The overall numbers may not pop off the page, but new Wisconsin Football coach Luke Fickell likes what he and his staff were able to do in college football’s early signing period, culminating Wednesday with 14 signees.
Among the surprises were four-star defensive back Amare Snowden and three-star wide receiver Trech Kekahuna.
Snowden had cut his list to Colorado, West Virginia, Howard, Cincinnati, and Wisconsin before telling head coach Luke Fickell he was coming to Madison.
Kekahuna returns to Madison after committing to Wisconsin, then de-committing after the coaching change was made in October. This past Saturday, Kekahuna said he was going to play at Arizona, before re-committing to the Badgers.
"I’m not saying we went after every guy we had a relationship with, or we had known in our time at Cincinnati. There were others that went some other places,” Fickell admitted on Wednesday. “Those are the ones we knew the best, we knew darn well and truly believed that they don’t just fit here as a player, but they fit the culture and all the things that are going to be expected of them."
Along with Snowden, fellow defensive backs Jonas Duclona and Braedyn Moore followed Fickell from Cincinnati to Madison.
Perhaps surprisingly, UW signed only one offensive lineman on Wednesday, four-star prospect James Durand from Chandler, AZ. Wisconsin also officially announced the transfer of former Oklahoma quarterback Nick Evers, who previously announced via his own social media accounts over the weekend.

Through the past 22 years, the initiative has raised over $1 million, purchased brand new toys for over 200,000 children in Washington State and hosted over 60 holiday parties to benefit children in need. More than 10,000 toys are given on a yearly basis, way up from the 300 that Rizzs and Henderson began with. This year, Toys for Kids raised $900,000 -- its most yet in a single year.\n\n“This is so rewarding for all of us,” Rizzs said. “We’ve been able to make an impact in the community. With our vision 27 years ago, we had no idea how big it was going to be, but we really do make a difference in the community, because these kids are youngsters that probably wouldn't get anything at Christmastime. These moms and shelters need our help. This is a tough time of year when you’re having a difficult time, and we want to do what we can.”\n\nThis year, Rizzs was aided by Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford and starting pitcher Marco Gonzales, two of the few Seattle players that live in the area during the offseason. The Mariner Moose, a regular, was also on hand.","type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.6.data":{"html":"

The ones old enough to follow the Mariners watch on TV, listen on the radio,” Rizzs said. “I remember seeing a ballplayer for the first time in my life and couldn't believe they were real. Now, these kids get a chance to connect with them and get an autograph. I really wish you could see the smile on their faces when they get to meet them. And even more so, I love the reaction from Marco and J.P. and knowing what they mean to these kids.”\n\nToys for Kids is a year-round initiative that holds other events such as:\n\n* **Back to School!**: A late-summer gathering that provides school children with essential supplies they need, such as backpacks, pens, paper or other basic supplies.\n* **F.L.Y. -- First Love Yourself**: The organization partners with a local hair salon to give parents who are survivors of domestic violence and residents of homeless shelters a day to feel special and spread their wings. They are treated to haircuts, manicures, and even get their makeup done by Hologram Beauty.\n* **Holiday Parties**: Aided by fundraisers through sponsors and individual donors, Toys for Kids helps ensure that Santa Claus arrives at various stops during the holidays.\n* **Hot Lunches**: The organization helps provide nutritious meals for children during the school year for those on free and/or reduced-priced meals.\n* **Scholarships**: A $5,000 academic scholarship for high-school seniors for tuition and books, recognizing Washington State students that exemplify the high standards and commitment to the community that Henderson believed in.\n\nToys for Kids might be Rizzs’ flagship for giving back, but he also contributes at the Broadview women’s shelter, specifically hosting a holiday party. It’s a busy time of year for one of the busiest personalities in baseball, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.\n\n“It means a great deal to all of us,” Rizzs said. “It's really been something to see how much we’ve grown over the last 27 years. It’s really a labor of love.”","type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.0.data":{"__typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.0":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.0.data","typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"externalSourceName":null,"slug":"storytype-article","title":"Article","type":"article","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.1.data":{"__typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.1":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.1.data","typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"externalSourceName":"customentity.contributor","slug":"daniel-kramer","title":"Daniel Kramer","type":"contributor","__typename":"Tag"},"Team:136":{"id":"136","__typename":"Team"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.2":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Team:136","typename":"Team"},"externalSourceName":"team","slug":"teamid-136","title":"Seattle Mariners","type":"team","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.3.data":{"__typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.3":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.3.data","typename":"UnsupportedTagType"},"externalSourceName":"taxonomy","slug":"apple-news","title":"Apple News","type":"taxonomy","__typename":"Tag"},"Player:594835":{"id":"594835","__typename":"Player"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.4":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Player:594835","typename":"Player"},"externalSourceName":"player","slug":"playerid-594835","title":"Marco Gonzales","type":"player","__typename":"Tag"},"Player:641487":{"id":"641487","__typename":"Player"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"rick-rizzs-mariners-hold-christmas-toy-drive\",\"type\":\"story\"}).tags.5":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"Player:641487","typename":"Player"},"externalSourceName":"player","slug":"playerid-641487","title":"J.P.

SEATTLE -- It’s Rick Rizzs’ favorite time of the year, which is saying something, given that the iconic Mariners broadcaster loves the baseball season perhaps more than any in the organization.
Considering his boisterous personality and passion on the airwaves, it’s no surprise that Rizzs channels those attributes to his life away from the broadcast booth, particularly in giving back to the community and during the holiday season, when his busy schedule finally subsides.
Rizzs recently held a toy drive via the foundation that he and former Mariners center fielder Dave Henderson established in 1995: Toys for Kids, which supports homeless and disadvantaged children throughout the year, with the goal of filling their hearts with hope and joy. Rizzs also helped distribute toys at the Yesler Community Center and to youth at the Harborview Children’s holiday party.
“It’s been really amazing,” Rizzs said. “We had our best year ever. We’ll be in business as long as we possibly can to help these kids and help make sure Santa shows up for these boys and girls.”

Over 90% of all donations for Toys for Kids directly benefit children. Through the past 22 years, the initiative has raised over $1 million, purchased brand new toys for over 200,000 children in Washington State and hosted over 60 holiday parties to benefit children in need. More than 10,000 toys are given on a yearly basis, way up from the 300 that Rizzs and Henderson began with. This year, Toys for Kids raised $900,000 -- its most yet in a single year.
“This is so rewarding for all of us,” Rizzs said. “We’ve been able to make an impact in the community. With our vision 27 years ago, we had no idea how big it was going to be, but we really do make a difference in the community, because these kids are youngsters that probably wouldn't get anything at Christmastime. These moms and shelters need our help. This is a tough time of year when you’re having a difficult time, and we want to do what we can.”
This year, Rizzs was aided by Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford and starting pitcher Marco Gonzales, two of the few Seattle players that live in the area during the offseason. The Mariner Moose, a regular, was also on hand.

“It’s exciting when the kids get a chance to see a big league ballplayer. The ones old enough to follow the Mariners watch on TV, listen on the radio,” Rizzs said. “I remember seeing a ballplayer for the first time in my life and couldn't believe they were real. Now, these kids get a chance to connect with them and get an autograph. I really wish you could see the smile on their faces when they get to meet them. And even more so, I love the reaction from Marco and J.P. and knowing what they mean to these kids.”
Toys for Kids is a year-round initiative that holds other events such as:
Back to School!: A late-summer gathering that provides school children with essential supplies they need, such as backpacks, pens, paper or other basic supplies.
F.L.Y. -- First Love Yourself: The organization partners with a local hair salon to give parents who are survivors of domestic violence and residents of homeless shelters a day to feel special and spread their wings. They are treated to haircuts, manicures, and even get their makeup done by Hologram Beauty.
Holiday Parties: Aided by fundraisers through sponsors and individual donors, Toys for Kids helps ensure that Santa Claus arrives at various stops during the holidays.
Hot Lunches: The organization helps provide nutritious meals for children during the school year for those on free and/or reduced-priced meals.
Scholarships: A $5,000 academic scholarship for high-school seniors for tuition and books, recognizing Washington State students that exemplify the high standards and commitment to the community that Henderson believed in.
Toys for Kids might be Rizzs’ flagship for giving back, but he also contributes at the Broadview women’s shelter, specifically hosting a holiday party. It’s a busy time of year for one of the busiest personalities in baseball, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“It means a great deal to all of us,” Rizzs said. “It's really been something to see how much we’ve grown over the last 27 years. It’s really a labor of love.”
Broadview is seeking to consolidate two TIF districts into a single Roosevelt Road and 17th Avenue TIF district. | File
Saturday, December 10, 2022 || By Michael Romain || @maywoodnews
Broadview plans to consolidate two existing tax increment financing (TIF) districts into a single district in a move designed to spur economic development and infrastructure improvements along Roosevelt Road — the village’s main commercial corridor.
During a public hearing held Dec. 5, Pete Iosue, a consultant with Evanston-based Teska Associates, the firm that’s facilitating the process, said the new Roosevelt Road and 17th Avenue TIF district would include properties that are already located inside of the two existing Roosevelt Road and 17th Avenue TIF districts.
Currently, the 17th Avenue TIF district spans north-south, from Bataan Drive to just past Fillmore Street. The Roosevelt Road TIF east-west from 9th Avenue to the railroad tracks.
“All of the properties we’re talking about here tonight for this new TIF are already currently in a TIF district right now,” Iosue said. “ All we’re trying to do right now is combine them into one.”
He said the project area includes properties that “front on Roosevelt Road, from 17th going east to 9th, and properties that front on 17th, from Roosevelt north to the highway.”
The 17th Avenue and Roosevelt Road TIF districts were established in 2009 and 1999, respectively. Each TIF has a lifespan of up to 23 years, after which they can either be extended for another 12 years or terminated early by the municipality. Another Broadview TIF district, the 19th Street TIF district, was established in 2008, according to Cook County TIF data.
TIF districts don’t create additional property taxes and don’t freeze any property owner’s taxes; rather, during their lifespans, the initial taxable value of the property located in TIF districts is “frozen” in place.
“Taxing districts within the TIF have access to only the ‘frozen’ value when their tax rates are calculated,” according to a TIF primer produced by the Cook County Clerk’s office.
“If there is any increase in EAV within the TIF, the Clerk will then calculate that value growth, or ‘increment’, that occurs in a TIF each year. That increment is multiplied by the composite tax rate of all the taxing districts in the TIF to establish the amount of incremental revenue to be directed to the TIF.”
Municipalities can then use that incremental revenue to pay for a variety of activities designed to improve the area within the TIF, which is typically designated as blighted and lacking sufficient economic activity.

The funds can be spent on activities like building rehabilitation, property demolition, site preparation, utilities and road improvements and environmental cleanup. Although funds can be spent on business facade improvements and remodeling, the funding cannot be spent directly on funding new private construction costs, Iosue said.
He added that the main reason the village is seeking to consolidate the 17th Avenue and Roosevelt Road TIFs into a single TIF is to address the deteriorating buildings, inadequate utilities, lack of planning and declining property values in the area.
Iosue explained that there’s a significant need for alley improvements, street repairs and water main repairs along Roosevelt Road. He added that a lack of planning in the area has resulted in “irregular parcel sizes [and] improper platting of parcels and rights-of-way,” among other consequences.
Iosue also pointed out that the equalized assessed value (EAV), an indication of the area’s total taxable value, has declined in three of the last four years.
During the Dec. 5 public hearing, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson said the village has no plans to dispel any residents or by any residential property located in the proposed consolidated TIF area. She added that any future development proposals would be subject to full village review, which typically includes public hearings and review by the village board.
Before the village board approves the TIF proposal, it has to be reviewed by a Joint Review Board that includes nine taxing bodies, including Cook County, Broadview, Proviso Township, the library and park districts, and the elementary, high school and community college districts. The Joint Review Board unanimously voted in November in favor of recommending the TIF proposal be approved by the village board.
Most of the community members present during the Dec. 5 hearing spoke in favor of the proposed TIF district. Some attendees, including Mayor Thompson, pointed to current developments on Roosevelt Road, including the Broadview Family Restaurant at 2417 Roosevelt Rd., that were helped by TIF funding.
“A lot of our infrastructure improvements up and down that corridor were because of the TIF funding,” said Matthew Ames, Broadview’s public works director who said he was speaking as a resident. “We were creative most certainly in getting federal, county and state dollars, but that alone is not enough to do the improvements that are necessary for our infrastructure.”
Before the TIF proposal goes to the village board for final approval, there needs to be a housing impact study conducted. The proposal also requires the approval of three difference ordinances. The village will hold another public hearing on the matter on Dec. 19, 6:30 p.m. at Broadview Village Hall, 2350 S. 25th Ave. in Broadview.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — An Albany-based financial institution is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to address food insecurity. Broadview Credit Union is providing $500,000 to help 51 food banks and shelters in the Capital Region and around New York State.
It comes as inflation continues to impact local charities. Natasha Pernicka, the executive director of the Food Pantries for the Capital District, said 80 percent of its pantries are seeing an increased need this year, and half of them are worried about not having enough food this winter.
Donations like the one made Thursday can make a big difference.
“Food pantries need money,” Pernicka said. “Food drives are incredible, and we need food. But pantries’ dollars go a lot farther than your dollar when you go to a store to do a food drive. The pantries’ dollars go a lot farther.”
If you’re interested in donating, or are in need of help, you’re urged to reach out to your local food pantry.
