  • Two Trustees and 1 White Sox pitcher

    Maybe just a little bit more attention should be given to a local girl “Who just won the Silver Medal in the Olympics. Do we really need to know what Donn Paul thinks of the White Sox upcoming season? Next time Norm is on the show make sure you have plenty of bird food for his his pet parrot!😂King of the one liners “Absolutely”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Football Friday: Mustangs Host Home Playoff Game
Q: How did the team handle the long break from games and try to keep players sharp?
The coaches wanted the bye week to give players rest, but also created game-like practice situations to preserve sharpness. Ramazinsky says the players responded well and expects them to be ready.
Football Friday: Mustangs Host Home Playoff Game
Q: What was it like to travel and scout the teams competing to become Evergreen Park's playoff opponent?
Ramazinsky says it had been years since he scouted in person, and the trip brought back memories of his early coaching days. The coaches openly took notes, watched Dixon beat Plano and enjoyed getting a live look at their opponent.
Mayor Burke And Some Extra Cash
Q: If I'm a sixth grader and I pop in to your library, what's it like?
Murray describes organized after-school STEAM activities, a teen room, informal building-block activities, and spaces for socializing and homework. Children can sign up for events online or ask staff for help if they arrive without registering.
Mayor Burke And Some Extra Cash
Q: You guys do not share a budget with the public schools, correct?
Burke says the village and school districts are separate entities with their own boards and executives. The village nevertheless supports the districts by paying for crossing guards and sharing TIF revenue.
Football Friday: Mustangs (7-2) Get High Playoff Seed
Q: Do you travel to go watch this game because you have the opportunity to see these teams in person a week ahead of time? And do you set up something where your guys can watch it if it's available someplace on a closed circuit feed or something like that?
The coaches plan to attend the Dixon-Plano game, share film and notes, and prepare for the opponent. The team will practice on Saturday.
