Riverside-based cremation scattering service honors loved one with final flight

By BECKY NEEMS bneems@shawmedia.com

Cessna 172 high-wing, fixedwing airplane all over Lake Michigan to wherever the family chooses. Susan Martinek scatters the cremated remains out of a rip stock nylon disposal unit and then scatters rose petals in the person’s memory.

“Every time you look up in the sky you’ll think of Auntie May,” Susan Martinek said.

The Cessna 172 is able to go

anywhere on Lake Michigan within 3 miles of the shore.

Scattering the remains on water is legal under Federal Aviation Administration regulations, and the Martineks receive permission on land through the property’s owner.

Some of the popular areas in Chicago have been near the John Hancock Building, Belmont Harbor and Promontory

Q: What’s something you wished you’d done, but didn’t do?

Point in Hyde Park. Outside of the city, people have gone to the Indiana Dunes, Door County and Green Bay, Wis. Egress has several options for people to choose what type of scattering they prefer. They include unattended scattering, witnessed scattering, ridealong scattering, military scattering and dual scattering.

Dennis and Susan Martinek stand by their Cessna 172 high-wing plane used by their cremation scattering service company. Their business, Egress, is celebrating 20 years of scattering the remains of loved ones throughout Lake Michigan region.

BSL

RIVERSIDE – Looking up in the sky near Lake Michigan, one might see a small plane flying above the water helping family members move on after a loved one’s passing.

Egress, a Riverside-based cremation scattering service, is celebrating 20 years of business this year. Its founders, Susan and Dennis Martinek, started their unique business to help families in need of closure in a meaningful, environmentally friendly way.

“It’s a great cause and less harmful on the environment,” Sara Martinek, daughter of Susan and Dennis and business developer of Egress, said. “It’s a niche market. We’re solving problems for people in a great way.”

Susan Martinek said one reason people seek them out is the expense involved in burying a loved one.

“It’s one of the best things to do and cheapest,” Susan Martinek said. “If it’s applicable, it’s a wonderful celebration of their life.”

The Martineks take their

the most emotional moments was a dual scattering of the remains of a grandfather, grandson and dog at once.

“I cried with them for those few minutes. I am the last one to hold [the loved one],” Susan Martinek said.

The business started while Dennis Martinek was a corporate pilot. He read a magazine and saw a business called Trail’s End that used Native American traditions to scatter ashes over mountains in Colorado. The family revamped the idea and Dennis Martinek continues to fly for the business.

“He’d rather fly than do anything,” Susan Martinek said.

He made her fly to Geneva on their first date, she said.

“I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but we’ve helped many families move on,” Susan Martinek said. “I feel very proud of what we do.”

Egress does not offer cremation services, but they are approved by the Cremation Society of Illinois and the Cremation Association of America.

Ashes to ashes

Brookfield Zoo dolphin dies days after birth SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BROOKFIELD – Officials at the Brookfield Zoo announced Thursday that a female dolphin calf has died.

The Brookfield Zoo announced the birth of the calf to Allie, a 26-year-old bottle nose dolphin, earlier this week. The unnamed baby was born about 11 a.m. Aug. 2 and died Thursday morning.

A necropsy (animal autopsy) is pending, according to a Photo provided news release.

A female dolphin calf born Aug. 2 died Thursday morning. A necropsy “This was devastating to everyone in our zoo family, (animal autopsy) is pending.

but particularly to the dolphin staff,” said Bill Zeigler, senior vice president of collections and animal care for the Chicago Zoological Society. “Our experienced veterinary and marine mammal staff provided the best possible care to the calf’s 26-yearold mother, Allie, throughout her pregnancy. Our primary concern now is for the well-being of Allie, who is being monitored closely.”

According to the release, the calf began a sudden and rapid decline Aug. 7. The zoo’s dolphin staff was “cautiously optimistic” as the calf began nursing and swimming with its mother. Late Aug. 7

and early Thursday, zoo staff reported that the frequency of the calf’s nursing was down.

The calf’s health continued to decline. Staff stepped in and began providing CPR in an attempt to resuscitate her, but efforts were unsuccessful and the calf died.

According to the release, young calves can fade quickly.

The release cited studies from a 43-year-old wild dolphin research program in Sarasota, Fla., that show that moralities of neonatal calves during the first 30 days of life account for the largest rate of loss to dolphin populations in the wild.

On a mission Brookfield residents discuss involvement with Peace Corps

By DOUG GRAHAM msleditorial@shawmedia.com BROOKFIELD – Joe Daniels is leaving his hometown of Brookfield for the Peace Corps, just weeks after another Brookfield resident, Hallie Kyrias, returned from her two-year Peace Corps adventure.

Although both of the young adults, who’ve never met each other, made the decision to leave their American lives behind to help people they’ve never met, each came to that decision in different ways.

Daniels, 22, said his love of volunteering sparked his interest in the Peace Corps.

“In high school, I was a member of Interact Club,” Daniels, a graduate of Lyons Township High School’s Class of 2009, said. “[The club] went on three spring break work trips down south. In college, I have also gone on three spring break work trips, and have also found other places to volunteer.”

For Kyrias, 25, it was

the travel bug that initially brought her to the Peace Corps. She studied abroad in New Zealand during college.

“It was there that I fell in love with travel, adventure and meeting new people from

Continued from page 7 all over the world,” Kyrias said. “I traveled to Samoa, where I met Peace Corps volunteers for the first time, and after talking to them about what they do and how they live, the idea of joining the Peace Corps was planted in my head.”

Daniels too talked with Peace Corps volunteers before committing to becoming one himself. He has a friend serving as an environmental volunteer in Nicaragua who told him about the experience. The more he heard from her, the better he felt about going.

Ready or not, Daniels departed for Nicaragua on Tuesday. He said he’s worried about overcoming the language barrier in his Spanish speaking host nation.

If Kyrias’ experience is anything to go off of, Daniels has good reason to be wary.

“The hardest adjustment was the language,” Kyrias said. “I went down there with pretty mediocre Spanish, and so being instantly surrounded by it and going through intensive Peace Corps agriculture and Spanish training all day everyday was very mentally draining at first.”

Kyrias said the rest of the the major changes – including eating Panamanian food and using a dug-out latrine – were much easier to handle.

Given the environmental realities one faces while living in the Panamanian jungle, like Kyrias did, you might have thought she would have said the hardest adjustment was having to deal with tarantulas, snakes and scorpions. But Kyrias, unfazed, said those things were “[not] anything a machete couldn’t take care of.”

In addition to casually macheteing creatures that most only encounter in nightmares, Kyrias also dealt with parasitic fly larvae growing in her head for a month. But Kyrias seemed to take it all in stride.

“I never felt particularly threatened in a way that I couldn’t handle, although my mother would tell you differently,” Kyrias said.

Daniels said he has been told by Peace Corps veterans to prepare himself for a life

“I’ve gone through some of the most physically and emotionally challenging trials of my life.”

Hallie Kyrias Brookield resident without the bare essentials for a young American, namely no Internet or running water. Also, that he should be less concerned with material things and to expect to be the victim of some petty thefts.

“I’ve prepared myself for more dangerous conditions than in the United States,” Daniels said. “But when you really think about it, you can be robbed on the streets in Chicago, too.”

Daniels said, just hours from the beginning of his adventure, he felt a mixture of being really excited and a bit nervous.

“I’m definitely going to miss chocolate,” Daniels confessed. “I’ve become slightly addicted, and it’s hard to come by there from what I understand.”

Kyrias said as hard as it was to leave America, it also was difficult to come back.

“When I left site it was a bit depressing because after two years of living there I had made some strong relationships,” Kyrias said.

“They threw me a big going away party, and we were all crying by the end.”

While on site, Kyrias said she led several projects to better the lives of the community, including establishing several coffee farms and constructing a fish farming tank. She was proud of her work but was sad that she wouldn’t be there to see the fruits of her labor. She said the tanks won’t have fish to harvest for at least six months and the coffee harvesting operations will not begin for at least three years.

When asked what Kyrias will take away from her two years in Panama, she was introspective.

“I’ve gone through some of the most physically and emotionally challenging trials of my life,” Kyrias said.

“But now, I feel more confident to say that I can handle anything that comes my way, because I’ve most likely been through something more demanding.”

I think I made about three different attempts to try to get to the library and streets were shut down. I know it was the first time they ever did this, but my opinion and suggestion, would be maybe to try it on a Sunday or Saturday morning early in the morning before businesses and things are open.

If you research the history of the term “the dog days of summer” at your library, you will find that the ancient Greeks and Romans actually were the ones who first began associating the “Dog Star,” Sirius, with the extremely hot summer weather.

The dog days originally were the days when Sirius rose at the same time as sunrise (alCOMMUNITY though this is no longer the case), and the ancient Greeks VOICE and Romans believed that the Dan star, Sirius, was the cause of Powers the hot, sultry weather. Dog days were believed to be an evil time when seas boiled, wines turned sour, creatures became languid and dogs grew mad. Even man became lackluster and uninspired. The dog days generally are considered to be in session from the middle of July through the middle of August.

Lethargy in hot weather and leisurely activities during the summer months seem to be the norms even today. This is not the case, however, in the world of public libraries. During the summer months in the public library world, the biggest event, of course, is summer reading. In Lyons, we’ve had an extremely successful program this year.

The planning and implementation of the program alone takes about 30 hours a day (seemingly, anyway). At the Lyons Public Library, in addition to the time constraints of the summer reading program, we continue with other regular programming. We place more books orders during the summer than at other times, and we just started our huge recycling drive (come to the library for information). August also is the time that we at the Lyons Public Library have decided to begin an all library materials weeding program.

The village of Lyons started a Community Market for the first time ever, which will be every Monday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Oct. 28. The Lyons Public Library has a booth at the market. Getting our library’s booth together was more work than you might imagine. Although, I must admit, it was fun and exciting “work.”

While the rest of the world is trying to remain unhurried and laid-back during the dog days of summer, remember that your local public library is working harder than ever for its patrons.

Your journey starts here!

A thumbs up to the Brookfield Public Library on its recent purchase of a MakerBot Replicator 2 3-D printer. It’s nice to see the library staying on top of technology. At $2,199 a pop, these machines aren’t cheap. But, the library’s printer will be available to the public for use, making it accessible to those who could not (or would not) buy one for themselves.

A review of news reports about 3-D printing shows the many applications these machines can have now and in the future. It’s no longer the stuff of science fiction to believe that just as every home has a computer these days, soon we all might print all sorts of projects for ourselves.

• LETTERS Continued from page 11 not fund this 50 percent match grant for a proven lifesaving program.

I was shot in the line of duty on August 12, 1987 while working as a patrol officer in Riverside. I can personally testify that without the benefit of my bulletproof vest, I would not be writing you this letter today.

I was shot at close range with a sawed off shotgun in my chest … and survived.

As you may know, the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Act of 1988, Public Law #105-181 has a single objective – to protect the lives of law enforcement officers by helping state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies provide officers with armored vests.

The program pays up to 50 percent of the total cost of each vest ordered. This includes the cost of vests, vest carriers, inserts and covers considered integral or essential for its proper care, use and wear. Riverside Police Department has taken advantage of this grant program since its inception.

According to recent published studies, a police officer who is shot is 14 times more likely to die if they are not wearing body armor. The Bulletproof Vest Program has supplied over one million vests in the last decade to law enforcement throughout the country.

I implore those of you in Congress to restore funding immediately to the Bulletproof Vest Partnership!

Sincerely, Thomas Weitzel Chief of Police Riverside

Stay local. Save local.

RIVERSIDE – Riverside police issued a community alert Aug. 7 after a 14-year-old Berwyn girl was approached by a man in a white van near Herrick and Herbert roads.

Police said they received the report Aug. 3 at 6:30 p.m.

Police said the girl was riding her bike eastbound on Herrick Road from Herbert Road when man in a dirty, white minivan pulled up next to her, pointed at her and said “come here.”

The girl told police she felt afraid and turned around and rode back to her friend’s house

where she made the report.

Police said the van was described as a white minivan, possibly a Dodge Caravan, with sliver hubcaps or rims.

The man was described as white, with curly hair and in his 50s.

The van was last seen going eastbound on Herrick toward Harlem Avenue.

Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel said in a news release that other area police departments have been notified, but none have reported any similar incidents. Area schools also have been notified, Weitzel said, to have the information when school opens.

It’s Your Money

By Linda Sokol Francis, E.A. NEW ADJUSTMENTS ON THE AMT Starting this year, the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) has been adjusted for inflation. The exemptions, the phaseout thresholds and the line between the 26-percent and 28-percent AMT brackets have been raised.

The new exemptions are $51,900 for singles and heads of households, $80,800 for couples filing jointly or qualifying widows or widowers and $40,400 for marrieds filing individually. Phaseouts of exemptions start at $115, 400 for single taxpayers and heads of households, $153,900 for couples filing jointly and half that for marrieds filing individually. The exemptions will be phased out totally at $323,000 for singles, $477,100 for couples filing jointly and half that for those filing individually.

For 2013, the AMT rate is 26-percent for the first $179,500 of taxable income (AMTI less exemptions) or $89,750 for couples filing individually, and 28-percent for income over that.

Restaurant reviews

A splendid taste of East Asia at Thipi Thai GLEN ELLYN – There’s nothing quite like the mix of sweet and savory flavors that you get from Thai food.

Spiciness is a hallmark of many forms of Asian cuisine, and you’ll get that from Thai food, too. But the combination of opposing flavors sets Thai food apart.

As a longtime fan of the cuisine, I had high hopes when I stopped by Thipi Thai in Glen Ellyn on a recent weeknight. And my dining companion, even more of an aficionado, was nearly chomping at the bit with hunger.

Fortunately, we were not disappointed. From the enchanting decor to the delightful dishes, we were in for a terrifically memorable meal.

Without hesitation, we placed our drink orders as soon as we saw the menu – we never pass up a chance to get Thai iced tea. It’s a strongly brewed iced tea with sugar and condensed milk.

The milk and the sugar complement the bitterness of the tea rather than masking it, making for a sensation that engages your taste buds.

For appetizers, I opted for the shumai steamed crabmeat dumplings served with soy sesame vinaigrette for dipping. It’s a common order for me, and Thipi Thai’s version was just right. My companion went for the coconut shrimp, which came with a pineapple mango sauce.

“Perfectly sweet and tangy,” my dining companion said.

On to the entrees. We’re both big fans of pad woonsen, which is what my companion ordered, but I thought I’d try something different and selected the orange beef. I’m only moderately tolerant of spicy food, but the menu showed just one pepper next to my choice – the scale appears to go up to three for items such as kung pao noodle chicken.

One particularly spicy pepper caught me by sur-

Pad woonsen chicken can be flavorless at a lesser restaurant, but that’s not a problem at Thipi Thai.

The coconut shrimp are plenty tasty, but it’s the pineapple mango sauce that really seals the deal.

prise, but otherwise it was just right, with the pineapple and mandarin orange slices providing the perfect contrast to the peppers and beef.

I should have saved some to bring home, however,

because I left myself without any room for dessert.

I probably would have chosen the “chocolate pyramid” – chocolate mousse with sauteed bananas over a rum sauce.

I requested a few bites of my companion’s pad woonsen with chicken, and very much enjoyed the mix of cellophane noodles (I’ve seen them referred to as glass noodles elsewhere), chicken, egg and vegetables in a brown

garlic sauce.

Thipi Thai has a high-ceilinged dining area, with an alcove toward the back that’s

up a flight of stairs. Prints of Asian scenes and delightful elephants carved from driftwood adorn the walls.

We found the service to be excellent, attentive without being obtrusive. And the menu has plenty of dishes I’ve never tried before to tempt me to return.

Committed Bulldogs’ ace pitcher finishes college recruiting process before senior year

Bill Ackerman file photo – backerman@shawmedia.com

Riverside-Brookfield pitcher Will Kincanon ended his recruiting process when he committed to Middle Tennessee State University last week.

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – When Will Kincanon had a breakout junior year and a strong summer to follow, more and more college programs gave the Riverside Brookfield pitcher attention.

Ultimately, it was one of the first schools to recruit Kincanon that will see the RB star take the mound in its colors.

Kincanon committed to Middle Tennessee State last week. He said the school, and specifically pitching coach Skyler Meade, has been re-

cruiting him the longest.

“He started recruiting me before everybody else, before everybody knew about me,” Kincanon said. “I kind of blew up a little bit because I went to showcases.”

MTSU is located in Murfreesboro, about 35 miles southeast of Nashville. The location of the school also played a factor in Kincanon’s decision.

“I definitely like the area around the school in Nashville,” he said. “I like Nashville a lot. There’s a lot of things to do there. That was big for me.”

spring, Kincanon emerged as one of the top pitchers in the state. He was named to the Class 3A All-State team by the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association after leading the Bulldogs to the Metro Suburban Conference title, a regional championship and a school record for wins in a season (32).

As Kincanon’s profile

grew, the recruiting attention picked up. He admitted the attention is good at first, but it can become stressful. Kincanon was happy to make his decision early and finish the process before his senior year of high school started.

“Really, it’s relieving,” Kincanon said. “It was definitely a tough decision, but it’s good to have it behind me.

“I just wanted to get it over with before I started senior season for baseball and everything so I have it off my chest.

I feel like it was the best place for me even though I was really considering Kansas State and Creighton. I felt it was the

right time so I got the scholarship and I committed.”

The Blue Raiders went 2828 this past spring and held an 11-19 record in the Sun Belt.

The school made the switch to Conference USA and will begin play in that league starting this fall.

Kincanon said playing in a respected conference while having the chance to play right away sealed the deal for him.

“One thing that was big in my process was if I was going to have a spot right away,” he said. “I think there I’m going to have a weekend starting spot right when I get on campus.”

8COLLEGE NOTES

RB connection continues for St. Joseph football Former high school teammates Billy VandeMerkt (Riverside Brookfield, Riverside) and Watoris Slater (Riverside Brookfield, La Grange) made major contributions to the St. Joseph’s College football team last fall and should connect for more this year.

VandeMerkt, a senior quarterback, threw for 2,417 yards and 25 touchdowns. Slater, a junior wide receiver, had six receptions for 99 yards and caught a pair of TDs from VandeMerkt. Slater also was named Special Teams Player of the Year for the Pumas.

Look for the former RB duo to connect on more pass plays this season.

first year on campus at Illinois State. He ran in the first two races before sitting out the rest of the cross country season. With a year of college under his belt, Trevizo will be hoping to move up the ladder for the Redbirds.

Top Star Erwin Kehrt (Riverside Brookfield, Brookfield) was one of Dominican University’s top cross country runner in four of his six races last season. Now Kehrt is a senior, putting him in a leadership role on and off the course for the Stars. He ran 31:38.59 in the 8,000 meters at the Northern Athletics Conference Championships.

Soaring Eagle Running for a spot After setting school records and qualifying for four state events as a senior, Travis Trevizo (Riverside Brookfield, Brookfield) redshirted on his

Chris Dziagwa (Riverside Brookfield, Brookfield) hit the ground running for Benedictine University cross country last fall. As a freshman, Dziagwa ran in six races and

competed in the Northern Athletics Conference Championships. Heading into his second year on campus, Dziagwa could be a top runner for the Eagles.

Pioneer leader Grinnell senior defender Jerry Brown (Riverside Brookfield, Riverside) is one of three seniors on the Pioneers’ men’s soccer roster this fall. Brown, who was a four-time all-conference pick for the Bulldogs in high school, played in 16 matches and made eight starts last season. Brown’s Grinnell teammate, Ben Warner (St. Ignatius/Riverside), also should see major time for the Pioneers. Warner, who will be a junior midfielder, played in all 18 matches last year, scoring two goals and assisting on six more. He earned a second-team all-Midwest Conference nod.

Lone veteran

The Roosevelt University men’s soccer program is in its infancy. The Lakers’ debut season was last fall, and T.J. Armic (Riverside Brookfield, Riverside) was a part of it.

After spending a year at Triton College, Armic joined the Lakers as one of three sophomores on the roster.

This fall he will be the only junior because the other two sophomores from last year are no longer with the team. The midfielder made 11 starts and played in all 17 matches for the Lakers, who went 2-13-2 last year.

er. Max will bring his Knox team to Waukesha, Wis., to take on Mason’s Carroll squad on Oct. 26.

Do-it-all player Kristina Frampton (Riverside Brookfield, North Riverside) is listed as a defender/forward on the Benedictine University women’s soccer roster.

She also played the last five games of the 2012 season as a goalkeeper for the Eagles.

This season Frampton will continue her versatility as a senior.

New girl in town Sibling rivalry Max Dorsey (Riverside Brookfield, Brookfield) played for Knox College last year and started all 17 matches for the Prairie Fire as a freshman. His younger brother, Mason, will join him in the Midwest Conference, but on an opposing team. Mason will suit up for Carroll as a freshman defend-

After spending two years on the Triton College volleyball team, Cassie Cook (Riverside Brookfield, Brookfield) has landed at Roosevelt University. The Lakers are entering their third year of existence.

Cook, a junior outside hitter, will hope to help the program reach new heights.

Ground rules for gridiron practices in effect

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Fall sports officially can begin practicing today, but things will be slightly different for high school football teams.

The IHSA tinkered with the rules for the first couple of weeks of fall practices, but the changes aren’t affecting each team and coaching staff the same way.

The limited hours, which were created in part to avoid health issues in the August heat, aren’t a massive change for most teams. However, with just three hours to practice, it creates a need to be more efficient with that time.

Lyons Township barely is affected by the alteration due to the fact that school hours start on Thursday with two administration days. That

IHSA football practice guidelines With its preseason football acclimatization practice period, the IHSA has set specific guidelines for football practices through Aug. 27.

Aug. 14-15: 3 hour limit, helmet only Aug. 16-17: 3 hour limit, helmet and shoulder pads Aug. 19: 3 hour limit, helmet and shoulder pads Aug. 20: 5 hour limit, full pads Aug. 21: 3 hour limit, full pads Aug. 22: 5 hour limit, full pads Aug. 23: 3 hour limit, full pads Aug. 24: 5 hour limit, full pads Aug. 26: 5 hour limit, full pads Aug. 27: 3 hour limit, full pads Note: A one hour walk-through is also allowed each day, though players can’t be wearing protective equipment or do any running activities. There must be two hours of rest between all practices and walk-throughs, and no single practice can exceed three hours.

Teams are not allowed to practice Sundays during the preseason. means the Lions only have one day of shortened preseason practices. Riverside

Brookfield starts school on the same day as practice begins, but RB coach Brendan

Curtin still was in favor of the changes for the most part.

“Any coach needs to make sure we’re putting safety first,” Curtin said. “It’s a step in the right direction. The system is definitely better in the sense that we’re putting some requirements on how long we can go.”

Other nearby schools don’t have the same school calendar, so they will have more of the altered practices. Morton starts school on Aug. 26 and Nazareth starts Monday.

“I think most people follow a similar kind of schedule anyway,” said LT coach Kurt Weinberg. “If they want to make it similar across the board it’s not a terrible thing.”

Weinberg said the biggest difference for his schedule is that two-a-day practices now require a longer gap in between practice. This has more

of an affect on the younger levels, where kids don’t have the ability to drive and leave campus for that time.

“That’s tough with those lower levels that don’t have the opportunity to leave or drive,” Weinberg said. “So now you have this big chunk of time without the mobility and having the ability to leave.”

The next step in the changes likely will relate to summer practices. Curtin and Weinberg assumed summer workouts will be regulated, but they weren’t sure how yet.

This could possibly mean the end of the summer getaway trips where teams head to local colleges for camps.

“There’s really no official policy in terms of our summer practices,” Weinberg said.

“We follow the same schedule in the summer, but some people do whatever they want.”

Riverside Arts Weekend (RAW) celebrates both visual and performing arts with a multi-media juried fine arts fair and full musical performance schedule centered in Riverside’s Guthrie Park.

Glamour takes center stage on Sunday, May 19 at 2:00 p.m. as RAW presents Revelry, a runway show featuring emerging designers from Dominican University.

Revelry highlights fashion as a form of art with the cutting edge work of nine (9) alumnae of Dominican University’s Apparel Design program. The designers will present collections true to their respective artistic visions and highly unique from one another.

Revelry opens with the work of established designer Caroline Borucki (caro___) who has retail presence in New Buffalo, Michigan. It then segues to the work of emerging designers Alexandra Howard (Elmwood Park), Izzy Heras (Romeoville), Amanda Lindley (Tinley Park), Samantha Petkofski (Niles), Iris Carney (Berwyn), Molly Morettes (Park Ridge), Hannah Gerhardt (Omaha, NE) and Erin Von Kannon (Monmouth).

Many of the designers will also exhibit portfolios and samples of their work at a Dominican University collective booth throughout Riverside Arts Weekend.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948.

Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948.

Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain.

In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.”

There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.

65 Years and The Tradition Continues!
