Exciting times at the Schwebl household what with graduation, concerts, soccer games, etc. Carie Schwebl and her soccer teammates were honored at Soldier Field last Saturday, May 14, when the Chicago Fire played New Jersey Metro Stars. Carrie herself sang before 10,000 spectators as she opened the evening by singing the “Star Spangled Banner.”
The girls have been coached by Courtney Breen for the past four years.
Congratulations to Carrie and the Trinity soccer team. Sadly, it’s kind of a swan song since Carrie and several of her Trinity friends will be going off to DePaul in the fall.

Last Wednesday’s Mystery Trip was outstanding”according to all reports. The bus took the gang to Janesville, Wisc. where they rode around the GM truck plant in a tram.
After the GM trip they went through a BUS CARWASH. They had to because the pheasant farm they visited requires visitors to get their vehicles washed before entering the pheasant farm. Millions of pheasants … The June 1 trip has been changed to a local destination to the Lake Theatre, with a snack, followed by a garden dinner at Horan’s. Cost of the trip, $21.
John Rice thinks the idea of “privacy” fences” is taken from River Forest.
I don’t know where they came from all of a sudden, but I don’t like the unfriendliness of them. They seem to say, “keep out,” “stay away,” “we don’t want to know you.” And I think they are changing the neighborliness of old Forest Park.
In don’t know when the last time a kid was stolen from a yard in town, but I suspect it was never. About 95 percent of kids who are murdered in this country have been victims of family members. So those fences only trap the poor kid in and put him or her at the mercy of someone in his or her own family.
