Officials honor, mourn Ald. Daniel Knight ‘Dan never stopped putting his energy and his heart into service’

BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

It was a somber evening on Feb. 6 at the Park Ridge City Council as aldermen and Acting Mayor Marty Maloney talked about what Fifth Ward Ald. Daniel Knight meant to them.

Knight passed away from cancer on Dec. 20. As the officials who spoke reflected, this was the third time in the past three years that they lost a colleague. Mayor David Schmidt passed away on March 2015, and Third Ward Al. Robert Wilkening passed away in August of the same year.

At the start of the Feb. 6 City Council meeting, the aldermen and the mayor went up to the podium. Before Maloney read the resolution recognizing Knight for his service, the officials offered their own comments.

Second Ward Ald. Nicholas Milissis recalled how he and

Knight grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for the 2016 Grilling for the Arts fundraiser. As the two aldermen finished up, Knight looked out onto the crowd and reflected. “[Knight said] ‘I love this town.

This is the stuff I love about Park Ridge–the small town feel’,” Millissis recalled. “Dan loved this town, and the city loved him back.”

First Ward Ald. John Moran bemoaned the losses the city suffered over the past three years, “You shouldn’t have five people up here,” he said. “This is a sad event, and it’s been a sad couple of years.”

Moran said that he appreciated Knight’s knowledge and advice.

“He was a real inspiration, and I’ll never forget him,” he said.

Fourth Ward Ald. Roger Shubert reflected on Knight’s public service, adding that he will miss his colleague’s input at the council meetings, and miss him personally.

Sixth Ward Ald. Marc Mazzuca

said that, even after Knight was diagnosed with cancer, he kept working as much as he could.

“Dan never stopped putting his energy and his heart into service,” he said. “I’m honored to have known him. I’ll miss him dearly.

Rest in peace, my friend.”

Third Ward Ald. Richard Van Roeyen was attending the meeting remotely, so he couldn’t join his colleagues in front of the podium, and he didn’t make any comments.

Maloney was the last to speak, saying that Knight’s dedication to fiscal discipline and knowledge of finances helped the city recover after the Uptown Tax Increment Financing district left the city in debt.

“The city wouldn’t be in the position it is in today if it wasn’t for Daniel Knight,” he said.

Maloney then read out the resolution, which gave a rundown of Knight’s career and the impact on

the city.

“Dan will be remembered for his straight-forwardness, financial expertise, and his caring demeanor and dedicated service to the residents of the Fifth Ward and to the City of Park Ridge,” the resolution said. “The city has lost a wonderful man who leaves behind a legacy, which will long endure the passage of time and will remain as a comforting memory to all he served and befriended.”

Aldermen concerned over filling vacancies Committee chooses Charlie Melidosian to fill seat of Knight

BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

The vote to confirm the replacement for Fifth Ward Ald. Daniel Knight turned unexpectedly contentious, as three out six aldermen expressed concerns about the process.

Under state law, when there is a vacancy on the Park Ridge City Council, a mayor appoints a replacement and the aldermen either confirm or deny the pick. In recent years, the mayors tweaked the process, appointing commissions made up of residents of the affected ward to interview the candidates and make a recommendation. The same process was followed after Knight passed away on Dec. 20, 2016, with the committee choosing Charlie Melidosian.

But on Feb. 6, Second Ward Ald. Nicholas Milissis, Third Ward Ald. Rick Van Roeyen and Forth Ward Ald. Roger Shubert said they would vote against the confirmation, because they had concerns about the process wasn’t representing the will of the people. With six aldermen sitting on the council at the time, that would’ve created a deadlock. Milissis ultimately changed his vote, saying that he felt he got his concerns across, and, since he had no issue with Melidosian personally, he was willing to confirm him.

According to meeting documents available on the City of Park Ridge website, a total of 10 candidates applied to fill Knight’s seat, but two withdrew. Acting Mayor Marty Maloney appointed the alderman’s widow, Sue Knight, to the committee. He also appoint-

ed, Judy Barclay, Sal Raspanti, Joan Sandrik and Park Ridge Public Library Trustee Michael Reardon.

They interviewed the remaining candidates on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24, narrowed down the field to two and made their final decision dur-

ing the Jan. 29 meeting.

In his application letter, Melidosian wrote that he was born in Park Ridge and lived in the Fifth Ward for the past 20 years. He currently works as the Information Security Manager at the Alliant Credit

Union, Chicago. Melidosian previously served on the since-disbanded Park Ridge Fair Housing Committee, and he volunteered for two election campaigns for late SEE VACANCIES PAGE 3

School bus parking proposal moves forward On Feb. 6, Niles Plan Commission voted unanimously to approve district’s Special Use permits

BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

It took nine months, but the Niles Township High School District 219’s plan a new school bus parking facility has finally been forwarded to the Village of Niles Board of Trustees.

On Feb. 6, the Niles Plan Commission voted unanimously to approve the district’s Special Use permits. The major reason for the delay was the inter-governmental agreement that would govern how the district would handle bus traffic. The district also made some changes to site layout and access point. The village board is expected to consider the plans during its Feb. 28 meeting.

As previously reported by the Bugle, in April 2015, the district ended its contract Evanston-based Positive Connections school bus company over concerns about services.

But as it looked for alternatives, all of the bids came too high. As Eric Trimberger, the district’s assistant superintendent of business, ex-

VACANCIES FROM PAGE 2 mayor David Schmidt.

The city council last filled vacancies on Sept. 21, 2015, when it unanimously approved appointing van Roeyen to a seat left vacant after Ald. Robert Wilkening died earlier that month. As the Bugle reported at the time, he was approved quickly and unanimously.

But this around, Milissis announced he would vote against the nomination. He said he had misgivings about the process when Van Roeyen was appointed, and they’ve only grown since then.

“Unfortunately, whether there’s tradition or precedent, I didn’t have an input,” he said. “I can’t give a vote on the critical issue to people whose positions I know nothing about it.”

Van Roeyen’s case, Milissis said, was different, because he ran against Wilkening in the most recent election, so his position on issues was on record.

He complained that the Jan. 23 meeting, when Melidosian was interviewed, coincided with a Com-

plained to this newspaper, the other companies would need to build a bus parking and refueling facility from scratch. Under the state law, the district must rebid one bus contractors once every three years, and the companies thought that building a facility they might not even need a few years later was too much of a financial risk.

The district decided to take care of this by buying its own buses, and building its own facility somewhere in Niles Township. It bought two lots in the Niles’ industrial district, one at 6119 Howard Street and one at 6100-6140 Gross Point Road.

Until the facility was built, it’s been storing buses in Niles West High School. But as can’t keep the buses there indefinitely, because the land is zoned as residential. While the Village of Skokie has been willing to grant temporary permits, it made it clear that the sooner District 219 has its own facility, the better.

Because school bus storage facilities count as special use, the Niles Plan Commission and Village of Niles Board of Trustees have to sign off on it. The district’s applica-

tion went before the commission on June 6, 2016. But that quickly earned pushback from the commissioners, who were worried that it would complicate an already tricky traffic situation during rush hours. The site is located near a complex three-way intersection of Howard Street, Gross Point Road and Leigh Avenue. Lehigh runs alongside railroad tracks used by Metra’s Milwaukee District North Line, as well as Amtrak and freight trains. All buses, including school buses, are legally required to stop in front of rail intersections, even when the barrier gates aren’t lowered.

On June 28, the district submitted a revised plan, reducing the

number of buses and eliminated Howard Street access point.

From there, the major issue was a Traffic Management Plan. Over the next few months, Niles and the district went back and forth to finetune the details. In October, they began working on an inter-governmental agreement, which would spell out each party’s legal obligations and how they would resolve disputes.

According to the final version of the site plan, the facility will have space for 52 buses and 112 employee parking spaces. While the original plan called for the building at 119 Howard Street to be demolished, the final plan calls for it to be converted into district offices and a maintenance facility with enough room for four buses.

Among other things, the final inter-governmental agreement specifies that no more than 6 buses would cross the railroad tracks when buses are either picking up or dropping off students. Each of those buses can cross the track twice – once to leave the facility and once to return. The district must do the best it can to ensure that buses leave in groups of no more than five, with at least 90 seconds passing between each group. The

mittee of the Whole meeting, so he couldn’t attend it, and audio recordings could only convey so much. Milissis also felt that the Mayoral Advisory Board, which vets candidates for various Park Ridge boards and committees, would’ve been a better choice.

Van Roeyen said he also had issues with the process, saying that, after reviewing the audio recordings of the meetings, he became concerned that committee members may have been too friendly toward Melidosian for comfort. “[They] appear to demonstrate a personal bias toward a person that was selected, and I don’t think it was fair to other candidates,” he said.

Shubert said he agreed with Millissis’ points, adding that he felt the Mayor’s Advisory Board would be better suited for vetting candidates since they have more experience with the process.

Barclay and Sandrik, who attended the Feb.6 meeting, forcefully pushed back.

“I think this is just wrong, I think

it’s a slap in the face to the people in the Fifth Ward, to substitute your judgment for people who live there,” Sandrik said. “I think it’s Big Brother, quite frankly.”

Barclay said that the committee wasn’t biased, and they considered their choices carefully.

Millissis argued that his issue wasn’t that the residents made the choice – it was that, while aldermen on it were accountable to voters, the interview committee members were appointed and accountable to no one. “[Committee members] represent themselves and their opinions,” he said. “I think there’s more legitimacy, and more mandate, to have that decision made [by] the people who were elected.”

Sixth Ward Ald. Marc Mazzuca defended the process. “[The process] was intended to take the need of the ward into account,” he said. “I actually want to thank the members of the committee. I know they did a good job.

They didn’t push [a candidate] through, they didn’t rubber stamp

something – they were very deliberate.”

First Ward Ald. John Moran, who serves on the advisory board, had some harsh words of his colleague.

“I could make a power grab and say ‘I want a say in the process,’ nobody in the Fifth Ward would hold me accountable,” he said.

When Van Roeyen said he still wasn’t comfortable with the tone of the committee members, Sandrik countered that such familiarity was hard to avoid.

“Let’s remember, Park Ridge is a small town, and a lot of us know a lot of people,” she said. “If you want a committee that doesn’t know anyone, I don’t think that’s possible.”

Gareth Kennedy, another candidate, defended the process.

“I agree that I wasn’t as wellknown tot that group as Mr. Melidosian, but they recognized that, and they deliberated on that,” he said.

After some back and forth, Melidosian addressed the council,

MORE INFO According to the final version of the site plan, the facility will have space for 52 buses and 112 employee parking spaces. While the original plan called for the building at 119 Howard Street to be demolished, the final plan calls for it to be converted into district offices and a maintenance facility with enough room for four buses.

district must try to minimize the number of buses using Caldwell/ Gross Point intersection. It also specifies that the district must do a study analyzing how the buses impact traffic six months after it starts using the new facility or after Feb. 1, 2018 – whichever happens first.

The agreement also addresses enforcement. If either sides wants to change any part of the agreement, they must hold a “change meeting,” where village staff, district staff and representatives of the bus service contractor would meet to discuss the best way to go forward. If the two sides don’t agree on a solution, they have the option of doing a study to assess the impact of the changes. If even that doesn’t lead to an agreement, they can hire a third party mediator, with the costs split equally between the two sides.

If the village believes that the district is violating the agreement, it must notify the district superintendent and schedule a meeting to try to resolve the issue. If that doesn’t work, the village can take legal action.

The Village of Niles Board of Trustees is expected to vote on both the permits and the agreement during its Feb. 28 meeting.

saying that he would uphold the same principles as Knight and Schmidt.

“If you like honesty, integrity, accountability Ald. Knight brought to the City Council, you’ll like Charlie Melidosian,” he said.

“I apologize for being well-known in the ward. I’m involved in a lot of things.”

After Melidosian urged the three dissenting aldermen to reconsider, Millissis said he changed his vote, but that he would continue pushing the issue. He asked Mazzuca, who chairs the Procedures and Regulations Committee of the Whole, to put the matter up for discussion at some future date.

Moran suggested a possible compromise solution.

“Perhaps in the future, [interview committee members] would get interviewed by the Advisory Board,” he said. “I would like to see that be the direction we go. It would give us ime input.”

Van Roeyen and Shubert stuck by their votes, and Melidosian was confirmed 4-2.

COLUMN >> THINKING ABOUT HEALTH

Changes may be coming to Medicare What’s going to happen to Medicare?

That’s not an insignificant question given the political shift in Washington.

Now, with Republicans controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress, some ideas they’ve been pushing for years have a chance of passing.

Those ideas would drastically change the way Medicare works for those already on it and those joining in the next few years.

Medicare is wildly popular, but that popularity doesn’t necessarily translate into understanding of a very complex program, what’s happened to it, and what may happen. Writing about Medicare for nearly 30 years and watching it evolve, I’ve seen how easily Congress has already made big changes with hardly a peep from the press or the public. The same could happen again. In this column I discuss a few of those possible changes gleaned from my decades of experience covering the program.

Since the election, there’s been talk of “voucherizing” or privatizing Medicare, an idea Republicans have been pushing for 20 years. Under a fully privatized arrangement Medicare would no longer be social insurance like Social Security but more like Obamacare with everyone eventually buying their coverage from private insurance companies.

Beneficiaries would receive a sum of money, likely to be called “premium support” instead of the more diresounding “voucher,” to help buy their coverage. The amount of support and how well it would keep pace with medical inflation would be buried in the details Congress would hash out.

Today, the government provides the

benefits for hospital and physician care for most Medicare beneficiaries, but that could change with more privatization. There already is a lot of privatization in Medicare, and it came about step-by-step - usually with both political parties in agreement and lots of buzz words like “consumer choice” to sell changes to the public.

The long steady march toward Medicare Advantage (MA) plans now used by about one-third of all beneficiaries and the prescription drug benefit are privatized insurance programs within Medicare. Seniors in MA plans give up their traditional, standardized Medicare benefits for doctor and hospital services and buy them from insurers that receive subsidies from the government.

In a totally privatized arrangement, there may be no standardized benefits, and seniors would choose from a menu of insurance company options much the way drug plans are sold today.

It’s too early to say whether Congress will push for premium support this year.

Democrats have already signaled they will fight back. It’s more likely that other changes could slip through that would radically alter Medicare and force beneficiaries to pay a lot more for their care.

One of them is a change in the rules on balance billing: physicians charging seniors and disabled people on the

program more than what Medicare will pay. Most doctors accept Medicare’s payment as payment in full. Those who don’t can charge patients only 15 percent more than Medicare’s payment.

This limit offers protection against the high balance billing charges patients with other kinds of insurance are facing.

The nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price is no fan of the 15 percent rule and once proposed eliminating it, which may explain why he has gotten such a strong endorsement from the American Medical Association. The AMA has called Price a leader in developing public policy to advance patient choice and “reduce excessive regulatory burdens.” Many doctors who work with Medicare patients would like to charge as much as they want.

Congress may try to shift costs another way. The objective is to reduce what the government pays for beneficiaries’ care by making them pay more themselves. One solution is to combine the deductibles for hospital and physician care into one, and impose an outof-pocket spending cap for beneficiaries still enrolled in traditional Medicare.

Two-thirds of beneficiaries are. Currently no such cap exists. (Seniors in MA plans do face such caps – last year as high as $6,700.)

If seniors in the traditional program also buy a Medigap plan, it’s possible they have what’s called “first dollar coverage.” That means medical expenses are covered from the beginning.

Congress has already begun to take that protection away. Beginning in 2020 insurers can no longer sell certain Medigap plans that provide for the first dollar coverage beneficiaries want. However, if you have such a policy, you can keep it.

When my mother passed away when I was younger she never failed to be there for us. She and my mother were close friends along with my sister Sarah and her daughter Olivia. Kelly truly makes everyone around her feel loved and appreciated. When I was younger Kelly would always have Sarah and I over, take us out places such as shopping, dinner, movies, sleepovers, etc. Kelly absolutely felt and always will feel like an amazing motherly figure I could and always can go to when I need one. In fact, she has told me on multiple occasions “No matter time nor distance, I will always be in your corner. You call, I’ll come.”

As a young girl I always had so much fun and enjoyed every second I was

with Kelly and her family. Now that I am older, talking to my dad, I truly can understand how much of a help Kelly was and still is to our family. I have so many memories with Kelly that will last me a lifetime. Kelly has instilled in me great values, morals, hard work, knowledge, and most of all love. I could not imagine my life without Kelly. Kelly has had a huge part in shaping me and many people into the person they are today.

There is truly no one better I could think of to run for office. She is the epitome of what Maine Township needs and what we as Park Ridge should be.

WOLVES

RECOVER After overtime loss on Friday, Niles West bounces back with big nonconference win Saturday

BY DRAKE SKLEBA For the Bugle www.buglenewspapers.com

After Friday night’s heartwrenching 64-61 overtime loss, at archrival Niles North, the big question for Niles West head coach Bob Williams, was how would his Wolves respond, at East Aurora on Saturday night?

Just fine, thank you.

Niles West (9-13) senior Mirsad Mackic’s ( 7 points), three clutch free throws in the last 31.6 seconds, led the Wolves to a thrilling 62-59 nonconference victory, at Ernie Kivisto Memorial Gymnasium, at East Aurora High School.

With 6:20 left in the contest, Wolves’ senior John Lazar (9 points, 3 three-pointers), buried his second “3” of the game, to give the Wolves a 54-47 lead. After an East Aurora bucket, Lazar struck again, for another threepoint bomb and the Wolves led 57-49 with 5:24 left.

“I had been in a real shooting

slump as of late,” Lazar said. “It felt good to hit the big shots, tonight.”

East Aurora’s Jaquiz Robinson, converted an old-fashioned three-point play and the Tomcats were within 57-52.

The Wolves answered on an Aaron Flowers (13 points , 5 rebounds) bucket off a beautiful assist from Kosta Hatzopoulos (13 points, 3 rebounds, two steals, two assists), for what seemed to be an insurmountable 59-52 lead with 4:51 left.

East Aurora (6-18) would not quit and would close to within 59-56 on a pair of free throws from sophomore Jules Williamson ( 8 points) and a bucket by Davonta Faulkner(15 points, 4 assists), with 39 seconds left.

With 31 seconds left, Mackic was fouled and calmly sank a pair from the charity stripe, for a 61-56 Wolve’s lead.

WRESTLING

Four locals heading to state finals

BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

When the IHSA Class 4A state wrestling tournament takes place this weekend at the State Farm Center on the campus of the University of Illinois in Champaign, it will do so with a quartet of local grapplers.

The Hawks will send three wrestlers to the state finals, paced by Jon Halvorsen (27-6), who placed second pounds.

In the finals, he fell 4-3 to Drew Matticks of Oak ParkRiver Forest, but prior to that, Halvorsen defeated Ryan Vedner of Prospect 6-3 after earning a bye and injury default win in the first two rounds. “I want to place downstate that is the goal and I just have to SEE STATE PAGE 9

STATE FROM PAGE 8 work hard and I can get there,” Halvorsen said. “This is the first time in a while Maine South has had more than one or two to state, so not being alone and having buddies with me will be sweet.”

At 152, Eugene Lee (20-5) placed third with a 7-5 win over Dan Wozniak of Conant in the third-place match.

“I am very proud, this is my first time going to state,” Lee said. “This is a great feeling. It was a pretty amazing day, I had a lot of good experiences and now I have to take it to the next

level” In the quarterfinal round, Lee pinned Chad Reynolds of St. Charles North in 5 minutes, 13 second.

After losing in the semifinal to Michael Womeldorf of Rolling Meadows 3-0, Lee defeated Eddie Ordonez of Oak Park-River Forest 9-4 to get to the thirdplace match.

The third of the Hawk trio to advance is Mike Milito (33-5), who placed fourth at 195.

In the quarterfinal, Milito lost to Wheaton North’s Bo Neidballa 3-0 in sudden victory.

He then pinned Van Rutter of

Evanston in 3:26 and defeated Nick Dawson of Bartlett 3-1 in sudden victory.

In the consolation semifinal, Milito beat Artis Hudson of Conant 9-6 to set up a rematch with Neidballa, who beat Milito 5-3.

“All through high school when I was younger, I never believed I could [get to state] but now I am here and I did it,” Milito said. “I am satisfied, but I really wanted that win there because he beat me earlier and I wanted that revenge win there.

That will inspire me a little more for next week. I know I had two

losses and got fourth place this sectional, but I really think I can beat some good kids if I work on technique a little more.”

For Notre Dame, senior Josh Barzowski (37-4) is the lone qualifier at 160.

He placed third, beating Conant’s Cormac Kane 6-1.

After a bye, Barzowski pinned Malik Milazzo of West Chicago in 2:47 before falling 3-1 to Wheaton North’s Devin Donovan. He then pinned Nick Sowers of Geneva in 1:42 to lock his berth in the state tournament.

“It was big to come away with a win after taking a loss in the

9

semifinals,” Barzowski said.

“The goal is to get on that podium, so I am excited. This has been a long time coming.”

For Barzowski, the match against Kane was not only for third place in the sectional, it was a preview of the match he will have Feb. 21 when Notre Dame and Conant square off for the team sectional title and a chance to go to state as a group.

“It was good to see him and feel him out,” Barzowski said.

“I didn’t get to face him at the Conant tournament and when we dualed Conant, he was hurt.

Finally, I got to see him.”

Mackic was held on the inbounds play and went to the line for two shots. Mackic would miss the first and make the second, for a 62-59 Wolves lead.

East Aurora’s Faulkner’s desperation three-point attempt, fell short and the Wolves survived.

“After all of the excitement from last night’s game, I went to line confident, that I would make the free-throws,” Mackic said. “I didn’t play as well as I would have liked but I was able to make the big free throws.”

East Aurora jumped out to a 17-7 first quarter lead behind the long-range shooting of Brown, who scored eight first

quarter points.

Trailing 20-9, with six minutes remaining in the half, Niles West (9-13) went on a 21-5 run, to open up a 30-25 lead with a minute to go in the half.

“I was really happy to see John (Lazar) hit the huge threepointers for us. Tonight’s performance should lift John from his shooting slump. Kosta (Hatzopoulos) and Aaron (Flowers) played well for us.”

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

Prepay & discount are good marketing ideas You have to be really secure in your ability to provide the service DEAR DAVE, I’m a small-business owner with a lawn care franchise. It’s common in our industry, after the season is over, to send out pre-pay letters for the upcoming season. If we send out these letters offering a five or 10 percent discount for early payment on next year’s services, is that too similar to borrowing money from our customers at five to 10 percent?

KEVIN DEAR KEVIN, Not at all. I definitely would send pre-pay letters. It takes some of the seasonality “ouch” out of your financial equation, and it gives them the opportunity to take advantage of a bargain. It’s not a bad plan from a marketing standpoint for your business, either. You might even be able to add some new customers with an offer like this.

You obviously have to be really secure and confident in your ability to provide the service. Otherwise, you could end up in a really bad situation. Your equipment, staffing and track record in the business will all come into play.

But if all this is strong, and you’ve been in the business for a number of years and plan on staying in the business for years to come, then

this is something I’d definitely do.

—DAVE DEAR DAVE, I’m 29, and I have no debt. I’ve gotten a good start on my savings and retirement, too. My girlfriend and I plan to get married in the next couple of years, and she has about $90,000 in debt. I’m not paying on her debt yet, but I think together we can save up enough to pay it off by the time we’re married. Should I temporarily slow down saving for a house and start

saving toward paying off her debt?

JAMES DEAR JAMES, Yes, I would have a “girlfriend debt” account. That way when she becomes your wife, you two can write a check the moment you get back from the honeymoon and be debt-free — or at least knock out a huge portion of the debt. After that, the two of you — as in WE — resume saving for retirement, a house and so on.

That, James, is exactly what I would do. You’re right in line with my thinking on this, brother. Best of luck to you both!
