Village one of 10 finalists in Reader’s Digest contest By BOB UPHUES Editor
Is North Riverside the nicest place in the United States? Of course, the folks of that village like to think so. After all, its motto is “a small community with a big heart.” In early July, we’ll find out whether the nation agrees. On June 20, the Reader’s Digest announced that North Riverside was one of the Top 10 “Nicest Places in America” and is now asking people to vote online (www.10best. com/awards/travel/readers-digest-nicest) to select the nicest place in the nation. You can vote daily until the contest ends on July 7 at 6 p.m. “Let’s continue the Chicago tradition,” said Mayor Hubert Hermanek Jr. “Vote early, vote often, tell your friends and show ’em how it should be done.” As of Monday afternoon, North Riverside was running fourth in the voting. The winner of the contest will be the cover story in the November issue of Reader’s Digest and will also be featured on the TV show “Good Morning America.” Robin Roberts, co-host of “Good Morning America” was on the panel of judges, along with Reader’s Digest editors, who chose the 10 finalists from a field of 450 submissions. “It’s been a privilege getting to know these incredible communities and I’m thrilled to share their heartwarming stories with America,” said Roberts in a press release.

Picnics made a whole lot easier at Scout Cabin Girl Scout project adds benches, picnic table, trash enclosure
By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter
Thanks to a local Girl Scout troop, picnicking around the Scout Cabin in Riverside just got a whole lot easier. Members of Girl Scout Troop 41020 built an octagonal picnic table, installed smooth, varnished cut log benches around the fire pit, placed native plants around the cabin to improve looks and drainage and built an enclosure for garbage cans to enhance the amenities at the cabin. After the village of Riverside decided to allow picnicking in parks, the scouts decided that the cabin needed a picnic table and other improvements. In 2015, Boy Scout Ben Lulich built a stone fire pit near the cabin as an Eagle Scout project, and the Girl Scouts decided that it would be nice to have benches around the fire pit. So they decided to make some, using cut black walnut logs supplied by Lyons Tree Services. They assembled the picnic table using power drills, sanded it down to a smooth finish and applied multiple coats of a protective
sealant. They were so proud of their work that they wrote their names in magic marker on the underside of the benches. The scouts worked on their project for more than a year at a cost of approximately $2,000. They received a $985 contribution from the Riverside Junior Woman’s Charity and raised money by selling baked goods at Riverside Cruise Nights, among other efforts. The village of Riverside contributed $523 in supplies for the refuse enclosure. Twelve of the 15 girls in the troop earned a Silver Award by working at least 50 hours on the project. The Silver Award is the secondhighest award a Girl Scout can receive. On June 15, the scouts celebrated the completion of their work. “It feels good, like a weight lifted off my shoulders, because we’ve been working on for it a long time,” said 15-year-old Azucena Gama, of Riverside. “I hope families use it, and the summer camps and all the kids who come here.” During the year-long project, Girl Scouts worked closely with the Riverside Parks and Recreation Department. They had make a presentation before the Parks and Recreation

Board, which needed to sign off on the plans. “This has exceeded our wildest expectations,” said Parks and Recreation Board Chairwoman Elizabeth Kos after seeing what the scouts had done. Sarah Johnson, one of the three troop leaders, also was proud of her troop’s work. “I’m really pleased with how it turned out,” Johnson said. Andersen Concrete Pumping donated materials, tools and other equipment that the scouts used. Troop 41020 formed in 2009; most of the girls in the troop are now heading into their sophomore year of high school. The Scout Cabin is located near Indian Gardens Park on the banks of the Des Plaines River. It was built in 1928 as an overnight retreat for Boy Scouts. It is now owned by the village of Riverside and is operated and maintained by the Parks and Recreation Department. It is used as day camp location and Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts use it as a place to hold meetings. It also is available for rent to private groups. Overnight stays are not permitted.

Wrong-way driver slapped with felony DUI Orlando A. Coronel, 29, of Chicago, faces felony drunken driving charges after reportedly driving the wrong way down First Avenue in Riverside, forcing other vehicles to take evasive action on June 15 around 2:20 p.m. Police initially responded to a 911 call reporting a reckless driver headed southbound on First Avenue from Ridgewood Road. The vehicle, a black SUV, was driving southbound in the northbound lanes, the caller reported, forcing other cars off the roadway. Using an air horn and sirens, Lyons and Riverside police were able to stop the SUV, allegedly driven by Coronel, near Ogden Avenue. As an officer approached the SUV to interview Coronel, he reportedly threw a beer can out of the passenger side window. Inside Coronel’s vehicle, police reported finding 24 empty beer cans and bottles, in addition to a cooler full of ice and beer-bottle caps. When asked how much he had to drink, Coronel reportedly told police, “one beer.” Coronel’s blood-alcohol content was .12, police said, which is more than the legal limit of .08. At the time of his arrest, Coronel’s driver’s license was suspended, according to police. He was charged with felony driving under the influence, driving while suspended and illegal transportation of open alcohol in addition to several traffic offenses. Police have filed paperwork to seize Coronels’ SUV, according to a press release.
Drugs stolen from CVS Someone broke a cabinet lock to steal more than $1,600 in over-the-counter medications from CVS, 9139 Broadway Ave. in Brookfield, sometime prior to June 20, when the theft was discovered while checking inventory. Forty-eight boxes of various allergy medicines were stolen from the locked cabinet, which is in a regular store aisle and accessible to customers.

DUI arrestee hospitalized A man found unresponsive in his 1998 Toyota Camry in an alley north of the 8800 block of 47th Street on June 23 was transported to LaGrange Hospital for treatment of severe intoxication, according to police. Police responded to the scene at about 8:50 p.m. after someone called to report that he could not wake up the passed-out 57-year-old driver of the Toyota, who still had his foot on the gas of his car, which was in park but was smoking from the engine revving. An officer was able to rouse the driver and remove the keys from the ignition. Police also reported finding an empty vodka bottle on the
passenger side floorboard. According to the police report, the driver’s blood-alcohol content was .305, which is almost four times the legal limit of .08. In addition to DUI, police charged the driver with improper parking, no proof of vehicle insurance and illegal transportation of open alcohol.
Unwanted subject Brookfield police responded to the 9500 block of Garfield Avenue on June 20 at about 5:30 p.m. after a resident called to report an unknown man swinging on a swing in the backyard of her home. When police arrived, they confronted the 26-year-old Brookfield man, who appeared to be highly intoxicated, at the back door of the house, talking to the homeowner. The homeowner told police the man had also asked to use the bathroom. The man was so intoxicated that paramedics ended up transporting him to Loyola University Medical Center for treatment.
Vehicle break-ins North Riverside police reported two burglaries to vehicles in the same area on June 18. A resident of the 2900 block of Lincoln Avenue called police to report that someone had entered her unlocked vehicle overnight and removed a bank passbook for a business account. Meanwhile, a resident of the 8000 block of Edgewater Road reported that someone entered her vehicle, which likely was unlocked, and removed a purse containing a wallet, debit cards, identification cards, a handicappedparking placard and $100 in cash.
Bench taken from yard A resident of North Cowley Road in Riverside contacted police on June 24 at about 8:15 p.m. to report that someone had stolen a green park bench from the front yard of her home. The last time, the homeowner saw the bench intact was on June 22, but a week earlier she noticed that the bench had been moved from its spot, though it had not been taken at that time. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, June 1524, 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 staffers donate sick time to ill colleague
Fellow employees have gifted 6 months to cancer-stricken cop By BOB UPHUES Editor
In May, Riverside police officers inked an agreement with the village that allows them each to donate up to 64 hours of accrued sick time to fellow officer Chris Kudla, who is battling Stage 4 renal cancer. Village Manager Jessica Frances last month also opened up the sicktime donation effort to all non-union employees, and on June 21 the village’s board of trustees approved an agreement with union public works employees to do the same. Public Works Superintendent Kevin Kuratko, who is not a member of the union, said rank-and-file employees came to him after learning about the police union’s agreement, asking whether they could follow suit. There are eight public works employees represented by Service Employees International
Union (SEIU) Local 73. The public works union’s sick-day donation agreement mirrors the police union’s. To date, according to Frances, village employees have donated more than 900 hours of sick time to Kudla, a little less than six months in all. Police, who are Kudla’s closest colleagues and comprise one the village’s biggest departments, account for about 730 of those hours. The sick time bank is tracked by the Riverside finance department, and sick time donated to Kudla is permanently removed from the donors’ sick-time bank and can’t be counted toward their own retirement payouts. “The fantastic thing is everyone can together show how caring and incredibly generous our staff is,” Frances said. “They recognize that helping one of their fellow employees is huge.”

With the approval of the public works agreement, every Riverside village employee can now participate in the effort to help Kudla, who remains an active, full-time employee despite being diagnosed with cancer back in late 2016 after feeling a lump near his collarbone. He has been undergoing chemotherapy for about the past five months and the days after his treatments are difficult, often requiring him to take a couple of days off to recover. But he’s always been back on the streets, in uniform, afterward. “I don’t know that I could do what he does,” said Police Chief Thomas Weitzel. “I know he’s hurting. It’s to his credit.” Kudla, 46, has kept well-wishers abreast of his journey through treatment via updates on a GoFundMe website (www.gofundme. com/believe-chris-kudlas-medical-
BOB UPHUES/Editor
Riverside Police Officer Chris Kudla fund) created last December by his sister, Alyceson, to help pay for the exorbitant medical bills. Since the online fundraiser began, more than 360 people have donated roughly $40,500, with donations still coming in. About a month ago on the website, Kudla wrote that his family had moved into a smaller home to keep expenses and upkeep down, revealing that because the chemotherapy medication is special, he has to pay $3,000 for each treatment. When he decides to go on disabil-
ity, he’ll get 50 percent of his pay, but no benefits. While Kudla is in his mid 40s, he’s only been a police officer in Riverside for a little more than a year. “My wife and I have been contemplating making a stop [from working] for a while now, and we may be near that time once we settle in the new house,” Kudla wrote. To help Kudla further, the Riverside police union held a fundraiser in May at The Max in McCook. That event raised more than $15,000 to help Kudla in his battle.

Brookfield’s planner resigns to take new job After three years, Emily Egan heads to Elmhurst
By BOB UPHUES Editor
Brookfield is in the market for a new village planner after Emily Egan announced that she’s leaving for a new post in the city of Elmhurst at the end of June. Egan, who has served as Brookfield’s planner since 2015, submitted her letter of resignation last week; her last day on the job will be June 29. She’s been hired as Elmhurst’s assistant city planner. “It has been a true pleasure and honor to work for the village of Brookfield the past three years,” Egan wrote in her resignation letter. “I am extremely proud of the projects I have worked on with the community.” Elmhurst City Planner Eileen Franz said the position in that municipality opened up due to the retirement of a longtime planner. Franz, who has been in Elmhurst for four years, was promoted to lead planner and Egan has been hired for a newly created position. “We thought she’d be a great fit,” Franz said of Egan. As a newly minted planner out of the urban planning and policy master’s program
at University of Illinois-Chicago, Egan joined the village at a time when it was undertaking a number of important planning initiatives. Egan, 35, had a hand in efforts such as the Station Area Zoning Modernization, and played an important role in the village’s Active Transportation Plan and its comprehensive plan, adopted by the village board last year. “Those projects are really something I care about and I am proud of having worked on them,” said Egan in an interview with the Landmark. The city of Elmhurst recently adopted a new downtown plan, said Franz, and is starting to work on implementation, in addition to sub-area plans and other zoning changes. “Emily’s experience in Brookfield was very appealing to us,” Franz said. Egan dealt closely with the Brookfield Planning and Zoning Commission, preparing reports and making recommendations on development applications, both residential and commercial. “The experiences I’ve had with the [Planning and Zoning Commission] will continue to inform my professional work for decades
to come,” Egan wrote in her resignation letter. “It is not only my opinion, but those of professional planners across the region, that Brookfield’s Planning and Zoning Commission is truly exceptional.” In addition, Egan authored and co-authored a number of successful grant applications, including grants to improve the area in and around the Prairie Avenue train station, a grant to bring covered bike shelters to the Prairie and Congress Park Metra stops, a grant for HD surveillance cameras for key areas of the village, and Community Development Block Grant applications. “Any planner that’s going to be coming in to Brookfield is very lucky,” Egan said. “I think a lot of people are going to be interested in this position.” Village President Kit Ketchmark wished Egan well in her new job, saying it was a good opportunity for her to advance her career as a planner. “She jumped right into things here, and I think she was pretty well received by the residents,” Ketchmark said. “I’m glad she started out here.” Ketchmark said the village likely won’t begin the process of replacing Egan until
a new village manager has been hired. The village has been without a full-time manager since the latter part of March, when Keith Sbiral resigned. The search for his replacement is well under way, said Ketchmark. The list of candidates is down to 11 people and includes male and female professionals with varied backgrounds, including both public- and private-sector experience. A couple of the candidates live out of state. In the short term, said Ketchmark, personnel in the village’s community and economic development department will pick up some of Egan’s duties. The village’s longtime consultant B&F Technical Code Services will also continue to augment internal plan review. Asked if the changes afoot within the village manager’s office had anything to do with the timing of her search for a post elsewhere, Egan said the departure of the man who hired her was not a factor. “I think with government work there’s always change happening,” Egan said. “I would have been excited to work with whoever comes in. It was a coincidence on the timing.”
D96 board votes to demo home near Ames
Despite high cost, need for outdoor space a key factor By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter
The house at 92 Repton Road in Riverside next to Ames School will be demolished this summer. The Riverside Elementary School District 96 Board of Education voted 4 to 3 on June 20 to demolish the house despite being shocked at the high cost of demolishing the home. The board voted to accept a bid from McDonnough Demolition to take down the home for $87,100. That was one of only two bids the district received for the work and was $1,900 less than the other bid. The three board members who voted against accepting the bid, President Jeff Miller, finance committee chairman Rich Regan and board member Joel Marhoul, wanted to wait and seek other bids in the hope of getting a lower price. A year ago, the board thought that it would only cost approximately $35,000 to demolish the house, which the district bought out of foreclosure in late 2016 for $399,100. “This is a shocking increase,” Regan said before the vote. “In my opinion, there is no
need for us to vote on this tonight.” But the board members who voted to accept the bid, David Barsotti, Dan Hunt, Shari Klyber and Lynda Murphy, decided that they wanted to make sure the house was demolished this summer so the lot could be used for green space during the upcoming school year. “While I know it’s an expensive price to pay, I think the value of the green space outweighs it especially when construction is probably two years ago,” Murphy said after the vote. Eight contractors obtained bid documents for the demolition, but only two contractors returned bids. McDonnough will tear down the house, garage and deck and remove the foundations, site utilities, concrete steps and pathways. After the house is demolished, grass will be planted or sod laid. Asbestos abatement will account for about 25 percent of the cost of the demolition. The district bought the abandoned house in 2016 with the intention of demolishing it and using the land to build some kind of addition to Ames School, or less likely, a separate building. The district also wanted to increase the
92 Repton, Riverside amount of green space around Ames. Currently during recess Ames students play on school’s asphalt parking lot. The district’s architect is working on conceptual drawings for possible additions to Ames School. Those drawings will be presented to the school board at its July 18 meeting, and members of the public are invited to attend the meeting and weigh in on the possibilities presented. The district’s facilities advisory committee has been having visioning sessions to develop ideas and wishes for the new space. The architect has also met with Ames staff and students to learn about how the cur-
rent building is used and what the greatest needs are. More classroom space is almost certain to be one element presented as Ames is perhaps the most cramped school in the district and increasing enrollment across the district is a concern for district officials. If the board can agree on a plan quickly, it is possible construction could take place during the summer of 2019, but board members seem to feel that starting construction in 2020 is a more realistic possibility. Superintendent Martha Ryan-Toye said that the demolition of the home should take place within 30 to 45 days.

Riverside congregation recognized as ‘welcoming’ church Ascension Lutheran promotes inclusion for all sexual orientations
By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter
Ascension Lutheran Church in Riverside is now officially a welcoming church for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. At its congregational meeting on May 20, church members unanimously voted to adopt a welcoming statement. “We welcome and affirm everyone regardless of age, race or culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or relationship status,” the church’s welcoming statement says in part. The vote came after more than a year of discussing the issue. “We devoted a lot of time and energy to kind of laying the groundwork and meeting with people and talking about it,” said Rev. Chris Honig, the pastor of Ascension Lutheran Church. “We were really open about what we were doing,” Honig, 32, came to Ascension in September 2016. Ascension has CHRIS HONIG been recognized Pastor of Ascension as a Reconciling in Lutheran Church Christ welcoming church by Reconciling Works, a national organization that works for promote inclusion for those of all sexual orientations in Lutheran churches. “We welcome Ascension Lutheran Church to the Reconciling in Christ family,” said Aubrey Thonvold, the executive director of Reconciling Works, in a press release. “It is with love we are called to welcome all God’s children into our congregations, com-

We thank Ascension for being an active member working for reconciliation and growth within the church so people of all sexual orientations and gender identities can share a lived experience of love, welcome, and family.” Honig said that formal adoption of the welcoming statement was an important
step for the church. “This is just a way for us to kind of deepen and expand our vision for ministry,” Honig said. “It’s one to say that we are a welcoming church, but to actually talk about what that means in a packet I think is something entirely different.” Honig said the church will look for ways
to make an impact in the community, mentioning working for better polices for transgendered youth in local school districts. Ascension Church, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, has about 380 members, 150 of whom are engaged with the church on a regular basis, said Honig.
the dignity and respect they deserve,” said Bruce Kelley, editor-in-chief of Reader’s Digest in a press release. Tina Valentino, who produces the village’s official quarterly newsletter, the North Riversider, put together the village’s submission for the contest in collaboration with Village Clerk Kathy Ranieri and village hall administrative assistant Sherri Belmonte. Valentino said finding out about the contest was kind of a fluke. She gets regular emails from Reader’s Digest and often skips over them, but the subject headline for a “nicest place” made her click it. “When I read it, there was never a doubt in my mind it’d have to be North Riverside,” said Valentino, a Melrose Park resident who has been doing the village newsletter for about a decade.
Valentino said the application process was involved. In addition to writing her pitch, she included links and had a lengthy followup interview with a contest official. “I felt like I was writing a grant application,” Valentino said. At the heart of Valentino’s pitch for North Riverside is the village’s Neighborhood Services Committee, formed in 1992 and coordinated since that time by resident Carol Spale. “For more than 25 years, the town’s mantra has been to do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” wrote Valentino in her submission. “It has changed lives, including my own – and I don’t even live there. I wish I did.” Included as part of the submission were stories and links attesting to the effective-
ness of the Neighborhood Services Committee and its block captain program as well as Belmonte’s account of the support she witnessed during the 2013 flood, when scores responded to a social media post asking for volunteers to help fill sandbags along 19th Avenue. In selecting North Riverside as one of their 10 finalists, Reader’s Digest editors remarked that the village “literally wrote the book on being nice,” referring to the Neighborhood Services Committee’s handbook, “Neighbors All: Creating Community One Block at a Time,” published in 2011. “It’s a much bigger deal than I thought it was,” said Valentino after seeing the 10 finalists announced on “Good Morning America” on June 20. “This whole thing has been kind of exciting.”

Michigan auto group buys North Riverside dealership McCarthy Ford sold less than two years after acquisition By BOB UPHUES Editor
When South Side car dealers Ray and John LeFevour bought Joe Rizza Ford in North Riverside back in early 2017 and changed it to McCarthy Ford, they were bullish about the area and its potential. “We love the location,” said John LeFevour at the time, calling the purchase a kind of homecoming, since the family hailed from the near west suburbs. On June 25 the LeFevours sold the dealership to Zeigler Automotive Group, a Kalamazoo, Michigan-based company that’s been expanding its footprint in the Chicago area. The dealership at 2100 Harlem Ave. reopened on June 26 under the name Zeigler Ford of North Riverside. The Rizza Auto group still owns the roughly 7-acre parcel land that the dealership occupies. Rizza purchased the property at the corner of
Cermak Road and Harlem Avenue for his namesake Ford dealership in 1978. Zeigler Automotive Group has 26 locations in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. In February, the company bought the Grossinger Autoplex in Lincolnwood and its acquisition of McCarthy Ford gives Zeigler a dozen Chicago-area locations. “We feel that this store has great potential,” said Aaron Zeigler, president of Zeigler Automotive Group in a press release on June 22 announcing the acquisition of the North Riverside dealership. “With everything we know about this business and with the community’s support, we can really make this a successful store.” The press release states that the McCarthy Ford staff will remain on board, but Val Kholodovsky was being brought in as general manager. North Riverside Mayor Hubert Hermanek Jr. said that he was privately told a couple of months ago that a sale might be coming,

CH-CH-CHANGES: After a little more than a year in North Riverside, McCarthy Ford has been purchased by Michigan-based Zeigler Automotive Group, as that dealer expands its footprint in the Chicago area. but that he didn’t learn of the closing until Monday. According to Hermanek, the owners of McCarthy Ford were not looking to sell the North Riverside dealership. Rather, Zeigler Automotive group came to them and “gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse.” John LeFevour did not respond to a voicemail from the Landmark seeking comment on the sale of McCarthy Ford in North Riverside. The details of the sale were not made publicly available. Zeigler Automotive Group, according to
the company’s press release, was founded in 1976 and is one of the largest privately held auto groups in the nation with 71 franchises in its 26 Midwest locations. It ranks among the top 1 percent of auto dealers in the nation, according to the press release. Hermanek said he was told Zeigler may look to double the inventory at the North Riverside dealership. “This is positive news all around and bodes well for the village,” Hermanek said. “I’m excited about such a large, well-run place over there.”

District 102 hires Congress Park assistant principal District also names new special ed program leader
By BOB UPHUES
Also on June 18, Superintendent Kyle Schumacher introduced Terry Sofianos as District 102’s new assistant superintendent for special education. She’ll replace Joyce Powell, who has served in that role for four years. Sofianos, who was selected from a field of three finalists, will start July 1. According
to Schumacher, the hiring committee included parents and teachers from each school in the district, as well as administrators. “Her ability to connect with parents and teachers as she considers ways to TERRY SOFIANOS best meet the needs of our students receiving special services made her the top choice,” said Schumacher in a press release. Sofianos comes to District 102 after serving for two years as director of pupil services as Avoca School District 37 in Wilmette. She has been an administrator since 2011 after starting her career as a classroom teacher and special education resource in Glenview in 1990. The Chicago resident’s starting salary will be $138,000.

Baer also hinted that in not being able to extend rentals to 180 days a year, it might change their attitude toward using their home as a rental in the future. “It’ll probably impact our decision making for 2019, because maybe this is a half-baked idea and maybe Riverside isn’t a community that should have [vacation rentals],” he said. Village President Ben Sells said the village board’s intent in passing vacation rental rules that allowed the practice by right and fairly simple standards regarding occupancy was to encourage the creation of local retreats where couple and families could discover Riverside and patronize its businesses. Trustees really hadn’t contemplated what’s happening over on Michaux Road. Sells, who said he also had not heard complaints about the Baers’ rentals until last week, suggested vacation rentals would be more tightly controlled in the future. “In retrospect I think that this should have been a special use and not a permitted use so that the neighbors would have been contacted directly and allowed to have a chance to speak up front,” said Sells. “This board will be interested in revisiting the bed-and-breakfast and the vacation rental ordinances, because obviously things that are taking place are not sufficient to protect the residents.”

RENTALS
‘Never my intent’ from page 1 and Donna Baer, dropped the request seeking to rent their Michaux Road mansion for up to 180 days a year. Trustees were unlikely to approve the request in any event. The village’s law allows vacation rentals to operate no more than 60 nights a year. “I did not know my neighbors were upset with me,” said Donna Baer, who along with her husband said they had not received any complaints from neighbors or the village since beginning to rent out their six-bedroom home in the fall of 2017. “I want to apologize,” she said. “This was never my intent.” The Baers told their neighbors and members of the village board that their intent in making their 5,000-square-foot home a vacation rental was to fulfill the wishes of local officials when they passed the licensing law in 2017 – to bring people and their money to town to help the village’s economy. “We were just hoping to share the village’s vision of sharing Riverside with the rest of the world,” Donna Baer said. Neighbors were not convinced, pointing out that the Baers, whose home is listed on the website VRBO.com, were marketing the place not as a quiet retreat but as an event venue.
The former personal trainer, sous chef and restaurant manager switched careers to education about a decade ago. He’s been principal of Barbour Two-Way Language Immersion School in Rockford for the past three years. His experience in dual-language education will be useful at Congress Park, which started such a program in 2017-18 for kindergartners and will be expanding it one grade each year.

Opinion
THE LANDMARK VIEW
Can’t escape law of unintended consequences
O
ne law you can always count on is the law of unintended consequences. Back in 2016 when the Riverside Village Board passed a new law allowing vacation rentals to be licensed in town, there was some thought that the village was being a little harsh. Because what’s the harm in someone renting out their two-bedroom condo a few nights out of the year and allowing out-of-towners to discover the wonders of Riverside? The village board, while requiring vacation rentals to be licensed, did away with a provision in the code that also required operators to obtain a special use permit. Getting a special use permit is a formal procedure, complete with notification to nearby homeowners and a public hearing, where people for and against can enter testimony for the public record. So it’s kind of a pain, and also costs some money. For a couple of cute Airbnb’s? Didn’t seem worth the effort. And then the first licensed vacation rental in the village actually turns out to be The Greenbrier. We’re exaggerating, of course, but the reality for folks who live on Michaux Road is that instead of a home on the block being used by couples wanting a fancy, quiet weekend getaway, they got a full-blown event venue – for weddings, family reunions, corporate sales team retreats. The online listing encourages “small” events. But “small” is a matter of opinion, and the village’s rules for occupancy, based on square footage, meant the home could accommodate up to 21 people. So, the online ad for the rental property encouraged people to bring a crowd. How was this was not going to cause friction within the neighborhood? Last week, the neighbors collectively held an intervention at a village board meeting where trustees were to consider allowing the owners of the vacation rental to double the number of nights they were allowed to operate. The owners were stunned, since they hadn’t been confronted about any problems. While that’s understandable, it’s equally understandable that no one wants to start a war with their next-door neighbor, especially when they are confronting a brand new reality and are unsure exactly how far the thing is going to go. But confrontation is easier in numbers, and the collective voice of the neighborhood was made known. So, now the village board will go back to the drawing board and is likely to tweak rules on occupancy and rules for what events vacation rentals can and can’t host. We’d also bet the village is going to reintroduce the special use permitting process. Of course, we’re sure that action will also result in unintended consequences – most likely Airbnb locations that operate under the radar, without licenses.

Gangware honored as 2018 Person of the Year
‘H
umbled” was the word Frank Gangware used when informed that he was going to be honored as the 2018 Riverside Person of the Year by the Riverside Township Lions Club. Gangware, a Riverside resident for over 30 years, was chosen for his many years of volunteerism to the community and the Riverside Presbyterian Church. Among many his many years of service, Gangware has been active with the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. He was a driving force in recreation within the village, serving for many years on the Riverside Recreation Board and helping guide it through some rough times. He volunteered as a coach for baseball and softball teams and took time to be on the Riverside Little League’s board of directors. A member of the Riverside Township Lions Club, Gangware is currently one of the club’s directors. He and his wife, Claire, also enjoy getting dressed up go dancing as members of the Riverside Dancing Club. He is an active member of Riverside Presbyterian Church, serving on its Board of Elders and the Board of
Deacons. The Riverside Person of the Year is chosen by a committee of Lions Club members who seek out and review nominations for the honor. Nominees need not be Lions Club members; any organization or individual may submit an individual for consideration. Names may be presented to the Lions Club any time during the year and are kept for review. Selection of the winner occurs in the spring and the announcement is now made at a Riverside Village Board meeting. Gangware’s duties as Person of the Year are simple and enjoyable. He will ride in Riverside’s Fourth of July parade and he will be honored at a dinner at the Riverside Golf Club after Labor Day. The date has not been set, but the date and ticket information will soon be announced. “I feel undeserving to be part of it,” said Gangware, but that type of statement shows why Frank Gangware is deserving to be Riverside’s Person of the Year for 2018. Sharing in the joy of the honor is Gangware’s wife, Claire, and their children Caroline, William and Louise. For more information on the dinner or the Lions Club contact me at ko5ey1@ameritech.net.

Lois Sheehan, 79 Hospice volunteer Lois A. Sheehan (nee Klein), 79, of LaGrange Park and formerly of Riverside, died on June 23, 2018. She was born on July 18, 1938 in Chicago. Family remember her as a vibrant, beautiful force that lived life to the fullest. She would say her greatest achievement would be the seven children she raised. Ms. Sheehan was a talented lady who loved to sing and dance. Some may remember her starring in “Mame” many years ago with the Riverside Theater Guild. She cherished being part of the St. Mary’s variety shows with her late husband, Jack, taking on numbers like “Honey Bun” from “South Pacific” and “Sue Me” from “Guys and Dolls,” to name just two. The past several years Ms. Sheehan was an active, independent resident at Plymouth Place. She volunteered whenever she could, supporting those in need with her hospice work and through the church as a Catholic worship deacon. She touched so many lives with her warmth, vivaciousness and humor.

2018 TAX LAW PART VI
Alternative minimum tax The alternative minimum tax (AMT) was implemented to ensure that high-income Americans paid their fair share of taxes, regardless of how many deductions they could claim. Essentially, higher-income households need to calculate their taxes twice-once under the standard tax system and once under the AMT -and pay whichever is higher. The problem is that the AMT exemptions
weren’t initially indexed for inflation, so over time, the AMT started to apply to more and more people, including the middle class, which it was never intended to affect. So, the tax reform bill permanently adjusts the AMT exemption amounts for inflation in order to address this problem, and makes them significantly higher initially in 2018. Here’s how the AMT exemptions are changing for 2018.
Tax Filing Status 2017 AMT Exemption Amount 2018 AMT Exemption Amount Married filing jointly $84,500 $109,400 Married filing separately $42,250 $54,700

Sports Editor
mery Lehman and Alec Cabacungan stole the show at the fourth annual Night of Champions on June 20 at Dominican University. Night of Champions honors the achievements of elite high school teams, athletes and coaches from Riverside-Brookfield, Lyons Township, Fenwick, Nazareth Academy, Oak Park and River Forest, and Proviso East. Lehman, a two-time Olympic speed skater and OPRF alumnus, talked about overcoming adversity to realize his dreams as the featured speaker of the evening. “Emery is a great motivational speaker,” said Fiona Giradot, who won Female Athlete of the Year along with OPRF softball teammate Maeve Nelson. “I enjoyed listening EMERY LEHMAN to his experience and how he dealt Olympic speedskater with adversity. He was a great example for all the athletes at Night of Champions.” Lehman, who also enjoys playing hockey and lacrosse, signed autographs, took photos and greeted guests during the reception at Night of Champions. “It was a great event and I was glad to be a part of it,” he said. Cabacungan, who has osteogenesis imperfecta or “brittle bones disease,” earned the honor of Most Inspirational at Night of Champions. Although Cabacungan could not attend the awards party, he gave a heartfelt acceptance speech via video from the NHL awards in Dallas. Cabacungan, an OPRF student and spokesman for Shriners Hospital, is an aspiring sports broadcaster. He often travels around the country appearing at various professional sports games, events and awards parties, while also spending time and interviewing sports celebrities like Brett Favre, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley. His appearance on “Inside the NBA on TNT” was shown at Night of Champions. The audience loved the 5-minute clip which showed Cabacungan trading jokes and NBA knowledge with hosts Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, O’Neal and Barkley. When Barkley heard Cabacungan is from Chicago, the former NBA great asked their studio guest, ‘You know the Bulls suck, right?’ Cabacungan replied with a sheepish grin and said yes. That exchange elicited laughter from the approximately 400 guests at Night of Champions. Along with Lehman and Cabacungan, several honorees

LEGAL NOTICE VILLAGE OF NORTH RIVERSIDE CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT Public Water Supply For The Monitoring Year 2017 June, 2018 Dear North Riverside Water Customer: The Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) rule requires all community water systems to provide reports to their customers on the quality of their drinking water. The Village of North Riverside, in conjunction with the City of Chicago and Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), is providing the required information pertaining to source water monitoring for the period January 2017 through December 2017. The Village of North Riverside has provided water that meets all the requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) drinking water standards. The following reports are being provided to help you better understand the quality of the water you consume and use on a daily basis. Consumers with medical conditions may use the water quality analysis provided or request a City of Chicago complete water analysis, to consult with their family doctors. Others may learn ways to better protect their children from the effects of lead in our environment, or how to conserve water in our daily lives. A well-informed consumer is the best ally the Village has in providing clean, safe water to its customers. If there are any questions, or if additional information is needed, please contact Ed Durec, Water Operator, at (708) 762-5892. Sincerely, Ed Durec Water Superintendent Water Supply: The Village of North Riverside purchases Lake Michigan potable water from the City of Chicago via the Brookfield-North Riverside Water Commission. City of Chicago water treatment facilities chemically treat and filter the water from Lake Michigan. Once the Water Commission receives the potable water, the water is re-chlorinated to safeguard its quality. As a potable water supplier, the City of Chicago constantly monitors water quality and publishes laboratory results. Copies are public record and can be requested. For more information, water quality reports can be obtained from the City of Chicago, the Brookfield-North Riverside Water Commission and the Water Department of the Village of North Riverside. Water Commission meetings are conducted every second Wednesday of each month at the Water Commission Offices located at 8636 Brookfield Avenue, Brookfield, Illinois 60513. Information can be obtained by contacting Ed Durec, Water Operator or Tim Kutt, Director of Public Works. Copies of this report will not be mailed to each customer but are available by telephoning the Water Department at (708) 762-5885. Water Quality: The Illinois EPA considers all surface water sources of community water supply to be susceptible to potential pollution problems. The very nature of surface water allows contaminants to migrate into the intake with no protection only dilution. This is the reason for mandatory treatment for all surface water supplies in Illinois. Chicago’s offshore intakes are located at a distance that shoreline impacts are not usually considered a factor on water quality. At certain times of the year, however, the potential for contamination exists due to wet-weather flows and river reversals. In addition, the placement of the crib structures may serve to attract waterfowl, gulls and terns that frequent the Great Lakes area, thereby concentrating fecal deposits at the intake and thus compromising the source water quality. Conversely, the shore intakes are highly susceptible to storm water runoff, marinas and shoreline point sources due to the influx of groundwater to the lake. Throughout history, there have been extraordinary steps taken to assure a safe source of drinking water in the Chicagoland area. From the building of the offshore cribs and the introduction of interceptor sewers to the lock-and-dam system of Chicago’s waterways and the city’s Lakefront Zoning Ordinance. The city now looks to the recently created Department of the Water Management, Department of Environment and the MWRDGC to assure the safety of the city’s water supply. Also, water supply officials from Chicago are active members of the West Shore Water Producers Association. Coordination of water quality situations (i.e., spills, tanker leaks, exotic species, etc.) and general lake conditions are frequently discussed during the association’s quarterly meetings. Also, Lake Michigan has a variety of organizations and associations that are currently working to either maintain or improve water quality. Finally, one of the best ways to ensure a safe source of drinking water is to develop a program designed to protect the source water against potential contamination on the local level. Since the predominant land use within Illinois’s boundary of Lake Michigan watershed is urban, a majority of the watershed protection activities in this document are aimed at this purpose. Citizens should be aware that everyday activities in an urban setting might have a negative impact on their source water. Efforts should be made to improve awareness of storm water drains and their direct link to the lake within the identified local source water area. A proven best management practice (BMP) for this purpose has been the identification and stenciling of storm water drains within a watershed. Stenciling along with an educational component is necessary to keep the lake a safe and reliable source of drinking water.
Village Testing: The Village of North Riverside tests the water supply for chlorine content on a daily basis to maintain the optimum levels for the consumers’ needs. On a monthly basis, bacteriological samples are taken. On a yearly basis, samples are submitted for Total Trihalomethane (TTHM) Analysis. Samples are also provided for lead and copper monitoring on a schedule established by the IEPA. All testing and reports are performed according to the requirements of IEPA. A copy of the IEPA Water Quality Report for the Village of North Riverside and City of Chicago are included later in this report. Violations: The Village of North Riverside Water Supply met all standards set by the EPA. No violations occurred during this period. Educational Information: 1) Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). 2) In Order to ensure tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. 3) Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons, such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). 4) If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Village of North Riverside is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at http://www.epa.gov/ safewater/lead. 5) The Village of North Riverside recommends their customers follow the water conservation recommendations of the IEPA on sprinkling restrictions and restrict sprinkling to the hours between 6:00 am to 12:00 noon and 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm during the period of May 15 to September 15. Sources of Contamination: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • Microbial Contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. • Inorganic Contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. • Pesticides and Herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses. • Organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. • Radioactive Contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.
Turbidity – Regulated at the Water Treatment Plant – Information Statement: Turbidity is a measurement of the cloudiness of the water caused by suspended particles. We monitor it because it is a good indicator of water quality and the effectiveness of our filtration system and disinfectants.

LEGAL NOTICE VILLAGE OF NORTH RIVERSIDE CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT Public Water Supply For The Monitoring Year 2017 SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT SUMMARY Source Water Location The City of Chicago utilizes Lake Michigan as its source water via two water treatment plants. The Jardine Water Purification Plant serves the northern areas of the City and suburbs, while the South Water Purification Plant serves the southern areas of the City and suburbs. Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake that is entirely contained within the United States. It borders Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and is the second largest Great lake by volume with 1, 180 cubic miles of water and third largest by area. Source Water Assessment Summary The Illinois EPA implemented a Source Water Assessment Program (SW AP) to assist with watershed protection of public drinking water supplies. The SW AP inventories potential sources of contamination and determined the susceptibility of the source water to contamination. The Illinois EPA has completed the Source Water Assessment Program for our supply. Further information on our community water supply’s Source Water Assessment Program is available by calling the City of Chicago, Department of Water Management at 312-7446635. Susceptibility to Contamination The lllinois EPA considers all surface water sources of community water supply to be susceptible to potential pollution problems. The very nature of surface water allows contaminants to migrate into the intake with no protection only dilution. This is the rea son for mandatory treatment of all surface water supplies in Illinois. Chicago’s offshore intakes are located at a distance that shoreline impacts are not usually considered a factor on water quality. At certain times of the year, however, the potential for contamination exists due to wet-weather flows and river reversals. In addition, the placement of the crib structures may serve to attract waterfowl, gulls and terns that frequent the Great Lakes area, thereby concentrating fecal deposits at the intake and thus compromising the source water quality. Conversely, the shore intakes are highly susceptible to storm water runoff, marinas and shoreline point sources due to the influx of groundwater to the lake. Further information on our community water supply’s Source Water Assessment Program is available by calling the City of Chicago, Department of Water Management at 312-744 -6635. 2017 VOLUNTARY MONITORING The City of Chicago has continued monitoring for Cryptosporidium, Giardia and E. coli in its source water as part of its water quality
program. To date, Cryptosporidium has not been detected in these samples, but Giardia was detected in 2010 in one raw lake water sample collected in September 2010. Treatment processes have been optimized to provide effecti ve barriers for removal ofCryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts in the source water, effectively removing these organisms in the treatment process. By maintaining low turbidity through the removal of particles from the water, the possibility of Cryptosporidium and Giardia organisms getting into the drinking water system is greatly reduced . Also, in compliance with the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (L T2ESWTR) Round 2, the City of Chicago has continued the 24 months long monitoring program (April 20 I 5 through April 20 I 7), collecting samples from its source water once per month to monitor for Cryptosporidium, Giardia, E. coli and turbidity, with no detections for Cryptosporidium and Giardia reported so far. In 2017 , CDWM has also continued monitoring for hexavalent chromium, also known as chromium-6. USEPA has not yet established a standard for chromi um-6, a contaminant of concern which has both natural and industrial sources. Please address any questions or concerns to DWM’s Water Quality Division at 312-742-7499. Data reports on the monitoring program for chromium-6 are posted on the City’ s website which can be accessed at the following address below: http://www.cityofchicago.org/city /en/depts/water /supp info/water quality resultsandreports /city of chicago emergincontaminantstudy. html For more information, please contact Alan Stark, Managing Deputy Commissioner for the Bureau of Water Supply At 312-742-7499 Chicago Department of Water Management Bureau of Water Supply 1000 East Ohio Street Chicago, IL 60611 Attn: Alan Stark Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).
