Mohr Concrete closed, faces financial woes Oak Park working with company on future plans By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER
H
Staff Reporter
.J. Mohr & Sons Co., an industrial concrete manufacturing company opened in 1893 – one of the oldest in the state – has had its doors closed since February and may never reopen – at least not under the same name. Karen Richards, a principle of Mohr & Sons, said the company is currently working with a lawyer to chart a path for the business’s future, but a confidentiality agreement precluded her from revealing more. “It’s just breaking my heart because we’ve been there since 1893,” she said. Mohr Concrete sits on nearly a block at Harlem Avenue and Garfield Street. The industrial use has been both an oddity and a source of some contention with Oak Park and Forest Park neighbors. Oak Park Mayor Anan Abu-Taleb said in a telephone interview that the village has been in touch with Mohr & Sons for over a year about their future plans, but he was short on details about the privately held company. “We’ve been in contact with Mohr and we value the business they’ve done in our community for decades,” he said. “They’ve been an excellent contributor to our community. “We hope they end up with the outcome that is desirable for them.” He added that the village “stands ready to help See MOHR on page 8

Despite the snowing, Empowering Gardens keeps growing
I
can remember when April showers came in liquid form. I’m not a horticulturist but suspect that April’s blizzards and snow showers are not bringing May flowers. Rather than cursing the cold, the folks at Empowering Gardens Inc. (EGI) held a heartwarming event to raise funds for the nonprofit. Marissa Gott and her friend, Caitlin Coan, spearheaded the April 7 gathering at Goldyburgers. Though they don’t work for EGI, they jointly celebrated their birthdays to draw family and friends to the fundraiser. It was a rousing success, generating $5,000 toward EGI’s goal of building a year-round greenhouse. Last year, Marissa used her 30th birthday to raise money for the cause. By joining forces with Caitlin, they doubled the number of supporters. About 150 guests came to party at the tavern. They traveled from as far away as Indiana and Michigan. Kids played with chalk and bubbles and bashed a piñata on the patio. Adults savored the donated food and drinks. Old School provided pulled pork and mac ’n’ cheese. Jimmy Johns chipped in with sandwiches. Waldo Cooney’s dished out pizza. Lagunitas, Revolution and Miller Coors came up with the free suds. The birthday girls even designed a special drink for the occasion: “The Intention” combined Tito’s vodka, kombucha tea and agave nectar. Marissa estimated they collected $4,000 worth of donated goods. These gifts didn’t magically material-

an underlying spirit of contributing to a great cause. Caitlin is a more recent convert than Marissa. The two met while teaching at Ahimsa Yoga Studio. Marissa told Caitlin how EGI employed adults with a wide range of mental disabilities. She inspired her new friend to take part in something bigger than herself. What really sealed the deal for Caitlin was co-teaching a yoga workshop, on “Giving Tuesday,” at EGI’s winter store. The space at 7415 Madison was generously donated by Art Sundry. Marissa is also thankful for how the folks at EGI made her feel at home when she moved to Forest Park. The staff members were welcoming and knowledgeable and they became like family. In fact, she believes she landed in Forest Park for the purpose of helping EGI grow. For Caitlin, working on behalf of EGI has been a breath of fresh air. It’s the kind of work that doesn’t pay her bills but nourishes her soul. Marissa and Caitlin have created a community of like-minded people, who are invested in keeping EGI’s doors open and the plants Submitted photo growing.

Meditation with Perspiration: Local Yoga to open April 13 Ashtanga, Vinyasa and more offered at new Madison Street studio By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter
If you think that yoga is just sitting in a lotus position and chanting “ohm” for an hour, prepare to be surprised by Local Yoga, a new studio that opens at 7234 Madison Street on April 13. “By the end of the class you’ll be dripping with sweat, not because it’s hot in the room but because you’ll be building internal heat,” said Jill Jerome, co-owner. “This type of yoga builds strength and flexibility, and because it’s cardiovascular, you’ll be sweating.” Jerome, of Oak Park, teaches Vinyasa Yoga, which she said is not a sleepy, gentle yoga but a powerful, athletic workout. Classes start with a brief chanting of “ohm”— what she referred to as a prayer of gratitude for the present—and then segue into a series of postures intended to link body movement and breathing and “get you out of your head.”
“Then, you are in a state where you can meditate without fidgeting,” she said. “The movement you were doing gets you to a place where you can sit quietly.” Jerome got into teaching yoga by accident. Now 47, she said she worked in corporate America for 12 years and, in her free time, liked to run and compete in triathlons. But, the competitive sports caused her to sustain multiple injuries. A friend suggested she try yoga as a way of healing, and she became hooked after the first class. “It opened up a whole new world for me,” she said. “A few years after that I started thinking seriously about incorporating it more into my life, and a few years after that I took a leap and became a teacher myself.” Jerome is now a certified yoga teacher and registered with an organization called the Yoga Alliance, International, a nonprofit advocacy organization that trains teachers and supports yoga schools. Jerome then went on to open her first studio in 2012 in

At Local Yoga, she said she plans to feature Vinyasa Yoga at most classes, but will also offer some sessions of Ashtanga Yoga, which offers a slower sequence of postures and focuses more on meditation. Every other Friday she plans to host live cello or guitar players to perform while attendees bend
and stretch. Jerome and her business partner Angela Corvo said they intend to charge $17 per class and less than $100 for a monthly membership of unlimited classes. The first 25 people who sign up will get a membership for $75. Jerome said she plans to offer businesses in town a special rate of $50 for a monthly membership.
Police hire new top dog Madison, a German short-hair pointer, will provide narcotics detection support By ROBERT J. LIFKA Contributing Reporter
Submitted photo
NOTHING TO WOOF AT: Madison joins the Forest Park police force.
Following in the pawprints of Hammer, Sam, Bear, Diesel and Killian, the Forest Park Police Department’s new police dog is Madison, a 1-1/2-year-old female German short-hair pointer. Unlike her predecessors, Madison is not trained in suspect apprehension. However, police Chief Tom Aftanas said she is fully trained in narcotics detection. He added that Madison is not aggressive, a change from the behavior of Killian, her immediate predecessor, who was retired in August following two biting incidents. Officer Dan Miller is Madison’s handler, a duty he also performed with Killian, Diesel and Bear. “It’s exciting,” Miller said. “It’s a new challenge.” He said Madison was imported from Croatia to Shallow Creek Kennels in Pennsylvania and purchased from Shallow Creek Kennels for $9,250. Miller and Madison began training at Full Circle K9 Training Services in Plainfield in January. The village council Monday approved a training services agreement with Full Circle, which will provide
two eight-hour training days per month for $250 per month. After passing her State of Illinois and North American Police Work Dog Association certifications, she and Miller were on duty in early March. When Killian was retired in August, Aftanas said he was holding off making the decision whether to replace him with another dog. He said Miller suggested replacing Killian with a narcotics detection dog, which Miller said would be an alternative to stopping the program completely. Aftanas said he was originally unaware of any police departments in the western suburbs using a police dog strictly for drug detection but then learned about Franklin Park’s police dog, Voodoo. A member of that department since November 2016, Voodoo also is not trained in suspect apprehension and not aggressive. After being told “nothing but positive things” by the Franklin Park police chief, Aftanas approved the suggestion. Miller said he and Madison are still adjusting to working together. For himself, he said a pointer is “a lot different” than a German shepherd, which was the breed of previous police dogs. And for
Madison, he said, “There’s a difference between training and street work.” Part of Madison’s training was learning commands in English. Miller explained that using foreign commands is beneficial for a dog trained in suspect apprehension since suspects are not likely to know commands in a foreign language and therefore not likely to be able to stop a dog from chasing or biting them. However, since Madison is only being used to search for drugs, she was trained with English commands. “She’s a great dog,” Miller said. “I’ve got no complaints.” Aftanas said Madison, who also responds to being called Maddie, was named after Forest Park’s main business street but only after he and Miller, two die-hard fans of the Chicago Cubs, considered names with connections to their favorite baseball team. If Forest Park needs a police dog’s suspect apprehension services, Aftanas said they would make a mutual aid request to neighboring police departments. He said police departments in Berwyn and Oak Park have canine units trained in suspect apprehension. Aftanas said the department has had police dogs on and off since Hammer joined the force in the 1990s.

Short to-do list left for new Roos Rec Center Staff will soon plant a “sensory garden” outside the fitness center By NONA TEPPER Staff Reporter
All that’s left to be done are odds and ends at the soon-to-be-revealed Roos Recreation Center, which opens to the public on May 26. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on grand opening day, a magician, face-painters, and more will be on hand so curious community members can come in and take a first look at their new recreation facility, which has been under construction for nearly a year. Staff recently took down the temporary fence that surrounded Roos during construction, showing off freshly laid sod, bike racks and fix-it station. Once the weather breaks, workers will also plant a sensory garden outside Roos, which will include herbs that people can taste, smell and even hear, as well as a section to attract butterflies. Another soon-tocome attraction is the ninja obstacle course — staff still need to add the final nuts, bolts and make sure no screws are loose before tweens start climbing. “We’ve gone through it a hundred times, but there’s no problem with 101 or 103 times to make sure our kids are safe,” said Larry Piekarz, executive director of the Park District of Forest Park. Signage will also soon be installed at Roos, along with a painting between the two old pillars from the factory that once stood on the site. The painting will tell the story of the site and include a thank-you to the village. The gym floor is also near completion and ready for volleyball and basketball players to start bopping. Exercise equipment should also be added to the fitness room in
Unstoppable innovation We believe both leading edge and simple alternatives create medical pathways to healthier lives.
Digitally connected doctors and friendly therapy dogs are only a few of the innovative ways we seek to improve the coming weeks, along with sanitizer stations for users to clean the equipment. The park district’s current fitness room will permanently close April 13. A vending machine stocked with Gatorade and water has also been installed outside the fitness room, near the entrance of Roos. “We didn’t want a big Pepsi machine; we wanted something with healthy alternatives,” Piekarz said.

FOOD PANTRY Library

St., sweat dripping from his face as he dug into the ground and facilitated the installation of a new “Little Free Food Pantry” outside 7555 Jackson Blvd. on April 7. A play on the “Little Free Library” concept — “We’re already a library,” joked Director Pilar Shaker — the new pantry holds personal care items and canned goods, is intended for anyone in need, and was installed just in time for National Library Week, April 8-14. The new cabinet complements the larger food pantry at the Howard Mohr Community Center across the street, and is intended for those who lack proper documentation for the Community Center’s pantry, feel embarrassed asking for help, come by during off-hours, or all of the above. “We’re seeing an increasing number of people asking to be connected to resources to meet their immediate needs — shelter, food, etc.” Shaker said. Kunkel built the Little Free Food Pantry free of charge, librarians bought the stocked canned goods and personal care items and Boy Scouts from Forest Park, Maywood and Brookfield earned service hours for installing the new cabinet.
“I can envision other food pantries going up around town,” said Kunkel, who offers service hours and merit badges to local Boy Scouts for learning traditions like salami curing, meat smoking, CNC laser engraving and more. “You’ve got various societal problems, homelessness or whoever, and through exposing kids to history and generational rituals, we provide a short-term bridge gap” for the hungry, Kunkel said. It took an hour to dig 32 inches into the ground for the post, uncovering such treasures as shells, dimes and clay in the process. Scouts planted the pole, sanded the pantry’s foundation, and drilled the cabinet into place. Librarians will check and restock the cabinet once a day to make sure items posted are appropriate, and they plan to dip into their own pockets if products run low. Interested donors can also drop off donations at the library’s front desk. Nathaniel Edsell, of Brookfield, said his favorite part of the process was digging the hole and finding the shell. “No comment,” replied his twin brother Ben about his brother’s Altoid tin, spring and shell collection of found items. The boys were happy to earn the service hours and help those in need. What did they learn from the experience? “That I should do these things more,” Nathaniel Edsell said, adding, “I like digging holes and hitting things, so this was really fun.”

Forest Park family ties from page 1 them in any way we can.” Abu-Taleb said the company has reached out to the village to keep officials informed about the company’s future and their intentions. “I value that relationship,” he said. Asked what his hopes are for the future of the property, whether it is sold to another concrete manufacturing company or a different entity, Abu-Taleb said, “My preference has always been for the community as a whole, as long as we achieve what is best for the taxpayer.” “We’re trying to figure out what is the best use of such a valuable property,” he said. Abu-Taleb said he does not know why the company closed its doors earlier this year. “They are veterans in making good business decisions, and I trust their judgment on what they’ve chosen to do.”
Oak Park Village Manager Cara Pavlicek said she was not privy to the inner business dealings of the company, but confirmed that the business was not located within the boundaries of the Harlem Tax Increment Finance District – a special taxation district in the area – which was retired in 2017. That special tax district, therefore, would have no bearing on any future decisions by the village associated with the land occupied by Mohr & Sons. The family owned business was established by H.J. Mohr, who went on to become the first mayor of Forest Park. In 1950, his grandson, Howard R. Mohr, started a heating-oil company called Mohr Oil. H.J. Mohr & Sons Co. has faced some controversy over the years, most notably in 2005, when neighbors complained about the unsightly nature of the business. Residents wanted Mohr to landscape the area around its facility and do something to improve the look of a concrete wall around the facility.

Police responded to a fight at Doc Ryan’s Saloon about 1:49 a.m. on April 6, according to a police report. Doc Ryan’s doorman told police he was asking people to leave because it was closing time, when three men started fighting Doc Ryan’s staff. Police entered the bar and saw several employees restraining a man. Police told employees to back off and, after staff let go, the man and two companions started shoving employees. Police escorted the men from the bar. The men started yelling that the Doc Ryan’s doorman started the fight, and got frustrated at police, with one yelling, “Get the [expletive] away from me.” The offender then punched an officer in his chest and arm. Police tased the man twice and transported the group to the Forest Park Police Department. The men told police they were at Doc Ryan’s for a birthday party. When the doorman told them to leave, he said they “better not talk any slick stuff.” The men asked what he meant, and the doorman allegedly said he knew they were in a gang and he would fight them. That’s when fists started swinging. The men were charged with criminal trespass to property, battery and resisting a peace officer.

Purse snatched from Jeep
Armed man steals phone from parked car
A woman’s purse was stolen from her car after she ran into Planet Fitness, 7530 Roosevelt Road, to change clothes on April 2. The woman told officers she entered the facility about 5:27 p.m., leaving her purse in the car, according to a police report. About 10 minutes later, the woman returned to her Jeep to find the car alarm ringing and the purse missing. Her purse contained her driver’s license and credit cards from Amazon.com, Chase Bank, Capital One, Discover and PayPal. She later received two text messages from Chase Bank about fraudulent activity on her card, at Berwyn Fuel Shop for a charge of about $50 and McDonald’s for a charge of about $48. Officers found no signs of forced entry to her vehicle.

A Chicago man was arrested for indecent exposure outside Blueberry Hill Tavern, 427 Desplaines Ave., on April 3. A witness inside told police the man stood outside the bar about 2:50 a.m., undid his pants and began to stroke his genitals, according to a police report. When police arrived, the man had his pants unzipped and told police he was just watching TV through the window. Police asked for the man’s identification and he said he didn’t have any. Officers transported him to the police department, where they later found a social
Man pulls gun on towing attendant A man threatened a Nobs Towing employee with a gun, after being told he would need to pay hundreds of dollars to retrieve his car from the lot. The man arrived about 10:05 a.m. at 805 Hannah Ave. on April 3 to retrieve his car from the towing agency, according to a police report. An employee told him it would cost $800 to pick up his car from the lot since it had been sitting there for nearly a month. The man became irate, telling the attendant it should only cost him $200, and warning he had a gun and was going to get his car. A Nobs employee called 911. Officers arrived and placed the man in handcuffs. He told police, “I tried to scare them and it didn’t work.” He said he did not have a gun but was charged with aggravated assault.
A man threatened a woman with a gun and stole her phone, after climbing into her car on April 3. She had parked at her Circle Avenue home about 6:40 p.m., and stayed in her car for a few extra minutes to listen to something on the radio, according to the police report. She reported seeing a man wearing a dark stocking walk next to her car. He entered through an unlocked door and demanded money. The woman told him she didn’t have any money, and that the only thing she had of value was her iPhone 8. The man took her phone and fled on foot. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, April 1-8, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

Forest Park Go Green hosts clean-up Learn to use Litterati, clean village at upcoming event By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter
Forest Park’s fledgling Go Green group will be sponsoring a Forest Park Clean-Up event on Earth Day, Sunday, April 22. As the name of the event implies, residents are invited to gather at 1 p.m. at the Forest Park Public Library, 7555 Jackson Blvd., before fanning out to clean up the litter that has accumulated during the winter. For more information, you can email Lucia Whalen of Go Green Forest Park at whalenlucia@gmail.com. The main goal of the event, said Whalen, is to raise awareness of environment issues and the Go Green group’s involvement in addressing those issues on a local level. Whalen said she especially wants kids to be involved. She will be teaching them how to use an app called Litterati on which users document where trash exists in their towns by taking pictures of it. Whalen said her group has been focusing on the creation of a village sustainability commission, improving recycling in Forest Park and getting businesses to focus on improving the local environment.
Talk focuses on toxins in food supply “Stop eating yourself sick!” warns the poster advertising a free lecture sponsored by Go Green Oak Park about “protecting your family from toxic chemicals and other dangers in our food supply” to be given by soil scientist and genetic scientist Thierry Vrain at Trinity High School, 7574 Division St. in River Forest, on Thursday, April 12 beginning at 7 pm. Vrain self-effacingly identifies himself as the resident gardener and chief weed puller at the Innisfree Farm, a botanic garden in British Columbia which uses probiotic techniques of building healthy soil microbiota to grow medicinal herbs and vegetables, fruits and nuts for sale. Oak Park resident Dr. Susan Buchanan, clinical associate professor and director of the Great Lakes Center for Children’s Environmental Health at the UIC School of Public Health, will moderate the discussion following Vrain’s talk. “Virtually 100 percent of Americans carry measurable pesticide residues and dozens of other chemicals in our blood streams,” Buchanan said. “In children especially, who generally have higher exposure and higher levels than adults, studies have shown effects on neurodevelopment and rates of certain cancers.” Although Vrain is a published scientist, Buchanan said that Vrain doesn’t talk like one. “His presentations,” she said, “are geared towards the general public, in the style of a Ted Talk. He is committed to spreading the word
about the extent of and the potential health effects of pesticides used in growing our food.” A post by Go Green Oak Park on the website Event On quoted Vrain as saying, “I became concerned a few years ago that there were so many scientific studies pointing the finger away from the GMO smokescreen. I am now publicly raising the alarm about the current excesses of industrial agriculture, particularly antibiotic contamination of en-
gineered crops and food.” Vrain is concerned with the effect genetically engineered crops and the use of Glyphosate (Round UP) are having on our health. “It’s almost as if the entire population of North American is on a low-grade antibiotic diet day in day out from birth, every day, so this is the reality,” Vrain is quoted as saying on the Event On website.

f you do, you should know how important foot care is. Over time, diabetics risk developing foot complications. When the nerves are damaged from chronic high blood sugar, feet can become numb or painful with burning or tingling. This is called diabetic neuropathy. When diabetes affects the arteries, circulation to the legs and feet may be compromised. Either of these conditions may lead to serious problems including ulceration, even amputation. The key to prevention is early diagnosis of diabetes, and regular foot exams from a podiatrist. Diabetics who receive regular foot care, including paring of calluses and debridement of thick fungal toenails, are almost four times less likely to undergo an

amputation than those who do not seek treatment. Medicare and some private insurances cover 1 pair of diabetic shoes and 3 pair of protective insoles each calendar year. Dr. Lambert has been a supplier of diabetic shoes since 2002. The shoes come in 30 different styles each for men and women. These include boots, lightweight colorful athletic shoes, and dress shoes. Even patients who are not diabetic love the look and comfort of the footwear. Diabetic socks, slippers and compression hosiery are also available. Protecting your feet with appropriate footgear is an important aspect of preventive care for diabetics.

Add some on trend color. Pantone’s color of the year is Ultra Violet, which makes a great outdoor accent. Try bringing some Ultra Violet to your garden with plants such as Allium, irises, hyacinths, lavender and pansies. Outdoor cushions or planters in a purple hue are an easy way to bring color to a patio.
Light up the night. Warmer weather and longer days means more time spent outside. Make your outdoor space shine with the addition of solar powered lights. Add a few strands of string lights or hang decorative lanterns for a festive atmosphere.

You are what you eat. You don’t need a lot of space to grow something for dinner. Fresh herbs thrive in planters and make it easy to cut a snip of rosemary to top that grilled chicken or some basil leaves for your salad Caprese. Small peppers and tomatoes are also easy to grow on a deck.
Blend outdoors and indoors to create and outdoor living room. Patio sets are no longer the heavy metal affairs that your grandparents kept outside. Today’s synthetic materials provide weather-proof metals and wickers that can withstand the elements and provide comfort. Outdoor rugs let you bring the pattern to the patio, and battery or power operated light and water features bring a bit of ambiance to the outdoors.

Spring cleaning 101 By Lacey Sikora
M
Contributing Reporter
ost of us remember our parents or grandparents engaging in ritual spring cleaning, but few of us feel like we have the time for a top to bottom overhaul every spring. Just because you’re stuck carpooling to endless spring t-ball games, doesn’t mean you can’t make your house look squeaky clean just in time for all of those spring time gatherings. A top five list will get your house in good-enough condition and save you from a week spent deep cleaning. Wash the windows. Whether you outsource to professionals or do the deed yourself, spring is a great time to wash the windows and literally let the sun shine in. If you’re in a rush, focus on the exterior of windows to remove the dirt and streaks from winter storms. Clear the decks. If you’re motivated, use a power washer, or if you’re in a hurry, grab a broom. Sweeping away the dirt, dust and bits of leaves from your deck, front porch or front stoop provides a clean entry way into your home. While you’re at it, trade in your faded doormat for a new model. Run hot and cold. Spring is a great time to dust off and clean your HVAC equipment. A professional can help with boiler, furnace and air conditioner maintenance, but you can do the cleaning yourself. Radiators and window units are phenomenal dust collectors. Taking the time once a year to remove dust within and under the units can make your house feel infinitely cleaner.
Apps that matter. There’s no substitute for elbow grease when it comes to kitchen appliances. Turn on your favorite tunes and take an hour to empty, organize and clean the refrigerator and freezer and then give the stove a good old-fashioned scrubbing inside and out. Microwave some lemon juice and water in a glass container for a minute and then easily wipe away accumulated splatters from its interior. Swap it out. Spring is the perfect time to take stock of closets and their contents. Swap out the snow boots for flip flops and cleats. Put away the down parkas and bring out the rain coats. While you’re in there, sweep the floor and donate any items that your family has outgrown this year.

Go Native. Native plants have been hot for years, but with the embrace of growing native flora comes the realization that you get more bang for your buck with native plants. Native plants can require less watering and fewer pesticides, and with careful planning can be a beacon to butterflies and birds.

River Forest’s most expensive block
Asking prices for homes on 900 block of Ashland Avenue top $3 million By LACEY SIKORA
W
Contributing Reporter
hat does it take to make a real estate sale over $3 million in River Forest? While there are no records of homes listed in the village ever selling for that amount or more, there are rumors that an off-market transaction or two might have gone for well over $3 million prior to the real estate recession of 2008. In terms of homes listed on the multiple listing service, four recent listings -- all on the same block -- are aiming to hit village records for sales prices.
The 900 block of Ashland Avenue is currently the priciest block in town, but other than square footage and high price points, the four most recent listings on the block do not have too much in common. With two newly built homes sharing what was once the almost one-acre site of the Mars Mansion and two older estates that sit prominently on lots of almost an acre each, these houses offer an interesting glimpse into a rarefied section on the market.
909 Ashland Ave. The most recent house to hit the market, 909 Ashland Ave., was listed on March 12
with Berkshire Hathaway for $3,495,000. Built in 1929, the English Tudor style home hasn’t been on the market in over 30 years. Inside its historic brick and limestone shell, the 12,000-square-foot home has been completed updated, with period details meticulously maintained. A modern kitchen and new bathrooms promise the ultimate in 21st century amenities. The master bedroom suite boasts his-and-her bathrooms, and other bedrooms have their own en suite bathrooms. Oldworld details remain such as the sweeping staircase, moldings, five fireplaces, wood See EXPENSIVE BLOCK on page B13

BIG NUMBER: The house at 909 Ashland Ave. (above) listed for almost $3.5 million in March. The 12,000-squarefoot home has two laundry rooms, a catering kitchen and a coach house.

EXPENSIVE BLOCK 1919 Classic from page B11 floors, French doors, limestone fireplace and paneled library. The home is built with two laundry rooms: one on the second floor and one in the basement. On top of a recreation room, the basement includes a second kitchen for catering. The pool comes with its own cabana that includes a full bathroom and wet bar, and the three-car garage is topped with a coach house for extra space.
914 Ashland Ave. Across the street, 914 Ashland Ave. has been on the market since June 2017 and was originally listed for $3,200,000. In January, listing agents at @properties dropped to the price to $2,875,000. The Italian Renaissance revival style home was built in 1919 and has a commanding presence on a lushly landscaped corner lot that measures 0.87 acres. The tiled roof and pale brick exterior with columns and a wide semicircular driveway give a hint of the Mediterranean in the western suburbs. A sunroom with coffered ceilings spans the rear of the house and offers great access to the private yard. Details such as French doors, intricate moldings and a grand staircase belie this home’s grand dame history. At 10,500 square feet, this house offers plenty of room to spread out with a total of six bedrooms, including three bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Unlike its competition across the street, 914 Ashland Ave. has not been recently renovated. Many bathrooms are in original condition and the kitchen, though updated at some point, bears the finishes of another era. Decorative touches such as wall-to-wall carpeting, paint choices, tiled floors and mirrored walls may call for updating by some interested buyer.
924 and 926 Ashland Ave. Just to the north of 914 Ashland Ave., sits more competition in terms of pricing, and these newly built houses offer a peak into the estate home of the future. Both homes are speculative ventures, built on the grounds of the former Mars Mansion. Home to the candy bar family of Franklin and Ethel Mars from the late 1920s to the mid-1940s, the house at 930 Ashland Ave. was designed in 1919 by architect Harry Franklin Robinson, a draftsman in Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio. By 2014, the seven-bedroom home needed a bit of updating when it was purchased by Avra Properties on Dec. 8, 2014 for $2 million. The developer razed the mansion to make way for two large homes of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 square feet apiece on the subdivided lot. See EXPENSIVE BLOCK on page B13
PHOTOS PROVIDED
MARKDOWN: Originally listed at $3.2 million, the 10,500-square-foot home at 914 Ashland Ave. is now on the market for $2,875,000 and offers tons of original details like coffered ceilings, a grand staircase and six bedrooms.

Market for mansions? from page B13
At the time of the demolition, historic preservationists in the community deplored the loss of the Mars Mansion, but the River Forest Historic Preservation ordinance does not permit denial of applications for demolition. When the newly built 924 Ashland Ave. hit the market in the summer of 2017, the asking price for the house was $3,685,000 million, the highest asking price at the time in the village. With approximately 8,291 square feet, the home offers up six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Shortly after 924 Ashland was listed, the developer completed 926 Ashland Ave. and priced it at $3,835,000. The house at 926 Ashland Ave. clocked in with seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms in over 9,000 square feet of space. In both houses, Bayit Builders implemented similar features, including highceiling basements with walkout access, large master bathrooms and closets, smarthome wiring, open kitchens, and wine and mudrooms. As of press time, both homes had been removed from active sale with no pending offers.
How high will they go? High-priced homes aren’t limited to the 900 block of Ashland Avenue. Just a block away, 1000 Ashland Avenue, has been on and off the market since 2015, when it first was listed at $4,500,000. Its most recently asking price is $3,099,900, and it remains to be seen just what the appetite is for high-end homes on this estatefilled street. Of the five highest recorded sales ever of single-family homes listed on the Multiple Listing Service in River Forest, four of the sales closed in 2007 or 2008, prior to the real estate market crash. The highest closed sales price ever for such a home was 1434 Ashland Ave., a 7,500-square-foot home built and sold in
PHOTOS PROVIDED
2008 that was listed at $3,200,000 and sold in 29 days for $2,775,000. The most recent sale to make the historic top five was 1255 William St., which was listed at $2,499,000 in 2016 and closed for $2,350,000 after several months on the
market. In 2017, River Forest’s highest sale for a single-family home was $1,875,000. It remains to be seen if 2018 will see an upsurge in high-end home sales and if so, if the 900 block of Ashland Avenue will lead the way.
NEW KID: The house at 924 Ashland Ave. (above) is one of two new luxury homes built on the former Mars Mansion property. Though traditional in design, the homes offer a full range of contemporary amenities, including professional kitchens, wine rooms, private outdoor terraces, smart-home electronics and more.

A new house number, a new street name, new neighbors. If you’re considering moving — whether across the street or across the country — I can help finance your new home, no matter where you’re moving to.
Brick stunner gets the modern treatment
S
mart design and high-quality renovation come together to create a striking and gracious home at 1227 Edmer in north Oak Park. Enter the home to bright new windows, gleaming wood floors, and an open, easy layout. The beautifully constructed new kitchen has highend appliances and sleek cabinetry. Upstairs you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with a full master bath. Other features include three full and one half new baths, a finished basement, updated mechanicals, a polished laundry room, and an office that doubles as an extra guest room. The exterior is just as stylish and functional as the interior. Marvin French doors off the dining room open to an expansive lighted tiered deck. A garden path winds through custom wood gates to a new 2.5 car garage. The spacious backyard has a brick paver patio that also doubles as a sport court. All this beauty sits on the best kept culde-sac in north Oak Park. A quick walk brings you within blocks of a Metra stop, great schools and sprawling parks. 1227 Edmer is currently listed at $697,000. For more information, contact Steve Scheuring, Baird & Warner (708) 369-8043.

Forest Park Review, April 11, 2018

OPINION O U R
V I E W
Concrete future
H
arlem Avenue is not exactly a calling card for either Forest Park or Oak Park. From north to south there are patches where these villages turn their hind end to the busy roadway. In other spots there have been long dilapidated homes and commercial properties. There are strip malls and a cemetery, fast food and a psychic. Then there is that damned cement factory. The 125-year-old H.J. Mohr & Sons concrete plant sits on the Oak Park side of Harlem at Garfield. Our sister paper in Oak Park reported last week that the business closed unexpectedly in February and that prospects for its sale or reopening are uncertain. We appreciate the warm feelings of residents who filled their kids’ sandboxes each spring at Mohr. We are moved by the online comments of Mohr staffers tracing their employment over generations at the plant. That said, Mohr Concrete is the ultimate anachronistic land use in a residential community and its likely passing is sad but not bad. We recall the multiple community meetings we covered over the decades with the plant’s immediate residential neighbors hollering about endless dust, all-hours truck traffic and the perpetually decaying outer perimeter of the plant. Its possible redevelopment can be another forward step in the slow reshaping of Harlem, particularly south of the Ike. The Forest Park side of this stretch of Harlem has seen notable market-driven upgrades these past years. The Review reported last year on the successful effort of a developer to reclaim a block’s worth of single family homes which had fallen into grave disrepair. This spring they look sharp. A nearby parcel which once housed a down-on-its-luck gas station has been cleared, we hope for new residential development. Closer to Garfield, there is an effort to assemble and redevelop another parcel. This is all to the good.
Library’s pantry
We’ve written about the Little Library movement. These are the small, front yard lending libraries on a stick. Take a book, leave a book. A good way to build community and foster literacy, you’ll find several of these small graces within Forest Park. But it wouldn’t make much sense to put a Little Library right outside Forest Park’s big library on Desplaines Avenue. So the creative and generous library folks, who are finding endless ways to foster connection with our village, have created a variation on the theme, thanks to local Boy Scout troops and Tom Kunkel from the Urban Pioneer Group. The library now features a very small, always open, food pantry at its front door. This is simple. Need something to eat? The small pantry will likely have some non-perishable but sustaining item of food for you. Have something extra in the cabinet at home? Drop it off, offer it up. Now right across the street at the equally connecting Howard Mohr Community Center, you’ll find the full-tilt local food pantry. Doing exceptional work for years, the Forest Park Food Pantry now has an upstart sibling at the library. This is a good town.
Time to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment
I
know what you’re thinking: didn’t the Equal Rights Amendment pass in the 1970s, back when mood rings and love beads were popular? Why are we bringing this up now? Because the ERA needed to be ratified by 38 states and as the years passed, the ERA fell three states short of ratification. Last March, Nevada ratified the ERA, leaving only two states to go. Illinois has a chance to be one of those two states this spring when the state legislature returns. That’s why. The operative language of the ERA is only 24 words: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” It is a simple declaration that discrimination on the basis of gender is not allowed. You might ask why, in this “progressive” era, we need the Equal Rights Amendment; don’t women already have equal rights? Certainly legislation has improved some situations for women since the 1970s. Yet there are substantial reasons to enact a Constitutional amendment even now. In Illinois, women earn 80 cents for every dollar earned by a man for the same work. At the current rate of increase, they would not reach equal pay until 2065. Figures for pay inequity are worse for African American and Hispanic women. So despite some legislative and cultural changes, women still lag economically and an Equal Rights Amendment would state a guarantee of equal treatment. Even more important, it would make equal rights indelible. Legislative changes have been a patchwork, potentially revocable by legislative whim or nullified by the courts. Moreover, the ERA would guarantee what the Supreme Court calls “strict scrutiny” of laws that could affect everyone on account of gender. Only when the Constitution has specifically prohibited discrimination by class, such as by race, has the Court applied this
highest level of inquiry. The lack of an Equal Rights Amendment allowed Justice Scalia, in 2010, to declare that the Constitution does not prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex. For that, he stated, “you have legislatures.” In other words, when sex discrimination occurs, you cannot seek redress based on the Constitution; instead you have to pass a law, and then pass another law, and then pass another law. Without the Equal Rights Amendment, people will continue to suffer discrimination and have to fight long and expensive legal or political battles. This simple amendment has the power to change that trajectory. It is simply the right thing to do. The Illinois state constitution already guarantees equal protection; the legislature should take the simple step of ratifying the federal constitutional amendment that would do the same. It’s time to do the right thing; it’s time to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.

Panton Eye Center Doctors Provide Latest Eye Care
T
he Panton Eye Center has provided state-of-the-art eye care for over fifty years. Board-certified ophthalmologists and optometrists offer comprehensive optical, medical, and surgical care including five treatment lasers. Peter J. Panton, M.D., senior surgeon, comments on the advances made in cataract surgery over the last several decades: “Cataract was once a blinding disease. Surgery required a lengthy hospitalization and patients wore thick spectacles post-operatively. That is a thing of the past. Today’s no-shot, no patch, no stitch cataract surgery allows the restoration of normal vision for nearly everyone. What we now consider routine was unimaginable just a generation ago.” Dr. Panton explains his subspecialty focus – refractive surgery – the total elimination of the need for glasses: “The refractive components of the eye are the cornea (in the front of the eye) and the lens (inside the eye). There are two major refractive procedures: (1) LASIK is the use of a laser to reshape the cornea; (2)

Refractive Cataract Surgery is the combination of the bifocal implant with no-shot cataract surgery. For both our LASIK patients and our Refractive Cataract Surgery patients, life without glasses is the anticipated outcome.” Robert W. Panton, M.D., fellowship-trained corneal surgeon, defines ALL LASER LASIK: “ALL LASER LASIK is the combination of two lasers to correct vision. The first makes a thin flap of cornea which is gently folded back. The second reshapes the cornea. The flap is repositioned without the need for stitches. Prior to surgery, the patient is able to see only the bigE. The morning after ALL LASER LASIK, the patient drives himself for his follow-up exam.” Elizabeth Panton Karkazis, O.D. explains how contact lenses complement refractive surgery in a comprehensive practice: “Teenagers are too young for LASIK and not every adult is a suitable candidate for LASIK. When surgery is not an option, contact lenses remain a valuable tool to satisfy a patient’s optical needs.”

Dr. Peter Panton Discusses ALL LASER LASIK Dr. Panton, What is ALL LASER LASIK? ALL LASER LASIK combines two vision enhancing technologies that provide an unprecedented level of safety, precision, and comfort. These technologies are: the Ziemer Laser for creating the flap and the WaveLight Excimer Laser for shaping a perfect corneal surface.
Dr. Peter J. Panton, a graduate of the Brown University School of Medicine, is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and former president of the Chicago Ophthalmological Society.

Problems common to other types of lasers such as glare, halos and decreased night vision have been virtually eliminated with Ziemer-WaveLight laser treatments. What will I experience during the laser treatment? Your eye is first numbed with eye drops, then the Ziemer creates a protective flap of cornea which is gently folded back. The WaveLight then reshapes your cornea in a matter of seconds. The protective flap is repositioned where it bonds securely without the need for stitches. By the following morning, most ALL LASER LASIK patients will be able to pass the driver’s license test without the need for glasses or contact lenses. How do I find out if ALL LASER LASIK is right for me? I invite you to visit the Panton Eye Center and see the Ziemer-WaveLight laser system. Our trained physicians can determine if these exciting technologies are right for you. We are able to evaluate, treat and follow-up our ALL LASER LASIK patients in one convenient location. All of your care will be personally directed by Dr. Panton. Call 708-452-7200 today for your free evaluation.
