It was with great sadness that I read about the death of Rev. Paul Landahl in the Landmark ("Rev. Paul Landahl, 82, Lutheran bishop served on RBHS board," Obituaries, Sept. 9). 

Preying on unjustified fears of voter fraud, some have suggested that people vote by mail and then try to vote again on Election Day to prove there can be fraud. Apart from the fact that voter fraud is illegal, the voting systems in both Chicago and Suburban Cook County will prevent people from voting twice.

The Landmark presented an innovative green approach to storm water management in an op-ed and article in the July 29 edition. The partnership between the Nature Conservancy and the Metropolitan Planning Council could help alleviate the problem of flooding in Riverside and Brookfield neighborhoods that has become more troublesome in the last decade

We'll never understand guys like Jeffrey Tobolski. Here's a guy who seemingly has it made.

In short order last week, we got yet another lesson in pandemic management. That is, you don't so much manage the pandemic as it manages you.

We're not Mayberry anymore and we certainly have come a long way since Riverside named its first police chief, Charles A. Tiele, back on July 10, 1875, paying him a whopping $30 a month and the days of policeman Charlie Lange making his rounds on a bicycle in 1887. Yep, things sure have changed.

I must write about my experience on Thursday, Aug. 18. I called my brothers to please join me for lunch anywhere, as I had to get out of the house for a while. I live alone after losing my husband of almost 50 years of marriage.

Riverside convened a conversation on policing last week, after a summer of unrest and protest nationwide in response to repeated incidents of police brutality against Black citizens – incidents that continue to stoke resentment and violence, as evidenced by the events that have played out in the last couple of days in Kenosha.
