LYONS – Negotiators for the village of Lyons and the Lyons Police Union have reached a contract agreement that will potentially save taxpayers as much as $800,000 and put more police on street duty, Mayor Christopher Getty announced in a news release Sunday. Under the new contract, the department will remain “fully staffed” and no police officer will receive a pay cut. The contract now goes before the Village Board at its Jan. 15 regular meeting for approval. The new contract calls for no salary increase during the first and second year, and a two percent increase for the following two years. Longevity or “bonus” pay hikes will be frozen for two years, Getty said. That agreement alone will save taxpayers nearly $100,000 each year. Getty said the contract reflects “work rule concessions” in which detectives and supervisors will be given street duty. He also said that perceptions of impending lay-offs resulting in a reduction in police protection were unfounded, and added
the village was able to save the taxpayers money while putting more police on the streets. Police Chief Harley Schinker said the agreement ensures the department will be able to continue to provide superior police and safety services to residents. Lyons currently has 25 police officers, not including dispatchers, crossing guards or part-time employees. Some attrition is expected through retirement. Getty said the union and the village agree that 21 police officers can effectively protect the municipality. The difference will be made up through anticipated early retirements as defined under the contract. Financial Director Dan Denys said the new contract brings expenditures in the police department in line with what communities the size of Lyons are paying. Dispatchers now employed with the village will remain with the village. New hires, Deny’s said, will be employed in a new public-private partnership with the professional dispatching service, Kurtz Inc.

BROOKFIELD – The Chicago Zoological Society announced Friday the first baby born at the Brookfield Zoo in 2014 – a grey seal. In addition to being the first birth of the new year, the seal pup also is the first of its species born at the zoo. The male pup was born at 7 a.m. New Year’s Day to mother, Lily, 10. Both mother and pup will remain off exhibit for several weeks to allow them time to bond. Grey seal pups are born with long, white fur called lanugo (pronounced la-noogo, according to zoo officials), which is replaced two to four weeks later with shorter, stiffer hair, similar to that of adult grey seals. At birth, the new pup weighed more than 25 pounds. Zoo staff said he will triple or quadruple his weight in as little time as next month. A mother grey seal’s milk is very rich and the pup is expected to gain several pounds a day. After another two or three weeks, the pup will be introduced to a fish diet. The Brookfield Zoo is home to six grey seals – the most of any accredited zoo or aquarium in North America, zoo officials said. Grey seals are most often found in coastal waters and are divided into three populations: The Western North Atlantic, the Eastern Atlantic and the Baltic Sea.

RIVERSIDE – Grumpy’s Coffee & Ice Cream Cafe closed Dec. 24 after 20 years as a community gathering spot where packs of regulars greeted the day and each other. Friends Kimberly Palka and Davoid Moreau opened the cafe in August 1993. Even after Grumpy’s closed its doors to the public, regulars continued to stop in for their morning coffee until the cafe’s spot at 35 E. Burlington St. was turned over to its next-door neighbor, The Chew Chew restaurant, which bought the location. “We solve the world’s problems here every day,� Palka said. “It’s ‘Cheers’ without the hangover. Everybody knows everybody’s business. It’s become family. We go to everyone’s funerals, birthdays.� Palka said people from all over the area would visit Grumpy’s daily for their morning coffee or breakfast. “Someone told me it’s like going to a party and ending up in the kitchen,� she said. “There’s no places like that any more. It’s a shame. It’s a dying art in a way.� Palka said she and Moreau are hoping to open another cafe, which would be called Grumpy’s Too, at a different location in Riverside or Berwyn. In the meantime, they plan to meet with the cafe’s regulars at another coffee shop, she said.

Morton West, Ford donate food By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com NORTH RIVERSIDE – Joe Rizza Ford and students at Morton West High School teamed to collect two truckloads of canned goods last month for those in need of food. As part of the Fill an F-150 food drive, customers at the car dealership received discounts on repairs and other services in December when they donated a can of nonperishable food. By the end of the month, the drive brought
in a full truckload of canned goods. Another truck was parked outside Morton West throughout the month until it was filled, and both trucks of food were delivered to Cicero-based CBS Anti-Hunger Foundation, which benefits residents in Cicero, Berwyn, North Riverside, Brookfield and Stickney. “There’s a lot of people around here in the area that don’t have a lot,” said Jim Malvestuto, the dealership’s service director, who organized the drive. “[The idea]
came up around Thanksgiving … [But] people need food after Thanksgiving, too. “At least we know two holidays in a row people have food.” Malvestuto said the dealership received calls from customers asking when the drive ended. Some even returned just to donate. “It was nice to do because it’s the holidays,” he said. “There’s a lot of people who aren’t as fortunate [as others]. They were really, really appreciative. It was nice to see.”

Police offer ice safety tips SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA RIVERSIDE – As temperatures drop and bodies of water begin to freeze over, Riverside police are warning residents to take proper precautions when near frozen water, particularly the Des Plaines River. “Before we experience a tragedy that is unfortunately too common this time of year, it is important that we remind everyone, particularly children, of the dangers of unsafe ice,” David Krull of the Riverside Police Department said in a news release. “As the Des Plaines River freezes over, ice conditions may be very uncertain. People may be a bit impatient to venture out on the ice for skating, hockey, ice fishing and other winter sports. We
highly recommend the use of recreational skating areas. It is very important to exercise precaution and common sense.” Police issued the following safety precautions to follow near the river: • Never go onto the ice alone. • Always keep your pets on a leash. If a pet falls through the ice do, not attempt to rescue your pet, but rather call 911 or go for help. • New ice is usually stronger than old ice. As ice ages, the bond between the crystals decays, making it weaker, even if melting has not occurred. • Beware of ice covered with snow. Snow can insulate ice and keep it strong but can also insulate it to keep it

Riverside police chief Three teens charged with Riverside burglary nabs hit-and-run driver SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA RIVERSIDE – Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel is not a guy to leave his work at work. On Dec. 30, he brought some home at least part of the way. While driving his unmarked police car home about 4:15 p.m, Weitzel saw a semitrailer turn right on Archer Road from Route 171 where it struck an overhead street light, then struck a traffic control device while at the corner, Weitzel said. Several vehicles were forced to swerve out of the way to avoid falling debris in the roadway, Weitzel said. The driver, a 43-year-old Chicago man, allegedly ignored all attempts by Weitzel to stop him at Archer Road and Bulldog Drive in Summit. “I thought maybe he didn’t see me at first. I’m driving a Ford Taurus that’s
unmarked. But the other cars were getting out of the way,” Weitzel said. “I initially stopped to see if anyone was hurt. He slowed down, but then he kept on going.” Weitzel continued to follow the semitrailer south on Archer Road toward 63rd Street and then east on 63rd Street with emergency lights and sirens operating. Weitzel detained the driver after he finally pulled over in the 7600 block of 63rd Street until Summit police arrived. “I finally came up to his side and motioned him to pull over,” he said. “He was cooperative when he got out, but he offered no explanation.” There were no injuries reported. “These things usually don’t happen,” Weitzel said. “It’s usually a pretty uneventful ride home.”
RIVERSIDE – Three 17-year-old boys were charged with felony residential burglary for allegedly stealing computers, cameras, jewelry, alcohol and a number of other items from a residence on Christmas Eve in the 300 block of Herrick Road. A police investigation determined the teens, two from Riverside and one from Brookfield, entered the home between 4 and 5:30 p.m. Dec. 24 while the family living there was at church. Police learned later, one of the teens attended the same church
service as the family, stepping out of the service for a few minutes to notify the other alleged offenders the family was not home. He knew a side door to the residence would be unlocked and informed the other teens to use the door so they wouldn’t have to force entry into the home. The two teens then stole property from the home, loading it into a vehicle they had parked in the driveway. Several hours after the burglary, investigators examined the scene for fingerprints and interviewed neighbors but found no witnesses. On Dec. 27, Riverside police
were notified someone had tried to log on to a Kindle e-reader stolen from the home. Police used an IP address to trace the location of the device to a residence in the 0 to 100 block of Groveland Avenue, where they arrested the first teen. Police then arrested another teen in the 300 block of Herrick Road, the same block as the victims’ residence. They arrested the third teen in the 3800 block of Cleveland Avenue in Brookfield. Police recovered all stolen items excluding an undisclosed amount of cash, most of which had been spent by the alleged offenders.

POLL QUESTION: What do you think about the new medical marijuana law in Illinois? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.
Why do you need a license for that in Ill.? SPRINGFIELD – During the decades I’ve covered government, I’ve seen a steady stream of people heading to Springfield wanting to have their profession licensed. And beginning Jan. 1, the state began licensing yet another – condominium managers. That vocation joins a litany of jobs such as hair braiders, interior decorators, barbers, auctioneers and others that are regulated by the state of Illinois. There are some who would VIEWS have you believe that governScott ment bureaucrats are like Reeder perched vultures waiting for some unsuspecting entrepreneur to come along before they swoop in. The reality is something a bit more interesting. Regulation often is the product of a chummy relationship between elected officials and those in business who want to cut down on their competition to maximize profits. So every year, a parade of folks in various vocations come to the state Capitol asking for their fields to be licensed and regulated. And it usually works like this: • Have the state require extensive training for those wanting to enter the field. • Exempt everyone already in the field from the new regulations by “grandfathering” them in. By doing this, folks in the profession can create an artificial shortage of “licensed” individuals. This reduces the supply of people who can do the job and enables those still in the field to be paid more. And the rest of us pay more for their services. Yes, there are some life-or-death professions such as physicians or dentists for which it makes sense to require a license. But frankly, I could care less if my barber has been OK’d by the state. If I’m not pleased with a haircut, I’ll go to someone else the next time. That’s how the free market regulates things. Or how about interior designers? What would constitute a gross license violation? Improper use of the word “mauve”? Shag carpeting in the basement rec room? Beaded doorway curtains? Macramé potholders? An interior decorator license benefits the public about as much as a two-dollar word like “feng shui.” Barriers such as these hurt lower-income people by creating obstacles for them to enter certain fields. It hurts the rest of us by reducing competition and increasing costs of the services those vocations offer. That’s why the best regulator of professions is the consumer – not state bureaucrats. After all, that’s how the free market is supposed to work.

Walsh recently got the opportunity of a lifetime – she’s starring in the new horror film “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones.” Walsh followed her dream, which led her from Indian Head Park to Hollywood, and shows that hard work and determination often pay off. Congratulations on your success, Gabrielle. A thumbs up to local comedian Jeff Lukas of Riverside. Lukas has plans in January to start a program of low-cost improv classes for area children. According to Lukas, kids learn to come out of their shell, build confidence and learn how to laugh at themselves through comedy. The first class starts today. We’re excited about the opportunity these classes will offer kids in the area and we support his mission. Break a leg!

• SAFETY Continued from page 6 from freezing. Snow can also hide cracks and weak and open ice. • Slush is a danger sign indicating that ice is no longer freezing from the bottom and can be weak or deteriorating. • Ice formed over flowing water (rivers or lakes containing a large number of springs) is generally 15 percent weaker. • Ice seldom freezes or thaws at a uniform rate. It can be one foot thick in one spot and be only a few inches thick 10 feet away. • Reach, throw, go. If a compan-
ion falls through the ice and you are unable to reach that person from shore, throw them something (rope, jumper cables, tree branch, etc.). If this does not work, go for help or call 911. Get medical assistance for the victim immediately. • If you fall in, try not to panic. Turn toward the direction from which you came. Place your hands and arms on the unbroken surface, working forward by kicking your feet. Once out, remain lying on the ice (do not stand) and roll away from the hole. Crawl back to your tracks, keeping your weight distributed until you return to solid ice.

Keep the open space What’s with the Glen Ellyn Park District’s plans for Ackerman Park? The Park District board has a potential $7 million outlay for the proposed improvement for the beautiful open space at Ackerman. I sure hope the park board realizes that sometimes less is more and doesn’t get carried away with making a monument to themselves – like the ground clock on Main Street in Glen Ellyn that took up several valuable parking spaces and is in constant need of repairs. Glen Ellyn Park Board members: Have mercy on the taxpayers who are still overburdened by the economy’s downturn by being fiscally responsible. Keep in mind many of us enjoy the natural beauty of our parks. There’s already enough manmade structures in the park already polluting the landscape. Do we really need an indoor pool to occupy park space?

The Lisle Main Street pedestrian tunnel underneath the Metra tracks has been in disrepair for many years. On Nov. 1, it was closed for repair. Not only is this a major inconvenience, it is a major safety issue. Who makes these decisions? Certainly not a commuter. Perhaps it was the same people who permanently closed off eastbound traffic on School Street at Main Street, which forces patrons searching for parking to exit the downtown area at Ogden Avenue and just keep going. Two months later, the tunnel is still closed and no one is there. What is the priority?

State of Illinois pension system. The information that was supplied was very spot on, succinct, honest and clear. I wish more people would submit info like this – the truth about the retirees’ huge pensions. We don’t all have such huge pensions. You’d be very surprised how small some pensions are after 20 years of service. Again, thanks for going through the trouble for the rest of us.
Public Works Department is doing a good job
Early Thursday morning, I noticed my mailbox post had been broken off at the base by a snow plow. I called the Lombard Public Works Department and left a message not knowing what, if anything, they would do. Even with all of the work going on I heard back from them within two hours. A very pleasant woman let me know that not only would the city replace my mailbox (probably in the spring) but that a temporary box would be put up within a day or two. Much to Thanks for letter my surprise, before the mailman This is a response to a letter arrived, a replacement box had that appeared in the Dec. 25 been installed and I never missed Suburban Life: I want to thank the a letter. Way to go Lombard writer who wrote regarding the Public Works Department.

Restaurant reviews
Glen Oak Restaurant unveils its new menu GLEN ELLYN – We made a happy discovery when we stepped inside Glen Oak Restaurant on a recent Sunday, finding ourselves hungry but not sure what we were in the mood for foodwise. Art posters dot the walls of the downtown Glen Ellyn eatery, whose high-ceilinged, airy space has lots of elbow room, with tables and comfortable booths. Dining there for the first time, we noticed the unusual touch of casters on the chairs for ease of motion. With expansive windows all around for views, we enjoyed watching the trains a block away. A friendly server brought over warm rolls, quickly followed by the French onion soup we’d ordered. It was an ideal antidote to a bitterly wintry day. A telltale clue that it was freshly homemade were the chunky onions and an errant bayleaf. My dining companion was pleased the soup wasn’t too salty, adding, “There’s a zesty bite to it.” For his main course, he opted for the Reuben sandwich. The tender corned beef was piled high on rye, with just the right proportion of sauerkraut and melted Swiss, and a crunchy dill pickle. The sandwich normally is served with Thousand Island dressing, but he changed it up with bleu cheese. The Reuben passed the test with flying colors. I focused on the breakfast menu, which is served all day. An avowed omelet fan, I wasn’t disappointed with a delicious blend of creamy cheese, grilled onions, spinach and ham. For a side, I chose hash browns, which arrived light, slightly crispy and ready to be seasoned to personal liking. My companion felt compelled to complete the homey diner experience with a slice of warm cherry pie a la mode for a sweet finish to an enjoyable meal. The restaurant begins the New Year with a change in

Its Facebook page states the shift reflects patrons’ preference to dine out for breakfast and lunch rather than dinner. The full bar service will continue. And late afternoon and evenings, the restaurant will be available for private events. We’re looking forward to trying other dishes next time around, knowing we won’t leave hungry. The ample leftovers we took home tasted great for lunch the next day. The new menu offers a wide array of breakfast
specialties including sweet or savory crepes, multiple Benedict variations and gluten-free pancakes, plus panini, burgers, wraps, salads, sandwiches and other fare. We learned Glen Oak has been around for three decades, and now we know why.

New coach, new culture
Mike Boyd rebuilding Riverside Brookfield’s wrestling program
By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – First-year wrestling coach Mike Boyd is changing the culture at Riverside Brookfield, and wrestlers like Nick Guirini are noticing the difference. Boyd, a state champion in 2001 at St. Rita and three-sport star, coached under Mike Powell at the powerful Oak Park-River Forest program. He is trying to bring over much of the philosophy that has worked so well for the Huskies’ program. “We’re trying to change the culture,” Boyd said. “I used to coach at Oak Park-River Forest so I’m trying to get them on the same culture level and buying into that.” So far Boyd is seeing the progress. Guirini, Andrew Misiorowski, Jon Szydlo and Shannon Hickey have been some of the team’s top wrestlers so far. Of that group, only Misiorowski is a senior. The other three are juniors. The hope is that a year from now the Bulldogs will be further along in Boyd’s vision for the program. “People see the change, but it’s still not at the level that I’m expecting,” the coach said. “We got a young team so hopefully this time next year these kids are killing this.” Boyd thinks Guirini can be a state medalist at 113 pounds. Last year Guirini won a regional title at the same weight and was one match away from qualifying for state. Guirini is hoping the extra work put in during the offseason and this winter will pay off. He has seen the changes under Boyd. “The biggest difference is everybody is buying in,” Guirini said. “There’s so many guys in the room that are always pushing each other and working hard.” Beyond just the change in

Varsity coaches are spending time with the youth clubs to help improve the coaching. “A lot of these kids haven’t wrestled in the kids’ club
so they’re slowly closing that gap,” Boyd said. “During the summer, we’ll get 50-100 matches in. This time next year, they should be ready to compete for medals. Right now, they’re just learning how to be tough.” Boyd remembers what RB
was known for when he was in high school, its high-flying football team under quarterback Tim Brasic. He is hoping to elevate the level of pride students have in the school and its sports teams. “When I was younger, I
knew of the whole Tim Brasic era for football,” Boyd said. “I came in thinking these kids are tough, but then I came in and these kids were kind of soft. “[But now] kids are starting to walk around with their chest up a little bit. It’s nice to see.”

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM
Just how far away from Playoffs are Bears? Hub Arkush
Of the 12 teams that started the 2013 playoffs, the Bears only played four of them. In five games against Green Bay (2), Cincinnati, New Orleans and Philadelphia, the Bears were 2-3. The Bengals game was the first game of the season and the Bengals did as much or more to lose it as the Bears did to win it, kind of like Cincinnati’s third consecutive first round playoff exit last Sunday. Their other win over the Packers was accomplished without Aaron Rodgers as quarterback. Including the Bears game in which Rodgers went out after their first possession, the Packers were 2-5-1 without Rodgers including losses to the Giants, Lions and Steelers. The Bears losses to New Orleans and Philadelphia were their only two
losses of the year in which they were noncompetitive, and their other five losses besides a loss to the Packers were to Detroit (2) and the last place Rams, Vikings and Redskins. The Bears are clearly not in the same league with this year’s playoff teams. For starters, the Bears need to get better at quarterback. Seven of the 12 playoff starters including Nick Foles, Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick (91.6) had better passer ratings than Jay Cutler and all but Kaepernick were at least 12 points better at 101.2 and above while Cutler was 89.2. The other five Alex Smith (89.1), Andy Dalton (88.8), Cam Newton (88.8), Tom Brady (87.3) and Andrew Luck (87.0) were all almost even with Cutler in rating, all of them threw more touchdowns and only Dalton and Newton threw more picks. You tell me, other than Dalton is there a QB in the group you wouldn’t take over Cutler? The Bears are very competitive

with all of these playoff clubs at running back and wide receiver. With the possible exception of the Broncos, the Bears are better than any of those clubs at those positions. The only 2013 playoff teams that aren’t clearly more talented on the offensive line than the Bears are Indianapolis, San Diego and Green Bay. The Bears line was effective most of the time this season, but it’s not capable of taking over games the way the 49ers, Eagles, Seahawks, Panthers, Broncos, Patriots and Chiefs can at times. If you’re a Bears fan you already know that defensively they just don’t match up, particularly in the NFC. Seattle, the number one seed in the NFC also is first in the NFL in scoring defense. The second seeded Panthers are second in the league in fewest points allowed, the fifth seeded 49ers are third and the sixth seeded Saints are fourth. In the AFC, the Bengals and Chiefs tied for fifth in the league in scoring defense, the Colts were ninth in the league, the Patriots 10th and the Char-
gers were actually 11th. Nine of the 12 playoff teams are in the top 11 in scoring defense. In that top 11 only the Cardinals – seventh in points allowed and 10-6 – and the Dolphins – eighth and 8-8 – failed to make the playoffs. The Bears were 30th in scoring defense in 2013, tied with the Redskins and only the Vikings were worse. The Bears dramatic improvement on offense under Marc Trestman this year was exciting and at times a lot of fun to watch. But their decline from fifth in the NFL in total defense in 2012, eighth vs. the run and third in points allowed is the reason they fell from 10-6 to 8-8 and are not currently a legitimate contender. It is quite possible the Bears will improve at quarterback as Cutler spends more time with Trestman, but the only way they’re going back to the playoffs for the first time in four seasons and just the second time in the last eight is by turning over the defensive half of their roster with a lot more talent.
