RIVERSIDE – Freshmen students at Riverside Brookfield High School got quite the warm welcome on their first day of class Aug. 14.

Freshmen got the “grand welcome” from upperclassmen as they entered the building before classes began at 10 a.m. Groups of students from the Student Association, National Honor Society, poms and cheer teams created a passageway for students and greeted them with cheers, shout-outs and, yes, even the occasional fist bump.

Freshmen students began their first day of classes with an orientation from school staff in the auditorium and a guided tour of the building.

Lyons to hold events for Hoffman Tower restoration SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LYONS – The village of Lyons will hold a series of events this fall to honor its 125th anniversary and to raise funds for the restoration of the Hoffman Tower.

Planned events include a community picnic Oct. 13 and a formal dinner dance at Village Hall on Nov. 15.

Mayor Christopher Getty unveiled the plans to more than 40 residents outside Hoffman Tower Aug. 18.

“This is a wonderful moment to look back and celebrate 125 years of rich history, but it is also a wonderful moment to be able to stand on the brink of new history

and come together to shape our future,” Getty said. “For decades, the Hoffman tower has been a historic landmark in Lyons and a symbol of our endurance, our strength and our heritage.”

The Oct. 13 picnic at Veterans Park will feature historical displays, entertainment for all ages and food, including an authentic Door County fish boil hosted by the Lyons Retirees.

The Nov. 15 formal dance will be in the community rooms at Village Hall. All proceeds from the dance will be dedicated to community programs, senior projects, youth events and the restoration of Hoffman Tower.

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL LA GRANGE – The village’s first Vietnamese restaurant will open in December and feature a nationally-renowned chef.

Quoc Long, former chef de cuisine at Le Colonial in Chicago, will cook up traditional Vietnamese dishes, including noodle soups, duck, fish and sandwiches at O Mai La Grange, which is scheduled to open before the holidays in El Picante’s current spot.

El Picante owner Tony Soto said there was too much

competition among Mexican restaurants in downtown La Grange (namely Santiago’s and Casa Margarita).

Soto and his wife, Thipi Thai owner Tarnthip Kunuparkarn, are developing the new restaurant, which will open for lunch and dinner and feature a seasonal menu that changes about twice a year.

Because of Vietnam’s French influence, O Mai will feature rolls, sandwiches and other breads in addition to noodle and soup-based dishes.

“Asian food is usually similar, but Vietnamese is not too spicy,” Kunuparkarn said.

Police investigating arson after bottle thrown through window SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BROOKFIELD – Brookfield police reported that the department is investigating a fire in the 9500 block of Lincoln Avenue that occurred around 1 a.m. Aug. 20 as an arson.

Police said a resident was awoken after hearing a loud banging sound and discovered their front window was shattered and on fire. The resident put out the fire with a garden hose before police and

fire personnel arrived on the scene. No injuries were reported.

Police believe someone threw a glass bottle filled with an unknown flammable substance at the double pane glass window. Only the exterior glass pane was broken and the fire did not spread into the residence.

Police said they have suspects and are working “strong leads” in the case.

They do not believe the act was random.

RIVERSIDE – A 26-year-old Riverside woman was struck in the head by a man who appeared out of the woods along Ogden Avenue at Miller Road late Thursday, according to police.

William Blankenship, 24, of the 7300 block of Oakwood Avenue, and Genevieve Wooten, 25, of the 1600 block of Oak Park Avenue, Berwyn, were charged Thursday with several crimes after allegedly stealing items from an apart-

ment building on Oakwood Avenue and selling them at a pawn shop in Chicago.

Robert A. Williams Jr. is a leading expert on Native American law and the rights of indigenous peoples. A member of the Lumbee Indian Tribe, he teaches law at the University of Arizona and proposes a wide-ranging reexamination of the Western world’s history, told from the perspective of civilization’s war on tribalism as a way of life.

Diane Ravitch wants to know what makes schools work. A historian of American education at NYU who served in the administration of the first President Bush, she defies easy ideological labeling with a clear head and open mind that insists on seeing what the data really tells us about testing, choice, voucher schools and other fashionable reforms.

The Trouble with Boys Peg Tyre

The Rise of the Creative Class Richard Florida

Young males begin to struggle the moment they enter a classroom, and account for only 43 percent of Americans enrolled in college. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Peg Tyre presents years of research from schools around the country on why boys are the new academic underdogs.

What do colleges and universities bring to a society? Among other things, they form the basis of great cities where smart people want to live. Richard Florida established the significance of this emerging “creative class” in a bestselling book that has confirmed his reputation as a preeminent urban theorist.

OPINIONS n LAST WEEK’S WEB POLL QUESTION: Should all high school students have a tablet computer?

38 PERCENT: No, enough is enough with the technology already 34 PERCENT: Yes, it would cut down on paper, heavy books and keep them current 16 PERCENT: Not yet, but it’s bound to happen soon 12 PERCENT: Why stop with high school kids?

It’s back to school time at the local library Students heading back to school also means they will be heading back to the library in Brookfield, McCook, North Riverside, Riverside and more across the country.

Coinciding with back-to-school time, September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month. During this month, Brookfield, McCook, North Riverside and Riverside public libraries join COMMUNITY the American Library AssoVOICE ciation and public libraries Robert J. nationwide to make sure students have the most important Lifka school supply of all – a free library card.

Others help out, too. The honorary chair of National Library Card Sign-Up Month for 2013 is Luol Deng, all-star forward for the Chicago Bulls.

The Brookfield, North Riverside and Riverside libraries have planned special activities and promotions to celebrate the occasion.

You don’t have to come to the library to use your card. Depending on the library, students can use their library cards from home, too. Libraries offer access to educational resources such as eBooks, online homework help and online databases. Not all library cardholders can access all online databases. Access to some online databases is restricted to patrons of libraries that have subscribed. It is best to check with your local library for a list of online databases to which subscriptions have been obtained.

For example, students in Brookfield have access to Tutor.com, which provides live homework assistance; World Book Online, a trusted source for research projects; CultureGrams Online, which allows exploration of fun facts about countries and cultures worldwide; and many more online databases. In North Riverside, available databases include NoveList K-8 Plus, providing children and teen reading recommendations; Kids Search, where students can search various topics in books, encyclopedias, biographies and newspapers; and Grolier Lands and People, which provides information on countries and the various people, groups and cultures.

Coming up later in September is Banned Books Week, an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Held from Sept. 22 to 28, it brings together the book community in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.

Many public libraries celebrate Banned Books Week with special programs and activities. In North Riverside, a raffle will be held. Patrons will receive an entry to the raffle for every “banned book” they check out that week.

The Brookfield Public Library sold this home on Arden Avenue in Brookfield for a $100,000 loss recent-

A thumbs up to the Illinois Currency Exchange Charitable Foundation and Operation Homefront for an event Aug. 10 in North Riverside. At the event, free school supplies were give to children whose parents serve or served in the military. We think we can all get behind that.

A thumbs up to the Brookfield Public Library on the recent sale of a library-owned home on Arden Avenue in Brookfield. Yes, the library lost about $100,000 on the sale, but some things just don’t go the way you want them to. Library officials bought the home as part of a plan to build a new library in Brookfield’s Hollywood section at the top of the market. Many people were caught off guard by the housing market’s collapse, and we support the library’s acknowledgment of the mistake and its recent actions to make the most of it.

Ruined lawns I live on Springwood Lane in Bolingbrook. Comcast invaded the neighborhood this morning with three or four trucks and equipment to run a new line. None of the neighbors were aware of this, and all they’re doing is tearing up their grass. They’re telling them that they’re going to repair them.

What they’re gonna probably do is throw a little seed down there

Great day for kids I attended my first Kops N Kidz day on Aug. 10 [in Lemont]. I would like to compliment the Park District, police officers, donors and volunteers. I thought that it was a great outing. I was surprised to see that everything was free for the kids. It is wonderful that all families, regardless of their financial situation, were able to take their kids to have a good time.

I am already looking forward to next year.

Here we go again. The General Assembly and governor passed a bill to enable DuPage to enact their own stormwater fees based on property owners’ rainwater displacement. The law permitted Peoria property owners to vote on whether or not to be taxed for this on top of their ongoing property taxes. The law did not give DuPage citizens the same right to vote.

Now our county has to decide if it will or will not decrease our property taxes when it starts charging

LA GRANGE – Lyons Township High School District 204 is refusing to pay a $2 million bill for services from the Lyons Township School Treasurer’s Office because of an agreement the district said it made with the treasurer’s office in 1999.

Superintendent Tim Kilrea said although there was no official intergovernmental agreement made between the district and treasurer’s office, both sides determined that the district would pay its own staff to perform bookkeeping duties and in turn not pay the township school treasurer, who manages public funds for 13 districts in the western suburbs, including District 204.

Kilrea said the district has provided the office with 13 years of a paper trail affirming the agreement. The treasurer’s office would send invoices to the district, which then sent back invoices from its in-house treasurer showing that the services had in effect been outsourced from the township school treasurer to district staff. The documents were approved in open meetings, Kilrea said.

District 204 has handled parts of its own bookkeeping the 1970s, and the 1999 agreement was put in place so the district wouldn’t have to pay double for services it already was conducting in-house, Kilrea said.

“We paid our folks inhouse to do this,” he said.

“So, therefore, to insinuate that we have been receiving something for nothing is totally incorrect.”

The district has been trying to separate itself from the office, but a bill filed by state Rep. Jim Durkin to remove the district from the township school treasurer’s jurisdiction was shut down by the Illinois Senate in April.

“The township treasurer is a layer of government that exists only in Cook County (outside of Chicago),” Kilrea said in a separate email statement. “Multiple high school and elementary school dis-

tricts in Cook County have separated from their respective township treasurer office. It is an unnecessary unit of local government and serves no useful purpose as it relates to LT. What LT is seeking is not unique and we have received support from multiple member school districts currently being served by the Lyons Township School Treasurer’s Office.”

Thetreasurer’soffice,however, said District 204 owes the $2 million because it has no record of the 1999 agreement, and the district has not produced a record indicating the agreement was voted on by its board, said Mike Thiessen, a member of the board of trustees that works alongside the township’s treasurer.

Thiessen was hired after the August 2012 resignation of former Lyons Township School Treasurer Robert Healy, who was charged Aug. 15 with stealing more than $1.5 million over a 20-year period from the 13 area districts whose money he managed. LT is the biggest district in the group.

In addition to allegedly stealing money, Healy withheld information about investments and cash reserves from the districts and operated without legitimate oversight, Thiessen said. Until LT can show the agreement was approved by its board, the treasurer’s office will continue to demand the money.

“The only record we can see is that there was a conversation in the finance committee meeting at LT,” Thiessen said. “ … It doesn’t appear that it was ever voted on by the full board.”

Thiessen said the treasurer’s office is in the process of determining where the $2 million will go if it receives payment of the bill. Some of it could go to other districts that might have paid more for services because District 204 was not making payments, Thiessen said.

Although the district handles much of its own bookkeeping, the township school treasurer still manages

PAY OFF YOUR MORTGAGE? There’s something celebratory about burning a paid-up mortgage and owning one’s home free and clear, but paying off the mortgage may not be the best use of your money. It’s all about dollars and cents.

Do you carry a big balance on your credit cards? Consider that you’re being charged 13 percent—or more— on that debt, far more, we’ll bet, than your mortgage interest. And mortgage debt is deductible!

Better to pay off the credit balance first.

Have you maxed out your retirement funds? This year someone over 50 can sock away $23,000 in a 401(k) and $6,500 in an IRA. And don’t consider using that money for the mortgage! It’ll cost.

Do you have an emergency fund to cover six months of living expenses? Keep funds liquid, in case of need. Many investments are paying better than the interest rate on your mortgage.

LA GRANGE – The Lyons Township High School District 204 Board of Education approved a resolution Aug. 19 to issue $21 million in bonds for renovation projects at both high school campuses.

Highlights include a $3.7 million project to replace and relocate a school bus-sized air conditioning unit at the Reber Center; $5.3 million to redo the North Campus cafeteria by relocating the kitchen and increasing seating and lighting; $1.275 million to renovate six science labs at South Campus; and a to-be-determined amount for a reconfiguration of the entrance at South Campus intended to increase security by making visitors enter through a holding area.

The $21 million mark is a not-to-exceed figure, but the district likely will try to limit spending to $19.6 million.

“That is the target number that will allow us to maintain our Triple-A rating, which is very important to this board of education,” board President Mark Pera said.

The bonds will be applied over a 10-year period and allow school districts to issue long-term debts without going through a referendum.

Costs for specific projects are projected and won’t be known until DLA Architects casts bids in December and January. The time will allow the district to draw the most favorable bids.

Because the district is rolling over bonds that already exist, the renovations will not result in a tax increase to residents, Pera said. He asked the public to consider the task of maintaining both of the school’s campuses when evaluating the project.

“The infrastructure demands of an aging building at South [Campus] and a very old building at North [Campus] are enormous,” Pera said. “And it costs millions of dollars to keep these facilities in the condition that the public would expect them to be in for the educational ben-

“The infrastructure demands of an aging building at South [Campus] and a very old building at North [Campus] are enormous.

mate, Sabu, 3. Both leopards arrived at the zoo in October 2011 from Tautphaus Park Zoo in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Cape May County Park Zoo in New Jersey, respectively. The two were brought to the zoo as part of a breeding program designed to maintain a healthy and genetically diverse population of snow leopards in zoos.

Snow leopards are an endangered species. According to zoo officials, only 3,500 to 7,000 exist in the wild.

Brookfield Zoo has exhibited snow leopards since 1936.

mated. That would inevitably nix other projects, chiefly the $1.6 million installation of artificial turf on the middle field at West Field. The board already is hesitant to go ahead with the project because a sizable chunk of its cost would go toward replacing an underground water pipe that belongs to the village of La Grange.

Restaurant reviews

Superlative experience awaits at prasino LA GRANGE – The western suburbs are full of amazing, unique restaurants, and La Grange has become known as a dining destination. Still, there aren’t many places like prasino, located just across the street from its sister restaurant, the beer and gastropub haven called Wild Monk.

Restaurants such as prasino abound in big cities, where culinary trends gravitate toward sustainable, seasonal and local with chef-centric menus appealing to a foodie crowd. A dish is displayed simply and beautifully, all of it begging to be Instagrammed (of which I’m guilty).

The word “prasino” means green in Greek, and the restaurant takes the sentiment to heart, focusing on ingredients that are organic and hormoneand antibiotic-free. On the menu is a key that identifies the letters next to food and drink items to let diners know what’s vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.

My dining companion and I began our meal with a pan of absolutely outstanding, fresh and delicately flavored mussels. I love mussels – I know not all do – but if you want to give them a spin, prasino is a good place to try. The mussels are steamed in the pan, bathed in a white wine, garlic, butter and herb broth, where the garlic does not overpower, and the flavor is light and rewarding.

The grilled bread is smokey and great for soaking up the flavor.

For our second course, we decided to try one of several flatbread offerings on the menu. We went for the farm flatbread, made with a blend of cheeses, sprinkled with chives and drizzled with truffle honey. If you like honey in your Greek yogurt, you’ll like this.

The creamy and sweet combination works well together atop cracker-thin flatbread that’s perfectly crispy on the edges, with just a little chew in the center.

Before moving on to the final course, I’ll take a moment to discuss the cocktail menu

The farm flatbread – cracker thin and absolutely delightful – is prepared with cheeses complemented by chives and truffle honey.

AUTO BITS

Road trip tips Millions of Americans are expected to take a vacation this year. If you’re one of those hitting the road, here are a few reminders to help ensure you’re road-tripready.

1. Check under the hood. Even if you properly care for your vehicle year-round by keeping up with regularly scheduled maintenance, it is wise to check your vehicle’s oil, coolant and wiper fluid levels before heading out on the road.

2. Inspect your vehicle. To help avoid any unfortunate surprises, do a thorough check of your vehicle, paying special attention to the only part that actually touches the road — your tires. Be sure to properly check all four tires with a tire pressure gauge.

3. Check the weather. Storms are common during the summer months, and the first few minutes of a shower can be a dangerous time for drivers.

4. Prep friends, family and your home.

Remember to tell neighbors, friends and family that you’ll be out of town. Ask your neighbors to keep an eye on the house and have someone pick up your mail and newspaper.

Did You Know Consumer Reports recently gave rave reviews to the new Chevrolet Impala, saying it’s the best new sedan it has ever tested.

Review RAM 3500 LARAMIE LonghoRn CREw CAB 4X4

Big truck makes sow’s purse out of silk ear

N

ationwide, pickuptruck sales have rebounded from the pit of 1.1 million units in 2009 to 1.66 million last year; and pickups are now the No. 4 market segment, making up 11.2 percent of all vehicle sales. This isn’t likely to drop, either (at least until gas hits $5 a gallon again), as the average pickup on the road is 12 years old now and apparently there’s pent-up demand.

Furthermore, crew-cab pickups — the ones with cabins extended for four seats and four doors-were zero percent of the market in 2001, but accounted for more than 60 percent in 2012, and some 30 percent of pickups now sell for more than $40,000.

To Detroit, these trends mean that pickups have The Ram 3500 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab 4X4 brings new dimensions to chromebecome “multipurpose plating.

will appreciate the poweradjustable pedals and seat, and the chromed side steps to climb that high.

The tri-fold cover gives the cargo bed a finished look.

The touch-screen controls are nearly as complex as a high-end German sedan’s.

All this, however, raises the sticker price to apoplectic levels, yet leaves us with something that’s neither fish nor fowl. The electronics and extra features make this one too fussy to be a down-anddirty jobsite rig, while no amount of bling can disguise its basic truckishness or make it into something it’s not. Transmission upshifts are coarse. It steers like a canal boat. The ride goes to heck the moment the pavement does — aim the Ram 3500 down a rutted road and the back end begins to dance around uncontrollably, just like pickup trucks did 40 years ago. Don’t expect modern high-speed highway manners, either.

Dodge took a perfectly good $30,000 pair of coveralls and tailored them into an ill-fitting $60,000 tuxedo. And buying even a plain Ram 3500 Crew Cab 4X4 as an everyday vehicle would be like using the USS Iowa as a picnic boat.

RIVERSIDE BROOKFIELD BULLDOGS SENIOR SAYS | JACK VANDEMERKT

RB motivated after 2-7 season

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – Jack VandeMerkt is back at quarterback for Riverside Brookfield.

The three-sport athlete is also expected to be a key figure for the Bulldogs’ boys basketball team and won the Metro Suburban Conference high jump title in the spring.

VandeMerkt is hoping to lead RB back to the playoffs for the first time since 2009.

Santaromita: As a returning quarterback do you feel like you’re seeing the game better?

VandeMerkt: The game slows down a little bit this time. I think we got a lot more speed on our side of the ball. I can read the defenses better after a whole year. I’m faster, stronger, better, more accurate.

About Jack VandeMerkt Position: Quarterback Height: 6-foot-6 Weight: 200 pounds

Santaromita: How has being a three-sport athlete helped or hurt you?

VandeMerkt: It’s beneficial because it’s better to be competing all year round I think than to train for six months by yourself. I’d rather be working hard against someone next to me than I would be by myself in a weight room.

Santaromita: Do you think about last year’s 2-7 record often?

VandeMerkt: That was our

motivation in the weight room all year. It’s the motivation out here now. It’s got to be better. It’s obvious. When you’re doing a drill and you’re thinking “Should I just halfass it right now or should I go all out?” you remember 2-7 and you push.

Santaromita: Is there any change in year two under coach Brendan Curtin?

VandeMerkt: Another whole offseason just being around him all day. Last year we started in June. I felt like everyone was all in all offseason this year. In prior years everyone would show up for the first two weeks and then it would just gradually fall off after that in terms of attendance for those morning sessions. Now everyone was there every day on time 15 minutes early.

Santaromita: What is a

VandeMerkt: I think we’re

fast. This is definitely the fastest team since my freshman year, all around, offense, defense, even our linemen. I think that will be one of our strengths this year. We’re still Riverside Brookfield, we’re

Santaromita: What are your goals for the year?

VandeMerkt: We’ve just got to go 1-0 every week. The bigger long-term goal is we want to win conference and make the playoffs.

St. Francis beat RB, 57-12, in Week 1 last year and has topped the Bulldogs in three straight season openers. Senior running back James Butler and sophomore quarterback Justin Berry already have Division I offers and lead the Spartans’ offense.

talks a lot about eliminating the kind of rollercoaster play that we’ve had. We need to come out fast and keep that intensity throughout the whole year because we have the skill and the players on this team that we should be winning every game we play. We just need to execute.

Santaromita: How do you replace a dynamic player like Matthew Harris?

Mrazek: I think we’ve got plenty of players coming back this year, myself and Sam (Shea) at receiver as well as Marcell Kellum. We’ve got a few guys coming back. We’ve got a lot of experience last year. I think in terms of playmaking ability we’ll be just fine this year.

Santaromita: What do you expect from this team?

Mrazek: We’re going to come out hot. Don’t expect any rollercoaster play from us this year.

Santaromita: Is it a point of pride to play in the deep West Suburban Silver?

talk about it, but I think it’s something that we’ve got to match. Not only that, we’ve got to push through that. I feel like in the past teams have gotten to the quarterfinals and you think last year’s team did it and people kind of get comfortable. We need to push through that and fight for a state championship.

LA GRANGE PARK – Jake Bartels is entering his third year as the varsity quarterback for Nazareth. Bartels also stars as a hitter and pitcher for the successful Roadrunner baseball team. During the summer, he split his time between the two sports, but fall is all about football.

Santaromita: What is your early impression of your team?

Bartels: The offensive line has been looking really solid throughout the whole camp so I’m pretty excited with what we have. We have a lot of young skill players so I think we’ll definitely be able to make a good run here and compete well in the ESCC.

Santaromita: Do you like playing in a tough conference like the ESCC? Bartels: I think it’s good. It

tory he had at Driscoll [four state titles] and all the winning that he’s done as a coach.

He obviously had success. He’s been a great mentor as far as leadership. He really teaches us and gives us the tools as far as leadership and being able to succeed once football is over.

Santaromita: As a returning quarterback are you hoping to pass the ball more this season?

Bartels: For me personally I just want to

win football games. I don’t care how it gets done. It’s not about personal stats. I couldn’t really care less if we threw the ball five times a game as opposed to 30 times a game as long About Jake as we put up wins.

Bartels

Position: Quarterback Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 210 pounds

prepares us well for the playoffs for if we end up making it. Going up against schools that are obviously bigger than we are except for Joliet Catholic so it’s nice playing teams like that. You want to play the best of the best. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I enjoy playing the real solid competition week in, week out.

Santaromita: What was the feeling after going 5-4 and missing the playoffs?

Bartels: It was just a bitter feeling last year knowing that we just missed it. We’ve been working hard this whole offseason, whole camp, summer leading in and practice right now just trying to get an opportunity to redeem what happened last year and ultimately make it to the playoffs this year.

Santaromita: What’s it like playing under coach Tim Racki?

Santaromita: What are your goals for the season?

Bartels: Our No. 1 goal this

year is to make it back to the playoffs. I know we kind of had that taste two years ago making it to the Elite Eight and everything so we all kind of got to be around it. I think last year just missing it by a few (playoff) points we’re all really hungry to get back there and hopefully make another run.

Santaromita: Have you noticed progress in Nazareth’s football program?

Bartels: All of us growing up pretty close we can remember when Naz wasn’t really a known football program. I think that Coach Racki and the rest of his coaching staff have really done a phenomenal job of putting Nazareth on the map. We’re just trying to improve everything about the football program. Each year that I’ve been here everything has just gotten a little bit better for the football program. It’s been a privilege to be a part of it and say I was a part of building up the football tradition here.

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.
