he power of the press. That used to mean something. Newspapers were not only politically powerful, they were a financial force. Now, many see them as irrelevant relics. In the lightningfast world of online news, who bothers reading what is literally yesterday’s news? Publishers are desperate to keep their newspapers alive. They’ve lost revenue from circulation and print ads. Newspapers are shutting down. There are cutbacks in newsrooms and more duties for the reporters who are left. It’s a sad, familiar story. But newspapers recently received a boost. John Oliver recently used his HBO show, Last Week Tonight, to mount a 19-minute defense of newspapers. He said the fact that newspapers are in big trouble affects all of us. It certainly affects him because his show thrives on re-packaging information from newspapers. He described the media as a food chain. Without the bottom-feeding newspapers, it would fall apart. All TV news shows depend on newspapers. He also speculated that politicians of the future will love not having their shenanigans covered by reporters. The problem isn’t newspapers themselves. Reporters are still producing great work. The problem is the public. They

want their news for free. If content-stealing citizens continue their ways, newspapers will not survive, at least in their revenueproducing printed form. Oliver isn’t the only one showing his appreciation for newspapers and sounding the alarm. There’s Alan Austic, a small-town newspaper publisher in Lawrence, Nebraska. He started the paper back when Lawrence was a booming railroad town, with seven trains stopping daily. That is why he named it the “Lawrence Locomotive.” Alan is still cranking out a weekly column and covering high school sports. Alan requested the Review’s help, sometime back, in finding 10 members of a B-17 crew that was shot down over Germany in 1944. His father-in-law, Robert A. Johnson, was the co-pilot. Johnson never discussed the war. His military life was a complete mystery to his family. Alan tried the Army but Johnson’s records had perished in a fire. So he reached out to me. I found all 10. Nine were deceased but my search led to Tom Leitch, the son of the pilot, who had a treasure trove of his dad’s wartime memorabilia. If this weren’t exciting enough, I also found the bombardier, Walter “Woodie” Woodmansee, alive and well in Rochester, New York. Alan and Tom couldn’t contain themselves. They drove, with their wives, many miles just to visit “Woodie.” The visit went really well. Alan learned

I asked Alan why he had contacted me in the first place. “All these people say newspapers are dead,” he said, “but some small community newspapers are still going strong. There’s a brotherhood of newspapers. When I found out there was a community newspaper in Forest Park, I thought I might get some help.” He contacted my editor, who assigned the story to me. After all, Alan helps people who visit the “Lawrence Locomotive” to inquire about their family history. “I’d dig out information from old newspapers that was invaluable.” What I found out for Alan was also invaluable. He’s going to write a family history to give to his children and grandchildren.

Exploring an educational ‘Plan B’ Meeting offers information to gauge public interest in charter schools By JACKIE GLOSNIAK

Contributing Reporter

fter years of seemingly endless conversations regarding the quality of schools in the area, a small group of parents gathered last Wednesday to inform themselves on the potential of introducing a charter school option. On Aug. 10, four Forest Park residents gathered at the Howard Mohr Community Center for an open forum exploring the possibility of a local charter school. Allison Jack, a River Forest resident and director of charter growth and support with the Illinois Network of Charter Schools, hosted the meeting after advertising at the Forest Park Aquatic Center and Public Library. Jack originally became interested in the opportunity for Forest Parkers after hearing community complaints about area schools and being dissatisfied herself with the public schools in River Forest. Her goal for the inaugural meeting was not to make solid plans for a charter school but simply to provide an avenue for outreach and see if the idea would resonate. “In Forest Park, we know that, given the amount Forest Park spends [for District 91], the outcomes are not what you would expect to see,” Jack said. “Forest Park spends more than River Forest [per pupil] and we hear a lot of parents are dissatisfied. We’re very much at an early stage of trying to find groups of parents who are interested in doing something like this. We don’t know what the school would look like.” At the meeting, Jack outlined guidelines for establishing a new charter school. To start, a charter school would need to be governed by a nonprofit board since that is the law in Illinois. Then, applications would need to be put into area school districts to get formal approval for children from that district to enroll in the charter. If a school district says no, there is an appeal process that could take place through the Illinois Charter School Commission. Additionally, charter schools do not have boundaries in the same way typical schools do. In Illinois, there are established district boundaries for charter schools. However, how the school would work would be determined once members from partnering communities got together, figured out what they wanted the charter school model to look like, and applied to include their desired school districts. Regarding funding for charter schools, Jack said, essentially, the schools follow a model where the money follows the children. Because charter schools are public schools, children who come from individual school districts bring the amount of tax dollars that would have been spent on them at the regular public school to the charter school. While the amount may not be exact, it would reflect a rough per-pupil amount as the tax dollars allotted for each child in a school district and those dollars would then move to where the child is actually a student. In order for children to become enrolled in the charter school, there would be an application process and enrollment caps in order to ensure reasonable class sizes and resources. Once a charter school reached its optimum capacity, families still looking to enroll their kids in the charter would be placed in a blind lottery or on a waiting list.

CHARTERING A NEW COURSE?: Proviso District 209’s experience acquiring a building and starting PMSA Magnet School can offer lessons for those interested in starting a charter school in the area. Because charter schools mean establishing a new physical building, it would have to be determined exactly where the charter school would be housed. Jack said that, sometimes, charter schools could be built from scratch or open in former school buildings or former commercial properties. “[Charter schools] are a huge challenge wherever they land because there will be people who are closer and who are further,” Jack said. “If you say you’re going to put a school in Forest Park, that doesn’t mean you have to be a Forest Park resident. And we don’t know what the school would be like because an operator is down the road [in the process].” With the vast difference in neighborhoods socioeconomically and culturally in the Forest Park area, Jack added, there would be a lot of challenges in bringing a charter school to serve such a diverse population. “This is really asking people to be a part of something bigger than themselves,” she said. “How do you serve kids from very affluent families and very low-income families and be successful?” One Forest Park resident interested in the possibility of a charter school is Kevin Leonard, the father of a third-grader in District 91, who is dissatisfied with the district. “I’m irritated that I don’t think my son is getting the quality of education he should be getting at a public school that my tax dollars go to,” Leonard said. “We are thinking about options like a lot of people. I know this year at least 8-10 families who have moved out of this neighborhood to primarily pursue other educational options for their children because they are deathly afraid of sending their kids to Proviso East.” Leonard added he feels voicing his opinions to the district have been unvalued and that other parents are worried

their concerns will be treated the same. “Either I go or my wife goes [to school board meetings], but people do not show up, and I know they’re pissed off about schools,” he added. “The district either has to step their game up to hold onto what they have or they’re going to try to fight [a charter option] to keep it out because they’re too lazy to step it up.” Some residents are also worried dissatisfaction with the status quo won’t be enough to truly enact change. Andrea Poole, a Forest Park resident and mom of a 1½ -year-old, is worried people will be scared about trying to bring a charter school for fear of a backlash from district officials and neighbors. “We are worried about this getting politicized before it even grows legs,” Poole said. “People are coming here to be like, ‘What is a charter school? I saw this flyer and I’m kind of curious.’ And then it’s like, ‘Forest Park is going to get a charter school’ and it blows up in the newspaper before it ever has a chance for parents to be curious. That is a real fear of mine.” Jack said her goal right now is to meet individually with the attendees to make it a grassroots effort before officially starting any process. “What I’m really focused on is trying to meet people and determine if there’s interest here,” she said. “Nothing is going to happen in the next six months; there’s not enough community awareness or support. It’s not going to go anywhere unless there’s a core group of parents who are willing to say, ‘This is what I want.’ It really has to stem from the community.” For more information about charter school opportunities, contact Allison Jack at 312-629-2063 or ajack@incschools. org.

D209 BOARD Tempers flare from page 1 sion of the issue at the next board meeting. “Private citizens record the meetings,” said McDermott. “We ought to record them ourselves and have our own recordings.” McDermott was referencing recent video recordings of board meetings by citizens such as members of the civic organization 209 Together, which posted a full video of the Aug. 9 meeting to its Facebook page. Kelly ran with Forest Park residents Ned Wagner and Claudia Medina on the 209 Together slate in 2015. “I’ve never heard that for eight years and you’ve been on the board for eight years,” Kelly told McDermott, according to the video recording of the meeting. “We do have an election coming up and so I see that now you want to pose for the camera, huh, Mr. McDermott?” Kelly said. McDermott said it was appropriate to introduce the proposal “because now we know technology is such that it’s pretty easy to do it, and it’s cost-effective to do it, and I think it’s a good idea to do it now.” Not long into the debate, at around 10:30 p.m., board President Teresa McKelvy, who recently replaced Kelly as president, reminded members that a motion had been called to adjourn the two-and-a-half hour meeting. The motion passed 4 to 3, with board members Kelly, Medina and Wagner

TURILLI from page 1 successful local art displays and programs with no outside funding, only her zeal to strengthen the community. “I was approached to be involved in the Historical Society’s new cultural center because of an event I run in town called ‘garART,’ where artists and residents transform garages into galleries for one night,” Turilli said. “I met a woman named Chris Everett, who was treasurer on the board, and she and I started talking about this and how I was able to pull the event together with no funding.” For the past two years, Turilli has spearheaded garART in Forest Park as a way for residents to transform their otherwise boring garages for one night into art galleries, creating an art walk, where Turilli says the goal has been to look at art, enjoy refreshments and mingle with neighbors. This year, garART will take place on Aug. 27, courtesy of sponsorship from the Kiwanis Club of Forest Park and the Historical Society. “The reason I did garART was because it’s an easy way to display art in the neighborhood in a creative way,” she said. Jerry Lordan, president of the historical society, said the group was excited to welcome Turilli on board after being impressed with both her resume and her community organizing with garART.

She has served as the creative director at a local publishing company; wrote, directed and produced independent films in Los Angeles; and designed art curricula in inner-city Chicago. “The talent [in Hollywood] is mind-blowing but you get humbled really quickly,” she said of her West Coast experience. “You either get upset or keep going to learn from the bottom. I wanted to be as good as everybody else out there.” But when her mother died in 2010, she decided to move back home to be closer to her father, who died in 2013. After former executive director Diane Hansen Grah accepted a position as curator of Orland Park’s history museum, the board was looking for someone to fill the vacancy with a creative and enthusiastic spirit for Forest Park. However, when Turilli was invited to meet the board members to chat about her local involvement, she had no idea she was being interviewed for the position. “There were about five members I met with,” she recalled, “and we just sat down and got to know each other and talked about everything I did when I went to film school,

films I made, and other artistic endeavors I’d done. They were looking for someone who could focus on bringing culturallysignificant programs, art events and music events to a cultural center.” “We would like to broaden our scope and see our new home grow as a museum and cultural center,” confirmed Lordan. Since being hired, Turilli has many goals to help the society move forward, including transforming the group’s meeting space at the First United Church of Christ. The church, which has a dwindling congregation, has an agreement with the Historical Society where the group will eventually take over the entire building. “Right now, the building is in such a state of need and disrepair that we can’t actually hold any events there,” Turilli said. “We really want to bring the community together, but the building just isn’t ready for that. There’s a lot of structural needs and issues and we just don’t have the financing at this time to do that.” Turilli said she hopes to lead the Historical Society through a planning phase and organize fundraising events that will enable them to become a full historical and cultural hub for the community. This October, Turilli has plans to push to increase membership. Turilli hopes her tenacity will help the society thrive for years to come. “I get an idea, I start an idea and I finish an idea,” she added. “I can see things through from start to finish.”

Time Is Now to Prep for Fall Seeding Season Soil endures significant environmental stresses: periods of heavy rain, punctuated by prolonged dry spells, among other fluctuations that generate plenty of energy within the turf. One of the effects is a rising risk of fungal diseases descending on your lawn. Scott McAdam Jr. To combat that threat, between now and Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to begin your seeding project. Note: a 21-day growth period from germination to full growth is normal, after which you can mow for the first time. Fall is the preferred time because of fewer pressures on the seed and an optimal growing climate. As soil temperatures decrease, dormant weed seeds in the soil are not able to germinate, minimizing competition for space, nutrients, and moisture for the seed to establish properly and establish healthy root systems. With cooler temperatures, the soil also retains moisture for a longer duration, decreasing your time and water demands. Don’t overwater— which can result in drowning or washing the seed away—but instead go for short, frequent watering to keep the top layers of soil moist. In the end—and going back to the beginning of this process—the success of seeding depends on your commitment to carefully monitoring and caring for your lawn.

A shopper told police she was inside the store with her boyfriend and noticed she had lost her mace off her key ring while inside the store. Later, at the front of the store, she smelled something and began to cough. She recalled seeing four men “messing around” in the back of the store near where she thought she lost her mace. The four men detained by police were later released after video did not show them spraying mace inside the store. Several people were treated at the hospital due to the incident.

Apartment burglarized An apartment was reported burglarized at 5:02 p.m., Aug. 9 in the 7300 block of Dixon Street. The apartment’s tenant came home and discovered her previously locked door unlocked and her home ransacked. Two money orders for $2,000 each and $250 in cash were reported missing.

Delivery of marijuana Lorenzo S. Brown, 36, of Chicago was charged at 4:49 p.m., Aug. 9 with delivery of marijuana in the 7500 block of Harrison Street. Police were sent to the location after they received a report of a man smoking marijuana in a locker room at the Forest Park Aquatic Center. Police were told the man was leaving in a vehicle when they arrived, and they stopped the vehicle and smelled the odor of marijuana coming from inside. Police recovered multiple small bags of marijuana weighing a total of 16 grams at the scene as well as more than $3,800. Brown told police the money was to purchase a new vehicle that evening and that he doesn’t sell marijuana. He was charged with possession of marijuana and driving while his license was suspended.

Man charged after fighting outside bar Two men were seen fighting at 1:40 a.m., Aug. 12 after the closing of a bar in the 7400 block of Madison Street. Police officers attempted to break up the fight and disperse a crowd that had gathered to watch. An officer suffered a minor injury attempting to break up the fight, and both men resisted arrest. A 21-year-old Berwyn man was charged with reckless conduct, resisting arrest and fighting. He was released after posting bond. A 28-year-old man from Melrose Park continued to be combative toward officers at the station and attempted to flood his cell, threw his food and drink on the

floor and would not follow orders. He was charged with battery, fighting, resisting arrest and reckless conduct.

DUI A 23-year-old Forest Park man was stopped at 4:51 a.m., Aug 14 and charged with driving under the influence in the area of Circle and Harlem avenues. Police were sent to the area of Elgin and Circle for a report of a “one-car accident” and located the vehicle involved in the 7300 block of Circle. Police could smell alcohol on Robinson’s breath and he was arrested. He told police he struck a guardrail at the CTA station when he fell asleep while driving home from a bar in Chicago. He was additionally charged with failing to reduce his speed to avoid an accident, illegal transportation of alcohol, hit-and-run and two traffic citations.

Man refuses to leave bar A 27-year -old Oak Park man who refused to leave a bar, at 12:37 a.m., Aug. 12 in the 7400 block of Madison Street, was charged with criminal trespass to property and three counts of resisting arrest after he tried to prevent officers from taking him into custody. when he was asked to leave, he refused and then was arrested for trespassing.

Remembrance sign damaged The remembrance sign at Veterans Park, located at Circle Avenue and Randolph Street was reported damaged at 11:26 a.m., Aug. 9. The sign was found partially pried away. It was later removed and will be repaired.

Retail theft at Walmart Mitchell L Climons, 50, of Chicago was charged with felony retail theft after he was seen at 7:12 p.m., Aug. 13 stealing items from Walmart, 1300 Desplaines Ave. He was taken into custody by store security after using the self-check lane and attempting to leave with unpaid items. The total theft was $425 and felony charges were approved.

Softball Hall of Fame cabinets damaged Two outdoor cabinets were reported damaged at 9:20 a.m., Aug. 9 at the 16-inch Softball Hall of Fame, 7501 Harrison St. Nothing was reported missing after the cabinets appeared to have been pried open. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, Aug. 8-14, 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.

L E T T E R S

No Gloves couldn’t have done it without you 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 48th 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 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 last but not least, 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 co-sponsors 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 extended to Mayor Anthony Calderone, the Forest Park Village Council and the Police and Fire departments for their continued support. We would especially like to express our 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 48th 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.

River Forest block earns architectural recognition Stretch of William was first planned Prairie-style development

By LACEY SIKORA

Contributing Reporter

hen River Forest trustees officially recognized the 700 block of William Street earlier this summer with honorary street signs, it marked the end of a process for the first planned development of Prairie-style homes and possibly the beginning of a new era in historic preservation for River Forest. For the residents of the block, who had long sought recognition and protection for their homes, the honorary signs are an outward sign that their block has historical significance. Many hope the designation is just the first step in a more thoughtful historic preservation approach in the village.

Passionate homeowners Homeowner Mark Witt, who led the effort to recognize his block, said his interest in the Prairie style of architecture started early. “When I was an undergraduate in the late ’80s,” he recalled, “a professor took us on a class trip. He took us down William Street and told us it was one of the first tract developments in the United States.” Later, Witt and his wife participated in Wright Plus housewalks as tourists. When destiny brought them to the area to live, Witt was delighted to find a house on the very block he had visited while in college. The house needed quite a bit of work, and the Witts tapped into a neighborhood resource, architect Mark Zinni, who had lived in two of the homes on the block himself. Over time, the Witts rehabbed the house See William Street on page B9

District House Open for Sales The single-level residences will all include the modern amenities that so many home buyers are looking for. Ten to twelve foot ceilings and floor to ceiling windows will offer spacious, light-filled vistas. Interior finishes will be high-end and include contemporary flat panel cabinetry and Bosch and Fischer & Paykel appliances. Large outdoor spaces and green roof terraces will complete the picture.

ver the weekend, District House celebrated the grand opening of its Oak Park sales center. Located at 805 Lake Street in the Scoville Square building, the District House Sales Center will initially be open Saturdays and Sundays from noon until 6 p.m. The Sales Center will let the community and interested buyers get an even more in-depth look at the condo development planned for the corner of Lake Street and Euclid Avenue in Oak Park. Visitors will be able to peruse large renderings of the building from both exterior and interior plans. The three-bedroom, two bath units will vary in size from 1,700 to 2,000 square feet and will be priced from the upper $500,000s to the mid-$800,000s. Visitors to the sales center will have the opportunity to see floor plans of the various units and will also be able to view photographs of completed condominium units also developed by Ranquist Development. Chris Dillion, President of Campbell Coyle which combined with Ranquist Development to form the

Ranquist Development’s Cory Robertson, notes that the condominiums hit the Multiple Listing Service on Monday August 15th and are offered by Frank Vihtelic of Jameson Sotheby’s Realty. “We’re very excited to engage with the public in earnest. We are really happy with the community and prospective buyer response so far. Until now, we’ve only been offering quiet presales, and based on response to that, we have very high expectations for these units.”

District House LLC, thinks that the renderings are part of the buzz building locally about District House. “It’s a very design-forward project created by architects Northworks and Miller Hull. In a village renowned for architecture, we really tried to push the envelope a bit, and our presale numbers show that worked very well.”

District House is meeting a need in the village, and Robertson says of the five-story, LEED certified building, “It’s as anticipated a project as I’ve seen in twelve years.”

WILLIAM STREET Special designation from page B1 with Zinni’s help and in doing so, restored the picture molding, fireplace and horizontal trim that were hallmarks of the home’s original style. Neighbor Ron Heiman is equally passionate about the Prairie style and its preservation. He and his wife Pat purchased their home on the 700 block of William in 1979. “I taught architecture classes at OPRF High School from 1970 to 2003. I loved the appearance of the house, the built-in gutters, and the tree canopy. We redid the kitchen and the front porch. Since my wife and I are both into architecture, we worked hard to keep within the original style of the house.”

Frank Lloyd Wright connection? In 2014, Frank Lloyd Wright scholar William Storrer, along with Richard Johnson and Dominque Watts, published The Anonymous Frank Lloyd Wright and the 700 William Street, River Forest Project. In his book, Storrer proposes that the block is the work of the famous architect. Both Witt and Heiman opened their homes to Storrer for his research. All of the homes on the block were constructed by Henry Hogan, who built many of Wright’s designs. According to Witt, Storrer believed that from 1915 through 1917, when the William Street homes were built, Wright was persona non grata in the area due to his highly publicized infidelity, and this makes it likely that his name would not have been attached to the project. When Storrer visited his home, Heiman said, “He was like an architectural detective in our house. He looked at the type of tile on the fireplace, the style of the fireplace, the layout of the rooms, radiator placement and the foundation walls, and he thought they were all indicative of Frank Lloyd Wright’s style.” He is fairly confident that Wright, along with others in his studio, was responsible for the design of the block. “We believe Wright’s son, Lloyd, was the architect of record and Hogan was the builder,” Heiman said. Witt is not so sure, but he does see a connection to Wright’s studio. “I have two thoughts on it,” he said. “One point of view is that Hogan hired a draftsman to knock off Wright’s designs. I think it was probably designed in the office of Frank Lloyd Wright, where Wright was working with his son Lloyd and Harry Robinson. 707 William has a window pattern and door entrance very similar to Harry Robinson designs. This is just conjecture, of course. It’s still a bit of a mystery.” For the Historic Preservation Commission, the unknown identity of the architect does not detract for the importance of the block. According to Commissioner David Raino-Ogden, “The 700 block of William is a rare architectural jewel. It is a pleasant smile

WILLIAM CAMARGO/Staff Photographer

PRAIRIE STYLE: Houses on the 700 block of William Street in River Forest. The early Prairie development recently received historic recognition from the village. with all its teeth, perfect teeth. The cohesiveness of the block is magical. Each house in a similar style with just enough variation to provide a wonderful sense of individuality. The architect, be it Wright or Robinson, or Bozo the clown, should not cloud the issue, the result is to be treasured by all.”

Village action Storrer’s interest in the block was instrumental in bringing neighbors together to celebrate the historic significance of the block and sparking interest in working to preserve the block, according to Witt. “We were concerned because the houses on the block are small, but on nice lots,” he noted. “We don’t want to see a builder come in and put up McMansions. None of these houses are very special on their own, but collectively they are.” Heiman shares Witt’s concerns. “We had some friends who owned a William Drummond house in River Forest,” he

said, “and when they went to sell it, the buyer tore it down. We were shocked, but [back] then, there was nothing in place to prevent it. My wife and I are very concerned about teardowns and want to retain the flavor of the block.” River Forest Historic Preservation guidelines, are just that: guidelines. Although the Historic Preservation Commission can recommend action, it cannot prevent teardowns. The neighbors worked together with the village of River Forest to come up with honorary street signs, designed by Heiman, in hopes that this recognition might convince future buyers of the value of the block as a whole. Laurel McMahon, a former commissioner of the Historic Preservation Commission noted that the signage is significant for multiple reasons. “First,” she said, “the residents are so proud of what a distinctive block it is. It is so rare that houses maintain their original

design. All of the changes in the last 100 years have been so sensitive to the original style. I think putting the signs up helps increase the value, and it encourages others to think about their homes this way. Getting people to appreciate historic design is important. The first line of defense is education about what you have.” A home recently hit the market on the 700 block of William, and when the rehab-minded purchaser went before the Historic Preservation Commission for review, he decided to keep the project within the original look and feel of the block, a victory according to McMahon, Witt and Heiman, who see each house as part of a more important whole. Said Heiman, “On our block, it’s the similarity of all of the houses and the fact that it was all one project at the time it was developed that makes each house an important part of the collective feel. I think the signage and recognition has increased the historic preservation rules a little bit, and I’m hoping they will continue to tighten up.”

The grand foyer welcomes you and serves as the circulation point of the home. The living room and family room share a gorgeous back-to-back fireplace. There is also a fireplace in the extra-large dining room—making it a dramatic setting for family get-togethers and holiday gatherings. A quiet den/office at the back of the house has a small private porch, making it an ideal retreat to work or study. The grand staircase offers a landing with art glass windows and a spectacular view of the rear yard and gardens. The Master bedroom, also with a fireplace, features a walk-in closet, full bath, and its own private porch. Three additional bedrooms (one with a fireplace), a hall bath and laundry complete the almost 1,700 square foot second floor. The unfinished third floor offers endless possibilities for today’s living. With another 1,700 square feet of space and high ceilings, this would make an exquisite master retreat or family recreation area.

August Real Estate Report The dog days of summer are upon us and before you know it the kids will be back at school. Many families are squeezing in their last vacations or touring colleges for future consideration. It is fairly well known that while the temperatures are hot, the real estate market tends to cool a bit near the end of the summer before making a final push before the holidays. Here, at the Oak Park Area Association of REALTORS®, we felt this was a good time to provide you with an update as we take a look at the market statistics for both single family homes and the condo/townhome market in the towns of Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park and Elmwood Park. The majority of the results in the single family home market are quite positive. The number of units sold are up strongly in Oak Park (+19%), River Forest (+26%), Forest Park (+40%), while only Elmwood Park experienced a lower number of sales (-8%) during the first half of 2016.

“How’s the real estate market?” is a common topic of discussion when Brokers gather with friends and family at the block party or BBQ. This is a bit of a mixed bag as prices in Oak Park are up slightly with an average sale price of $488,190 for a 3% gain. In River Forest, the average sales price dropped 5% from $740,012 in 2015 down to just above $700K in 2016. Forest Park and Elmwood Park saw stronger results with 6% and 13% gains respectively. The time it took for a family to sell their home in Oak Park remained unchanged while in River Forest the average days on market nearly doubled to 139 days. Forest Park remained unchanged while the market time in Elmwood Park dropped nearly in half to 83 days to contract.

units rose just over 35% for the first half of 2016. Forest Park experienced a 26% growth in the average sales price while the number of units sold in the first half of ’16 rose 37%. Only Elmwood Park had a decline in both units sold (-15%) and a 5% lower average sales price. “So what’s my house worth?” A great question to be sure and while we can’t rely strictly on year over year data, it is nice that the trend in so many areas is moving in a positive direction. Your best source to find out the answer to that question is to rely on the services of one of the 470 REALTORS® who comprise the membership of the Oak Park Area Association of REALTORS®. We have the local knowledge, experience and expertise to help you sell your home for top dollar in this competitive market place.

The condo/townhome market showed even more impressive growth in both units sold and in average sales prices in three of our four main markets. Oak Park experienced an average price increase of 21% while the number of units sold rose 26%. River Forest had even better 212 S.

Buddha gets a boost from ReUse Depot

Maywood facility turns into boon for artists

AT HOME NOT in the Emergency Room

By JOHN RICE Contributing Reporter

ashi Norbu started his career as an internationally-acclaimed artist in a typically humble way. He was 4 or 5 years old, too poor for paper and pen, drawing a picture of the “Tortoise and the Hare” in the dirt of his Himalayan country of Bhutan. His grandfather was watching and thought Norbu had the skill to become a Thangka painter. Norbu not only mastered this traditional Tibetan art form, he studied Western Art in Belgium and Modern Art in Amsterdam. His latest project took him from his home in the Netherlands to Maywood. During the weeks leading up to July 4th, Norbu was busy working on a large-scale Buddha at ReUse Depot. The sculpture was commissioned by the Chicago Park District for the skateboard park at Roosevelt & Michigan in Grant Park. The Buddha combines all of Norbu’s influences. Using wooden boards, Norbu incorporated the modern western form of Cubism. The Buddha itself is an eastern icon, with Norbu painting Buddhist mantras about compassion on the boards. Finally, the sculpture embraces the modern sport of skateboarding. It has a passageway at its base that allows extreme sports fanatics to skateboard through the sculpture. By constructing the Buddha from recycled materials, the sculpture, “Carries a huge message regarding the deforestation of Tibet by the Chinese,” the sculptor said. Norbu could not have found a better place to create his 15-foot sculpture than ReUse Depot. Owner Kyle Fitzgerald generously donated the thousands of dollars of wood and paint that were needed. He also provided all the tools. Fitzgerald even joined in the work, happy to fire up his chain saw. Other community members joined in to paint the Buddha. But Norbu’s steady partners were Brooks Warman and Matt Doljanin. They provided hands-on help because Norbu’s time is very limited. Warman and Doljanin met at North Park College, as sophomores studying business economics. College was great but both were itching to apply their knowledge in the real world. Doljanin’s father, Patrick, manages top boxers from around the world. “I always wanted to manage someone with talent,” Doljanin said. “I wanted to work with artists.” The two friends left North Park to start North Branch Management. Norbu is one of their top talents, commanding highend prices for his pieces. Warman was scouting in Maywood, look-

Director of Operations Katie Widmar, greenlighted the project and allowed them to build Buddha in their parking lot. Norbu already had a vision for the sculpture and they had Hal Link, who runs a woodworking shop, design the piece. They submitted the drawings to the Chicago Park District and got the OK to build the Buddha. They started work in mid-June and added boards to the sculpture every day. They worked feverishly because Norbu was scheduled to go to San Diego to create a piece called “Stairs to Heaven.” It was heavenly for Warman and Doljanin to work alongside their star artist. ReUse Depot was also a godsend. “It’s the perfect partner, because it’s saving trees through recycling,” Warman said. “We miss having AC and a computer but we get to work hands-on with Taji.” The project was even more of a treat for Doljanin because Norbu stayed at his place for several weeks. “I learned a lot about Tibetan culture and selflessness,” he said, “I learned life lessons about how our actions affect others.” “Compassion is the key trait of Tibetan Buddhism,” Norbu said, “My art comes from compassion.” He used Fitzgerald as an example of this spirit. “Kyle’s a great guy. He’s not greedy. He’s not a miser. He wants everyone to work together to save the Earth. I’m happy to be part of this movement.”

The best block parties are …

he 600 block of Beloit has the best block parties. Just ask them. Last Saturday (Aug. 13) started out rainy, but when the party started, nature cleared things up and sent a beautiful (but hot) August day. Shown here are vicious guard dog Ling-Ling and Officer Lauren Ballistoni. A tough combination of law enforcers as you can see. They kept the crowd peaceful and well behaved. Cliff Leber had his table spellbound as he told of his deep-sea fishing adventures. If he’ll let me, I hope to have some exciting action pictures of his 5-pound muskie, 200-pound tarpon, and lots more. Please, Cliff. Let us see them … Jason by next week.

Talk of the town

married June 4 at River Forest Presbyterian Church. John Cline and his family are ecstatic over the birth of the first girl in the family in five generations. Natalya Cline was born Aug. 10 to Jonathan and Irwina Cline. Congratulations to everyone involved. Get a copy of this month’s (August) Chicago magazine. There is a great story about what a wonderful town Forest Park is. Many of the good spots on Madison Street are mentioned with lots of pictures. The article has nothing but wonderful things to say about us. All true. A recent visitor from Mesa, Arizona was Carol Byars who grew up here, went to Garfield, Forest Park Middle School, and Proviso East. Carol wanted to have breakfast at Louie’s with her longtime friend, Karen Rozmus. Breakfast at Louie’s is a Forest Park tradition, even before it was Louie’s (I think it was Pete’s back then).

Grow up

roviso Township high schools are in the best position in several decades to begin turning this failed mess into a faint beacon of possibility in public high school education. This is important. This moment is important. A revitalized and less political school board was elected 16 months ago. A new superintendent has been hired and his early signals are that the old ways are dead, that community and students come first, that big ideas are welcome, that old-school politics have no place in public education. And then there was the food fight. Not in a cafeteria at East, not among unruly kids lacking discipline. But between two warring school board members, after a school board meeting, over a box of chicken. This is beyond pathetic. There is history between board members Theresa Kelly, 73, and Kevin McDermott, 62. Sometimes over many years on the board they have been wary allies. Now, after McDermott’s recent success in yanking Kelly out of the board presidency mid-term, there is bitterness that bubbles over in public meetings. Last week that frustration played out over McDermott’s proposal that all District 209 school board meetings be video recorded. It is a reasonable idea and depending on how those recordings are publicly shared, we’d call it a progressive step. But in public session Kelly turned that idea into a political fight over the coming election where McDermott’s wavering vote will be powerfully contested. Meeting over, and three board members — Kelly, McDermott and Ned Wagner — went to a side room where a small spread of food had been laid out. That is where some sort of physical altercation took place between McDermott and Kelly. McDermott said Kelly attacked him as they each reached for the same box of food. Kelly said McDermott grabbed a box of chicken out of her hand and wrenched her shoulder. She was taken to a local ER where supporters say the shoulder was sprained. Both have filed battery complaints with the Forest Park police. McDermott has now clammed up on the advice of his attorney. As we said, pathetic. If our children, if our communities are to look to those elected to begin the slow rebuild of this sad school system, then our elected officials are going to have do a damned sight better than this behavior. Both personal and public apologies are in order. If these two were students at East, they’d be suspended for a week. Grow up. Take your overly personal fights out of our sight and away from our public discourse. And don’t you dare screw up this moment of possibility.

A charter in Forest Park?

We believe in charter schools. We believe in them as an alternative and a spur to failed and dispirited public schools. Last week in Forest Park a small, first discussion took place on the difficult and challenging possibility of bringing a charter to the village. A good discussion to have and we’re not going to prejudge the pros and cons. We do, however, think that District 91 is a strong choice for families. We also recognize that there is a budding crisis of confidence in this village related to its public elementary schools. The district’s school board needs to grapple with this.

OPINION We’re the best … except for one corner

GATEWAY BLUES: (Top) The northwest corner of Harlem and Roosevelt in 1952 shows the early incarnation of R. Quitsch Florist, a busy place showcasing memorial cemetery wreaths and floral arrangements. (Below) The corner as it looks today, featuring a currency exchange sign and a flower planter, overgrown with weeds. The corner could use a little sprucing up.

his month Forest Park is proudly featured in Chicago Magazine’s “Best of Chicago” edition. This honor was bestowed on us based on our town’s best attributes — Ferrara Pan, Blue and Green line CTA stops, the Aquatic Center, our diverse shopping, restaurants, events and, of course, our amazing cemeteries. There are many more wonders in town that could easily have been mentioned in the twopage spread but what a terrific feeling to see our town being recognized. Our village, from corner to corner, is beautiful. Desplaines features the mastery of McAdam Landscaping, a new sidewalk welcoming our North Riverside neighbors, and widened turning lane for trucks to use on Industrial Drive. Along many of our entry points we even have signs that welcome guests to our small-town charm. Up north we have charming flower beds dotting the corners, faux red brick crosswalks, and now the new stunning flower pots along Madison Street. Medians and bumped out sidewalks can be found along thruways at Jackson and Harvard, a lovely gazebo on Randolph, grand landscaping along the slope of Community Center, and little details like flowers at the Veterans Park sign. Plus there is a robust Community Garden bursting with summer vegetables. There is just one area that I wish could get some attention. Yes, I’m going to say it: Roosevelt Road. It has been a talking point in at least the last three elections. It is on the “other side” of town — my side of town. Through the Harlem and Roosevelt gateway thousands of people pass. It is here that I have this nagging pea in my mattress. The northwest corner. That’s where I’d like to see some attention, starting with that pesky flower bed at the currency exchange. Don’t get me wrong. I love a great pallet of prairie plants, like the one featured in front of Forest Park Orthodontist. But this is not great. The profanity-laced, graffiti-etched pedestal holding the Currency Exchange sign is surrounded by overflowing weeds. It has been like this for a few years, perhaps just going under the radar at one of the busiest

intersections in our town. Maybe it was the grocery cart that has been parked in the lot for the past few months that made me finally ask our village for some help. In 1952 this corner was R. Quitsch Florist, a highly-respected business in town. This hometown florist was a part of our community from its early days. They sold cemetery flowers, pumpkins in the fall and Christmas trees in the winter. I have been perfectly happy with the currency exchange staff who are courteous and knowledgeable; when I go in once a year, the lobby is always clean and the windows are crystal clear. It’s just that neglected corner that could look so much better. When I followed up with a village commissioner on the progress of the weed infested corner, I was told that he has taken “heat” for this and that my complaint has remained “anonymous.” I don’t want to cause any trouble for the commissioner, nor do I want to seem ungrateful, but I really just thought that perhaps we could expect a little better. I don’t know the delicacy of our priorities or the relationships that this corner might have. I have been a “good” patient citizen for a long time and have been grateful to the commitment to public improvements on all things north of Roosevelt and south to 16th. But perhaps we can look at Roosevelt again, and start with this single corner, so it can rise to the same standards around town that make us the best.
