Firefighting has seen big changes
And Bob McDermott has seen it all in the last 30 years By TOM HOLMES

Contributing Reporter
ire Chief Bob McDermott has seen a lot of changes in firefighting since he started working for the Forest Park Fire Department in 1986. The Baby Boomer crowd, for example, will remember how firemen in those days would ride to a fire standing on the back of the fire engine and holding on for dear life. Now they ride inside the cab and are required to wear seat belts. One of the biggest changes McDermott noted is that the fires themselves have changed. “They burn hotter and faster and are smokier,” he explained, “because everything nowadays is made of plastic, See FIREFIGHTING CHANGES on page 11

Wisdom from the Book of Jethro Tull
t hasn’t been easy being a hippie all these years. While many of my contemporaries have conformed to society, I’m forever fighting “the man.” I’m still battling at the cultural barricades. I was feeling especially hippie-like recently because the St. Ignatius Class of 1972 was celebrating its reunion. As a member of the committee, I wrote the “Dear Classmate” letter and tracked down the missing alumni. I was also chosen to do the second reading at our reunion Mass. As much as I enjoy mingling with my old friends at the banquet, the Mass has always been the highlight for me. It gives meaning to the proceedings, rather than just being another excuse to party. However, the night before the Mass, my hippie nature took hold. I wasn’t going to read from the Bible. I was going to do a reading in the spirit of 1972. Back then, the priests gave us great latitude at our Masses. We could play music by Led Zeppelin and Buffalo Springfield. We could substitute rock lyrics for scripture. Our favorite source was the album Aqua-
lung. The album described how organized religion was killing Christianity, which is how many of us felt. Some of the lyrics are extremely caustic toward religious leaders, so I chose uplifting ones. I pictured delivering them from the podium of our cozy chapel. It would bring deep meaning to the Mass and my classmates would really appreciate the message. When I arrived for the reunion, I learned the Mass was going to include other classes and be held in Holy Family Church. As I entered this massive glittering cathedral, I was having second thoughts. I approached the lectern and informed the organizer of my plans. To say he looked at me funny would be an understatement. He implored me to stick to the plan and read from St. Paul and I reluctantly agreed. Once again, I was losing to “the man.” Sitting in the pew waiting my turn, I read the words Paul wrote to the Philippians. “Brothers and sisters: I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and being in need.” Non-ma-

terialism: that’s the hippie gospel at its core. Then I thought of Paul. He definitely had some hippie credentials. He was well-educated and grew up in comfort. He was steeped in religion but, in later life, rejected religious orthodoxy and attacked its leaders — sometimes literally. When he wasn’t speaking out at the temple, he made his living as a tent-maker — a hippie trade for sure. So when I rose to deliver his words, I didn’t feel like I was completely selling out. But I’ll always wonder what the reaction would have been had I delivered my message from the counter-culture days: “These are the words of the prophet, Ian Anderson, from the fourth album of Jethro Tull, side two. ‘People what have you done? Locked Him in a golden cage. Made Him bend to your religion. Him resurrected from the grave. He is the God of nothing, if that is all you can see. You’re the God of everything. He’s inside you and me. I saw Him in the city and on the mountains of the moon. Lord Jesus save us! And the Lord said, I’m not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.’” That last part was certainly true. Our mass was on a Saturday. n John Rice is a columnist/private detective, who has seen his business and family thrive in Forest Park. He thoroughly enjoys life in the village and still gets a thrill smelling Red Hots, watching softball and strolling through cemeteries.

Rain date for the dearly departed For the first time in a quarter century, the annual Historical Society cemetery walk was rained out, thanks to Sunday’s deluge. “I guess after 25 straight years without a washout, the law of averages caught up to us,” said Frank Lipo, executive director of the Historical Society of Oak Park & River Forest. Undaunted, they will try again this Sunday, Oct. 29 at 1 p.m. inside the gates of Forest Home Cemetery on Desplaines Avenue in Forest Park. The theme of this year’s “Tales of the Tombstones” is “Immigrants: They Get the Job Done,” focusing on six stories, brought to life by 11 actors: n A German man and a Russian woman who helped improve working conditions for many American workers n A German immigrant who showed his love of his adopted country by serving in World War I. What sacrifices did he face?

Culture park turned down for CMAP grant By ROBERT J. LIFKA Contributing Reporter
Forest Park’s hopes for financial assistance in studying the feasibility of creating a cultural park in the village suffered a setback last week. Mayor Anthony Calderone announced at Monday’s village council meeting that Forest Park was not included when the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) announced their 34 projects approved for funding. Last week’s announcement follows a decision earlier this month by the National Park Service to award the village a technical assistance grant from the agency’s Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) branch to help officials create the cultural park for year-round use on village-owned property near the Altenheim Retirement Home at Madison and Van Buren streets. Unlike the CMAP grant, the National Park Service grant is not a monetary grant. Instead, the Park Service will assist village officials to identify possible funding sources and help them develop partnerships. RTCA is dedicated to connecting urban dwellers to natural resources, such as rivers, trails and other conservation projects.

At the Oct. 10 village council meeting, he termed the Park Service grant a “great step” toward creating the cultural park.
“Although not a monetary grant, I think it will prove to be very beneficial in assisting all of us in terms of identifying resources that exist that can aid us as we continue to work on this project,” he said. In response to a question from Commissioner Joseph Byrnes on Monday, Calderone said he does not currently plan to create a feasibility committee of residents although he said he would have done so had the village received the CMAP grant. He estimated the cost of a feasibility study to be around $100,000. The village bought the 11-acre property for $3.6 million in 2001, and over the years several ideas for development, including from Fenwick High School and the West Cook YMCA, were eventually scrapped. CMAP, in partnership with the Regional Transportation Authority, announced approval of 34 new projects to help local governments, nonprofits, and intergovernmental collaborators address issues at the intersections of transportation, land use and quality of life. The new activities will be supported by CMAP’s Local Technical Assistance program, which has undertaken more than 200 projects since 2012 to help the region’s communities plan for increased livability, sustainability, and economic vitality.

Schools mobilize to aid family displaced by fire ‘We stick together,’ says Field-Stevenson School principal By JOHN RICE Contributing Reporter
When fire devastated the two-flat at 1124 Marengo Ave. during the early morning hours of Oct. 14, it didn’t take long for the news to reach Field-Stevenson School, where one of those displaced, Erick Ortega, attends fourth grade. Principal Tiffany Brunson was notified of the fire the morning after it happened. “I received a Facebook message at 7 a.m.,” Brunson recalled. Brunson, in turn, contacted District 91 Superintendent Lou Cavallo and school board members. The students and staff at FieldStevenson immediately mobilized to help Ortega and his mother, Crystal Lewis. “We stick together to be helpful,” Brunson said, “It’s typical of this community.” Students donated money, while staff members and local residents donated clothing. “People have dropped off suitcases and boxes of clothing,” Brunson said, “Virginia lugs the clothing over to Carole’s.” She was referring to her secretary, Virginia Pusavc, who brought the donations to the tavern at 7311 Roosevelt Road. “We teach altruism at Field-Stevenson,” Brunson said. “We have raised money for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico and Texas. We also collected diapers, batteries and water for the hurricane victims. We’ve raised money for students who have lost their parent. We’re collecting socks for [the homeless].” At the time of the fire, the students were busy raising money for the Wildlife Foundation to adopt endangered animals. They gave the surplus to Erick’s family. Brunson and Pusavc spread the word in the District 91 community. “All the schools are donating money,” Brunson said.

Crystal Lewis is certainly grateful for the outpouring of help from the community. She is relieved that their possessions are covered by renter’s insurance. She is also thankful that her boyfriend, building owner Eric Jensen, is covered for the fire loss. Lewis and Jensen are temporarily staying at an extended-stay hotel in Oak Brook, with their two dogs. Ortega is staying with an aunt in Lynwood, but Lewis hoped to have him back in school this week. “I’m so grateful that everyone made it out safe,” Lewis said, “When it first happened, it was just devastating. We lost everything.” When she learned how many in the community cared, it eased the pain. “It makes you feel you’re not alone,” Lewis said. “It’s a huge comfort. We’ve never been through this before.” The fire was still raging when neighbors poured out of their homes to help. “They brought us socks, shirts, water and leashes for our dogs,” said Lewis, “We love our neighborhood.” Brunson said she’s proud of how the neighborhood schools also stepped up. “Our students can see how people can be impacted by the help they give,” she said. “They know their giving can help a family heal.”

Forest Park Review, October 25, 2017
Grand jury indicts Forest Park man for murder Nestor Soto, the Forest Park resident and Chicago restaurant owner accused of stabbing his younger brother to death during the early morning hours of Sept. 20, was indicted by a Cook County grand jury on Oct. 13 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The 38-year-old Soto, who is under electronic monitoring and is allowed only at home or at work, will be arraigned on Nov. 8 at the Maybrook courthouse. Soto is accused of killing his 25-year-old brother, Ivens NESTOR SOTO Soto, after a night of drinking at a Forest Park bar. The two men were the only ones inside Nestor Soto’s home in the 7700 block of Adams Street that night, according to the prosecutor at Soto’s bond hearing last month. Nestor Soto, the chef/owner of The Whistle Pig, a barbecue restaurant in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago, called police about 1 p.m. on Sept. 20 after finding his brother’s body in the kitchen. When police arrived, the prosecutor told a Cook County judge at the bond hearing, they found Nestor Soto covered in blood, with dried blood in his ear and his front and back sides. Police executed a search warrant on Nestor Soto’s phone, but it had been reset to factory defaults, the prosecutor said. Soto’s attorney told the judge that his client had been accused only because he found the body. The prosecutor said there were no signs of forced entry to the home, but noted there was a realty lock box on the front door. It also had not been tampered with.

Silverland solicits applications for $2K grant Bakery seeks nonprofits that empower women and girls By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter
Forest Park’s Silverland Bakery is asking nonprofit organizations, whose mission is helping women and girls, to apply for a $2,000 grant they will be awarding. Peter Wodek, Silverland’s sales director, said the grant will be funded by the Silverland Bakery Fund for Women and Girls, which is managed by the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation. He said the fund “gives grants and donations to worthy women and girls-focused organizations.” Wodek said Silverland is a relatively small, family-owned business which can’t match the large grants given out by big corporations, but their grants go to smaller nonprofits for whom a $2,000 grant is “a real blessing.” He explained that Athena Uslander, who owns Silverland, is “trying to empower and encourage smaller organizations that work with girls and women. Organizations that have received grant money in the past include: ■ Mercado Global, which helps artisans in Guatemala; ■ Girls in the Game, whose mission is to “help every girls to find her voice, discover her strength and and lead with confidence through fun and active sports, health and leadership programs”; ■ Harmony, Hope & Healing, a nonprofit that serves people in Englewood, Woodlawn, South Chicago, and the West Side to create a
“Athena found that women of all levels of success, age, looks, and nationality shared the common thread of not feeling beautiful. She felt inspired to help women going through hardships get on their feet, help their families, and gain control of their lives.” PETER WODEK
Silverland’s sales director
safe environment where vulnerable individuals and families heal and rebuild through the restorative power of music; and ■ The Maywood Tennis Association. Uslander’s commitment to empowering girls and women started on a whim. She heard that Unilever was looking for six women who were at least 50 years old to be spokeswomen for their Dove Pro-Age campaign. She was chosen to serve as a model and spokesperson and “has toured the globe talking about aging, self-esteem and being a female entrepreneur through press outlets like Oprah and The Today Show.” “Athena found that women of all levels of success, age, looks, and nationality shared the common thread of not feeling beautiful,” Wodek said. “She felt inspired to help women going through hardships get on their feet, help their families, and gain control of their lives.” Several times a year, all of the proceeds
from the small café in front of the Silverland bakery are transferred to the fund for women and girls and matched by the company. There is also a little box on the counter of the café labeled Athena’s Fund for Women and Girls in which customers can place donations. Uslander started her brownie business in 1983. She prides herself on using locallysourced, high-quality, all-natural ingredients in small batches. A press release noted, “Thirty years ago, Silverland Bakery founder Athena Uslander left her job as an engineer to follow her passion. Since 1983, Silverland’s master artisans have handmade brownies, baker bars and cookies with the same love and care.” To apply for the grant, write to Athena Uslander at Silverland Brownies, 439 Desplaines in Forest Park or contact her through Peter Wodek at peter@silverlandbaker.com. Call 708-488-0800 if you have questions.
Man shot during altercation in Madison Street parking lot Victim still hospitalized; shooter remains at large By BOB UPHUES Senior Editor
A man remains hospitalized and in serious condition after being shot four times during an altercation in the Constitution Court parking lot in the 7400 block of Madison Street around 2:15 a.m. on Oct. 21, according to Forest Park police. On Oct. 21, police had reported the victim’s condition as “fair.” Few details are being released at this time because the incident is still being investigated. As of Monday afternoon, no one was in custody for the shooting, police said. According to a press release issued by Forest Park police,
the shooting followed an earlier physical altercation between 4-5 patrons inside Doc Ryan’s, 7432 Madison St., which is next door to the parking lot where the shooting took place. The altercation reportedly continued outside in the parking lot. Police have recovered “one firearm,” but it is not clear at this time whether the firearm belonged to the gunman or someone else. A friend drove the shooting victim to Rush Oak Park Hospital for treatment. The victim subsequently was transported to Loyola University Medical Center, which is a trauma center, where he underwent surgery to remove a bullet from his body, police said.

Forest Park settles federal suit against police officer Woman who accused cop of rape to be paid $191,000
By BOB UPHUES Senior Editor
A woman who sued the village of Forest Park last year, accusing an on-duty Forest Park police officer of raping her inside her home, will be paid $191,000 to settle the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court last December. According to the terms of the settlement agreement, obtained by the Forest Park Review through a Freedom of Information request, $100,000 of the settlement payment will come from the village of Forest Park and $85,000 will come from the village’s insurer, Illinois Counties Risk Management Trust. An additional $6,000 will come from the village out of funds that were to be paid to the accused officer, Roberto Salas, in sick leave pay owed to him. Salas, a 20-year veteran of the Forest Park Police Department, retired from the force in August. Police Chief Thomas Aftanas initially had fired Salas from his job two weeks prior to the woman filing suit in federal
court. However, Salas never was charged with a crime. The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, based on an investigation undertaken by the Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force, informed the village last April it “found no conduct by the officer which would give rise to criminal charges.” The Illinois State Police’s investigative report, which includes some 800 pages of documents, has been partially obtained by the Forest Park Review through a Freedom of Information request. Interviews that investigators conducted with both Salas and his accuser reveal that both parties admitted that they engaged in sex at the woman’s home on Sept. 2, 2016. However, the stories diverge with respect to whether any sexual contact was consensual. Salas, in response to the lawsuit, denied he had sexually assaulted the woman. After the village and the officer’s accuser agreed to settlement terms, the Forest Park Village Council passed a resolution allowing Salas to retire, effective Nov. 28, 2016,
which made him eligible to receive severance and pension benefits per the village’s contract with the Fraternal Order of Police, the union which represents Forest Park police officers. Village officials had previously said the village did not have control over whether Salas could collect a pension. The retirement agreement indicates that the village and Salas had a matter pending before the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, which provides mediation services for companies and government agencies in labor disputes. The matter before the federal mediator concerned Salas’ termination, according to the agreement approved by the village council. The retirement agreement also noted Salas would be paid about $3,200 in back wages and about $10,000 in accrued sick leave pay. The village council had approved the retirement agreement and the settlement with the officer’s accuser back in August. However, the settlement agreement with the woman wasn’t finalized until Oct. 12, when a federal judge granted the woman’s motion
to enforce the settlement agreement, minus language added by the village’s attorneys after a settlement conference earlier that month.

Armed man’s attempt to rob business foiled
Tired of package thefts A 31-year-old Forest Park man went to police on Oct. 19 after repeatedly having packages delivered to his apartment building stolen. According to the police report, the victim said he has had about $2,000 worth of mer-
A 70-year-old Forest Park man called police on Oct. 17 to report that he’d given remote computer access to a man who claimed to be from “Microsoft Firm” and that the man was demanding money in exchange for giving computer access back to him. The victim said he got a call from someone on Oct. 16 claiming he needed access to the victim’s computer in order to fix some problems. He gave the man access and the man told him he’d be sending the victim a $350 refund because his firm no longer supported software on the computer. Later, the repair man told the victim that he accidentally refunded the victim $3,200 and demanded a full refund in Walmart gift cards. The victim ended up wiring the man $1,500 to a location in Texas. On Oct. 17, with access to his computer still blocked, the victim called the repair man, who demanded more money to unlock the computer. Police referred the victim to the U.S Postal Service police since it involves wire fraud.
Burglary to vehicle ■■Police responded to Planet Fitness, 7530 Roosevelt Road, on Oct. 17 about 1:30 a.m. after a 57-year-old Chicago man called to report that his vehicle, which was parked in the lot, was burglarized. The victim returned to his vehicle to find the lights on and the doors unlocked. The rear seat had also been folded down, giving access to the trunk. It was unclear if any items were taken. ■■A resident of the 7200 block of Randolph Street called police on Oct. 16 to report that sometime between 8:45 and 9:15 a.m. someone had entered her vehicle. According to the police report, the hood of the vehicle and door were open and a fuse lay on the ground next to it. In all, police said 10 fuses had been removed from the fuse box.
These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, Oct. 16-22, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

Forest Park police charged a 35-year-old Maywood man with aggravated assault, criminal trespassing and possession of cannabis after responding to the Shortstop Lounge, 7425 Madison St., for a report of a “man with a gun.” According to the police report, bar employees said the man was smoking a cigarette inside the bar and that he got angry when he was asked to put it out. The man reportedly also was drinking alcohol he brought in from outside the bar. After being told to leave the bar, the man allegedly said, “I got a gun and I ain’t afraid to use it,” prompting a call to police. Police said the man was very intoxicated and had three bottles of beer stuffed into his right sleeve. They also recovered a small amount of cannabis from the man, but did not locate a weapon.

The owner of a Forest Park restaurant called police after foiling an attempted robbery by slamming the door in the face of a man armed with a gun on the night of Oct. 22. According to the police report, about 10:45 p.m. a black male between the ages of 40 and 50, 6 feet tall, with a bald head, wearing a black leather jacket, black jeans, black boots and carrying a yellow umbrella, attempted to open the rear door to J&J Fish, 319 Harlem Ave. After seeing that it was locked, the man knocked loudly on the door. An employee twice told the person knocking on the door to come around to the front before finally opening the door and looking to see who it was. When the employee opened the door, the offender reportedly told the employee to leave the door open before stepping from behind a dumpster armed with a black handgun. The employee quickly closed the door and called 911. The offender was last seen leaving the area northbound in the alley between Elgin and Harlem avenues. No one was injured and nothing was taken from the business. Police later located a yellow umbrella in a garbage can in the alley. Police kept the umbrella as evidence and sent it to the Illinois State Police Crime Lab for testing.

FIREFIGHTING CHANGES
New technology, new techniques from page 1 which is petroleum based. That’s why when a smoke detector goes off in your building, you want to get out as quickly as you can.” The equipment firefighters use has changed along with the kind of fires they are fighting. When the alarm goes off in the firehouse, he said, “Our bunker coats, bunker pants, bunker boots, nomex hood, helmet and gloves weigh about 25 to 30 pounds.” Nomex, he explained is a high-tech fabric that allows body heat to escape even as it shields the firefighter from the external heat of the fire. “In addition,” he continued, “we carry a thermal imaging camera, a portable radio, an escape rope, wire cutters, and a knife. We never enter a building without carrying a fire extinguisher and either an axe or a Halligan bar. That, along with an air tank, can total 75-80 pounds.” Because fighting a fire while carrying that much additional weight is stressful, there is a strong emphasis in the firehouse on physical fitness. Each day, for example, firefighters are required to work out in a small gym right in the station, which includes a treadmill, StairMaster, free weights, a bench for bench pressing, and a rack for doing squats. “If you look in the refrigerator upstairs,” he added, “you will notice a lot of healthy food. You talk about a change in culture — 30 years ago, most of the guys smoked. Every year about 100 officers die in the line of duty and half of those are from heart attacks. In this job, you wear heavy equipment, are doing a strenuous job and are working in extreme conditions. In our firehouse culture, there has been a refocus on physical fitness.” In addition, every Forest Park firefighter gets an annual checkup by a physician trained in what the job of a firefighter entails and what physical fitness means in the context of doing that job. The “consumption drill” is an example of how training has changed to adapt to new realities. Firefighters suit up in full gear and go through a series of activities to simulate the stress of fighting a fire. Loaded with up to 80 pounds of gear, they go up and down stairs, hit a tire 10 times with an 8-pound sledgehammer and pull weights up the rack that is used for drying hoses. The main purpose of the drill is to increase awareness. The air tank on their backs contains enough air for 30 minutes if you are sitting in a chair in a resting position. But in the stress of fighting a fire, much more air is consumed. McDermott asked one man who had just finished the drill, “How many minutes?” “Seventeen,” he replied. One thing that hasn’t changed, the chief said, is awareness. Firefighters are taught to always be aware — of your orientation in a building, how long it would take you to get from where you are to the front door, and how much air is left in your tank.

FIRE FITNESS: From left, Lt. T.J. Janopoulos, and firefighters B.J. Reid, Aaron Hannah and Lindsey Hankus, work out in the gym at the Forest Park Fire Department. The new technology has been helpful, he said, but has its limitations. In many fires the smoke is so thick you can’t see where you are. The thermal imaging cameras can be very helpful in locating the fire itself or people in the building. What if the batteries in the camera run out? “That’s why we teach everyone the oldschool tactic of finding a wall when entering a building,” he said, “and feeling your way along it as a way of maintaining awareness of where you are at all times.” McDermott said fires can get so hot, a “flashover” can occur, which would kill you no matter how much protective gear you’re wearing. “You can’t learn to judge how hot is too hot from a textbook at the academy,” he explained. “For those kinds of situations, men and women who are new on the job learn from the more experienced people. I’ve been a firefighter for 30 years and I still learn from our people every day.” “After a fire,” he noted, “we get together in the training room and do a fire critique. I’ll give my point of view — what I saw, did and why — and everyone will contribute from their perspective. There are plenty of times I will learn from them based on their experience. We listen to and learn from each other.” Another change has been increased cooperation with neighboring fire departments. “When we go to a fire here in Forest Park, you’ll often see fire trucks from North Riverside, River Forest or Oak Park there with us, and we will go to help them.” If you have firefighters working in intense heat with only 17 minutes of air in their tanks, it is really helpful to have people from other departments as backups when you come out of the building to get some water and get a new air tank. In addition, each village has budgetary restraints that limit the number of fire-
fighters available in any one community, so neighboring departments in this area willingly help each other out without any billing for services. Just last week, he said, Forest Park firefighters were in Cicero helping with an incident there. And after Hurricane Katrina, Forest Park even sent its ladder truck to New Orleans. “I would never in my wildest imagination have thought that the Forest Park Fire Department would ever be on Bourbon Street,” he laughed. Remnants in the firehouse at the corner of Desplaines and Wilcox give a hint of what firefighting was like over a hundred years ago. “The rack where we dry our hoses,” he noted, “used to be the hayloft for the horses.” He pointed to a 2-by-2-foot section of grooved cement. “That’s what’s left of the old floor, which was sloped toward the center so the waste from the horses used to pull the fire engines would run toward the middle and be flushed down the drain.” The fire pole still exists in the Forest Park station although it has not been used for years. When stations began to be built on ground level in the newer suburbs poles were no longer needed and went out of favor in older buildings. Now, he said, as land becomes more valuable and new stations are being constructed with more than one story, fire poles are being used again. When Steve Glinke, the chief who preceded him, looked into doing the work needed to bring the pole up to current code, he was told there would be a two-year wait because the company that does the work was so overwhelmed with requests. With 24-hour shifts, the men and women spend a lot of time together. Seven firefighters and two paramedics on each shift get together every morning to determine the menu and the chores for the day. That’s one thing that hasn’t changed, McDermott said. Firefighters form a family.
Summer-like weather lingered for an extra month this year, so you may be surprised by this reminder: the holidays are knocking on our door. How will you respond to that reality, especially when you find that your yard is largely dormant? For many years, McAdam has supplied an answer that breathes vitality Scott into your landscape. McAdam Jr. It’s the installation of colorful holiday décor: wreaths, garlands, Christmas lights and other winter displays. They offer sorely needed splashes of color that elevate your home’s appeal and make it much more inviting and aesthetically pleasing. Winter displays are relatively easy to make and are a great way to utilize your containers yearround. From your yard, you can use evergreen cuttings, such as spruce, fir and holly as they mature. The upside of utilizing hollies is that if you have a female plant, it will also have red fruit to add some flair. With those cuttings, you can also add dormant dogwood or willow branches into the center of the container for height and contrast in color. Holiday containers are an excellent vehicle to reflect your personality—so arrange them however you wish. From the entire McAdam Landscaping family to yours, we wish you a safe and joyful Thanksgiving!

errara Candy Company, a major Forest Park property tax payer, employer and benefactor for more than a century, is back in the hands of a major candy company, which is talking about growing its brands and committing to its factory in Forest Park. Five years after the company was purchased by an investment banking firm from its founding family, after it was merged and merged again with other candy-making firms, it is a relief to hear that Alba, Italy-based Ferrero Group will soon complete its Ferrara purchase. Ferrara Pan Candy has been an anchor of Forest Park. And while L Catterton has been a better owner than might have been expected, we’re excited to see candy-centric owners who see Ferrara as an integral part of its major expansion into the American candy market. This is exceptionally good news for Forest Park.
Proud and happy
OK, here’s this week’s list of why it is a good thing to be a Forest Parker: ■■When an Oct. 14 fire burned out the family of FieldStevenson School fourth-grader Erick Ortega, the school community, and the wider Forest Park community went into high gear. Money was raised by students at the school. Families turned up with suitcases of clothes. The word spread to the district office and the other District 91 schools who undertook their own generous giving. “We teach altruism at Field-Stevenson,” said Tiffany Brunson, the principal. “We have raised money for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico and Texas. We collected diapers, batteries and water for the hurricane victims. We’ve raised money for students who have lost their parent. We’re collecting socks for the homeless.” Those are values worth teaching our children. And from Crystal Lewis, Erick Ortega’s mom, those are values that build true community. “It makes you feel you’re not alone. It’s a huge comfort,” she said. ■■Once again, Forest Park’s own Silverland Bakery is looking for nonprofits that work to empower women and girls. There is a $2,000 grant waiting to find a home due to the ongoing passion of Athena Uslander, the bakery’s longtime owner. Ms. Uslander was the recipient of such outreach a number of years ago when Unilever, the owner of Dove soap, chose her to be a model and spokesperson to talk about aging, self-esteem and entrepreneurialism. These scholarships, funded directly out of the Desplaines Avenue bakery, are her effort to pay it forward. Meanwhile at Proviso Township high schools, here are two affirming stories: ■■ Anahi Soto, a junior at Proviso East, was chosen to perform before a sold-out performance (are there any other kind?) of Hamilton at the CIBC Theater in Chicago. She read a poem she had written related to the Bill of Rights and American freedoms. ■■ And Janet Buenrostro, a Proviso East freshman, became the first East athlete in more than 35 years to qualify for the IHSA state tennis tournament. That is some accomplishment.

OPINION
I
My Lutheran identity has deep roots
’m a Lutheran. I don’t talk about that major part of my identity much, but if you want to know the real me, you have to understand that essential part of who I am. I bring that subject up partly because it’s the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation. On Oct. 31, 1517 an Augustinian monk named Martin Luther reportedly nailed a document titled “Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences,” otherwise known as the “95 Theses,” on the door of a church in Wittenburg, Germany. Luther didn’t think it would cause much of a stir because most people in those days were illiterate. He intended it to be the basis of a discussion among the few educated scholars in town. The problem was that the printing press had just been invented, and someone got hold of the document, printed it and, just like what happens nowadays on Facebook, it went viral. And just like today, it was polarizing. It divided what was called the Holy Roman Empire and eventually led to the Thirty Years War between Catholics and Protestants a century later in which an estimated 20 percent of the German population died. So why am I clinging to an identity that sparked so much bloodshed — in the name of religion, no less? To explain, I want to draw an analogy to what happened in Puerto Rico recently. You’ve all seen the devastation caused on the island by Hurricane Maria. Most of the lush vegetation on the island was flattened, except for a few palm trees here and there. I assume that the reason a few trees survived Maria’s 175 mph winds was that below the ground they had strong root systems that went deep into good soil, where the chaos above ground had no effect. In contrast to the trees’ roots below ground, the trunks of the trees were flexible. They bent with the strong winds instead of being rigid and snapping. What I heard as a child at First Lutheran Church in Manitowoc gave me strong, healthy roots. What I heard over and over was that God loved me. We sang: Jesus loves me, this I know For the Bible tells me so, Little ones to him belong, They are weak but he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me. We weren’t told about the Thirty Years War. The Cold War with the Soviet Union wasn’t mentioned. We didn’t find out that some members of the congregation were alcoholics or that some cheated on their spouses. We were protected from all of that, safe beneath the surface, growing our roots deep in good soil.
Another song we sang went: Jesus loves the little children, All the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, They are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. We sang that song in the safety of our underground, all-white protected space, of course, and didn’t know what that would mean when we got above ground, exposed to the testing gale. But they were, nevertheless, the right words to sing. It wasn’t until I attended a Lutheran College that I learned about the chaos that was happening out where the gale force winds of the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement were raging. That same Lutheran tradition which had given me a safe environment in which to sink my roots in good soil now exposed me to what some called “real life” where I had to learn to bend if I didn’t want to break. The problem with identity is that it can lead to a sense of exceptionalism and exclusion of folks who think differently than those in my own little isolated lifestyle enclave. That’s what is going on with white supremacists in our country. The same thing with the Kurds in Iraq, Buddhists in Myanmar and Catalonians in Spain. On the other hand, the problem with not having a strong identity is captured in the saying, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” We see that being played out in Forest Park’s institutions. When different cultural groups disagree on an issue because they view the world through different cultural lenses, our neighbors without strong identity roots are at a loss. They want to be sensitive to everyone, which leaves them adrift without keel or rudder. The reason my Lutheran tradition has worked for me through the 70 years of my life is that it opposed exceptionalism of any kind: religious, ethnic, national, class. The identity I absorbed from my Lutheran parents and congregation includes the belief that the basic human problem is being “incurvatus se,” i.e. being curved in on myself instead of primarily curved out toward God and secondarily being curved out toward my neighbor. Those strong roots, growing deep into good theological soil, gave me a strong grounding, if you will, which anchored me as an adult when I was asked to respect and appreciate those who are different without giving up who I am. From my point of view, that is what is true of every person I’ve encountered who is mature in their religious faith. They have strong religious roots which anchor them in the swirling winds of cultural change, roots that allow them to bend without breaking.

Get The Most From Your Real Estate Investment With The ATM Team
O
ak Park native Tabitha Murphy grew up in a family of nine children, and got her first lessons in negotiation from her father. “With so many mouths to feed, I remember him always looking for a deal,” she says, “That is where it started for me.” Today, Tabitha attributes her success as a Realtor to her deep-seated desire to help people and achieve the greatest outcome for them, whether by negotiating the best price for a seller, or by finding the best value for a buyer.
buyers), and Bonnie Glass, the in-office Buyer’s Agent. Between them all, ATM clients can be confident that the details of their real estate transaction will be covered every step of the way.
Tabitha, along with her husband Adam, make up the ATM Team at Weichert Realtors Nickel Group. With complementary skill sets, the two partners are a highly efficient duo. “My expertise,” Tabitha asserts, “is in preparing a home for the market, staging the home, pricing the home, and negotiating offers to get the best terms and price for our clients.” Adam, on the other hand, has a construction background that makes him an incredible asset to their buyer clients. Additionally, the ATM Team has three administrative assistants: Crystal Rodriguez, the Listing and Closing Coordinator, Emily Lee, Client Care Coordinator (working with
One of the ways in which the ATM Team helps sellers get the most for their homes is by assisting them with small improvements—what Tabitha calls “flips”—that can yield big gains. Doing these small “flips,” along with proper staging, can help the home attract a larger buyer pool that can lead to higher offers. Tabitha explains, “by making strategic updates to the home we have seen our clients receive big returns on money invested in preparing their homes for sale.”
Our goal is to provide value to the home-buying and selling process every step of the way. - Tabitha Murphy
Pointing to a recent sale they handled in Forest Park, Tabitha recounts how she advised the client to add granite countertops and a new backsplash to their
kitchen, paint the cabinets and replace an old refrigerator. Along with painting a few rooms and cleaning the home, the sellers invested roughly $9,000 before putting the home on the market. The result, according to Tabitha, was selling the house for $18,000 more than what they would have gotten without the updates. Through the collaborative selling process, Tabitha makes it easy for sellers to identify areas in their home where improvements can be made that will achieve a faster sale and increased profit. Another important factor in selling a home is staging. In addition to her own expertise, Tabitha also works with a local interior designer, Robin Schwadron of R Titus Design, to make sure that her listings look their absolute best. Tabitha notes, “We have found that the homes we stage end up selling faster and for higher prices than the competing homes that haven’t been staged.” While the ATM Team is dedicated to helping their clients make the best investments possible to maximize their returns, Tabitha is also aware of the strong emotions involved in her business. “We understand the importance of HOME,” she

ori Hannigan remembers the time she built her first chimney after being hired by Edward Cross & Son, Inc. in Oak Park. Mr. Cross put her in his garage on a rainy day, mixed mortar and laid out a pattern for a chimney. He started the structure, handed the trowel and bucket of mortar to Lori, said it was all hers and left. She wanted to insure she did the best work possible and therefore decided to start the structure over. When Mr. Cross returned two hours later, he was impressed to find a chimney about eight courses tall that was both exactly plumb, or aligned, and level. Edward Cross & Son, Inc. has been in business since 1937. After years of dedicated, quality work, Lori became the owner in 1987. She continues to strive for perfection in all her projects and does not expect her staff to complete any task she herself cannot do. Whether it is setting up a forty foot ladder or pulling up a heavy bucket of mortar to the roof of a house, Lori shows her employees she is not just the boss, but a determined laborer and tuckpointer. Consequently, she is proud to have made a name for herself in a male dominated industry. Lori specializes in chimney rebuilding and masonry repairs. With her attention to detail,
Lori and her team use their skills as artists to rebuild and repair old structures to their former glory. She has even worked on many Frank Lloyd Wright homes. The Lori Hannigan project with the biggest challenge, but that resulted in the biggest success, was rebuilding the large chimney on the Adams Home at 710 Augusta in Oak Park. It involved a large scaffolding system, cleaning all the bricks, and restoring the chimney to the exact same design in order to satisfy the Frank Lloyd Wright Historical Board. Lori helps clients understand the standards of the industry so they know what to expect from contractors in the future. She even teaches her customers about what caused the problems that are being fixed. These qualities truly make Edward Cross & Sons, Inc. a unique business.

or 17 years, Molly Rudberg-Leshnock has been an entrepreneur focused on executive coaching and leadership training. Working one-on-one with her clients, Molly’s goal is to push them to become their best self, to add speed and power to their careers and to achieve their full leadership potential. “There is nothing more fulfilling professionally,” Molly says, “than partnering with someone to help them make their dreams come true in business and life.” Encouraging her clients to “stand for their greatness,” Molly shows them how to get out of their own way and move toward a place of empowerment and leadership. “As humans,” she says, “we have automatic ways of operating in our world. My role as a coach is to work with my clients, poking and prodding at their ‘default operating systems’ to help them discover new, more empowered ways of achieving what they desire professionally and personally.” Molly believes that the business world is out of sync with the realities of today’s working professional. As a result, she sees an epidemic of stress among professionals and executives. “I want to disrupt this increasing pattern of stress and anxiety,” she says,
“and integrate a more centered, peaceful approach to work and life through various tools and techniques.” Not long ago, a female executive approached Molly at a wellness event with tears in her eyes. She was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. They began working together the next day with a goal of alleviating work stress and helping her move forward with a successful pregnancy. “One year later,” Molly says, “the woman was the proud mother of healthy twin girls and on permanent leave from her legal practice, pursuing instead her passions in art. She stopped living her life on other people’s terms and relaxed into her own.” Driving Molly forward is what she sees as the endless potential of human beings. Her favorite part of her work is when someone has a transformational “a-ha” moment, when she sees in her clients an awakening that changes the course of their life and leadership forever. Molly Rudberg-Leshnock’s office is located at 224 South Marion in Oak Park. She can be reached at 312-286-3346 or mollyrudberg.com.
Collaboration and Teamwork Thrive at the Center of Sandstorm

hen she was in college, Sandy Marsico discovered her three great passions. As an art major, she loved design, and as a high-achieving math student, she taught herself to code. Then after getting a job selling jeans at the Gap, she discovered that she also loved sales. Combining these three loves—design, sales and technology— Sandy, at the age of 24, created Sandstorm, a digital marketing agency. Today, the Sandstorm team includes strategists, marketers, researchers, designers, copywriters, UX architects, technologists, and data analysts, all collaborating, brainstorming and sharing innovation ideas, trends, inspiration brands and whitespace opportunities. Together, they offers clients a perspective that shows them a different way of thinking. Sandstorm helps clients leverage technology to solve their business and marketing challenges. As Sandy puts it, “We get the opportunity to dream every day for our clients. It’s awesome!” Sandstorm’s brand strategy, design and web development decisions are driven by research insights and data. Taking nothing for granted, they go directly to their clients’ customers to learn their motivations, behaviors, brand perceptions, and what type of content or functionality they want when they go to a
particular website. Similarly, Sandstorm takes the same approach to itself, going straight to the employees on decisions related to the agency’s work environment. Recently the staff helped shape a new expansion of the office space. The results included a chef’s kitchen, a no-talking library, and an idea lab with dry erase walls and giant cork board. For Sandy, creating a great work environment goes beyond the physical space. Every Sandstormer gets an annual stipend to use for personal growth opportunities including going to conferences, taking classes, joining an association, or getting certified in a new technology. “My personal mission is to provide great jobs to great people.” Sandy says, “Creating jobs is incredibly rewarding. I love that Sandstorm provides a work environment where people can thrive and grow.” Sandstorm is planning for continued growth by adding positions and expanding its range of services and technologies. In particular, they are building expertise in data analytics to complement their extensive qualitative research. Sandstorm is located at 4619 N. Ravenswood in Chicago.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry: When Less is More
D
r. Anne Fabricius, owner of Oak Park Prosthodontics, and Dr. Haein Kil are passionate about providing their patients with conservative, minimally invasive dental treatments. Dr. Fabricius explains that the practice of minimally invasive dentistry begins with establishing the correct diagnoses. “Errors in diagnosis can lead to extensive dental work that may be premature or not even necessary. For example, it is common to see stains around the edges of old fillings. Often, these fillings do not need to be replaced immediately. Instead, they can be monitored for changes.”

preserved.” Dr. Fabricius further comments, “I perform all of my dentistry with magnification of 4.5x, nearly twice as much as most dentists. Being able to see detail is critical when performing conservative dentistry.” Dr. Anne M. Fabricius is one of only six women in the Chicagoland area who is board-certified in prosthodontics, and the only in private practice. She is an expert in cosmetics, crowns, implants, bridges, dentures, and the management of complex dental problems. A graduate of the Harvard University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Fabricius established Oak Park Prosthodontics in 2013. She offers general dentistry services, such as cleanings; as well as specialty services in the repair and replacement of teeth. In addition to her practice, she has taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Dentistry.
As a prosthodontist, I have an additional three years of training beyond dental school and can often provide patients with additional treatment options. - Dr. Fabricius Dr. Fabricius explains that she frequently meets patients that are considering aggressive cosmetic treatments, such as veneers, that can require a substantial amount of healthy tooth to be drilled away. “While veneers are sometimes the appropriate treatment, less invasive treatments, such as whitening and bonding should also be explored. These treatments are not only less expensive, but they often require no drilling. People are amazed at the results.”
When a tooth does require treatment, all treatment options should be explored. “As a prosthodontist, I have an additional three years of training beyond dental school and can often provide patients with additional treatment options.” Dr. Fabricius further explains, “For example, a tooth that ‘requires’ a crown may be eligible for an onlay. During preparation for a crown, the entire outer surface of a tooth is drilled away. Alternatively, the preparation of an onlay “When performing any dental treatment, it requires that only the unsound diseased is important that it be done with the utmost tooth structure be removed, allowing large precision and care so that tooth structure is

n 2006, Dorothy Gillian began her real estate career, just as the housing market was about to suffer its worst downturn in a generation. Yet through the difficult years that followed between 2007 and 2010, Dorothy honed and strengthened her skills. Today, Dorothy heads up the Gillian Team which has become one of the top real estate teams in the area and the number one team in Forest Park In 2010, April Baker was looking for a house and was referred to Dorothy by a mutual friend. During her home search, April came to see Dorothy not only as a great Realtor, but also as a wonderful friend and advocate. When April decided
to change careers, she contacted Dorothy to “pick her brain.” It was during that meeting that an idea took shape. Dorothy’s business had taken off and she needed help. April was looking for a change. A partnership, they realized would be just what they each needed, while at the same time greatly expanding and enhancing the services they could provide to their clients. Last year, Dorothy’s daughter, Anna Gillian, joined the Gillian Team and took it to yet a new level of service. With her previous experience as an architect, Anna understands design, and is able to help clients fully visualize a home’s potential.
“We offer a perspective that stems from each of our varied backgrounds,” says Dorothy, “Our past experiences in the corporate world, rehabbing homes, downsizing, and buying our first homes allows us to understand our clients’ needs on a personal level.” Indeed, it is that personal approach that is the cornerstone of what Dorothy, April and Anna do. “The relationships we build with our clients,” April says, “is what motivates us to continue the excellent level of service we’re known for!” The Gillian Team also takes advantage of the latest technology in real estate marketing. For instance, they elevate the

n real estate finding the best outcome for your client often begins by seeing hidden potential. Cynthia Howe Gajewski is a Realtor whose experience in home renovation and restoration makes her a valuable resource to homeowners and buyers. Also an accomplished photographer, Cynthia is a woman with vision who loves to find the opportunities in homes that others may have missed. Cynthia traces her interest in real estate back to her childhood when she was fascinated by the grandeur of her grandparent’s Italianate Victorian farmhouse. “I admire the character and charm of older homes,” she says, “especially the variety of homes in our Oak Park and River Forest neighborhoods.” Cynthia particularly enjoys seeing older spaces reinvented to fit the needs of modern living. Matchmaking buyers with the right property is a challenge that Cynthia relishes. “It is so satisfying to see that chemistry happen,” she says, “I tell my buyers that buying a home is an emotional experience with practical considerations. A house can have everything on your wish list, but if you don’t get that ‘yes’ feeling, then the list doesn’t matter. You can’t make yourself fall in love.” Twenty years as a professional photographer gives Cynthia the added
edge in presenting and marketing seller’s homes in today’s market. She is always ready to help sellers prepare, stage, and showcase their Cynthia Howe Gajewski property to bring in the most buyers. “I absolutely love,” she says, “working with sellers who are motivated to get top dollar for their properties.” When sellers are willing to put in the extra bit of effort it can yield big returns. Cynthia will create for them a targeted room by room action plan that will show off the home’s fullest potential, with the goal of bringing in the highest offers. Cynthia stresses that her personal experience with home ownership and renovation are among the most important assets that she brings to her clients. “I’ve been down that renovation road a few times,” she says, “I know my market, and I know what improvements and upgrades really matter.” If you are looking to buy or sell your home, contact Cynthia Howe Gajewski at Beyond Properties Realty, 312-933-8440 or cynthia@ beyondpropertiesrealty.com for a free consultation.
Vicki May Offers Expertise and Guidance for RE Investors
V
icki May loves property! For years, she would pass by apartment buildings, homes and storefronts and think about ways to upgrade for appearance and function. It seemed only natural then that she would go into the real estate investment business. After 12 years of managing her own residential rental properties, she joined Beyond Properties Realty in 2012 as a Property Manager. With currently five investment properties of her own, Vicki approaches property management with a deep understanding of the demands of managing repairs and maintenance, tenant choice, and value remodeling. Her own experience has helped her connect with her clients and understand their need for effective and efficient property management. “My own investments,” she maintains, “have taught me the art of setting rents, managing costs, and getting higher yields. I understand the challenges of dealing with a wide range of tenants. If I can help a property owner be more profitable and have a more stable building, that’s a good day’s work.” Vicki really feels that she has found a home as Property Manager at Beyond

To Iceland and back again
W
elcome home to Christina Respass and Chris Cashin. Home from Iceland! The land of Fire and Ice. Christina has traveled extensively, but Iceland is the first place she is anxious to visit again. When you go, your first stop will probably be the Blue Lagoon. It’s really blue and bigger than most lagoons I’ve ever seen. Iceland looks like a totally different planet, or a bit like the moon. It’s sometimes called “lonely planet.” In some ways it looks much like Switzerland, but in many other ways like no other place on earth. Iceland is famous for its tomatoes; like no tomatoes anywhere. But they are too perishable to be shipped around for sale in other places. Glaciers are everywhere, geysers in everybody’s backyard. No one pays for water, and all heat is free, as is hot water. The puffins are beloved birds, but unfortunately they were migrating when our Forest Park neighbors were there. There are sheep and goats everywhere. Big fat wooly sheep whose Icelandic wool sweaters are really, really warm. The sweaters are called “magical wool” sweaters because they are extremely warm and they repel water. Playful dogs are everywhere. They earn their keep by leading the horses around. Christina fell while walking across the famous and very beautiful black sand that covers much of the island. Chris rushed to her aid, but this black sand is so very soft it felt like falling on snow. It’s easy to understand why Iceland is first in travel destinations lately (so I’ve heard). Rick Steves hasn’t even done a show on the place yet.

Talk of the town
Let us commemorate the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s 95 theses being nailed to the door of his church. It was just a simple act, but it started the Reformation and the most significant change in our attitude toward religion. Luther studied the Bible in several languages but he couldn’t find any mention of a pope and indulgences, or selling of prayers, among other beliefs. So a deep bowing of the head to our Lutheran friends and a sincere prayer of gratitude that all religions seem to be shaking hands and respecting each other. Rich Schauer is seen these Halloween days in front of his store welcoming customers and friends. His head is down, but if he looks up, you may notice his bright brown eyes are even brighter since he underwent eye surgery. He can watch us even more closely as we wend our ways around the hardware store. Belated happy birthday to Mark Ross, Oct. 23. This week Austin and Terry D’Souza had an anniversary. John Schmidt had a birthday along with Connie Caruso, Lisa Walsh, Theresa McComb, Josie Becker, Anahli Rosell, Kay Duff, Mary Kroger, Chloe Hillis, Charlotte, Lavnick, Annette Stetler, Rich Bisluk, Dan Castelanetta (Homer Simpson), Marjorie Beyer, Ryan Neff, Pat Uphues, Mary Sullivan, Karen Woods, Spencer Brooks, and Pete Gianakopoulis. Happy anniversary also to Joe and Diane Criscone. ■■Jackie is a former Chicago and Elmwood Park schoolteacher with an undying love for music, friendly pets and a host of life’s other treasures too numerous to list.

Celebrating 100 Years
Proviso East tennis player a rarity in state tourney Buenrostro is the first to qualify for state tourney since 1980 By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter
On Oct. 13, Janet Buenrostro, 14, became the first Proviso East High School tennis player to qualify for the IHSA state tennis tournament in over 35 years and her coach, Peter Zak, and Mel Phillips, a volunteer coach with the team, could barely contain themselves. “We’ve tried to keep each other calm,” said Phillips during an Oct. 15 phone interview. “I don’t know if it worked. It’s exciting. We’re happy for her and happy for the community. She’s a credit to the school, to the community, and to her race. There aren’t many Latino females who will be in the state tourney.” On Oct. 19, Buenrostro lost 6-4, 6-1 to Sophie Davis of Providence Catholic in New Lenox in the tournament’s first round. The Proviso Math & Science freshman, however, showed resilience in the consolation bracket, soundly defeating Kayla McSweeney of Richards (Oak Lawn) 6-0, 6-1, before losing in the second round consolation bracket to Marta Krakowski of Elgin High School 6-0, 6-2. For Phillips, though, Buenrostro’s presence was victory enough. He should
know. As a senior at Proviso East in 1978, he qualified for the state tournament, eventually losing to the player who would win it all. “For her to qualify now is even more impressive than when I did,” Phillips said. “For someone to qualify from our area is even more phenomenal in this era, given how expensive it is to compete at a high level.” Phillips, a well-known tennis advocate who has been coaching and holding clinics in the community for decades, said that, as far as he knows, Buenrostro is the first female Proviso East tennis player to qualify for the state tournament since at least 1980. The financial barriers to grooming successful tennis players, he noted, can be substantial in working-class areas like Maywood and Melrose Park, where Buenrostro lives. Private tennis instruction can cost $100 an hour and finding an indoor tennis court to play on in the winter can be difficult and potentially costly. And then there’s the competition. Some young tennis players, Phillips said, are home-schooled and train for hours a day, Monday through Friday. They compete in a range of tournaments across the Midwest.
What Buenrostro lacks in exposure and resources, however, she makes up for in deliberation and hard work. When asked how her game evolved to the level of state tournament qualifier, the freshman sounded older than her age. “It was mostly being really patient and making time for all the practices and everything my dad has done to push me,” she said during an interview on Oct. 15. “I’ve been working on being smarter by just hitting more soft shots, coming to the net, really thinking about my moves, and not just hitting ground strokes back and forth.” Coach Zak said he hopes Buenrostro’s success inspires more players to take up tennis, which he and Phillips agree can be a great leveler for kids, particularly minorities growing up in working-class communities. “Hopefully we’ll start growing as a program, especially with someone like Janet,” Zak said. “More and more kids are talking about us now that she’s out there. They’re excited about hearing what she’s doing. I hope her success builds up our program.” “The networking power of tennis and golf is just amazing,” said Phillips. “Most of
FERRARA ACQUIRED
European company takes over from page 1 ed in 1908 and headquartered in Forest Park from 1959 until 2012. L Catterton announced it would acquire Ferrara Pan Candy Company in June 2012, just one month after the death of longtime Ferrara CEO Nello Ferrara at the age of 93. The company merged with Minnesota-based Farley’s & Sathers, the makers of such chewy treats as Chuckles and Jujyfruits as well as Brachs Candy, which L Catterton had already been acquired. The consolidated company was renamed Ferrara Candy Company. After that acquisition, L Catterton shut Farley & Sathers’ operations in Minnesota and consolidated operations in the Chicago area. Ferrara Candy Company moved its headquarters to Oakbrook Terrace, and in 2014 Ferrara leased a 750,000-square-foot warehouse space in Bolingbrook. Ferrara Candy Company’s plants in Forest Park and Bellwood will remain open, according to the press release announcing the sale of Ferrara Candy Company to Ferrero, as will two plants in Mexico. Ferrero Group also plans to keep the Bolingbrook warehouse, Ferrara Candy Company’s research and development center in Bellwood and a distribution center in Texas.

The Ferrara Candy Company plant in Forest Park will remain open following the company’s purchase by the Ferrero Group later this year. “Ferrero intends to maintain and leverage this existing footprint with no further consolidation,” the press release states. L Catterton had been looking to sell Ferrara Candy Company or spin it off as a public company for more than a year. In July 2016, Crain’s Chicago Business reported that Ferrara Candy Company “could be valued at $1
billion if it were to go public.” The firm ended up selling the company to the European confectionary giant instead. “This transaction represents a terrific outcome for Ferrara and L Catterton, and we are confident that Ferrara will thrive and reach new heights in collaboration with Ferrero,” said Scott Dahnke, global CEO of

Even when I’ve had job interviews. People would be more impressed to hear that I played tennis in high school than if I’d have said I played basketball or football. I’ve been able to rub shoulders with people I otherwise wouldn’t have.” “Tennis does open doors,” said Zak. “A lot of business gets done on the tennis court. You meet and communicate with a lot people who are decision-makers.” “I really enjoy tennis and the plan is to play until I can’t,” Buenrostro said. CONTACT: michael@oakpark.com
L Catterton in the press release. Ferrero, founded in 1946 in Alba, Italy, is the third-largest candy company in the world with global sales of more than $12 billion. It entered the U.S. market in 1969 with Tic Tac breath mints. In May, Ferrero announced it had completed its acquisition of Fannie May, another famous U.S. candy brand once headquartered in Chicago, for $115 million. “With this acquisition, we are continuing to increase our overall footprint and product offering in the important U.S. market, establishing a presence in new confectionary categories with attractive growth prospects, including gummy and seasonal candies,” said Giovanni Ferrero, executive chairman of the Ferrero Group in the Oct. 18 press release announcing the purchase of Ferrara Candy Company. “We look forward to continuing to grow the Ferrara business, investing in its brands to support expansion plans, leveraging its U.S. manufacturing plants and distribution centers and creating opportunities for its talented people.” The press release specifically noted Ferrara Candy brands such as Trolli, a gummy candy brand, and Black Forest Organics, which includes organic and fruity candies. The press release also mentions Brachs, another former Chicago candy giant which had been part of Farley & Sathers before the 2012 merger with Ferrara. Brachs is attractive for its seasonal candy, “particularly at Halloween,” the press release stated.
