Jung is charged with sexually assaulting a 9-year-old during a trip to Milwaukee on an unknown date, according to media reports. The girl, who had been asleep while Jung allegedly assaulted her, tried to reach her mother by phone after the incident but was unsuccessful and Jung allegedly repeated his actions the following night.

Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Amari Dawson said Jung didn’t admit to sexual assault but allegedly told police he had raped the girl’s mother 22 years ago, when she was 10 years old, according to media reports.

The date of Jung’s arrest was not indicated. La Grange investigators worked with criminal justice and medical authorities to examine the

claims, police said.

Jung was held at the Cook County Jail on Saturday after appearing in bond court. He was scheduled to appear in court again Tuesday.

The Prison Review Board is allowed to take into consideration the fact that the 49-year-old Rockford man was arrested while out on parole, which means it can violate a parolee’s status.

Adamczyk’s status hearing is March 13. He is currently being held at the Dixon Correctional Facility.

A resident in the 8800 block of Plainfield Road reported Feb. 14 that someone let the air out of the tires on his truck and drained the vehicle’s oil sometime the previous night. Air allegedly had been let out of his tires before, but the man became concerned when the engine oil was drained.

LA GRANGE — Parking Enforcement Officer David Kotrba is very familiar with the western suburbs.

The five-year veteran of the La Grange Police Department grew up in Berwyn, where he went to school and junior college.

But when the now-Riverside resident started his career, he decided upon La Grange because he said he was familiar with the area and found it appealing.

It’s a decision that has paid off.

In December, Kotrba received two awards for his service to the La Grange Police Department. He was awarded a good conduct medal and also was recognized for his efforts identifying vehicles with outstanding unpaid parking tickets.

Kotrba located 11 vehicles with unpaid parking tickets during 2012, resulting in the payment of more than $20,000. He was awarded a meritorious service medal from La Grange Police Chief Michael Holub.

NORTH RIVERSIDE — The North Riverside Police Department is sponsoring an opportunity for members of the community to become closely acquainted with the roles and responsibilities of law enforcement agencies.

The Citizen’s Police Academy (CPA) is a free program designed to educate North Riverside residents and business owners about the structure and activities of their police department. The CPA is not a training class, but an informational class that offers a behind-thescenes look at law enforcement operations.

The first session of this course, which took place late last year, was attended by 17 community members. The attendees related that their perception of law enforcement had changed for the better as a result of their experiences during the 10-week course, police said.

The purpose of the CPA program is to bring the police and

the community closer together.

It’s based on the concept that informed and educated citizens will be more supportive of law enforcement and more productive in their community.

The CPA will consist of 10 two-hour training sessions on Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. The program starts March 14 and will conclude May 16.

The class format includes practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises as permitted, as well as a lecture.

The minimum age requirement to participate is 18 years old. This is a free program and class size is limited. All applicants will be subject to a background and reference check.

Registration deadline is March 6. Applications are available at the North Riverside Police Department, 2359 S. Desplaines Ave., and on the village’s website, northriverside-il.org.

For more information, contact CPA Coordinator Tom Tauer by calling 708-762-5464 or emailing ttauer@northriverside-il.org.

LA GRANGE PARK — The residents of Plymouth Place in La Grange Park were looking for a service project that was both recycling-conscious and helpful to the community.

That’s when Community Life Director Rita Lopienski remembered her experience with using recycled plastic bags to make mats for those in need.

The response from residents was outstanding, Lopienski said, with countless people recycling the bags and a steady 10 residents working once a week starting in February 2012.

Plastic bags are recycled and cut into strips, the strips are tied into knots and rolled into plastic balls before they are crocheted into mats. When completed, the mats are donated to BEDS Plus, an organization that provides warm overnight shelter; hot, healthy meals; professional assistance with medical care; and mental health, sobriety, employment and housing assistance for those in need.

“It’s just a wonderful service project,” Lopienski said.

“There’s a great purpose to what they’re doing. There’s caring involved and outreach.

And we want to be environmentally conscious.”

Lopienski said for every single mat, 500 to 700 plastic bags are saved from going to a landfill. So far, Plymouth Place residents have donated about 10 mats to BEDS Plus, with another six or seven on the way.

“We’ve been using these mats for outreach,” said Tina Rounds, executive director of BEDS Plus. “Some of these individuals are living in the nooks and crannies of the community in places that aren’t habitable.”

Rounds said the mats are

part of the outreach program, which intends to build a trusting relationship between the organization and those in need.

Since 1988, the local BEDS Plus based in Countryside has hosted shelters seven nights a week in churches in La Grange and the surrounding area. In addition to meals and a place to sleep, visitors receive case management, which includes health screenings with a nurse and job training.

Rounds said between 35 to 40 people are sleeping in shelters in the area a night.

“We’re seeing an increase in women and families, which is a trend around the country,” Rounds said. “A lot of people that are homeless have substance abuse or a mental illness that has been undiagnosed or untreated. These people haven’t been able to sustain employment. But there’s a lot of other people who have had an economic or financial crisis, including a medical crisis that left them homeless.”

BEDS Plus is focused on not only helping those who have lost their home, but also those struggling to maintain their home.

“If you’re at risk of becoming homeless, seek us out,” Rounds said.

BERWYN — PCC South Family Health Center in Berwyn is expecting to hear the sound of newborns by the end of the year.

The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board has approved Illinois’ first freestanding birth center to be located at the PCC Center at 6201 S. Roosevelt Road.

According to the center, supporters have long pushed for birth centers in Illinois. They operate in 37 states and let women give birth under the care of trained midwives, rather than in a hospital or at home.

Cecelia Bacom, director of Advanced Practice Nursing at the Center and a certified midwife, said birth centers offer an option for women who are looking at pregnancy as a natural process of life.

Birth centers make every effort to avoid medical interventions such as drugs and cesarean sections, and offer alternatives such as water births.

Once born, mother and child will stay at the center anywhere from four to 24 hours, but most likely no longer than 12, Bacom said. It’s followed up by a home visit the next day, if the patient is not too far out of the geographical area. That being the case, mother and child are expected to come to the center for the follow-up.

Because PCC is a federally qualified health center, there are no income restrictions for those seeking to have their baby at the birth center. However, expecting mothers need to have their prenatal care with PCC. Mothers also must be low risk. West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park will take transfers in the event of complications.

Virtually all insurance companies are accepted for payment as well.

Illinois once prohibited birth centers, leaving women to choose between giving birth at home or in a hospital.

It took two decades of lobbying by midwives before a 2007 law authorized a pilot program.

Riverside Police: Lyons man caught in lie after speeding

We Accept

FOR SPECIALS, EVENTS & COUPONS

RIVERSIDE — A little white lie turned into a big headache after a Lyons man allegedly tried to evade a speeding ticket by telling police he was rushing home to his ill children last week.

Riverside police said Cruz A. Salgado, 26, of the 8300 block of West 44th Place was driving southbound in the 3100 block of South Harlem Avenue at 4:08 a.m. Feb. 19 when a Riverside officer clocked his vehicle on radar at 62 mph. The posted speed limit is 30 mph.

The officer caught up to Salgado’s vehicle and instead of slowing, Salgado allegedly increased his speed to 75 mph. The officer at this time thought Salgado was attempt-

ing to flee, according to a news release.

Salgado finally stopped his vehicle on Ogden Avenue west of Harlem in Riverside and told police he was on his way home because his wife called him and said that she and their kids were sick and needed immediate medical care, police said.

Lyons police were contacted and sent a patrol unit to the Salgado home to see if medical assistance was needed. Salgado’s wife seemed perplexed, police said, and she told Lyons officers that everyone in the home was fine.

Salgado was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving in excess of 40 mph and issued a citation for driving without insurance and speeding. His vehicle was impounded.

WAGNER & ME

RON HURST

Kathy and I went to see the Lyric’s production of ‘Die Meistersinger’ last night and as it promised to be a 6 hour event I was filled with trepidation. After all, a flight to visit family in California takes a bit less than 5 hours but renders me (at 75) a bit stiff and achey; and a 7 hour flight to London taxes my endurance fully. Fortunately, intermissions relieved the pain and I was able to walk out without a limp.

Of course other considerations had tempered my enthusiasm for the outing.

I’ve seen all 4 operas of Wagner’s ‘ring cycle’ (about 16 hours!) and I confess that I have found the combination of beautiful music, staggeringly dull plot (a synopsis of which could be printed on the back of a cereal box), warm opera house, comfy seat and dim lights to be a guaranteed soporific. In fact whenever I think of Wagner, I think of two stories, the first involving English author Evelyn Waugh and the second the late Fritz Reiner, great one time conductor of the Chicago Symphony.

During World War II Waugh volunteered for service in the British Army; and though he was well into his 30s he was fit enough to be accepted into an elite British Commando unit. As fate would have it, his unit’s first deployment was to cover the British Army’s evacuation of Crete in 1941; and it was there he made his, to me, memorable comment.

As his commanding officer and Evelyn were standing in a slit trench enduring a seemingly endless German bombing attack, the senior officer turned to Evelyn and remarked, “You know, Evelyn, you really have to admire the Germans for their thoroughness” (I hope that quote is accurate). Waugh thought for a second and replied, “Yes, but rather like Wagner, they do tend to keep it up a bit too long.” That quote, firmly implanted in my mind and coupled with my experience of the ring, has tended to imbue my approach to Wagner with a cautious willingness to ‘bail out’ if I can endure no more.

Reiner, on the other hand, was a Wagner enthusiast; but when, on one occasion, he was interviewed about his conducting career, he could not keep himself from telling the following story. In the late 1930s he’d been conducting Wagner in (I believe) Cleveland and had made an after concert dinner date with friends. So after the cast and he had taken their bows, he made for the nearest exit - which happened to be through the departing crowd. While in their midst, he heard the following husband/wife exchange. Husband, “What time is it?” “10:45,” she replied. “No, No,” he said, “Just tell me, is Roosevelt still president?” A witty comment, but one that added to my Wagnerian angst. So it was, anticipating pain, suffering, boredom – and a high priced nap – that I went to what my wife had promised me was a ‘once in a lifetime experience’. Thankfully, she was right; and though the time didn’t quite fly, I enjoyed it thoroughly. The voices were wonderful, the story amusing and the staging lush – things any theater lover will appreciate; and my experience is illustrative of the ‘post hoc’ fallacy.

It’s the “if this, then that” fallacy which presumes perfect connections and knowledge without either being present. I had presumed that my prior experience and understandings were sufficient knowledge upon which to base my a priori judgement of a work of art. In point of fact, it wasn’t; but it raised another question – that of the importance of empirical knowledge to understanding the world around us. Though I’ve seen a bit of opera over the last quarter of a century, I’ve not seen it all; so I should have known that, above and beyond any particular composer, I delight in a combination of melody, story and performance. How like appreciating a gem; and how like the internet gem auto didact I was. I should have known better.

As our business is primarily diamonds, I encounter the ‘self trained’ diamond ‘expert’ on an almost daily basis. That is, without having ever looked at a diamond, people come to me asking for a, “One carat G, VS1”, all of this, of course, without understanding what such a diamond might look like.

‘Carat’ is a unit of weight (0.2 grams) and a statement of weight is no guarantee of an appearance of size. Then there’s color, “G?” Color grades are ranges, so a ‘G’ can be very close to an ‘F’ at one end or an ‘H’ at the other, and clarity, ‘VS1’ is still another story, as clarity grades are, again, ranges. Caught in the details of rarity, but not understanding them, these wonderful diamond savants usually bundle ‘carat weight, color, clarity and cut’ together as if they are co-equals in their effects on appearance. They’re not. Beauty is a product of what light does when each of these, in its appropriate proportion, makes a diamond ‘sing’ with light, sparkle and, yes, color. The very best cut diamonds must, like Die Meistersinger, be experienced to be understood, appreciated and treasured. It is the power to astonish that makes art great.

Herr Wagner, I apologize – and, diamond buyers, as one of you, but now a humbled, reformed and chastened auto didact, you need to come see me. We love the art of the diamond and we understand it perfectly! Our only interest is in making the most beautiful diamonds and other fine gems available to you. So lean on us; check out our website, hurstsberwynjewelers.com, then phone us at 708.788.0880 for an appointment with your perfect gem. We’re Hursts’ Berwyn Jewelers, not a common jeweler.

P.S. If you have diamonds or broken or unworn pieces of jewelry that you would like to sell, come in and we’ll help you establish their market value; and perhaps, we’ll make the best offer to buy them.

BROOKFIELD — The Chicago Zoological Society, which manages Brookfield Zoo, encourages residents to visit the zoo today to reflect on the threatened status of polar bears and learn how to help protect their environment.

The event, which takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is in honor of International Polar Bear Day and will highlight the effects that climate change has on these animals.

As guests enter the Great Bear Wilderness underwater viewing area and Hamill Family Play Zoo, they can write a pledge to reduce their carbon footprint on life-size polar bear statues.

The first 300 people to make their pledge will receive a compact fluorescent lightbulb, donated by the Consumer Utility Board.

Children also will be able to participate in polar bearthemed activities at Hamill Family Play Zoo, including tracing and decorating their carbon footprint. Additionally, youngsters will be able to engage in hands-on and minds-on learning in an activity that features helping miniature polar bear figures navigate ice floes — a small expanse of floating ice — in a sensory bin filled with water.

Zookeepers will be on hand to

host a zoo chat at 11:30 a.m. and share interesting facts about Brookfield Zoo’s polar bears, including Aussie, a 27-year-old male. Also, zoo guests who purchase an item from any of the zoo’s gift shops will receive a free reusable bag.

CZS also will take part in the “Thermostat Challenge,” an effort to raise awareness about how daily actions affect polar bears and their sea ice habitat.

CZS will participate by lowering the temperature of the zoo’s indoor non-animal buildings by two degrees to reduce carbon emissions.

The Thermostat Challenge is sponsored by Polar Bears International, the world’s leading polar bear conservation group.

Additional activities that could help slow the pace of climate change and its effect include swapping out incandescent (regular) lightbulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs, buying food grown locally to reduce the need for transporting food thousands of miles and driving a fuel-efficient car to help reduce air pollution.

Admission to Brookfield Zoo is $15 for adults and $10.50 for seniors and children 3 to 11 years old. Children 2 and younger are free.

Parking costs $10. Admission to Hamill Family Play Zoo is free Wednesday.

Local libraries offer winter fun indoors

By JESSICA CILELLA msleditorial@shawmedia.com Local libraries are offering plenty of events this winter to keep kids and adults warm and happy indoors. “(The library) gets you out of the house and it’s a big nice space with a lot of information and entertainment and stimulation and conversation,” said Susan Locander, youth services librarian at the North Riverside Public Library.

“January and February can be pretty bleak and we would like to make that more fun for the kids in our community.”

For a second year, a winter reading club for younger children will be offered at the North Riverside library. Locander added that a recently re-launched pajama story time at 7 p.m. every other Monday has received good response from families.

Lyons Public Library Director Dan Powers said ongoing children’s story times are

popular in the winter, along with kids’ crafts specific to holidays, such as Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day. Powers said in the winter, there are more people taking classes so they will come to the library to find a quiet study space.

“In the wintertime, when there’s less going on and it’s darker and colder, there’s so much programming going on in public libraries,” Powers said. “We always want people to come to the public library.

Their tax dollars pay for the services that go on here.”

Brookfield and Riverside’s libraries are combining efforts for an all-ages program called On the Same Page: Brookfield & Riverside Reading Together. Adults from both libraries are currently reading “Never a City So Real: A Walk in Chicago” by Alex Kotlowitz. A series of events focused on the book will take place before a

For the winter, the library provides a warm and welcoming space for all ages. Families also stock up on books, DVDs, music and video games for entertainment if they know the weather is going to be bad.

“Traditionally speaking, there are not as many community events happening during the winter as there are when the weather is nicer, yet people still want to get out of the house,” Eyre said. “Libraries offer entertainment that is not only local, but free.”

Gun violence is not just a problem in Chicago In recent months, there’s been a great deal of emphasis put on gun violence in the Chicago area. While gun violence has captured the attention of our national leaders, it is really a local problem that affects every community in Cook County.

I was recently asked to serve on the Cook County Justice Advisory Council’s Violence Prevention, Intervention and Reduction Advisory Committee. My appointment, as well as the other members that serve on the committee, was recommended by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.

This committee has many objectives, but one immediate priority is to make grants available to deserving bidders who have new and innovative ideas on how to reduce violence in Cook County. With a total of $1.9 million available for these violence-prevention grants, it is the hope of the committee that we can have these grants delivered by June for the start of the summer.

The purpose behind this committee is really to identify appropriate partners who will provide services to the residents of Cook County who are at risk of involvement or already involved in violence.

Sounds like a lot — not really.

Our intention is to review

In gun court, defendants would face a single judge, the same state’s attorneys, and court dates would be held at the specific courtroom on a specific day. Additionally, the personnel assigned to the gun courtroom could have continuing knowledge and background data on repeat offenders. If we really want to get serious about gun crimes, we should start tracking the defendant’s history all in one location, a gun court.

Technological advances have helped spur the rise in online education. Students can take advantage of top-ranking degree programs while juggling fulltime jobs and balancing family commitments. Technological advances have also made online education an engaging experience; chat rooms, “virtual oice hours�, forums and study groups all help to empower students to engage with their peers and professors.

Consequently, online education is expected to expand in 2013.

Carmella Moran, Dean of Aurora University Online, shares her top trends in online education: 5Gamification: Students are growing up in an increasingly interconnected world. According to the NPD Group more than 211 million Americans play video games. Institutions are starting to include gaming into college completion, test prep and everything in-between. Introducing this new way of learning helps students to engage in the learning process and better retain knowledge for tests and overall retention.

R5 Social Media:Â Almost 98% of 18-24 year olds use a social media network. At many universities including Aurora University Online, discussion boards, study groups, chat rooms and even Facebook groups help create a social community for students.

Because of its widespread popularity, social media is now being used to facilitate learning

management systems and social learning tools.

R5 Blended learning:Â Combining in-classroom learning with virtual learning tools continues as a higher education trend and is also an emerging trend for elementary and secondary schools.

Providing online students with face-to-face opportunities to interact with one another and providing in-class students with online tools ofers students more learning opportunities.

R5 Real-time: As the tutoring market continues to grow in the United States, students are beginning to demand real-time assistance. Online learners, as well as traditional students, can now easily gain real-time help to grasp lessons in virtual classrooms. For example, Aurora University’s Writing Center ofers writing help to students both online and oline.

Students can sign up for “virtual oice hours� where they receive one-on-one tutoring.

In addition to serving as the Dean of Aurora University Online, Moran is the Director and Associate professor for the Aurora University School of Nursing. She has 33 years of experience in the nursing profession, including 18 years in higher education.

Mission Statement

To empower children: � To grow in their Christian faith � To strive for academic excellence through the Montessori Method � To grow in their understanding of the teachings and precepts of the Christian faith � To reach out and serve the community as Christ has called us to do Method. Teachers strive to give the children a irm foundation in the Bible, familiarizing them with God’s word through scripture memorization, stories, songs, signing and drama. Basic Christian fundamentals, rather than a particular doctrine, are interwoven into the fabric of the children’s daily experience.

Montessori teachers strive to give the children a irm academic foundation by using the Montessori Method of education, which was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900’s, and based on the theory that the young child’s mind is

like a sponge which can absorb learning from the surrounding environment. his method builds upon the fact that the years from 3-6 are the foundational years of learning. Children of all ages learn best through individual hands-on learning experiences in an environment where they are free to learn and develop at their own pace. his promotes a love of learning and establishes the foundation for further study of language, math, and the sciences in the elementary years.

Montessori students develop a sense of inner discipline and order which enables them to become

independent learners. hey learn respect for their environment, the materials and each other. he students in each classroom experience freedom within the structure of well understood guidelines, which maintains a peaceful learning environment. Children develop an understanding of what is morally and socially acceptable, based on Christian values, and learn to make wise choices. he Montessori curriculum revolves around a three year cycle. Classrooms are grouped in communities of students within a three year age span. While younger students learn skills at their own level, they also absorb other aspects of the classroom.

Older children further develop their leadership skills while mastering their academics. he children have equal opportunities for independent study as well as shared lessons and activities.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call or schedule an appointment to visit our school.

We encourage you to visit with

your child so you may both have the opportunity to see our classes in progress and decide whether you would like to be a part of Midwest Christian Montessori Academy.

How libraries stay vital in a digital age ity, serve as a location for club meetings, and offer an extensive array of children’s programs. Some libraries have become multimedia centers, housing a media lab where teenagers can create Web content or take a test drive of some of the latest applications available.

Many of these efforts are geared toward younger readers and promoting a love of reading among youngsters.

Because children are the policy makers of the future, libraries find that making changes catered to the younger reader can promote reading while ensuring the long-term viability of libraries.

Despite the digital age, some libraries are still thriving thanks to their ability to adapt to the newest technologies available.

Many libraries have increased their offerings beyond traditional books.

For instance, libraries have long served as low-cost sources for movies and music, offering sizeable DVD and CD collections. But even now movies and songs can be rented inexpensively through various subscription services. As such, many libraries have now begun offering other services.

compared to children who do not receive musical training.

Stanford University researchers have found that musical training improves how the brain processes the spoken word, a finding that researchers say could lead to improving the reading ability of children who have dyslexia and other reading problems.

Furthermore, in an analysis of data on more than 25,000 secondary school students, researchers at the United States Department of Education found that students who report consistent involvement in instrumental music during middle school and high school perform significantly better in mathematics by grade 12 than those who do not participate in music programs.

There are many reasons why music education can help to make a child a better student, but there also are other benefits that go beyond the classroom environment.

Being involved in music also is a social endeavor, and music education can

set the course for lifelong friends and help create social groups that last through school and beyond.

Music education breeds familiarity during a school career, when going from class to class or from school to school every year can be nervewracking and unfamiliar. Walking inside of a band room, whether in elementary

school or high school, can create a sense of belonging.

It is also a place where students not involved in sports or other activities can gather.

Children who move a lot due to a parent’s work may find that joining the marching band or participation in the choir is the one portion of school that is familiar no matter where they attend school.

While neighborhoods may change and teachers differ from school to school, music can be a reliable constant.

While not every child will go on to be the next, great musical sensation, thanks to music education at school, he or she will have learned lessons in working as a team and other social benefits that will help in all areas of life.

chool is much more than a place where students gather to learn. For children, school is their first opportunity for social development and introduction to people outside of their family unit.

Lessons learned in school go beyond mathematics and language arts. Students learn to cultivate individual interests and find other people who share their interests. Music is one of the ways like-minded children come together.

When many people talk about the benefits of music education, they’re quick to point out all of the quantitative and measurable results of that music education. For instance, numerous studies have shown the positive impact music programs can have on children in other areas of study.

Dr. Laurel Trainor, a professor of psychology, neuroscience and behavior at McMaster University, has said that young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory

Havlicek Elementary School celebrates 100 years Students learn about Czech history while parents reminisce

By JOE SINOPOLI jsinopoli@shawmedia.com BERWYN — You’re 6 years old, and you can’t sit still at the breakfast table. Your buttonup shoes barely hit the cobblestones as you race down the street, dodging milk carts to join your pals at the new Havlicek School.

It’s 1913.

Teachers, parents and students — young and old — celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Berwyn elementary school at 6401 S. 15th St. on Friday with tours and displays of student projects related to the school’s history and its connection to Czech heritage through the school’s namesake, Karel Havlicek, a Czech writer, poet, critic, politician, journalist and publisher.

Principal Nancy Akin said the anniversary precipitated a flurry of work in the classroom. Students in computer classes researched the life of Karel Havlicek, while kindergartners learned to count to 10 in English, Spanish and Czech.

Students in art classes are working on a portrait of Havlicek and third-graders learned about life in 1913, writing essays from Havlicek’s perspective.

In music classes, students learned songs popular during each decade of the school’s life.

Of course, the visitors played a major part in the festivities.

“We had a huge guestbook so people could sign in and record their relationship to Havlicek School,” Akin said.

“When we celebrate 200 years, they can look back and see who was here at that time.”

Joan Gilbert first walked through the doors of Havlicek School in 1958 as a kindergarten student. Little did she know she would some day become a teacher at her former school.

“My kindergarten teacher was Miss Moffit, and it was

Havlicek School over the years Each decade of the Havlicek School history brought its own challenges, Principal Nancy Akin said. In the 1940s, World War II was on everyone’s mind. The day began with the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner.”

The school showed its support to servicemen overseas by collecting items for the American Red Cross. During that decade, the school started an Opera Club, Homemakers Club, Sewing Machine Club and a basketball team.

In the 1950s, parents were concerned about fireworks safety and the lack of steel available to build schools. The school started up its patrol group, boys only. A committee was formed of teachers and parents to determine which comic books were not recommended for children, Akin said. The threat of nuclear war prompted catastrophe drills.

In the 1960s came Havlicek’s first summer school program, and students would participate in Cleanup Week to tidy up the school grounds and the neighborhood.

In 1975, a fire gutted most of the school but reconstruction was completed within the year.

The 80s brought gang and drug awareness. The first Student Council was formed, and In 1987, children could no longer go home for lunch. An addition was built the same year.

The 90s were marked by an increase in parental involvement in the school. In 2003, the commons area, media center and computer lab were added.

In 2012, Dr. Carmen I. Ayala became the first female superintendent of District 98.

funny because when I went there to teach I ended up in the same room I attended kindergarten,” said Gilbert, who now teaches at Prairie Oak School. “The tiles on the floor were the same. It didn’t really

strike me that much until one day as my kids were coming into the classroom, a man came in and said, ‘Joannie?’”

The man was a former kindergarten classmate of Gilbert’s who had come to visit the school.

Gilbert has fond memories of the half-day kindergarten where naps on small, braided rugs were mandatory, a milk break was taken daily and Miss Moffitt would play the piano for her students.

“I loved it there,” she said.

“It was a very nice place to go to school.”

Gilbert’s mother, Virginia Zaleta, also attended Havlicek School, starting in 1923. She would go on to be a president of the PTA. When it was built, the school was more than just a building for kids to get an education, Akin said.

“Originally, the school was a gathering place for adults,” she said. “Sometimes it stayed open until 11:30 p.m. to give parents a place to socialize.”

And the school has faced its share of adversity. During the Great Depression, a fund was established to pay the teachers, with parents asked to contribute 25 cents a week, Akin said.

In 1975, a suspicious fire gutted a large portion of the school, destroying the principal’s office, the main office, the gymnasium and kitchen. Akin said arson was suspected, but the case remains unsolved.

District 98 takes a proactive approach with its schools, Akin said, and Havlicek is no exception. The entrance to the front office is being redesigned in a way so visitors must check in before going through the rest of the school.

The redesign began before to the Newtown, Conn., school shooting tragedy.

“This district, thought small, tries to be proactive, which is good,” Akin said.

“We call Havlicek School our home away from home, and it’s been that way for years.”

Sliding into jazz

By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com

A

fter a lengthy hiatus from music, multitalented musician Dale Ryant of Brookfield picked it back up just eight months ago. Since then, he has submerged himself in the medium — playing shows, taking lessons and constantly practicing.

Although currently focused on trombone, Ryant also can play bagpipes, piano and guitar.

One of the groups Ryant has been playing with is Top Shelf Chicago, featuring Joe Duna. They recently performed several shows at the Salt Creek Wine Bar, a Brookfield destination for the fruit of the vine and entertainment. Ryant and the band will be back March 15.

In addition to his musical projects, Ryant maintains a full schedule. He’s an anatomy, physiology and terminology teacher in Chicago, as well as a nuclear medicine tech. But music is his passion, and Ryant is determined to keep playing — no matter how chal-

lenging the time demands.

When did you pick up the trombone?

Well I started playing piano when I was 5, and the way it worked back then was that when you got into fourth grade, the band director would come in and try to get people interested in playing instruments. I just thought it looked cool. The funny thing is my arms weren’t long enough. My mom and dad were always into music, so they told me they weren’t going to buy me a student horn, but rather, they would get me a grown-up horn and I would get used to it. I couldn’t reach, so I would just throw the slide out. But I grew into it.

What’s the best part about playing instruments?

I always get two to three hours of practice in, and I study with a teacher because it’s a really fun thing to do, and I wish more people would open up to live music. There’s so many

Brookfield trombonist picks up music where he left off

kids that can play a horn well, which is great. That’s what kept me out of trouble when I was a kid. I was always doing it, and my parents had the money to get me a horn, so I would just play. I’ve been really fortunate and I couldn’t have done it without my wife and my mom — they’re all very supportive.

You’ve appeared several times at the Salt Creek Wine Bar. How did that start?

Well, there was a performance (planned) at the Salt Creek Wine Bar, and they said, ‘Why don’t you get your horn out?’ I just sat in with Joe Duna one night and started playing.

It’s been a lot of fun, because we play a lot of everything. I also have been playing with a couple of other jazz groups in the area.

What’s in the future for you?

One of the things that I really want to do is to try to work with younger kids coming up in jazz band.

Hear him play What: Trombonist Dale Ryant collaborates with fellow musicians including Top Shelf Chicago When: 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. Friday, March 15 Where: Salt Creek Wine Bar, 8900 Fairview Ave., Brookfield More info: facebook.com/ topshelfchicago, reverbnation.com/ topshelfchicago or email Dale Ryant at surfn79@gmail.com

I was just talking to a guy that is the band director at UIC College Prep High School (in Chicago). I would like to just help the kids find it’s cool to be in a band. It can be cool if you play it very well. I would love to do that.

I would also like to just improve and get out and play different things.

Unselfish Claywell leads RB to first league title since 2008

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE — At the beginning of the season, few people around the Riverside Brookfield girls basketball program knew what to expect from the team since the Bulldogs lost 13 seniors from the year before.

Senior guard Hannah Claywell, one of two returners along with Brittney JnoBaptiste, stepped up to key RB’s run to the Metro Suburban Conference title and a 24-5 overall record as the team’s leading scorer (14.2 points per game).

“She carried us in all facets and phases,” said RB coach Dallas Till. “There’s no question we wouldn’t have been anywhere near as successful without her. She embraced her Hannah role as the go-to girl for this team.”

Claywell was also a model of conClaywell sistency, scoring double figures in 25 of the Bulldogs’ 29 games this seaPoints per son. Till noted that three of the four game: 14.2 other games were decisive victories Rebounds per where Claywell didn’t play most of game: 3.8 the game.

Assists per In the regional final against Progame: 2.4 viso East, the Bulldogs were down Steals per as many as 18 points. As seniors, game: 2.3 Claywell and JnoBaptiste rallied the team.

“I kind of realized this might be my last game and I didn’t want it to end,” Claywell said. “Brittney and I, at halftime, we talked to each other and you could tell that we were going to come back and make it interesting.”

Claywell scored 10 points in the third quarter to bring the Bulldogs back. They erased the deficit to take a lead before losing in the final seconds.

Regardless of the playoffs, the top triumph of the season was winning the MSC title. That was RB’s first conference title since 2008.

“That was really exciting that we finally got that because that’s what we’ve been focusing on,” Claywell said. “We can look at that picture on the wall for years.”

An added bonus to winning the league title was that RB’s coaches, Till and assistant Mark Ruge, made a playful bet with the girls as extra motivation for winning conference. When the Bulldogs won, Till had to get frosted tips in his hair and Ruge, recognizable for his slicked-back hair, had to go without hair gel for a day.

“I just love the bond we had with our coaches and how much they love us that they’re willing to do that,” Claywell said.

Claywell isn’t sure of her future and whether collegiate sports lie ahead. She does have the girls soccer season just getting under way.

Wherever she goes, it’s clear that Till will miss having Claywell in his huddle.

“She would feel bad almost about scoring so many points at times,” Till said. “She never once asked about how many points she scored. It is great to have such an unselfish teammate.”

Beck was the interior threat for LT this season. She was the Lions’ most efficient scorer, making 44 percent of her field-goal attempts.

She was third on the team with 8.7 points per game and second in rebounds with 5.3.

The Panthers won the West Suburban Silver title with an 11-1 record thanks in large part to Boyd’s ability. The guard lived up to the hype of a returning all-conference athlete to lead a team that had just three seniors.

She also grabbed 3.8 rebounds, dished out 2.4 assists and averaged 2.3 steals per game.

Few players have the allaround game of Davis. She led the Lions in rebounds (6.1 per game), steals (2.5 per game) and blocks (36) while coming in just behind Victoria Swift for LT’s scoring lead with 11.1 points per game. The versatile guard will showcase her abilities for Kishwaukee College in Malta, Ill.

Morton boasted a 10-win improvement from last season, finishing the season 14-14. Gonzalez, a four-year varsity player, averaged a double-double. The guard scored 14 points per game to lead the Mustangs and hauled in 10 rebounds per game as well.

Shaakera Jones School: St. Joseph Year: Senior

It wasn’t the best season for the Lady Chargers, but Jones was a standout. The 6-foot-1 center averaged 13.4 points and seven rebounds per game to lead the team in both categories.

Brittney JnoBaptiste School: Riverside Brookfield Year: Senior

After primarily coming off the bench last season, JnoBaptiste adjusted well to more of a starring role this year. The forward averaged 12.4 points per game and 7.8 rebounds per contest to help RB to a 24-5 season.

Jade Owens School: Fenwick Year: Junior

Owens was the most dangerous weapon in the Friars’ high-paced style. The quick guard passed the 1,000-point mark for her career this season and was an all-East Suburban Catholic Conference pick for the second year in a row. Owens missed two games late in the season and the Fenwick offense never got back to its best down the stretch. Despite the late season slump the Friars still averaged 73 points per game.

Sixteen wrestlers to return from RB’s sectional team

RB boys rack up milestones in final week of regular season SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com MIDLOTHIAN — The Riverside Brookfield wrestling team may not have had the outcome it hoped for in the wrestling dual team sectional.

But with 16 of 20 varsity wrestlers expected back, there is reason optimism in the Sectional score for program.

The Bulldogs lost Bowen 44 to Bowen 44-24 on Feb. Riverside Brookfield 24 19 at Bremen. Bowen proved to be a difficult opponent after coming four points short of taking a state trophy following a 31-27 loss to Antioch in the quarterfinal.

RB coach Mike Bertoni was impressed with Bowen, but remained upbeat about the season in general.

“I couldn’t be more impressed with the way they went out and battled every second of every match,” Bertoni said. “I’m disappointed we lost, but I was extremely thrilled the performance all together.

“I had 20 guys on that roster and it took all 20 of them to get ready for that match.”

Of those 20, just four were seniors — Danny Russell, Vince Zaccagnini, Nick Brusaw and Joe Sanders. All four were key parts to the team, but Russell and Zaccagnini had especially strong seasons.

Russell moved up two weight classes, from 145 to 160, for the second year in a row and was still one of the best wrestlers on the team. Zaccagnini had 34 wins, most on the team.

“The seniors on the team really had some good leadership,” Bertoni said. “Hopefully the momentum will carry into next year.”

RIVERSIDE — The final week of the regular season doesn’t always have a lot of drama, but the Riverside Brookfield boys basketball program tallied up notable accomplishments throughout the week.

The varsity team picked up a win over St. RB’s next Charles East, game 63-60, on Feb. 19 to kick it What: Class 4A off. Damonta regional semifinal Henry passed When: 7:30 p.m. the 1,000-point Wednesday mark for his caWhere: Hoffman reer by scoring Estates High School, 23 points. Miki 1100 W. Higgins Ljuboja scored Road 11 and Will Kincanon added 10 for RB. That win gave the Bulldogs a fifth consecutive 20-win season.

On Friday, RB beat Elmwood Park 64-51 on senior night to lock up the outright Metro Suburban Conference title. Henry scored 19 and Ljuboja had 11 in the win. The Bulldogs finished 11-1 in conference play.

The other notable accomplishment for the program was the freshman A squad going undefeated for the season. They are the first team to do so in school history. The freshman A team went 24-0 overall and 12-0 in the MSC. Undefeated conference titles for the sophomore team and the freshman B team gave RB the MSC title across all four levels with a combined 47-1 record.
