business is starting jewelrymaking classes two evenings a week. While the classes will be free, those attending LAURA ATWOOD the class will be asked to purchase their jewelry-making items ahead of time from the store.

There also will be classes geared towards children, but it’s also a perfect place to have a ladies night out.

Being one who enjoys jewelry and likes to think I am somewhat “crafty,” I fully intend to sign up for a class.

This may be the solution to what to give to all the females on my Christmas list.

Although she has a studio in Fox Lake and makes trips to Santa Fe, most of Atwood’s time will be spent in Brookfield living the dream.

Laura Atwood Studio Beads and Trading Company is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and is closed on Sunday and Monday. For more information call 312-952-1339.

Gift cards are available.

We’re excited about Big Week. These towns are full of great and awesome fun and finding a better way to highlight the best of the week is a fine thing. You could call these listings “curated.” That’s a trendy term in our business. Almost as big as “algorithm.” But I assure you there is not a single data point being “mined,” “calculated” or “boosted” in the creation of this feature. Nope. Just the collective experience of our editors who know a thing or two about these villages.

The addition of Big Week matches the subtraction from our pages of the mammoth calendar section that has run, decade after decade, toward the back of the Landmark — somewhere between the obituaries and sports.

For a complicated set of reasons, we’ve decided that the giant task of compiling hundreds of listings, designing those pages

P O L I C E

and putting them in print each week just wasn’t practical or all that useful in the current moment.

That’s what readers told us when we recently surveyed them. A small but — I’ll bet we’re about to find out — dedicated portion of our readers made use of the calendar. I know we’ll hear from the many arts groups and nonprofits who took satisfaction in keeping their efforts in our calendar.

Honestly, I think, the smaller but more prominent publicity in the print and the digital versions of Big Week will have more impact. So community theaters, foodie event planners, gala aficionados, and all manner of speaker organizers, worthy fundraisers and alcohol-infused music fests, keep sending your pitches to calendar@wjinc. com. Good art helps.

What readers told us was essential is more local news, more people, more letters and opinions. And that is what we will serve up as we move forward.

Thanks as always for reading the Landmark and never hesitate to let me hear from you. I’m at dhaley@wjinc.com or 708-613-3301.

Man banned from pool charged with indecency Forest Park police charged a 64-year-old Riverside man with misdemeanor public indecency and trespassing on July 25 after staff members at the Forest Park Aquatics Center, 7501 Harrison St., complained that he was exposing himself in the men’s locker room and appeared to be “aroused.”

The subject had left the pool by the time police arrived. They later arrested him at his Riverside home, where the subject denied wrongdoing. He posted bond and awaits an Aug. 9 court date.

According to the police report, staff at the pool reportedly had banned him from the property last year although they did not call police at the time. Last summer, an employee said he observed the offender with a GoPro camera.

The employee didn’t actually see the subject recording anyone with the camera, but the subject had the camera sitting on the changing bench and quickly put it away upon seeing the employee, according to the police report filed July 25.

The offender apparently showed up a few days before the July 25 incident but left the scene as an employee approached him. The employee at that time made a written report

that the subject had returned to the pool despite the ban in 2015.

On July 25, an employee reported seeing the subject take off his swim trunks and walk back and forth to the showers numerous times in the presence of children and that the subject appeared to be “sexually aroused.”

The subject reportedly told police he has a bladder condition that explains his frequent trips to the locker room and that he was allergic to chlorine, which forces him to wash off often because of the pain it causes.

Police said the subject had no previous arrest record.

Bike stolen from train platform A 55-year-old Brookfield man contacted police to report that someone had stolen his bicycle from the rack outside the Prairie Avenue train platform in the 8800 block of Brookfield Avenue.

According to the report, the victim locked the bike to the rack at 7 p.m. on July 28. When he went to retrieve the bike at 9 a.m. on July 30, his silver Schwinn mountain bike was no longer there. The bike was valued at $225.

SCHOOL FUNDING Shooting for 2017 vote from page 1 “A $30 million bond referendum, what it does to the tax rate of the local taxpayer is probably is not realistic in terms of what the increase would be,” said District 95 Superintendent Mark Kuzniewski in a recent interview with the Landmark.

According to Kuzniewski, if the district simply went out for that kind of bond issue, the owner of a $300,000 home in Brookfield would pay roughly $760 annually in additional property taxes.

“So the question is, how do you approach that $30 million or whatever that amount is in a doable manner, so that each party has some skin in the game as well?” Kuzniewski said.

At the school board’s committee of the whole meeting on July 21, school board members got an idea of just how they might be able to that during a presentation by financial advisor Elizabeth Hennessy of William Blair.

Aside from the problem of selling a $30 million lump sum bond issue to voters, District 95 has another problem. State law caps the school district’s debt capacity at about $15.6 million based on the equalized assessed value of property within the

its referendum-based bond issue to right around $10 million.

The impact of a $10 million referendum on the owner of a $300,000 home in Brookfield would be about $250 annually.

“I believe while it would be tight, it’s doable,” said Kuzniewski. “But there will have to be some combination [of funding sources].”

The alternative to a new building in the district, said Kuzniewski, was bigger class sizes or more mobile classroom units.

“If the answer is still no, then the community will have sent a message about what they want their schools to look like,” Kuzniewski said.

The school board ought to have a clearer picture of exactly what cost estimates are for a new building and renovations to existing buildings this month, Kuzniewski said. The board’s buildings and ground committee was supposed to have gotten preliminary costs and plans on July 26, but that meeting was canceled. It has not been rescheduled as of yet.

It’s also unclear exactly when the school board is going to roll out the plan to the community, but Kuzniewski said that process has to start soon.

“There’s going to have to dialogue started with the community one way or another by mid-August, beginning of September, because we’re going to have to come together with a referendum question and design by … December sometime,” Kuzniewski said.

D96 PLAYGROUND Simpler to own land from page 1 “We feel that the district owning that property would allow us to feel comfortable with the necessary development on the property as well as liability on the property,” Ryan-Toye told the Landmark on Monday.

Ryan-Toye said school children could use the area during the school day, adding it would be open to the community when school is not in session.

District 96 had hoped to build a playground for 3- to 5-year-olds this summer on land owned by the HCA near the existing playground, which is also on HCA land, but the organization refused unless the district guaranteed to replace the existing playground, which is designed for 5- to 12-year-olds by 2018.

The school board was unwilling to make that commitment until a new committee comprehensively analyzes playground needs at all five district schools this year.

In a July 27 letter to Schexnayder, RyanToye said that it would be simpler for the school district to own the land on which the playground sits.

“The district would very much like to develop the playground property including managing the student safety and liabil-

ity concerns,” Ryan-Toye ceiving Ryan-Toye’s letter, wrote in her letter, which Schexnayder said he would she provided to the Landpresent the offer as a topic mark after the newspaper of discussion at the comasked about it. “We feel it munity organization’s next would be in the best interboard meeting, which is est of the Brookfield comscheduled for Sept. 12. munity for District 96 to “The HCA Board’s primapurchase the ‘playground ry mission is to preserve land’ from the HCA.” the Hollywood House and In the letter, Ryan-Toye land as a resource for the offered for the district to community,” Schexnayder pay all of the HCA’s costs said in an email. “HowMARTHA RYANTOYE in a sale, including reasonever, out of respect for the District 96 Superintendent able attorney fees and title new superintendent and in insurance. the interest of serving the Ryan-Toye said that Disstudents of Hollywood Eltrict 96 would commit to ementary, we expect to disproviding a quality playcuss the offer letter in our ground suitable for early September board meeting. learners through fifthWe have shared that decigraders. sion with Superintendent In the letter, Ryan-Toye Ryan-Toye.” wrote that it has been difficult for the disRyan-Toye said the she understood the trict to commit to property improvements HCA representatives’ initial position, but when the district does not own the land. hoped that the HCA would reconsider District 96 school board member Rachel when presented with a formal offer.

“Let us own it, let us develop it and it’s still there for everybody to use,” RyanToye said.

The July 15 meeting apparently went much better than a similar meeting in April. At that meeting, one of the HCA board members walked out, disgusted by what he felt was the arrogant attitude of District 96 officials.

This meeting, the first between HCA representatives and Ryan-Toye, went much better.

“She seemed very interesting in finding a solution,” Schexnayder said. “It was a pleasant conversation.”

Whether the two sides can reach a deal is uncertain.

“We have a board meeting to discuss what our goals are and if the school board’s goals are in line with what we were hoping to accomplish,” Schexnayder said.

Membership of the Hollywood Citizens Association comprises those who live within the Hollywood neighborhood, which is bounded by Brookfield Zoo on the north, Salt Creek on the west and south and the Des Plaines River on the east and includes parts of Brookfield, Riverside and Lyons.

It owns and operates the Hollywood Community House, which in addition to hosting the organization’s events is rented to local groups and the public. The house sits on land directly south of Hollywood School. The playground, on HCA land, sits between the school and Hollywood House.

North Riverside brings back summer party

n an effort to bring back a large-scale summer event, North Riverside hosted its first-ever village block party on Saturday, July 30.

From 1 to 9 p.m., locals flocked to Desplaines Avenue to enjoy an afternoon and evening of eating, listening to music and socializing with neighbors.

The “Biggest Block Party on Desplaines” included events for all ages, from carnival games for kids to a classic car show and beer and wine tasting for adults. North Riverside’s newest restaurant, Miller’s Ale House, was on hand serving cheeseburgers, ribs and chicken wings.

Live music was provided by rock n’ roll band The Neverly Brothers, country music group StateLine Band and ‘70s and ‘80s band Dick Diamond and The Dusters.

Teresa Michalik, director of parks and recreation, said the block party idea was a response to resident demand for a summer fest. North Riverside, which for years hosted a large Fourth of July party, had not held such a large summer event for nearly 10 years.

“We needed to bring back a fest, especially since July 4 had kind of tapered off,” she said.

After advertising through Facebook and the marquee in front of the Village Commons building, Michalik said many residents were excited about a new village tradition.

“There’s been a buzz about it since the beginning,” she said. “We want to be the recreational hub for the local communities.”

Program Coordinator Bryant Rouleau said the event was a way to introduce new residents to North Riverside’s small community feel.

“Our town is becoming a younger town again, so it’s about getting the younger families out, getting them involved and helping them find out about North Riverside,” he said.

North Riverside resident Pricilia Runquist said she was happy to bring her husband and three children to the inaugural event.

“It seemed like something new and fun,” she said. “It’s nice to have all the families come together and enjoy the neighborhood.”

Longtime resident Rose Santoro was happy to enjoy the warm weather and camaraderie with neighbors.

“The village puts the effort into having events, and if people don’t take advantage of those opportunities, you miss out,” she said.

Opinion LETTERS

THE LANDMARK VIEW

A sensible proposal

T

he Riverside Elementary School District 96 Board of Education would really like to be able to build a playground that suits the needs of kids ranging in age from 3 to 12 at Hollywood School in Brookfield, which is where the district has its early childhood education program.

Right now there’s a playground at their disposal on land just south of the school parking lot. It’s designed for older kids, above the age of 5. The district wants to make it accessible for younger kids. The problem is that it doesn’t own the land and the owners of the land want a guarantee for when the playground will be built.

But the school district doesn’t want to commit to a particular plan until a committee studies the issue further. And, so, the school district and the property owner – which is the Hollywood Citizens Association – are at something of a standstill.

That’s fine. Different groups have different, legitimate agendas. We get that.

Now the school district has come forward with a proposal to buy the playground land and avoid the neighborhood spat. At first, the community organization balked at the offer. We’re not sure whether it was the general principle of selling off a valuable asset or the price offered, $25,000 plus closing costs and attorneys’ fees.

But, since the two sides met to discuss the offer in July, it appears that the Hollywood Citizens Association is at least up for putting the matter to its members. That’s the right thing to do.

We have no idea how all of this is going to turn out but, frankly, District 96’s pitch makes a lot of sense.

Hollywood School is really hemmed in. To the north, Riverside-Brookfield High School has built track-and-field facilities and to the south stands the Hollywood House.

Heck, the elementary school doesn’t even own the driveway to its parking lot.

We have no idea whether $25,000 is a fair offer on the property the school district wants to buy, but it makes perfect sense that the school ought to be able to control what gets built and when.

And, the school district has far more resources to maintain the playground and property well into the future.

Just a couple of years ago, the Hollywood Community Association was considering what to do with its nearly century-old building, which is expensive to maintain given the small percentage of Hollywood residents who belong to the association.

Perhaps any money obtained from selling the property can be set aside for capital expenditures related to the Hollywood House.

Meanwhile, the school district has offered to open the school playground to the public in the event the association sells the property to them. When you take a closer look, it really does appear to be the win-win situation the new school superintendent described.

We’d encourage the school district and community association to keep the lines of communication open regarding this plan, even if it doesn’t pan out when the organization’s members meet to discuss the matter in September.

RBHS track should be open to public Your editorial regarding tax paying residents being shutout of using the RB track is perfectly stated (“No good reason for RBHS track closure,” The Landmark View, July 27). The board and superintendent should heed your advice and immediately open the track to community residents. Without the tax dollars of residents RB would not exist.

The reasons the superintendent and board have given are bureaucratic and legal baloney. The lawsuit and construction has nothing to do with the track. Groups

and students have been using the track/football area for weeks if not months.

The company line is that these groups and students are supervised. Why couldn’t walkers/runners use the track at the same time? In the 30-plus years I have been using the track, I have run during all kinds of activities: band practice, cheerleader practice, soccer practice, football practice and other activities.

The policy is wrong and is punishing the very residents that support the school with their tax dollars. I implore the board and superintendent to revisit their current policy and open the track to tax paying residents immediately.

Republican, Patlak only won by 20,000 votes four years ago with 51.59 percent of the vote. Stack says that he believes he can win in what could be a very strong Democratic year in Cook County.

“Primary numbers were way up from the last election, Democratic numbers,” Stack said. “I think that’s doable in a presidential year.”

The 1st District covers most of suburban Cook County except for heavily Democratic areas in northern, southern and near western suburbs. No candidates ran for the post in the March Democratic primary, so Stack was selected to run in the general election by the Democratic township committeemen of the district.

“I’ve been involved in politics one way or the other since I was a kid, and I figured I’m 58 and I’ve sat on the sidelines, so why not jump in,” said Stack. “There was an opening and I decided to go for it.”

Stack apparently was the only applicant for the spot on the ballot.

“As far as I know, he was the only guy interested,” said State Rep. Michael Zalewski the Riverside Township Democratic Committeeman.

Stack will be outspent by Patlak, who had a little more than $460,000 in his campaign committee as of June 30. At that time Stack’s campaign committee had a balance of just under $4,000.

Stack’s campaign so far has received $4,000 in

campaign contributions from Odelson and Sterk, the politically connected law firm which represents both District 103 and the village of Lyons.

Mark Sterk made an additional $2,000 donation on July 28, according to the Illinois Board of Elections.

Also on July 28, Stack received a $5,000 donations from Bruce Liimatainen, a frequent contributor to Lyons Village President Christopher Getty, and $1,500 from Stars and Stripes, a printing company used for political mailings.

Stack’s campaign also received $985 in contributions from Citizens for Christopher Getty and another $985 from Getty’s local political organization, United Citizens Party.

“I know Chris, I think Chris is a great guy. He’s not the only person that’s supporting me though,” Stack said.

A Getty-backed slate of four candidates took over control of the District 103 school board in 2015 when Bennett, Broderick, Shipbaugh, and Torres were elected. Pierce, whose father-in-law works for the village of Lyons, was appointed to the school board in April to fill the vacancy created by the death of Mark Camasta.

Schaeffer has vocally complained about political interference in school district matters since the Getty aligned group took control and she expressed her displeasure with the decision to postpone the school board meeting in emails to other board members and the top district administrators.

“I don’t know how serious anybody takes being on school board when they opt to attend a political fundraiser instead of fulfilling their elected and sworn responsibility to school board, district, children and taxpayers,” Schaeffer wrote to fellow board members.

Riverside 11Us take third in state

First Riverside team to earn two straight state tourney appearances

By LAUREN RECCHIA

T

Contributing Reporter

he Riverside 10 and 11-year-olds All-Star Little League team made history this summer.

The tight-knit squad became the first in Riverside Little League history to win back-to-back district titles, earn consecutive Sub-State qualifications, and appear in two straight Illinois Little League State Tournaments.

Although the team’s bid for a state championship fell short with a 12-4 loss to Elmhurst, Riverside produced a few remarkable victories along the way at the state tournament in Pittsfield, Ill. Riverside won three of five games at the state tournament.

Trailing Paris 9-1 in the fourth inning of their most defining game, Riverside rallied for a 13-10 win in eight innings on July 25. With the score knotted at 9-9, Jacob Izaguirre came through in the clutch with double that scored Frankie Gazzolo, Luke Yachnin and Ryan O’Donoghue.

“We were hanging our heads and felt down when we were losing,” said Riverside’s Rex Dockendorf, “but we felt good about ourselves when we started putting runs together in the fifth inning. Eventually we just kept our heads up and tried to get on base like our coaches said. Once we tied the game, we were freaking out.

“We were really happy and felt really good. We got a ton of support from our fans. It was just really incredible.”

Dockendorf went 3-for4 with three runs scored and Ryan Novak finished 3-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Connor Chapulis pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing four runs and seven hits with four strikeouts.

When the slugfest between Riverside and Paris finally settled, the two hard-hitting teams combined for 23 runs and 22 hits (including 8 extrabase hits). Both bullpens were busy as seven pitchers saw action on the mound.

“We all worked together and never gave up,” Chapulis said. “We believed in ourselves and knew we could come back.”

In another notable game, Dockendorf tossed a no-hitter and struck out five in a 10-0 win against Pike City on July 23.

“My arm felt good,” Dockendorf said. “I didn’t throw my changeup one time, but I located the whole game and felt good.”

Third Row, Coaches: Craig Chapulis, Tom Dockendorf, Jeff Novak.

Novak (2-for-3, 2 runs scored) and Patrick Durkin (2-for-3, RBI) paced Riverside offensively.

Riverside secured passage to Pittsfield (261 miles away) by edging Western Springs 8-5 in district competition July 9.

Gazzolo was 2-for-3 with an RBI and Durkin drove home a pair of runs to pace the victors.

Dockendorf worked 5 2/3 innings to pick up the win.

He gave up two runs and six hits with four walks and five strikeouts.

“It’s fun to get downstate again and a great accomplishment,” Chapulis said. “It was big to win the district games to get down there.”

In Sub-Sectional play, Riverside won two of three games highlighted by a 25-0 rout of Alsip to finish second overall.

The team’s third-place finish in the state is a testament to the players’ teamwork and talent. Whether it’s playing together on the Riverside Little League team or the Rockets travel squad, an apparent chemistry has fueled the team’s continuous success.

“We’ve been playing so long together and we are just great friends,” Dockendorf said. “Whenever we do something good we pat each other on the back. When one of us makes an out we always say it’s ok. If someone pulls through with a big hit we just freak out because we’re so happy for them.”

Chapulis echoed Dockendorf ’s sentiments about the supportive nature among the players.

“I’ve been playing with most of my teammates since I was seven,” Chapulis said. “We’ve gone through tryouts for different teams and played on different teams. We’re all best friends now.”

The Riverside 10-11 players are Colin Cash, Connor Chapulis, Rex Dockendorf, Patrick Durkin, Caden Donnelly, Frankie Gazzolo, Ryan O’Donoghue, Liam Smith, Ryan Novak, Alex Posluzny, Jacob Izaguirre, Jake O’Brien and Luke Yachnin. Craig Chapulis managed the team, assisted by Tom Dockendorf and Jeff Novak.
