Remembering Riverside’s ‘great heroic figure’ Rev. Hedley H. Cooper was village’s first foreign war casualty

By BOB UPHUES

n August 1945, a postal carrier delivered a letter from Lt. J.P Dixon, a G.I. stationed in France in the months after the war in Europe had ended, to St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Oak Park. The brief letter was addressed to Rev. Hedley Heberr Cooper, who was at one time ime the priest-in-charge of the church and whom m the soldier hoped still resided there. Dixon wrote that a French woman had shown him a silver communion set – a small chalice, communion plate and two containers for water and wine -- inscribed with the following: “Rev. Hedley H. Coooper, St. Christopher’s her’s Church, Oak Park, Illinois, linois, April 22, 1917.” The letter also stated d that th t the th communion set reportedly had been found “on the Verdun battlefield in 1918.” Lt. Dixon might have guessed, correctly, that Cooper had been among the American troops stationed in the vicinity of Verdun that year. No doubt, Dixon surmised, See COOPER on page 8

In this Komarek war, students come out on top

Eighth-grade cupcake bakers defeat faculty for first time By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

It’s war every spring at Komarek School -- a cupcake war. Teams of seventh- and eighth-graders compete in a cupcake and cake decorating contest and then square off with faculty members in a culinary clash of titans. First, students competed among teams at their grade level. The seventh- and eighthgrade champions then advanced to the finals, where they took on a faculty team. Up until this year, the faculty team has won every time. But last week, the eighthgrade team made history, giving a student

team its first victory in the eight-year history of the event. “It’s great to know that we beat them for once and it’s the first,” said eighth-grader baker Andriana Rios, referring to her teammates, Paige Beggs, Brandy Macias and Allison Nunez. The win was especially sweet for Beggs because her mother, Amy, a paraprofessional who works in the preschool at Komarek, was on the faculty team. “If I had to lose to somebody I’m glad it was her,” Amy Beggs said. “The bragging rights are going to be tough in the house.” Paige Beggs was so committed to the contest that she skipped the conference cross-

country meet to take part. Last year, she and Macias missed the finals because they were on a Fishing Club trip. “I’m not going to miss this. It’s my last year here, so I’ll skip the cross-country meet. They have other kids that they can use,” Paige Beggs said. The contest was started by Komarek home economics teacher Melissa Corlett and is based on the “Cupcake Wars” television show on the Food Network. Corlett thought it would be a fun end of the year activity for members of her Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) club. See CUPCAKE WAR on page 14

Coonley Playhouse, 350 Fairbank Road, Riverside made sure to do, often. On New Year’s Eve, the Smiths would host a banquet with a table seating 30 people, stretching from one end of the living room to the other. Outside, Smith planted a virtual arboretum of trees native to the area, including little-leaf linden, bitter nut hickory, Kentucky coffee trees, dogwoods, black walnut and a variety of oaks, including two rare black oaks. As for who might buy the home, Smith said it would be perfect “for a couple who like to entertain, frequently.” “I do hope it ends up with someone sympathetic,” Smith said. McCurry said his intention is to market the home internationally.

“It deserves projection in the marketplace in an international fashion,” McCurry said. The playhouse isn’t the only part of the Coonley Estate that’s on the market at present. The “public” wing of the main Coonley Estate, built nearby in 1907 at 281 Scottswood Road and painstakingly restored by Ella Mae and the late Dean Eastman, recently went back on the market with an asking price of $1,599,000. The 6,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home has been on and off the market for many years. Previous asking prices have topped $2 million. McCurry said he thinks the playhouse and the public wing of the main estate likely will attract different kinds of buyers.

Boy rescued after falling into Salt Creek Brookfield and Riverside emergency personnel rescued a 14-year-old boy from Salt Creek near Cantata Adult Life Services on May 21 at about 6:10 p.m., after he accidentally slipped and fell into the river while trying to retrieve a basketball. An ambulance and a police officer just happened to be responding to a medical call at Cantata when a bicyclist flagged down the Officer Kathleen Golden, stating a boy was stuck in the water near the bike

path behind the assisted-living facility. The bicyclist guided Golden to an area near the Salt Creek spillway, a set of three large culverts that serves as an overflow connection to the Des Plaines River. The boy was standing on debris at the edge of the spillway, unable to get out of the water, which was moving swiftly around him into the culverts. Golden tossed the boy a water rescue bag – a device Brookfield police purchased

for all of its squad cars after a kayaker got stuck in the spillway in 2017 – and had him wrap the rope around his waist. A short time later, Riverside Fire Chief Matthew Buckley arrived and extended a ladder to the boy, who was then able to climb out of the river. Paramedics checked the boy out, but he was not injured and refused further medical treatment. Almost exactly a year ago, on May 29,

2017, a 24-year-old Berwyn man and his kayak got trapped about 75 feet inside inside the spillway after he went over the mini-dam that directs water into one of the three culverts. He was rescued by firefighters, who threw him lines to help the man pull himself out of the culvert. The man’s kayak subsequently was recovered from the Des Plaines River. — Bob Uphues

DNA evidence links two men to Riverside vehicle theft

Two years after submitting DNA evidence to the Illinois State Police Crime Lab, Riverside police were able to arrest two men in connection with the theft of a 2008 Cadillac Escalade stolen from the driveway of a home in the 200 block of Longcommon Road in February 2016. Police arrested Steven T. Shea, 23, at his home in Berwyn on May 15 and charged him with felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle. Also charged with the same offense was 24-year-old Brandon Hoynes, of Chicago. Hoynes was arrested at Stateville Correctional Center on May 15, the day he was paroled after serving part of a three-year sentence for an unrelated burglary conviction. On Feb. 9, 2016, Hoynes and Shea allegedly drove to Riverside in a stolen Dodge Caravan, ditched it in the driveway of a home and then drove off with the Cadillac, which had been left unlocked, with the keys inside the vehicle. Police recovered the Cadillac in March 2016 and recovered cigarette butts, which were processed for DNA evidence, as well as one spent .38 caliber handgun shell. Police believe shots may have been fired from the vehicle, and evidence has been turned over to Chicago police to assist in any unsolved drive-by shooting cases. The shell casing hasn’t been linked to any incident as of last week.

More than two years after the DNA evidence was submitted to the state police, Riverside police were notified of a positive match, linking the evidence to Hoynes and Shea. Police say both men are documented street gang members who were suspects in several unsolved garage burglaries in Riverside around February 2016.

Student in hot water over toy gun On the same day a 17-year-old high school student allegedly shot and killed 10 people in Santa Fe, Texas, Riverside police charged a 16-year-old Brookfield boy with disorderly conduct for displaying a toy gun in his waistband to classmates at Riverside-Brookfield High School in an attempt to “look cool” on May 18 at about 9 a.m. According to police, the toy gun still had an orange tip indicating it was not real, but the boy reportedly had removed orange striping from the butt and handle of the gun, making it appear real as it protruded from his waistband. While the boy’s friends knew the gun was a plastic toy, said police, others didn’t and alerted school security, who detained him. At about 10:45 a.m., police returned to the school after receiving a call of a student with a butterfly-type knife. As the student, an

T I E V SA

18-year-old North Riverside resident, showed a friend how the knife opened and closed, other students saw the knife and reported to school personnel. School security detained the student, who reportedly told police he didn’t realize his actions would alarm other students. Police charged the 18 year old with disorderly conduct. “It was determined that both students displayed the weapons, which was a major factor on why they were charged with disorderly conduct,” said Police Chief Thomas Weitzel in a press release. “In today’s world student, staff and parents should be aware that any weapon brought into a school setting will be treated as a potential criminal offense.”

Stolen truck found in forest preserve A Waukegan man called Brookfield police on May 17 at about 6:55 p.m. to report that his 2000 Chevy C15 truck, which he left unlocked and running in the strip mall parking lot at 9132 31st Ave. while he went into a nearby gas station to buy a soft drink, had been stolen. While canvassing the area for witnesses, police learned that a Cook County Forest Preserve District officer located the truck, stuck in the mud of a large open field in the McCor-

mick Woods at 31st Street and First Avenue. The victim told police he’d left his truck unattended at about 6:45 p.m. Cook County Forest Preserve District police reported observing the truck in McCormick Woods at 6:25 p.m. In addition, police observed straps attached to the front wheels, indicating an attempt to pull it from the mud, but they found no footprints in the mud. The steering column was damaged, but no keys were present. Police said the investigation was continuing.

Graffiti Brookfield police reported two instances of garages being vandalized by someone spray painting or scrawling “gang type” graffiti on them. Both incidents were reported on May 20, one in the 3300 block of Prairie Avenue (red spray paint) and one in the 3300 block of Vernon Avenue (blue ink). These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, May 1420, 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.

Riverside to host Memorial Day program Events honoring war dead, veterans in both morning and afternoon

By BOB UPHUES Editor

The village of Riverside will host its annual Memorial Day program on Monday, May 28 at 10 a.m. at the St. Mary Parish Center, 97 Herrick Road. The ceremony, which honors the 54 Riverside residents killed while serving in the Armed Forces in the nation’s foreign wars since the beginning of the 20th century, has drawn more than 100 people in recent years. For the past 10 years, the program has been organized by Riverside resident Tom Sisulak, and it now includes a pair of ceremonies – one in the morning at St. Mary’s and another at 1 p.m. at the Gold Star Memorial in Guthrie Park, Riverside and Bloomingbank roads, across from the train station. During the longer morning program, local pastors will read the names of the “Riverside 54” and the program also honors a living veteran each year. This year’s honored veteran is

they don’t.” Schumacher did not deny that Jimenez’s job performance was discussed by the school board during closed session. “We have discussions on all our administrators in closed sessions over the course of the springtime,” Schumacher said. The superintendent said being a principal is not an easy job and that demand on both teachers and administrators have grown during the past decade or so. It’s not always easy to find a good fit and, as a result, principals come and go more often these days. “There’s a lot of factors that are involved in finding both the best fit for us and the best fit for somebody who is a who is applying for a position,” Schumacher said. “Unfortunately it’s not as uncommon to see more movement occurring within particularly principal ranks, where probably the average tenure is about three years now.” Robinette, 41, is a resident of Lombard and has worked in education for nine years. Before going into education, he worked as a personal trainer, sous chef and restaurant manager. He grew up in southern New Jersey and came to Chicago to work as a sous chef for the TV show “Early Edition.” Robinette managed a number of restaurants, including the Weber Grill restaurant in Lombard, California Pizza

Kitchen restaurants in the Oakbrook Center shopping mall and in Schaumburg, and a Dave & Buster’s restaurant in downtown Chicago. After doing restaurant work for more than a decade, he decided to change careers and began taking classes at Northeastern Illinois University while still working full time as a restaurant manager. “I met my wife and we decided to have a family, and I thought I couldn’t be a successful family man in the restaurant industry,” said Robinette, who now has four children. Robinette earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Northeastern in 2009 and was hired to teach middle school language arts at Rhodes School in River Grove. He has earned two masters degrees, one in educational leadership from Northeastern and one in curriculum and instruction with an endorsement in English as a Second Language from Concordia University. He is completing his third year as the principal at Barbour Two-Way Language Immersion School. His experience in a duallanguage program will come in handy at Congress Park. Congress Park during the 2017-18 school year began a dual-language program in kindergarten that will be expanded each year by one grade.

COOPER

Itching to go from page 1 the communion set was mislaid during the chaos of trench warfare in that part of Lorraine. Dixon wrote Cooper to announce he’d found his long-lost communion set and that it “undoubtedly would make an interesting story.” ■

According to a biographical sketch written in 2000 by Francis A. Brennan, a relative, Hedley Heber Cooper was born in Adrian, Michigan on Jan. 25, 1886, which would have made him 31 years old when he received the communion set. It was given to him as a going-away present. Cooper had been ordained a priest in June 1914 and was immediately assigned to St. Christopher’s on East Avenue in Oak Park. It must have been a comfortable assignment for him. He was close to his family’s home in Riverside, where his father, the Rev. Robert O. Cooper, had been rector of St. Paul Episcopal Church since 1908. Hedley’s eyesight was poor, and he wore the same Pince-nez-style glasses favored by his father, though he eschewed his dad’s bushy mustache, which made Robert look a little like Teddy Roosevelt. It took a while for Hedley to become ordained. He attended the University of Chicago, where he was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, and REV. ROBERT COOPER according to a 1918 item in a publication called The Diocese of Chicago, he also attended Northwestern. Cooper attended the General Theological Seminary in New York City from 1909 to 1911, but he didn’t graduate, according to Brennan. While there, Cooper “applied to be a candidate for Holy Orders in the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago” and in November 1911 transferred his application to the New York Diocese. Two years later, Cooper was still in New York, anxiously awaiting ordination as a deacon, a step apparently necessary to clear the way for his ordination. It would be another year, in June 1914, before 28-year-old Hedley Cooper would be ordained a priest at St. John the Divine in New York City. He was sent to his first assignment as a priest to St. Christopher’s in Oak Park, where he apparently made quite an impression. According to a parish history on the St. Christopher’s website, Father Cooper instituted the tradition of transforming the black cross of Good Friday into a floral cross on Easter.

Christ, about three-feet tall and missing its hands. His relative, Brennan, wrote that he was told by Father Thomas Fraser, who retired last year as rector of St. Paul Church in Riverside, that Cooper had sent the figure to his parents as a war souvenir. The cross subsequently was mounted on a cross and is still displayed on a wall in the Guild Hall at St. Paul Church. According to W.E. Robb, who served as the chaplain for the 168th Regiment and wrote the book “The Price of Our Heritage” in 1919, Cooper joined the regiment in late May. He and another YMCA volunteer, Halliday Smith, ran YMCA canteens for the troops in front-line trench dug-outs. Just before 1 a.m. on May 27, 2018, all hell broke loose, according to “The Story of the 168th Infantry,” written by John H. Taber and published by the State Historical Society of Iowa in 1925. Along a half-mile line facing the 168th Regiment’s position northeast of Badonviller, the Germans attacked, using an electrical charge to simultaneously launch about 600 shells each containing about two gallons of liquid phosgene from high-angled tubes similar to mortars.

BATTLE’S AFTERMATH: U.S. Army troops carry the coffins holding the bodies of their dead comrades into the French Military Cemetery in Baccarat on May 28, 1918 and line them up for burial. Prior to burial, troops gave the dead a rifle salute. Cooper’s body in 1921 was disinterred and reburied (headstone, below left) near Christ Church in Sparkill, New York. That same year, Riverside erected a memorial to its war dead, including Cooper (below, right). The liquid phosgene “vaporized into heavy gas” when they detonated on impact. The soldiers of the 168th, most of them asleep, were unprepared. “In a moment half the battalion area was suddenly drenched with the concentrated fumes of phosgene gas, one whiff of which is enough to kill,” Taber wrote. The Germans followed the gas attack with an artillery barrage. “The [gas shell] projectors had been ranged with diabolical accuracy, and now came shrapnel and high explosive to paralyze them from reaching the open air and safety,” Taber wrote. As the shells fell, and the gas spread, according to Chaplain Robb, both Cooper and Smith went forward to help care for the wounded. According to Taber in his history of the 168th Infantry, Cooper and Smith “thought not of themselves but of the struggling, agonized men about them, and rendered the most valuable assistance, working until they fell from exhaustion.” It’s not clear whether Cooper himself died from inhaling poison gas or was killed by artillery fire. Chaplain Robb wrote that when the attack started “Cooper donned his gas mask and went out to see what he could do to help.” A sergeant “let him pilot a detail of ammunition down to the front line and while doing so was killed.” In writing about Smith’s death, however, Robb, wrote that the two YMCA men were aiding the wounded when “a gas shell burst near them and they did not realize its deadly nature until a breath had been taken. Smith was immediately overcome.” Taber, the 168th Regiment’s historian wrote that both Cooper and Smith died while being transported by ambulance to the rear. Robb said the regiment suffered more than

400 casualties, including 47 dead in the May 27 gas attack. In July 2018, the Episcopalian publication “The Diocese of Chicago” reported that Cooper was “the first American clergyman to fall in the war.” Burials of the dead from the gas attack commenced the following day. Cooper was laid to rest among the 42nd Division troops at the French Military Cemetery in Baccarat. A U.S. Army Signal Corps movie documenting the 42nd Division’s time near Baccarat contains footage of a sergeant scattering chloride of lime in a shell hole on May 28 to counteract the effects of any remaining phosgene gas residue.

The movie also includes several scenes involving the May 28 funeral procession and the burial of those killed in the May 27 attack, including soldiers firing a 21-gun salute over the flag-draped wooden coffins placed on the ground in front of them. Remarkably enough, there are also about 18 seconds of footage filmed showing Mr. M.P. McNaughten, chief of the YMCA, and Mrs. F.A. Rutherford placing flowers on the graves of Cooper and Smith. The scene is listed and described in a Signal Corps record of the film in the National Archives. Cooper’s grave appears to be the one on the left.

The document dates the footage to June 1, 1918, but it’s more likely that it was shot May 30, on Decoration Day, when top commanders of the 42nd Division and townspeople were filmed decorating the graves of the division’s dead. Among those laying flowers on the graves is Col. Douglas MacArthur, the 42nd Division’s chief of staff. Cooper’s body remained in France until 1921 when, at his father’s request a year earlier, the U.S War Department disinterred Cooper’s body and shipped it to Christ Church in Sparkill, where he’d briefly served as rector. According to Brennan, Christ Church records indicate that Cooper was buried in Rockland Cemetery “overlooking the church he loved and within the sound of the bell” on July 29, 1921. “The Living Church,” an Episcopalian publication reported in its Aug. 20, 1921 edition that the Rev. Raymond Brown, chaplain of the 71st New York Regiment, gave the eulogy. Present at the ceremony were Cooper’s parents and siblings, as well as many friends from Cooper’s former parish in Oak Park. Christ Church parishioners placed a stained-glass window memorializing Cooper and his predecessor and fellow YMCA secretary, Rev. Henry P. Seymour, in the church after the war. The church lost two successive rectors in France. Seymour, who had shipped out with the YMCA in September 1917, died Oct. 24, 1918 in a Paris hospital after being injured in a fall while serving with the 1st Division. On May 30, 1921, two months before Cooper’s burial in New York, Riverside residents turned out in Guthrie Park to witness the dedication of a new war memorial, consisting of four boulders, each bearing a bronze plaque – three of them emblazoned with the names of three Riversiders who lost their lives while serving the nation during the Great War.

One of the plaques reads “In Memory of Reverend Hedley Heber Cooper, Chaplain, Killed on the Battle Front in France. May 26th, 1918.” The date of Cooper’s death was, at the time, often reported to have been on May 26. It’s the same date that appears on his headstone in Rockland Cemetery and on a stained-glass window placed in the sanctuary of St. Paul Church in his memory. But official unit histories of the 168th Regiment are clear that he died in the May 27 gas attack. Cooper’s name also can be found on war memorials in Scoville Park in Oak Park and at the University of Chicago. The 71st New York Regiment, whose historian called Cooper “the great heroic figure” of the unit, erected a bronze tablet in Cooper’s memory at its monumental regimental armory at 34th Street and Park Avenue in New York City, according to Brennan. The armory was demolished in 1971. ■

The Rev. Charles Street, who was rector of St. Christopher’s Church in Oak Park in 1945, is reported to have replied to Lt. Dixon’s letter about Cooper’s communion set. And, parish legend has it that the items recovered from the World War I battlefield made their way back to Oak Park. Brennan wrote that a 1950 inventory of the St. Christopher’s sacristy included mention of “at least one or possibly two” communion sets. But, whether either belonged to Cooper wasn’t mentioned in the inventory. In any event, according to the church’s history, the communion set was believed to have been among the silver items stolen from the church sacristy during a burglary in the 1970s. Special thanks to Stephen Mitchell, the historian of Christ Church in Sparkill, New York, who generously shared Francis Brennan’s biographical sketch of Hedley Cooper, which was an indispensable source for this piece.

Riverside budget finished in the red in 2017 General operating fund posted a $230,000 shortfall last year, trustees learn

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Riverside trustees expressed surprise last week after Finance Director Karin Johns reported that, five months after the end of 2017, that last year’s general operating budget posted a roughly $230,000 deficit. When it was passed, the general operating fund, which pays for day-to-day expenses of the village, such as employee salaries and benefits, was expected to end 2017 with a small surplus. “I thought I was watching this pretty closely,” said Trustee Michael Sedivy during a discussion of the matter at the May 17 meeting of the village board. “I was not aware that we were running a 3-percent deficit [last] year,” Sedivy said. “So finding that out in May of 2018 … I’m wondering what I missed.” Johns brought the information to the

board in order to have trustees pass an amendment to their 2017 budget ordinance, since several expense line items in last year’s budget came in over estimates. The amendments needed to get board approval in order for the village’s auditor to continue preparing Riverside’s certified annual financial report for 2017. While trustees voted unanimously to approve the amendments, they also called for a full accounting of where the village came up short, especially with respect to revenues. “”I’d like to see that in the staff summary,” said Trustee Doug Pollock. “I would like to know what that is.” Among the line items that came in over budget in 2017 were payments to the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency, which handles liability insurance for the village. Riverside was hit with a large worker’s

compensation claim in 2017, said Village Manager Jessica Frances, which resulted in Riverside paying about $50,000 more than expected to IRMA last year. The village also spent $44,600 more with its law firm last year, much of it in connection with village-board approved lawsuits related to code enforcement matters and its purchase of commercial property on Harlem Avenue. Riverside also spent almost $30,000 more than it anticipated in training for firefighters, as a result “significant staff turnover,” according to Johns’ memo regarding the budget amendments to the village board. The 2017 budget also apparently did not include a $37,000 line item related to salestax reimbursement incentives the village board approved in late 2016 and in early 2017 for two downtown restaurants, La Barra and Sawmilly. Johns also told the village board on May

17 that projected general operating fund revenues fell about $135,000 short of expectations in 2017. According to Johns, the village collected about $130,800 less than it had anticipated for its share of the state income taxes. Last year, the Illinois General Assembly cut its income tax disbursements to municipalities by 10 percent last year. However, the picture in Riverside could have been worse if not for greater-thananticipated revenues related to recreation fees, building permit fees and restaurant food sales in 2017. Revenue related to building, zoning and inspection fees came in $110,000 over estimates, and Riverside also collected $25,000 more than it expected from its places-foreating tax. The village also collected $45,000 more than expected in recreation program fees in 2017.

THE LANDMARK VIEW

istorical research is fascinating. While some might think it’s boring to scroll through out-of-focus microfilm or try to come up with the magic combination of search terms to yield just the right results online, it’s much more than that. About seven months ago, during a kerfuffle over the war memorial in downtown Riverside, we took our first real look at the names on those three original plaques — men who once walked the streets of the village 100 or so years ago, had families who loved them, but whose lives were cut short serving in World War I. One of the men, Sgt. James Quinn, died of a sudden illness, probably the flu, after the war in 1919 at an army camp in Texas. Two others died while serving in France. One of the two who shipped off overseas and died there in 1918 remains something of a mystery. Pvt. Albert Moore appears to have died in battle though it’s not a completely solid conclusion. Moore was a Marine attached to the U.S. Army’s 2nd Division and he died on a date that would indicate he was part of the counterattacking force during the Second Battle of the Marne in northern France in July 1918. But there is almost no information to be found online about Moore, and the library’s collection of local newspapers doesn’t include any editions from 1918. It’s frustrating and regrettable that the circumstances of Moore’s death have been forgotten a century later. While there’s no local news report regarding the death of the other Riverside man who served in France, the Rev. Hedley Heber Cooper, it turned out there were not only written but also visual records of his life as an adult, his service and his death. The Landmark’s story of Father Cooper’s service in France as a YMCA volunteer benefitted greatly from a brief history written by a relative doing family research. But it was almost by luck that we were able to stumble across a scene showing two YMCA officials decorating Cooper’s grave in France a couple of days after his death in an actual U.S. Army Signal Corps movie. We actually ran across the movie itself, which the National Archives had posted on YouTube, more than a week ago and discovered a scene-by-scene description of what it showed. The movie documented the Army unit Cooper was attached to, from March to June 1918, and appeared to be pieced together in sequence. The gas attack in which Cooper died was a traumatic event for the Army unit Cooper served alongside, and the video record of the many burials after it is a testament to its importance. But what we discovered only late last week after also stumbling across a comprehensive record of every photograph printed by the U.S. Army Signal Corps during the war — a record found by pasting in a YMCA record of Cooper’s grave in an apparently now-gone French military cemetery in Baccarat, France — is that there was a photo of Hedley Cooper’s grave. Since it appeared other still photos in the record were also part of the 1918 movie, we took another look at the movie. And, sure enough, there were 18 seconds of film at Cooper’s grave, placed out of sequence. It’s remarkable that, of the nearly 120,000 Americans killed during World War I, we can definitively identify a visual record of the sacrifice made by a one-time Riverside resident who died while serving the nation as a YMCA volunteer in Lorraine. Go to www.RBLandmark.com and click on the movie, which we’ve embedded with the story. The scene starts at 7:19. Cooper’s grave is the one on the left. Picture that the next time you’re in Guthrie Park and see Cooper’s name on the memorial plaque dedicated in his memory in 1921.

Archdiocese recognizes women making a difference

his time of year tends to be the time for organizations to hold their annual recognition affairs for their groups and membership. One of these annual events held in the Chicago area is the recognition of women who are members of the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women. The Chicago Archdiocese is divided into vicariates, which are then broken into smaller groups known as deaneries. Vicariate IV held its luncheon on May 20 to honor women from its five deaneries. Deanery E is represented by five parishes in our area, including St. Barbara in Brookfield, St. Hugh in Lyons, St. Louise de Marillac in LaGrange Park, Mater Christi in North Riverside and St. Mary in Riverside. A woman from each parish was honored for service to the community, their parish and women’s group. Terese Kourim of St. Barbara has been a parishioner for 18 years and is beginning her second year as president of the women’s group. Her extensive list of involvement included making rosaries for the missions, serving as a substitute altar server and as a sacristan, to name a few things.

Ida Clary of Mater Christi is a longtime parishioner, active with the Women’s Guild. She also has served on the Parish Council among other things to which she gives her time. Bernardien Austin from St. Mary is the mother of 10 children and proud grandmother of 10. In her spare (?) time she has helped as a school volunteer, with the youth ministry and the food pantry. An educator, she has served the school in many areas. She was proud to have some of her children present as well as one grandson, Charlie. Honored from St. Hugh was Vangie Price and from St. Louise Helene Clarke. Fifteen women were recognized as Women of Action, representative of spirituality, leadership and service in their daily lives. Each introduction and list of accomplishments and activities led those in attendance to repeat, “If you want something done, ask the busy person,” and in this case the busy woman. Following the program there was -- and what luncheon would be without one -- a raffle and a split-the-pot raffle. While I came home empty handed, I came back learning about some very generous women who keep on giving. Congratulations to all who serve in many capacities you all need to be recognized.

PIECE OF CAKE: Faculty team members (from left) Johannah Tomita, Amy Beggs and Jackie Sprague are hard at work designing their cake while Amy’s daughter, Paige (below), does her best to out-decorate the adult competition during the annual Cupcake War at Komarek School on May 16.

CUPCAKE WAR Close call from page 3 “The kids love it,” Corlett said. “They look forward to it every year.” The competition starts with four teams of seventh-graders and four teams of eighthgraders competing within their grade level. Each team has four members. This year each team started with four cupcakes and one nine-inch round cake. At the start of the finals, which took place after school on May 16 in the home ec room at Komarek, Corlett announced the theme which this year was summertime. Each team got five minutes to think and plan and then 55 minutes to decorate. In the finals, the eighth-graders had to decorate at least two cupcakes and the round cake. Students had access to nearly 20 toppings including graham crackers, frosting, lollipops, rock candy, animal crackers, shredded wheat, Twizzlers, gum and more. They also could use toothpicks, the only nonfood item, to build structures. The top seventh- and eighth-grade teams as well as the faculty team decorated three cupcakes: a volcano, a sandcastle and a pineapple. Their round cake was decorated as a beach with water and sand with the sun setting over the water. The creations judged by District 94 Superintendent Brian Ganan and Komarek teachers Sandra Mizia and Meghan Irle. The judges

didn’t know which team created which entry, and they awarded scores on a 1 to 10 scale. The final results were close, with the eighthgraders edging out the faculty team by just two points 138-136, with the seventh-graders right behind with 135 points. “I’ve judged every single one of them [except for the one year that she was on the faculty team] and this is the toughest,” Mizia said. Corlett was not surprised that the eighthgrade team won. “They work very well together. They’re a returning team and they think it through ahead of time,” Corlett said. The eighth-graders divided duties. Rios and Nunez worked on the cupcakes, Beggs did the decorating of the round cake and Macias was in charge of designs and all-around helping out. “It was pretty fun,” Nunez said. “I really like doing because it was a new experience. I never really do stuff like this anywhere else.” For the eighth-graders, winning was the icing on the cake, so to speak. “It’s very exciting and I feel proud of myself and our work,” Macias said. “It was really fun making it.” Each team got to take home its creation to enjoy. A few minutes after the judges announced the results, the eighth-graders were already scooping off a little frosting with their fingers. Rios said that she likely would not eat too much of what the team created. “I like decorating, but not baking because I don’t usually don’t like eating a lot of cake and pastries,” she said.

The Lyons Township High School boys track and field team tuned up for the upcoming IHSA state meet by winning the Class 3A Morton Sectional. LTHS rolled to victory with a score 128.50, followed by the sectional host Mustangs (75). Senior Danny Kilrea, who won the cross country state title in the fall, won the 3,200-meter race with a time of 9 minutes, 5.15 seconds. The Notre Dame-bound Kilrea topped teammate Ryan Bonfiglio (9:47.66), who also advanced to state. Other individual event winners for LTHS were senior Joe Kriekmeier in the pole vault (15-0), junior Zach McLain in the 110 hurdles (15.33), junior Xavier Armand in the 300 hurdles (40.16) and senior Charles Harders in the 1,600 (4:24.75). Armand also advanced to state in the 110 hurdles with a runner-up time of 15.50. The Lions also won titles in the 1,600 (3:26.93) and 3,200 relays (8:05.05).

LTHS girls 17th at state The Lions tied Barrington (15 points) for 17th place at the state meet over the weekend. Strong performances in the relays set a positive tone for LTHS during Saturday’s finals. The 1,600 relay of Renata Wingert, Sonia Slusarczyk, Lizzie Scotty and Tara Schwarz came in fourth with a time of 3:54.80. In the 3,200 relay, Maggie Abbs, Marta Kogucki, Ally Sarussi and Kate Dickman earned seventh at 9:22.36. Slusarczyk had a superb state meet, finishing fourth in the 300 hurdles in a school-record time of 45.11. She earned 10th in the 100 hurdles (15.32). “Overall, we performed at a very high level and ran the best we have all year,” LTHS coach Greg Frandsen said. “With 17 of the 24 that qualified for state coming back next year, I think our young runners gained valuable experience.” Frandsen also praised Kyla Miller, Natalie Swinehart, Olivia Kalata, Claire Williams, Sunsiree Phipps, Isabelle Reynolds

and London White for their effort at state.

The Fenwick boys team finished eighth (31 points) at the Glenbard South Sectional. St. Laurence (125) won the sectional, followed by Montini (79), Evergreen Park (66), St. Rita (56) and Glenbard South (51). Fenwick qualified its 3,200 relay team and triple jumper Matthew Augustyn for the state finals. Augustyn, a senior, came in second at sectional with a triple jump measure of 43-5. “Matt set a personal-best by two feet and qualified by time and mark with a jump of 43 feet, 5 inches,” Fenwick coach Marcus McKinley said. “Considering that he missed winning the triple jump by about three inches as the fifth seed, it was a remarkable accomplishment.” The 3,200 team placed first with a time of 8:33.24. “The 3,200m relay team will be spending our short week working on speed,” McKinley said. “Matt [Augustyn] will be able to focus on triple jump, which should help him with his goal of setting a new school record and making it into the [state] finals on Saturday.”

RBHS boys head to state meet

Fenwick girls 29th at state

RBHS senior George Cervanka punched his ticket to the IHSA state finals with second-place finishes in the 100 (11.20) and 200 (22.85) at the Morton Sectional. Senior Devin Moody also qualified for state in the high jump (6-6). The Bulldogs’ 3,200 relay of Jack Sagan, Jacob Wardzala, Chris Magno and Jason Noel recorded a time of 8:09.71 as a runnerup to LTHS (8:05.05) and qualify for state. In the team standings at Morton, RBHS was fifth with a score 57.50.

The Friars scored eight points at the IHSA state meet to earn a share 29th place with four other schools. Junior pole vaulter Claire Gatermann set a new school record, clearing 11 feet in the preliminaries Friday. She cleared 10-6 to finish 13th in the finals. Fenwick excelled in the 3,200 as a relay and individuals. In the 3,200 relay, freshman Maria Quinn, junior Laura Durkin, sophomore Marie O’Brien and junior Maggie Van Ermen recorded a time of 9:42.81 to earn sixth in the state. Senior Margaret O’Brien (11:19.20) and freshman Katie Cahill (12:33.99) placed sixth and 18th, respectively, in the 3,200. Other notable results in the prelims included junior Colleen Grogan’s 48.19 in the 300 hurdles and senior Emma Hackett’s 9003 in discus. “Colleen is just starting to hurdle again after an injury,” Fenwick coach Dale Heidloff said. “Her [prelims] time at state was two seconds better than her season best.”

RBHS girls Senior Isabel Montefinese finished sixth (99-09) in the first of three flights in the discus throw during Friday’s preliminaries at the state meet. She qualified for state by winning the Lyons Sectional with a throw of 108-03.

Fenwick water polo takes second in state Boys, girls teams finish as state runners-up to cap off memorable season

By MELVIN TATE

Fenwick boys

Contributing Reporter

Fenwick water polo fans left Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire with a bittersweet feeling Saturday night. Both the boys and girls teams advanced to the state championship match, only to fall one victory shy of their annual goal. Collectively, the Friars have won 30 state championships (20 boys, 10 girls). In the girls final, host Stevenson (35-1) simply had too much offensive firepower for the Friars (24-7). Junior Paulina Correa’s goal just 15 seconds into the contest gave Fenwick fans cause for optimism. The goal would represent the Friars’ lone lead as the Patriots responded with three unanswered goals en route to an impressive 12-7 win. After Correa’s goal, the Patriots countered with a goal by Kalista Tapas and two by Lauren Maloney, who finished with a match-high six goals. Kassy Rodriguez cut the Friars’ deficit to one with a goal, but Stevenson’s Amelia Eastman responded with one of her own to power the Patriots to a 4-2 lead after one quarter. The Friars opened the second half well, with goals from Correa and Harper Daniels within the first minute to cut their deficit to 7-5. Stevenson scored three of the next four goals to take a 10-6 advantage after three quarters.

The boys team certainly felt confident entering its matchup against Naperville Central in the state final. However, the Friars’ hopes of winning state were quelled early as the Redhawks scored the first four goals of the match en route to a 13-5 victory. “We thought if we put up a good effort, we could give them a good game,” Fenwick coach Kyle Perry said. “But they were able to do what they wanted to do. Their defense is so good and their goalie played awesome.” Trailing 4-0, Fenwick didn’t score until 49 seconds into the second quarter when Payton Comstock found the back of the net. The Friars’ Ivan Soto added another goal, but the Friars trailed 5-2. The Redhawks dominated the third quarter as well, outscoring Fenwick 4-1 to take a commanding 9-3 entering the fourth quarter. Alex Figus scored the Friars’ lone goal in the third. The Redhawks tacked on three more goals to build their insurmountable lead to 12-3 in the fourth quarter. Friars’ Nate Fisher and Ramses Flores each scored a goal in the fourth. “It was pretty rough,” Soto said after the loss. “But we tried our best and that’s all that matters. Fenwick is a great program and I was proud to be a part of it.”
