Council studies fee hikes to help balance budget Sewer and garbage fee plus paying to park on Madison considered

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

Living in Forest Park is about to get more expensive.

The village council appears poised to impose a sewer tax and raise a host of fees and fines in an attempt to shrink a more than $1 million budget shortfall. Last week the council met with top staff in another budget workshop to consider a variety of “revenue enhancements.”

In addition to adding a $2.80 per 100 cubic feet of water sewer tax to the village’s current charge of $7.20 per 100 feet of cubic feet of water (about 748 gallons of water), the village council appeared ready to increase the cost of parking at the village-owned lot at the Forest Park Blue Line and beginning to charge for parking on Madison Street.

These were just some of the ideas Village Administrator Tim Gillian presented to the council on Oct. 5 in a lengthy working session.

The new sewer tax is estimated to cost the average homeowner an additional $18.50 a month.

“It is the right thing to do,” said Mayor Anthony Calderone. “Most communities have a sewer tax.”

The sewer tax is also attractive to village officials because the village’s sewer system is aging and the revenue from a sewer tax could be used to pay off bonds that the village could issue in the future to raise money to modernize the system.

“We have an aging infrastructure,” Gillian said. “We struggle to find funds to do a small amount of new work and keep up on maintenance.”

Surviving Roosevelt construction at the Wine House

W

hen we did our survey of Roosevelt Road businesses to see how they were impacted by the construction, the owners of Amy’s Wine House were not available for comment. We finally caught up with Amy Storey and Mark Calahan, to see how they had survived the streetscape reconstruction.

They had recently moved their restaurant to 7235 Roosevelt Road and were glad to get established at their new location before the earth movers started rolling. They knew the project was imminent but had no idea how it would impact their business.

Amy was grateful for the communication they received from the village. She singled out Tim Gillian for responding to all of her questions and e-mails.

She also attended meetings at village hall to see the plans and exchange contact information with the construction company.

The architect passed out his business card and described how the sidewalks would be re-done but there would be no bump-outs.

Amy would have welcomed a bump-out.

She would have been satisfied with a sidewalk, though, when the project started in April. Mark said they endured a three-

JOHN RICE

week period, without a public sidewalk. He got especially worried when the project stalled in June due to a lack of state funds.

Fortunately, the trucks returned after the budget impasse was settled.

This didn’t mean the dust settled. Mark had to dust the tables and wash the floor every day. He received some valuable help from his 8-year-old daughter, Elsie. Mark was also grateful to the restaurant’s customers, who are a hearty bunch.

They did a fair amount of complaining about the construction, but it didn’t deter them from dining there.

They grumbled about the parking and worried about being ticketed on the side streets. Mark was grateful their residential neighbors didn’t protest when patrons parked in front of their houses. It also helped that many of the restaurant’s regulars take pride in walking there. They make a point of telling Mark they walked over. They come from Forest Park, Berwyn and south Oak Park and many have to negotiate the “angry intersection” of Harlem & Roosevelt.

Westbound motorists stuck at this intersection were especially angry after crawling down Roosevelt for miles. When the light changed, they turned Roosevelt into a drag strip. Eastbound traffic was more sedate and the partners were grateful

for the back-up that gave drivers plenty of time to check out the restaurant.

They drew customers from the traffic jam and others came thanks to word-ofmouth recommendations. Despite the difficulty customers had in navigating the construction, the partners didn’t see any drop-off in business. Amy never saw the construction as an obstacle and thinks the project will be worthwhile in the long run.

In the meantime, the partners find creative ways to fill the place. They host painting parties, wine tastings, and provide live music every Saturday. The cozy restaurant is a perfect gathering place for book clubs, or a women’s night out.

It was also the perfect place for my family to honor the memory of my late brother Dan. He and his fiancé, Tam, were good friends of the owners and regulars at the restaurant. Instead of tapas, they served us the “Dan Special” a simple dish of chicken and rice. What can I say, he was Irish.

Yearbook shows off new digs in Constitution Court One hundred fans, friends and family members celebrated with owners Jeff Anderson and Noel Eberline at the open house they hosted at Yearbook’s new location in Constitution Court last Thursday.

The move was occasioned by the owners’ decision to let go of the retail side of Yearbook and focus entirely on the design side of their business. The new space at 408 Thomas, which formerly housed a dry cleaner, still has the feel of the Yearbook store which had a successful six-year run.

Anderson and Eberline restored the pressed tin ceiling and furnished the office with a mix of antique and modern furniture.

Author and stylist Suze Solari raved about the new space writing, “Jeff & Noel have one upped themselves on this bright and lovely new office & studio — a true Yearbook aesthetic! Thrilled they stayed in

In addition to the desks for the two owners, the open space has a desk for a newly hired graphic designer named Andy Madden and a desk for Jenny Shepherd who will do public relations for Yearbook, in addition to the

work she does for clients in her own PR consulting and strategizing firm.

Yearbook is perhaps best known in Forest Park for creating the “See Forest Park” marketing campaign with banners displayed on Madison Street light poles. Yearbook has designed logos for 30 businesses,

according to Shepherd, in just this past year alone.

Shepherd, who has worked with Anderson and Eberline in the past as a consultant, is excited about the new collaboration. “When Jeff and Noel approached me about moving my office into the new studio, I jumped at the chance,” she said.

“Our talents are so complementary. This is a big step for me, and after three years working on my own, I can’t wait to jump into the creative environment of the new studio.”

“What a fabulous night at the new Yearbook Studio,” said Adrienne Smith, co-founder of Family Flow Yoga. “Jeff, Noel and Jenny certainly know how to throw a party! Incredible food from Obsessed served in their warm and inviting new studio is the perfect environment for creativity and inspiration.”

Cultural park gets a boost from the National Park Service Technical assistance grant could help committee connect with funding sources

By JOHN RICE Contributing Reporter

“Who could better help us to develop a park than the National Park Service?” declared Ralph Di Febo. He was reacting to the news that the village was awarded a Technical Assistance Grant from the NPS to help make the Cultural Park a reality. The grant is coming from the agency’s Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) branch.

It is not a monetary grant but a technical assistance grant to direct the Cultural Park Committee to possible funding sources and help them develop partnerships. RTCA is dedicated to connecting urban dwellers to natural resources, like rivers, trails and other conservation projects.

The point person for RTCA is Mike Mencarini, who has been meeting with the committee and village officials. “We toured the whole parcel with Mike and Mayor Calderone,” Di Febo said. “The mayor said he didn’t want to see the property go to developers. I see the cultural park as a facelift for Forest Park, it will improve our image.”

Di Febo had first heard about the NPS program from Mayor Calderone when he was starting up his committee. He worked with a number of committee members to apply for the grant. Kim Rostello, who has a back-

ground in the field of recreation, helped draft the proposal. She is excited that it was accepted.

“The skills of the RTCA are valuable.

They came to the village council meeting and said the cultural park was definitely a worthwhile project. They sense the excitement of local residents and will jump on the bandwagon.”

Working with the Cultural Park Committee is tailor-made for the RTCA. They are seeking community groups who share their vision for preserving greenspace and giving residents greater access to nature.

“It’s a perfect fit for Forest Park,” Rostello said of the cultural park. “It’s a communitybuilder and it has something for everyone.”

The RTCA has attended meetings of the committee and watched their presentation for the project. “They can steer the ship,” Di Febo said. The agency is dedicated to providing assistance for projects that create networks of trails and parks, which is also the vision of the committee.

Mayor Calderone is equally thrilled about the RTCA grant.

“We are super-excited to have the National Park Service at our disposal to aid us as we move forward with the project,” Calderone said. “Their expertise in this initiative will be invaluable and we are extremely grateful for this award.”

If you recently found a box of old VHS tapes in your parents’ basement and you want to transfer them to a CD or a USB file, Michael Bambacht at Chicago Producers, which recently opened at 7507 Madison St. here in Forest Park, can do that for you.

Bill Vala, his business partner, said Bambacht handles the retail or consumer side of the business. He noted that many families have a lot of mini-DVD tapes they’ve taken of their kids over the years and would like to consolidate them into one CD, file or video.

“We get a lot of walk-ins for that,” he said.

On the other hand, if you own a business and what you need is rebranding or the creation of a marketing package, Vala is the person to see.

LaSalle Bank wanted to expand their business into the Detroit area about 15 years ago and hired Vala to design a way to market their bank to executives at high-end firms in the Motor City. All the bank asked for was a baseball theme since the Detroit Tigers were doing well at the time.

What Chicago Producers came up with is a box in which a florist would put roses, and printed “Are you covering all your bases?” on the cover and shipped directly to the desks of the CEOs of the companies they were targeting. When the execs opened the box they found a baseball bat with their name laser-carved on the barrel and LaSalle Bank carved where the manufacturer’s trademark would ordinarily appear along with the business card of an official at the bank.

“We charged LaSalle Bank $45,000 for developing that campaign,” said Vala, “and they netted $40 million in business.”

Like many other startups, Chicago Producers started in a basement. Back in 1997, Vala was working for Anderson Consulting, building server farms for in-house use. He was making big money but felt the itch to get back to something more creative.

So he quit his job, grabbed his camera and three of his friends, and started photographing rock bands in bars as they performed.

Sometimes they would do three in one night.

“I was 25,” he said, “and I like live music.

We invested $150,000 in multiple cameras and other equipment, but in the first year we made only $3,000. We realized pretty quickly that we liked doing it, but there was no way we could make a business out of it.

The bands liked our pictures but didn’t have the money to pay us for them.”

The foursome stumbled on some music

people who asked if they duplicated DVDs. They replied “sure,” even though they’d never done it before, spent some money on a duplicating machine, cranked out the product, and delivered it on time.

“We got paid pretty well,” Vala recalled, “and it was then that we saw a vision of what could come of this.”

At that point, Vala’s three buddies were all helping “dupe” CDs in the basement of his Wicker Park townhouse without being paid because they enjoyed the work and hanging out with friends. Unlike their first attempt at making money, they started picking up clients, and Mike Bambacht quit his job to join his friend in this entrepreneurial adventure. One thing led to another and, with 13 employees on Chicago’s West Side, Chicago Producers crossed the million-dollar threshold in revenue in 2006.

Problem was, despite the huge increase in revenue, more money went out than came in. “We lost $70,000 that year,” Vala explained, “because we spent so much on salaries and benefits.”

So earlier this year, in an effort to cut their expenses, as well as get out of a dangerous neighborhood, Bambacht and Vala started checking out other locations in the Chicago Metro Area. Vala said the Forest Park location on Madison Street “just popped up.”

When they checked the place out, it was a mess, but they were able to picture what it would like if they gutted and rehabbed the space. Another selling point was that it’s on street level which is important for walk-in customers.

They also saw what was happening on the street.

“Look at this area!” Vala said. “It’s lively.

There are always people walking up and down the street. The community is doing things like festivals and the parade. We didn’t have that where we were. We love that kind of stuff. We love being part of the community.”

The two owners of Chicago Producers feel they’re now in a good situation. With a staff of just two people, they’ve cut expenses. They’re still doing what they love to do and now have the space to do it. “Our place on Western Avenue was cramped,” Vala explained. “Now we have the space to keep our cameras and lighting all set up and don’t have to take it down for another activity.”

And they feel much safer in the village with “small town charm.”

“I tell people that where we were we had bars on the windows,” said Vala laughing.

“Now we’re located between two bars.”

FEE HIKES

Revenue needed to balance budget from page 1 sewer tax would encourage water conservation in addition to providing a revenue source.

“Nobody likes additional taxes but this program should sell itself,” Glinke said.

Gillian said a $2.80 per 100 cubic feet of water sewer tax would put Forest Park in the middle of the pack compared with surrounding communities. Oak Park charges the equivalent of $1.95 per 100 cubic feet of water while River Forest charges $4.30.

Sewer tax revenue would be used only to replace water mains in the short term and to fund longer-term infrastructure. No sewer tax revenue would go to the village’s general fund.

Increasing the daily parking fee at the village-owned CTA lot from $3 to $5 would raise about $200,000 in additional revenue. Raising the parking fee to $5 a day would mean it would cost the same to park at the village-owned lot as it does at the less convenient, and lightly-used, CTA lot just south the expressway.

“If we go to $5 I still think it’s a bargain,” said Commissioner Dan Novak.

Gillian said he believed Madison Street business owners would support charging for parking on Madison Street, with parking limited to three hours during the day. Some business owners would like parking to remain free in the evening.

A pay box system, similar to what exists in Chicago, would be established, although Forest Park would use the

latest technology, which would eliminate the need to place a paper parking receipt in your car. There would be likely two pay boxes on each block.

Some believe limiting parking on Madison to three hours during the day would help business by making parking easier for customers.

“I think what we have now is a lot of owners and employees parking there so customers can’t park there,” Commissioner Joe Brynes said.

In a memo to the village council, Gillian suggested charging 50 cents an hour during the day and one dollar an hour at night.

This could generate additional revenue of about $400,000 Gillian estimated.

The parking company, Total Parking Solutions, would pay for the installation of the pay boxes and the village and TPS would split the parking revenue until the pay boxes are paid off. Pay boxes cost about $9,000 each. It is possible that pay boxes could also be installed on some side streets close to Madison.

Charging for parking on Roosevelt Road from Harlem to Circle is also being considered.

Forest Park Review, October 11, 2017

The fees for parking permits which allow owners to park at village-owned lots throughout town is also probably going up. Gillian is recommending raising the day and night parking permits by $15 each and raising the cost of a 24-hour parking permit by $25 a month. Currently, a day parking permit pass costs $20 a month, $25 for night parking, and $40 for a 24-hour pass.

The council is also poised to raise the cost of parking tickets. The cost of a ticket for parking overnight on the streets could rise from $30 to $50. This could bring in at least $173,000 in additional revenue. Any $20 ticket could be raised to $30.

The village will likely increase its garbage fee which has not been raised since 2012. The village will now seek to increase the fee in line with rise in the consumer price index, which governs the increases the village’s waste hauler, Republic Services, charges the village.

The village is also considering allowing the installation of two additional red light enforcement cameras, one on eastbound Madison at Harlem and the other on eastbound Jackson at Harlem. Currently there are three red light cameras in the village, operated by the company Red Speed.

The village will also seek new bids on its paramedic services.

Commissioners were not enthusiastic about imposing a place-of-eating tax on restaurants.

“I think it may be worthy of further discussion down the road,” Calderone said.

The council is not likely to vote on any of tax and fee increases until December. Byrnes suggested holding a town hall community meeting to gather citizen input on the proposals before taking formal action.

“Any time you’re raising fees, people will get upset,” Calderone acknowledged.

ANTHEM PROTEST

Part of nationwide response from page 1 on the field doesn’t compare to the bigger picture, said Proviso East head football coach DeWan White.

“This is more than just a game,” said White during a Saturday night phone interview. “We want to do what’s right and win at life. This game can only last for so long.”

White said the demonstration was in response to a statement made by President Donald Trump last month about NFL players, some of whom have taken to kneeling during ■ To see video the National Anthem in protest against police brutality toward LOG ON TO African Americans.

FORESTPARKREVIEW.COM “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a b– off the field right now, out, he’s fired.

In response, some owners of NFL teams demonstrated with their players before games following the president’s remarks, with an increasing number of people across the country getting in on the dissent.

Last week, a portion of the Oak Park and River Forest High School varsity football team, in addition to some members of the marching band, knelt during the National Anthem.

“There’s no law stating that you have to stand for the Anthem,” said White. “I think Trump is saying you can

White said “there’s a strong possibility” that the team will kneel before its last two remaining games this season.

Villages team up again on Harlem bridge request Forest Park, River Forest and Oak Park to submit joint grant application

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

Once again, the villages of Forest Park, Oak Park and River Forest are teaming up to seek federal funding for a $27 million project to replace the 105-year-old viaduct at the intersection of Harlem Avenue and South Boulevard.

The three towns have previously applied for such funding but been turned down.

The Oak Park Board of Trustees recently approved a resolution directing the village to apply for a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant with the U.S. Department of Transportation. The Forest Park Village Council was expected to do the same at its meeting on Oct. 10 after the Forest Park review’s press time.

The local project has not previously made the cut in the highly competitive search for TIGER grant funding.

If federal funding does come through, it is expected to cover 80 percent of the cost of the project, according to a memo included in the Forest Park council’s meeting packet on the village’s website.

divided equally between Forest Park and River Forest.

If the grant is awarded this year, design work reportedly would begin in 2018 and construction in 2020.

The project entails replacing the existing bridge, lowering the Harlem Avenue roadway to reduce truck strikes to the viaduct, and adding pedestrian and aesthetic enhancements, according to documents in the online council meeting packet.

The support column in the viaduct also would be removed in an effort to improve traffic flow through the underpass.

The grant application notes that the improvements to the bridge and adjacent CTA station dovetails with the introduction of several transit-oriented developments in the area.

“Together they will bring 719 new housing units to the area along with significant new retail and commercial space,” the File photo grant application notes, adding, “These new developments are expected to produce The viaduct at Harlem and South Boulevard is slated for rehab. an additional 371 car trips and 161 transit trips every day, increasing the need for a The remaining cost of the project, rough- three communities – about $2.7 million to Harlem Multimodal Bridge in a state of ly $5.4 million, would be split between the Oak Park (50 percent), and the remainder good repair.”

PROVISO EAST FOOTBALL

Proviso East Versus Proviso West 10/7/17 Proviso East (0-7) and Proviso West (2-5) teed off against one another at the annual East versus West game in Maywood this past Saturday. Excitement was in the air as both marching bands battled each other as the teams warmed up. The Panthers started the scoring on a short TD run by quarterback Deveon Bryant. The Pirates’ James Hobson pinned the Panthers to their 1 yard line with a brilliant 63 yard punt, but the Panthers immediately responded with a spectacular 94 yard TD pass from Bryant to Justin Bruns.

East retaliated when a strip sack and fumble recovery by Rayman Morgan led to a 36 yard

TD pass from Hobson to Lateak Hunt.

Lateak Hunt was injured on the play and was taken from the field in an ambulance. West ended the first half scoring on a Devon Head 74 yard touchdown run.

In the second half the Panthers run game led by Deveon Bryant and running back Tyrese Christian proved to be more than East could handle. Bryant’s 1 rushing touchdown and Christian’s 2 rushing touchdowns sandwiched a weaving 35 yard touchdown catch by the Pirates’ Kurt Sturghill and the game was never in doubt. Final score: Proviso West 43 – Proviso East 12.

In that case, I’ll just take it A security employee at Walmart, 1300 Desplaines Ave., summoned police on Oct. 3 about 10:15 p.m. after a customer walked out of the store without paying for a 40-inch flat panel TV. According to the police report, an employee informed security that a customer had tried paying for the Vizio LED TV, valued at $318, with a credit card that was declined numerous times.

So the customer placed the TV back in a shopping cart and wheeled it past the selfcheckout line without paying.

Battery

708-628-8888 | cubesmart.com

Police charged a 23-year-old Chicago man with battery after he allegedly punched a 23-year-old Oak Park man in the nose during an altercation outside of Short Stop tavern, 7431 Madison St., about 1 a.m. on Oct. 2.

It’s unclear what prompted the altercation between the two men. The victim was taken to Rush Oak Park Hospital for treatment.

BB through the window

*Restrictions, taxes and fees may apply. Call for details.

Police responded to a residence in the 600 block of Thomas Avenue on the morning of Oct. 4 after a resident called to report that he’d discovered a large hole in the window portion of his front door. The damage occurred overnight.

Police reported finding a marble-sized white BB/ball between the screen door and main front door. That size projectile, said police, is more commonly fired via slingshot.

Keep it down Forest Park police issued an excessive noise citation to a 58-year-old New Lenox man who was dropping off equipment related to the construction project at Thorntons gas station, 601 Harlem Ave. at 5:25 a.m. on Oct. 5.

A resident who lives near the business called police. The man who was dropping off the equipment, an excavator, said he’s never had a problem before. The village’s noise ordinance states that excessive business noise is not allowed between the hours of 6 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Vehicle break-in After an unidentified citizen turned in several items — including a car manual, an ID card and other papers — from the lawn of a home in the 100 block of Belvidere Avenue

Tip hotline Anyone with information regarding the cases mentioned in this report, or on another matter, is encouraged to contact the Forest Park police department’s hotline at 708-615-6239.

Information may be left anonymously.

on the night of Oct. 5, police traced those items to a vehicle belonging to a resident of the 7300 block of Randolph Street, which appears to have been burglarized.

In addition to the above items, which were traced to the victim’s vehicle, the citizen also turned in a multicolored Coach purse found in front of a home, possibly in the 100 block of Brown Avenue.

The owner of the vehicle said the only other item that appeared to be missing from her car was an orange Vera Bradley purse.

She had last been in the vehicle about 6 p.m.

The items were found on Belvidere Avenue around 10:20 p.m.

Package stolen A 27-year-old Forest Park woman contacted police on Oct. 5 to report that sometime between 1:15 and 1:45 p.m., someone stole an Amazon package that was delivered in the secure lobby of her apartment building.

The package reportedly contained two PlayStation controllers, hair care products, and bicycle lights. The loss was valued at about $125.

Theft at Blue Line station A 44-year-old Chicago woman called police to report that her black cloth shopping bag, which contained a GPS ankle bracelet charger, a state ID card, birth certificate and Social Security card, was taken from a bench on the north side of the CTA Blue Line terminal, 711 Desplaines Ave. on Oct. 3 between 9 and 10 a.m.

The victim, who was on her way to the Maybrook courthouse in Maywood, told police she left her bag on the bench by mistake, and it was gone when she returned.

Brass knuckles and BB gun Forest Park police charged a 21-year-old Chicago man with unlawful use of a weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia after routine traffic stop on Oct. 3 about 1:25 a.m. in the 1200 block of Harlem Avenue.

Police pulled the vehicle over after a computer check of the license plate revealed that the vehicle’s owner had an active warrant out of LaSalle County. During the traffic stop, police observed a glass pipe used for smoking cannabis.

After arresting the driver, police also searched a backpack which contained a black P15B BB gun and a set of brass knuckles, which was attached to the holster.

These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, Oct. 2-6, 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 O U R

V I E W

Time to hike fees

T

here is only so far you can cut a budget. Forest Park’s village leaders have concluded they have reached that point in their effort to balance a particularly difficult annual budget imbalance. And now they turn to the inevitable and unhappy process of “revenue enhancements.”

In a non-Home Rule community such as Forest Park, the options to grow tax revenue are limited by state law.

It leaves a raft of hikes in parking ticket fees, additional paid parking spaces, a new sewer tax and an increase in the garbage collection fee.

With last week’s grudging nod from the village council, the administration will now go back and quantify how the various mix of revenue builders fit together. It is possible that a community meeting might be held to gauge the reaction of voters.

Transparency is always welcome and laying out the difficult circumstances is a good idea. But the truth is these are the kinds of decisions we elect sincere people to make.

No one wants to pay more in fees and taxes, and they are unlikely to come out on a cold November evening to say thanks.

Among the ideas put forward, some are more equal than others and some are just plain overdue. In an aging community, with the infrastructure to prove it, a sewer tax dedicated to fixing, or even getting ahead, of what goes wrong underground is a necessity.

A hike in the garbage fee is a no-brainer. Why there haven’t been small but steady increases since 2012 is just a mistake. Take your increases gradually.

The decision to hike the fees Blue Line commuters pay in village lots is also past due. Having a Hillside or Elmhurst resident pay $5 a day, up from $3, is a simple decision. Why not $6? Adding paid parking and limiting it to three hours along Madison Street is also overdue.

How many of those precious spaces have been taken up by business owners and employees all these years? Plenty.

We strongly oppose additional red light cameras. These cameras are a scam perpetrated by municipalities on hardworking citizens. They steal cash; they don’t improve auto safety.

Having your back to the wall forces clearer thinking.

And we like much of what we see here.

Grants beget grants

Cash is king. But if you can’t get cash, then a “technical assistance grant” isn’t bad. Forest Park’s worthy dream of a “Culture Park” on a portion of the village-owned land at the Altenheim just got a boost from the National Park Service.

It comes in the form of free advice and skills from the park service’s Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program in figuring out the viability of the homegrown idea of a performing arts center at Altenheim. These are professionals who will help evaluate what has been, until now, the grassroots dream of talented local people.

Of course, nothing goes forward, nothing gets built without actual cash. Village government is waiting semi-patiently to see if its grant proposal to the RTA/Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning comes through shortly. That’s money that would be used to fund a broader feasibility study.

All in all, good headway for the culture park that could.

Amusing ourselves across the Great Plains

I

spent last weekend driving 1,344 miles around Nebraska and Kansas, which was millions of times more fun than it sounds. This was, in large part, due to the Greatest Road Trip Game Ever, about which more anon. First a few plugs for the Great Plains: ■■Stopped at random in Norfolk, Nebraska, to get coffee. The town is tiny, and it has a standard tiny-town museum. Signs from old restaurants, pictures of past worthies, complimentary quotes from governors, pictures of floods, that sort of thing. This one, though, also has a one-room exhibit that could be in the Smithsonian because Norfolk is the hometown of Johnny Carson. So in the room right past Merle’s plow and a mailbox with a waterline 4 inches from the top are five Emmys, Carson’s coffee cup and desk, Karnak’s turban, and other treasures. It was great.

■■A friend asked me if it was a barbecue tour. It was not. What the Plains do great is chicken-fried steak, and god bless them for it.

■■The Geographic Center of the United States is nearly as remote as Four Corners National Monument, 100% as artificial and pointless, and yet several orders of magnitude less thrilling. No idea why.

■■Kansas has a world-class Space museum, the Cosmosphere, which was largely the result of a pen-pal friendship between a local enthusiast and the director of the Air & Space Museum at the Smithsonian, when the former asked the latter if they had anything interesting lying around that they could spare. They did. It was great. Did you know the Russians got to the moon first? I don’t recall textbooks mentioning that.

■■I fed a ring-tailed lemur. They like Craisins, it turns out, and if you are lucky, they will grab your hand with their basically-identical-but-smaller hand and yank it closer to look for extra treats.

■■Nebraska not only had elephants, once upon a time, but also rhinoceroses.

Drives across I-80 are poorer than they might have been. Happily, we have a game, Pointless Mount Rushmore. Here’s how you play: Someone in the car names a topic. “The Mount Rushmore of Sandwiches,” say.

The travelers then begin the game. First, folks start

naming their Top Four. The game quickly forks into the first detour, the parameters.

In the case of sandwiches, for example, you can burn several hours on questions like “Is a hamburger a sandwich?” and “Specific sandwiches from specific places, or types of sandwiches?” and “Can I specify the toppings?” (This last one is clutch for peanut butter and jelly, which takes the Roosevelt position if you are allowed to specify strawberry jam and crunchy peanut butter but gets nowhere near Rushmore status with grape jelly.)

For many people, the parameters are the best part. My friend Jon and I once spent two hours of a 40-hour train ride arguing about whether the Beach Boys were a “band.” (My position was that they were a vocal group, like the Temptations, not a band, like the Rolling Stones. His position was that I was un-American.)

Once you finish arguing parameters and asking edge-case questions, you are left to set the Big Four into their appropriate presidentially-identified positions. In debating this, we learned something about the represented presidents themselves: ■■The Washington position belongs to the clear, inarguable number one. (Sandwich example: The grilled cheese) ■■The Lincoln position: Belongs to the closest second, one who might even be the true number one if you cared to argue forever. (Sandwich example: The lobster roll) ■■The Roosevelt position: Belongs to a safe, noncontroversial choice that won’t inspire strong argument for or against. (Sandwich example: The Reuben) ■■The Jefferson position: Belongs to an obvious choice that you cannot argue against at all except for having a glaring flaw that means you totally can argue against it, and vociferously. (Sandwich example: The Oreo cookie) Other Pointless Mounts Rushmore from which we derived long, impassioned conversations: American bands, pies, vacation destinations, burger toppings, ice cream flavors, sitcoms.

Happy travels!

New construction heads north The remake of a Taylor Avenue home

By LACEY SIKORA

Contributing Reporter

iverside couple Caren and Nicholas Isopo have been working together to redesign older homes for two years, and recently turned their eyes to their first Oak Park project. Taking on a run-down bungalow in northeast Oak Park, they transformed the house into a full two-story farmhouse with modern conveniences and a charm they say suits the historic housing stock of Oak Park.

Their company is called Safe & Sound Investments, and with Car-

en as the designer and Nicolas as developer, the duo says their mission is to provide “bespoke homes with modern details and refined finishes that are inspired by the character of each structure’s original era and location.”

In combing through real estate listings to find a home appropriate for a flip project, the Isopos were conscious of all the pluses Oak Park offered. Caren’s mother grew up on Taylor Avenue in Oak Park and they knew buyers in Oak Park would appreciate their vision of home.

TAYLOR HOME ‘BoHome’ from page B1 “This area is a really progressive area to get into,” said Caren Isopo. “There are great school districts and parks everywhere. We feel like we’re revitalizing the area a bit.”

Linda Von Vogt of Baird and Warner, who is listing the remodeled property for $749,900, said that the northeast neighborhood of Oak Park is a good place for a home overhaul due to the ability to start from the ground up.

“One of the advantages to this area is that you avoid the tremendous amount of restrictions that you might have in the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District,” Vogt said.

“That really allowed Caren to use her vision on the home.”

Being your own boss As a designer in the hotel industry for a decade, Caren knew the ins and outs of design but was looking for a career with less time on the road after the arrival of her second child. When Nicolas suggested they pair up on a real estate adventure, she was game and knew they had something unique to bring to the development sphere of the near western suburbs.

For Caren, the career move’s benefits were two-fold.

“Our overall goal was to create a business for our family and to feel like we’re putting really spectacular homes on the market,” she said.

“Recently, we were homebuyers for our own family too. We understood that feeling of wanting to put our stamp on a place but not do too much work. Every new construction project we were seeing out there was just basic Home Depot. When you come in this house, it doesn’t feel like a cookie cutter house.”

While she focuses on the design side of the business, creating mood boards and concepts for each home they renovate, Nicolas is focused on the acquisition of houses. Car-

TRANSFORMED: Drawing inspiration from early Oak Park, the new home is a “farm house,” but souped up with all of the amenities modern families are looking for, such as a high-end kitchen (above) and living spaces adequate for entertaining. en says that Oak Park is a very busy market for flippers, and it can be competitive to find the right house for a project. Nicolas trawls the MLS listings, and with the help of Von Vogt found this house, ripe for a makeover, in the summer of 2016.

Listed at $205,000 in 2016, 837 N. Taylor Ave. was a wood-frame bungalow that had seen better days. For the Isopos, it represented the perfect entry into the Oak Park market.

Built in 1917, the bungalow had been renovated over the years but did not stand the test of time. The Isopos took the home down to its foundation and built a new house in its place, complete with a front porch, open floor plan first floor, full second story and full basement level.

“In hospitality, you always have a concept or a purpose behind the design,” said

Caren Isopo, drawing on her hotel design background. “I usually research the history of the street or the home to come up with a design plan. This house didn’t have a specific background, so I turned to Oak Park as a whole for inspiration.”

As she learned about Oak Park’s early settlers, the Kettlestrings, she created a European-style farm house scheme. She then chose accents influenced by the metropolitan feel of Chicago with industrial touches such as dark metals and wire-mesh finishes on light fixtures.

Family-friendly style Conscious of who a typical buyer might be for a five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house, Caren created a home suitable for a family but with the artistic style people might expect

from Oak Park.

With a style she calls “BoHome,” she relied on quality high-end brands such as Rejuvenation, Restoration Hardware and Viking for key pieces in the home. While the neutral interiors in tones of white, black and gray allow the home to become the buyer’s canvas, she sourced tile and hardware that give the home a unique feel.

The kitchen’s farmhouse sink, subway tile and globe pendants over the island offers the style buyers are looking for, and the attached family room and access to the deck make the room suitable for entertaining guests and family. A first-floor office space is separated from the dining room with French doors.

t’s October and the kids are back to school. In our community, the beauty of fall is here, with gorgeous colors lining the streets and the hopes of another shot at a World Series for the Cubs. While the temperatures start to cool the real estate opportunities for savvy buyers rise as the market makes a final push before the holidays.

Here at the Oak Park Area Association of REALTORS®, we felt this a good time to provide an overview of the home buying process. Even if this isn’t your first rodeo, reviewing some basics can be a real benefit to both Buyers and Sellers.

First, it is imperative for Buyers to do your due diligence both before and after signing a contract to purchase a new home. Buying is an “outside-in” process: you start by selecting the city, then the neighborhood, block, exterior of the home, and finally the interior living space. If any of the first four are objectionable, then most likely you won’t get to the final criteria.

Secondly, decide what you are looking for in your next home. Style, beds, baths and lot size all play an important part. Do you have any deal breakers? Find out your nonnegotiables before falling

in love with a home. Buying a home is a process of elimination prior to selection.

Buyers often buy emotionally and justify logically. An indepth conversation of where you are willing to compromise and what your “must-haves” are, can offer clarity and take the emotional element out of the process.

Other important variables include having your credit in great shape and getting preapproved for a mortgage.

There are several quality lenders who are members of the Oak Park Area Association of REALTORS® and your OPAAR real estate Broker can refer you to those professionals. The time from having an accepted contract to the closing date is often 45-60 days. It is important to avoid making any large purchases that could adversely affect your ability to qualify for a loan during this critical period.

As 2017 heads for a finish, the homes on the market are most likely owned by folks that are truly motivated to sell. There are no “steals” in the market but there are quality homes available for qualified buyers who can make a fair offer and celebrate the holidays in their new home.

Call your OPAAR Broker for more information.

Getting Down To Business

with the Oak Park - River Forest Chamber of Commerce October 8th, 2017

For the Record: We Don’t Vote

I

By CATHY YEN, Executive Director

visited with a friend this week and was surprised to hear her say, “my friend told me the Chamber of Commerce voted for the project.”

The project, of course, is the Albion development at the corner of Lake and Forest - a project that has been divisive since it was first proposed. The fourth of four high rise developments in our downtown area, this one challenged the community to consider just how much density and development it can swallow. And, of course, there’s the park.

What additional damage would this high rise, coupled with the one right next to it, do to the neighboring park?

My friend - and her friends - happened to oppose the project. And that’s okay.

B20 View more at OakPark.com/Real-Estate ■ October 11, 2017

Everyone is entitled to their voice and their opinion.

The Chamber, however, deliberately chooses to forgo having a voice and opinion. On this project and any other issue.

By policy, we did not, do not and will not.

The Chamber’s mission is to connect businesses in the community to resources, information, government, consumers and each other. We are committed to remaining nonpartisan. We define “advocacy” as providing information so that business owners can make their own choices.

Our unwillingness to take a stand even as we try to be supportive is not common knowledge and might be confusing, it would seem. As a business organization in a progressive community, we often find ourselves summarily labeled “pro business” or “the other side” on economic issues.

Some of this is due to inaccurate headlines, but much of it is related to the assumption that we are associated with the

US Chamber of Commerce or the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. We are not.

As the local organization dedicated to community - not just the business community but the entire Oak Park and River Forest community - we are not affiliated with these national or state institutions.

Nor do we have a legislative agenda. We represent a dynamic, diverse business group of businesses, with their own opinions, their own priorities. Our members, many of whom are residents as well, make their own decisions.

We are happy to pass them along, but we don’t presume to decide for them.

Panton Eye Center Doctors Provide Latest Eye Care

T

he Panton Eye Center has provided state-of-the-art eye care for over fifty years. Board-certified ophthalmologists and optometrists offer comprehensive optical, medical, and surgical care including five treatment lasers.

John H. Panton, M.D., founder, comments on the advances made during his career: “Cataract was once a blinding disease. Surgery required a lengthy hospitalization and patients wore thick spectacles post-operatively. That is a thing of the past. Today’s no-shot cataract surgery allows the restoration of normal vision for nearly everyone. What we now consider routine was unimaginable when I began!”

Peter J. Panton, M.D., senior surgeon, describes the surgical elimination of glasses or refractive surgery: “The refractive components of the eye are the cornea (in the front of the eye) and the lens (inside the eye). There are two major refractive procedures: (1) LASIK is the use of a laser to reshape the cornea; (2) Refractive Cataract Surgery is the combina-

tion of a bifocal implant with no-shot cataract surgery. For both our LASIK patients and our Refractive Cataract Surgery patients, life without glasses is the anticipated outcome.”

Robert W. Panton, M.D., fellowship-trained corneal surgeon, defines ALL LASER LASIK: “ALL LASER LASIK is the combination of two lasers to correct vision. The first makes a thin flap of cornea which is gently folded back.

The second reshapes the cornea. The flap is repositioned without the need for stitches.

Prior to surgery, the patient is able to see only the big-E; the morning after ALL LASER LASIK, the patient drives himself for his follow-up exam.”

Elizabeth Panton Karkazis, O.D. explains how contact lenses complement refractive surgery in a comprehensive practice: “Teenagers are too young for LASIK and not every adult is a suitable candidate for LASIK. When surgery is not an option, contact lenses remain a valuable tool to satisfy a patient’s optical needs.”

Dr. Peter Panton Discusses Cataract Surgery & Bifocal Implants Dr. Panton, what is a cataract and how is it treated?

A cataract is the clouding of the lens inside the eye. Neither drops nor pills can prevent or cure a cataract. The only treatment for a cataract is its surgical removal and its replacement with a clear artificial lens or intraocular lens implant (IOL).

Dr. Peter J. Panton, a graduate of the Brown University School of Medicine, is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and former president of the Chicago Ophthalmological Society.

Call to schedule your Bifocal Implant Evaluation

Panton Eye Center 7740 North Avenue Elmwood Park, IL

708-452-7200 WWW.PANTONEYE.COM

What is the difference between a monofocal implant and a bifocal implant?

In the past, the IOL corrected distance vision only; this is called a monofocal implant. Patients who undergo cataract surgery with a monofocal implant still need reading glasses. Recent advances incorporate a bifocal into the IOL. The bifocal implant allows patients to read without glasses, drive without glasses, and do virtually all of their activities without glasses.

What will I experience during cataract surgery with a bifocal implant?

Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis using eye drops to numb your eye; no shots are necessary. The operation takes approximately 20 minutes after which you will rest for a short time before going home. Post-operatively, you will be asked to instill eye drops for a few weeks after surgery. You will have 90% of you vision back within one day and your eye will be completely healed within two weeks.

How do I find out if bifocal implants are right for me?

While most cataract patients are candidates for this technology, it is best to seek consultation with an ophthalmologist with experience in bifocal implants. If you want to reduce your dependence on glasses after cataract surgery, call Dr. Panton at 708-452-7200 to schedule an appointment.
