D97 ratifies new teacher contract 4-year deal had broad support among administration, union By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

A few significant changes are headed to Oak Park Elementary Schools District 97 this fall. The school day will be slightly longer for elementary school students, there will be two fewer institute days, new teachers will have the opportunity to access salary increases sooner in their careers, and all teachers will have more opportunities to serve in leadership roles, among a range of other changes. The changes are the result of the new teacher four-year contract that was ratified by the Oak Park Teachers Association on May 30 and unanimously approved by the District 97 school board on June 1. Around 83 percent of the OPTA members, which represents roughly 500 teachers in the district, voted in favor of ratification. During an interview on June 4, D97 board President Holly Spurlock said that the negotiations stretched for five months, with representatives from both sides meeting weekly to reach some consensus. “This was my first time negotiating,” Spurlock said. “We got to know the teachers and we formed one team with a unified goal of focusing on the vision, which is something that [D97 Superintendent Carol Kelley] has brought — really centered on the vision, centered on all learners, centered on developing the staff and centered on the community. I thought we were really aligned from day one.” See TEACHER CONTRACT on page 17

Oak Park mom turns mourning into music Poem by Alice Norris’ daughter, killed at 14, to be sung at June 10 Yo-Yo Ma concert By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

Alice Norris, a longtime Oak Park resident, has become an expert in the art of turning her mourning into something sublime. Her daughter, 14-yearold Rolanda LaKeisha Marshall, was killed in 1993 while she sat inside of a

fast food restaurant on the West Side, the accidental victim of a drive-by shooting. “Rolanda had something to offer this world,” Norris told a Chicago Tribune reporter around the time her daughter — a gifted student with a perfect attendance record and artistic flair – was killed. “It was like a beautiful life taken for abso-

lutely no reason. It wasn’t something she did. It is so senseless, so destructive.” Norris has emerged from that dark, chaotic period 25 years ago by attaching her daughter’s memory to purposeful pursuits. In 2014, she brought fabric See ALICE NORRIS on page 19

Bambi and the River Forest police The change in weather has brought several welcome visitors to the River Forest Police Department, said Police Chief James O’Shea, which isn’t always the case. Staff have been spotting deer daily, ranging from large to small. Allegedly, they come to the back of 400 Park Ave. to feed on plants and rest in the grassy areas. It’s positively calming. “Officers and other village employees welcome the peaceful viewing of nature,” O’Shea wrote in an email. The animals appear to be white-tailed deer, the most common species in the

state, which the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (INDR) has long worried are decreasing in number due to a viral disease. While Wednesday Journal does not wish to cause Bambi further suffering, a decline in the deer population is not always considered a bad thing. In 2009, the state legislature formed a task force to address the overpopulation of white-tailed deer, and Illinois typically ranks among the most popular states for deer hunting in the U.S. But not within the municipal boundaries of River Forest.

Mahoney meets Hamilton

Yen for the hospital board

The other day, we received brochures in the mail from Sullivan Auctioneers LLC in Hamilton, Illinois for a John Mahoney Estate Auction, taking place this Monday, June 11. Curious? We were too. Why would a small town in central Illinois be holding an estate auction for the late, and highly esteemed, actor who ended up calling Oak Park home? Well, the Sullivan name is a hint. Rita Sullivan was John’s sister and the reason, if memory serves, that John came to Illinois in the first place from his native England. The auctioneer is John’s nephew. According to the brochure, the auction features “personal items from the life and career of John Mahoney.” That includes memorabilia from his hit TV show Frasier (e.g. the Chihuly vase that was a fixture on the set), mission-style and Stickley furniture, and photos from his personal collection. There will be an open house this Sunday, June 10 from 12 to 5 p.m. to preview the items, and the auction begins at 10 a.m. on Monday. The auction site is located at 1066 E. US Highway 136 E in Hamilton. For more, call 844-8472161, email Sold@SullivanAuctioneers. com or visit www.SullivanAuctioneers. com.

Corrections In the May 16 issue of the Journal, we published an incorrect logo in a story about a new mental health app for students, which is being launched by local school districts. The correct logo and contact phone number to text a licensed mental health clinician is reproduced here. The initiative was implemented May 1 at OPRF High School and the District 97 and District 90 public schools. In our May 30 issue, we reported on the temporary relocation of some Oak Park Township services to a vacant storefront at 139 S. Oak Park Ave. The building is owned by individuals associated with Wednesday Journal and not directly by Wednesday Journal, Inc. We regret the errors.

he conducts, readying the group for the next performance. Primarily a volunteer orchestra, its members range from new assistant concertmaster Minoru Ueda from Japan to veterans who have been with the 87-year-old Symphony for more than 40 years. Hoover joined the Symphony four decades ago, playing the much-needed English Horn and oboe. In 2003, she became general manager, overseeing ticketing, social media, programs and other print materials, securing rehearsal and performance space, and “putting out fires.” She said teaching junior high and elementary school music for 35 years gave her the skills to handle this job. At last week’s rehearsal she busily moved chairs from Concordia’s band room to the chapel when she discovered the air conditioning was out in the room where they typically rehearse. Less than an hour later, the orchestra members were seated in the cool comfort of the chapel, warming up. Concordia’s chapel has been acoustically renovated and will not only be the venue for the next concert, but for the next season, too. For now, though, the focus is on the outdoors, i.e. nature, as the group readies to perform Dvorak’s In Nature’s Realm and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 ‘Pastoral,’ along with Flute Concertino in D Major by Cécile Chaminade, a female composer, performed by a high school student concertocompetition winner. “The Dvorak piece is one of my favorite overtures,” Friedman said. “It portrays the Czech countryside.

Oak Park Ave

s the concert season draws to a close for the Symphony of Oak Park & River Forest (S/OP&RF) with “Nature’s Realm” on Sunday at Concordia University Chicago, the orchestra has much to celebrate. The Illinois Council of Orchestras (ICO) named the group Community Orchestra of the Year; its general manager, Beth Hoover, Executive Director/General Manager of the Year, and the Cultural Leadership Award went to Music Director Jay Friedman. “This is a trifecta; I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that,” said ICO Vice President Greg Clemons, as he presented the awards on stage at Symphony Center, Chicago, during the Symphony’s April concert. When he gave the Community Orchestra of the Year Award, he said, “When others are looking at how to do it, we tell them to look at the Symphony of Oak Park & River Forest.” The 100-person Symphony went on to perform Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy and Orff ’s Carmina Burana. The terrace seating area surrounding the stage was filled, at times, with nearly 200 voices from Tower Chorale, Concordia University Choirs, Chicago State University Choir, Pro Musica Youth Chorus, and its own chorus. The result was worthy of the venue, where the Chicago Symphony Orchestra regularly performs, as well as other top-tier musicians. Leading the Symphony is Friedman, a man who could have retired years ago, but instead holds four jobs. Besides conducting the Symphony, he also leads the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, teaches trombone at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts (CCPA) and in private lessons, and is principal trombonist in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, a position he has held since 1965. When Friedman got word that he received the Cultural Leadership Award, he said he was surprised because he didn’t know the ICO did this. The award has not been bestowed since 2011 and has only been presented six other times. According to Clemons, Friedman was recognized for all his roles and his mentorship of musicians. Besides teaching at the CCPA, Friedman gives trombone lessons to Civic Orchestra members and other musicians of all ages and at all points in their musical careers. “I get people from all over the world,” he said. “I have a real desire to pass on what I know. Each generation should compile what they learn. It’s taken a long time. Now I want to pass that on.” At the regular Wednesday evening rehearsals for the Symphony of Oak Park & River Forest, Friedman passes on his wisdom as

D97 holds gains in contract

here is a new contract between Oak Park’s elementary schools and its teachers and professional staff. Let’s go straight to the dollars because dollars are important and the tax dollars to support the salaries are much on the minds of local taxpayers these days. But first the proviso that school district contracts are complex, feature multiple moving parts and variables, and are negotiated to accomplish a range of goals held by both the school board and its professional staff. That said, the new four-year contract increases compensation by an average of 2.5 percent annually. Over four years, that’s a point or two better on the cost side than the 2014 pact. Pretty good deal for edgy taxpayers. A fair deal for faculty. And a reflection that, while not an austerity plan, District 97 has come a long way from the days in the 1980s and into the current century when all-in raises would run 5-6 percent per year. Compound that. Four years ago, still stuck in the recession of our lives, D97 pounded through a contract that was fiscally tight and, educationally, decidedly innovative. The first time it went out to faculty for a vote it was roundly rejected. Second time out it won such narrow approval that neither the district nor the Oak Park Teachers Association union would clue us in on the final tally. This time out, with remarkably good feelings all around, the board’s two top leaders, Holly Spurlock and Jim O’Connor, happily shared that the contract was approved by 83 percent of union members and unanimously by the school board. A year ago, with contract negotiations on the horizon, I was worried the school board would go wobbly on the educational innovations it had won last time around. But I was wrong. The new contract actually improves, makes more real, some critical shifts in culture. These are not things that necessarily save money but by rethinking how the district allocates its cash to teachers, reinforces

what is most important to the district and its goals for equity and inclusion. Four years back, the district tossed over the expensive and obsolete “steps and lanes” system, an invisible annual pay increase that rewarded continued breathing and showing up on time. It’s still dead. What replaced it, a darned good raise for faculty and professional staff who completed the challenging National Board Certification program, is gradually taking root in the district. Also expanding thoughtfully under this contract is a fresh culture of teacher recognition and new career paths, which actively reward leadership by teachers. This is way beyond paying a stipend for coaching soccer. This is a whole new way of thinking about how to multiply the talent of top teachers by creating gradelevel, school-wide, and cross-district roles as master teachers, curriculum leaders, new projects guides, researchers, and parent workshops creators. This is critical. If D97 truly wants to succeed in educating every child, it is going to be by fostering an enthusiastic corps of teachers. Quickly, the new contract also adds an hour a week of classroom instruction, cuts out two of six Institute Days (parents rejoice), and by 2020 kills off those infuriating salary spikes for retiring teachers that have been jacking up pension costs. Fair warning there is a time-limited cash tradeoff for this in the contract. It also caps the ridiculous post-retirement health insurance payments that teachers, already retiring early, can use for up to four years or until they reach Medicare. Thank you for infuriating me just a little less. Meanwhile, across town at OPRF, faculty contract negotiations continue without an imminent pact. Four years back, that cash-rich district signed a deal that was too generous and without educational oomph. Again this year, D200 is in the unenviable position of negotiating a contract with $100 million sitting in the vault. We’ll see how that goes.

Plan to narrow a portion of Madison still in the mix By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

Plans to bend a portion of Madison Street near Oak Park Avenue was declared dead in April by Oak Park Mayor Anan Abu-Taleb, but the village is still considering narrowing the street to two lanes from Oak Park Avenue to South East Avenue. Trustees discussed the Madison Street development plan at their meeting on June 6, where Village Manager Cara Pavlicek explained that the village has reissued a request for proposals (RFP) from developers. The new RFP comes after a proposal by Jupiter Development to bend a portion of the roadway to accommodate a large retail business – likely a grocery store -- fell through. That plan never materialized because the developer could not secure a large anchor tenant, but the so-called “road diet” is

still in the mix. Abu-Taleb reminded trustees that the village hired consultants to develop plans with and without the bend and lane restrictions, largely because the clock is ticking on the village’s ability to use funds from the Madison Street Tax Increment Finance District to help develop the project. The TIF district expires at the end of the year. The plan will focus largely on the village-owned parking lot at the northeast corner of Oak Park Avenue and Madison Street. Jupiter has revealed it will submit a new proposal, which is expected to include a large mixed-use development spanning Oak Park Avenue to Wesley Avenue on the north side of Madison Street as well as property on the south side of the street. The project also includes repaving Madison Street from Austin Boulevard to Home Avenue, said Public Works Director John Wielebnicki. He noted that would include bike lanes stretching the entire span of the repaving project. CONTACT: tim@oakpark.com

River Forest threatens railroad to clean up its act

Construction residue could lead to fines for Union Pacific By NONA TEPPER Staff Reporter

As construction chugs along the Union Pacific railroad tracks through River Forest, residents are complaining about the garbage and debris that have fallen to the ground, particularly near Lake Street. At a village board meeting on May 29, trustees agreed to talk with the Omaha, Nebraska-based firm about local laws governing maintenance, noise and upkeep of property. If Union Pacific fails to comply with River Forest’s standards, trustees unanimously agreed to seek legal action against the railroad. “Union Pacific owes [residents] some action to clean up their property. Whatever we need to do within our legal rights and good neighborly rights, we should impose that immediately because it’s long overdue,” Village President Cathy Adduci said at the meeting. As part of the construction project, Union Pacific crews have removed trees, shrubs and bushes along the line, and residents near the tracks have complained about de-

bris and other garbage left behind, officials said. Although federal laws govern most railroad operations, pre-empting local laws regarding speed and similar concerns, Village Attorney Greg Smith said River Forest could hold the railroad liable for maintenance, since cleaning up its tracks doesn’t interfere with Union Pacific’s operations or interstate commerce. “River Forest has a high property maintenance standard, obviously, for all its [property] owners and you can hold the railroads to that standard as well,” Smith said, noting that the village has already talked to Union Pacific about trains idling as crews work on their tracks in River Forest and further west, and that the firm has paid tens of thousands of dollars in agreed-upon fines because they’ve recognized they haven’t always been a great neighbor. Village Administrator Eric Palm said railroad officials have agreed to sit down with residents. “Union Pacific has always said they want to be a good neighbor so we’re going to take them up on their offer,” he said. If Union Pacific is unable to meet local standards regarding noise and property maintenance, the village could issue an or-

some of this work; it’s been years and we still have walls crumbling. It’s like we’re in some other country; it’s crazy,” Adduci said. CONTACT: ntepper@wjinc.com

Recent OPRF grad molds pottery business Shop on Oak Park Avenue features the work of young adults

See what all the buzz is about.

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

A new business is taking shape in Oak Park and putting to work young artisans who have recently graduated from Oak Park and River Forest High School. GP Tetrev Pottery opens on June 1 at 159 S. Oak Park Ave., but future patrons are already asking questions of owner Gabe Tetrev. That’s because Tetrev, 20, has placed his independent artists in the window of his shop, giving the public a sneak peek at the ceramic creations that are beginning to populate the store’s shelves. “The first thing everyone comes in and asks is, ‘Are there going to be classes,’” he said. Tetrev said he might do classes in the future, but for now it’s a business for selling pottery. Those emerging potters are all in their late teens and former classmates of Tetrev. He said the store will feature the work of five up-and-coming potters – John Cundari, John Beck, Annabel Huber, Catherine Cho and Jack Valenti. Tetrev told Wednesday Journal that his shop will initially offer plates, cups, bowls, vases and other tableware. It also will make available works on commission. Most items at the store run around $20, Tetrev said, noting that the pieces are going to be “much cheaper than an art gallery.” He’s offering the works at a lower price, so patrons will use it, he said. “If you price something out for somebody, then they’re not going to want to use it because it’s expensive,” he said. “This is the nice stuff, but affordable.” Tetrev said he’s been developing his craft since he took his first pottery class at the Oak Park-based Terra Incognito, 246 Chica-

go Ave., where he learned from local potter Mike Strumbas. He continued learning the art of pottery through high school with his art teacher at OPRF, Pennie Ebsen, and was a member of the Wheel Throwing Club. Tetrev said in a press release that he also was inspired by his father, Noel Tetrev, a Chicago-based carpenter, now retired, who

specialized in cabinets and furniture. “My dad brought beautiful handmade work into the world and was sought out by architects for unusual and challenging commissions throughout his career,” Tetrev said. “I’d like to do the same working with chefs and other creative people interested in collaboration.” The shop is open Thursday and Friday from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. More information is available on the web at www.gptetrev.com.

Digital Bookmobile wheels in to River Forest

The Digital Bookmobile will roll in to River Forest on June 12, and bring a suite of electronics and know-how to advertise the River Forest Public Library’s digital offerings. Located in a 42-foot long “toterhome,” the bookmobile will hold various devices —including iPhones, iPads, Androids and more — the library patrons can try out and access the approximately 40,000 eBooks and audiobooks River Forest houses online. Library and bookmobile staff will be on hand to give tutorials on how library card holders can check out electronic resources. The event is open to those of all ages from all nearby communities.

“The Overdrive Digital Bookmobile visit is a wonderful opportunity for us to educate the community about using the digital resources we have available,” Sue Quinn, River Forest Library Director said in a statement. “While many people still profess their

allegiance to holding a physical book, eBooks don’t negate print.” Started in Central Park, New York in 2008, the Digital Bookmobile has since traveled more than 175,000 miles for 869 events. More than 218,000 library lovers have learned how to access local eBooks and audio books from the Digital Bookmobile. In River Forest, the Digital Bookmobile will park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 12 in the Roosevelt Middle School parking lot next to the library, 7560 Oak Ave. To check out digital books and more, visit www.riverforestlibrary.org.

Courageous rebellion

Cupcake merchant takes her food truck case to Illinois’ highest court By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

When Laura Pekarik launched her business, Courageous Cupcakes, in 2011, she had no idea how much courage it would take. She started with a single food truck – she says there were about six others rolling through the streets of Chicago at the time – and it was not uncommon for brick-and-mortar restaurant owners to call the cops on her. “We were pioneers of the industry,” she said in a recent interview with Wednesday Journal. “We would develop little areas like the Aon Center, where people were at and they wanted to go and eat, and it was kind of far for other people to go there. “We would band together in park areas until, you know, the cops came and said, ‘You are creating a hazard to public health, and you need to leave here.’” About a year later, the city of Chicago passed an ordinance requiring food trucks to install GPS tracking devices at their own expense, so the competition – or anyone else – could see the history of their routes. The ordinance also prevented the mobile restaurants from parking at any location for more than two hours and required them to stay at least 200 feet away from any business that sells food – even convenience stores. The food truck owners also faced fines of up to $2,000 for violating the 200-foot rule. Pekarik, who opened her second brick-and-mortar store,

Courageous Bakery, 736 Lake St., about a year ago in Oak Park – her first was in Elmhurst in 2012 – filed a lawsuit against the city, arguing that the tracking devices violate her constitutional right against unreasonable searches and the 200-foot rule favors brick-and-mortar operations over those on four wheels. The city has won in two court battles, so far, but the case will soon go before the Illinois Supreme Court. Bill McCaffrey, a spokesman for the city’s Department of Law, declined to talk with a reporter about the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the case, but he issued this statement via email: “While we cannot comment on the pending litigation, Chicago’s food truck ordinance has already withstood the scrutiny of two courts. More importantly, the regulations strike the right balance between the interests of food trucks and restaurants and create a healthy environment in which both can flourish.” Robert Frommer, an attorney for the Institute of Justice, who is representing Pekarik in the case, said the city regulations have had a crippling effect on the food truck industry. He noted that the case originally was brought by Pekarik and Casper and Greg Burke, owners of the Schnitzel King food truck. “One of my original plaintiffs in the case … eventually went out of business,” he said. He said the 200-foot rule precludes food trucks from roughly 97 percent of the downtown Chicago area. “Politically connected businesses should not be able to use the government to shut out the competition and restrict consumers’ choices,” Frommer, who heads the institute’s National Street Vending Initiative, said in a press release. “The Illinois Supreme Court has an opportunity to strike down protectionism and stand up for the freedom of food

HEADED TO COURT: Courageous Bakery’s food truck “Little Green” parked outside Chicago Zine Fest on May 18. truck owners to earn a living.” Frommer said in a telephone interview that the issue is all about competition. “When you let competition work, you will see a flourishing food truck industry and a flourishing restaurant industry,” he said. Frommer said he believes the case will likely be heard by the Supreme Court near the end of the year or sometime in 2019. He said he’s represented food truck vendors across the country where onerous ordinances have effectively shut out the competition. “If you want to attract more customers, then step up your game,” he said. “You shouldn’t be going to city hall to outlaw the competition.” CONTACT: tim@oakpark.com

Developing a Bigger Pie

“T

By CATHY YEN Executive Director

hat caye is a private island. Norwegian Cruise Lines purchased it to create their own exclusive port for their cruise ship passengers,” our tour guide said with contempt. It seems Belize wrestles with many of the same development debates I was hoping to escape for a few days as my family vacationed in this beautiful country on the coast of Central America. Desirable places attract increasing numbers of people. But more people requires more development to accommodate them. Supply and demand economics mean that as available supply dwindles, demand drives up cost and spurs development. Development and cost often have an uneasy relationship with the home team, as both inevitably impact the area.

How? Well that’s the question we face here as well. Viewed simplistically, my tour guide’s statement seemed ironic, as our small boat’s captain clearly earns his living from tourism even as he scoffs at a large investment from a leader in the tourism industry. Yet, we vigorously nodded our heads in agreement, even as we enjoyed our privileged vacation. How quickly we want to close the door behind us rather than leave it open for others to come through and share these opportunities. Belize has its beautiful coast, coral reef, Mayan ruins, mountains and jungle. We have our schools, housing stock and access to Chicago. These attractions will bring more people. Without development, the cost will go up such that all but the very wealthy can afford what is already here. However, development to increase density and make space for more people threatens amenities, culture, character and community when not done thoughtfully.

That caye that the cruise line purchased? The locals in the southern part of the country consider it a loss, but it alleviated crowding at ports in the north. And, after outcry from environmentalist activists, the project caused people to get more involved in government development activities, including zoning, permitting and environmental stewardship. The west side of Norwegian Cruise Line’s caye is now a manatee preserve, limiting boat traffic, noise and pollution while protecting this endangered species. An improvement. Development anywhere challenges us to increase the size of our pie without changing its flavor.

HUSKIES

Memorable season from page 52 Derkowski took it to a new level. Not only did the precocious freshman dominate in the pitcher’s circle - allowing only two hits while striking out 13 batters, her three-run homer proved to be the decisive blow as York defeated OPRF 6-1 to end the Huskies’ bid for three straight state championships. Derkowski held one of the most powerful offenses in the history of Illinois softball. The Huskies slugged a program-record 62 home runs in 26 games during the regular season. “That game we beat OPRF earlier (9-8 win) was crazy. I was feeling sick that day, I was just there,” Derkowski said of giving up the eight runs. “But it was good for us to come back against them. I think that gave us a lot of confidence.” “It feels terrific to beat OPRF,” added York coach Elizabeth Munn. “We had a plan against them and it worked.” The game was scoreless for the first three innings as Derkowski and OPRF junior Taylor Divello matched zeroes. After being retired in order during the first inning, the Huskies managed to put two runners on base in each of the next two frames thanks to three walks and a hit-by-pitch, but couldn’t score. With one out in the top of the fourth, Olivia Glass recorded OPRF’s first hit with a single. After Maddie Grant followed with another single, Maeve Ryan advanced the baserunners via a sacrifice bunt. A walk to Carli Tucci loaded the bases. With Annie Deamer-Nagle at the plate, Glass scored on a wild pitch by Derkowski. Later in the same at-bat, Derkowski tossed another wild pitch, but the ball ricocheted off the backstop so quickly that York catcher Madison Collins was able to retrieve it and toss it to Derkowski to tag out Grant at the plate. “That was a big out for us,” Derkowski said. “It ended their biggest threat.” In the bottom of the fourth, Kyra Kroll and Andrea Meagher singled for the Dukes. With two outs, Derkowski greatly helped her cause by blasting a three-run homer to left for a 3-1 lead “There wasn’t much thinking going on,” Derkowski said. “I just knew I needed to get a base hit and help my team.” In the fifth, the Dukes (27-12-1) tacked on three more runs to put the game away. Jane Moran led off with a double and Collins drew a walk. Kroll doubled to drive in Moran and end Divello’s day. OPRF freshman Cassie Metzger entered and Isabel Smith performed a successful safety squeeze bunt to bring home Johanna Moyer (designated runner for Collins).Then Meagher drove in Kroll with a single to increase the York lead to 6-1. Derkowski, who has made an oral commitment to Michigan, allowed the Huskies only one baserunner the final three innings (one-out walk to Ryan in the top of the seventh).

She gave up some walks early but she got out of jams. She’s a fierce competitor.” Whether it was her fastball or changeup, she kept OPRF off-balance as a pair of singles by Glass and Grant in the fourth inning turned out to be the Huskies’ lone hits. “OPRF is a really good hitting team,” Derkowski said. “As long as we have a variety of pitches, we can keep them offbalance and that helps us a lot.” OPRF coach Mel Kolbusz knew the Dukes’ prized freshman could be problematic. “We knew (Derkowski) was a good pitcher,” Kolbusz said. “She was on her game today and shut us down.” Divello allowed six runs in four-plus innings for OPRF. She gave up seven hits and walked two while striking out three. Metzger allowed one hit during her two innings of work. “We gave it a good effort today,” Kolbusz said. “We just ran up against a really hot pitcher. York played the better game today and won. Congratulations to them.” Despite the loss that ended OPRF’s quest for a three-peat, Kolbusz already has countless memories of the Huskies’ historic run. “Any time I get to coach outstanding young ladies like this group, it’s a pleasure and a privilege,” he said. “The last few years have been awesome. In 2015, we finished third in the state, first in 2016 and 2017. We were hoping for the three-peat this year, but sometimes things just don’t go your way. Today just wasn’t our day.” OPRF loses six seniors to graduation, including starters Deamer-Nagle, Glass and Maeve Nelson. “They’re just outstanding ladies,” said Kolbusz of his seniors. “The seniors that don’t play as much as the starters, they’re still out there working hard all the time.

They’ve done everything we’ve asked them to do. We’re going to miss them a lot.” Girardot added, “We’re really going to miss our seniors and the experience they brought to our team. They taught us to never give up and we always have a shot at winning any game when we work as a team.” The good news for Huskies fans is that several starters will be back next season, including Jones, Girardot, Grant, Ryan, Nellie Kamenitsa-Hale and Carli Tucci. Divello, Metzger, and Zoe Prouty return as well to comprise the pitching staff. In addition, the OPRF freshman team finished with a stellar 19-1 record so talent remains in the pipeline. “We’ve got enough back to be good again,” Kolbusz said. “We’ve also got our whole pitching staff back. That’s something we can build on. Hopefully, everyone is going to get to play more and get better. We’ll see what we can do next year.”

OPRF volleyball out in state quarters Huskies end standout season with 28 wins, deep postseason run By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

Although the Oak Park and River Forest High School boys volleyball team fell three wins shy of a state title, the Huskies are positioned well for the future. Next year offers an opportunity to build off the momentum of two highly successful seasons. “I think our goal was just to be better than last year, which we were this season,” OPRF senior Jack Valenti said. “We had a better record playing against better teams this season. I think everyone knows it’s going to be the same goal next year. With the group of juniors on this team, I have no doubt it will happen.” In the state quarterfinals at Hoffman Estates High School on Friday, OPRF lost to eventual state champion Lincoln-Way East 25-22, 25-20. Tied at 5-5 in the first set against Lincoln-Way East, the Huskies scored four of the next five points to take a 10-6 lead. OPRF’s spurt included two kills from junior outside hitter Kyle Rasmussen assisted by junior setter Sean Califf, a kill by right side junior Quinton Kitzman and some errors by the Griffins. Later in the set, Kitzman had another kill off a Califf assist to knot the score at 19-all. However, Lincoln-Way East went on a 6-3 run the rest of the way to claim a tight opening set that included 10 tie scores. The Griffins established a 7-2 lead in the second set and never looked back en route to a 25-20 score and

sweep of OPRF. Rasmussen led OPRF with nine kills and Kitzman had five kills and two digs. Califf dished out 17 assists to go with six digs. “The match against Lincoln-Way East was a hard pull for us in the first round,” Valenti said. “We knew we all could take them if we played well, and we did compete. It’s just a shame we couldn’t move on to the semifinals.” Despite the season-ending loss to Lincoln-Way East, the Huskies had another banner season under veteran coach Don August. OPRF (28-8) advanced to the state finals tournament for the second season in a row. The Huskies excelled in all facets of the game this spring. A group of outstanding juniors led the team, including Lucas Schattauer (team-high 236 kills, 114 digs), Rasmussen (214 kills, 108 digs, 33 aces), Kitzman (186 kills, 54 blocks), Califf (706 assists, 126 digs), and Mike Perla (214 digs). “This season feels beyond successful for us,” Califf said. “Even coming up short in the end, I feel as if we made accomplishments even we weren’t expecting. We developed and struck through it all together.” The future looks promising considering OPRF returns 9 of 14 varsity players next season and only loses one starter Valenti (76 kills, 81 blocks) to graduation. “Next season is going to be an amazing season,” Califf said. “I think we all will have a few more tricks up our sleeve to catch teams off their feet.”

Hoops du Jour at RBHS Summer Shootout Huskies, Friars add local flavor to high-profile tourney

OPRF guard Dashon Enoch showcased his skills at the Riverside-Brookfield Summer Shootout.

The 16th Annual Riverside-Brookfield Summer Shootout is one of the premier boys high school basketball events in Illinois. The two-day tournament showcases several of the best teams and players in the Chicago area, along with occasional out-of-state squads like perennial powerhouse St. Louis Vashon. Top teams at this year’s event included Chicago Public Schools’ Simeon, Whitney Young, Morgan Park, Bogan and Curie. There was no shortage of elite players either, with West Aurora’s Marquese Walker, Young’s Tyler Beard and Uplift’s Markese Jacobs headlining an impressive list of future college players. “[Riverside-Brookfield head coach] Mike Reingruber runs a first-class tournament and has the best field of teams in the Midwest,” OPRF coach Matt Maloney said. “This is an early barometer for our squad. It gives us an opportunity to assess what we need to build, polish and refine throughout June.” One very notable player was missing from the competition. Junior D.J. Steward, a consensus top 50 player in the

class of 2020, recently left Fenwick. The Friars competed at the shootout without Steward and Damari Nixon (another talented junior), who are transferring out of Fenwick. Both players have not named the high school they’ll be attending in the fall While the loss of Steward and Nixon hurts the Friars’ outlook for next season, new head coach Staunton Peck used the shootout to gauge the progress of the team’s other notable returners and new additions on the varsity. The same approach applied to Maloney. “We evaluate what we need to teach both from a team perspective and an individual one,” Maloney said. “We are not too concerned about the outcome at this stage, but want to figure out how we can improve in the month of June. “We were pleased that we went 3-0 in our pool with wins over Uplift, Andrew and Loyola, but we lost a tight one to Marian Catholic who played for the state title last season.” In the second day of competition, Fenwick lost to St. Rita 67-48 in the championship game of the fourth-place bracket. The Friars beat Joliet West 39-

37 and St. Joseph 59-45 in earlier games on Sunday. Overall, Fenwick finished 3-3 at the event. Fenwick varsity returners Solomon Oraegbu, Lucas Kolovitz and Hopkins will take on increased roles next season, considering the departures of Steward, Nixon and a solid senior class. Several Huskies showcased their skills at RBHS. OPRF combo guard Dashon Enoch scored a personal-best 25 points against Uplift. He also played excellent defense against Kansas-bound Markese Jacobs. Charlie Hoehne scored a team-high 18 points against Marian Catholic and blocked seven shots against Uplift. Chase Robinson and Anthony Roberts contributed for the Huskies as well. “Chase Robinson continued to show why he and Dashon will make one of the best backcourt tandems in the state next year,” Maloney said. “Anthony Roberts continued his ability to score in a variety of ways.” Maloney mentioned Justin Cross, Josh Smith, Kyren Gardner and Isaiah Barnes as promising newcomers who will provide OPRF with considerable depth.

Hoops stars leaving Fenwick Junior guards D.J. Steward, Damari Nixon will attend new school next year By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

Fenwick High School basketball standouts D.J. Steward and Damari Nixon didn’t play in this weekend’s highly regarded Riverside-Brookfield Summer Shootout. That’s because both players have decided to leave Fenwick to attend another school. Each player is reportedly undecided as to where they will transfer at the moment. The Friars certainly will miss the two star guards as Staunton Peck takes over as head coach next season after Rick Malnati’s resignation this spring. Their departures, coupled with the graduation of key players like AJ Nixon, Michael O’Laughlin and Billy Bruce leaves the varsity lineup thin. Top varsity returners Bryce Hopkins, Solomon Oraegbu and Lucas Kolovitz will play increased roles next winter. The 6-foot-2 Steward is a Top 50 recruit nationally in the class of 2020. He already has scholarship offers from DePaul, Illinois, Illinois State, Florida and Georgia Tech. He averaged 18.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3 as-

sists and 2 steals per game last season. He also shot the ball very well at 54 percent on field goals, 41 percent on 3-pointers and 82 percent on free throws. Steward made the first team at the Proviso West Holiday Tournament and led the Friars to an undefeated conference run as the Chicago Catholic League Blue Player of the Year. Steward surpassed hyped expectations midway through his freshman season. His breakout performance occurred at the aforementioned Proviso West tourney. At the end of the season, he shot a perfect game in a 69-67 overtime loss to Morgan Park in the Class 3A state final, going 10-for-10 from the field (including a pair of 3-pointers) and 2-for-2 at the free throw line to finish with a game-high 26 points. He also had seven rebounds and four steals in one of the best performances by a freshman in state finals history. The Friars finished 30-5 with a Chicago Catholic League title in 2017. Nixon, a fellow freshman with Steward that year, scored eight points in the state final and played a key role on the best team in program history.

Fenwick guards Damari Nixon (#4) and D.J. Steward (#21) are leaving Fenwick to attend a different high school next year. “These last 3-4 years have been special because now the school is getting recognition for all the hard work this group and the guys before us put in,” Nixon said after the 2017 state final. “It shows that all of our hard is paying off because of all the success we’ve had these past years. “Fenwick has always been known for being an excellent academic school, but now we are showing that we can compete with

some of the best basketball teams in the state.” As an extremely quick combo guard who shoots left-handed, the 6-foot-1 Nixon breaks down defenses with his driving ability. He is a very disruptive on-ball defender as well. A nephew of former Farragut Academy star Ronnie Fields, Nixon has drawn recruiting interest from Army West Point, Wright State, and Kent State among other colleges.

oming off an exciting 15-14 sectional semifinals win over Maine South capped by a walkoff grand slam by Mary Jones, the Oak Park and River Forest High School softball team entered Saturday’s 4A Niles West Sectional title game against York on a high note. “Mary Jones crushed a grand slam to keep us alive in the playoffs,” OPRF second baseman Fiona Girardot said. “The joy we felt after that game was comparable to a win at the state tournament. We faced a lot of different adversities during that game and we overcame the challenge as a team. It was the highlight of our season.” Additionally, with their highly productive offense having scored eight runs in an earlier game against York’s freshman star pitcher Lauren Derkowski, the Huskies (26-6) had every reason to feel confident about facing top-seeded Dukes. However, there is an old adage in baseball and softball that says more often than not, good pitching beats good hitting in the playoffs. See HUSKIES on page 49
