Forest Park Review 083023

Amidei out as Forest Park village administrator

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

In a surprise move, the Forest Park Village Council fired Moses Amidei from his village administrator position. Mayor Rory Hoskins declined to give a concrete timetable for when he will be replaced

Village staff received an email from the mayor’s office last Tuesday announcing that Amidei had been “placed on administrative leave until further notice,” two sources with knowledge of the situation told the Review. The village council made that permanent Monday night in a 4-0 vote, with Commissioner Jessica Voogd abstaining.

She requested they discuss some of the issues related to the separation before the vote, saying that she had “a couple of unanswered questions that [she] would like to discuss with the council,” but added that she thought they should be asked in a closed session where personnel issues are discussed. Although Commissioner Michelle Melin-Rogovin seconded the motion to go into closed session, she joined the majority

Kribi Co ee acquires third Oak Park location

By STACEY SHERIDAN Senior Reporter

Kribi Coffee is spilling into neighboring Oak Park. The coffee company has just purchased Buzz Café, a beloved coffeeshop in the Oak Park Arts District.

Kribi Coffee, the grass is lem Avenue will always be our home base,” said Gabe eting at Kribi Coffee eniently situated on the corMadison Street and Circle ribi has become a beloved Forest Park since the cofee shop opened in 2019. Kribi has reently expanded its flagship’s offerturning it into a community thering spot; the shop’s basement alled the Ubuntu Lounge, hosts open mic nights, slam poetry ents and pop-up art galleries. While there are no immediate lans to open another Forest Park ribi leadership views its as a natural extension of its Forest z.

and Oak Park are like sis-

That familial mindset is reflective of the Kribi company itself and its decision to purchase Buzz Café at 905 S. Lombard Ave. Both coffee shops are family-owned businesses, which

“It’s extremely important for me that Buzz Café continue, and I feel like I’ve placed it in very good hands,” said Maychruk.

After being approached with an offer by Kribi, Maychruk sold the Buzz Cafe to allow her more time to focus on her real estate career. Maychruk is the managing broker of her own eal estate brokerage, which she opened earlier this year. he opened Buzz Café with her husband, Andrew, 25 years this month. The couple, on the verge of being empty nestelt the time was right to part ways with their café, but the change, she said, is bittersweet.

“We’ve enjoyed a lot of happy years running Buzz Café,” hruk said.

Buzz Café has become an anchor in the Oak Park Arts Diswhich Maychruk helped to grow into a destination location, not for just Oak Park residents but for those in neighboring communities. At the time of the café’s opening, that section of Oak Park carried a reputation for being crime-riden; now it is one of the most popular neighborhoods of the village, according to Maychruk.

“When I opened the café, it was my opportunity to lift up southeast Oak Park,” she said. “And I feel successful in that in many ways.”

As the new owner, Kribi plans to honor Buzz Café and what

it means to its loyal customers, while making some minor tweaks, such as serving Kribi coffee and updating machinery. Kribi is also retaining Buzz Café’s staff.

“We want to be careful to make sure that we give reverence and pay attention to the legacy and community relations that Laura and Buzz Café have amassed over the years,” said Jacques Shalo, the founder of Kribi Coffee.

Shalo is still for mulating a transition plan and timeline, but the current plan is to phase the Oak Park Arts District into the Kribi brand. This, according to Shalo, will be done with careful thought to show respect for and give credit to what has been built in southeast Oak Park over the years. When the time comes and a date is chosen, the grand reopening will honor Buzz Café’s 25th anniversary.

There are already two Kribi coffeeshops in Oak Park, one in the historic Boulevard Arcade building at 1033 South Blvd., and the other in the corner of the Albion building, at 149 Forest Ave. The latter location opened in late July. Maychruk is a Kribi fan, particularly of the Forest Park flagship. “I happen to drive by the corner of Circle and Madison probably twice a day and if you’ re stopped at the light, you can smell coffee,” she said. “It’s always like, ‘Wow, this smells great.’”

Buzz Café will become Kribi’s third Oak Park location.

CRIME

Robbers pull gun on man who chased them after they swipe mom’s phone

A 36-year-old man tracked a Chicago couple who he believed robbed his mother and got a gun pointed at him for his trouble, authorities said.

The victim said that on the morning of Aug. 22, his mother was robbed in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood at the intersection of Madison Street and Cicero Avenue. The victim tracked the phone that was stolen to the Forest Park Walmart at 1300 Desplaines Ave. He told police that he was able to identify the perpetrators, an 18-year-old Chicago man and an 18-year-old Chicago woman, because they took photos of themselves and the photos were backed up online.

The victim followed the duo onto a Pace bus that headed to the Forest Park CTA Blue Line terminal at 711 Desplaines Ave., and confronted them at the station. The couple denied having his phone. The victim claimed the woman pulled a gun out of her purse and threatened the victim. He then said the man then took the gun from her and pointed it at the victim.

The man handed the gun to a third person, a 26-year-old Bellwood man who, according to a witness at the scene, was with

After the meeting, Hoskins also declined to elaborate about the reasons for the firing, saying only that it was a “personnel matter.” He also declined to say when the village would hire another administrator, saying there was “no set timetable” for appointing Amidei’s replacement. Hoskins added that he did not have any candidates waiting in the wings.

Hoskins said that department heads will handle at least some of Amidei’s duties in the interim

The three were arrested, and each was charged with one count of unlawful use of a weapon.

Burglar y of towed car

A 35-year-old Romeoville man whose car was towed when he was arrested in July told police that his car was burglarized while at the tow yard

The man was charged with speeding, driving under influence, and resisting arrest. At the time, his maroon 2018 Chrysler 300 was towed to Maywood. When he picked up his car Aug. 3, he discovered that $512 in cash, his drivers’ license, a phone, a Lenovo laptop and jewelry were missing. The victim originally assumed that Forest Park police had it as evidence and got a court order instructing them to return his belongings. But the police claim that they

The Review learned of the ter mination last Thursday. At the time, Hoskins declined to comment beyond saying “stay tuned.” Amidei did not respond to calls and emails seeking comment. None of the commissioners responded to requests for comment before the council meeting

The separation agreement approved Monday night makes the firing retroactive to Aug. 23. It states that Amidei will continue to be paid his regular salary over the next three months, and he will be able to stay on the village insurance plan until Nov. 30. Under the current budget, Amidei’s salary was set at $125,931.

Amidei was hired as the village administrator on May 11, 2021. Before that, he served as served as the village administrator of Wadsworth, a largely rural Lake County suburb bordering Wisconsin, for 14 years.

The police are treating the case as theft.

Residential Burglary

A 26-year-old truck driver returned from work to find his apartment burglarized.

The victim said that he returned to his apar tment at the 1000 block of Desplaines Avenue Aug. 24 at 8:39 p.m. after being out of town for a day. He said he immediately noticed that his front door was open, even though he was sure he had left it and the balcony door locked. A safe containing about $3,200 was missing, as was a silver necklace with a picture of his friend, and a Gucci-brand scarf.

Further investigation revealed damage to the balcony door and door frame. Police officers also found a handprint on the mirrored sliding closet door in the front room. The victim said the print did not belong to him.

Talent on display at Thai Voice

You don’t have to be ai to enjoy this vocal contest

By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter

St. Paul Thai Lutheran Church on Dixon Street is hosting a live singing contest in September, which they are calling Thai Voice. The event is modeled after the longrunning TV show on NBC called The Voice.

The 21 re gistered contestants will compete in the qualifying round on Sept. 11 at 1 p.m. Those who survive will sing in the final round on Sept. 24 at 5 p.m. There was a re gistration fee for contestants, but there is no charge for people in the audience.

“The readers of the Re president, Chauwarin Tuntisak, “who li culture will enjoy this ev Sept. 24 when we will serve

All of the contestants will be of one is invited to enjoy the musical extravaganza. Genres sung by the solo contestants will be 50% Thai Pop, 25% Thai Traditional Folk Music and 25% International Pop.

The event was the brainchild of Tuntisak, who was inspired when he heard two of the church’s musicians, Pun (aka Sasin Tuangjaruwinai) and Pat (aka Sathapat Sangsuwan) “sing beautifully” and another member, Peter Tessale share a message about “not worrying,”

Tuntisak said to himself, “Thai people need to hear this.”

“There are two main goals of the event,” Pun explained. “The first is to open our door to Thai people. We think the first step of evangelism is to get to know people who are not Christian. We want Thai people to be comfortable in the church community first.

“The second goal is to build community and have fun. We designed our contest to be friend ly and welcoming. We hope everyone who comes to the event will get to know other Thais who live in Chicago. Community is important, especially those who study/work abroad. Language and culture are not easy to learn in a few days; they take time

to understand, respect, and appreciate.”

There are four Thai restaurants in Forest Park, but not many expats from the Land of Smiles actually live here. According to the Pew Research Center, however, 5,000 people of Thai descent live in the Chicago Metropolitan Area, and it is from that cohort that the 21 contestants have come.

He pointed out that the four contest judges reveal how connected his congregation is to the Thai diaspora in Chicago.

STEAM labs open at two District 91 schools

Labs designed to teach students skills that set foundation for getting jobs of the future

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

Students at Field-Stevenson Intermediate Elementary School and Forest Park Middle School are kicking of f the 20232024 school year with brand-new Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) labs.

Putting STEAM labs in all Forest Park School District 91 schools has been a major priority for Supterintendent Elizabeth Alvare z. The district’s board of education approved the contract for the labs last winter, with a penalty clause that will kick in if Chicago-based Pacific Construction Services didn’t finish work by late August. When students and parents got their first peek at the labs last Wednesday, there were a few unfin-

ished decorative touches, but equipment and space-wise, the labs were ready to go

The school district marked the launch of the STEAM labs with a ribbon-cutting and a guided tour of the labs. The event took place right before the re gularly scheduled open house. The teachers and district officials said that they were eager to see how the students will be able to use the new labs in the years to come.

As previously reported by the Review, the labs were built inside the for merly underused spaces within the building. For Field-Stevenson, the lab is built in what was a teachers’ lounge, at the lower level on the west side of the building. The middle school lab was built in an unused space at the northeast corner of the building, right next to the “cafetorium” or auditorium/cafeteria space. While the Field-Stevenson lab is slightly out of the way, the middle school lab is centrally located.

While the labs have some differences to account for the students’ ages, and the middle school lab is physically bigger, they both follow a similar design principle. Each lab has an area where students

can do experiments, a more casual learning and research area, and an amphitheater-style seating area where students can make presentations. Each lab also has a quiet room with transparent walls where students can work in groups while still being visible to the teachers in the main lab.

T he middle school lab has power strips coming down from the ceiling, so that the students don’ t rip over them when they move around, and the Field-Stevenson lab has large monitors at every table that students can easily plug their Chromebooks into to do presentations.

The quiet rooms are the only spaces with permanent walls – the idea is that the lab furniture and equipment can be easily shifted around based on students’ needs and changes in technology

In the speech before the ribbon-cutting, Dr. Robert Hubbird, the district’s Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations, acknowledged that some parts of the labs – such as the graphics on the walls –were not finished at the time, but he said that the remaining work should be finished by the beginning of September

District 91 hired one new teacher for each lab to handle the instructions. Melissa Bravo, who will be teaching at the Field-Stevenson lab, said that she taught STEAM classes for eight years. She said she was looking forward to everything she’ ll be able to do.

“It’s exciting to get to use robotics and do all the hands-on projects that are great for students,” she said, adding that the class

will do graphic design for projects such as the school’s newsletter

The Museum of Science and Industry Chicago is working with District 91 to provide professional development for the lab teachers and put on programs such as field trips.

Jarrad McCarthy, the museum’s director of education business development and sales, told the Review that this is something his employer does with other school districts and nonprofits throughout the Chicago area.

“We’re just really happy to be getting kids really excited about STEAM,” he said.

In her speech before the ribbon-cutting, Alvare z said that she strongly believed in STEAM labs because it was important to teach students how interconnected the five disciplines are, and because she beli eved the labs would teach students skills that would set a foundation for the jobs of the future.

“You really feel the difference when you come into the Forest Park Middle School or Field-Stevenson,” she said.

Mayor Rory Hoskins praised the district board of education for ag reeing to pay for the STEAM labs, and the MSI for supporting them.

Village Commissioner Maria Maxham’s youngest daughter is attending Forest Park Middle School, and her older children attended schools in the district.

“It’s great to see the progress since my oldest kid has been here,” she said. “My daughter is really excited about having a STEAM class every day.”

Passing ministerial milestones

Rev. Teague and Rev. Cairo have long histories in Forest Park

By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter

This year Rev. Bill Teague is celebrating 20 years as pastor of Hope Tabernacle, while Rev. Charles Cairo passed his 45-year mark last year.

The two men are as different as can be in temperament and history, but when they got together to tell their stories, they agreed they wound up in the right place when it came to God’s plan.

Teague grew up on the West Side near the corner of Washington and Franciso in a single-parent household. The saying, “I’m from a rich family; the only thing was we didn’t have a lot of money” applies to his childhood.

“My mom and my grandmother raised me,” Teague explained, “but we didn’t grow up as poor people. I never felt like I was missing something. We’d go to the hot dog stand on the corner, someone would buy a Polish and we’d split it. We’d play baseball in a vacant lot, and the ball we used was wrapped up with masking tape.”

He said the men in the neighborhood made up for the absence of a man in his home. They provided him with role models and made sure he grew up “in the right way.”

It was people in the neighborhood who made sure the community was taken care of. When he took his grandmother grocery shopping, she would tell him to run across the street and see if a lady who was living alone needed anything before they entered the store. He said that even the local gang helped “put the neighbor in the hood” as his colleagues in PTMAN like to say.

From childhood on, Teague was always involved in the church, and from early on he felt like he had “a callin’ from God.” His pastor and church members told him so, but he resisted that call for years, for decades even.

He worked for Allstate as an IT person for 34 years, but was always involved in the church, especially in youth work, and it wasn’t until he broke down and cried at a men’s conference that he “surrendered” to God’s call.

When he told his pastor that the Almighty

had called him to minister, the pastor responded, “Well, it took you long enough.”

In 2003 Hope Tabernacle was born in his home around the kitchen table. From that humble beginning, the small congregation moved to the American Legion Hall on Circle Avenue and after a short time there, they moved to the building now owned by St. Paul Thai Lutheran Church where they rented space and held worship services for almost 20 years.

When asked to list the highlights of his ministry, Teague said, “There have not been any lowlights. We’re not trying to be a mega-church like Pastor Bill Winston’s Living Word. We average 20 to 30 people at worship each Sunday, and sometimes it’s hard to make financial ends meet.

He’s not worried about the numbers. He doesn’t go door-to-door evangelizing. “God didn’t call us to do that kind of thing,” he explained. “We put a sign outside the church on Sunday mor ning, so you can know we are there. Every time someone comes in for the service, it’s a highlight. If they come twice, they are members The doors are open, and we make sure the windows are open so people can hear the music.”

Speaking of which, Hope Tabernacle’s praise team, six women accompanied by keyboard and drums, is really good. “They take it seriously,” said Teague proudly. “We have praise dancers, too. They do not have fame and glory, but everything they do is top tier.”

Rev. Teague retired from Allstate seven years ago but recently began working again. This time with elderly adults with special needs.

He has four daughters, but added with a smile, “I have many sons in the congregation. They call me Pops.”

His congregation will honor him and his wife with a luncheon at the Wildfire restaurant in Oak Brook on Sept. 23.

When it came time for Charles Cairo to tell his story, he looked at his colleague, laughed and said, “I wasn’t born in a choir loft.”

“My dad was a Buddhist,” he said, “and ethnically I’m Italian, Greek and Jew, so I grew up confused. I got my first tattoo at 13, and I tried heroin in the same year.”

After graduating from high school on the South Side, he joined the Air Force and served for six years as an MP (military police). After he was discharged, he could not find a job so he hung out with people in

the counter culture — “motorcycles, drugs, sex and rock-and-roll. We called my drug dealer Fuzzy.”

Cairo finally found work as a photographer, and his album contains photos of Lee Iacocca, Richard Nixon and both Mayor Daleys. “I was very good at photography,” he recalled, “and very good at drugs.”

Ironically, it was Fuzzy who put Cairo on the path that led to ministry.

“After not seeing him for a time,” he recalled, “I bumped into him on the street and said that I needed some ‘stuff.’ His re ply was that he had something better — Jesus Christ.”

And so it happened that his for mer drug dealer introduced him to Jesus People USA. Their website states, “We are a church family of nearly 200 people living together in intentional community, sharing a 10-story building in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago.”

The future Reverend Doctor, in other words, transitioned from the hedonistic side of the ’60s and ’70s counter culture to religious expression. The website adds, “We take on the radically counter-cultural yet fantastically ordinary task of doing life together.”

That involvement led both to Cairo “getting saved” and to the founding of Fire Escape Ministry, currently in its 46th year of ministry.

What happened next might be called a “dual ministry.” After getting out of the Air Force, Cairo was trained by Cook County and then certified as a probation officer with the Cook County Court System where he worked

for 19 years. He had an office at Madden Mental Health Center, and used the chapel there for religious services

Simultaneously, he was working with the Fire Escape Ministry which among other things operated a coffeehouse called Neutral Ground, a food pantry in Berwyn and a ministry at Madden Mental Health Center on First Avenue in Maywood.

Cairo worked as a probation officer for 19 years with “interstate compact.”

“I was pretty good at that,” he said to his badge on a bookshelf in his living room. “It took four people to replace me.”

He continued his work as a probation officer and a Jesus People-style minister in Fire Escape Ministry until two things happened. Ten years ago he was hit by a car and dragged down the street which left him disabled and needing a wheelchair to get around.

The second thing was that the state of Illinois decided his work at Madden violated the separation of church and state

“So now I’m crippled,” he said with his typical “tell it like it is” candor. “I can’t do photography. I can’t get around to preach in churches now. What I do is counseling. When I left probation, I had all these credentials like certification in addictions counseling and two doctor degrees, so I do counseling in my home.”

He refers to his work as pastoral counseling because he uses the Bible and prayer in treating his clients

Not naïve when it comes to working with domestic violence, he has God in his heart, but keeps a Glock 9mm at his side

Sip N’ Stroll Brings Wine Tasting Experience for Second Year to Elmwood Park

Visitors can enjoy wine tasting by 10+ wineries in Elmwood Park

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

Wine lovers are invited to enjoy a 21-andover wine tasting experience at Elmwood Park’s Central Park that features a vibrant end-of-summer event with food, live music and of course, wine.

“Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just looking for a different kind of evening out with friends, this event is sure to satisfy,” said Elmwood Park Village President Angelo “Skip” Saviano.

Now in its second year, Sip N’ Stroll promises not to disappoint wine lovers and those who are still exploring their

thirst for wine. With more than 10 wineries on-site, attendees are on track to find a new favorite or try something new and tasteful.

For a $50 ticket, attendees will get 10 wine-tasting tickets and a commemorative wine glass. They’ll also be able to enjoy live music by Vince Amore amid the great and vibrant community atmosphere that distinguishes Elmwood Park.

Last week ’s heat hints at how Forest Park will need to adapt to climate change

e Aquatic Center added sta to meet record numbers of swimmers

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ and IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

Triple-digit temperatures in Forest Park may not be that uncommon in the future as climate change continues to modify weather patterns in the village, and the two scorching days last week demonstrate how heat brings changes to things most take for granted, such as school activities and outdoor cultural programming.

For the most part, Forest Park endured the heat fairly well, although Joliet’s airport measured a heat index of 119. The Mohr Community Center functioned as a cooling center for most of its re gular operating hours, and Forest Park Public Library was open during regular hours to give residents an opportunity to cool of f and refill their water bottles.

Union Pacific Railroad, which operates the Union Pacific West commuter rail line under contract with Metra, slowed its trains. CTA asked riders to re port any air conditioning issues on buses and trains, while Pace, the suburban bus operator, encouraged riders to avoid non-essential travel and “wait in safe and cool areas” for the buses. Many communities were asked to conserve energy while roughly 2,000 people lost power across the state by the second day of heat.

Park District director Jackie Iovinelli told the Review that while they didn’t adjust the pool hours, they added more staf f on Aug. 23 and 24 to deal with the expected surge in demand.

“With the children back at school during the day, we are providing a nice Aquatic Center to cool of f in the afternoon,” she said. “Both Wednesday and Thursday we

exceeded any number of guests on a normal weekday after the kids go back to school.

But in a re gion where all communities do not have the same access to resources and infrastructure, extreme weather events could disproportionately affect neighboring communities that have under resourced.

For example, the heat – which felt as hot as 115 de grees in some areas – disrupted Chicago West Siders’ activities, from day chores to special events. Last day, for example, the Chicago Department of Cultural Af fairs shifted its scheduled Chicago SummerDance dance event from Douglass Park’s outdoor area to the pa air-conditioned fieldhouse at 1401 S Sacramento Dr. The next day, a youth event bringing fire dancing and drumming to the 3000 block of West Fifth Avenue in the West Garfield Park neighborhood was canceled because of the heat advisory.

Compared with the early 1900s, Chicago’s weather is warmer and wetter, according to a re port by the city of Chicago. In the city, precipitation has increased 12% to 15%, bringing more rain in the summertime, as re por ted in the city’s 2022 climate action plan.

Last week’s heat was a result of a “heat dome,” or an atmospheric trap of hot air funneled from the Gulf of Mexico that parked over the Midwest. Yet, scientists have warned that the “frequency, duration and intensity of heat waves in Chicago are likely to increase substantially” due to climate change.

A 2008 Chicago climate change re port, estimated that extreme heat waves in Chicago could occur twice a decade by 2050. If globally greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, increasing the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, by the end of the century there could be several heatwaves each summer.

During last week’s heat wave, residents in heat islands — areas with less greenspace and more asphalt, which are common in Chicago’s West Side — experienced a more intense heat ef fect. On average, day

de grees Farenheit higher than in outlying areas, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Austin resident Sonya Hughes could attest to that.

“It was too hot to be out,” she said. She took “many cold showers,” wore a wet towel and tried to stay out of the heat, using a fan to keep her apar tment cool because her air conditioning stopped working.

Hughes, 50, said she stayed out of the heat to prevent any health issues, though she was forced to be outside one day to attend a doctor’s appointment.

S he was right to be careful, experts said. E xtreme we ather, for example, ca n c ause heat strokes and increase hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease, k idney and respiratory disorders, according to the C enters for Disease C ontrol and Prevention.

Heat can also be deadly. In 1995, a sevenday heat wave resulted in more than 700 excess deaths in Chicago. Nationwide, heat was the number one weather-related cause of death for the last three decades, heat was the number one weather-related cause of death, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Living in a traditionally under-resourced community further complicates that: A 2015 analysis found that the highest number of mortalities occurred in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods.

During last week’s heat wave, in neighboring Oak Park, Ana Garcia-Doyle had to limit the amount of time she spent outdoors. She suffers from asthma, putting her at higher risk of a health complication as excessive heat worsens air quality, the CDC warns. Garcia-Doyle is the executive director of One Earth Collective, a nonprofit that helps run a community urban farm in partnership with Austin-based BUILD Chicago.

Over the summer, she worked with Austin youth in an environmental education program at the urban farm. She noticed they were more interested in lear ning about the ef fects of climate change when they directly could feel the effects of climate-related events. Earlier this summer, they were sur prised by the effects of poor air quality caused by Canadian wildfires, which could be felt in Chicago.

Other environmental programs like the one led by Garcia-Doyle can serve as ways to increase awareness of the disproportionate effect of climate change.

For example, earlier this summer, the city of Chicago launched a resident-led program to better map heat inequities, as part of a nationwide program led by NOAA.

The Heat Watch 2023 program invites volunteers to travel certain city routes with heat sensors. Each sensor measures temperature, humidity, time and location to identify areas disproportionately affected by heat.

Children ocked to the Aquatic Center during last week’s heat wave.

OPINION Administrator-less

Life in the slow lane

Once again, Forest Park has bounced its village administrator. Moses Amidei lasted not quite 2½ years. Over three decades that’s about the average tenure of any Forest Park administrator whose birth certificate doesn’t read Forest Park, Illinois.

Forest Park, with its ridiculous “commissioner form” of gover nment, was dragged into hiring a village administrator in the first place and has never been comfortable with professional leadership in that role. That’s why so many have passed through the position and why the last time an administrator search took place, a for mer administrator said he couldn’t imagine why a trained pro would even consider applying.

But even by Forest Park standards, the firing of Amidei seems odd. Mayor Rory Hoskins, who hired Amidei from a very thin pool of applicants in 2021, says the silence is necessary as this is a personnel matter. OK.

Yet it is troubling that, after its meeting Monday evening, Forest Park has no timeline to search for a replacement, appointed no interim administrator and sort of implied that duties would be divvied up among department heads.

It all sounds quite similar to the structure of a commission form of gover nment where the mayor and commissioners run departments, the mayor is in ascendency, and Forest Park is run like the one-stoplight town this form of gover nment was created for a century ago.

This is a pivotal moment for Forest Park Commissioners — who know better — to speak up. Citizens need to pay attention.

Full STEAM ahead

As promised, Forest Park’s public schools opened the school year with brand new STEAM labs at both Field-Stevenson and the adjacent Forest Park Middle School. And each new space will come with a newly hired and specially trained teacher who will focus on the science, technology, engineering, art and math components that make up the STEAM curriculum.

More than just the subject matters, it is the hands-on and interactive learning approaches that distinguish this innovative program. And the new spaces — each reclaimed from other uses in the building — are built to allow such collaborative lear ning with lab space, an amphitheater space for student presentations and a quiet room for students’ projects to be created.

The STEAM plan is a major component of Supt. Elizabeth Alvarez’s overall tur naround strategy for a district working to put a floor under enrollment while also building engagement with students and families

While there are still a few minor design elements to be completed, the district gets points for getting these complex projects done on time for the new school year.

Amonth ago I brought my computer to a technician who was, of course, one-fourth my age. I ticked of f a long list of problems I was having with the machine. The 23-year-old listened politely to the issues and finally interrupted my complaining by saying, “Sir, we can fix a few of the problems, but the main thing is that your computer is old.”

Immediately after hearing the techno wizard’s diagnosi s, I thought, “That’s exactly what my primary doctor says to me.”

I accepted as accurate what the tech said, and I bought a new computer. I also accepted what my primary said, but of course that’s where the analogy comes to a screeching halt. I can’t buy a new body; can’ t even buy a new memory.

HOLMES

There’s a joke getting passed around among my fellow travelers in the slow lane of life: Two elderly couples got to gether for dinner. After the dishes were cleared, the women retreated to the kitchen and the old geezers sat in the two recliners in the living room.

“Anything new?” John asked Larry.

Larry thought for a moment, slowly going through his memory files. “Yeah,” he finally re plied. “We tried a new restaurant in town and liked it a lot.”

“Cool. What is its name?”

Larry went back to his files, but after a minute of searching, he came up empty. then he switched his strategy and asked his longtime friend,” You know that flower? It’s red and has thor ns on its stem? What’s it called?”

“You mean a rose?”

“Yeah, that’s it,” said Larry who turned his head toward the kitchen and hollered, “Hey, Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we tried out?”

My fellow septuagenarians and octogenarians laugh every time we hear it — because we keep forgetting the punchline!

I’m even slower than most of my peers. Not only did I turn 76 last month, but I also have this progressive neurological disorder that makes my walking speed about the same as that famous turtle in the tortoise and the hare story.

In the slow lane, one symptom tends to agg ravate the others. For example, I decide I need to get something from the kitchen, but it takes me so long to get there that in the process I forget what I went there for!

When I’m entering Louie’s for breakfast, more

times than not someone will run to hold the door open for me, and often they will tell me as I lift my walker over the threshold, “Take your time.”

I close my eyelids so the well-meaning folks don’ t see my eyes roll. “Take your time,” I say to myself. “Like I have a choice Ta ke your time is my m iddle name.”

When I started using a walker 10 years ago, I said to my daughter who was in her late 30s at the time, “I resist using my walker because it makes me look like an old grandpa.”

“Dad,” she re plied. “You are an old grandpa!”

It helps a lot to joke about the losses that go with aging, especially with fellow travelers in the slow lane.

But there are many blessings that can accompany aging as well as losses. For example, would you rather be smart or wise? When I was young, I was smart in some ways but pretty stupid in others.

It’s like the airplane pilot who comes on the public address system in the 737 he’s flying and says to the passengers, “Ladies and gentlemen. I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that we’re lost. The good news is we’re making real good time!”

A few years after I was diagnosed, I was hobbling along a trail in Rocky Mountain National Park, when I heard footsteps approaching behind me, so I stepped of f the trail. I turned and saw this beautiful, young woman coming down the trail.

“Go ahead,” I said. “I’m really slow.”

“No,” she re plied. “I’ll walk with you for a while.”

“Don’t wake me up if I’m dreaming,” I said to myself

We walked together for maybe five minutes. After saying “Take care,” she paused and added, “You know. You probably see more because you’re going slowly.”

Sometimes when we are pursuing life, as if it is getting away from us, it helps to stop and let life catch up to us. Getting old and disabled has forced me to do what I wish I had done more of when I was young.

Back then I set goals for myself and drove as fast as I could into that future I assumed would be happier than what I had where I was at. If you talk to business owners in town, they will say that in this competitive economy you have to drive in the fast lane just to keep up

But making good time might get you further away from where you really need to go.

When stay-at-home moms nally unionize

Ayoung stay-at-home mom told me it ’s time for women li ke herself to unionize. Here is a list of her demands:

■ Management shall increase the number of sick days for union members from zero to one per month. If the member is not physically sick, they can substitute a monthly mental health day to restore their sanity

■ Management is responsible for two date nights per month. Management must hire a ba bysitter and provide dinner and a movie. The restaurant must not have a drive-thru window and the movie cannot be on Netflix.

■ During family vacations, members are entitled to one hour of alone time per day. They can use this time for walks, trips to Dairy Queen, or browsing the nearest Target.

■ One out of every 10 family photos must contain a picture of the member. Management must also provide an annual professional family photo shoot.

■ Anniversary gifts must be made of a precious metal. Steel appliances do not count. Bir thday gifts should include

the member’s birth stone, or a bracelet displaying the kids’ names.

■ Management must assist in recreational activities by providing members with season passes to pools, zoos, children’s museums, or trampoline parks.

■ Management must expand the household menu by purchasing weekly meal kits. If the member prepares the meal kit, management is responsible for clean-up

■ To promote household cleanliness, management must hire a professional house cleaner to come on a monthly basis.

■ If a member takes on extra duties, such as serving as team mom, room mom, or joining the PTO, management must provide a gift certificate for a spa or salon.

■ Management is responsible for ensuring the comfort of members. This includes providing lounge wear, slip-on shoes and comfy throw blankets.

■ Members are entitled to a minimum of one hour of adult conversation per day. During this time, management is prohibited from scrolling social media, checking emails or glancing at the game.

■ Members are entitled to two girl’s

A LOOK BACK IN TIME

night out dates per month. During these dates, management is prohibited from texting members about what time they’re coming home.

■ When members are out in public with their kids, strangers are not allowed to remind them, “You’ve really got your hands full.”

■ “Working moms” are not allowed to feel superior to members, as economists estimate stay-at-home moms are worth an annual $184,820 for the services they provide. Others consider their services to be “priceless.”

■ Members will provide the following services: child care, housework, transportation of children and running household errands. Food preparation also required except for weekly pizza night.

■ Stay-at-home moms are worth even more during pandemics with the addition of homeschooling to their duties.

■ Whenever possible, management must provide hands-on help to members by assisting children with homework, getting children to bed and, if necessary, changing their diapers.

My young friend doesn’t have a name for the union, or how it would work on a practical basis. She just knows Forest Park is a union town and this would truly be its first labor union.

A new paddy wagon for the polic

In August 1930, the new Forest Park police ambulance and patrol car arrived and was well admired. Mayor George Gold, Commander Ed See gers and Chief of Police Fred Lichet are shown here in front of the new vehicle, manufactured by the Diamond T Company, with the Municipal Building at Randolph and Circle in the background. Researcher Scott McClintock re ports the paddy was eventually restored by Jim Day of Esther Price Candies and is on display at the Dayton Ohio Police Museum.
