Busse Residents Oppose Major ChangesBy RICHARD MAYERAssistant Managing Editor

A Mount Prospect couplehas organized a petition toblock certain improvementsfrom being made along BusseRoad between Golf and Centralroads.

Mary and Larry Romano,who have collected over 100signatures, were two of theapproximate 130 in attendancefor a Cook County open houseat the village's Emergency Op-erations Center last Thursday,Sept. 14.

They advocated against

any significant improvementsbeing made to that stretch ofBusse, a two-lane road, infuture years.

The Romanos, who live onBusse Road, say do not wantthe street turned into a "mainstreet. They believe proposedplans are of no benefit to BusseRoad residents, adding that anysignificant work will ruin the"pristine golf course neighbor-hood."

Cook County, which main-tains that stretch of Busse, isinitiating a Phase I Engineer-ing Study to determine anynecessary road improvements

to make.The study will consider re-

placement or improvement ofthings such as pavement, trafficsignals, structures, drainagesystems, sidewalks, multi -usepaths and streetlights.

It will also look at includingdesign elements to accom-modate future enhancementopportunities while improvingsafety.

One idea is to add a center leftturn lane for motorists to accessresidential streets or privatedriveways located along theroadway.

Another idea is to turn that

stretch of Busse into fourlanes.

The county is consideringinstalling a stoplight at Lon-nquist Boulevard and BusseRoad where a flashing beaconoperates to assist pedestrianscrossing the road to and fromClearwater Park.

Another possibility is contin-uous street lighting along Busseand additional sidewalks.

According to the county, be-tween 14,000-17,000 vehiclesuse that stretch of Busse Roaddaily. By 2040, they project15,000-18,000 vehicles daily.

2 Charged With Attempted Robbery, MoreJournal Staff Report

Mount Prospect police havecharged two suspects in con-nection with a recent robberythat resulted in the victim beingdragged by a moving vehicle.

Police charged Thomas M.Nowakowski, 25, and Kyra San-tiago, 24, both of 16 Timber Ter-race, Cary, in the strong armedrobbery that occurred Aug. 17in the parking lot of Walmart atMount Prospect Plaza.

Nowakowski and Santiagowere charged Sept. 14 each

with one felony count of at-tempted robbery, one felonycount of aggravated battery andone felony count of failure tostop after having been involvedin an accident involving per-sonal injury.

They were also each chargedwith one felony count of theftfrom an offense that occurredAug. 16 in the parking lot ofAldi, 1000 Mount ProspectPlaza. Nowakowski allegedlystole a purse from a shoppingcart and Santiago allegedlyacted as the getaway driver.

Officers at 8:34 a.m. Aug. 17responded to the parking lotof Walmart for the report of astrong armed robbery that hadjust occurred. A 46 -year -oldvictim's purse was taken outof her shopping cart by a maleoffender, who police identifiedas Nowakowski, while thewoman's back was turned andshe was loading groceries intoher vehicle.

The victim attempted torecover her purse from Nowa-kowski after he had allegedlyfled to a waiting vehicle. The

driver of the vehicle, later iden-tified by police as Santiago,sped through the parking lotwhile the victim was holdingonto her purse.

Police said Nowakowskireleased the purse, causingthe victim to be thrown to theground. The victim sufferednon -life threatening injuries.

Investigators were able toidentify both Nowakowski andSantiago as suspects throughlicense plate information on thegetaway vehicle, police said.

Bond was set for both sus -

Santiago Nowakowskl

pects at $100,000. Their nextcourt date in Rolling Meadowsis scheduled for 10:30 a.m.Oct. 6.

Busse Road(Continued from page 1A)

Another statistic providedby the county says 190 crashesand 81 injuries occurred alongthe roadway from 2011-15.

The Romanos and others onthe petition are not against astoplight being installed. Theysay a center turn lane mighthelp, but they're skeptical thattraffic flow would improve.They also say a four -laneroad is unacceptable becauseit could turn Busse Road intoa main street and result in thespeed limit being increasedfrom the 35 mph it is today.

The Romanos' petitionstates trucks and cars alreadytravel 50 mph down Busse andpolice do not look for thoseinfractions enough.

They believe the road isalready unsafe for children.Also, many residents havesaid their mailboxes havebeen knocked down by carsin addition to cars going upon lawns.

They pointed out that thereare several handicapped andsenior residents living alongBusse who are either hearingor sight impaired and havelimited mobility.

They are also worried aboutnoise and air pollution. Theybelieve with more traffic gen-erated by possible improve-ments, they will not be ableto keep their windows openat night.

Mary Romano said a similarplan was introduced approxi-mately 15 years ago. It wasdetermined at that time to bean unsafe plan for residents,so it was nixed.

"We are requesting thisplan to be stopped again,"she said.

The Romanos and those whosupport their petition wantBusse Road to remain thesame width and not containa four -lane or a center laneconfiguration. They do believea turn lane on Lonnquist for

or sidewalks installed sincethey consider the area a "pri-vate golf course community"and they want it to remainthat way.

Additionally, they do notwant street lights installedbecause they believe doing sowill attract more trucks.

They are against a bike pathas well as storm drains. Theyclaim ditches have workedwell to avoid flooding and

would agree to clean up theditches instead.

In the end, the Romanosand their supporters believechanges the county is suggest-ing will raise property taxes tocover the cost of the work, andat the same time decrease thevalue of their homes.

According to Cook CountySupt. of Transportation &Highways John Yonan, theroad needs to be rebuilt sinceit has to come to the end of itslife and design standards have

changed from years ago.Yonan said design approval

should be completed in thenext 12-14 months with thedesign -engineering phase tobe completed 12-16 monthsafter that. He doesn't foreseeany work to begin until 2020at the earliest. Work wouldlikely take two constructionseasons to finish.

Another public meetingwill be scheduled in 2018for citizens to provide morefeedback.

Widower, Mt. ProspectContinue To ExchangeInformation In LawsuitBy RICHARD MAYERAssistant Managing Editor

Abrief hearing was held Sept.13 over the ongoing lawsuitbetween the village of MountProspect and resident EricJakubowski, whose wife wasfatally struck by a vehicle whileshe was trying to cross CentralRoad in June 2016.

According to Jakubowski'sattorney John Cichon, a judgegave both sides until Oct. 4 toexchange all information anddocuments needed to moveforward.

Both sides are expected backin court Oct. 12 at the DaleyCenter in Chicago.

"We are just in an exchangeinformation period," Cichonsaid. "Once that is complete,we will most likely proceedwith depositions."

Cichon said he has a list ofmore than 10 people he plans tohave testify, should the mattereventually go to trial.

toyolamedicane,org

He said there is always achance for settlement, but thatwould have to be initiated bythe village and its engineeringcompany Ciorba Group.

"If everyone is willing to sitdown, we would certainly con-sider a settlement, but that hasnot happened," Cichon said.

Ciorba and the village aredefendants in a lawsuit filed byJakubowski who believes bothare responsible for the death ofhis wife - Joni Beaudry - inaddition to the driver of thevehicle.

However, the driver is notpart of this suit since Jakubows-ki earlier this year settled withher insurance company for$50,000.

The lawsuit claims Ciorbaand the village were respon-sible to ensure the safety ofpedestrians and bicyclists atthe crossing before and afterthey installed rectangular rapidflashing beacon signs on bothsides of Central.

City ApprovesTheater OfferBy TODD WESSELLJournal & Topics Editor

Aldermen quickly and without dis-cussion Monday night approved theamount of a bona fide offer to purchasethe downtown Des Plaines Theaterproperty.

The offer will soon be delivered to thecurrent owner of the theater, business-man Dhitu Bhagwakar. City ManagerMike Bartholomew said that offer willlikely include a deadline for Bhagwa-kar's response.

For the last year, the city has beenstrongly considering purchasing the92 -year -old theater after Mayor MattBogusz disclosed that Rivers Casino waswilling to contribute $2 million towardits purchase and renovation and another$50,000 annually to pay for operations.The city would provide another $2 mil-lion for the purchase and renovation.

A private company would be hired to

run the theater and schedule live stageshows. Bogusz has said that the city'spurchase of the theater is an importantpart in establishing a downtown DesPlaines Restaurant District. The planis for theater -goers to dine downtownbefore or after a performance. Thecity has set up a program where it willprovide substantial cash incentives toattract new restaurants.

In approving the offer, the city has notdisclosed the amount nor has it revealedthe details of an appraisal it had doneon the prime property at Miner and Leestreets. Bhagwakar told the Journal &Topics months ago that his appraisalsays the property is worth more than$2 million.

If Bhagwakar does not accept DesPlaines' "final, bona fide" offer, thecity has the option of filing an eminentdomain lawsuit to forcibly acquire thebuilding. That, however, could takemonths or years to resolve.

Red Light Cameras UpFor Discussion In DPRand & Golf May Be Switched Off; Support For Touhy-MP

By TODD WESSELLJournal & Topics Editor

It was apparent duringMonday night's Des PlainesCity Council discussion onwhether or not to keep the RedLight cameras in operationat Golf and Rand roads thatsome aldermen like the devicesand will consider installing asecond camera at Touhy andMount Prospect roads.

Aldermen agreed to a pro-posal of Ald. Carla Brook -man's (5th) to have a city trafficcommittee study the possibilityof replacing the Golf and RandRed Light cameras with a "NoRight Turn On Red Light" signfor traffic heading east andwest on Golf.

For the last seven years, theRed Light cameras at Golf andRand have been operational.Des Plaines aldermen in 2010

permitted the installation ofthe cameras, officials said, toreduce the number of trafficaccidents and injuries therecaused by motorists failing tostop when making a right turnoff of Golf onto Rand. Videosand photographs of the licenseplates are automatically takenby the Red Light devices whena vehicle fails to properly stop.After the photos are looked atby Red Light and police per-sonnel, a determination is madewhether the owner of the carshould be issued a $100 ticket.In most cases, fines are notlevied for a variety of reasons,including the fact that some ofthe vehicles are police cars orfire trucks.

There were and still areopponents of the Red Lights,with many arguing that theirmain purpose is not to enhancetraffic safety but to generate

income for the city. Des Plainespolice records show that thecity has received more than$3.7 million from the RedLight program since 2010.

Ald. Brookman said Mondaynight if traffic safety is the mainreason for the cameras at Golfand Rand, the solution wouldbe to install "No Right Turn OnRed Light" signs. She calledthe Rand -Golf intersection"unique" because drivers haveto strain to look left and rightto see if there is an oncomingvehicle.

At about that time during thediscussion, Ald. Mike Chare-wicz (8th) said he supports theidea of the city consideringinstallation of a Red Lightcamera at Touhy and MountProspect roads where trafficmishaps are relatively high.Brookman said she opposesthat idea.

"Crashes at the intersectionhave decreased 29 percent,"said Ald. Denise Rodd (3d)."That's all I have to know."

At one point, Mayor MattBogusz explained that themoney brought in by the RedLight program has avoidedraising city property taxes.

Former 7th ward aldermanNick Chiropolos, however,spoke against the Red Lightcameras saying the one at Golfand Rand should be replacedwith a "No Right Turn On RedLight" sign.

"This is like stealing moneyfrom people," said Chiropo-los. "It's a scam. This neverwould have happened on mywatch."

"I believe the main purposeof the cameras is revenue,"said former alderman JimBrookman. "I question the 29percent safety data."

State House Contest 'Heats' UpThe photograph sent to us shows an at-

tractive woman standing with what lookslike a friend.

Both are smiling and both are packing.Guns.

Grasping a pistol in her right handis Marilyn Smolenski, a wife and ParkRidge mother of two who last week an-nounced that she is a candidate to unseatincumbent State Rep. Marty Moylan(D -55th) in next fall's election. She firsthas to win the March primary contest,which is likely because no one else hasstepped forward to run in the spring andSmolenski appears to have the support ofthe Maine Township GOP organization.

According to Susan Sweeney, presi-dent of the conservative Republican Women's Clubof Park Ridge, Smolenski serves as the organiza-tion's membership chairman and has been active inthe group for the last few years. Smolenski found-ed and runs a business out of her house that sellsform fitting wear for females who want a holsterincluded in order to conceal carry a weapon. Wetried to contact Smolenski for further comment andexplanation. Our efforts were unanswered.

Off TheRecordBy ToddWessell

A Smolenski-Moylan race will likely turnout to be a no holds barred barn burner pit-ting the feisty Moylan, a former mayor andalderman of Des Plaines, against Smolens-ki, who may attract substantial support fromgun advocates. Our encounters with somegun advocates and diehard 2nd Amendmentsupporters is that they are extremely pas-sionate about their beliefs and will go to themat to protect the right to bear arms.

This race could be one for the ages. Lookfor both candidates to be well funded, Moy-Ian through state Democrats like Madiganand Smolenski through billionaire Gov.Rauner...

In about a week, Lake Park in Des Plaineswill be transformed into a place of reverence andhonor as the Wall That Heals -- a half-size replicaof the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. -- arrivesand is put on display. The event will be held fromSept. 28 to Oct. 1 and thousands of people are ex-pected to view the Wall and participate in a flurryof emotional activities.

Letter To Our Editor

Superintendent Addresses 'Difficult Decisions' In Dist. 57Editor, Journal:

At the Sept. 13 meetingof the Citizen Task Force, Ipresented information aboutpotential cuts for next schoolyear. I want to share some ofthose details with you so thatyou can be fully informed aswe move through the processof determining whether toplace a referendum on theballot.

As you know, due to fac-tors such as growing enroll-ment, rising operating costs,state and federal cuts, andunfunded mandates, Dist. 57has continued to draw downits fund balance, which is not

sustainable.That's why we are con-

sidering a referendum, toaddress our highest priorityoperating and facility main-tenance needs. As we movethrough this process, we mustalso prepare for the possibil-ity of the referendum notbeing placed on the ballot ornot being successful.

So we have appointed asmall budget deficit re-duction committee that ismade up of staff, parentsand community members.The committee is chargedwith reducing the district'sdeficit by 30%-50%, whichequates to cuts of up to $1

million (with a minimum of$600,000).

These cuts would affectstaffing and programs andwould go into effect nextschool year if the communitydoes not approve a tax refer-endum in March.

Members of the DeficitReduction Committee willhave the difficult task ofidentifying potential cuts andmaking recommendations tothe school board.

They will consider cut-ting full-time positions andinstituting larger class sizes,as well as eliminating orcutting back in several areas,including ESP staff, admin-

istration, literacy and mathsupport, elementary art andmusic, additional middleschool math minutes, bandand orchestra, and interscho-lastic and intramural sportsand clubs.

These are obviouslyextremely difficult deci-sions. We hope there will bea funding solution so thatdrastic cuts do not have tobe made, but it is impera-tive that we make financialpreparations for all possibili-ties.

I encourage you to attendone of the upcoming commu-nity forums, where admin-istration will give in-depth

presentations, and partici-pants will provide input andask questions.

The forums will be held inthe Fairview multi -purposeroom on the following days:

Thursday, Oct. 12, 7-8p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 14, 9-10a.m.

Wednesday, Oct. 18, 7-8p.m.

Thank you for stayinginformed during this criticaltime for our school district.

Public picking up tab

The Park Ridge CityCouncil is apparently pick-ing favorites for subsidies. Inrecent years it has de -fundeda number of value-addedlocal organizations like thePark Ridge Civic Orchestra,while continuing to under-write expenses, includingrent and insurance, for theweekly farmer's market outof the public purse. Whilethe market is a nice place togather on a summer Saturday,it also siphons produce busi-ness and profits directly awayfrom all local grocers. Don'tthink they haven't noticed.

Confused over sugar tax

Um, the sugar tax. I don'tunderstand what's going on. Idon't think a lot of the storesunderstand what's going tohappen. I went to buy lightapple juice at the Jewel. Itsays the sugar tax has be-gun. The regular apple juice

doesn't have a tax. The lighthas more water in it. Theydidn't add any sugar so, what-ever, it's light. Nobody knowswhere the tax is supposed tobe. If they call it the sugartax, all the baked goods likepies, cookies, candy shouldbe taxed. But they aren't. Dietcola doesn't have sugar in it,but they are going to tax that.But regular cola does. Thatdoesn't even have sugar in it.

Give retailers a boost

Every time they close downthe streets and sell alcohol,the retail shops suffer. Itdoesn't bring in any money,other than the people thatdrink alcohol and run aroundpartying. You need somethingto bring back retail business.

Residents shouldn'tbe surprised

Roger, from Buffalo Grove.I see where the village is an-ticipating the 3.5% increasein the property taxes. I don'tthink the village residentsshould be disappointed, afterall, since they won't be get-ting the 1% tax on sugarydrinks. Someone said thatthey pay for the village man-ager's compensation package,which is currently at a quarterof a million dollars a year,which includes a $20,000 bo-nus, which is something builtinto the contract. It's supposeto be a reward for perfor-mance. But somebody has topay. I think it's $300,000 bythe time the contract is overwith. So the village residentsshouldn't be surprised.

Still confusedover sugar tax

Hello. I don't know if thisis legal. I want to a local res-taurant last week and on thedoor they had the beveragecost. They've raised the bev-erage cost to $2.95. I don'tknow if the tax will be inwith the cost of the products.Then they charge the regulartax on top of that. Again, Idon't think you can pick thebeverage tax as a regularcost. Can you look into that.It's unbelievable. Bye. Bye.

Store offers support

Hello, my name is Don andI'm with the American Le-gion Post 36 in Des Plaines.I would just like to pass ona comment about the Sam'sClub in Des Plaines. It helpsthe American Legion tremen-dously. We do cookouts onSaturday at the Sam's Club.Bob donates his time. Doesall the cooking and is reallya wonderful supporter of theAmerican Legion. Thank youfor all the help you offer forAmerican Legion Post 36.Bye.

On sewer lines, leaders

Mr. Oakley if the sewerlines are private, can youplease tell the homeownersthat are charged by the city,for letting the city run waterthrough their lines? Also toall the elected people in thisgreat city, be the leaders thatyou were elected to be.

Looking forthe big picture

In response to Dist. 57debate. Facts are facts. Mak-ing broad statements aboutparking lots and benefits orsilly name calling doesn'tchange them. With fewexceptions, schools are thelargest portion of tax bills ev-erywhere. An example wouldbe Des Plaines Dist. 62 at39.55% compared to Dist.57 at 30.28%. Even with a$432 increase I would stillpay $177 less than a friend inDist. 62 whose home is val-ued $14,000 less than mine.Other fun facts: D.P. Parks4.89%, M.P. Parks 6.27%,D.P. Library 3.27%, M.P.7.25%.You're OK with pay-ing over two times more forthe library? When the villagetook $240 a year out of yourpocket for refuse fees did youeven notice? That freed upmillions of dollars a year intax money. What happened toit? Did you protest every timethe sales tax went up until itbecame one of the highest inthe country? How about therecent income tax hike, takea stand against that? Surehurts the parents of the kids

you don't want to help. I justdon't get choosing the leastwasteful (yes we know aboutthe parking lot), most helpfulinstitution to complain about.People like you will neversee the big picture. Thanksfor your help, I'm done.

Nothing to brag about

On Wednesday in the MPJournal a supporter of theDist. 57 referendum wrote insinging the praises of Dist. 57as compared to other districtsin the state. I have only onething to say: "In the land ofthe blind, the one -eyed manis king." Sorry, 57, but sayingthat you're doing so muchbetter than other Illinoisschools isn't anything to bragabout. I'm still opposed toyour grandiose schemes andtotal lack of fiscal responsi-bility. The only two thingsworse are Cook County andthe almost bankrupt State ofIllinois.

They should pay more

I'm a single person liv-ing in a home the same sizeas the retired couple next-door. While I still work (toomuch), the folks next-doorspend about 65 hours a weekmore at home than I do. Likeeveryone at home they areflushing and washing andrinsing, creating 3 or 4 timesmore sewage than I do. Theyshould be paying 3 or 4 timesmore to the Water Reclama-tion District on the tax billthan I do. It's not fair.

Don't blame it all on pop

Stop bombarding me withcommercials and obesity un-til you can explain to me whya hamburger costs a $1 and asalad costs $7 plus. It's justnot soda pop that's makingAmericans obese.

Time to repeal sugar tax

Hersey, Off To 3-1 Start, Runs Past Niles WestBy DION MARTORANOJournal & Topics Sports

Hersey is off to their beststart since 2010 with a 3-1record after dismantling a de-veloping Niles West (0-4) team43-3 Friday night in ArlingtOnHeights.

On offense, Hersey rushedfor 242 yards on just 26 carriesand 4 touchdowns. Defensivelythey enjoyed a pick -six touch-down and five sacks. On specialteams, Hersey blocked a puntreturned for a touchdown.

Niles West was held to 56yards passing, 80 yards rushingand only 136 total yards.

The Huskies quickly shutdown the Wolves offense onthe first drive and forced a punt,the first of five in the game.Hersey's offense quickly and ef-ficiently made their way downthe field to score on a 1 -yardTD run by Luke Cecala (8 car-ries, 78 yards, 2 TD) with 8:19remaining in the first quarter.

Niles West entered theirsecond drive and lost 11

yards. They went to punt, butCecala and the Huskies hadother plans. Cecala sprinted andcaught the punter as he was get-ting the kick off. The ball flewhigh in the air and back intothe end zone where Hersey'sKonstantino Mantas fell on itfor a Huskies touchdown with5:57 left in the first quarter.

Niles West marched down thefield and reached to the 1 -yardline early in the second quarter,but settled for an 18 -yard field

goal by senior Lucian Cretu.That was all the scoring theWolves would get against aconfident Huskies team.

Hersey's Caleb Augustynintercepted a pass and returnedit for a touchdown after pickingoff Niles West's Will Shem-roske at the 10 -yard line with5:19 to go in the first half.

Hersey scored three rushingtouchdowns in the first 9:29of the second half to kickstartthe running clock with a 43-3lead.

"I don't think we got ourrhythm going in the first halfand we talked a lot about that athalf," Hersey coach Joe Pardunsaid. "I think we respondedwell in the second half with ourrunning game. We made someadjustments and our offensiveline changed things up and Ithink that was the differencein the third quarter."

Owen Goldsberry led Herseywith 12 carries for 127 yards and1 TD. Kacper Rutkiewicz (2 car-ries, 32 yards, 1 TD; 2 catches,29 yards) also contributed to thescoring for the Huskies.

Niles West didn't perform theway they hoped against Hersey,but new head coach Jesse Pierceis hopeful for a turnaround. Still,he knows it won't be easy.

"There are still a lot of posi-tives," Pierce said. "Our kidsare still improving. A lot of thestuff is still fresh and new forthem that we are making mis-takes, but the mistakes are get-ting more and more correctableon both sides of the ball. They

(Hersey) are a good team andwe had had some stout competi-tion so far (Buffalo Grove andSolorio are both 4-0, Hersey is3-1, Prospect is 1-3). We havemore stout competition comingour way, so we need to keepgetting better."

Hersey, which outscored itsfirst four opponents 134-26,opens conference at 7:30 p.m.Friday at Elk Grove (0-4).Hersey beat Elk Grove 28-19last year and is on a 5 -gamewinning streak against theGrenadiers. The Huskies arelooking for their first 4-1 startsince 2004 when they opened6-1 on their way to a 7-3 overallrecord.

"It feels good, we talked aboutgetting off to a good start,"Pardun said. "We have a lot ofwork still left to do. We knowthe MSL East is always toughand well -coached. We know thegame against Elk Grove will bea good one, they are a betterteam than their record shows.We know it is tough week in andweek out in the MSL East."

Niles West, outscored 17-147by their first four opponents,travels to New Trier (2-2) at7:30 p.m. Friday. The Wolves,who are riding an 8 -game los-ing streak, fell 56-35 to NewTrier last year.

In one of the most highly an-ticipated CSL-MSL crossoversthis season, Maine South cameout on top with a 17-14 victoryover host Palatine.

Both teams played tremen-dous defense and the playmak-ing ability of players on bothteams was very evident. Eachteam turned the ball over fourtimes as a result of some greatdefensive plays.

"Our defense played theirhearts out tonight," said Pala-tine coach Corey Olson. "Thekids fought hard, we justcouldn't come up with a few keyplays when we needed to."

Maine South took their open-ing drive and drove 65 yardson 9 plays, culminating withquarterback John O'Sullivanrunning into the end zone from2 yards out on a perfectly ex-ecuted read -option fake.

The Hawks (3-1) didn't havemuch success passing the ballas O'Sullivan was 5 -of -14 for83 yards. As a result, they rodetheir workhorse running backFotis Kokosioulis who had 165yards rushing on 32 carries.

In whatturned out to be the key playof the game, holder JimmyBartell made a shovel pass toBrian Barry who got around thecorner and into the end zonejust before halftime to give theHawks a 14-7 lead.

The third quarter featuredmore spectacular defense byboth teams. Maine South droveall the way down inside thePalatine 10 -yard line whendefensive back Jake Moertlintercepted O'Sullivan and re-turned it 57 yards to the MaineSouth 42 -yard line.

Six plays later, Moertl scoredon a 4 -yard run to tie the gameat 14 with 5:50 left in the thirdquarter.

"It was definitely a bigmomentum swinger for us,"Moertl said. "We thought afterwe tied it at 14, we were goingto win the game."

Even though the Pirates de-fense intercepted O'Sullivanthree more times, the offensecould not put any more pointson the board. Maine Southkicked a 25 -yard field goal with8:30 remaining in the game tomake it 17-14 in what provedto be the game winner.

Hinnawi Sparks Leyden

Over Proviso East, 37-0By JACK GREGGSpecial to the Journal

Ata Hinnawi stepped inas tailback to replace starterGabriel Guarderas last Fridayin Maywood and sparkedLeyden to a dominating 37-0win over Proviso East in theirWest Suburban Gold divisionfootball matchup.

Hinnawi carried the ball21 times in the first half for76 yards rushing and twotouchdowns and capped a 30-0Eagles lead at the intermissionwith a 35 -yard punt returnscore. The win evened theEagles' season record at 2-2and WSG mark at 1-1.

Hinnawi and most of Ley -den's regulars sat out thesecond half as coach TomCerasani used an assortmentof bench players that managedto score another touchdown bypint-sized reserve back Sal Al-fano and maintain the shutout.Coach Tony Zitzka's first -teamdefensive unit smashed thehapless Pirates in the first half,

allowing a minus -14 yardsrushing including two sacks,and forced a fumble on the onlypass Proviso completed in theopening 24 minutes.

Down 30-0 at that point, thePirates went mainly to the airin the second half and faredonly marginally better againstZitzka's second string, whichregistered an amazing sevenmore sacks to thwart Proviso's7 of 14 pass completions for 80yards. Their rotating quarter-backs managed to escape for afew running yards in the finaltwo quarters, but the weight ofall those sacks still left themwith minus -50 yards on theground for the game.

The Eagles opened the gamewith their first extended, con-trolled march since their lonescore against Downers North(75 yards on 15 plays, Guard -eras carrying 9 times and scor-ing). This time the drive wasagain 75 yards on 14 plays withthe opening kickoff, gatheringfive first downs and using up6 minutes and 30 seconds.

Now, Hinnawi did the bulk ofthe work, carrying nine timesincluding the 1 -yard scoringplunge.

Then the Eagles resorted tothe lightning -like scoring of

their earlier games. A fumblerecovery on the Proviso 18 andHinnawi scored four plays later.The safety quickly followedafter the kickoff, and then thefree kick was returned by Hin-

nawi to the PE 38. Three playslater, Kyler Britten scored on a21 -yard burst. Another kickoff,then a sack doomed the Piratesand Hinnawi took the punt back

Niles North Rallies To Beat Elk GroveBy CHRISTIAN KALLIOSpecial to the Journal

It started as a joyful night, butended in a night of heartbreak,as Elk Grove (0-4) continuedtheir losing streak by fallingjust an extra point short to NilesNorth, 35-34.

Elk Grove came out of thegates swinging, scoring 3touchdowns on their first 3drives.

But Niles North made thingsmore interesting, scoring a pairof touchdowns in the last 5minutes of the first half.

At halftime, the Grens helda 21-14 lead, but less than a

minute into the second half,Bruno Prosper-Kanam of NilesNorth scored a 45 -yard touch-down run to tie the game at 21apiece. Elk Grove responded onthe next drive with an amazingtouchdown pass by CharlieJanczak. Elk Grove would holdthe 7 -point lead going into thefinal quarter.

Elk Grove got some insur-ance with Tyler Selvig runningin his second of 2 rushingtouchdowns on the night. But ablocked extra point would markthe beginning of Niles North'scomeback. During their nextpossession, Niles North drovethe ball 55 yards until finally,

Jonathan Negron forced the ballin from the 1 -yard line.

Elk Grove's next drive endedimproperly when a pass wasintercepted by Niles North nearthe 11 -yard line.

North had the majority of thefield to travel if they wanted totie the game with a touchdown,but on their second play ofthe drive, Bruno Prosper ofNiles North silenced the sta-dium, running 90 yards for ascore. The extra point put theVikings up for the first timethat night.

With less than 1 minute lefton the clock, Elk Grove triedto get at least within field goal

range. But their final driveended in similar fashion as theirlead, with an interception tolock the win for Niles North.

Despite giving up a 21-0lead and losing by the small-est margin, head coach MilesOsei believes Elk Grove stilltried their best. "Credit to NilesNorth, they fought hard," saidOsei. "Coming out at halftime Ithink we did some good things,did some poor things. We justneed to watch the film and learnfrom it."

"At the end of the day themost important thing is to getthe 'W', said Selvig. "I can'tthank the line enough for what

they've done for me tonight.And I think we gave it 100%,but couldn't just finish the job,and I'm sure we'll bring it tothem next week."

Conference play starts Fri-day at home against Hersey(3-1). Despite falling to thebottom of the standings, bothcoaches and players think theyhave prepared during the last4 weeks.

"I think we learned a lot aboutour team. We need to get betteras a whole team," Osei added.

Selvig added: "I think we'reready for conference after thesepast few games. I think we'repretty good for conference."

Notre Dame ShutsDown Joliet CatholicBy JEFF ZIMMERMANJournal & Topics Sports

A spectacular defensive ef-fort led Notre Dame of Nilesto their third win of the seasonin the Dons first home gamebefore an overflow crowdFriday night. Notre Damecompletely shut down JolietCatholic Academy by posting a34-0 shutout in a East SuburbanCatholic confrontation:

Joliet twice ventured intothe Dons territory before beingstopped on downs just insidethe 50. The Notre Dame de-fense for the game recorded 3sacks, I forced fumble and 1interception.

The defense led by PatrickCarden, Brendan Schnoor, ZaidKahn and Brandon Greifelt ad-opted an aggressive philosophyfor their 4-3 defense.

"You have to play the gamewith relentless pursuit," saidNotre Dame head coach MikeHennessey. "The defense hasto be moving, whether it's aphysical or a mental thing."

The Dons (3-1) offense onceagain was led by Ty Gavin.The junior played only the firsthalf, scored 4 touchdowns andracked up 150 total yards (136were on the ground)

Gavin, on the first playfor Notre Dame, set the tonewhen he caught a swing pass

from quarterback Luke Schuttbehind the line of scrimmagefor a touchdown.

"I can't really call it a forwardpass," said Gavin, "but I guessit would be called a lateral...theoffensive line was outstandingthroughout the game."

Gavin's 3 other touchdownswere on runs of 3, 9 and 34yards. Gavin credits MilesGeorge as an unsung force inthe Notre Dame offense.

"Miles is underrated, he canrun, block, and off the field he isa great person," Gavin said.

George for the game had 10carries for 58 yards and caughttwo passes for 23 yards.

To go along with Gavin andGeorge in the Dons backfieldwas the all-around play of Jer-emy Calder. The senior playedlinebacker for 3 quarters, andwhen the outcome was decided,Calder was inserted in the NotreDame backfield. He recordedthe Dons final touchdown on a40 -yard run.

The lone bright spot forJCA was junior running -backKeenan Halley who attacked theDons defense for 165 yards.

The Joliet Catholic (1-3) andNotre Dame rivalry goes backmany years. Hennessey beganhis 31st year as head coachthis season and the Fridaynight win was his third overthe Hilltoppers.

College Preview

Oakton Volleyball 'Sets Up' Nicely For 2017 Season

Having a healthy team captain to start theseason will set the tone for a successful 2017campaign, according to Vince Miranda, headvolleyball coach at Oakton.

Last season, setter Mandy Aragon (Skokie/Niles North) missed considerable time becauseof an ankle injury, which caused the Owlsto literally get off on the wrong foot. Withhis key player back at full strength, Mirandaanticipates the Owls to be strong coming outof the starting gate.

"Having Mandy starting the season at fullstrength will help the team with consistencyand confidence on the team is way up," Miran-da said. "The setter is like the quarterback infootball. Mandy runs the court with her playcalling. With her back at 100 percent, it makesa tremendous difference as our offensive attackruns smoothly with her on the court."

Aragon said she's excited to start the seasonplaying instead of watching from the bench.

"It's much better to begin the year withouthaving to wear a brace," she said. "I've testedmy ankle out several times and there' ve beenno problems. I'm back to being explosiveto setting up all the balls I touch. The morecomfortable I feel, the more fluid my gamewill be. I can't wait for this season to beginand see how competitive we can be."

Miranda is excited about the season withthe return of Meg Stangel (Park Ridge/Wil-lows Academy), a 6 -foot standout middlehitter. Last season, she led the team with 56solo blocks, which ranked her in the top 20 inNational Junior College Athletic AssociationDivision II.

The Owls also bring back experience inthe return of outside hitters Lizete Chavez(Chicago/Lake View HS) and Anais Deac(Chicago/homeschooled).

In addition, Miranda is optimistic about the

2017 season because of team height."Meg is our tallest player, but we also

have four players who are at least 5 -foot -10inches tall," Miranda said. "More height onlymakes it easier for us to be more efficientlyoffensively."

Those players include right -side hitter Yn-grid Philippe (Evanston/Evanston HS), middleblocker Lillian Stipetic (Des Plaines/MaineWest), outside hitter Elmina Alic (Skokie/Niles West) and setterA lena Alwar (Glenview/Glenbrook South).

"Yngrid will be a key offensive componenton our right side and will help diversify ourattacking style," Miranda said. "Lillian's forteis blocking and excited to see what she can dodefensively. Elmina brings aggressiveness tothe net as an attacker and Alena is one of ourmore aggressive players at the net."

Miranda is also excited about the potential ofmiddle blocker/outside hitter Holly Lindberg(Niles/Maine East).

"She has a lot of energy on the court, buthas a possible stress fracture and might notbe starting at the beginning of the season,"he said.

With his talented squad, Miranda says thatthe Owls will be able to compete with Illi-nois Skyway Collegiate Conference (ISCC)powerhouses such as Waubonsee CommunityCollege and McHenry County College.

"There's tough competition in the ISCC,"Miranda said. "We expect a lot of good matchesand we'll be battling to win. Nothing will beeasy for us, but one thing is for sure: we willbe one of the most disciplined teams."

The Owls opened the season Aug. 24 againstJoliet Junior College.

"Playing at home is a great way to start theseason and I'm so pumped to see what we canaccomplish this year," he said.

Football Roundup(Continued from page 7AA)waters for their storied pro-gram, winless through fourgames and in danger of theirfirst losing season since 2011(4-5). The Vikings have madethe playoffs every since 1995except that 2011 season. Fremd,which has been outscored 24

to 100 through four games,is coming off three straightseasons of scoring 300 -pluspoints. However, they don'tseem likely to reach that mile-stone this year. Evanston (3-1)spoiled Fremd's homecomingby jumping out to a 32-0 leadbefore the Vikings finally put

up points late in the fourthquarter against Evanston'sbackups. Fremd was able topost 140 -plus yards offense onthe ground.

New Trier 10, Conant 7:Conant may be 1-3 this season,but they have been much bet-ter than their record indicates.They lost by 6 points to Buf-falo Grove (4-0 record) and

Glenbrook South (3-1), beforefalling by 3 points to New Trier(2-2). The Cougars, who havescored 53 points and allowed53 through four games, play atneighborhood rival HoffmanEstates (4-0) to continue theirdaunting opening schedule.

Loyola 42, St. Francis 7:Loyola (3-1) coasted to. aneasy win over St. Francis (1-3),

kicking off the running clock inthe second half after taking a42-0 lead. Hamid Bullie, TylerFlores and Alec Brownlee allscored rushing touchdownsfor the Ramblers in the firsthalf. Quinn Boyle tossed atouchdown pass and backupQB Jack Fallon tossed twotouchdowns. Loyola has wonthree straight after starting theseason 0-1.

Leyden(Continued from page 6AA)for a 35 -yard TD.

Leyden rolled up 193 yardsrushing for the game, but itwould have been over 200except for one 12 -yard sackof quarterback Britten, whoneeded to throw only eighttimes, completing three for 17yards. Alfano, a 5-5,135-1b. dy-namo, carried the ball 11 times,

making 42 yards including thefinal TD on a 4 -yard dash.

The Eagles other points cameon the 21 -yard keeper scoreby Britten, the safety by JasonKemp when he sacked the Pi-rate QB in the end zone, and a5 -for -5 night on PAT kicks byDiego Diaz.

Bruising junior newcomerfullback Guarderas had beenLeyden's leading ground -gainer(pretty much its only ground -gainer) in the first three games

and he looked to be the powerfulhope of the offense for the nexttwo seasons. But he skippedpractice without explanationduring the week, drawing coachCerasani's ire and a seat of thebench for the entire contest.

Fortunately, Hinnawi's he-roics and the Leyden defensesaved the day, but Guarderas'conduct could have cost Ley-den this winnable game. A lotis riding on him being a rusher,a scorer and a leader.

The others in this young creware maturing nicely, junior quar-terback Britten gaining 42 yardson three rushes and runninga nearly error -free show, andother juniors like Kemp (with9 yards on 2 runs, plus 2 sacksand 4 tackles) anchoring animpressive defense along withTrayvon Thomas (7 tackles),Brian Borowski (2 sacks), Fer-nando Corona (5 tackles, a sackand fumble recovery), RyanJaffray and Gerardo Castillo.

Then there are sophomores NickMotyka and Vince Fredrickson,both of whom already play likeseniors, plus the real seniors.

Things are going to get muchtougher this Friday at Leyden'sHomecoming celebration whenranked Lyons Township showsup in Northlake for their annualnon -conference battle with theEagles. The season then playsout with four straight WSGgames, two at home and twoaway.

EagleRider A Destination For Motorcycle EnthusiastsRental Facility Serves As LaunchPoint For Cross Country Trips

By MIRIAM FINDERANNENBERGJournal & Topics Reporter

A local rental and tour com-pany has become a hot startingpoint for motorcyclists embark-ing on the Route 66 tour.

Riders from around the worldfly into Chicago before settingoff for Los Angeles via thefamed route, Merrie Boyer,retail rental specialist, said.

"We have a lot of foreign cus-tomers (who) fly in," Boyer said."They really seem to like it."

Pegged as EagleRider Chi-cago's signature tour, Route 66stretches 2,400 miles over 15days through Missouri, Okla-homa, Texas, New Mexico,Arizona and Nevada beforereaching California.

The Chicago -area EagleRid-er, now located in Schiller Parknear the southern edge of Rose-mont, was previously locatedin Berwyn and Countryside be-fore corporate officials decidedto move closer to the village.The company also runs a BMWmotorcycle rental facility inCountryside.

"We've only been here forthree seasons," said RetailRental Specialist DominicRozich. "Rosemont was the upand coming [destination], andwe got this location to put our

foot in the door."Rozich said the company

may be on the move againas early as next year. Thoughunsure of where the move willtake them, EagleRider's part-nership with Harley-Davidsonopens up the opportunity of therental business moving into theHarley-Davidson dealershipplanned to open in Rosemont'sMB Financial Park next year.

A move within Rosemontwould keep EagleRider closeto O'Hare Airport, the accesspoint for many clients. Oncethey fly in, EagleRider helpsset clients up with a hotel roomin Rosemont -- often taking onsome of the cost -- before ridersset off on their trips.

On Sept. 6, nine bikes hold-ing about 20 people set out onthe Route 66 tour, with about30 people expected to followin the ensuing days.

Riders can drive on theirown or as part of a guided tourgroup. Most of the tour guidesare sent from EagleRider'sheadquarters in Hawthorne,CA, about 15 miles from LosAngeles.

Boyer said clients also lookfor shorter, more local trips. Shesaid riders head out for the dayto Starved Rock State Park, fora ride along Lake Michigan,or up to the Harley-Davidson

Museum in Milwaukee.Outside of those planning

riding trips, some customers inthe market for new motorcyclesrent those bikes as a kind oftest drive.

As for Rosemont, Rozich andBoyer said they appreciate therange of available activitiesand restaurants, as well as theproximity to the airport.

"There's a lot to do up here,"said Boyer.

EagleRider began in 1992when founders Chris McIntyreand Jeff Brown began rentingfour bikes out of a garage.

They now rent out Harley-Davidson, Indian, Triumph,BMW, Honda, and Yamahamotorcycles.

EagleRider has roughly 60locations throughout the U.S.,with additional outposts in Eu-rope, Australia and Asia.

This Way To Wealth

Are You In A Financial Sandwich?By ALAN NADOLNA

Today, as people tend toenjoy longer retirements andlife expectancies, some newissues have arisen that arenew to nearly everyone.

Families with children,many preparing for the ex-pense of college educations,are also facing the burden ofassisting aging parents.

We are seeing more and

more clients being pulledfrom two (or more) direc-tions in order to provide fortheir clients' parents and theirchildren's education.

While many parents havepre -funded, through 529 plansor other tools for college, few,if any have pre -funded long-term care for parents. A verysmall percentage of parentshave set up long term carefunding, whether through in-

surance or earmarked savings.Like all developments, this

is one that requires awarenessfirst. Planning for collegeis an activity that nearly allparents know they must do.However, few, have had con-versations with parents aboutplanning for the likelihood ofexpenses related to long termcare, which are not coveredby Medicare.

Discussions with parents

Buffalo Grove

about estate planning aredifficult, while conversationsabout nursing homes andlong-term care expenses areeven harder. However, wehave seen too many cases ofthe dissipation of holdingsand family discord to avoid it.

"Mom and Dad, what arewe going to do about the pos-sibility of one or both of youneeding long term care incoming years?" This can, at

least, create an awareness andpossible dialog about some-thing that may impact everymember of the family.

everything from how and whycar drivers in Russia use dashcameras to the life of rats inBaltimore. Some movies, like"Railway Sleepers", are ofregular length in the 102 -min-ute range. This graceful movie,shot over eight years, tells thestory of people of Thailand,mainly children, who ride therails exposing what they see

and their inner thoughts andfeelings.

Other movies are ferociouslylong, like "Long Strange Trip",while others, called "shorts"last for five to 20 minutes.One "short", "Best of Luckwith the Wall" is a dazzlingeight -minute tour of the bor-der wall separating Mexicofrom its mammoth neighborto the North.

international acclaim.Downtown Columbia, with

the university campus just afew blocks away from most ofthe movie theaters, is a livelyplace both during the day andnight. In just a few short yearsit has been revitalized as "TheDistrict" full of restaurantsand bars, some of which lurethose who enjoy karaoke, not tomention a good bite and a liba-tion or two. Among the mostpopular spots are ShakespearePizza and Dogmaster Distill-ery. Throughout are charmingshops and boutiques selling art,clothing and all kinds of nick-nacks. Street vendors also sellfood and entertain children.

Columbia's regular popula-tion is 110,000 with 35,000students. Besides the Univer-sity of Missouri, there's the all -women's Stephens College andColumbia College nearby.

For those wanting a breakfrom Columbia's urban set-ting, the Katy Trail, just a

short drive away, provides 243miles of well-groomed hikingand biking opportunities. It'sthe largest completed rails totrails conversion in the "ShowMe State". Access to the trailcan be made at the tiny townof Rocheport, population 239,that's home to several bed andbreakfasts and a couple of res-taurants. It's only a few milesfrom Columbia.

To get to Columbia, regularflights from O'Hare Airportare available. It can be reachedby car from Chicago in abouteight hours.

True/False Film Fest Puts Focus On Columbia, MissouriBy TODD WESSELLJournal & Topics Travel Editor

It was a long film, but itwasn't strange.

The evening winter air ofcentral Missouri chilled thebones of nearly everyone whowas standing in the long linethat snaked around the corner.In the line was a middle-agedcouple. They seemed excitedabout what they sensed wasgoing to be a unique experi-ence. They paid no mind tothe cold.

Moments later, people be-gan their shuffling sendingthe hundreds of film -goersinto the warm comfort of theShowtime Theater at the BlueNote in downtown Columbia,Missouri. They were ready toview the new documentary film"Long Strange Trip" about theformation andlife of the iconiccounterculture band The Grate-ful Dead.

For the next 259 minutes-- that's more than four hours-- viewersbecame immersed inthe story of leader Jerry Gar-

cia and his band's music andsometimes strange lifestyle.Much of their music, they hadhoped, was inspired by theswallowing of "acid" that theybelieved would release theirinner creativity and capturethe imaginations of millionsof their followers dating fromthe 1960s to today.

"Long Strange Trip" wasjust one of more than 40mold -splitting documentariesshowcased at one of the topfilm gatherings in the world,the True/False Film Fest. In

RestoringRespect

How A Handful Of Veterans StartedA Wall To Heal A Nation

By ANNE LUNDEJournal & Topics Reporter

Abraham Lincoln said, "A house di-vided against itself cannot stand," andhis message rang clear a century lateras the United States tried to resolve itsphilosophical conflicts on the VietnamWar, an unpopular"police action" whichhad sent its young men and women tofight in the jungles of Southeast Asia.

Through two decades and four presi-dents, Americans debated whether weshould be there at all. War correspon-dents sent home footage of the battlesfor the evening news. Returning militarypeponnel did not get the heroes' wel-coines their fathers and grandfathershad.

Even defining the war's end continuedto be hard, not a defeat but a "failedinitiative."

Out of this deep division grew a de-termination by a handful of Vietnamwar veterans, working in Washington,D.C., that there needed to be some wayto heal the country, and the VietnamMemorial Wall was conceived.

Ron Gibbs, a graduate of West LeydenHigh School, had spent four years inthe U.S. Army, from 1968-72, the laststretch in Vietnam. He was back in thestates, working on Capitol Hill, and try-ing to finish his graduate degree at theKennedy School of Government.

Also in Washington was Jan Scruggs,a wounded 'Nam veteran who worried,after the fighting ended, that the militarypersonnel on our side whose lives werelost would be forgotten.

Gibbs says Scruggs' mantra was, "Wecan't sweep the Vietnam War underthe carpet and forget the 58,000 whowere killed."

So "four or five guys," all veteransand all volunteers, would gather in theevening at the Army -Navy Club anddream how to restore duty and honorto military service, to give the deceasedrecognition and respect.

Scruggs dreamed of a memorial onthe National Mall, set between Lincoln'sTomb and the Washington Monument,to be a place where all the names of allthe lost could be listed, somehow. The

land was controlled by theNational Park Service, and thepermissions to locate anythingthere were up to Congress.

The Vietnam Veterans Me-morial Fund was organized inApril 1979.

Gibbs tackled lobbying theU.S. House and Senate, whereboth major political partieswere still divided into war"hawks" and the "doves" whohad argued for peace.

At first, no one was willingto listen, because there weremonuments already delayedin line, one for Franklin D.Roosevelt, one for Dr. MartinLuther King. The Vietnam Vet-erans Memorial Fund commit-tee raised $9 million in privatedonations so no federal fundswere needed.

Their committee set its rules.There would be no politicalstatements, for or against thewar. Every one of the namesmust be included, and none ofthem would be listed by rank-- all would be equal there.The people, not the militaryencounters, were what had tomatter.

Some were foreign nationals

who had joined the U.S. Forces,including Vietnamese and Irishcitizens.

The Department of Defenseprovides the list, including newconfirmed deaths attributedto lingering wounds of thewar, and those missing in ac-tion whose bodies are finallyidentified. They started with58,191 names, now expandedto 58,318.

Instead of listing them alpha-betically, they would be listedchronologically in the orderthey died, starting with 1959and ending in 1975.

It took from 1980 to 1982,but the committee was finallysuccessful in obtaining twoacres of ground on the Mall,as long as they didn't buildanything tall.

They invited proposals fromarchitects for what the monu-ment should look like. The1,421 submissions were turnedover to professional judgesfrom the American Instituteof Architects, who spent twoweeks reviewing them in anairplane hangar at AndrewsAir Force Base. All the planswere numbered but otherwiseanonymous.

The job and a $20,000 firstprize was awarded to Maya Lin,then a 21 -year -old architecturestudent at Yale University.She beat the plans from thecountry's greatest architecturalfirms, and from her professorwho had assigned it as a projectfor his students.

names, and continues to beused carefully for the handfulof new names added each yearas deaths are confirmed.

These military names areplaced as close as possible tothe men or women with whomthey served and died.

The symbolism of the wall'slong arms embraces life anddeath.

From the RevolutionaryWar, which George Washing-ton led, to the Civil War whichAbraham Lincoln mediated,visitors find links also.

Inside there seems to be asense of quiet reverence, visi-tors say, and then they step outand life begins again, Gibbsexplains.

It is not a traditional build-ing inspired by ancient tem-ples, but it has been respectedin its own ways.

Despite all the early objec-tions from the wealthy andpowerful in Washington,James Watt, secretary of theinterior under Ronald Rea-gan, cleared the way for theconstruction.

The wall was dedicated in1982 on Veterans Day.

The committee had hoped toavoid having a statue, wantingjust the names.

When they couldn't getpermission without it, theycompromised and a statue ofof three soldiers was commis-sioned to stand outside themain memorial area.

A group of combat nurses,a separate statue, was addedin 1993.

The wall in Washington,D.C., at one point held therecord as the most visited ofthe national motiuments.

An average of two millionpeople visit the wall eachyear.

It ranked 10th in a 2007list of America's favoritearchitecture compiled by theAmerican Institute of Archi-tects.

It also proved to be such apowerful place for medita-tion, healing and reconcilia-tion that it opened hearts andopportunities for monumentsto be installed for the KoreanWar and World War II de-ceased veterans.

Gibbs anticipates that it willalso provide an example whenthe War Against Terrorism,

In 1984, Vietnam CombatVeterans, Ltd., constructed ahalf -scale replica of the wallwhich started to tour the coun-try to share the experiencewith people who couldn't visitWashington, D.C.

History(Continued from page 8)

of the country, is now calledHo Chi Minh City.

After World War II, Frenchforces came back to reassertcontrol over Vietnam withSaigon, in the south of the coun-try, as the nation's capital.

On Sept. 2, 1945, Ho ChiMinh declared independencefrom France, announcing thecreation of the DemocraticRepublic of Vietnam, whosecapital was in Hanoi, in thenorth of the country.

On March 8, 1949, thepresident of France signed theElysee Agreement forming asingle independent "State ofVietnam" within the FrenchUnion with aman named BaoDai appointed as its leader.The State of Vietnam kept itscapital in the southern city ofSaigon.

The Elysee Agreement andHo Chi Minh's declaration ofindependence left two com-peting capitals, and armies,competing for control over thecountry.

Surrender At Dien BienPhu, Partition & TheCold War

With the Cold War heatingup, the Communist nations ofChina and the Soviet Uniongave Ho Chi Minh's Republicof Vietnam diplomatic recog-nition in January 1954. At thesame time, the U.S. recognizedBao Dai's State of Vietnamin the south. The U.S. didnot recognize Ho Chi Minh'sgovernment and China and theSoviets did not recognize BaoDai's government.

From 1950 through 1954,French troops fought Ho ChiMinh's Viet Minh Army forcontrol of the country. U.S.President Harry Truman begansending military aid to Frenchtroops and supporters of BaoDai in 1950.

On May 7, 1954, Frenchtroops, supported by AmericanCIA air assets, surrendered toViet Minh troops after a pitched55 -day battle. One month later,leaders of North and SouthVietnam sign the GenevaAccords setting up the 17thParallel as the division betweenNorth and South.

In September 1954, theSoutheast Asia Treaty Organi-zation is formed with France,Great Britain, U.S., Australia,New 'Zealand, the Philip-pines, Thailand, and Pakistanwhose goal is to act as a checkagainst the expansion of Com-munism. At that point the U.S.

sent 12,000 advisors into theSouth. In 1956, the U.S. Mili-tary Assistance and AdvisoryGroup -Indochina, takes overresponsibility for trainingSouth Vietnamese troops fromthe French, a U.S. Army time-line of the war shows.

Hertel says U.S. officialspushed the "Domino Theory",that if Vietnam falls to Commu-nism, other nations in the areaincluding Laos, Cambodia andThailand would soon also fall

under Communist control.Hertel said beginning in

1957, Ho Chi Minh was quietlysending troops called the VietCong to infiltrate villages in theSouth as the U.S. sent more aidto the South.

Gulf of Tonkin& Combat Operations

Two reported attacks onU.S. naval vessels, one Aug.2, 1964 and one Aug. 4, 1964

in the Gulf of Tonkin off theNorth Vietnamese coast led toa congressional resolution, amajor ramp up in U.S. combatoperations in Vietnam.

Aug. 2, the destroyer USSMaddox reported being en-gaged by three small boats inthe Gulf of Tonkin. They al-legedly launched torpedoes atthe ship, all of which missed.Some Vietnam -era veterans,to this day, doubt accounts ofthat attack.

The Defense department'stimeline of the Aug. 4 Gulf ofTonkin incident says, "USSMaddox and the USS TurnerJoy, both in the Gulf of Tonkin,report being attacked by severalsmaller boats. However, lateranalyses of those reports makeit clear that North Vietnamesenaval forces did not attack theMaddox or the Turner Joy thatnight."

The attacks came after theNovember 1963 assassinationof South Vietnamese Presi-dent Ngo Dinh Diem and hisbrother Ngo Dinh Nhu. Hertelsays many believe it was aCIA -backed coup engineeredby South Vietnamese GeneralDuong Van Minh. Duong VanMinh remained a general in theSouth Vietnamese Army untilthe 1975 surrender to NorthVietnam. After the assassina-tion, Nguyen Van Theiu wasinstalled as president of SouthVietnam.

Hertel said he and many oth-ers believe the Gulf of Tonkinwas merely an excuse to tampup combat operations afterthe coup.

Aug. 5, 1964, PresidentLyndon Johnson ordered airstrikes on North Vietnamese

fuel depots and naval assets.Two U.S. aircraft were shotdown in that operation. One,pilot was killed in 'action anda second was taken prisoner byNorth Vietnamese forces.

The Gulf of Tonkin reso-lution led to deployment of200,000 ground troops in SouthVietnam. Hertel says by 1966,that deployment would swellto a half -million troops.

Viet Cong troops were em-bedded in southern villages andcities. U.S. troops were fightingan enemy without a uniformwhich could attack and easily.blend back into the indigenouspopulation. In those villages,Viet Cong also recruited SouthVietnamese to join their fight.

U.S. forces went on patrolslooking to identify Viet Congin villages, to identify the hid-den enemy. The landscape waslittered with landmines. Someenemy forces worked out ofintricate underground tunnelsystems.

Although attacks were com-ing from the North, Hertel saysconcerns about broadening theconflict beyond Vietnam keptU.S. forces from invading theNorth.

"We didn't want to piss offthe Russians, so we didn't in-vade the North," Hertel said.

Aerial bombardment of theNorth by U.S. forces did beginin 1965 and continued withmissions such as OperationRolling Thunder.

Decorated VeteransLined Up As SpeakersBy LAUREN BARRYJournal & Topics Reporter

As Des Plaines counts the days untilThe Wall That Heals mobile replica ofthe Vietnam Memorial comes to LakePark, two well known veterans haveagreed to help welcome the displayto the community.

Retired U.S. Gen. James Mukoyaniaand Missing in America Projectfounder Mjr. Fred Salanti have beensecured as guest speakers for the wall'sdebut Sept. 28, said VFW CommanderMike Lake.

When a previously scheduled speak-er dropped out last month, Lake wasrelieved to find Salanti, his roommateat Fort Bliss, TX, 50 years ago.

While finishing his first assign-ment as an officer, Lake's assignedroommate decided to move. Then hemet Salanti.

"I was stuck with almost no timeor a place to stay. That is when Fred,who had arrived a few months after I did, offered to let me stay with himuntil I round a place," said Lake. "Ilived with him in a two bedroom adobehouse on a corner lot for about eightmonths, until we both received orders

to go overseas."Lake was assigned to the Demili-

tarized Zone in Korea and Salanti, aCalifornia native, went on to servefor over a year in Vietnam. Both were20 years old.

"When the replica wall was here in.1988, Noreen and I visited it, and thefirst thing I did was search the wallfor his name. I broke down when itwas not there, meaning he survived,"Lake told the Journal.

Back then, he had no way of findingSalanti, who moved back to Californiaafter the war.

During his service, Salanti receivedseveral honors, including an ArmyCommendation Medal, Air Medal,Purple Heart, Combat InfantrymanBadge, Vietnam Service Medal,Bronze Stars and more.

In 2007, Salanti created the Missingin America Project to "to locate, iden-tify and inter the unclaimed cremainsof American veterans."

Through this project and otherveterans -related service work, Salantihas been honored as Veteran of theYear by the California Assembly.

is an important project, especiallyconsidering the treatment of those whoserved in Vietnam after they returnedhome. To date, the VVA is the onlycongressionally chartered organizationspecifically for Vietnam veterans.

According to Christensen, it wasfounded because many traditional vet-erans organizations would not acceptthose who fought in Vietnam.

"It's hard to accept," said Christians-en, In Des Plaines, the VVA has beenoperating since the mid -'80s, when thefirst mobile wall came to the city.

"I've been talking to a lot of our guys,and a lot of them have never even seenthe wall," Christiansen said.

Over the past few weeks, AmericanLegion and Sons of the American Le-gion Post 36 have also helped in the ef-fort to bring the wall to Des Plaines.

"Some of our members are veterans,and some of them are not, but it doesmean a lot to us," said Kevin O'Connellof the Sons of the American Legion."They didn't get the welcome homethey deserved, and we are trying to dothat now."

O'Connell was one of the founders ofthe Des Plaines Sons branch, an exten-sion of the American Legion, in 2015.Though the American Legion has alsobeen involved in the project, they beganparticipating recently when the post's

went to the Des Plaines Park District,which is providing the location for thewall along the west side of Lake Opeka,facing Lee Street. According to GeneHaring of the park district marketingdepartment, park staff will also be onhand to help set up the wall.

"All of us at the park district are proudto be a part of this important project.It is our hope that having the wall insuch a beautiful and peaceful settingwill provide veterans, family membersand friends a place where they mightfind some small measure of comfort

as they remember their loved ones,"said Des Plaines Park District DirectorDon Miletic.

Along with the VFW's applicationand initial letter, the park district alsosent a letter requesting the wall last sum-mer. Eventually, the city was selectedout of 64 other communities for themethorial, Lake said.

Another driving force behind thewall's journey to the community wasthe Des Plaines History Center.

"Since we are the stewards of thememory of our community, we providedresearch of those who were killed inaction," said Philip Mohr, curator for

the center.Mohr compiled biographies on 21

Des Plaines residents who were killedduring the war, with names included inthe national monument and its replica.He also found information about threeadditional enlisted troops who diedfrom non -combat related causes dur-ing the war.

As a veteran of the Vietnam Warhimself, Lake, who was stationed inKorea during the conflict, feels a specialconnection to this project.

"Yciu'll see me losing it," he said. "Iknow it's just names on a wall, but it'svery emotional."

Before, During& After

One Army Veteran's Experience EnteringWar, Serving, Moving On With Life

By DENISE FLEISCHERLifestyle Editor

In 1965, Bill Christiansen of DesPlaines graduated from St. Viator HighSchool and continued his education atLoras College in Dubuque, Iowa. Buthe became disillusioned with highereducation, returned home and beganlooking for employment.

Wondering about his draft statusweighed heavily. He knew employerswere not going to hire men his age andinvest their time in training, when thosemen could be deployed to Vietnamwhere war was escalating.

"There was a lot of frustration there,so I just went to the draft board inNovember, which was down here onEllinwood Street and I asked themwhen I was going to get drafted," re-called Christiansen, now 70. Today, heserves as president of Vietnam Veteransof America Chapter 311 and is brother

of former Des Plaines alderman, TomChristiansen. "The woman asked mewhen my birthday was, then said thatI was one of the lucky ones. I wouldn'tgo to Vietnam for another 1-1/2 years.I told her that wasn't going to put meon the payroll. Put my name up on thetop of the list."

Christiansen wanted to get it overwith so he could land a job and get onwith his life. He received his inductionnotice and was drafted in January 1968.He went to the induction office on thesouthside of Chicago, took a physical,swore his allegiance, flew to Nashville,TN, and was driven to Fort Campbell,KY, for basic training in the Army.

"This was nothing like I' d. envisioned.They teach you the basics: map read-ing, first aid, how to shoot and clean aweapon, and march in a straight line.Then they loaded us up on cattle trucksto go to the rifle range. This was Janu-

never fed. That not only madeyou move faster, you found outwho made you late," he said.

When he reached AdvancedIndividual Training, he wastaught to channel that hatredinto killing, or what a soldiermust do to survive and completehis mission.

Christiansen was deployedto Vietnam in December 1968.The first thing he dealt with wasadapting to the extreme climatechange. He was transportedto Binh Long (the soldiersknew it as Long Binh), whichwas a large landing strip. Hespent three days in Bien Hoa,a detention center, or holdingarea for U.S. soldiers, next toBinh Long. Christiansen wasattached to the 9th InfantryDivision, 25 miles south ofSaigon.

"My whole year there, goingout to the field, I saw one motor-ized tractor that the farmers use.They had water buffalo plowthe fields. Rice paddies were insix to 12 inches of water. Theywalked behind the water buffaloand planted little shoots of rice.Now, those water buffalo, ifthey caught your scent, they'dcharge you. You steered clear ofthem, but you had your thumbon your safety switch."

Proving You Knew WhatYou Were Doing

After Bien Hoa, he was sentto the 9th Division HoldingCompany in Dong Tam, whichwas the 9th Infantry Divisionheadquarters. There were 300men in the holding area. Justafter dawn, two men wearingtigerstripe camouflage uni-forms and black berets pulledup in a jeep.

"I knew right away who theywere. These are the LRRPs,Long Range ReconnaissancePatrol. Of the 300 guys thatwere there, they chose six ofus, and I was one of the six.They took us over to the LRRPcompound. We were assigneda team and would be the FNG,Fricken New Guy. You had toshow these guys that you knewwhat you were doing. Afteryour first fire fight, you showedeveryone how you would actunder fire."

Christiansen said it was like amother hen looking out for herchicks. You had a team leaderand your assistant team leader.They molded you into shapeand you would learn from theirexperience.

"Before you went out on anymission, the team leader andassistant team leader wouldgo out to the TOC, TacticalOperation Center. They hadthe whole map of your area,"



Christiansen(Continued from page 32)

he said, opening up the actualmap they used. "Each squareis 1,000 yards x 1,000 yards.See this, these are all ricepaddies. These villages hadno electricity. When the sunwent down, everyone went tosleep. All these rivers weremajor infiltration routes fromCambodia."

There was a canal that wentstraight to Cambodia, and ifthe Viet Cong would leaveat dusk, they could get downthe river overnight. Out ofthe middle of nowhere, Chris-tiansen said, all the soldiershad was the moon and thestars. A lot ambushes wereset up there.

At the TOC, the men wouldreceive their area of operation.Most of the time, if they hadintel on the area, they wouldshare the information withthe team.

The ATL and TL wouldthen go out on an overflightof the area of operation. Thiswas achieved using a lightoperation helicopter. Theywould fly over the area ofoperation to look for goodinsertion points and makemental pictures of everythingthere. The last thing you wantto do is insert into a hot land-ing zone.

"Then the team leaderwould come back and say, 'Al-right, we have an overnightmission. We're going to besnooping and poopin. That'sall it was. We would land,we would wait for the dustto settle where we could hearthings and right at dusk, youcan actually see things. Onceit got dark, you depended onyour ears."

Christiansen remembers themosquitoes. When you didn'thear mosquitoes, someonewas looking for you.

After landing came themarching orders. The menwere tokl what they wouldcarry, which was usually60-lbs. of gear. He carriedan M-16 assault rifle and aCAR -15 that had an adapted79 grenade launcher.

They had no water. His onlyfood was a can of peaches. Ifyou were to go on longer mis-sions, then you would receiveLRRP rations, dehydratedfood where water was added,and let the sun heat it up therest of the day. Christiansenexperienced things he neverthought he could do.

"You went out every thirdday. Your first day of yourmission was a stand downwhere you could do anything

you wanted to do. Preferably,shower. The second day, youwere on standby for the teamsthat were out in the field thatmight need a reactionaryforce. The third day, you'dbe going out again," he said."The only thing that wouldchange that, is sometimes youdidn't go out with your team.Then you became a FOB, aforward operation base radiooperator. We would go frombeing a team member to amember of the FOBs."

The FOB team would bedropped off at a fire supportbase so that they could setup their antenna to establishmobile communications.There was a lot of logisticsinvolved.

The year Christiansen wasin Vietnam, of the 125 men inhis company, 10 were killed.He recalled helping pull threemen out after an ambush.Two of the three had diedwhen they separated from thesix -man team. The survivingteam members felt stronglyabout not leaving their menbehind.

Leaving No ManBehind

"On May 29, we walkedinto an ambush. We were ona parakeet flight. We weresent there to find guys thatdidn't have military IDs. Wehad a fire team with an LOH(light observation helicopter),a Huey, and a cobra gunship.The LOH flew 15 -25 -ft. offthe ground to look for veg-etation that had been mashed

down. The team leader sawsigns that someone had beenthere. There's another unwrit-ten rule, you don't set a prefer-ence, you don't go to the sameplace twice. The team leadervolunteered to go. I waited forhim to come out of a mud hutthat the Vietnamese lived in.I found out that he was at theNipa line. We heard a burstof AK and a burst of 16 anda longer burst of AK. We hadthree guys hit. Two guys dead,one wounded."

Christiansen marked theenemy position, had the gun-ships work out the whole area,and on the second pass went infor the men with the remain-ing team members. An LOHlanded to transport them.

Life Continues, ButMemories Still Vivid

Twenty years later, Chris-tiansen called the team lead-er's family in Missouri. He

met them at their home. Bothparents asked how their sondied. He related the story withcomplete honesty as the fam-ily deserved the truth. As theday wore on, extended familymembers came to the house. Amemorial service was plannedfor everyone in the area whodied in the Vietnam War.

For three years, they ex-changed Christmas cards andtouched base.

During a recent interviewwith the Journal, Chris-tiansen showed pictures ofthe company sniper, rifle inhand, face colored in greencamouflage.

He pointed out a cobragunship, how his barrackswere mortared, a capturedmember of the Viet Cong, anda picture of himself withoutcamouflage.

Two weeks after his picturewas taken, Christiansen saidthe photographer was killed.That was war.

He laid out his medals andpointed out an Air Medal,Silver Star, Bronze Star andCombat Infantry Badge, aVietnamese campaign medal,Purple Heart, Good Conductmedal, National Defense andArmy Commendation medals.Recognition, for the time heserved his country.

Having served 1-1/2 yearsand taken over as team leader,his company commander saidit was time to get him out of thefield. Christiansen was madean FOB radio relay commu-nicator and later discharged.He returned home to workfor his former employer, DPNews Agency, as a route man.He worked for Township HighSchool Dist. 214 for 17 years,provided campus security forsix years and for seven years,was an instructional assistantfor special recreation.

We dated and Fred found a wife, shortly before he shipped out. I came close, but that is a story I have

never told. When the replicaWall was here in 1988 my wife Noreen

and I visited it and the first thing I

did was search the book for his name, I broke down when it was not there, meaning he survived. Back

then I had no means of finding or communicatingwith him, but I was glad he was alive.

What I want to stress is the bond that veterans have with each other. Fifty years is a very long time not

to correspond.One email from me and the response vvas,"I'm there for you Mike, whatever you need".

It would be special if he could be here in person but with technologyhe can via an inflatable screen

as getting married, having children orgoing to college.

Protests grew, especially amongthose of draft age, as conscriptionsramped up into the late 1960s and early1970s, including one of the largest anti-war demonstrations in Washington,D.C., in November 1969. Later thatmonth, the draft changed to a lotterysystem.

While some burned draft cards, oth-ers moved to Canada to avoid beingdrafted. After the war, U.S. PresidentJimmy Carter issued a presidentialpardon for anyone who fled to Canadato avoid the draft.

Military service members, includingreservists, serving in wars in Iraq andAfghanistan often served multiple toursof duty in one or both conflicts.

Tet Offensive

Between Jan. 30 and Feb. 28, 1968,Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Armytroops launched a major offensive,which turned the tide of the war againstthe South.

An Army timeline shows a northernforce estimated at 84,000 began a co-ordinated attack across South Vietnamon 36 provincial capitals and in Saigonduring the Vietnamese Tet holiday. VietCong forces in Saigon fought theirway to the U.S. Embassy grounds. Inthe Mekong Delta, every populationcenter was hit.

The Army timeline shows between25,000 and 30,000 northern troopswere killed in the offensive, but thatit was still seen as a propaganda suc-cess.

Hertel remembers going to a bar ina town near his base, where soldiersoften gathered, the night the Tet Of-fensive began. Without explanation,the bar owner, who knew Hertel, toldhim, "You go now!"

"I went back to the base," Hertelrecalls: "The town came under rocketattack that night."

Pulling Out

In the wake of the Tet Offensive, CBSEvening News anchor Walter Cronkite,ended his Feb. 27,1968 broadcast com-menting on the state of the war:

"To say that we are mired in stalemateseems the only realistic, if unsatisfac-tory conclusion. On the off chancethat military and political analysts areright, in the next few months we musttest the enemy's intentions, in casethis is indeed his last big gasp beforenegotiations.

"But it is increasingly clear to thisreporter that the only rational way outthen will be to negotiate, not as victors,but as an honorable people who livedup to their pledge to defend democracy,and did the best they could," Cronkiteconcluded.

After that statement by one ofAmerica's most trusted journalists,

Hertel says, "The American public lostall confidence in the war."

Heavy fighting continued, but onMay 3, 1968, President Johnson ac-cepted a North Vietnamese offer tobegin peace talks in Paris one weeklater.

In August 1969, Henry Kissinger,special assistant to President Nixonfor national security, met with NorthVietnamese representative Xuan Thuyin Paris, beginning the direct high-levelnegotiations.

Negotiations continued over a periodof years. It was not until Oct. 26, 1972,that President Nixon and Kissingerannounced, "Peace is at hand." OnJan. 27, 1973, the Paris Peace Accordswere signed by representatives of bothNorth and South Vietnam, the UnitedStates, and the northern ProvisionalRevolutionary Government, also knowas the Viet Cong.

The peace accords did not end thefighting. In late 1974 and early 1975,North Vietnamese forces attacked andtook several key areas. By April 15,1975, a third of the South Vietnam-ese forces and half of their weaponswere lost.

On April 30, Saigon fell to the NorthVietnamese troops. Many. recall theiconic image of the last hefidespter,taking off from the U.S. Embassy.That day, South Vietnamese PresidentDuong Van Minh surrendered uncon-ditionally to the North.

Coming Home

Hertel and, before he died, Amirante,said Vietnam veterans were not at allembraced when they returned home,as those in World War II and otherconflicts had been. Amirante said heand others were liteially spit on andscorned by some for having served.

Hertel says he wanted to shed hisuniform and blend back into the back-ground of life.

Because some did not considerVietnam a war, but a police action,some VFW chapters did not welcomeVietnam veterans into their ranksin the 1960s and 1970s. That laterchanged.

Hertel and Amirante were amongthe founding members of the Chicagochapter of a new organization, theVietnam Veterans of America, in theearly 1980s.

As time went on, Vietnam veteranswere eventually given their due, firstwith a welcome home parade in NewYork City in 1982.

Hertel recalls talking with otherveterans who said, "Hey, we can doit better." Hertel and Amirante servedtogether on an organizing committeefor the Chicago event with other Viet-nam veterans.

In' June 1986, reports say 200,000Vietnam veterans marched into GrantPark, ending a three-mile paradecheered on by an estimated half -millionpeople.

Those interviewed for

the film offered perspec-tives from all sides. In-terviews included formertroops recalling theirtrepidation walking onpatrol, worrying thatnext step might be on alandmine, to protestersin the streets of Americancities marching againstthe war and reaction frommilitary members.

As for Foley, when he stands beforethe wall he will begin with a moment of

silence in remembrance of fallen armedforces members, something he does atany ceremony honoring veterans. Hesaid fallen comrade ceremonies duringdeployment always included a vow tokeep alive the memory of those lost.

"I always make sure we pause toremember," he said. "We promised thatwe would."
