North Riverside police chief announces retirement

A DAY IN THE SUN

Niemann leaves Nov. 30 after 34 years; deputy to be promoted

By BOB UPHUES Editor

Lane Niemann, who has served as North Riverside’s police chief since May 2013, will retire from the force on Nov. 30 after 34 years of service to the department.

“The last four and a half years have been great,” said Niemann. “It’s nice to have had the support of the mayor, the village board and the residents of the town. It made me proud every day. The entire department, from the deputy chief down to the patrol officers made my job very, very easy.”

Mayor Hubert Hermanek Jr. has already confirmed that Deputy Chief Deborah Garcia will take over as interim police chief on Dec. 1 and will be sworn in as chief during the village board’s meeting in December.

She will be the department’s first female police chief.

“She brings a tremendous leadership quality to the position,” Niemann said. “Her integrity is unquestionable.”

Hermanek called Garcia’s appointment as chief “the easiest decision I could have made.”

Garcia, a 30-year veteran of the department, said she was honored to be named chief, calling Niemann a “friend, See RETIREMENT on page 11

North Riverside’s oldest institution enters new chapter Scottish Home rebrands as Caledonia Senior Living and Memory Care

It was impossible to escape “the question.” If it wasn’t the first question people asked, it was on the list.

“Do you have to be Scottish to live at the Scottish Home?”

While the answer to that question has been “no” for more than a century, the name of North Riverside’s oldest institution, which provides assisted living, intermediate and skilled care and Alzheimer’s and dementia care, was a barrier.

Following a nearly two-year long rebranding effort, on Oct. 16 Gus Noble, president of Chicago Scots, announced that the institution was changing its name to Caledonia Senior Living and Memory Care.

“It’s been on our minds for a couple of years,” Noble said. “Like our peers in the industry, ethnic-based homes have a strong cultural support from people who set up the community in the first place. But that kind of comes with it the risk that the name that is above the door eventually hurts rather than helps.”

The board of Chicago Scots, also known as the Illinois St. Andrew Society, has operated a home for the aged in what is now North Riverside since 1910. The original building burned down in 1917, and was immediately rebuilt, so the rebranding marks the centennial of that rebirth and the start of a new chapter in its history.

“We felt we needed a name that reflects the voices of the community, that reflects our core values, that reflects the things we do, who we are and who we serve,” Noble said.

In 2016, Chicago Scots unveiled its Caledonian House, a free-standing assisted living facility on the North Riverside campus devoted to treating those with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The Scottish Home name will live on as the name of the building that houses the original assisted living/nursing care facility on the campus.

The new care facility was purposefully named. Caledonia is the Latin word the Romans used for present-day Scotland, so it’s still tied to the organization’s heritage, but in a subtle way.

While officials considered a dozen or so options for a new name, Caledonia was always a front-runner, and the reaction to the

“We had it in our minds when we developed the Caledonian House that that might be a good opportunity for us to test how people feel about the name Caledonia,” Noble said.

Part of that test included using a dedicated phone line for specifically marketing the Caledonian House and tracking what kinds of questions people asked as opposed to people calling the Scottish Home.

“Whereas people may phone the Scottish Home and ask the logical question, ‘Do you have to be Scottish to live there,’ when they were phoning the Caledonian House’s direct phone line in response to an ad or a piece that was just about the Caledonian House, never once did they ask that question.”

“In my mind, we were proving to ourselves that the challenge that we faced as far as first impressions we were overcoming with the name Caledonian House.”

The rebranding effort for Caledonia Senior Living and Memory Care also included the adoption of a new logo, which again refers to Scotland, but not overtly and whose imagery

evokes the organization’s core values.

The simple logo appears to be a pair of intertwined hearts topped by seven narrow lines that evoke rays of light or the top of a flower.

The inspiration for the logo, said Noble, is the luckenbooth – a traditional piece of Scottish jewelry, typically a brooch showing two intertwined hearts, signifying love, topped by a crown, signifying loyalty, used often as a love token.

“The significance, we thought, was very profound when you think about what the Scottish Home is,” Noble said.

RBHS lunchroom volunteer a fundraising powerhouse Retired money manager raises almost $7,000 for Best Buddies group

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

A retired commodities trader who now works a couple hours a day as a lunchroom supervisor at Riverside-Brookfield High School organized a golf outing that raised $6,900 for the RBHS Best Buddies Club, which promotes friendships between special education students and regular education students.

The donation is just one example of the influence that Rich “Chubbs” Polfus has made in his short time at RBHS. “We about dropped over,” said RBHS social worker Mari Mortensen, who didn’t even know of the fundraiser until after it had been held. “They kept it a secret from us,” Mortensen said.

Mortensen and Best Buddies cosponsor Dawn Soprych are now pondering what to do with the largest donation the club has ever received.

“We are taking our time to figure out what we want to do with this and how we can make the most of it,” Mortensen said. “We started a Best Buddies college scholarship for students who are going into either special ed or dis-

ability rights. We’ll be adding to those scholarships.”

Polfus, 58, retired in 2013 from his job working for Goldman Sachs managing a commodity price index at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, began working at RBHS late last spring.

A member of the Chicago 16-inch softball Hall of Fame, Polfus found out about the opening from an old softball buddy, Riverside Realtor Brian Brennan, who also supervises the lunchroom at RBHS, where he’s worked for about seven years.

Brennan, who played a key role in organizing the golf outing, has known Polfus for more than 30 years and says he is excellent dealing with students.

“He’s got a great personality,” Brennan said. “He picks up on things easily. He’s just a well-rounded individual and he’s very good with students.”

Polfus served as the player-manager for The Takers, a powerhouse 16-inch softball team in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He played and managed for about 30 years.

Polfus became interested in Best Buddies, because a former coworker at the Merc and childhood friend, Dennis Meade, has a daughter at RBHS who is in Best Buddies.

“I’ve known Denny all my life,” Polfus said.

Polfus said he raises money for various organizations, and that it made sense to do

It’s a nice place to stay young.”

Polfus, who grew up in Oak Park and now lives in Forest Park, occasionally tends bar at the McGaffers tavern on Roosevelt Road.

The fundraiser included nine holes of golf

at Flagg Creek Golf Course in Countryside and dinner and drinks at McGaffers. The cost was $80 person, and about 100 people participated, many who had no connection to RBHS. “He had union electricians coming to this thing, the mayor of Forest Park was there,” Mortensen said. “I saw the list of who attended and it was incredible.”

Armed robbery reported after Ehlert Park incident Brookfield police continue to investigate an incident that initially was reported as an armed robbery, but which appears to have begun as a drug deal that went south after a person attempted to buy cannabis using counterfeit money.

According to Brookfield police, three males — two age 18 and the other age 16 — said they were robbed at gunpoint by two men in the parking lot at Ehlert Park on Oct. 13 about 10:45 p.m.

The alleged victims told police they were sitting in a car in the lot when a white vehicle pulled into the parking lot. Two people, one of whom was known to them through high school, exited the white car. The other person, who was not known to the three, reportedly pulled out a handgun and demanded items, including a gym bag, which they surrendered.

In the course of their investigation, police discovered that one of the three victims was allegedly attempting to sell cannabis and arranged for a purchase to take place at Ehlert Park.

The reputed buyer reportedly handed the seller obvious counterfeit bills and then allegedly pulled out a handgun and demanded the cannabis, which was in a gym bag, when the victims tried to leave without making the deal.

Police learned about the incident when they were called about 11:20 p.m. to the 200 block of Sawyer in LaGrange to investigate a disturbance. The victims reportedly went to the LaGrange residence because they believed one of the offenders was staying there and wanted to attempt to get their property back.

Theft from vehicle North Riverside police were called to the 2400 block of 2nd Avenue on Oct. 14 about 11:05 a.m. after a resident called to report that someone had broken into his vehicle which was parked in the driveway overnight.

The vehicle wasn’t locked, according to police, and the offender removed several

CDs and some winning lottery tickets from the center console.

Gas on, nobody home

A tenant at an apartment building in the 7600 block of 26th Street, North Riverside, called police on Oct. 2 just prior to midnight after coming home from work and observing that all four stove burner knobs were in the “low” position, but were not ignited, filling the apartment with natural gas.

The tenant turned off the burners and contacted the building owner, police reported. Nothing was reported missing or disturbed inside the residence, with the exception of the stove. Police found no signs of forced entry and no one else had a key.

Suspicious incident Police responded to the 3200 block of Prairie Avenue, Brookfield, on Oct. 12 about 3:25 p.m. after a man called to report that his daughter and her friend, both of whom are under the age of 11, reportedly had been approached by

an older male in a blue vehicle as they walked in the area of Garfield and Prairie.

The girls described the driver of the blue vehicle as a white male, about 50 years old with white hair and sunglasses. As the girls were walking on the sidewalk, police said, the blue sedan pulled up alongside them in the parking lane and the driver rolled down the window.

The driver never spoke to the girls, nor did he make any gestures in their direction, according to the police report. Both girls ran from the scene and the blue vehicle was last seen heading northbound toward 31st Street.

Bike stolen A resident of an apartment building in the first block of Forest Avenue, Riverside, contacted police on Oct. 9 about 3:20 p.m. to report that sometime after Oct. 5, someone broke into his basement storage unit and removed his red racing-type bicycle.

RBHS workshop combats bullying, promote diversity Grew out of meetings last year between officials, student activists

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Two weeks ago, about 275 Riverside-Brookfield High School students spent an entire school day in the school’s field house. They weren’t listening to lectures or learning from books. Rather they were participating in a workshop designed to combat bullying by promoting inclusiveness and respecting diversity.

The day was also designed to build leadership skills among the students, who either volunteered for the workshop or were encouraged to participate by teachers and other school officials.

As students walked into the field house they were randomly divided into 24 small groups of about 10 to 12 students each. In their groups they tossed tennis balls, tried to transport marbles in small tubes across the field house, and maneuvered tennis balls on a string into a bucket.

The activities were designed to break down barriers and build cohesiveness. Because students were randomly assigned to their small groups, most only knew a few of students in their groups.

Each group had an adult facilitator, either an RBHS teacher or an employee of the company that ran the workshop and led the smallgroup discussions throughout the day. After each discussion session, one or two members of each group would present suggestions that the group came up with to the rest of the parfrom PREVIOUS page While the lock to the storage unit was intact, the offender removed the nails from the wood frame of the unit, rendering a lock useless.

Police reported that they tried to use a handcuff key but were unable to open the handcuffs. Stymied, police called paramedics over to the station, and Riverside Fire Chief Matthew Buckley was able to pick the lock to the handcuff using a paper clip.

ticipants.

“I really liked it,” said junior Alyssa Monti said. “I thought it was overpowering to be together with all these people who you’ve never really talked to before.”

Senior Jonathan Wells liked it as well.

“It definitely brought this group of people a lot closer, and I think it’s really going to impact RB in a lot of ways that we don’t know,” Wells said. “There are going to be a lot of ways that we’re going to be able to help not only our school, but the community as well.”

Within the small groups one frequent topic of conversation was how to reach out to people you don’t know and who might seem different to you. The overriding message from the workshop was that “we all belong” and conservation centered on breaking down barriers.

“I’m probably going to be more outgoing in terms of just saying hi to that one person I’ve been wanting to say hi to or maybe like saying how much I love that one’s person’s shirt or their dress, stuff like that,” Wells said.

One activity called “cross the line” showed students how many of them had experienced similar issues, ranging from bullying to discrimination to depression.

“I learned a lot about standing up with other people and that other people are willing to stand up with you,” said freshman Annalisa Cinkay.

The theme of the day, repeated in occasional chants, was to “stand up and speak out.”

Students were encouraged to be leaders and

to step in to stop bullying by others instead of being a silent bystander.

“I think it is actually helping us become leaders and helping us improve the way we act, becoming more open to new things and meeting new people,” said sophomore Mary Brosnan.

Some who began the day ambivalent about the workshop said that they were pleasantly surprised and found it worthwhile.

“I think I’ve learned a lot and improved my leadership skills,” said sophomore Elina Kunickas. “I came in here kind of skeptical, not knowing what it was, but I met some people and it’s been fun.”

The workshop had its roots in discussions administrators had with a group of activist students late last year, following controversies over racist graffiti being found in a girls bathroom and a decision not to rehire a popular teacher.

Ironically, at the same time the workshop was going on, a girl in another part of the building confessed to writing the racist graffiti in a bid to gain attention.

The workshop was put on by a Chicagobased company named, ironically, Bulldog Solution. The company has no connection to RBHS, and was paid $6,000.

The money came from a grant, RBHS Principal Kristin Smetana said. The RBHS Parent Teacher Organization also contributed $500 to defray costs.

One of the students who was involved in the discussions with administrators last year

said she liked the workshop.

“I thought it was interesting to see that RB is taking steps to, you know, eliminate intolerance and hate speech,” said senior Tosi Olowu. “I actually learned that we’re not really different.”

But not everyone thought the workshop went far enough.

“I thought it was a great start for further addressing social issues at school, but I do wish it kind of blatantly called out some of the issues we’re facing right now, like racism,” said senior Casey Whisler. “I want more direct addressing of issues instead of using bullying as a vague term.”

Assistant principals Dave Mannon and Kylie Lindquist played the largest roles in hiring the firm and organizing the day.

Mannon said he hoped the workshop empowers students to speak up about issues and be proactive in connecting with students who might not otherwise be involved in school life.

Mannon has been having regular meetings, about once a month, with student leaders this year to listen students’ concerns.

“This isn’t going to stop here,” Mannon said. “It’s a continuing discussion.”

As the workshop came to an end, Lindquist and Smetana addressed the students. Smetana encouraged students to come to the administration with ideas as to how to improve the school.

“We want to empower you,” Smetana said.

“This is your school. We want to make sure you have the best experience possible.”

Brookfield postpones train station area project Bids for work at Prairie Ave. crossing come in high

By BOB UPHUES Editor

A grant-funded project to make repairs to the Prairie Avenue train station in downtown Brookfield and improvements to crosswalks on both sides of the grade crossing will be postponed until at least next spring.

Brookfield village trustees put the brakes on the project by voting on Oct. 9 to reject all three bids for the work after proposals came in above budget.

Hitchcock Design Group, the firm engaged by the village to design the improvements, had estimated that the project would cost about $395,800 to complete. However, bids opened in mid-September ranged from almost $420,900 to $444,500, between 6 and 12 percent over estimates.

Village Manager Keith Sbiral recommended that trustees reject the bids and seek new bids in early 2018 when officials hope contractors will be more competitive with regard to pricing.

“A lot of the contractors are relatively busy right now, and we don’t think the bids were quite in line with what we thought the engineers’ estimates were,” Sbiral said.

“We think that we’ll get favorable bids first thing in the year.”

If it turns out that contractors come in with similar bids in early 2018, Sbiral said his staff would like more time to find out if the amount of grant funding for the project can be increased.

The majority of the work will be funded through a pair of grants totaling $230,000 awarded to Brookfield by the West Suburban Mass Transit District.

“We’ve gone back to WSMTD and are requesting a full … match of what the project actually costs, so we don’t have to scale back any of the alternatives and only do a portion of the project,” Sbiral said.

“We’re moving forward with the idea we may need additional funding.”

Earlier this year, Brookfield officials laid out the scope of the improvements

for the area in and around the downtown train station. While the project includes routine station maintenance, including tuck pointing and pouring new concrete on the north side of the station to eliminate trip hazards, the improvements are also in line with the village’s “complete streets” policy, which addresses pedestrian and bike traffic.

Other improvements call for brick paver sidewalks on corners immediately adjacent to the train right-of-way, curb bump outs to reduce the length of crosswalks, the installation of high-visibility crosswalks, construction of a brick pedestrian refuge in the center of Brookfield Avenue east of Prairie Avenue, and ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps at corners.

The plan also calls for installation of bike racks, planters and trash/recycling receptacles.

If the village accepts a bid in early 2018, construction would start next spring, Sbiral said.

It’s Your Money

By Linda Sokol Francis. E.A.

TOP TEN ADOPTION TAX CREDIT FACTS TO CONSIDER Taxpayers who have adopted or tried to adopt a child in 2017 may qualify for a tax credit

The Credit: The credit is nonrefundable, which may reduce taxes owed to zero. If the credit exceeds the tax owed, there is no refund of the additional amount. The maximum adoption tax credit and exclusion for 2016 was $13,460 per child.

Credit Carryover: If the credit exceeds the tax owed, taxpayers can carry any unused credit forward. For example, the unused credit in 2017 can reduce taxes for 2018. Use this method for up to five years or until the credit is fully used, whichever comes first.

Eligible Child: An eligible child is an individual under age 18 or a person who is physically or mentally unable to care for themselves.

Qualified Expenses: Adoption expenses must be reasonable, necessary and directly related to the adoption of the child. Types of expenses may include adoption fees, court costs, attorney fees and travel.

Domestic or Foreign Adoptions: Taxpayers can usually claim the credit whether the adoption is domestic or foreign.

Special Needs Child: A special rule may apply if the adoption is of an eligible U.S. child with special needs. Under this special rule, taxpayers can claim the tax credit, even if qualified adoption expenses were not paid.

No Double Benefit: In some instances both the tax credit and the exclusion may be claimed but not for the same expenses.

Income Limits: The credit and exclusion are subject to income limitations. These may reduce or eliminate the claimable amount.

IRS Form: File Form 8839, Qualified Adoption Expenses, with Form 1040.

RETIREMENT

the following Monday.

Like many of the security guards, Niemann gravitated toward finding a job as a police officer, landing a position with the Indian Head Park Police Department at the age of 22 in 1984.

A year later, he tested for a spot in North Riverside and found himself No. 2 on the village’s hiring list. He was hired in June 1985, one of seven new officers hired.

From there, Niemann worked his way up through the ranks, saying he enjoyed the “team” aspect of policing.

“I feel throughout my career, I was fortunate in that I could rely on the teamwork part of it,” said Niemann. “There was never a situation where I didn’t feel like I didn’t have everyone behind me. Hopefully, other officers felt as comfortable with me as I was with them.”

Hermanek credited Niemann’s “handson” style as a key to his success as a chief.

“He had an open-door policy for the most junior officers on up, and he got along well with residents, the board and administration. He was such a hands-on leader as chief, such a good communicator and a good person. That made a big difference, morale-wise.”

Niemann said while he’s retiring from the North Riverside Police Department, he’s polishing his resume and will find work somewhere else, though what that’s going to look like is unclear.

In the past, Niemann has worked as an adjunct faculty member at local community colleges, teaching law enforcement classes, a job he enjoyed.

But Niemann said he’s also not ruling out another position in law enforcement. It’s not uncommon for retired command staff and chiefs to find top jobs in other departments.

Eugene Karczewski spent more than a decade as police chief in Riverside after retiring from the Chicago Police Department.

And, Riverside Deputy Chief John Krull retired in 2013 after 25 years there to become police chief in Olympia Fields.

“That is somewhat interesting to me,” Niemann said.

Niemann said he and his wife, Laura, will remain in the Chicago suburbs, close to their four adult daughters, all of whom are teachers, and their seven grandchildren.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute in North Riverside,” Niemann said. “I’ll miss the guys, the residents and the community.”

Forest and Ogden avenues was shut down on two separate occasions due to flooding at the railroad overpass, from about 1 to 3 p.m. on Oct. 14 and again from about 8:45 p.m. on Oct. 14 until about 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 15.

A section of the 100 block of Fairbank Road in Riverside also had standing water for hours on Sunday, as water gushed from a manhole just south of the street at the low point of that street.

According to the National Weather Service, the Des Plaines River swelled from about 2.5 feet at 9 a.m. on Oct. 14 until it crested at 8.58 feet about 24 hours later.

The river level stayed below the major flood-stage level in Riverside, which is 9 feet, but the Oct. 15 crest was the eighth-highest ever recorded at Riverside, according to National Weather Service records.

For the second time this year, water from the Des Plaines inundated Swan Pond Park.

The first inundation was in late July, which delayed the planting of 10,000 plants that were intended to be the first phase of a multiyear effort to create a sustainable wetlands area in the low area of Swan Pond Park.

Public works employees and volunteers planted the plants in mid-August and officials hoped flood waters would stay away as the small plants established themselves. It’s unclear whether last weekend’s flood, which ensures the plants will be submerged for several more days, will kill the plants.

“The longer the plants are underwater, the higher the likelihood of mortality from suffocation,” Riverside Public Works Director Edward Bailey wrote in an email sent to village officials on Monday. “It seems the river level will be down by midweek to a point where Swan Pond can drain, so hopefully the plantings can hang in there for these few days. Only time will tell.”

The Des Plaines River crept into rear yards along Maplewood Road and West Avenue but did not reach residences. The river also flooded large sections of Indian Gardens and around the Scout Cabin. A Riverside Woman’s Charity fundraiser, scheduled for Oct. 14 at the Scout Cabin, was washed out, as was a gala fundraiser at the Riverside Arts Center. The gala has been rescheduled for Oct. 21.

In Brookfield, Salt Creek also rose rapidly throughout Saturday and by Sunday morning, the creek crested just an inch or two below the underside of the Washington Avenue bridge.

However, the new pump station succeeded in keeping the storm sewer from overflowing into the 3500 block of Forest Avenue, although the owners of at least two homes on that block could be seen pumping water from their basements on Sunday morning.

While streets in various spots in Brookfield experienced temporary flooding, Salt Creek overflowed its banks in the vicinity of

Southview and Arden avenues in the South Hollywood section, shutting down that area.

The flooding also closed off the Cech Terrace subdivision of Lyons, at Southview Avenue and Circle Drive, to vehicular traffic. The Lyons Fire Department was able to pump water from the area for a time, courtesy of a 1,250-per-gallon pump, loaned by the Cook County Department of Homeland Security, but once the creek overflowed early Sunday morning, pumping became fruitless.

“Now we just have to let it settle,” Brookfield Fire Chief Patrick Lenzi said that morning.

North Riverside also experienced sporadic pooling of water in streets due to surcharging sewers, and there were scattered reports of basement flooding.

“I thought we performed OK,” said Public Works Director Tim Kutt. “We were charged, but flowing. There was the occasional street with water on it, but 10 minutes later they were clear. It was on and off, more during the afternoon and evening [of Oct. 14].”

And while many people have moved from Riverside Lawn, in the unincorporated section of Riverside Township south of the Des Plaines River, those who remained were left to deal with the flooding that’s become common in the past decade during large rain events.

Flooding extended into the 3800 blocks of both Stanley and Gladstone avenues, with many homes surrounded by water.

Hands-on leader from page 1 mentor and role model.”

“I think he’s taken us down a great path,” said Garcia. “We’ve come a long way in four and a half years.”

Niemann’s retirement will spark a series of promotions within the ranks. Hermanek said he’ll allow Garcia, who served as a patrol officer, detective and lieutenant before her promotion to deputy chief in 2013, to pick her own command staff.

For someone who spent more than three decades in law enforcement, you’d think that Niemann, 56, always had his sights set on becoming a police officer. But that wasn’t the case; law enforcement found him.

In 1980, Niemann was working as a proofreader for a mail order company and going to night school, thinking he’d go to law school and become an attorney. But the mail order company was purchased by another firm, which laid off 3,000 employees, Niemann among them.

Living on the south end of Cicero with his wife and first child, Niemann’s plans were thrown for a loop.

“I was panicking,” he said.

Not long after, during a visit to the North Riverside Park Mall, Niemann met a classmate, who was working as a mall security guard. When told they were hiring, Niemann applied on a Friday and was hired

FLOOD

9.8 inches of rain from page 1 to streets, parks and basements throughout Brookfield, Riverside and North Riverside.

And based on official rain totals reported by the National Weather Service in Burr Ridge and by one local resident who has a weather station at his residence, it appears areas in the west and southwest suburbs received heavier rainfall than totals reported at either airport.

The National Weather Service reported that the two-day rainfall in Burr Ridge was 9.3 inches, while Allen Goodcase’s weather station at his home on the south end of Brookfield registered 9.8 inches of rain between 3 a.m. on Oct. 14 and 6:45 a.m. on Oct. 15.

“It’s important to note that, due to the nature of storm cells, this was the measurement here near Ehlert Park,” said Goodcase, who operates a technology company. “Other areas around town, say a mile or even blocks north, could have different readings. … The concentration of cells occurred in a relatively narrow band.”

The amount of rain overwhelmed local sewer systems, causing brief flooding on residential streets. First Avenue between

THE LANDMARK VIEW

Addressing race head-on

A

couple of weeks ago, the administration at Riverside-Brookfield High School in the wake of meetings with student activists late in the last school year held a leadership workshop. The initial concerns centered on the non-renewal of a popular teacher, who apparently made officials uncomfortable because she openly offered opinions on politics, social justice and other topics that made officials uneasy.

The workshop included team-building exercises and discussions about subjects tied to anti-bullying efforts and making the school a more inclusive place. It was a good initial step. But it won’t be enough.

A few miles northeast in Oak Park, the high school district is in an uproar in the wake of a picture of a white student in blackface, suggesting he run for office in a student-run black leadership group. The student shared the photo, which he said was a joke, to personal contacts on Snapchat. It didn’t stay personal.

The photo eventually made its way around Facebook. A teacher at that school, in an effort to draw attention to incidents of ongoing, casual racism at the school, shared the photo on Facebook. The teacher is a man who has been cultivating a larger public presence in the past year, speaking out on social justice issues, particularly pertaining to race. He’s presently passing petitions to run for the U.S. Congress.

So his social media reach was far greater than your average teacher, and the fallout from the blackface photo threw the school community into turmoil. The school suspended both the student, for posting the photo in the first place, and the teacher, for violating the district’s social media policy.

Oak Park is a community that prides itself on recognizing diversity and its reputation as a progressive community when it comes to integration. But racism is deep seated, and black high school students at OPRF have complained for years that racist incidents keep occurring.

This latest incident is a deep wound and will take some serious triage to heal.

Riverside-Brookfield High School’s student body is as diverse as it has ever been. The number of Latino students continues to grow, and the district’s black population is not insignificant.

The school district in recent years has established such programs as “character counts” and late last year held a “Positivity Day” event in the wake of racist graffiti being found in a girls’ bathroom at the school.

The early October leadership/anti-bullying workshop was another look at the issues that face RBHS, and students who attended – 275 in all -- seemed to benefit from it.

But, as one student leader stated afterward, it’s not enough.

The issue of race in this country and the casual racism baked into American society is not going to go away, no matter how many Positivity Days and anti-bullying workshops you hold.

Addressing the issue of race head-on is something institutions seem to want to avoid, even when the issue keeps bubbling to the surface as a problem. Oak Park, again, is considered ahead of the curve when it comes to dealing with race. And yet, Oak Park’s high school administrators are now trying to work through the significant harm an instance of casual racism has caused.

Avoiding the subject of race won’t make issues related to it go away.

Opinion KOSEY CORNER

Domestic violence forum slated Oct. 24

D

omestic violence exists everywhere and can affect anyone.

At a forum on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at the North Riverside Village Commons, 2401 Desplaines Ave. in North Riverside, it will be the subject of a discussion from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

The idea for such a forum was first brought forth by members of St. Mary Parish, along with the Covenant of Churches, to heighten the awareness of domestic violence. The program will feature speakers with expertise on the subject, and it will deal with a range issues, from legal aspects to agencies who give support and aid.

It will attempt to answer why those involved in a domestic violence situations choose to stay and how people can help those in need.

Speakers scheduled for the forum include the Rev. Charles Dahm O.P., Archdiocese of Chicago Domestic Violence Outreach; Miriam Ramirez R.N., McNeal Hospital trauma coordinator, Dr. Kathleen Detwiler, a physician; and Angelica Lopez, attorney with the Domestic Violence Legal Clinic.

The intention of the program is not only for those who are victims of domestic violence, but also for those who may know of someone who is having trouble. The

problem is not isolated to any particular group of people, and police departments often report that a great number of calls involve some type of domestic disturbance.

We never know what goes on behind closed doors.

The format for the evening will consist of opening remarks and short presentations by the speakers, which will be facilitated by Ellen Hamilton, a member of the Covenant of Churches. There will be time for questions from those in attendance.

According to Mary McGillicuddy from St. Mary’s, support for program has come from not only of the Covenant of Churches, but community members and more than 40 groups which have signed on as sponsors.

This is an opportunity to learn more about the subject and, if we know of a situation, how we should respond and not to look away too. Many times we have read about the result of domestic violence when it was too late.

For convenience the Commons has ample parking, is handicapped accessible and Spanish translation. For further information contact: dv@stmaryriverside.org.

Don’t look away. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

LETTERS

Veterans’ stories need to be remembered Thank you for the wonderful articles about the Gold Star Memorial at Guthrie Park in your recent edition of the Landmark. I especially liked how you showcased Tom Sisulak’s efforts at revitalizing the memorial. Tom Sisulak, aka Coach Sisulak, is a living treasure in Riverside, and we at American Legion Post 488 are so very proud of him.

I also appreciated how you showcased the lives of Rev. Hedley Cooper, Sgt. James P, Quinn, and Pvt. Albert E. Moore. Their lives were important from a world war (World War I) that many do not remember today.

Plaques commemorating people are all over Cook County, just like the ones located in Guthrie Park or in Township Hall. But do these plaques really tell the stories about the people behind them? Do we really know what they sacrificed in their lives and very often in their deaths?

You told their stories just like military memorial plaques do at U.S. military installations around the world. Thank you for telling the stories that needed to be told, which is one of the reasons Post #488 applied for the 100 Cities/100 Memorials grant this past summer -- to encourage a conversation in the community about

mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security and, most of all, a continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.

Another reason why American Legion Post 488 applied for the grant was because comments were made by leaders in the community that veterans’ issues were not being addressed nor were their stories being told.

I specifically recall comments made to me at a summer meeting of the Riverside Township Board of Trustees almost three years ago, that veterans were upset that their voices were not being heard.

Well, when Post 488 and the village of Riverside (it is a collaborative effort) won the grant, we all began a process to hear the voices of veterans from the past, veterans from the present, and veterans in the future.

All their stories need to be told and what better way than one at a time. The Gold Star Memorial is a place where people can come to tell those stories, not just on Veterans Days or Memorial Day, but every day.

American Legion Post 488 will continue to work with community leaders to restore the Gold Star Memorial.

In the words of Village President Sells, it is truly “a sacred place.”

Bulldogs blanked by Morton Despite loss, RBHS believes match offered perfect postseason preparation

BY SCOTTY GRUSZKA

T

Contributing Reporter

he Riverside-Brookfield High School boys soccer team capped off the regular season with a 3-0 loss against host Morton on Friday, Oct.13 in Berwyn. The Bulldogs held off a potent Morton attack for most of the match, but in the end fell to one of the top teams in the state.

“We played like a team and supported each other,” RBHS coach Ivek Halic said.

“There were a couple mistakes and some things to improve on, but overall I was very happy with the team and their progress.”

Entering Friday night’s clash against Morton, the Bulldogs had lost their previous four matches.

Entering October, RBHS had a .500 record but this month has been difficult. With IVEK HALIC the state playoffs RBHS coach starting this week, the Bulldogs struggled towards the end of the regular season.

RBHS looked solid in the early going against Morton, displaying a solid defensive wall against a very strong Mustangs’ attack.

Although Morton held the majority of the possession during the first 10 minutes, Axel Martell, Ixtian Garcia, and the rest of the Bulldogs’ defense made several stellar stops.

Morton appeared to be trying everything from dribbling through the defense to lobbing it over to cutting through balls but RBHS held strong.

In a five-minute stretch from the 15th to the 20th minute, the Bulldogs maintained possession in the Morton third of the field.

The biggest threat in that span came from a push down the right sideline by the Bulldogs’ Anthony Smith, but ultimately the ball was cleared away.

The 30th minute brought the first goal of the match courtesy of a cutting through ball that finally broke through the stalwart RBHS defense. The ball went to the feet of a Morton forward who was able to slip it past the RBHS goalkeeper Daniel Sessler.

“We played like a team and supported each other.”

Considering the prolific play from Morton, the Bulldogs did a great job of holding their own and trailing just 1-0 at halftime.

The second half began with RBHS holding possession. Senior midfielder/captain Juan Quiroz won a free kick on Morton’s half of the field. Quiroz swung the ball into the box but it was cleared away which led to a Morton breakaway that was stopped short thanks to the efforts of Michael Pitts.

The Bulldogs continued to have chances

throughout the second half. Their most threatening play came via a through ball from Eduardo Carrillo to Smith, who was again flying down the right sideline. Their best scoring chance so far though was stopped by the Morton defense, which then proceeded to hold possession for the next 10 minutes.

Going into the final five minutes of the match, the Mustangs still only held a tenuous one goal lead over the Bulldogs. At the 76th minute, Morton stood over a corner

kick, which led to a goal when a Morton player headed the ball into the back of the net for their second goal of the match.

The game ended with another Morton corner-kick goal with only 30 seconds left in the match. The Bulldogs looked exhausted from giving it their all against Morton.

The final score certainly didn’t reflect the overall effort and ability put on display by the Bulldogs.

Quiroz, an RBHS senior captain viewed the game as a “simulation” for the upcoming state playoffs.

“We just need to look at this game and see how we performed based on our competition,” Quiroz said. “I think we’re looking pretty good.”

Halic agreed that talking on a perennial state contender Morton right before the playoffs provides an ideal tune up match “Morton is one of the best teams in the state,” Halic said. “We schedule them at the very end (of the regular season) to get us prepared for the state playoffs.”

RBHS girls swimming gears up for postseason Bulldogs place second at Stagg Invite, winning 100 breast, 50 free

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

The Riverside-Brookfield High School girls swimming team has fared well at invites all season. The Stagg Invitational on Friday, Oct. 13 served as no exception as the Bulldogs scored 281 points to finish second.

Lockport (321) won the invite and Homewood-Flossmoor placed third (231).

In individual events, freshman Madeline Wenig won the 100-yard breaststroke in 1 minute, 8.31 seconds and took second in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:12.91.

Claire Kawiecki also recorded a first-place finish by winning the 50-yard freestyle at 26.37. Teammate Veronica Cariveau came in second, touching the wall at 26.48. Cariveau also finished second in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 57.32.

Other notable results in the individual events included Kawiecki (100-yard butterfly/4th place; 1:04.06), Chloe Marello (500-yard freestyle/3rd place; 5:40.15) and Alyssa Schwarz (100-yard backstroke/3rd; 1:05.76).

In the relays, the Bulldogs’ team of Schwarz, Wenig, Cariveau and Kawiecki re-

In the final race of the day, the same quartet earned second in the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 3:55.54.

Other results this month include a secondplace showing at the Andrew Invite (Oct. 7), a 95-75 win over Lemont (Oct. 5) and a 13243 loss against visiting Oak Park and River

Forest (Oct. 3).

At Andrew, Cariveau won the 50 free and 100 free races and also swam a leg of the Bulldogs’ victorious 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams. Sarah Strubbe, Wenig and Kawiecki comprised the rest of the 200 medley; Wenig, Kawiekci and Marello rounded out the 400 free relay.

Wenig won the 100 breast and took second in the 200 IM, while Marello notched a pair of runner-up performances in the 200 free and 500 free. Other contributors included Kawiecki (100 butterfly/2nd place; 50 free/4th), Strubbe (100 backstroke/3rd; 200 IM/6th) and Autumn Schwer (100 free/3rd).

Against Lemont, Marello (200, 500 free) and Kawiecki (100 fly, 100 breast) won two events apiece, while Cariveau and Wenig took home the 100 free and 100 back titles home, respectively.

RBHS struggled against OPRF in a nonconference dual meet, with Wenig as the lone winner in the 100 free.

RBHS football edges St. Edward TD catch in final minute, running game secure win

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

With the exception of a humbling 45-0 loss against Immaculate Conception, the Riverside-Brookfield High School football team essentially has dominated its Metro Suburban Conference opponents this season.

That is until St. Edward clashed with the Bulldogs on Oct. 13 in Elgin. Leading by two touchdowns after the first quarter, the Green Wave appeared poised for an upset before RBHS rallied for a 21-14 win.

“It is encouraging to know that our kids are able to respond to adversity throughout the course of a game,” RBHS coach Brendan Curtin said. “It seems like each week different players are stepping up at different times of the game to make plays.”

Tied at 14-14 with 49 seconds left in regulation against St. Edward, RBHS quarterback Hunter Hughes threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Zach Vaia to cap off a 21-14 victory.

“It was a naked bootleg, play-action pass with Hughes,” Curtin said about the game-winning TD. “While rolling to his left, Hughes found Zach Vaia running a backside post alone in the end zone. It was firstand 10 from their 25-yard line and we had two timeouts left, so we felt we could be a little aggressive in that situation.”

St. Edward (4-4, 1-3 Metro Suburban) set the tone

early when quarterback David Mlinarich tossed a 60yard touchdown pass to Tyler Holter on the first play from scrimmage, giving the Green Wave a 7-0 lead.

Dave Madden added a 1-yard TD run in the final minute of the first quarter, extending St. Edward’s advantage to 14-0.

The Bulldogs scored their first TD in the second quarter to make the score 14-7 at halftime.

After Madden missed a field goal attempt midway through the third quarter, RBHS senior running back Nicolas Del Nodal raced 75 yards into the end zone to pull the Bulldogs even at 14-14.

Hughes completed 14 of 21 passes for 182 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. Del Nodal rushed 21 times for 193 yards and two TDs. Defensively, Anthony Walsh led RBHS with nine tackles. On special teams, kicker Colin Riordan converted all three extra-point attempts.

RBHS senior Stefan Giminski contributed on both sides of the ball, with seven catches for 100 yards as a wide receiver, two tackles and five pass breakups as a cornerback, and a 42-yard average on four punts as the team’s punter.

RBHS (7-1, 3-1) hosts Glenbard South on Friday, Oct. 20 in the regular-season finale. Game time is 7:15 p.m. at the Kennelly Athletic Complex in Brookfield.“We are looking forward to ending the regular season on a high note at our home stadium after two road games,” Curtin said.
