Brookfield Kiwanis donating $75K to start police K-9 New officer-dog team could be on the streets in November

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Brookfield could have its first-ever police K-9 unit on the streets by mid-November after the village board signaled support on Aug. 27 for accepting a gift of about $75,000 from the Brookfield Kiwanis Club to start the initiative.

Joy Klang, the president of the Kiwanis Club, approached police about possibly donating the money for a K-9 unit after club officials had decided to dissolve the almost century-old club due to dwindling and aging membership.

Riverside foundation gets back to its healthcare roots Change comes after board resigns on heels of 2016 legal settlement

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

A well-endowed but previously under-theradar foundation based in Riverside has a new

name, new leadership and a new focus.

The Healthy Communities Foundation, formerly the Arthur Foundation, is planning to give out about $6 million in grants next year to promote health equity and combat disparate

health outcomes in an area within a five-mile radius of MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn.

“We aim to address the conditions that influence health and access to care so that all the residents of our region enjoy their full po-

tential for good health,” said Maria Pesqueira, who was hired as the new president of the newly christened Healthy Communities See FOUNDATION on page 7

Pritzker slams Rauner at Brookfield campaign stop

IN THIS ISSUE

Dem calls for state public option for healthcare, boosting education spending

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter.

Exactly 10 weeks before Election Day, J.B. Pritzker took his campaign for governor to Brookfield on Aug. 28.

Pritzker spoke to an enthusiastic crowd of well in excess of 100 people who jammed into the Brookfield Ale House for the event organized by the Lyons Township Democratic Organization, the Brookfield Democratic Organization, and Indivisible Brookfield.

It was Pritzker’s second appearance in this area this summer. He also marched in the Riverside Fourth of July parade.

Pritzker gave fiery stump speech that lasted a little more than 15 minutes to an enthusiastic crowd of supporters before plunging into the crowd to shake hands and pose for photos.

Pritzker said that incumbent Gov. Bruce Rauner is the biggest obstacle to progress in Illinois, and he emphasized health care, education and jobs.

He did not mention how he would pay for any of his proposals or his support for a graduated income tax, which would require passing an amendment to the state’s constitution. Rauner has charged that Pritzker would raise taxes for most Illinoisans a charge the Pritzker campaign denies.

Pritzker, a billionaire businessman and philanthropist, is an heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune and the wealthiest candidate to ever run for governor in Illinois. Rauner also is enormously wealthy and the two are largely self-funding their respective campaigns. The race is one of the most expensive gubernatorial races in United States history.

As of Aug. 14 Pritzker, had personally donated a little over $126 million of the nearly $128 million his political committee has, raised according to the Illinois Sunshine website maintained by the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform which uses data from the Illinois Board of Elections.

Rauner has given $63.3 million to his campaign since he was elected governor in 2014.

In his speech, Pritzker vowed to create a state run “public option” health insurance program, boost spending on education, and promote jobs and business development.

STUMP SPEECH: J.B. Pritzker makes a point during a fiery 15-minute speech to more than 100 people at the Brookfield Ale House on Aug. 28. It was his second local appearance this summer. He also participated in Riverside’s Fourth of July parade.

He accused Rauner of cutting aid to higher education in Illinois and said Rauner wanted to gut public universities.

“He wants to consolidate the universities and shut things down, and he wants to fire people out of our universities,” Pritzker said.

Pritzker vowed to increase spending for education and to support vocational training.

“We need jobs in this state,” Pritzker said. “We need to make sure that our kids are getting educated, whether it’s vocational training in high school, community college or four-year universities.”

Pritzker, who is the founder of the 1871 technology and small business incubator in Chicago, spent the most time talking about promoting small business.

“We need to start a small-business loan fund in this state,” Pritzker said. “And we need technical assistance and mentorship to help people start and grow those busi-

nesses. We want a thousand flowers to bloom. All those big businesses, they started as small businesses.”

He accused Rauner of badmouthing the state and said that, if elected governor, he would promote the state.

“I’m going to be your best chief marketing officer of this state, I promise you,” Pritzker said.

He charged that Rauner has eliminated small business development centers throughout the state.

“We ought to be investing in small businesses,” Pritzker said. “That should be the lifeblood of the future and we should be the ones who make it happen. But we have a governor today who hasn’t done that. In fact, he closed most of the small business development centers in the state and got rid of a lot of the small business development officers.”

Brookfielder charged with aggravated assault Brookfield police charged an 18-year-old Brookfield man and a 17-year-old juvenile with assault and disorderly conduct after he allegedly threatened a teenager as he walked with friends in the 8600 block of Brookfield Avenue on Aug. 21 at 3:55 p.m.

The victim told police he was walking home from school when the 18 year old alleged offender yelled at him from his car and began displaying gang signs. When police arrived, the victim’s mother was standing between her son and the two alleged offenders, and police detained the two before they could get back into their vehicle.

According to the police report, the alleged offenders apparently believed the victim was responsible for damaging the 18 year old’s car the night before. After driving past the victim and staring him down, the 18 year old reportedly parked his vehicle farther down the street and got out, waiting for the victim.

The 18 year old then allegedly began demanding to know the victim’s name and accused him of damaging his car. Then the 18 year old reportedly ran at the victim with the tire iron, stating, “I’m gonna kill you.”

No one was injured. Police reported finding a tire iron in the vehicle.

Brookfield police responded to the vicinity of Vernon and Shields avenues in response to a suspicious person complaint. A 9-year-old girl said that while she was walking in the area a man in his 30s pulled up alongside her and asked her if she needed a ride.

The girl ran home to tell her mother and the vehicle was last seen eastbound on Shields from Vernon. The driver was described as a black male with short hair and wearing a multi-colored T-shirt.

Sorry about that Riverside police responded to the 400 block of Uvedale Road on Aug. 28 at about 1:45 p.m. after a woman called to report her vehicle had been stolen from the driveway of a residence there.

Once he realized his mistake, he drove the vehicle back to return it.

Vehicle break-ins ■ North Riverside police reported three burglaries to vehicles during the early morning hours of Aug. 21, after someone called to report a suspicious vehicle parked with no lights on in the vicinity of 9th Avenue and 24th Street. In addition, the witness reported one person looking into vehicles with a flashlight.

The vehicle, a black four-door Ford Focus, left the area eastbound on Cermak Road.

The witness told police that the vehicle drove down 9th Avenue with no lights on and parked near 24th Avenue. A man in his 20s dressed in a striped shirt got out of the vehicle and began looking into vehicles until he observed the witness. He then got into his car and drove away at a high rate of speed.

Police searched the area and observed a vehicle in the 8700 block of 26th Street with its trunk open. The inside had been ransacked, but the only thing missing, according to the owner, was a few dollars in loose change. The vehicle had been left unlocked.

In addition police discovered two other vehicles that had been entered, one in the 2200 block of 9th Avenue and one in the 2300 block of 9th Avenue. Both vehicles had been left unlocked. Nothing of value was reported missing from either vehicle.

Punched out in parking lot A security officer and North Riverside police responded on Aug. 24 at 6:10 p.m. to the parking lot at the North Riverside Park Mall, 7501 Cermak Road, to a report of a man down near Entrance 1.

Officers observed the victim, who had a laceration on the right side of his head, lying on the ground. Paramedics transported him to MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn for treatment.

A witness told police that the victim was walking through the parking lot when a newer model gray SUV, possibly a Dodge Journey, pulled up alongside of him. A man got out of the SUV and punched the victim, knocking him to the ground. The vehicle then left the area south, toward 26th Street.

These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Aug. 21-30, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

After 3 years, Elks getting local OK for video gambling Organization got state license, but never applied for Brookfield license

By BOB UPHUES Editor

If you’re a senior citizen who has lunched in the Cathy Colgrass Edwards Café inside Brookfield Elks Lodge #1510, or you’ve attended one of their bingo events, you may have noticed the handful of video gaming terminals at the lodge.

They’ve been a nice source of revenue for the Elks since being installed in May 2015, bringing in almost $50,000 for the fraternal organization. The village’s share of gaming taxes during that time has been around $7,000.

The trouble is, Brookfield trustees learned at their meeting on Aug. 27, is that the Elks never applied for or received local licenses for their four gaming terminals, something businesses and organizations are required to do by village ordinance.

It wasn’t until a village official just happened to be at an event at the Elks lodge earlier this year that the village learned about the snafu.

“We haven’t had one come up after the fact before this,” said Village President Kit Ketchmark.

At first, said Ketchmark, he was unsure whether the village would have to shut down the gaming operation at the lodge. However, they later learned that the state doesn’t require a local license before issuing their video gambling license, that the lodge had a valid gaming license from the state and that the village was getting its proper share of the taxes from the machines.

Ketchmark said officials from the Elks club, apparently unaware of the local licensing requirement, went ahead and installed the machines.

Elks Club President Robert Rolewicz confirmed that he and other club officials were

unaware of the local licensing requirement, saying he assumed the video gambling machine vendor would have been up to speed on that front.

“It was a bit of a surprise,” Rolewicz said.

Establishments with video gambling must pay $25 for a license to be a video gambling location and then $25 for each video gambling terminal it operates.

The village has missed out on a few hundred dollars as a result of the oversight, but Ketchmark said it’s unlikely the village will seek to recover that amount. Ketchmark said he was unsure whether the village would seek the fees for 2018 or simply begin charging the lodge for the licenses in 2019.

One thing the village must do, in order for its municipal code to reflect reality, is for trustees on Sept. 10 to vote to create a new video gambling license, which Ketchmark, as the village’s liquor commissioner, will award to the Elks lodge.

In order to avoid a similar issue in the future, said Ketchmark, the village may provide information about local video gambling license requirements to businesses annually as part of the business license renewal process.

“We’re still learning with all of these,” said Ketchmark.

Rolewicz said the machines have provided an important source of revenue to help defray utility costs, which have risen since the introduction of the senior café, which is part of the Community Nutrition Network, a nonprofit organization that provides low-cost meals to about 60 seniors onsite daily and more than 300 meals on wheels.

“The machines pretty well offset those costs,” Rolewicz said of the income from video gambling. “As long as we can keep doing the things we’re doing and support the community.”

Lightning strikes Brookfield condo building Norma and Tony Lovett were sitting in the living room of their first-floor condo at 8915 Burlington Ave. in Brookfield at about 2 p.m. on Sept. 3, watching “The Godfather” on TV. Sonny had just been gunned down, and Norma was at the edge of her seat.

“I thought that was scary,” she said.

“And then this.”

“This” was a bolt of lightning, which struck a parapet wall atop the two-story,

four-unit building, and blew bricks and concrete clear across Burlington Avenue, into the parking spaces on the north side of the street.

“I never heard lightning so damn loud,” said Tony Lovett. “I thought a bomb went off in the building. It was like ka-boom!

The whole living room lit up, pure white.”

The power flickered for a moment, but never really went out. Norma, who is president of the building’s condo association,

and Tony, who is vice president, went back to watching the movie until a neighbor came over to report seeing smoke outside.

“So I come out and there’s bricks all over the place,” Tony Lovett said.

But the “smoke,” it turned out, wasn’t related to a fire on the roof. Despite the fact all four units were occupied at the time of the lightning strike, which scored a direct hit on the parapet wall atop the front facade, no one was hurt and the building

does not appear to have suffered any structural damage, said Brookfield building inspector Paul Trudeau, who responded to the scene.

Bricks from the parapet wall tore through the canvas awning over the front entrance and crashed through a plastic bench outside the Lovetts’ patio door.

“It’s amazing nobody got hurt and the roof is still intact,” Tony Lovett said.

FOUNDATION

Foundation was being run and where it spent its money.

In 2006, about the same time as the name of the foundation was changed to the Arthur Foundation, the board deleted a section of its articles of incorporation, stating that the foundation should be operated “to improve and promote health in the Chicago metropolitan area.”

Instead the revised articles of incorporation said that the foundation would be operated for “charitable, educational and scientific purposes.”

The complaint filed by the Attorney General’s Office in the Chancery Division of the Cook County Circuit Court also alleged that the revised Articles of Incorporation were never filed with the Illinois Secretary of State’s office as required.

The attorney general said the foundation was meant “to address the healthcare needs of the residents of the MacNeal Hospital service area on a charitable basis.” It wanted the foundation to limit its grants to organizations working within a 10-mile radius of MacNeal Hospital.

Instead, the Arthur Foundation had given large grants to educational institutions, especially Loyola University of Chicago and Notre Dame University. Five of the seven board members who agreed to resign in 2016, including Kenahan, are graduates of Notre Dame.

According to tax returns filed by the Arthur Foundation, which are accessible on the Illinois Attorney General’s web site, the Arthur Foundation gave Notre Dame $2 million in 2011 to fund fellowships for MBA students and $500,000 to fund executive education.

Kenahan, who now works as the director of American Organization of Nurse Executives, said that the foundation’s relationship with Notre Dame started from its first days when the university’s Institute for Latino Studies conducted a needs assessment for the foundation.

In 2013, the foundation made a $25 million contribution to Notre Dame “to establish a donor advised fund that will be used to support the Arthur’s Foundation’s charitable purposes.”

In a telephone interview with the Landmark, Kenahan characterized that move as a way for the foundation to get higher investment returns on a portion of the Arthur Foundation’s endowment and that the foundation reaps the income from the fund.

“That was more of an investment decision,”

Kenahan said. “It actually came through the investment committee thinking long term about how to get a bigger bang for the buck.”

The Arthur Foundation also gave large sums to Loyola. It made a multiyear $14 million commitment to Loyola to pay for a new nursing building on Loyola’s Maywood medical center campus.

In some recent years, the 75 to 80 percent of the Arthur Foundation’s dollars went to Loyola.

In 2014, the Arthur Foundation handed out $4.2 million in grants, of which a little over $3 million went to Loyola, including a little over $2.2 million to nursing school.

In 2015, the foundation handed out just over $5 million, of which Loyola got $4.2 million, including $3 million to help pay for the new nursing building facility and $200,000 for nursing scholarships.

“Loyola was the closest non-profit health care facility to our headquarters and served our catchment area,” said Kenahan, whose mother was a nurse.

Over the years the Arthur Foundation also gave a few hundred thousand dollars to Riverside-Brookfield High School, which all three of Kenahan’s children attended.

It provided grants to help fund The Paw, an ill-fated off campus sandwich shop and café started by former Superintendent/Principal Jack Baldermann that opened in 2003 and shut down in 2006.

“I don’t think the Paw was ever able to sustain itself, but we thought it was a good project,” Kenahan said.

From 2007 to 2010 the Arthur Foundation donated a total of $225,000 to RBHS fund “disadvantaged student enhancement.”

In 2007-08 the foundation donated a total of $100,000 to Fenwick High School to fund scholarships for Hispanic students.

The Attorney General’s office had concerns had concerns about some of the grants the Arthur Foundation was making since they seemed unrelated to the foundation’s original mission.

The 2015 financial report of the Arthur Foundation notes on its last page that “the Illinois Attorney General’s Office raised concerns with respect to certain grants awarded by the Foundation in recent years.”

Kenahan said that the board, after its needs assessment, decided that education was a key area to focus on to improve the lives of people in the area around MacNeal.

“The board had a broader interpretation of

that mission,” Kenahan said. “I don’t think we did anything wrong.”

The Attorney General’s complaint also noted that the Arthur Foundation violated a provision in the original articles of incorporation that board members could not serve more than three consecutive three-year terms. The board claimed that it eliminated term limits, but agreed to settle the case by having all the board members resign.

Kenahan left his job at the Arthur Foundation three months after the settlement and after the new board was appointed. He said that he did not feel that he was forced out.

“It was a friendly transition,” Kenahan said.

The current Healthy Communities Foundation board and staff looks much different than the Arthur Foundation board and staff. While the outgoing board was all white males the new board is more diverse. All six staff members are women and all but one is Latina.

“Having individuals who understand the Latino, Asian, and African-American communities was very important to us as we put this team in place,” Pesqueira said.

The staff has grown in the last year to six, four full time and two part time, under Pesquera’s leadership, including two program officers with master’s degrees from the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration. In the last few years of Kenahan’s time, the staff was only he and a parttime employee.

The new leadership has decided to focus its efforts on an area bounded by a five-mile radius from MacNeal Hospital.

In 2017, the Healthy Communities Foundation doled out $7.2 million split up among 94 different organizations focusing not on universities but on organizations that provide services directly to residents, especially lowincome residents.

The Healthy Communities Foundation serves 27 ZIP code areas ranging from Lawndale to Western Springs. It plans on focusing its efforts on 12 of those ZIP code areas that are low-income.

On Aug. 21 it held a meeting at Riverside Township Hall attended by representatives from approximately 140 different organizations who learned about the foundation’s new strategic focus. The attendees were invited to apply for grants that will be awarded in December. The deadline for submitting grant applications is Sept. 17.

“We want to more responsive to our communities’ needs,” Pesqueira said.

Attorney general intervenes from page 1 Foundation last year.

The foundation has been transformed completely in the last two years after the Illinois Attorney General took the foundation to court to in 2016 and worked out settlement under which the entire board of directors of the Arthur Foundation resigned.

The foundation was created in 1999 with a $100 million endowment after MacNeal Hospital was sold to Vanguard Health Systems, a for profit hospital management company.

State law requires that when a not-for-profit hospital is sold to a for-profit company, the proceeds of the sale must be used to further the aims of the hospital -- typically by creating a community-based foundation that focuses on health.

The foundation was first called the MacNeal Health Foundation, but in 2006 changed its name to the Arthur Foundation named after Arthur MacNeal, an early doctor in Berwyn and a founder of MacNeal hospital.

An entirely new board of directors was chosen in 2016 by the Attorney General’s office and, in 2017, the new board decided to change the name of the foundation to the Healthy Communities Foundation.

“We wanted to be clear: That’s what we are.

You don’t have to google us to have an understanding,” said current board chairwoman Grace Hou, the president of the Woods Fund of Chicago and a resident of LaGrange Park.

The new board has changed the direction of the foundation, focusing on the original mission to promote health in the area around MacNeal Hospital.

Former longtime Riverside resident Michael Kenahan had been the only president of the Arthur Foundation until 2016 and served on the board for much of that time until he, along with all the other board members of the Arthur Foundation, agreed to resign in 2016.

He left his job as president of the foundation, which paid him a little over $225,000 in 2014 and $262,630 in 2015 according to the foundation’s tax returns, three months after the settlement in 2016.

The Attorney General’s office, which regulates not-for-profit foundations in Illinois, had a number of issues with how the Arthur

Metra schedule has some school parents scrambling Either leave kids outside or unsupervised or risk being late for work

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

A change in the Metra schedule has caused morning headaches for some train-riding parents of elementary school age children.

This summer Metra changed the schedule on its BNSF line and eliminated the train that stopped in downtown Riverside at 8:16 a.m.

It was popular with parents of elementary school kids, especially those whose children attend Central School in Riverside.

Central School is just a five-minute walk from the Riverside train station, so parents used to be able to drop their kids off around the time the first bell rang at 8:05 a.m. and still have plenty of time to stroll over to the train station to catch the 8:16 train.

Now the only Chicago-bound trains stop in Riverside at 7:55 a.m. and at 8:25 a.m., and that has put some parents in a pickle.

To make the 7:55 train they have to leave their kids at Central for about 10 minutes before adult supervision outside the school starts. Some don’t want to do that, so they take the 8:25 a.m. train, which pulls into Union Station until 8:51 and can result in people being late for work.

As a result, a few parents, about 10 accord-

ing to Central School Principal Pete Gatz, have asked if the school could begin adult supervision outside Central School at 7:45.

“I do not want my children left in front of the school for 10-15 minutes alone without any staff supervision,” said Kari Fisch, the mother of a Central School fourth-grader and first-grader.

Students are typically allowed to enter Central and other District 96 elementary schools at 8:05 a.m. but some staff members receive a stipend to provide supervision outside the schools from around the schools starting at 7:55 a.m.

School officials say the lack of adult supervision outside the school before 7:55 seems to be a problem for only a few parents and that a before-school care program is available at all District 96 schools, which parents could use.

“I think we have some very nice options because of the before and after care, and we will monitor it,” said District 96 Superintendent Marth Ryan-Toye.

However, some of the parents who want the staff supervision to start 10 minutes earlier say that they shouldn’t have to pay the roughly $5 a day per student cost for the before school care program for what would be just a few minutes of supervision.

It’s Your Money

“For me to pay 200 bucks a month for somebody to watch my kids for five minutes each morning, I don’t know, that’s a tough one to swallow,” said Umer Ahmed, the father of two Central School students, a first-grader and a fourth-grader.

So, this year Ahmed has been bringing his kids to Central at around 8 and then taking the 8:25 train downtown.

Fisch said that it is not so much the cost of the before-care program that is bothering her.

She said it is a bit of working-parent guilt.

“I don’t want to drop them off at 7:45 and have them be in before care for half an hour, be at school all day and then be in after care for three hours,” Fisch said.

Gatz said that at 7:55 a.m. about 10 staff members, all of whom receive stipends for the extra work, are stationed outside the school to provide supervision until the school day starts at 8:15.

Could those staff members be paid a little more to provide supervision 10 minutes earlier starting at 7:45 which would allow parents to catch the 7:55 train?

“That’s an option,” Ryan-Toye said. “That’s one of the things we have talked about, and we will continue to consider that as an option. But with Riverside Parks and Rec al-

THE “NEW” ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX: PART I

T

he 2017 Tax Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017. As part of the tax reform “simplification” process, there was a strong movement to eliminate the alternative minimum tax (AMI’) for corporations and individuals. The 2017 Tax Act does eliminate the corporate AMT but not the individual AMT. While the individual AMT was retained, it will now affect a much more narrow class of taxpayers as a result of increasing the income exemption levels as follows: The AMT exemption amount for joint filers is increased from $84,500 to $109,700 and for single filers from $54,300 to $70,300.

More importantly, the AMT phase out level for joint filers was increasedf rom $160,900 to $1,000,000 and for single filers to $500,000 (the phase out level is

that amount of alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI) above which the AMT exemption phases out by 25¢ for each dollar of AMTI).

New! Participants are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes to the race!

Both figures will be indexed for inflation but such changes are scheduled for sunset at December 31, 2025 at which point the 2017 AMT exemptions thresholds (indexed) will then be applicable.

The effect of the AMT exemption changes is dramatic, as it is projected for 2018 that the number of taxpayers paying AMT will be reduced from over 5,000,000 to approximately 200,000.

ready having the programming in place, our suggestion to families would be to enroll in the program.”

If the cost is a burden, Ryan-Toye noted that the Riverside Parks and Recreation Department does have scholarships available.

Fisch said she would be happy to contribute to increasing the stipend for 10 extra minutes of supervision.

“I’d be more than happy to make a donation to pay the stipend for the rest of the year,” Fisch said. “I can’t imagine 10 minutes extra would be that much.”

Gatz said that in cases of bad weather he will let kids in the school before 8:05.

“If it’s raining outside and we have kids standing outside the doors, I don’t sit there and wave and look at my watch,” Gatz said.

“We certainly get the kids in here if it’s raining, and we have protocols to have kids wait inside if the weather is really, really cold.”

Gatz encouraged parents who need to leave their kids before 7:55 to consider working out arrangements with other Central School parents who have the time to stay with children until 7:55.

“I also encourage the parents to talk to neighbors and seek out options from parents who live right around them,” Gatz said.

Time’s up for Carson’s at North Riverside Mall Original anchor retailer’s run ends at more than 40 years

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Circling the dozen or so clothing racks consolidated into one area of what once was the women’s department of Carson Pirie Scott at the North Riverside Park Mall, bargain hunters quickly shuffle through merchandise priced at $7 an item. A short time later, the store’s loudspeaker announces a price cut to just $5 per item.

There’s not a whole lot to choose from.

Outside this small hive of activity, the rest of the cavernous two-story department store is eerily desolate, populated only with empty merchandise display tables and barren glass cases that once constituted the perfume and cosmetics department.

By the end of Aug. 29, Carson’s will be gone forever. In North Riverside the department store was one of the mall’s three original anchors, in business for more than 40 years in the 160,000-square-foot location.

Of the two remaining anchors – J.C. Penney and Sears – it would have been hard to imagine Carson’s being the first to liquidate.

“It’s certainly a sad day for us,” said Harvey Ahitow, general manager of North Riverside Park Mall, which is owned by the Feil Organization.

It’s not the only retailer about to shut down at the mall. Liquidation sales are also taking place in the ground-floor space next door to Carson’s, at Fallas, whose parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Aug. 6.

National Stores Inc. at that time announced it would be closing 74 of its 344 stores, with

POLICE K9 Out of the blue from page 1 The club has funded scholarships, has supported the library and programs for those with disabilities as well as providing Little League and scouting sponsorships for decades through a trust fund created by the sale of the club’s swimming pool, which was located on Brookfield’s south end, to a real estate developer.

Instead of dissolving the club and letting its trust fund go toward Kiwanis projects internationally, said Klang, “We wanted to do something for the village itself.”

“It was really just out of the blue,” said Police Chief James Episcopo. “Joy said they were disbanding the unit and dissolving their assets and wanted to start a K-9 unit for the police department.”

Klang said she initially thought the club might use its funds to purchase body cam-

the Fallas location at North Riverside on the list. It’s unclear when Fallas will close its doors, said Ahitow.

“I’m not sure if they’ll hang on until the end of the year or not,” he said.

But, Ahitow isn’t mourning the loss of Fallas, a discount clothing and accessories retailer that opened at the mall in May 2015.

The mall had been in negotiations to take back part of the Fallas space even before the bankruptcy filing, Ahitow said. The mall has signed letters of intent with three prospective tenants to take over the Fallas space and the two smaller retail spaces to the south, between Fallas and Penney’s. In all, the three spaces comprise about 40,000 square feet of retail space.

“I’m very optimistic this space will be much better than what Fallas offered the shopping center,” Ahitow said. “I expect this to get done by the end of next year, if not sooner.”

As for the Carson’s space, Ahitow said he was confident that the entire two-story anchor space would be revitalized in the coming years. The Feil Organization, however, does not own the anchor space, which complicates the matter somewhat.

The anchor space was owned by Carson Pirie Scott’s parent company The Bon Ton Stores. It is now owned by New Jersey-based Wilson Associates.

Ahitow said the Feil Orgainzation is in talks with Wilson Associates “about a number of things, including replacement tenants.”

“We actually envision that entire box being re-leased with a new façade on the outside,” Ahitow said. “It may take five years before it

all happens, but the real estate the shopping center is sitting on is [valuable]. It will take some time to see what the current owner or we decide what to do.”

Ahitow said the Feil Organization and Classic Cinemas continue to work on a plan to expand the movie theaters at North Riverside Park Mall, and buildout continues on Round One, the family entertainment complex slated to open in half of the former Sears lower level by late 2018.

Meanwhile, Seritage Growth Properties, the owner of the two-story anchor occupied

by Sears on the top floor and Round One on the ground floor, continues to market the remaining ground-floor commercial spaces.

Ahitow said there’s a fully executed lease to bring an Amita Health primary care clinic to 10,000 square feet of the former Sears lower level, leaving about 30,000 more of that space to fill.

“We are extremely happy that Seritage is there and doing their thing,” Ahitow said.

“The shopping center is going to be much better off at the end of the day with Seritage releasing that space.”

eras for the police department. But she and fellow club member Mary Carlson then hit upon the K-9 unit as a better alternative, though they soon found that doing so would cost much more than spending $10,000 or so to purchase and train a dog.

Episcopo and Petrak researched the actual expenses for starting a K-9 unit, which included buying and outfitting a 2018 Chevy Tahoe that would serve solely as that team’s vehicle.

The dog and its handler, who has not yet been chosen, will be sent to Shallow Creek Kennels in Pennsylvania for six weeks of training. Episcopo said he would prefer the department to acquire a German shepherd for the K-9 unit.

“There are a lot of moving parts trying to get this together,” said Episcopo.

The vehicle has already been ordered and Shallow Creek Kennels has reserved a spot for the Brookfield unit, Episcopo said, but the vehicle needs to be completely outfitted before the next training class begins on Oct. 1.

The officer will take the dog in the vehicle

to the training class and, afterward, will take the dog to and from work in that vehicle. The dog will live with the officer’s family and will have the option of keeping the dog when it’s time for the animal to retire.

Last week, Episcopo issued notice to his officers about the creation of K-9 unit, asking for applicants for the job. In mid-September, the command staff, along with Cook County Sheriff ’s Police K-9 officer Eric Roedel and Westchester Deputy Chief Michael O’Hagan, a former K-9 officer, will interview candidates for the job.

“We want to make sure we’re asking the right questions,” Episcopo said.

The person chosen as the department’s K-9 officer will work a regular shift, but will also be on call 24 hours a day to respond to incidents requiring a dog to locate a person or contraband – either in Brookfield or in a surrounding community needing assistance.

That may result in additional overtime for a police department short two officers at the present time, where overtime expense is already an issue – and losing an officer for six weeks’ training isn’t optimal -- but accord-

ing to Episcopo, “the positives outweigh the challenges.”

Annually, Episcopo said the department may budget about $4,500 for dog food, training, insurance and medical care, but said he expects those expenses to come in lower than that.

Episcopo also said he has reached out to Merrick Animal Hospital in Brookfield, and that they’ve shown interest in helping support the K-9 unit by providing routine vaccinations for free and obtaining food at a discount.

In addition to its law-enforcement role, the dog could also play a valuable public relations role for police, Episcopo said, by participating in village events such as block parties, the farmers market, Fourth of July, Project NICE, the Bike Rodeo and Monsters on Mainstreet, among others.

“We’re not talking about starting a program like this just to have a mascot,” Episcopo told the village trustees during a presentation at the Aug. 27 village board meeting. “It’s a police dog first, with police functions.”

Carson’s website: We’re coming back Just hours after all Carson Pirie Scott locations shut their doors Aug. 29 in the wake of a company-wide liquidation – the Carson’s website had a somewhat surprising announcement to share. “We’ve got great news. Carson’s is coming back! Stay tuned for updates over the coming weeks.”

The same message could be found at the website of the late department store’s parent company, The Bon Ton Stores, as well as the websites of its other store nameplates, Boston Store, Bergner’s, Herberger’s, ElderBeerman and Younkers.

One the Carson’s store locator map, all of the shuttered locations, including the one in North Riverside, are listed as “temporarily closed.”

Before filing for bankruptcy protection in February, The Bon Ton Stores operated 260 stores.

A pair of liquidation firms, Great American Group LLC and Tiger Capital Group LLC, purchased The Bon Ton Stores’ assets at auction for $575 million in April.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reached the president of the company leading the liquidation sales about the mysterious website announcements, but got an equally cryptic response.

“The company’s intellectual property is in the process of being sold,” said Great American Group’s Scott Carpenter in an emailed statement to the Journal-Sentinel “We cannot speak to the purchaser’s future plans with the company. All inquiries should be referred to the buyer which will be disclosed once the transaction is closed.”

The Bon Ton Stores was headquartered in Milwaukee and York, Pennsylvania.

Brookfield awards contract for sidewalk replacement Work to begin later this month

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Brookfield trustees on Aug. 27 awarded an $85,127 contract to Addison-based Strada Construction to install 11,433 square feet – or about 460 squares – of sidewalk throughout the village this fall.

Work is slated to begin this month, said Public Works Director Amy Wagner, though as of late last week there was no firm start date.

“I’m hoping we’re starting sometime in September, the sooner the better,” Wagner said.

Unlike in some prior years, the 2018 sidewalk replacement program will address locations throughout the village and not in one particular zone. This spring, the village asked residents to request repairs to sidewalks that were deteriorating or presented trip hazards.

In addition to those locations, officials also received requests to replace sidewalks that had more cosmetic, rather than safety, issues.

The village offered those residents the op-

portunity to replace the sidewalk squares by sharing the cost equally with the village.

About 1,600 square feet (65 squares) of sidewalk qualified for the 50/50 cost share. Residents will be contributing about $10,900 total as their share of the cost.

The village budgeted $50,000 for sidewalk replacement in 2018, but the village board adopted a recommendation from Wagner to put an additional $25,000 into this year’s program, by diverting funds earmarked in the budget for street crack sealing and pavement rejuvenator.

“I felt we could hold off on those for another year,” Wagner said. “It was more important to get these sidewalk locations repaired.”

According to Michelle Robbins, the village’s human resources director, since the beginning of 2016, three people have made insurance claims against the village after tripping on sidewalks. One of those claims resulted in a payout of $15,000, she said.

Strada Construction submitted the low-

est of three bids the village received for the work.

Alley paving set to start For the first time in nearly a decade, a pair of Brookfield residential alleys will be paved as part of the village’s special assessment process.

In August, the village board awarded contracts to pave the alley between the 4100 blocks of Deyo Avenue and DuBois Boulevard as well as the alley between the 3500 blocks of Prairie and Forest avenues.

Work is expected to begin later this month and continue into November. Unlike prior alley paving projects, which were traditional concrete pavement, these two alleys will utilize green technology in the form of permeable pavers in addition to concrete.

The village board at a special meeting on Aug. 15 awarded the 4100 Deyo/DuBois alley project to Triggi Construction, which submit-

ted the lowest of four bids at $317,863.

On Aug. 27, the village awarded the 3500 Prairie/Forest contract to MYS Inc.in the amount of $223,675. The village board selected MYS after the initial low-bidder, A Lamp Concrete, withdrew its bid. MYS, which had submitted the second-lowest bid, agreed to lower some of its pricing so that the total came in closer to A Lamp’s bid.

Awarding the contracts completes a months’ long process, which started with residents of the block passing petitions to gauge support for creating the special assessment to pay for the work.

The village paid for engineering and legal costs, but construction costs are shared by property owners based on the lineal footage of their lots. The special assessment will be levied and will be applied to residents’ property tax bills for the next 10 years.

The last time residents followed the special assessment process through to completion to pave an alley in Brookfield was in 2009.

Opinion A

couple of weeks ago, the Brookfield Planning and Zoning Commission correctly pushed back on village staff ’s recommendations for rewriting the land use table for the Eight Corners business district.

While we understand staff ’s concern here about wanting to prevent a church from being the dominant feature of what they envision as a pedestrian-oriented mixed-use commercial district – there is a good deal of land at Eight Corners that is either owned by the Methodist church or by a person who has demonstrated a willingness to buy and donate property in the area to the church – the proposed rewrite is overly restrictive.

Essentially, the village’s proposal would eliminate all but a narrow set of commercial uses at Eight Corners, skewing strongly toward food-and-drink establishments. But the amendment would also outlaw perfectly appropriate uses for such a district – entertainment businesses like video arcades, bowling alleys, a community center, live music venues, art-related uses such as artist studios and schools.

Those kinds of businesses not only draw the very kind of pedestrian traffic the village seeks to create at Eight Corners, some of those businesses already exist and are welcome additions to the district.

There is some fear that Linda Sokol Francis, whose purchases of key locations in and around Eight Corners has made her one of the district’s most important land owners, is committed to making Eight Corners into some sort of religious mission.

It’s true she has advocated for building a church/community center on land she and the Methodist church own in the 3400 block of Grand Boulevard. She would still like that dream to come true.

But with respect to other properties she has purchased at Eight Corners, while she may see those properties as an extension of the Methodist church’s mission, she has also proposed using them for exactly the kinds of commercial purposes the village would like to see at Eight Corners.

That it’s taking some time to get those businesses off the ground is disappointing, sure, but we don’t doubt Francis’ sincerity in wanting to bring viable, desirable businesses to the district.

And while some may be unhappy with the fact that the Compassion Factory art gallery also bears a sign indicating it is also the home of Compassion United Methodist Church, the village board granted that use to the property.

On the whole, Compassion Factory in its short time in existence has been an asset, providing cultural, social and educational benefits that didn’t exist before, or at least for years, at Eight Corners.

Finally, for those worried about the church’s or Francis’ influence at Eight Corners, the fact is that anyone could have bought the properties there, including the village. But no one else did.

We see no reason for the village to attempt an end around by eliminating many appropriate uses at Eight Corners as a way to prevent Francis’ original vision of a community center/church from being built at Eight Corners.

Will that vision ever become reality? We have no idea, but in the meantime there’s no reason to install unnecessary roadblocks for remaking Eight Corners into a thriving commercial district.

Hot classrooms greet students as classes start

t is September already and the school bells have rung loud and clear, summoning the little darlings back for another year of learning.

Also, which always seems to ring true, it means that the weather will be hot-hot-hot.

When I was molding minds in the classroom, I would hear the students lamenting about how hot it was and asking why wasn’t there air conditioning, at which point I reminded them it was also hot where I was standing and we would just have to offer it up (Catholic school thing).

We would have box fans in the classrooms and we let students have water breaks and water bottles. The more water they drank the more bathroom breaks, the more fans, the louder one had to speak. Guess what? We lived through it.

Does it also seem school starts earlier? My son, whose birthday is on Sept. 1, felt school should never start before his birthday. That didn’t come to pass.

This year we are seeing schools getting more crowded as there seems to be a deluge of students.

At one time enrollment at Blythe Park School in Riverside dropped so low some felt it should be closed and the property sold. Good thing it didn’t happen.

Ames School also in Riverside needs to expand, with the school board searching for ways to accommodate all of the kids.

Komarek School in North Riverside has encountered the same problem.

What doesn’t change is you need to keep those No. 2 pencils sharpened, crayons boxed, have enough paper, make sure you keep your assignment notebook up to date and don’t answer the question “What did you learn in school today?” with the answer “Nothing.”

LETTERS

Huge investment of money, effort at Eight Corners

Assemblies not all the same

The last couple week, I have read letters to the editor degrading me and what I am trying to accomplish at Eight Corners. The last letter (“A tale of two visions,” Opinion, Aug. 22) referred to me as a retrograde element.

I am not sure what that means, but if that means someone who is taking three storefront buildings and bringing them up to code by replacing all plumbing, all electrical, all air conditioning, all furnaces, all walls, all floors, all hot-water heaters, all roofs and all new bathroom facilities, then I am guilty as charged.

This is costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, in addition to the cost of purchasing the buildings to help make Eight Corners something of which to be proud.

As anyone knows who has ever done a building project, getting permits, builders, roofers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and inspectors scheduled takes and enormous amount of time.

Certainly, much more time that I would have hoped for, but in the end, I hope all of Brookfield will be proud of Eight Corners.

In the Aug. 29 Landmark article “Brookfield proposes sweeping changes at 8 Corners,” Adam Durkin, the attorney representing Brookfield before its planning and zoning commission, said, “You can’t prohibit certain assemblies and allow other kinds of assemblies, so there’s no real difference between them.”

There’s a big difference between church and secular assemblies. The latter pay taxes and the former do not.

In addition, were a local chapter of the KKK try and set up a place of assembly near Eight Corners I think it fair to say they would rightfully be denied, so some assemblies can, and should be denied.

Junior-laden tennis team strings together wins to open season

By MARTY FARMER

W

Sports Editor

ith the exception of a couple of seniors, the Riverside-Brookfield High School girls tennis team features a bunch of new names on the varsity roster.

The hardest part for veteran coach Bob Hegner might simply be getting all the girls names right.

“We have a girl whose name is Kathe (Pribyl Pierdinock), but she likes to be called Katie even though it’s spelled differently,” Hegner said. “Another girl’s name is Sara (Dorenbos) but she goes by Sally. And then we have two girls with the same first name, Grace (Taber, Gersch).”

If the Bulldogs maintain their winning ways, the relatively unknown group could quickly become a household name in the confines of Metro Suburban Conference tennis.

RBHS is off to a 3-0 start with victories over Trinity, Elmwood Park and Immaculate Conception. The Bulldogs also won 6 of 7 first sets in seven matches against Addison Trail before rain suspended play. Until the Bulldogs and Blazers resume those matches, consider it a split decision against Mother Nature.

“We are off to a pretty good start but it can be a little misleading,” Hegner said. “We will be playing some tough opponents in our conference division.”

Nevertheless, an undefeated start never hurts a team’s mojo. The team’s promising start is attributable to contributions from many players.

Pribyl Pierdinock and Fierra Mulhern are the Bulldogs’ top two singles players.

“Kathe played first doubles as a sophomore last year,” Hegner said. “You could see her development. It looks like things could work out well for her at first singles this season.

Kathe’s mom is a tennis player as well and they play together.

Kathe has gained some good experience playing tennis.”

Dorenbos and Gersch are No. 1 doubles, while Grace Taber and Megan Riordan hold down No. 2 doubles.

Junior Evie Roth plays both singles and doubles for the Bulldogs.

Jillian Kay Cadungog, Molly Durkin and Kathleen Mary Shereck comprise the rest of the listed roster. RBHS also has a handful of promising underclassmen players who play either varsity or junior varsity matches depending on whether matches are a 2 singles/3 doubles or 3 singles/4 doubles format.

“My philosophy is I want to same as many girls playing matches as possible,” Hegner said.

According to Hegner, one aspect of the game his players can improve on is net play.

“The girls in our program aren’t good volleyers,” he said.

“They really shy away from the net which can lead to their undoing at times. It’s important to take advantage of balls that fall inside the service line. When a ball falls short in

With 32 players in the program overall, the Bulldogs’ numbers are solid. This is also the second season RBHS has enjoyed the benefit of a true home court advantage with five courts on campus. In previous years, while the current courts were under construction, RBHS played its matches at the Oak Brook Tennis Center.

The Bulldogs’ toughest matches this year are still to be played. Timothy Christian, Wheaton Academy and St. Francis will provide plenty of competition in conference.

“We’ve had quite a turnover this year because we lost so many seniors last season,” Hegner said. “In that regard, it’s

never been worse than this season.

“I always tell our players about a John Steinbeck story when I taught about how a boy becomes a man when a man is needed,” Hegner added. “At RB, a player becomes a varsity player when a varsity player is needed.”

As players become more accountable at the varsity level, the team’s future appears bright.

“We primarily have juniors and a couple of sophomores on the varsity,” Hegner said. “I really like the players we have down at the bottom, too, our varsity reserve. All these girls are getting varsity experience, and they’ll be better players for it.”

RBHS takes on Fenton (Thursday, Sept. 6; 4:30 p.m.) in Bensenville. The Bulldogs’ match against the Bison kicks off seven straight matches on the road.

Fenwick, Trinity will contend in GCAC White Volleyball rivals clash in early October at Trinity

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

With fellow leader Margaret Planek having moved on to the University of Pennsylvania, McKenzie Moorman returns as the unquestioned leader of the Fenwick High School volleyball team.

Last year, Planek was the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference White Division Player of the Year, while Moorman earned AllGCAC honors as the Friars finished 20-15.

Moorman amassed 359 kills and 172 digs at outside hitter in 2017. A four-year varsity starter at Fenwick, she has committed to play college volleyball at South Carolina.

However before she joins the Gamecocks, Moorman hopes to close out her high school career in style at Fenwick.

“McKenzie brings us leadership and experience,” Fenwick coach Kathleen O’Laughlin said. “She is a dominant left side attack. She is a threat from both the front and back court.”

Some of the team’s other top contributors include seniors Zaria Glover (right side hitter), Kate Beltram (left side outside hitter/ defensive specialist), along with juniors Alesia Mollo (libero) and Ally Riggs (setter).

“Zaria is blocking at a high level and has the ability to terminate the ball at many different points along the net,” O’Laughlin said. “Kate provides us with stability in the

Fenwick senior McKenzie Moorman had 359 kills and 172 digs in 2017. She’s committed to South Carolina. backcourt and she’s also a very effective left side option for us. Alesia is a solid passer and has excellent defensive skills. Ally has really improved from last season and she’s doing a great job of running our offense.”

Sophomore outside hitter Beau Vanderlaan, sophomore middle blocker Lauren Hall and promising freshman Elise Henegan augment the lineup with young talent.

Fenwick opened the season with straight-

set wins over Northside Prep (25-23, 25-5) and Lane Tech (25-20, 25-20).

Big 3 lead Blazers Whether it’s been Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce on the Boston Celtics or LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh with the Miami Heat, Big 3’s have translated very well in the NBA. On the local girls high school volleyball lev-

el, Trinity has its Big 3-version which could lead to winning the Girls Catholic Athletics Conference title and perhaps even more.

Six-foot junior outside hitter Emma Jacobs (school-record 367 kills, 207 digs in 2017), 6-0 senior middle hitter Haley Gohmann (150 kills, 34 blocks) and 5-7 senior outside hitter Joseline Alvarez (208 kills, 178 digs in 2017) are the Blazers’ headliners this fall.

For good measure, Trinity has bolstered its depth with the additions of three notable freshmen: setters Bridget Whiteside and Grace Beacom and libero Eileen Weger.

Setter Megan Kazmierowicz, setter Leslie Alvarez, right side Sarah Mendelson, outside hitter Micayla Scudiero, middle hitter Ali Webber, right side Kelly Saleh, right side hitter Lauren Saleh, and libero Sarah Murphy comprise the remainder of the roster.

The Blazers, who finished 23-15 and 4-1 in the GCAC White in 2017, have a shot at advancing downstate this season. That trip would be particularly rewarding after two straight sectional losses the past two seasons.

Montini defeated Trinity 25-21, 23-25, 25-19 in a Class 3A sectional semifinal last season.

Trinity hosts upcoming matches against Regina (9/11) and DePaul Prep (9/12). Both matches start at 6 p.m. at the Sister Michelle Germanson Athletic Facility.

Football Notebook: Nazareth levels Lutheran North Roadrunners’ talent too much to handle for St. Louis-area powerhouse

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

It’s never too early for a football notebook, so let’s recap how our local high school teams fared in Week 1 action.

The Riverside-Brookfield Landmark teams we cover went 2-2 with Nazareth and Riverside-Brookfield recording wins and Lyons Township and Fenwick taking tough losses at home.

Not surprisingly, Nazareth looked like the best team of the bunch. The Roadrunners, who advanced to the Class 6A state championship game in 2017, defeated Lutheran North 20-6 in LaGrange Park.

Alex Carrillo and Dylan Smith had touchdown runs of 11 yards and 3 yards, receptively, to spark the explosive Roadrunners against one of the best teams in the St. Louis area.

In between their scores, sophomore quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw an 11-yard TD pass to Diamond Evans. After Evans’ reception, Andrew Hughes kicked the PAT to extend the Roadrunners’ lead to 14-6 in the first quarter. Nazareth tacked on Smith’s touchdown in the fourth quarter to put the game away at 20-6.

Already drawing recruiting interest from several Division I programs, McCarthy completed 11 of 19 passes for

File photo

Nazareth’s Michael Love had three catches for 60 yards in a 20-6 win over Lutheran North.

145 yards with Carrillo (12 rushes, 62 yards) and Smith (8 carries, 42 yards) offering ground support. Michael Love had three catches for 60 yards and Evans finished with five receptions for 59 yards.

Defensively, Marcus Griffin led Nazareth with five solo tackles, five assists and a sack. Louis Stec chipped in three solo tackles and three assists.

Riverside-Brookfield claimed an opening week win as well, albeit in more gritty fashion by outlasting area rival Morton 20-14 in overtime. After the Bulldogs’ Luke Gentile scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 5-yard run, he collaborated with Brandon Aguilar to force a Morton fumble that was recovered by RBHS teammate Connor Pitts to clinch the overtime victory.

RBHS junior quarterback Dario Marchica turned in an efficient performance, completing 16 of 20 passes for 93 yards.

Chris Doherty rushed for 57 yards on nine carries. Wide receiver Joe Shelven contributed six catches for 55 yards.

Defensively, senior linebacker Dominick Rowe had seven tackles, including a tackle for loss and a sack. Elliot Royer finished with 7.5 tackles and a pass breakup. Gentile chipped in five tackles.

“I think we grew up a lot against Morton,” RBHS coach Brendan Curtin said. “We found out a lot about ourselves which is very encouraging.”

LTHS and Fenwick both suffered season-opening losses at home. Sandburg defeated the Lions 24-13 and Kenwood beat the Friars 20-9.
