Karen Yarbrough, Cook County Clerk, dies at 73

‘We have lost one of the brightest lights in the public service arena,’ said Cedric Giles, Cook County’s chief deputy clerk

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough, 73, died April 7 after being hospitalized last week in critical condition with an undisclosed illness.

Yarbrough was first elected Cook County Clerk in 2018 as the first woman and African American to hold the position and was re-elected in 2022. Her duties included overseeing the county’s election processes, administering records and maintaining tax maps.

“We have lost one of the brightest lights in the public service arena in Cook County and the State of Illinois, and we will never be quite the same,” said Chief Deputy Clerk Cedric Giles, who is stepping into her position, in a statement.

Yarbrough served as Illinois State Representative for the 7th District starting in 2001 and was assistant majority leader in 2011 and 2012. She became Cook County’s Recorder of Deeds in 2012 and worked in the position until 2018.

“Karen Yarbrough was dedicated to serving the people of this county and committed to fair ness in the critical role of counting votes in our elections,” said Timothy C. Evans, chief judge of the Cook County Circuit Court, who swore in Yarbrough as clerk, in a statement. “She was a true public servant and will be greatly missed.”

With decades of experience in Illinois politics, Yarbrough also had a well-known presence in the western suburbs. She served as a Proviso Township committeeperson, helping manage voter re gistration and community forums and electing county board commissioners.

Her father, Donald Williams Sr. was Maywood’s second Black mayor, and her older brother, Donald Williams Jr., a May-

Karen Yarbrough

mayor of Maywood.

“A trailblazer, Karen Yarbrough always represented her hometown of Maywood with poise, class and an unwavering commitment to be a voice for the people in her elected positions,” officials said in a statement on the Village of Maywood’s website.

“Maywood has been tremendously blessed by her presence and her devoted and impactful service to mankind. Her beautiful spirit will continue to live on in the lives of those of those who call the Village of Eternal Light home.”

“My heart goes out to the people of Maywood and the family of my dear friend, Karen Yarbrough. For decades, Proviso Township could always count on the fact

rnment,” said Senate President Don Harmon in a statement. “Her long tenure in public life and multiple leadership positions in the Democratic Party were no accident. They were the product of hard work, dedication and a deep affinity for the wellbeing of others.”

“I first met Karen nearly three decades ago and have admired her ever since,” Harmon added. “She had an infectious enthusiasm for people and her mere presence brought ease, comfort, stability and warmth to every room and any situation.”

“My thoughts and prayers are with Henderson, her family, and all of us reeling tonight from losing one of our dear friends and most steadfast partners in the pursuit of a better community.”

e right tools make the di erence

The cedar-lined closet is finished. However the jour ney to be able to take on such a project was one of many lessons lear ned.

Almost 40 years ago, I can re member sitting on the floor in my bedroom putting together a kitchen set for my daughter It was the top of the line model from Sears, and it came in three boxes. It was made of metal and I can still remember the rawness of my hands as I used a screwdriver to put the thing together.

At that moment I saw all those pieces and declared I would never, ever, be handicapped by not having the proper tool. So when Sears put their drill on sale,

I bought it. It was heavy and it plugged in, but it could do the job.

Once I bought my home, I began to collect the power tools I would need, such as a circular saw because something always needs to be cut. As the years went past I purchased a miter saw as well as a table saw. Each saw serves a specific function. The miter saw is a necessity when you are doing crown molding. The table saw just has the capacity to cut large pieces. The circular saw was basically for my handyman. To this day it still scares me. And it should. Saws can be dangerous!

Over the years, battery-operated drills began to come down in price. I have four and at times I have three of them in rotation because I don’t have to change the bits. One can have the drill bit, one can ve the screwdriver, and the other can ve a socket bit.

There is an expense to purchasing tools, so I highly recommend using online sites, garage sales, and estate sales to find the tools you need. Many folks will take on a project, buy the top-of-theline tools, and then decide that they’re eally not interested in it or once they’re one they don’ t want to keep the tools. ve come across some absolute bargains because of it. If someone knows how to do the work but doesn’t have tools, they’re at a big disadvantage

I couldn’t have done my closet without a Brad nailer. Although one can glue the individual cedar liners in place, I prefer the sturdiness of nailing it. I think taking on lining the closet can be a great first-time project for the novice. My closet I think is 10 feet by 2 feet. The cedar really helps to freshen up the interior and cedar will naturally keep bugs away

It’s a project that can add value to your home and you get to enjoy it.

Maryville Crisis Nurser y plants pinwheels for child abuse prevention month

The emergenc y childcare resource center provides programs for parents on the West Side and the surrounding Chicagoland area

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

Pinwheels symbolize simple times and the carefree innocence of youth.

That’s why Maryville Crisis Nursery, a temporary emergency childcare and family resource center in Northwest Chicago, planted them in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Officials decorated white planters with blue-and-silver pinwheels at the Augustus

Tolton Peace Center, a Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago building in Austin, where the Crisis Nursery houses its parenting center.

The pinwheels represent “the innocence of childhood and the whimsical nature of children,” said Tricia Fitzgerald, program director at Maryville Crisis Nursery, who will plant additional pinwheels in the ground outside of the center. “Children are our future, and all children deserve a safe, happy, and healthy childhood.”

Maryville Crisis Nursery has planted pinwheels annually in April since it opened in 2006, wearing blue while doing so as a symbol of child abuse prevention month. While there are seven Crisis Nursery locations in Illinois, the Maryville site is the only one in the Chicagoland area, and the only one to offer progr ams in Austin.

The Maryville Crisis Nursery provides free crisis childcare and a safe and nur turing environment for kids under the age

7. Their services — such as the nursery, where children can stay for 30 days a year — aim to improve parenting skills and reduce parental stress through earchildhood education. The Crisis Nursery has had more than 11,000 child admissions since its inception through last year.

At the center, the Crisis Nursery offers programs and referrals to parents, plus holds oneon-one case management and monthly support groups.

After planting the pinwheels, ttendees headed upstairs for a financial education workshop for parents, since April is also national financial literacy month.

“We are very committed to the neighborhood and the area,” Fitzgerald said ofthe Austin community. “It’s important that they know that we’re a resource.” She added, “They can call us, any families, when they’re in need.”

Parents experiencing an emergency or crisis, like domestic violence, homelessness, medical issues or unemployment, can contact the Crisis Nursery’s 24-hour helpline at (773) 205-3637.

VIOLENCE

‘Enough

is enough’ from page 1

to gun violence.

“If this rampant and ne gative crime and violence continues to plague distressed neighborhoods across the city’s West and South Side, then these communities are facing uncertain futures. This is completely unacceptable,” Emma Mitts, alderman of Chicago’s 37th Ward, said in a statement. “After decades of rising crime and deteriorating for tunes in parts of Chicago’s once vibrant areas, we need fresh, new novel approaches to addressing our pressing community public safety challenges.”

The march comes after the violent weekend. On March 31, four young women were shot and Murphy was killed at Poppy’s Chat Room on West Madison Street just after 1 a.m. That afternoon, four other people were shot in the 400 block of North Lavergne Avenue. Johnveir Winn-McKeever, 16, died at Mount Sinai Hospital.

The shooters contributed to the city’s deadliest weekend of 2024, according to the Chicago Sun-Times

Last year, 2,948 people were victims of shootings in Chicago, according to the city’s violence reduction dashboard. The most shootings in any of the city’s neighborhoods occur red in Austin — 226 of them. The next highest number of shootings was 166 in North Lawndale.

Such violence has led to organizers putting on marches and gatherings like the one in the 37th Ward, even before the devastating shootings over Easter weekend. On April 13, the Columbus Park Advisory Council, plus community partners and sponsors, are hosting the 16th annual anti-gun violence prayer vigil at Columbus Park from 3 to 7 p.m.

Also on April 13, the Westside Block Club Association, in partnership with the 7th Platoon Jeep Club, will hold a March for Peace, which was planned over a month ago. It will start at 11 a.m. at 3800 West Madison, then head west to Kilpatrick Avenue and Madison Street before turning around to the starting point. The march is the first in a series of initiatives from the Westside Block Club Association to promote community unity and fight local gun violence.

Other initiatives include connecting atrisk individuals, who might be committing crimes, to employment opportunities

by preparing and training them for interviews and connecting them with employers. Another is creating events on the West Side to keep locals out of trouble and reduce shootings.

Shawnetta Murry — a West Side resident and organizer who graduated from Austin High School in 1989 and now works with the school to increase enrollment and fundraise for student fees — remembers attending social events like skating and bowling when she was a teenager.

“We had so many different activities that we could be involved in. They don’t have activities,” Murry said of today’s younger generation. “We have to do a better job of engaging our children.”

Current students, alumni and administration of Austin High School, where two victims of the shootings over Easter weekend attended, are invited to the March for Peace April 13.

“I want to make sure that we’re giving back and we’re giving tools to help these youth become successful,” Murry added. “We want to do things that create value because if you don’t have value, you have no respect. And if you don’t have respect, you can’t respect life.”

Summer initiatives to reduce gun violence

The number of shootings usually increases with warmer weather. In 2023, 82 murders occur red from May 1 to Sept. 1 in Austin, North Lawndale, Garfield Park and Humboldt Park, according to Talei Thompson, who founded the Westside Block Club Association about three years ago and collected the data from the City of Chicago and district council members of the 11th District of the Chicago Police Department.

This is why the Westside Block Club Association organized a gang truce among four of the six street organizations on the West Side this summer. Thompson met with people of influence from the four street organizations in March. They ag reed to attend the march April 13 and to cease fire from May 1 through August.

“They were very transparent with us, letting us know what they can do, who they can help and lead, and then also that they can’t maybe get to everyone,” Thompson said. “Our only reason for doing this is to work together collectively to reach all of the youth in our community who may be at risk, or may be participating in this type

of life, to let them know our goal is to have zero murders.”

Chicago-based nonprofit Violence Inter rupters also accesses people of influence in a similar ef fort to decrease conflict among street organizations. Their model has been used in 15 Chicago neighborhoods and is currently being implemented in Austin and Maywood.

As far as how residents can help reduce gun violence in their neighborhoods, “they need to be responsible,” Murry said. “If you see something, you say something.”

Both Murry and Thompson are part of the block club for the 4200 and 4300 blocks of Jackson Boulevard and communicate with their neighbors whenever violence happens on their street.

“I am encouraging that we immediately begin bringing together a wide variety of stakeholders in areas of need across Chicago,” Mitts said in a statement, “rallying neighborhood residents, police officers, housing authorities, community service providers, nonprofit agencies, local schools, investors and business owners to confront local challenges in a targeted and highly collaborative manner — before summer starts.”

part of the Forest Park branch of the CTA Blue Line.

The other $2 million-grant to address the needs of neighborhoods surrounding I-290. This planning quires Chicago to discuss with community members to develop a plan for the money.

“This is good progress, but the project is over $6 billion,” said John Greuling, deputy director of the I-290 Blue Line Coalition, a nonprofit founded in 2022 to advocate for funding for 13 miles of multimodal transportation, including the Eisenhower Expressway and CTA Blue Line.

“We’re going to need a lot of help from the [federal government] moving he added about the $2 million will address the separation of ties caused by I-290’s original construction.

While the Forest Park branch of the CTA Blue Line has seen routine maintenance since much of it was constructed in 1958,

“By prioritizing investments in infrastructure that reconnects rather than divides, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future where every resident of the West Side can thrive.”

U.S. SEN. DICK DURBIN

a multi-year ef fort to rebuild a stretch of the track started last summer. This included rebuilding nearly three miles of track between the LaSalle Street Station and Illinois Medical District. Reconstruction of the Racine station followed so that the stop meets accessibility guidelines, and the station will reopen by the end of the year.

The $111 million grant announced last month will fund work to begin in 2027 and focus on the section of the track in East and West Garfield Park.

The Reconnecting Communities Pilot

Program started through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which President Biden signed in November 2021 to authorize up to $108 billion to improve the nation’s public transportation, including aspects of safety, modernization, climate impact and equity. The law marks the largest federal public transportation investment in the history of the U.S.

The pilot program aims to fund $1 billion in projects, from its inception through the next two years or so. It’s the first federal program devoted to reconnecting communities by amending transportation infrastructure that has historically restricted neighborhoods from mobility and economic development.

In 1949, construction started on the Congress Expressway, which was renamed the Eisenhower Expressway in 1964. The Near West Side was the first to be cleared

for the highway’s path, and Garfield Park and Austin followed. The neighborhoods were partitioned with construction, affecting the routines of daily life.

Chicago’s stretch of I-290 was complete by 1956, and construction moved to the suburbs, into Oak Park. In Forest Park, about 3,500 graves were moved from Concordia Cemetery and Forest Home Cemetery so that the expressway could run through them.

“Historically, Chicago’s West Side has been separated by the imposing physical barriers of I-290, which not only divides neighborhoods, but stifles economic growth and social cohesion,” said U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin in a statement. “By prioritizing investments in infrastructure that reconnects rather than divides, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future where every resident of the

West Side can thrive.”

The expressway’s construction also may have contributed to the racial makeup of Chicago’s West Side. From the start of construction to the time I-290 was completed in 1961, neighborhoods surrounding the Eisenhower increased from around 18% to 32% Black, then 64% by 1970. This infrastructure partition, along with other factors impacting white flight from Chicago, affects these communities at higher rates.

“As a strong proponent of modernizing our state’s transportation infrastructure, I also believe that progress shouldn’t come at the expense of working communities’ livelihoods, businesses, and physical health,” said U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth in a statement. “I’m glad to help Senator Durbin announce this funding to help restore resources and community connectivity on the West Side of Chicago.”
