Meet Cholonda Allen, emergency mom It takes ‘a lot of time and a lot of patience’ By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter

Forest Park resident Cholonda Allen has been a foster mom for 50 children since she began doing the work in 2006. Since June of last year, she has been in a special program called Emergency Homes in which she parents older children on what is supposed to be a short-term basis until permanent homes can be found for them. Allen’s niche in DCFS (Dept. of Children and Family Services) is working with kids with more needs than the average foster child. “Mine is a specialized foster home,” she explained. “The kids they place with me have behavioral issues and of of-

ten act out because that was the way of life in the home they were growing up in, and they have to be re-parented.” Allen teaches her foster kids that they do not have to be defined by the pain in their past. She tells them they have to “honor and respect” the pain but don’t get stuck in it because then they are doing it to themselves. “They can’t keep saying, ‘This happened, this happened, this happened,” she said. “A lot of what’s wrong now is that a lot of people are stuck in their pain, and they don’t know how to remove themselves from it and do something positive with it. I tell them that from this point on it’s up to them.” See FOSTER MOM on page 4

Haase and Di Febo, dreaming big

erdinand Haase was the “Daniel Burnham” of Forest Park. He was a visionary who made no small plans. He wrote a letter in 1863 describing his dream for Haase’s Park and for establishing a German settlement here. It’s a remarkable document advocating for a park, back when access to green space could be a matter of life or death. He described Chicago as a disease-ridden city with open sewers, plagued by poor air and water quality. He could picture city dwellers flocking to his park, “a piece of country with fresh air” and a wooded area with a bathing beach on the Des Plaines River. Conditions obviously have improved in Chicago, while the Des Plaines is currently not a desirable place to swim. But there is still a need for city dwellers to have a convenient nature preserve to visit. Ralph Di Febo sees many parallels between his plans for a Cultural Park at Altenheim and Haase’s proposal to create “the finest park in the vicinity of Chicago.” Like Haase, Ralph thinks big! Both men point to Forest Park’s proximity to railroads but, unlike the single spur that served Haase’s property, we now have three rail lines serving the village — not to mention an expressway that cuts through Haase’s former park. They both dreamed of a communitysponsored park that could be rented out for picnics and performing arts. Haase imagined a site for German festivals, while Ralph proposes a music venue, along the lines of the Ravinia Festival, each a potential money-maker for the village. “Without doubt, the park would bring big interest in money value,” Haase wrote. Ralph also foresees concerts and rentals providing a revenue stream for the park. However, making money is secondary to providing a “grandiose woods park” for the public. Haase imagined even “rich Americans looking longingly at Haase’s Park, as a country estate for themselves.” In Ralph’s case, he is hoping to obtain donations, or corporate sponsorship to provide seed money for the project. He also has the support of local political leaders, who spoke of providing government funding for the project. “We are trying to create a place similar to Haase’s dream,” Ralph said, “a green space that all could come and enjoy. The Cultural Park seeks to keep this property in the public domain forever.” Haase didn’t have the luxury of preserving all of his property as a park. Burdened by debt, he sold off large parcels that became Concordia Cemetery and Jewish Waldheim Cemetery.

(Right) The White Fawn was Ferdinand Haase’s boat, which he used for excursions on the Des Plaines River. He replaced Haase Park with Forest Home Cemetery. In this way, Haase insured that Forest Park would have abundant green space to this day. Cemeteries, though, are not intended for recreation. Ralph sees Cultural Park as a place where people can stroll walking paths, toss Frisbees, or listen to music. Unlike The Park on Harrison Street, which is primarily dedicated to sports, this would be a place for relaxation and contemplation. He sees it providing access to the river and serving as the trail head for the Prairie Path. In fact, the National Park Service has expressed an interest in preserving and utilizing the Des Plaines watershed, in conjunction with the Cultural Park plans.

“It takes,” she said, “a lot of time and a lot of patience.” She gets “rewarded” when she sees her older children becoming adults and parents and how they’ve learned from what they went through as children. “Some are going to school to be therapists and social workers,” she said. “It’s like they want to impact younger generations to take their pain and use it to help pull up others.” Allen received 84 hours of training from DCFS to be a specialized foster parent for children with special needs, but she felt that those two weeks were not enough, so she took college courses and earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology. “Those classes,” she said, “gave me a lot of tools that have helped in the way I interact with and discipline the children, helped me do it in a more positive and helpful way.” She has empathy for the kids she re-parents because she’s been there. “I’ve been putting the puzzle of my own life together,” she said. “I now understand why I went through a lot of the stuff I went through when I was growing up. What I had to learn was to be thankful and to understand that it wasn’t me that caused the situation. I buried what

school hours and will offer information about academic opportunities, curriculum and school resources. “We want parents to be treated as partners,” D209 Supt. Jesse Rodriguez said. “It appeared to me parents were treated as consumers, very transactional. We want to do this together. We are not going to do this in isolation.” At the centers, computers will be available for parents to track student progress, and there are plans for parent programming, such as English-as-a-second-language and nutrition classes. Specific programming, said Daniel Johnson, D209’s director of student and parent involvement, will depend on community feedback. “A big piece is making sure when [parents] walk into Proviso East and Proviso West, there’s someone there who can point them in the right direction,” Johnson said. “There’s someone there who can get it taken care of.” D209 school board members Rodney Alexander and Ned Wagner both stressed, in an Aug. 7 phone call, that parental involvement and community engagement are critical for student achievement. “It’s never been just about the children by themselves,” Alexander said. “It’s always been about the community. You can have the best teachers, the best administrators, the best school board, without the parents, we’re still going to be at a deficit.” The push for parent coordinators and establishing parent centers came out of conversations in a board policy committee that Wag-

ner chaired. Alexander was a member of the committee before his election to the board in April 2017. Wagner was elected in 2015. “One of the most overwhelming things from two years ago was parents felt disconnected,” Wagner said. “Parents felt they didn’t know who to talk to. That was a huge piece of what we needed to fix to move our schools forward.” These centers and the two new positions are an effort to respond to that need. “It’s great to see now that I am a board member that the community was listened to. Ned’s committee was not just for show,” Alexander said. “They paid attention and they listened.” “It’s a core of what we stand for,” Wagner said of community and parental engagement. “It’s a concrete sign that we’re working for what’s best for the kids.” Kardaras, who will be at Proviso East, is a Chicago native and a graduate of DePaul University. She has 17 years of experience in “minority health issues, prevention and community empowerment” according to the district’s website. Hyde, who will be at Proviso West, is D209 alum and longtime resident of Proviso. She worked as a secretary at Proviso East before moving to Atlanta in 2006 to work at an allgirls school. She returned to Chicago in 2015. Both Hyde and Kardaras will attend D209’s community forums, planned for later this month.

A heel spur can be diagnosed with an in office x-ray. There are many ways to treat heel pain without doing surgery.

The Illinois legislature approved a state budget July 6. Lawmakers passed Senate Bill 1 in May, which included a new school funding model. Governor Bruce Rauner issued an amendatory veto Aug. 1, in part over funding to Chicago Public Schools. Lawmakers can now override Rauner’s veto, agree to pass the bill with his revisions, or let the bill die. The first payment to local school districts is scheduled for Aug. 11. D91 gets roughly 8 percent of its revenue from the state each year. But according to Cavallo, the school system has fund reserves to keep the district operating as planned. He did, however, caution that “the reserves will not last forever.” Cavallo said the district will continue to monitor the situation and make “contingency plans” as needed “to respond to the prospect of an ongoing impasse.”

Park District Rec Center construction right on target New building should be done by May 2018 By THOMAS VOGEL Courtesy Park District

recreational building at Harrison Street and Circle Avenue, and the work is going smoothly, Executive Director Larry Piekarz said Aug. 3. The park district broke ground on the $6 million project at the beginning of May. As of now, water piping and electric systems are done and workers have begun pouring concrete for the flooring, Piekarz said. The 15,000-square-foot building, years in the making, includes a basketball court, track, fitness center, locker rooms, and multi-use program space. “So far, everything is on schedule,” Piekarz said. “We are kind of just plugging away.” Walls should go up next month. Heavy rains in the last few weeks, which, in part, delayed a separate water main replacement project on Hannah Avenue, have not significantly affected the rec center construction. Workers did, however, find a small subterranean storage tank shortly after construction began, which delayed the project for a few days. Officials contacted the EPA and the tank was safely removed. Now, Piekarz said, the work is back on track. Previously, the EPA designated the site as toxic and gave a $200,000 grant to help with remeLARRY PIEKARZ diation. Park District executive director Piekarz said he has not heard any complaints from residents about construction traffic or noise. But one resident did ask if he was planning to put up some bleachers so Forest Parkers could watch the project progress, as he did during demolition of the old Roos furniture company building, which formerly occupied the property. “I might put maybe a small set of bleachers,” Piekarz said. “The little kids just love watching the construction trucks and equipment move around.” As reported by the Review at the time, the park district acquired the 25 acre site in 2013 for $499,000. The Forest Park Village Council approved the construction project in late April and waived about 100,000 in permitting fees.

“So far, everything is on schedule. We are kind of just plugging away.”

Identity thefts hit Forest Parkers Incidents part of growing national trend By THOMAS VOGEL Staff Reporter

There’s been a string of identity theft and credit card fraud cases in Forest Park in the last several weeks. Since July 17 alone, according to weekly police reports provided to the Forest Park Review, there have been nearly a dozen cases of unauthorized spending on credit cards, fraudulent ATM withdrawals, and accounts created without consent. Someone even used a 43-year-old Forest Parker’s Social Security number to pay medical bills at a hospital in Miami, Florida. “Identity theft, for years, it just seems to be increasing and increasing. This might be more than usual but we take identity theft and credit fraud reports on a constant basis,” Forest Park Police Chief Thomas Aftanas said. “I can’t say with 100 percent certainty that this is more than in the past months. They’re pretty constant.” Nationally, these kinds of incidents are trending up. About 2.4 million Americans were involved in identity theft cases in 2014, the latest available year data is available, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. That number was 2.1 million in 2012. A Freedom of Information Act request to the Forest Park Police Department by the Forest Park Review revealed there have been 41 credit card fraud and identity theft reports in the last six months. “Data breaches in the last 10 years or so have just gotten out of control. Every day there are data breaches of personal information,” said Axton Betz-Hamilton, a professor of consumer studies at Eastern Illinois University. “Hackers will sell it to someone else, who then uses it. This stuff just gets passed around. It just goes around and around.” These kinds of crimes — which can take place wholly online — are challenging for law enforcement, particularly if an incident crosses several jurisdictions. “It’s tough to make an arrest in some of these cases,” Aftanas said. “The offender is rarely seen, especially if it is Internet purchases.” But Forest Park detectives do follow up on leads and share information with other law enforcement agencies, especially if there are decent photographs of suspects. Not all incidents happen online and there are a few shopping locations in town that have had cases in the past, Aftanas said. Walmart, 1300 Desplaines Ave, as well as convenience stores on village thoroughfares like Roosevelt Road are typical spots for credit card fraud. Some demographics are especially vulnerable, including the elderly, particularly with over-the-phone scams, but Aftanas

said everyone can be a target. “If you look at the reports, it’s people of all ages who are hit.” Aftanas said residents should protect their private and financial information as much as possible and refrain from sharing important information over the phone or online, except on secure sites and portals. Betz-Hamilton echoed Aftanas and added it’s imperative for folks to look for unusual activity on credit card statements, bank accounts, and physical mailings referencing accounts they never opened. If someone suspects they’ve been a victim of identity theft or fraud, Betz-Hamilton said, the first thing to do is file an official police report. Most companies and creditors require an official report before they reimburse victims for any losses. “Most banks and credits will not recognize you as a victim of theft without that report,” Betz-Hamilton said. “Unfortunately there are unscrupulous people out there who take advantage of identity theft and try and avoid their own debts that way.” Requesting an official credit report from each of the three official agencies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — is also helpful. Everyone is entitled to one free report per year. Some law enforcements agencies are reluctant to take reports because of the cross-jurisdictional ambiguity. In that case, Betz-Hamilton said, turn to the Federal Trade Commission, which has an official complaint portal and tracks cases for similarities. Betz-Hamilton said there are no indications these kinds of crimes will stop, particularly as more and more information ends up online. “We have so much personal information that is stored online, in the cloud. Hackers anywhere, if they’re smart enough, can figure out how to get that information.” While companies are learning that responding to these incidents is just part of doing business in 2017, many state laws are not severe enough to deter criminals, Betz-Hamilton said. Often, it is just a modest fine for a first offense. Illinois law, though, does provide for jail time and fines, depending on the amount stolen. There is also statutory language requiring more significant penalties for “aggravated identity theft” — targeting individuals over the age of 60 or those with a disability. But until penalties increase, Betz-Hamilton says, this problem is likely to persist. “The laws are so weak. And the reason is because unless you’ve gone through this, you don’t understand how disruptive it is, and how damaging it can be.”

Four robbers steal Amazon driver’s car, toss packages Four unknown individuals robbed a 30-year-old Amazon driver of his 2014 Chevrolet Malibu on Aug. 4 around 2:30 p.m. as he was out making deliveries on the 600 block of Hannah Avenue. The Amazon employee, according to the police report, had just made a delivery when four people, described as 17 to 18 years old, drove up in a Dodge car. One of them flashed a gun, and told the driver, “Get out of the car,” which he did. The foursome threw the remaining Amazon packages out of the car and drove off. The Dodge was left at the scene. The Amazon employee’s wallet and cellphone were in the Malibu at the time. No arrest has been made but Oak Park police later recovered two Amazon packages on North Boulevard in Oak Park.

Not concealed, not carrying A 31-year-old car renter told police someone stole his 9mm semi-automatic handgun, valued at $600, from his parked 2017 Chevrolet Impala on the 100 block of Marengo on the night of Aug. 4. The man said he thought he locked the car, but no signs of forced entry were found. He had a valid conceal carry permit. The gun was loaded with 15 rounds at the time of the burglary.

Theft ■■Someone stole 12 truck batteries, each worth around $100, from three trucks parked at DVL Express, 1346 Hannah Ave., on the night of July 31. A DVL employee told police he suspects the thief crawled under a fence to get to the lot. ■■Three jackets, with a total value of around $6,000, were reported missing from Ladies & Gentlemen, 7610 Roosevelt Road, on Aug. 3 around 8 p.m.

Controlled substance Officers recovered about 9 grams of suspected heroin from a 30-year-old man driving westbound on I-290 on July 31 around 4:30 p.m. Police stopped the 2002 GMC Envoy after they noticed the driver talking on his cell phone. The driver was “physically trembling” when talking to police. Officers also saw a hypodermic needle in the back seat. The man eventually told police he had bought heroin, which officers found in a cigarette pack in the car.

Bike theft Someone took an unlocked yellow Schwinn left outside the Forest Park Public Library, 7555 Jackson Blvd., on July 31 around

9:45 a.m. The bike’s owner, a 44-year-old man, told police he had gone inside to use the bathroom. When he came out, the bike was gone.

Damage to vehicle A 32-year-old woman told officers someone smashed the rear driver side window and rear window of her 2012 Land Rover while it was parked on the 7700 block of Yuba Street sometime between July 31 and August 1. Cost of repair was unknown at the time the police report was filed.

Retail theft Police arrested two juveniles on Aug. 1 around 2 p.m. after finding about $80 worth of stolen merchandise from Walmart, 1300 Desplaines Ave., in their backpacks. According to the police report, a “passer-by” told officers he saw “several juveniles” behind the store, and one had a “handgun but wasn’t sure if it was real or not.” The officer found the group, who then fled. A chase ensued and two of the juveniles were caught and the stolen goods, which included clothes and BB guns, were recovered.

Battery and motor vehicle theft Forty-two-year-old Michael Key has been charged with battery and motor vehicle theft. Key, who according to the police report “appeared high on crack,” hit a 63-year-old man with a piece of cardboard on the 1200 block of Circle Avenue around 7 a.m. on Aug. 3. The victim, who was walking his dog, noticed Keys “trying the doors” of nearby cars before he realized the victim was watching. According to the report, Key ran at the dog walker and hit him, then fled. No injuries were reported. Later that day, police were called to the 1000 block of Desplaines Avenue for a “suspicious” person driving a construction truck. Officers arrived and Key fled. Officers then got another call about a truck “that hit a grave marker in Waldheim Cemetery.” The caller followed the truck to Portillo’s, 7600 Roosevelt Road, where officers eventually arrested Key. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, July 31-Aug. 7, 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.

OPINION

Proviso empowers parents

rom the earliest days of the 2015 campaign to take back the school board at the Proviso Township High Schools, days when it felt entirely like a long shot against an entrenched political machine, there was this glimmer of possibility among the parents of school-age kids across Proviso Township. These parents weren’t hopeless about their high school options, they were just mightily angry at how their high taxes were perpetually squandered, frustrated at a near total lack of connection to the high schools, disrespected by an administration and faculty who wore low morale as a shield against accountability. Now in two consecutive elections, these parents have turned out to vote and they have turned out of office an entire school board. In that board’s place, Proviso residents elected neighbors who understood that welcoming parents, listening to parents, taking action in support of parents was elemental to ever turning these sorry schools around. There have been any number of small actions over the past 18 months to signal parents that their role was respected and essential. An early and stunningly necessary change in this narrowly majority Hispanic school district was making sure the schools had Spanish-speaking staff in the front offices of each school, that newsletters and other communications were always in English and Spanish. Now with the schools about to reopen for fall, the most tangible changes yet have been put in place. New Parent Centers have been created just inside the main entrances to Proviso East and Proviso West. And each center is now staffed with a full-time person whose sole job is to guide parents through the inevitable labyrinth of a large institution. How does college counseling work? Who does a parent talk to about the number of required credits? About social services offered? How could a parent volunteer? “We want parents to be treated as partners,” Supt. Jesse Rodriguez, now in his second year, said. “We want to do this together. We are not going to do this in isolation.” Eva Kardaras will take up the post at East this month. Delinda Hyde, a District 209 alum, fills the position at West. These are promises kept by a school board and administration who fully recognize the power of active parents in raising successful students.

Rec Center rising

It took a long time, years in fact, for the Park District of Forest Park to bring its plans for a community rec center to fruition. But since breaking ground in May, the parks have kept construction of this terrific project on schedule. With a gym, track, fitness center and meeting space, this will be the first significant expansion of The Park on Harrison in decades. Rising on the site of the old Roos Cedar Chest factory, the center is on course for a May 2018 opening. Kudos to the park district for its perseverance. Gratitude to the village government for its collaboration in waiving some $100,000 in permit fees. This is a feel-good project for the entire village.

Joy at the dog park

have of late been going to the Forest Park Dog Park quite a bit. Not for my own entertainment, exactly, but with a close friend. My friend loves the dog park, and so do I. It’s impossible not to love the dog park. Just driving by is happy. There are way more rules at the dog park than you’d expect. Considering the amount of humping and horseplay that goes on, it seems, at first glance, a fairly lawless place. Every other place I’ve hung out with that much humping and horseplay going on was pretty loose about protocol. Summer camp, high school, Vegas, the Washington Hilton during a particularly raucous conference … it’s a reliable pattern. Though I suppose if the conference attendees harbored as much potential for biting rivals and pooping on the floor, the Hilton might have buckled down too. The list is hilarious in another way. Check this out: You must be registered. You must prove residency. You must prove you’ve had shots. (Not me. My friend.) You must pay a surprisingly large fee for a municipal service. My brother had this exact experience signing children up for school, and we have not yet even gotten to “Clean up your own mess.” There are unwritten rules, too. We all appear to have reciprocal playing rights and disciplinary responsibilities — I can throw a ball for anyone, and I can also yell at anyone to settle down or be quiet or whatever. (Try that with kids sometime. Even odds you’ll wind up in the newspaper.) It’s easy to yell at the doggos, too, ’cause I know all their names. I don’t know the names of anyone else I’ve

ALAN

met there, though we’ve been introduced; I only know them by description. This is a weird reversal of how I’d have expected this would go. I mean, six months ago I would have expected to have described some of my fellow park-goers like “Judy at the park — her dog is the brown and white spaniel mix with the beautiful eyes, remember? — said the park is open all winter,” but in reality that sentence would absolutely come out “Barkley’s mom — you know, the pretty Latina who always looks like she just came from a job interview? — said the park is open all winter.” I think we all know all the dog names because every sentence starts and ends with them. Think “Sir, yes sir!”: “Daisy, put that down. Daisy!” “Brandy! Come here, brandy!” You memorize names fast that way. Next time I meet a bunch of new people, I’m going to propose we try this while everybody gets the names down: “Harold! What time is the breakout session on zero-day vulnerabilities, Harold?” “Rachel, pass the ketchup, Rachel!” “Mom! We have to go! Mom! MOM!” (It probably also helps that dog names are memorable and interesting, whereas people names are people names. If the folks at the dog park were named Elvis and Cupcake and Buttons and the dogs were named Steve and Alex and Alicia, I might remember the people better.) The dog park makes people outside the park happy too. Folks come and lean on the fence and talk to the dogs and smile. The dogs bounce around and woof and sniff and bark. People wave and dogs wag. Every so often, everyone on the inside runs a lap at top speed, I think just because they can. It’s really nice. Everybody’s happy. Pretty sure it’s because dogs are made of joy.

Top of the tower

Italianate villa full of River Forest history By LACEY SIKORA

Contributing Reporter

f you’ve lived in the area long enough, chances are, you’ve noticed the home at 344 Keystone Ave. in River Forest. Not only is it one of the few Italianate villa-style homes in the River Forest, but its soaring four-story tower makes it hard to miss. Estimated to have been built in 1883, the home has housed only four families. Current owners John and Maureen Heakin have faithfully restored the home for the past 37 years. While the task might have seemed monumental to some, spreading the work over time, the Heakins have managed to save the house from the wrecking ball.

Early Chicago connections First owner William F. Blocki was a Polish immigrant, who along with his partner Edwin O. Gale owned and operated the Gale Blocki Pharmacy in the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago. Together, the two purchased acres of land in River Forest and named it the Gale Blocki Subdivision. Although the Heakins cannot substantiate the claim, they are told that the home’s English oak pier mirror, bench and stair rail came from the Palmer House. “The hotel was renovated after the 1871 Chicago fire, and we’ve been told these were taken out at that time and put in storage,” said John Heakin. Blocki and his family of seven lived in the home until 1895, when they sold the house to the Ryan family, who occupied the house for more than 70 years. “Two of the Ryan daughters were unmarried, and they lived at home and operated a nursery school inside the house from 1935 to 1965,” John said. “It was called ‘Ryan’s Playground,’ and generations of River Forest residents went to nursery school here. When we first moved in, people rang the bell to come in and look at their old school.” During the Ryans’ tenure, the house fell

ELEGANCE: The villa built in 1883 by William F. Blocki includes a mirror, bench and stair rail that reportedly came from the Palmer House in Chicago. It’s been meticulously restored by its current owners, who took on renovating the decaying home in 1980. into disrepair, and the sisters lost their license to operate the school due to building code violations. The Ryans sold the house in 1965 to the Felix family. Dr. Robert Felix and his wife, Jean, raised five children in the house. The two added a pool house with an indoor pool to the property for Jean to use for physical therapy. When they divorced, with bankruptcy looming, they put the house on the market in 1977. No interested buyers stepped in to by the house. Maureen Heakin recalls it had been abandoned for three years when she and John first saw it. See VILLA on page B3

Labor of love from page B1 “There was trash knee-deep on all three floors,” John said. “A boiler had burst, and they didn’t have money to fix it. At the time, there was a rumor that a group of investors was looking to buy it and tear it down, since we’re on almost three lots.” The Heakins had been looking for a Victorian home to purchase for two years, but had not had any luck. “All we could afford was a fixer,” John said. “It’s funny that a young couple without a lot of money ended up with one of the grandest homes in the village.”

Renovation minded As they settled into the house, the Heakins tackled remodeling projects one at a time. They were able to salvage and repair the original plaster moldings and ceiling medallions, uncovered the original pocket doors and repaired, replaced and refinished hardwood floors. They also installed new screen doors using the pattern of the brackets on the roof of the house. While keeping true to the history of the home, they also upgraded the mechanical systems and added insulation and air conditioning, making the home more comfortable and weather-ready. Their restoration did not end on the inside of the house. The Heakins took extensive steps to rehabilitate the exterior of the seven-bedroom, three-bathroom house as well. They rebuilt the rear porch to match the existing, original porches. The rebuilt the porch on the north side of the house, and also rebuilt the wrap-around porch in front. In 2013, they set their sights on the home’s brick exterior. Over the decades, the cream bricks had turned a dark charcoal color. The original buff color was revealed with chemical stripping, and more than 4,000 decaying bricks were meticulously replaced with a

The present owners also completely renovated a pool house, turning it into a gracious guest house (above and lower right) complete with a full kitchen, full bath and fireplace. Lower left, the front parlor on the villa’s main floor. The villa has seven bedrooms, three bathrooms and striking four-story tower. brick known as Milwaukee Cream. The project took more than 80 days and earned the home a River Forest Historic Preservation Award in 2014. In 2014, they turned their attention to the pool house. They gutted the dilapidated pool and surrounding building, leaving only the exterior walls. They started from scratch to create a welcoming guest house, which features a full kitchen, full bathroom and fireplace. All of the work has been a labor of love. The Heakins have delighted in the historic details. They maintained the original car-

riage entrance on the north side of the house, with the original heavy wooden doors. They framed mementos found during the restoration, including a piece of lionpatterned wall paper discovered behind the pier mirror and a ticket dated 1876 advertising musical entertainment at the home of Charles Marble, which they found in between pieces of woodwork in a closet. The Heakins are ready to downsize, and have listed the home with Andy Gagliardo for $1,779,000. They hope the next owner will treasure the home as they have. The home

has been featured on an HGTV retrospective on the Italianate villa style, and has been opened to the public on four housewalks, including the Infant Welfare Society Showcase House, Wright Plus, the Infant Welfare Society Holiday Housewalk and the Oak Park River Forest Historical Society walk. In spite of all those accolades, its biggest draw may just be its most notable feature. On the third floor, a flight of stairs leads up to the fourth-story tower. “Every child who comes in here has to go to the top of the tower,” said John. “All you can see is the top of the trees.”

Getting Down To Business

with the Oak Park - River Forest Chamber of Commerce August 7th, 2017

Maximum Impact

By CATHY YEN, Executive Director

t is hard to say good-bye to a colleague who has made a significant, positive impact. Even harder to say good-bye to a friend. Max Austin-Williams, Executive Director of Downtown Oak Park, is leaving this month to relocate to Australia with his husband Rob. I grant that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and of course they should take advantage of it – but knowing that they are making the right choice does not make it any easier to see them go. Max accepted the leadership of our largest business district merchant association in 2012, just about six months before I joined the Chamber in 2013. By the end of 2013, Tammie Grossman was named head of the Village of Oak Park’s Devel-

Cooper's Hawk Winery and Restaurants 950 Lake St. Oak Park (708) 613-2999

opment Customer Services Department. Around the same time, Sara Barnett took over the Visit Oak Park tourism bureau while the Oak Park Economic Development Corporation morphed into its current configuration under the leadership of John Lynch and Viktor Schrader. Within eighteen months, we turned over all the major business support leadership roles in town. Even now, some four years into it, I still feel like we are the new kids on the block, a single cohort, linked by tenure as well as our shared commitment to collaboration across our organizations. Incredibly, that was not always the case, as just five years ago these organizations operated in silos that made meaningful cooperation difficult. Change is good. Without change in leadership and mission, we might not have gotten to this good place – a collegial, supportive, roll-up-your-sleeves kind of team where we are all working in lock-

step to improve the local economy. But change doesn’t feel so good right now, as I prepare for an Oak Park without Max. Professional, creative, curious and accountable, Max showed up daily with no agenda other than enhancing the vitality of Downtown Oak Park. Under Max’s leadership, DTOP enjoyed top-notch marketing, events, advocacy efforts, development support, landscaping and décor and even profitability. Max made my job easier, offering advice, moral support and even tactical help. I expect DTOP will say they have big shoes to fill. For my part, I will miss my friend.

Congratulations to Cooper's Hawk Winery and Restaurant on their Grand Opening!

Celebrating 100 Years

Forest Park Review, August 9, 2017

L E T T E R S

Forty-nine years and still going strong

appreciation to our wonderful group of volunteers who come forward each year to make the food and concessions operation second to none. It would be impossible to list all of them in this letter, but I just wanted to publicly say that without these volunteers, we certainly couldn’t do it alone. Thank you all once again for giving your time for the enjoyment of others. This year’s tournament marked our 49th anniversary and, with the support of the community, we are looking forward to many more. Again, thank you to everyone who helps to make the annual tournament a great success that showcases the wonderful spirit of our community. Larry Piekarz is the director of the Park District of Forest Park.

On behalf of the Board of Park Commissioners of the Park District of Forest Park, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank everyone who helped make the 49th Annual Forest Park Invitational Softball Tournament a huge success. Special thanks to park district commissioners John Doss, Eric Entler, Cathy McDermott, Roy Sansone and Matt Walsh for their continued support in keeping the tradition of this most prestigious 16-inch softball tournament alive for all of these years. They, along with our great recreation, maintenance, concession and office staff, put in countless hours of work each year for this event. The tournament is a “must-see” for any serious fan or player of “Chicagoland’s game,” and we are proud that the tradition continues. Many thanks to the players, team sponsors, umpires, scorekeepers, announcers, grounds crew, and to Mr. Stats, tournament statistician, for their participation in this year’s tournament. I would also like to thank the fans who come out in record numbers, year after year, to enjoy the games. Thanks to Burke Beverage and the Miller Brewing Company for their many years as tournament cosponsors and to our new sponsor, Tito’s Vodka. We would also like to thank the Forest Park Review for once again publishing the official program, as well as to ATI for the use of their parking facilities. Our appreciation is also extended to Mayor Anthony Calderone, the village council and the police and fire departments for their continued support. We would especially like to express our
