She began her career as a lawyer. She grew up in Orland Park and graduated from University of Illinois at Chicago with a double major in English and political science and a minor in biology. After graduating she went to law school at Ohio State University and then returned to the Chicago area to practice law for five years, representing insurance companies. But she had been thinking about becoming a teacher ever since taking some secondary education courses for her English major during her senior year at UIC. After having her first child in 2001, Kristoff stopped working as a lawyer, enrolled in a teaching program at Dominican University and earned her master’s degree and teaching certification in 2006. Kristoff began her career in education teaching seventh and eighth grade at St. Alphonsus St. Patrick School in Lemont. She also taught fifth-grade English, language arts and science at the William B. Orenic Intermediate Center in Plainfield before moving on to teach science at Mokena Junior High School from 2008 to 2010. Kristoff said that the skills she developed as a lawyer have helped her as an educator. “The skills that I learned as an attorney carry over so readily,” Kristoff said. “One of the most important ones is being articulate, being able to communicate your point succinctly and learning how to do conflict resolution. Those skills would be invaluable in any field, but they’re particularly invaluable in education.” Kristoff, who is studying for doctorate in education and has received her superintendent’s endorsement, said that she hopes to stay at Lincoln School for a long time. “My goal is definitely to make Lincoln School my home,” Kristoff said. Kristoff received a one-year contract and will be paid $91,000 for the next school year. She doesn’t officially start at Lincoln until August.

Bi-monthly water billing mulled for Brookfield Brookfield likely will move its water/sewer billing policy from quarterly to bi-monthly in order to even out the flow of cash coming into the village’s coffers on a monthly basis. Finance Director Doug Cooper raised the possibility of moving to bimonthly water billing during a discussion about ways to ease the village’s cash-flow crunch at the village board’s committee of the whole meeting on June 11. “We are one of the few communities left on a quarterly billings system,” said Cooper. The cash flow related to water billing, said Cooper is “odd” because revenues collected each moth by the village are not equal. The village breaks up water billing into three zones, two on the north side of town and one on the south. The north side zones bring the village about $250,000 each time they’re billed, while the south side zone brings in about $450,000. “Just trying to juggle that money so I can pay the water bill, it’s very fluctuating and I’m always praying for a low water bill,” Cooper said. “It would be nice to make it a more steady revenue stream.” Cooper proposed combining the two north side zones into one, which would keep monthly water/sewers revenues much more even throughout the year. Moving to a bi-monthly billing system would also reduce individual water bills for residential customers, and also provide quicker clues to possible leaks, if bills go up. Village President Kit Ketchmark asked why not move to a monthly billing system, including the entire village in a single cycle. While Cooper said that could be investigated, it would be easier to spread the billing work out over two months instead of needing employees to process everyone’s bill every single month. — Bob Uphues

Riverside mulls future of streetcar shelter Preservation commissioners want more info before verdict

By BOB UPHUES Editor

A small piece of pre-1950 Riverside history may be in jeopardy unless the village decides it’s worth spending a bit of money to save something that’s rarely, if ever, used or even noticed. At the center of the story is a utilitarian wood shelter, painted brown with an asphaltshingle roof protecting benches on either side of a central partition. The shelter, on the south side of 26th Street just west of the 7-Eleven, appears to be a bus stop. While the shelter is, indeed, along Pace Route 304 connecting North Riverside and LaGrange, it’s not marked as an official stop and, because of its awkward location – the eastbound bus must get in the left-turn lane to go north on Harlem Avenue – it’s not really functional as a stop. Why is the little shelter there, then? Well, it’s vestige of the old Chicago and West Towns Railway streetcar line that used to follow the path now traversed by the bus route. The streetcar line used to run from the Western Electric Company plant on Cermak Road in Cicero and then wind through Berwyn, North Riverside, Riverside, Brookfield and

Brookfield to increase tree removals in 2018 About 300 diseased, damaged species coming down this summer

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Brookfield is ramping up the removal of ash trees and other diseased and damaged trees in 2018, awarding a $105,933 contract to Homer Tree Services to cut down about 300 trees this summer. Village trustees voted to approve the contract at their meeting last week, and crews from Homer Tree Service are expected to get to work June 20, said Public Works Director Amy Wagner. According to Wagner, the company said it can cut down all of the trees slated for removal in the span of a week. The company will also grind down all the stumps left by those

removals, according to the terms of the contract. “They want to get in fairly quickly,” Wagner said. “I’m not sure how doable [a week] is, but I’m pretty excited about getting this taken care of.” Most of the trees slated for removal are ash trees that have succumbed to the emerald ash borer. The ash borer surfaced in Brookfield in 2012 and devastated the village’s stock of ash trees, which at one time numbered between 1,200 and 1,300. According to Wagner, the rest of the diseased ash trees remaining on village parkways will be removed this summer. However, some ash trees will remain. White ash – the species whose leaves turn maroon and gold in

the fall – appear to be resisting emerald ash borer infestation. Those trees have not been marked for removal this year. The removals by Homer Tree Service will supplement those done in-house by public works’ forestry department. So far in 2018, the department’s four employees have taken down 40 trees, said Wagner. Back in March, Wagner recommended boosting the village’s budget for tree removals in 2018 to $100,000 by shifting dollars to that effort in place of trimming and spring planting. The village had fallen behind in its removals, and there are still many stumps from prior-year removals that remain in the ground. By boosting the amount earmarked for re-

movals by an outside firm, Wagner argued earlier this year, it would free up in-house staff to do tree trimming. Wagner said she hopes that later in the year, the village can extend its contract with Homer Tree Service to remove those stumps. “First we want to see how this contract goes and maybe have them come back later if they’ll honor their prices [for stump removal] next fall,” Wagner said. In 2017, the village hired Homer Tree Service to remove 142 trees and grind 350 stumps. The original contract that year was for $48,522 and was extended last fall by another $24,261. Also in 2017, Brookfield paid Bluder Tree Service $18,000 to do tree trimming and $30,000 to plant trees.

Local state rep named Chicago alderman Tabares will leave General Assembly to represent the 23rd Ward

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

State Rep. Silvana Tabares (D-21st District) will be leaving the state legislature soon to become the new alderman of Chicago’s 23rd Ward. On June 16, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that he had chosen Tabares to succeed Ald. Michael Zalewski, who is resigning after 23 years on the Chicago City Council. He is the father of Riverside state Rep. Mike Zalewski (D-23rd) Tabares’ appointment is expected to be

ratified by the city council on June 27, after which Tabares will resign as state representative. Tabares has served in the state legislature since 2013. She defeated Rudy Lozano Jr. in SILVANA TABARES a close and tough primary race in 2012 in a newly drawn district and has run unopposed since then.

The 21st Statehouse District runs from the southwest side of Chicago to Summit and includes the portion of Riverside that is south of the railroad tracks. After Tabares resigns from the state legislature, the Democratic ward and township committeemen of the 21st District will meet to select a replacement on the November general election ballot and to serve out the last six months of her term. That process should take about a month, said state Sen. Steve Landek, who is also the Lyons Township Democratic Committeeman. “We’re going to accept resumes, have

interviews, and then select somebody,” Landek said. Tabares was quoted in a press release issued by Emanuel that she is proud of her record in the General Assembly. “I have sought to protect working families and the neighborhoods they call home,” said Tabares. “It is an honor to continue this work as the 23rd Ward alderman, a role in which I will continue to fight for strong schools, safe streets and good jobs.” Prior to being elected to the General Assembly, Tabares was the managing editor of the bilingual newspaper, Extra.

Wounded Warrior Soldier Ride comes through June 21 The Wounded Warrior Project’s Soldier Ride, a three-day event where wounded veterans and service members join to help overcome their ordeals and support one another, will be coming through the Landmark’s coverage area again on June 21, the first day of the 2018 Chicago Area Soldier Ride. Soldiers will kick off the bicycle ride at 9:30 a.m. at Thatcher and Chicago avenues in River Forest and wind their way through Oak Park, Forest Park, North Riverside, LaGrange Park and Brookfield before concluding their ride by entering the South Gate of the Brookfield Zoo and pedaling to the Discovery Center. Residents are encouraged to come outside and encourage the riders as they pass by. The caravan of veterans on bikes will

make their way into North Riverside south on Desplaines Avenue from Cermak Road at about 11 a.m. They’ll turn west on 31st Street and will pedal all the way to Kemman Avenue/Grand Boulevard, which they’ll reach by about 11:25 a.m. The bicyclists will then travel southeast on Grand Boulevard to the Veterans Memorial Circle, where they’ll arrive at about 11:30 a.m., before heading eastbound on Washington Avenue to Golf Road and then north to the zoo’s South Gate. Riders are expected to reach the zoo by 11:40 a.m. Ladder trucks from the Riverside and Brookfield Fire Departments will form an arch from which a flag will hang. Riders will pass under the flag as they enter the zoo. — Bob Uphues

Donald Doneske, Riverside’s longest serving police chief, dies at 85 Led department for more than two decades during 41-year career

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Tom Weitzel remembers the first time he talked with Donald Doneske, the longtime former Riverside police chief who died June 13 at the age of 85. It was a personal interview in 1984 with Doneske in his office at the Riverside Police Department, the final step before being offered a job as a police officer. Doneske’s office was filled with plants. While peppering Weitzel with questions about why he wanted to join the department, the police chief moved around the room watering the pots. “He didn’t sit still the whole time,” said Weitzel, who would eventually become Riverside’s police chief himself, in 2007. While Doneske’s preoccupation with his plants might have struck Weitzel as curious at the time, he later learned that Doneske was interested in nurturing not just greenery, but his police department. “He wasn’t flashy,” Weitzel said. “But he didn’t need to be.” During a 41-year tenure with the Riverside Police Department – to this day the longestserving police employee the village has ever had – Doneske spent 21 years as chief of police, also a record for the village. In his time as chief, from 1973 until his retirement in 1994, Doneske oversaw a host of initiatives that remain important parts of the department today. “He was a little bit ahead of his time, in my opinion,” said Weitzel, who worked under Doneske’s supervision for the first decade of his career. Joseph DiNatale, the last of five village presidents under whom Doneske served, said the former chief pushed for advanced training for his officers well before it was fashion-

preceded her husband in death in 1985. Doneske’s love of tending to plants in his office was no accident. He was an avid gardener, said his daughter Robyn Bassett, particularly when it came to tomatoes. “He handed out tomatoes to everyone in town,” Bassett said. “It was his thing.” According to Bassett, Doneske’s relationship with his companion of 14 years, Martha Navarro, began with Doneske leaving tomatoes on her car outside of the Riverside restaurant where she worked. Navarro also survives Doneske. Doneske didn’t talk much about his job at home, Bassett said. “He was real low-key about his job,” she said. “He never brought the job home.” Bassett said the family thought it would be appropriate to bury Doneske in his police chief ’s uniform, but could not find it anywhere. As a last resort, they looked in a cabinet in the garage and, sure enough, they found a uniform. Only it wasn’t Doneske’s. It was a British constable’s uniform, given to him as a gift by the Norwich chief constable. Doneske’s funeral services, at his request, were private. He didn’t want the pomp and circumstance of a traditional police funeral, Bassett said. “He never really wanted the light on him,” Basset said. “He was a down-to-earth guy.” Doneske is also survived by four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Stickney, a half block from his home. Memorial donations in Doneske’s name are appreciated to the Illinois Police Association Scholarship Fund, 7508 W. North Ave., Elmwood Park, 60707. Arrangements were handled by The Original Kuratko Family Directors, Brian D. Kuratko and Ken Kuratko, directors.

Brookfield commissions computer model for water delivery Computer program can see how system responds to changes By BOB UPHUES Editor

Brookfield village trustees on June 11 voted unanimously to commission Hancock Engineering, its municipal civil engineering firm, to survey the village’s water delivery system and create a computer model to determine how it reacts to changes or would react to changes in the future. The study is separate from a recent leakdetection survey conducted this spring and focuses on improving water flow and pressure and can determine whether the system is capable of handling future large-scale development. “Information about the strain such things would put on the system or what’s

2-year contract from page 1 of South Florida and a bachelor’s degree in political science from Northern Illinois University. He earned his chief school business officer’s endorsement after starting to work for the Lyons Township TTO. The TTO manages funds and handles check writing and payroll for school districts located in Lyons Township and is governed by a three-person elected board, which unanimously voted to hire Getty. “He has grown since he has started working within the treasurer’s office and has improved internal and financial controls,” said trustee board president Mike Thiessen in a press release. “Our board has total confidence he will succeed as the next treasurer.” Another member of the board is Theron Tobolski, the brother of Cook County Commissioner and McCook Mayor Jeffrey Tobolski, who is a political ally of Christopher Getty. The political committees of both Tobolski and Getty donate to one another frequently, and Thiessen also has donated money frequently to Tobolski’s committee in the past. Birkenmaier, who has worked part-time as the treasurer for the last two years was hired in 2013. Her predecessor, Robert Healy, resigned after being charged with stealing more than $100,000 in school funds. In 2015, Healy pleaded guilty and was sentenced to nine years in prison.

needed in the future, we’re kind of guessing, because we don’t have the model in place,” said Brookfield Public Works Director Amy Wagner. Wagner, a civil engineer, said she used water system modeling extensively during her 11 years in the city of Lockport, which saw extensive development during that time. As Brookfield seeks to push redevelopment at places like DuBois Boulevard and Burlington Avenue, at the Brookfield Bowl site or in downtown Brookfield, a water system model would help the village understand the impact such developments would have on the water system. “Can the water system provide adequate fire flows?” asked Derek Treichel of Han-

Birkenmaier said she is retiring to have a greater focus on family, friends, and fun. She said that she thinks Getty Jr. will do a fine job as treasurer. “I think he’ll be an outstanding treasurer,” Birkenmaier said. “He has worked hard to secure all of his credentials, and my experience working with him has been absolutely positive. He throws himself into the work and he makes sure that everything is done right. There’s accountability and transparency and he will be an outstanding treasurer.” Getty Jr. brushed off suggestions that he was chosen for the job because of his political connections. “I come in every day and work very hard and very diligently,” Getty said. “I refuse to be distracted by those comments and I continue to work hard. “I know people will always say negative comments to try to rile me, but I’m very proud of the work I do and proud of the work we do at this office.” Birkenmaier said that Getty was chosen from a field of five finalists. In all 19 people applied for job and eight were qualified. State law requires that a school treasurer be either a certified public accountant or have an endorsement as the chief school business officer. The treasurer must also live in the township in which he is the school treasurer for. Getty received a two-year contract, which is mandated by state law, Birkenmaier said. His annual salary will be $140,000. Getty officially becomes township schools treasurer on July 1.

cock Engineering of a proposed residential development at Burlington and DuBois. “If not, we can model what we need to do.” Such a computer model would also be able to let village officials know if they need to undertake an expensive repair to a 6-inch water main on Prairie Avenue at the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad crossing, which broke during the winter. The water main passed underneath the railroad tracks, one of several such watermain crossings under the tracks. The village was unable to restore the main and chose to simply cap both ends to close the system. Repairing it would require boring a new hole under the tracks and inserting a new pipe, a job that officials estimate

would cost $100,000 or more. “It will allow us to determine if we can get by without the [Prairie water main] crossing or should we move that [water main] crossing to another location that’s better, hydraulically?” Treichel said. The village board awarded Hancock Engineering a $23,800 contract to build the computer model and then conduct field testing to verify the model once it’s built. It’ll take about four months to build the model of the village’s 60-mile long water service system, Treichel said. “The model will be useful for 10-plus years,” Treichel said. “If the village adds another 5,000 feet to the system, it’s not that expensive to update the model and run scenarios in the future.”

Law will allow LTHS to break with township school treasurer Lyons Township High School will eventually get its long-awaited wish to withdraw from the Lyons Township Treasurer’s Office. But before that can happen, a multimillion dollar lawsuit that the treasurer’s office, officially known as the Township Trustees of School, has filed against LTHS must be resolved. Last month, on the last day of the legislative session, both houses of the Illinois General Assembly passed a bill, without a single dissenting vote, that will allow LTHS District 204 to withdraw from the treasurer’s office once the claims from the lawsuit are resolved. Under the bill, LTHS could withdraw from the school treasurer’s office no earlier than July 1, 2019 and appoint its own treasurer. District 204 Superintendent Tim Kilrea expressed appreciation to the House and Senate sponsors of the bill, State Rep. Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) and State Sen. John Cullerton (D-Chicago), and all the legislators who helped get the bill passed. “They saw that it made sense and we’re very appreciative,” Kilrea said. “We think it’s good for our taxpayers, it’s good for our school district.” The bill is awaiting the signature of Gov. Bruce Rauner, to become law, but that is expected to be a formality.

LTHS has long wanted out from the treasurer’s office, saying it doesn’t use, need or want any of the services that the office provides. The lawsuit, filed in 2013, claims that for more than a decade LTHS didn’t pay its annual assessment to the treasurer’s office and seeks to recover $4.7 million that it says LTHS owes the office. The lawsuit has been slowly winding its way through Cook County Chancery Court. Township School Treasurer Susan Birkenmaier, says LTHS has turned down attempts to settle the case. “LT has not given us any indication that they want to talk,” Birkenmaier said. “That’s why we’re proceeding legally. They have been made offers that they’ve just kind of rebuffed and said, ‘You know, come back when you have a more serious offer.’ They don’t want to pay the bill.” LTHS officials are confident they are in the right and claim that they had an agreement to opt out of the services provided by the school treasurer’s office. The school treasurer’s office, commonly known as a TTO, is peculiar to Cook County, is mandated by state law and dates to 1819. TTOs manage and invest funds for school districts in its township. A few TTOs have been abolished by state law or referendum. — Bob Skolnik

LEAKS

$1 million loss from page 1 board in late May that the roughly 200 million gallons of water either unbilled or unaccounted for had cost the village about $1 million in 2017 alone. Records maintained by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which monitors water pumped from Lake Michigan to municipalities throughout northeast Illinois, showed that Brookfield’s water loss was more than 20 percent in 2015 and 2016, as well. “It’s mind-boggling to me that this has gone on so long,” said Wagner, who took over as Brookfield’s public works director in mid-September 2017. After seeing the 2017 water-loss report, Wagner asked then-Village Manager Keith Sbiral to hire a company to perform a leak-detection survey of the village’s water system to find out where the village’s water was going. Sbiral approved paying Valparaiso, Indiana-based M.E. Simpson Co. $11,000 to perform the survey, which the firm delivered in May. “For the amount of money we’re going to save to identify and take care of the leaks, that is money well-spent,”

said Wagner, who recommended to the village board that Brookfield conduct a leak-detection survey annually. Wagner also recommended that the village conduct fire hydrant maintenance/flow testing and water main capacity testing annually. That would cost the village roughly $17,000 each year. For another $2,000 the village can also get all of its hydrants entered into its GIS database, updating the Brookfield water atlas with actual hydrant locations. In its survey, Simpson identified 11 water main leaks scattered throughout the village in addition to 25 residential service line leaks, seven valve leaks and 16 hydrant leaks. Two of the water main leaks, in the 4500 block of Prairie Avenue and the 8900 block of Fairview Avenue, each were losing about 43,000 gallons a day. Other leaks ranged between 7,000 and almost 30,000 gallons a day. Not all of the unaccounted-for water is leaking out of the system. Some of the unbilled water is used at public facilities and buildings, is used to fight fires and powers such amenities the Ehlert Park splash pad (16 million gallons annually). But, according to Wagner, the maximum acceptable water loss level as set by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is 12 percent, and the agency is revising that number down to 10 per-

cent in 2019. In order to plug the leaks, the village in late May hired Brookfield-based Unique Plumbing on an emergency basis to immediately repair five of the worst leaks found in the Simpson survey. The three worst have already been repaired, and work on the other two began in early June. The total cost of that work, which will be formally approved by the Brookfield Village Board as the invoices come in, is expected to be about $23,000. Wagner said the village will address the rest of the leaks, including service line leaks, throughout the rest of the summer, repairing the worst ones first. Brookfield is not the only municipality reporting high water losses annually in recent years. According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources website, in 2016 (the most recent report available) there were 23 northeastern Illinois towns that reported water losses of 25 percent or greater. The two highest water-loss rates were reported by Maywood (48.7 percent) and Hometown (42 percent). Closer to home in 2016, Riverside’s reported water-loss rate was 20.4 percent, while North Riverside’s was 10.2 percent. Lyons’ water-loss rate was 33.2 percent, LaGrange Park was 9.1 percent, LaGrange was 24.3 percent and Berwyn was 28.6 percent.

Opinion

THE LANDMARK VIEW

You don’t say

olor us not exactly shocked to find out that the board of Lyons Township Trustees of Schools has chosen Kenneth Getty Jr. as its new treasurer. The board reportedly conducted a search and chose Getty from a field of five finalists. However, Getty’s eventual appointment to the post has been rumored since he was hired as a part-timer back in 2015. The evolution of his position from a special projects parttimer to director of finance and operations during his time with the office was a clear indication of where things were headed. And, of course, the office’s board isn’t exactly a neutral party when it comes to the Getty family. Board member Theron Tobolski is the brother of Jeffrey Tobolski, the Cook County commissioner and McCook mayor, who has over the years donated thousands of dollars to political committees connected to Kenneth Getty Jr.’s brother, Christopher – who is the village president of Lyons and the supervisor of Lyons Township. Political committees connected to Christopher Getty have returned the generosity of Tobolski. Board President Michael Thiessen has also been a frequent contributor to Tobolski’s political committee. So, while Getty Jr. himself may discount the help he received by being part of a wider political family, we’re guessing it sure didn’t hurt. Christopher Getty, apart from a setback in 2016, when his political organization lost control of the Lyons-Brookfield District 103 Board of Education, has consolidated power in the township. His brother’s hire – at $140,000 a year – as township schools treasurer is just the latest piece of the puzzle. For a small-town president, Christopher Getty has attracted vast sums of money for his own political committee, Citizens for Christopher Getty, and his political party’s committed, United Citizens Party. In the quarter that ended March 31, Citizens for Christopher Getty – in a year where there’s no local election – collected almost $157,000 and had about $230,600 to spend at the end of the reporting period. United Citizens Party had almost $123,600 available at the end of March. Beyond all that, the township schools treasurer is a vestige of 19th century Cook County and school districts in recent years have been fighting to rid themselves of the relationships, arguing they can do a better job of managing investments and payroll themselves. Their arguments are bolstered by past scandals involving township schools treasurers. In 2015, a former Lyons Township schools treasurer was sentenced to nine years in prison for stealing more than $100,000 from the office. The Cicero Township schools treasurer’s office was dissolved in 2007 after disputes and lawsuits over financial records the office was providing to school districts it served. Lyons Township High School has been trying to make the break with its township treasurer’s office for years, and has been embroiled in a drawn-out, expensive lawsuit that has done nothing but cost taxpayers money in legal fees. The Illinois General Assembly finally stepped into make that break possible, once the lawsuit is resolved. But what really needs to happen is for these offices to be done away with completely.

TRAIL CONDITIONS

A good, well-shaded place with a baby

he trail is cool in the shade. My wife and I have a baby boy and I’ve been home with him for a couple weeks. Our daytime routine includes regular stroller walks within North Riverside’s terrific Village Commons Park and, since the boy prefers being held to rattling along in the stroller, we’ve picked out a couple favorite park benches. The first sits to the south of the larger pond, beneath the sheltering and swaying canopy of a weeping willow. The other sits just past the scenic little footbridge in a pocket of shade and quiet. He sits upright on my lap, growing stronger and more alert, and we watch the wind in the trees and wind rippling over the surfaces of both ponds. We watch the time-lapse maturation of this year’s gosling and duckling populations -- teenagers today they were just hatchlings two months ago. We watch the parade of house sparrows and robins and grackles and starlings through the park pavilions and along its pathways. But sitting still and mostly quiet on our preferred perches, we see subtler dramas unfold inside the park. A common tern is a regular visitor, hovering over the larger pond. We see the bird one day plunge into the water and emerge with a beak full of koi. The fish kicks its tail but the tern has good purchase and the two are soon lifting back up into the sky, overhead and then up and past the trees. We, of course, see the navy of painted turtles that pa-

trols these ponds. The footbridge bench is good for turtlewatching and especially good for baby turtlewatching. The tiny, defiant reptiles like to sun on the stones along the bridge footings and are quick to duck back into the pond when noisy kids wheel by on their bikes and Rollerblades. One afternoon we watch the water at pond’s edge start to spurt and splash, and another goldfish fin comes flopping to the surface. It moves closer and closer to shore. Behind the fish, an adult painted turtle, moving like a vicious and masticating aquatic bulldozer, is chomping and killing and beaching the fish. “Son,” I say, “this is a pretty park but it’s hell on goldfish.” The boy sticks his hand in his mouth. Across the south pond, we see a flash of blue and black, a good-sized creature, swoop across the tree line and into a willow. We have a pacifier and a bottle and several blankets but no binoculars so we walk over and peer into the tree. Hunched on a branch overhead, we look at the bird and it looks back with red eyes. “That’s a black-crowned night heron,” I say to the boy in my arms. “I’m glad we saw that together.”

LETTERS

Remembering doc killed in Brookfield fire

Not exactly football weather

Early in the morning of Sunday, June 10, I lost a dear friend in a terrible Brookfield fire. Her name was SueEllen Colby. Her father was an Army Ranger. She said that the only time she saw him cry was on the day she graduated from medical school as an ophthalmologist — first in her class. Understandably, he was so filled with pride. She had an IQ of 157, could read a book in the time it took for someone to sneeze and retained it all. She had a small, frail body and had been beset by medical issues for over two decades. Her health problems caused her to give up her medical practice. She was a repository of medical knowledge that I cannot begin to comprehend. I work with veterans on medical claims. I called her almost every week for her perspective on some vet’s problems. After 20 years since practicing medicine, she would unhesitatingly spew more information than I could keep up with. Almost never were the questions about her specialty. The veterans in this area have unknowingly lost a very good friend. Her health necessitated frequent doctors’ visits. For every visit, she would bring “treats” for the office receptionist and office workers. She also made earrings out of semiprecious stones and would give the lovely earrings to them. Years ago, she had volunteered to go to India for a month and spent that month doing eye surgery for the poor. She was always thoughtful and considerate of the people around her and would often go out of her way to help in any way she could. Today, I wanted to share a little background on what an amazing person we lost when we lost Dr. Colby on Sunday, June10.

Thank goodness for the break in the excessive heat tonight (June 18). High school football athletes were practicing today at 3 p.m. at the Riverside-Brookfield Football Stadium. I question the adults at the high school and the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) that prepare guidelines and rules concerning summer football practices. It was 95 degrees with high humidity. The playing surface is synthetic. Unbiased reports have found surface temperatures of synthetic sports fields to rise to dangerous levels on days with excessive heat. The U.S. Weather Service had the region under an excessive heat warning. IHSA has guidelines governing many aspects of summer football activities, for example, the number of days, length of practices, types and number of scrimmages, restrictions on use of protective gear and prohibition of full contact (blocking and tackling). I enjoyed playing high school football but we were limited to practices starting in August and for no more than three weeks prior to the first September game. Some practices were in the morning at 7 a.m. and some were in the afternoon at 4. Water breaks were frequent. The first weeks of August can be hot in Iowa, but we had the pleasure of playing on natural grass. I find it worrisome that high school athletes are allowed to practice and scrimmage in excessive heat and particularly on a synthetic playing surface. RBHS and IHSA please review your policies. Put into place common sense guidelines spelling out clearly when and where hot weather practices can be held. Football has enough inherent risks. Let’s make sure we are not allowing high school athletes to harm themselves due to excessive heat.

Home invasion reported in Riverside Police in Riverside and North Riverside are trying to determine whether two incidents, one of them reported as a home invasion, within an hour on the morning of June 17, are related. Riverside police responded to the 500 block of Berkeley Road at 8:11 a.m. after a homeowner dialed 911 to report that at least one offender had kicked in his front door and gained entry to his home. According to police, the offender first had rung the doorbell and forced open the door after getting no answer. The homeowner said he often has packages delivered, so didn’t bother answering the bell. The victim, a concealed carry permit holder, yelled for the offender to leave, and went to retrieve his gun, but the offender and victim never saw one another. Police had no description of the offender, who fled in a dark-colored SUV. While investigating the scene, Riverside police received word that a similar incident had occurred in North Riverside in the 2400 block of 7th Avenue. The North Riverside resident called police at 8:47 a.m. to report someone smashing a window to gain entry to her home. The offender fled in a small, black SUV after the resident screamed. The resident stated that earlier someone had rung her door bell and then knocked on the side door, but she didn’t answer.

Still wanted after all these years A North Riverside resident who had evaded a warrant for his arrest for 18 years had his luck run out on June 11 at about 9 a.m. after a Riverside police officer pulled over his 2016 Hyundai Tucson for blowing a stop sign at the intersection of Westover and Northgate. The driver, later identified as Jimmy Alvarez, reportedly told police he didn’t have his driver’s license on him. But when the police officer did a computer check, he learned that Alvarez’s license had been revoked since 1986 for prior drunken driving convictions and that the Cook County Sheriff ’s Police had issued a warrant for his arrest in January 2000. Alvarez had been arrested at least four times for driving on a revoked license, according to police, but was able to evade arrest on the warrant by providing police false names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers. The Cook County State’s Attorney charged Alvarez with felony aggravated driving while revoked and other traffic offenses in addition to serving him with the warrant. Riverside police, meanwhile, reported they’ve filed paperwork to seize Alvarez’s vehicle under a state law regarding habitual traffic offenders whose license revocation is based on numerous DUI arrests.

Scam narrowly averted Brookfield police on June 11 were able to reunite a 78-year-old resident with $4,700 he mailed to someone in New York who had attempted to con him out of the money by posing as a family member. The intended victim told police he got a phone call from someone purporting to be his nephew. The caller said he’d been involved in a drunken driving crash and that his public defender would soon be following up. A short time later, someone claiming to be a lawyer advised the Brookfield man to deliver $4,700 in money orders overnight to an address in New York and then mail the money receipts to an address in Charlotte, North Carolina. The intended victim purchased money orders in the amount of $4,700 and sent an overnight envelope to the New York address. That day, the man was able to make contact with his nephew, who told him he hadn’t been in a crash and had not been arrested. The man called police and the post office, which was able to track down the overnight envelope and confirm that they would be returning it to the intended victim.

Vehicle break-ins ■ A Chicago woman called police on June

5, a day after someone tried to break into her Chevy Impala, which was parked at the North Riverside Park Mall under the deck near the food court for several hours. The woman didn’t notice anything out of place until she left the mall. She observed a large hole under the front driver’s door lock, as if someone had attempted to pop the lock. It did not appear that the offender gained entry to the vehicle. ■ North Riverside police responded to the parking lot of North Riverside Park Mall, 7501 Cermak Road, on June 5 after a Bensenville woman called to report that someone had broken into her Chevy Colbalt. According to the police report, the offender smashed out the passenger side window and removed the car’s stereo from the dashboard. The radio was valued at $500. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, June 5-17, 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.

Hey, kids, it’s the ice cream truck

emember the sound of the Good Humor ice cream truck making its way toward your street? The jingling bells were music to a kid’s ear and a bother to any adult who had to scrounge for some money to appease a child’s desire. However, if you were a bright kid you knew about what time the truck would make its rounds, and you were ready with money in the sweaty palm of your hand. Though ice cream trucks are still around, it’s a little different these days. Gone are the bells, replaced by annoying music that goes on and on and on. I saw one recently at the ball park and it remained parked there for quite a while. Nowadays, you go to it; doesn’t come to you. The trucks I remember would drive down the street slowly, so anxious tykes would not be running down, or in, the street screaming for the truck to stop. The trucks were bright white because they were generally Good Humor trucks,

owned by the company of the same name. The vendor did not always have good humor, but if you had to drive a truck around all day in the heat, listening to the annoying music and dealing with screaming kids, you might not always be in the best of moods either. Laws change and, for a while, there was a moratorium on ice cream trucks in the village. Today’s trucks have too many choices; it takes too long to decide. Back in the day we had the traditional ice cream bar with vanilla or chocolate malt ice cream, a Fudgsicle or a Dreamsicle. I leaned toward the chocolate with chocolate. Now they also have treats of all flavors and shapes. While truck I saw had lots of advertising signs and annoying music, all I could remember was the white, clean-looking truck with the sound of bells slowly coming down Selborne Road to see the regular customers who would beat the heat with an ice cream bar. Make mine a vanilla please, and quick, before it melts. Remember those days?

OBITUARIES

Martine Gary, 72 Respected Art Institute docent Martine Jeanine Gary (née Wargny), 72, died peacefully at her home in Riverside in the early morning of June 10, 2018 after a two-year battle with liver cancer. Born in eastern France just after World War II, Ms. Gary’s father worked for the post-war French government, including in the Foreign Service, and moved with his family to several cities during his career. While her famMARTINE GARY ily lived in Burgundy, France, Ms. Gary studied English literature, was an American Field Service exchange student in the U.S., and completed her first graduate degree while studying in Sussex University, England. At that time, she also met her husband-to-be on a beach in a small Spanish fishing village and married him a few years later. In the U.S., the couple initially lived in Colorado where she continued her graduate studies in comparative literature and earning her terminal degree. They then moved among several major North American cities following family op-

portunities and having two sons. Their final move was to the Chicago area in the mid-1980s where they settled in Riverside with the intent of providing a long-term, stable environment for their children’s school years. Ms. Gary became active as a youth soccer coach but developed a particularly strong interest in improving and expanding a “picture lady” program for parental cultural volunteers at her children‘s school. That work drew her to the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) where she entered the volunteer docent program. During her 25 years at the AIC, she gave hundreds of tours to school children, served as a Docent Council representative, and then president for several terms. She also became an adult public tour docent where she occasionally provided special-request tours in French. Within the AIC docent program, she was known for her penetrating research into and observations of art works, artists, the social and art world environment surrounding them, for drawing similarities and contrasts among works and movements, and for sharing her ideas and research with other docents, including through a docent website that she helped to establish. Ms. Gary leaves behind her husband of nearly 50 years, Dennis; her brother, Jean-François Wargny and two sons with families: Stefan married to Cori Princell and grandchildren Felix and Julia, and Jean-Pierre married to Kiera Ormut-Fleishmann with grandchildren Marlo

and Lola. A memorial service will be held at the Riverside Public Library, 1 Burling Road, on Sunday, July 8 from 1 to 3 p.m. Donations may be made in her name to the Riverside Public Library Lower Level Renovation Project, the American Cancer Society, and/or the Art Institute of Chicago. Ivins/Moravecek Funeral Home, Riverside, handled arrangements.

Private services will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her honor to any animal rescue organization. Johnson-Nosek Funeral Home, Brookfield, handled arrangements.

LEGAL NOTICE VILLAGE Of RIVERSIDE ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2017

The Village of Riverside is committed to providing the highest quality drinking water to our residents and businesses. Our water is frequently sampled according to strict Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. This report will inform you about the source, quality, and safety of our drinking water.

Riverside (IL #0312670) 2017 Regulated Contaminants Detected

Copper and Lead Collection Date: 2017

WATER SOURCE

Lake Michigan is the sole source of drinking water for Chicagoans and 118 suburban communities. The water is treated at the Jardine Water Purification Plant and at the South Water Purification Plant located on the lakefront of Lake Michigan in Chicago. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that the quality of Lake Michigan water has improved dramatically over the past thirty years. The Village of Riverside purchases surface water from the Village of McCook, which in turn purchases surface water from the City of Chicago. WATER QUALITY CONTROL & TESTING

The City of Chicago water treatment facility controls the quality of water supplied to the Village of McCook and the Village of Riverside. Chicago adds chemicals to the water for disinfection purposes, to settle out impurities, and to prevent lead leaching. The City also adds carbon to remove odors and adds fluoride for teeth. The Village of Riverside monitors and adjusts chlorine to maintain safe drinking water on a daily basis. The Village also samples the water for various requirements mandated by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency on a monthly basis. VIOLATIONS

The Village of Riverside is proud to have met or exceeded all federal and state standards for drinking water for the calendar year 2017. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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. The Village of Riverside is responsible for providing 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 at (800) 426-4791 or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contamination. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. Because water is the universal solvent, many materials are easily dissolved upon contact. At low levels, the contaminants generally are not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in nearly all cases, would not provide greater protection of health. More information about contaminants and their potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800) 426-4791. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in the drinking water than the general population. Immune compromised persons such as persons with cancer and/or undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly people, 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 EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800) 426-4791.

Inorganic Contaminants Regulated ContaminantsDate

• NTU – Nephhelometric Turbidity Units

The sources of drinking water (both tap 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 can dissolve naturally occurring minerals, and pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or human activity. Possible contaminants consist of 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 may be naturally occurring or the 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 may also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and specific Radioactive contaminants, which may 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, USEPA prescribes regulations that 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. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel free to attend any one of our regularly scheduled Village Board meetings. The source water assessment has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by the Village Hall or call the Public Works Department at 708-442-3590. To view a summary version of the completed Water Source Assessments, including: Importance of Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.

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.

Stories that stole headlines

The Landmark, June 20, 2018

What grabbed our attention during the 2017-18 season By MARTY FARMER

Sports Editor

ight of Champions celebrates the accomplishments of top high school teams, athletes and coaches from Riverside-Brookfield, Lyons Township, Fenwick and Nazareth on June 20. Unofficially, the annual sports awards party marks the end of the high school sports year in terms of coverage. While Night of Champions provides a synopsis of the top achievers of the year, several other interesting stories emerged to spice up the sports narrative. Here’s a look back at some of the most memorable ones.

Elliott wins Super Bowl Jake Elliott kicked three field goals and made two of three extra points in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 41-33 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. Elliott, a Lyons Township High School graduate, scored 11 points including a

pair of fourth-quarter field goals (42, 46 yards) to help fend off the Patriots’ repeated rallies. “I am continually amazed with Jake’s poise under pressure,” said LTHS football coach Kurt Weinberg, who coached Elliott in high school. “I was nervous on that 46-yarder in the fourth quarter [of the Super Bowl], but he looked cool as a cucumber. Just like the Super Bowl, some of my greatest recollections of Jake are his ability to handle big moments.” As a 5-foot-9, 170-pound rookie, Elliott set six kicking records. He has set three new records for the Eagles, longest field goal (61 yards), longest field goal in the playoffs (53 yards) and most 50-yard field goals in a season (5). The aforementioned 61- and 53yard kicks are also NFL records for longest regular season kick and playoff kick, respectively, by a rookie. And he owns the longest kick (46 yards) for a rookie in Super Bowl history. On the season, Elliott made 26 of 31 field goals for an accuracy make of 83.9 percent as the Eagles finished 16-3.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott, a 2013 Lyons Township High School graduate, kicked three field goals and two extra points in a 41-33 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. The rookie also set six kicking records.

Curtin named RBHS AD The District 208 school board voted 6-0 to hire RBHS head football coach Brendan Curtin as the school’s next assistant principal for athletics, effective July 1, 2018. “I believe that this is the place for me. This is the position that I’ve aspired to for years,” Curtin said. “It’s been a professional goal of mine to attain this position.” Curtin, a 1991 graduate of RBHS, will continue as head varsity football coach next year as well. He has led the team to four consecutive state playoffs berths. Three of those seasons ended with first-round playoff losses, but in 2015 the football team advanced to the quarterfinals in the Class 6A tournament and finished with a 10-2 record.

Kaminski wins state

RBHS head football coach Brendan Curtin was hired to be the school’s athletic director, effective July 1, 2018. Curtin, a 1991 graduate of RBHS, will continue to coach the football team as well.

Fenwick wrestler Jacob Kaminski, from Riverside, won his first state championship in the 195-pound class in relatively comfortable fashion as well. “It obviously feels great to be a state champion.” Kaminski said.

“It’s really fulfilling for all your hard work to show and to know that you deserve the title.” Kaminski (31-2), who advanced to the semifinals in the individual state tourney in 2017, finished the job this year with a 7-1 decision over Rochelle’s Alex Harvey in the state final match. “Jake Kaminski is a tremendous talent, one of the best wrestlers in the country,” Fenwick coach Pete Kowalczuk said. “He’s such a special talent.”

Malnati, Steward leave Fenwick After five years as the Fenwick boys head basketball coach, Rick Malnati informed the school he is resigning from the position. He told the varsity players of his decision on April 18. “Five years ago, [Fenwick assistant coach] Staunton Peck and I got a chance to come to Fenwick to coach basketball,” Malnati said in a press release issued by Fenwick. “I originally told Athletic Director Scott Thies that I would commit to three years and then Staunton would take over. I was having so much fun, I stayed five.” Malnati guided the Friars to

a 122-33 record, highlighted by a 38-game winning streak and three straight Chicago Catholic League championships. In 2016-17, Fenwick produced a 30-5 record and Class 3A runner-up finish. In the Class 3A finals, Morgan Park edged the Friars 69-67 in overtime. About a month after Malnati’s announcement, Fenwick basketball standouts D.J. Steward (Class of 2020 nationally-ranked player) and Damari Nixon decided to transfer out of Fenwick.

Bulldogs progress in pool The RBHS girls water polo team recorded its best season in program history with a 23-8 record under third-year head coach Todd Fridrych. After a 3-3 start, the Bulldogs won 20 of 25 matches highlighted by an 11-match winning streak. Previously, RBHS never finished above .500 and went 11-18 in 2017. Chloe Wandel-Marrello had 312 saves and 52 assists in the cage, while Tatum Bruno scored 89 goals with 60 assists and 152 steals. Leah Harazin had 65 goals, 21 assists and 31 steals.
