Forest Park reacts to the presidential election A lot of shock and many who will guardedly wait and see

By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter

People who live and work in Forest Park expressed a wide range of reactions to the election of Donald Trump as the

45th President of the United States. Some were shocked, saddened and/or angry. A.J. Altheimer, a graduate student at Loyola University’s Institute for Pastoral Studies, said, “I am truly disappointed and saddened by this election. I am at times afraid for myself, but

ultimately I am afraid for so many others who don’t have the luxury of ‘blending in.’ As a Christian, no as a human being, I am offended by the hate and racism that has been and See ELECTION REACTIONS on page 9

Cubs win? How did I miss that?

eing a White Sox fan, I’ve been slow to report on the Cubs historic World Series win. However, it’s not like I wasn’t paying attention. Prior to the season, the Cubs signed slugger Jason Heyward to a $184 million contract. The contract called for Heyward to cover right field but didn’t require him to get any hits. Then, due to a misprint on their T-shirts, the Cubs “try to suck” by trading Dexter Fowler to the Baltimore Orioles. On April 7, Fowler miraculously emerged from the ivy — just in time to crash into Kyle Schwarber. After Schwarber underwent a double leg transplant, he said he’d be available to pinch hit in the World Series. Following the devastating injury, manager Joe Madden tried to keep the clubhouse loose, by taking his players on a shopping spree to the American Girl store. Kris Bryant was happy with his Molly doll but broke with teammates by refusing to wear the matching outfit or attend the tea party. Thanks in part to Bryant’s hot hitting, the Cubs jump out to a 25-6 start. During the streak, Jake Arrieta becomes the first Cubs starter to pitch a complete

game — while wearing only cleats and a cap. Free-swinging Javy Baez becomes the first Cub to strike out from the on-deck circle. He atones for this by covering all four infield positions at the same time. Another outstanding fielder, Anthony Rizzo, races up ramps to snag a foul ball in the upper deck. He emerges triumphantly from the stands with the ball, a beer and nachos. Meanwhile, catcher David Ross, the only member of the team to play in the 1945 World Series, catches a 100-mph warmup toss from Aroldis Chapman and immediately announces his retirement. Clean-living, clutch-hitting Ben Zobrist becomes the first Cub to go on the disabled list with an ice cream headache. Maddon keeps things loose by having the Cubs take the field in blue leisure suits. Rizzo confounds the opposing pitcher by standing directly in front of home plate and gets hit in the lapel. Maddon suddenly summons Miguel Montero to pinch run for Rizzo. He becomes the first catcher to steal second while wearing his full gear. After winning 103 games, the Cubs beat the Giants in the National League Division Series, thanks to the hit-

ting heroics of pitchers, Kyle Hendricks and Travis Wood. Advancing to the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers, the Cubs are blanked by veteran lefthander Vin Scully. They finally break through against Scully in Game Six, to win the series. In the World Series, the Cubs face the Cleveland Cuyahogas, whose logo of a flaming river on their caps offends environmentalists. After losing Game 1, Schwarber’s bat propels them to victory in Game 2. The Cubs also get a boost when Addison Russell becomes the first player to make the jump from the Little League World Series to the major league championship in the same season. Falling behind in the series, three games to one, the Cubs use closer Chapman for 17 consecutive innings. After having his left arm re-attached, Chapman said he was available for Game 7. Ross homers and is the first to round the bases using a walker. Tied in the 10th inning, a rain delay extinguishes the river and gives the Cubs a chance to regroup. After another clutch hit by Zobrist, Schwarber steals home with the winning run. Cemeteries in Chicago empty of Cub fans. They rise up to celebrate the victory at Grant Park, before heading to the polls to vote.

Advisory referenda could keep video gaming off ballot Petitions filed by Mark Hosty for three April election questions By DAVID POLLARD Contributing Reporter

Residents working on putting a referendum on the April ballot regarding video gaming may have been headed off at the impasse. On Nov. 8, former village commissioner, Mark Hosty filed petitions with Forest Village Clerk Vanessa Moritz to put three advisory referendum questions on the April 8 ballot, which is the maximum allowed, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections. The three questions are: ■ Should the Village of Forest Park restrict tobacco sales to only those persons over the age of 21? ■ Should the Village of Forest Park use the estimated $200,000 in future video gaming license revenue to lower property taxes on residents?

■ Should the Village of Forest Park work to remove the Forest Park students from Proviso High School District 209? Hosty’s effort to put referendums on the ballot comes at a time when another group in Forest Park has been working to gather signatures to put a binding referendum on the April ballot regarding the issue of video gaming in the village. The issue has generated strong debate from residents for and against the issue and now efforts to put a ref referendum on the ballot in the spring may be pre-empted because there is a limit of three for each election. Numerous individuals were out gathering signatures at polling places in Forest Park on Election Day. When contacted, Hosty, who manages Healy’s Westside, had no comment.

Hosty involved in altercation, alleges battery Forest Park resident gets ticket for battery for reportedly batting away cellphone By DAVID POLLARD Contributing Reporter

An altercation between two Forest Park residents on Election Day resulted in one being cited for battery. Kate Nolan, 55, of Forest Park, was given a ticket for battery by Forest Park police around noon on Nov. 8 outside the Howard Mohr Community Center, 7640 Jackson Blvd. Mark Hosty, a former village commissioner, said he

was assaulted by Nolan and called the police. According to a Forest Park police report, Hosty was allegedly holding his phone up to Nolan’s face and she was holding up her hand to block it. The responding officer was not there when the alleged battery took place. The report indicates that first on the scene was an Oak Park police officer named Rallidis, who happened to be driving by and noticed the disturbance. Rallidis reported to the responding Forest Park officer that he

did not observe battery. The police report quotes a witness who said Hosty was holding his phone up to Nolan’s face and observed Nolan slap Hosty’s hand away. Prior to the incident, Nolan said she was collecting signatures from residents outside of the community center, which was being used as a polling place on Election Day. She and others hope to get enough signatures to put a video gaming referendum on the spring ballot. She said that while going in and leav-

Do you have diabetes?

f you do, you should know how important foot care is. Over time, diabetics risk developing foot complications. When the nerves are damaged from chronic high blood sugar, feet can become numb or painful with burning or tingling. This is called diabetic neuropathy. When diabetes affects the arteries, circulation to the legs and feet may be compromised. Either of these conditions may lead to serious problems including ulceration, even amputation. The key to prevention is early diagnosis of diabetes, and regular foot exams from a podiatrist. Diabetics who receive regular foot care, including paring of calluses and debridement of thick fungal toenails, are almost four times less likely to undergo an

amputation than those who do not seek treatment. Medicare and some private insurances cover 1 pair of diabetic shoes and 3 pair of protective insoles each calendar year. Dr. Lambert has been a supplier of diabetic shoes since 2002. The shoes come in 30 different styles each for men and women. These include boots, lightweight colorful athletic shoes, and dress shoes. Even patients who are not diabetic love the look and comfort of the footwear. Diabetic socks, slippers and compression hosiery are also available. Protecting your feet with appropriate footgear is an important aspect of preventive care for diabetics.

Mark Hosty, former village commissioner ing the community center, Hosty allegedly walked between her and people she was talking to about signing her petition, disrupting their conversation. She alleges that Hosty called her a “bitch.” “I stopped him and asked him, ‘Who are you calling a bitch?’” she told the Review. That’s when Hosty allegedly took out his cellphone and started taking pictures. Hosty said he was minding his own business prior to the incident and said Nolan started the altercation. “I was walking out of the polling place and she [Nolan] called me a word I wouldn’t KATE NOLAN repeat,” he said. He said he didn’t know Nolan and took out his cellphone to take a picture of her after the alleged verbal insult. “If someone calls me an [a—hole], I want to know who they are,” he said. As he tried to take a picture of Nolan, Hosty claims she hit him. Nolan claims Hosty initiated the conflict by putting his cellphone in her face. “I pushed his phone out of my face,” she said. Nolan said even if she tried to hit him, it wouldn’t have done any damage. “I’m a fat old crippled lady and I’m not going to assault anyone,” she said. “He took his anger out on me and called me a bitch and then proceeded to take my picture.” Hosty said it didn’t happen that way. “I wasn’t invading MARK HOSTY her space,” he said. “I was turning away when she hit me.” He said regardless of Nolan’s allegations he was assaulted by her and that’s why he contacted the police. “I’m not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, but you’re not supposed to hit people,” he said. Nolan’s court date is at 5 p.m., Jan. 4 at Forest Park Village Hall.

Village settles lawsuit for $29K By ROBERT J. LIFKA Contributing Reporter

A former Forest Park couple has accepted a $29,000 settlement from the village in return from dropping a federal lawsuit claiming their prominent next-door neighbors conspired with the Forest Park Police Department to harass them and that the harassment eventually drove them out of their Elgin Avenue home. The settlement was approved by the Forest Park Village Council following a closed session Monday night. The $29,000, which includes legal fees, will be paid through the village’s insurance. Gladys Perez and her husband, Miguel Magallanes, who moved out of Forest Park in June, had sued Park District of Forest Park Commissioner Eric Entler and his wife Village Council Commissioner Rachell Entler, the village of Forest Park, parking enforcement officers Nick Treantafeles and Francis Lane, and police officers Roberto Salas, Nicholas Defors, and Young Lee, claiming false arrest, abuse of process, conspiracy to violate civil rights, infliction of emotional distress, and trespass to property for arresting Perez and issuing numerous tickets to vehicles owned by plaintiffs during the last two years. The plaintiffs moved out of their approximately 900-square-foot home in the 1000 block of Elgin Avenue after stopping mortgage payments and allowing the home to be foreclosed upon. According to terms of the settlement, the village and others named in the suit do not admit liability or wrongdoing. “We have reached a settlement that addresses the best interests of all involved,” Village Administrator Tim Gillian said, noting continuing to trial would have cost the village more than $29,000 in legal fees even if the suit had been successful. Magallanes is an independent tow truck driver and often had more than one vehicle parked in his driveway, which is just inches away from the Entlers’ home.

The lawsuit claims that the Entlers believed all the trucks parked in the driveway next to their home were interfering with their attempts to sell or rent out their home. Lawyers for the defendants denied the allegations. The complaint claims that Perez was arrested for aggravated battery on the morning of Feb. 5, 2015 after Treantafeles claimed that Perez spit on him after Treantafeles issued four tickets to vehicles parked in the defendant’s driveway. Their attorney, Nicolas Albukerk, claims that Perez was arrested and placed in a Forest Park jail cell. After processing and questioning, he was released after about 2½ hours at the police station and issued a ticket for disorderly conduct. Albukerk claims that Perez was arrested because Treantafeles was angry that Perez was taking video of him on her smartphone as he was issuing tickets. According to terms of the settlement, the police department will dismiss all parking tickets issued during the disputed period, which were mostly for the prohibited parking of a commercial vehicle in a residential area. Forest Park municipal ordinances prohibit the parking of more than one commercial vehicle on any lot in a residential district. The agreement includes a confidentiality clause limiting comments by Perez and Magallanes. Under the clause, for which the village will pay an additional $100, Perez and Magallanes agree to keep the terms of the agreement confidential other than to state the matter has been resolved. Entler abstained from the vote, which was approved 3-0. Commissioner Dan Novak was absent.

A 27-year-old man acting as an election judge at Garfield School, 543 Hannah Ave., on Election Day, Nov. 8, called police at about 10:20 a.m. after a disturbance involving a 27-year-old Forest Park woman. According to the police report, the judge was checking in voters when he observed the woman recording him on her cellphone. The judge reportedly recognized the woman from high school, but he could not remember. When the judge confronted the woman about the use of her cellphone camera in the polling place, the two began to exchange words. When the judge pulled out his cellphone to record the woman, she allegedly slapped the cellphone out of his hand and left the polling place. The election judge told police he wanted to pursue charges against the woman, but it’s unclear whether police were able to make contact with her.

Groped on the el

Forest Park police charged a 62-year-old Chicago man with battery after a 26-year-old woman called to complain that he had inappropriately touched her while they were on the Blue Line train as it was pulling into the Desplaines Avenue terminal on Nov. 7 about 5 p.m. According to the victim, the offender

rubbed his hands on her buttocks while leaning into her to smell her hair. The victim immediately called police, who took the man into custody before the train could pull back out of the station.

Vehicle break-ins ■■The manager at Elite Staffing, 1229 Harlem Ave., called police on the morning of Nov. 7 to report that during the overnight hours someone broke out the driver’s side windows of two transport buses and removed DVD players with 17-inch screens that were mounted to the roofs of each vehicle. Nothing else was taken from the vehicles. ■■A 32-year-old man called police on Nov. 8 to complain that someone had tried to gain access to his 2013 Chrysler 300, which was parked in the U.S. Postal Service Bulk Mail Center north lot, 7500 Roosevelt Road, by popping the driver’s side door lock. The offender only succeeded in breaking off the door handle, police said, and did not gain entry. ■■Also on Nov. 8, a 53-year-old man called police to report that someone had attempted to pry the driver’s side door handle from his 2012 Chevy Impala, which was parked in the U.S. Postal Service Bulk Mail Center north lot, 7500 Roosevelt Road. ■■Police responded to the 1200 block of Marengo Avenue on the morning of Nov. 11 after a resident called to report that, during the overnight hours, someone had broken out the rear passenger window of her vehicle and stole a black gym bag.

Burglary ■■Police responded to Walmart, 1300 Desplaines Ave., on Nov. 12 after the store manager called to report that, overnight, someone cut the lock off a trailer parked on the west side of the building and removed 60 boxes of layaway merchandise. ■■A 27-year-old man called police on Nov. 9 to report that two Trek road bikes were stolen from the underground parking garage of a building in the 7500 block of Randolph St. The victim said both bikes, valued at $3,000 and $1,100, were locked to the bike rack and had last been seen there on Nov. 6. The garage area is kept locked and is accessible only to those with keys and a keypad code, according to police.

These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, Nov. 6-13, 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.

ELECTION REACTIONS

From shock to wait-and-see from page 1 is still being displayed and accepted. These hateful people feel safe or even untouchable, and this is a very dangerous situation for everyone. For what he has said about women, minorities and other ramblings of a lunatic, that man does not have my respect.” The reaction of Melanie Kinkaid, who works as a caregiver, was simply, “Shock. Deep sense of foreboding for our country. Great concern for marginalized groups. Grief not unlike losing a loved one.” Others gave a more measured response. Tim Gillian, Forest Park’s village administrator, recognized that some people were elated by the results of the election while some reacted negatively. “I fully understand the nervousness of people who may be affected by some of the rhetoric from this president-elect,” he said. “I understand their fears, but I believe that it will take some time for things to sort out in that regard.” He added that we’ll have to wait and see how the Trump presidency will filter down and affect Forest Park. Joel Foster, a financial advisor with Edward Jones, did not think that the election of Donald Trump will have a long-term ef-

He said, “A long-term strategy is going to work no matter who is in office. Good companies are good companies.” Some talked about the glass ceiling. Erin Scheiber is the clinic director at ATI on Harlem Avenue. “I was shocked at the election results,” she said, “the message that it sent to our younger people is that our country is very far away from having a woman president.

advancement at Roosevelt University, analyzed the election results this way: “With the electoral college, presidential elections are all about shoring up votes in ‘battleground’ states, and clearly the Trump campaign knew those people better than the Clinton campaign. We aren’t ready for a woman president, it seems, especially one who is so closely associated with DC and ‘business as usual.’ More of a repudiation of Hillary than an embrace of Trump.” Our Chief of Police, Tom Aftanas, added a little humor to his comments. “Personally, I am glad this campaign and election are completed. I was tired of watching the news and listening to both candidates. The only thing related to Trump and Clinton that I looked forward to is how they were portrayed on Saturday Night Live.” On a more serious note, he said that he, like Tim Gillian and Erin Scheiber, aren’t sure how the new administration will affect his corner of the world. “I suppose it is possible that any illegal aliens who are taken into custody who have ‘serious’ criminal histories may eventually be turned over to federal authorities,” he said, but “again, I have not heard that will take place.” Arthur Zachariasz, an ICU registered nurse, had a unique perspective on the election results: “I could not help feeling surprised and in a sort of way enthralled,” he wrote in an email, “as I was witnessing not only a major historical event unfolding live before me, but the ultimate upset. I voted for Stein due to Sanders not being nominated. Democrats should be angry at the DNC for pushing Clinton through, and I cannot help feeling some sense of relief that Clinton and Kaine were not elected. If only Michelle Obama had run.” Louis Cavallo, the District 91 superintendent, reacted to the whole election season by focusing on the positive light it shed on Forest Park. “Regardless of how you voted in this past election,” he began, “the results have brought about a focus on some of the more negative aspects of society. Emphasis has been placed on what divides us and our distrust and fear of others not like us.” Then he added, “I truly believe that Forest Park, our small diverse community, is a shining example of why the rhetoric and hate-speech is not who we, as Americans, are. You only have to visit our schools to see white, black, Hispanic, Muslim, and Christian children living, learning, playing and simply being together as a community. A true community. A community that cares for one another and supports each other, despite our differences. So the next time the results of the election begin to weigh on you as an adult, visit one of our schools and remember who we really are.”

Here’s Your Fall Clean-Up List We have moved closer to winter’s start than summer’s end, so it’s time for a Fall Clean-Up List: 1. Clean-up landscape debris: Removing any fallen landscape debris such as branches and leaves will help prevent nesting of pests and will limit the ability for plant diseases to incubate in fallen plant tissues. 2. Cut back perennials: Doing so will allow them to have uninhibited growth during the spring flush.

Scott McAdam Jr.

3. Fertilize your lawn: Apply a late-season, winterizing fertilizer that is high in phosphorus. This will allow for enough nutrients to sustain through the winter, provide better root growth, and allow your lawn to be lush come spring. 4. Give one final mow: Set your lawn mower to a low setting between 2 and 2 ½”. A lower mowing height will benefit the turf since the soil will be able to dry faster during the spring thaw and it will be less vulnerable to winter turf diseases. 5. Protect your sensitive plants: Adding a layer of mulch at the base, wrapping your plants, or applying anti-desiccant sprays will help your vulnerable plants sustain through the winter and minimize any damage from freezing. 6. Plant your bulbs: Taking this step during the late fall will provide your garden with seasonal color in the spring.

Proviso grad lures Brits across the pond News anchor Jon Snow talked to Kelauni Cook about Obama, Trump By MICHAEL ROMAIN

Staff Reporter

anette van der Laan, a producer, waited by a rental car parked near a bike path in Maywood last month as her co-worker, camerawoman Clementine Malpas, shot B-roll footage of Proviso East graduate Kelauni Cook jogging with her mother Charmene Cook. This wasn’t Hollywood enough to draw people out of their homes, but the curiosity prompted stares. During the scene, several cars whizzed by, with some drivers peering to see what was happening. Van der Laan and Malpas work for Channel 4 News — Britain’s equivalent of ABC or CBS. The scene they were working on aired in that country in the days leading up to America’s Nov. 8 election. “We’re the only hour-long, primetime news program on British TV,” said van der Laan. “Jon Snow is our main anchor.” Snow is Britain’s Tom Brokaw. He’s sort of a big deal. “Whenever I’m filming with Jon in England, it’s a real problem,” said van der Laan. “We were filming in a cafe in London once and there was a line with like 20 people waiting for selfies.” Kelauni, however, didn’t have to wait in line and she did more than just take a selfie with the news legend, described

on his station’s website as the face of Channel 4 News since 1989. Last month the Proviso East alumna, who now works as a software engineer in Pittsburgh, was interviewed by Snow in her parents’ living room — eight years after he first spoke to her on election night in 2008, when she was a student at Howard University in Washington, D.C. “We were watching the returns on CNN during a viewing party inside of this big room,” Cook, who currently lives in Pittsburgh and works in computer coding, recalled of the historic night in 2008. “Twenty seconds after they called the race for Obama, I jumped on a chair and was heaving crying,” she said. “I couldn’t catch my breath and the next thing I know, this bright light and a camera were in my face and this guy was asking me how I felt and what it was like.” Cook said she was in such a state of euphoria that the moment barely registered with her, until she saw the video eight years later, when Snow and his producers decided to follow-up with her and another Howard student who was interviewed that night; however, Channel 4 encountered one problem. “Nobody wrote down you guys’ names,” said van der Laan. “Jon went there and had to rush back to the hotel quickly and put a piece together that went out that night.” Van der Laan said trying to identify Cook was “like searching for a needle in a haystack.” They called Howard Courtesy Kelauni Cook

Shoebox Project supports women’s shelters Donations can be made at local businesses By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter

The Shoebox Project for Shelters is already at work in Forest Park filling ordinary shoeboxes with items valued at up to $50 to give to women in women’s shelters as a gesture of kindness and a reminder that these women have not been forgotten. The goal set for our area is, by mid-December, to collect 300 boxes, 100 of which will go to Sarah’s Inn in Oak Park. The concept, according to information from the Shoebox Project, is to take an ordinary shoebox and decorate the top and bottom separately, so the gift can be inspected before delivery. The box is then to be filled with: ■ Something warm like mittens, scarf, hat, socks ■ Something sweet like nut-free chocolates and candy ■ Body or hand lotion, soaps, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss ■ Brush, comb, shampoo, conditioner, hair ties ■ Nail polish, mascara, eye shadow, lipstick ■ Purse-sized Kleenex, small cosmetic bag ■ Journal, pens ■ Gift cards ■ El and bus cards Instructions from the project say to include only new/ unused items and not hotel-sized items. The instructions also tell participants to include a per-

sonal message. “Women who receive a gift from the Shoebox Project,” organizers say, “are touched by the effort that goes into decorating the shoebox as well as the special cards, messages, and poems contained inside.” The information from the organizers says that the project began in Canada in 2011 at which time 400 shoeboxes were delivered to residents in four Toronto women’s shelters. It grew to the point where in 2015 the network of volunteers delivered almost 25,000 gifts to women in 134 countries. A statement from the Shoebox Project organization explained, “For women who have been displaced from their homes and estranged from their families, the holidays can be a particularly challenging time. A shoebox is a reminder that she remains a valued and respected member of her community.” Laurie Kokenes, director of the Forest Park Chamber of Commerce, said that businesses in the village are being encouraged to set out containers in which customers can donate items on the list. The Shoebox organization requests that shoeboxes be of standard size — not boot or children’s boxes — so that every woman receives a box of the same size. For more information, contact the area coordinator Emily Leu, at chicago@shoeboxproject.com or Rachell Entler at rentler@pdofp.org, 7501 W. Harrison St. Forest Park, IL 60130, 708-366-7500. Information can also be obtained at chicago@shoeboxproject.com, and www.shoeboxproject.org. Entler can also be contacted as a source of information for businesses. Drop off locations are the Park District of Forest Park and Bareburger in Chicago.

Kelauni Cook with British TV journalist/celebrity Jon Snow. University, but in vain. They searched the university’s website for clues, scouring thousands of faces in online yearbooks. “About two months ago, one of my really good friends, who lives in New York and is part of a Howard email group, said [Channel 4] was looking for me,” Cook said. “Somebody recognized me and sent a message to my best friend, who told me. After that, I reached out to the producer looking for me and worked out a time they could come.” Snow interviewed Cook at her family’s Maywood home and even took in lunch with the Howard alum in Chicago, where he got his first taste of Chicago Chicken and Waffles. Eight years later, Snow asked Cook in her parents’ living room, whether her feelings about Obama have changed. “I think everyone put so much pressure on one man. He couldn’t be black people’s president. He had to be everyone’s president,” Cook said. “And I think a lot of people kind of lost sight of that.” “So what,” Snow asked, a month before the Nov. 8 election, “has Obama’s presidency done to race?” “I think it shed a light on the people who weren’t ready for that to happen,” Cook said. “And his election opened up Pandora’s box of these sub-communities who just absolutely weren’t for it. “Trump would not be where he is had Obama not been president. Period. Because Trump is catering to those people who — the night of the election, you saw me scream and yell and cry — those people were doing the same thing but for a different reason.” CONTACT: michael@oakpark.com

A Dickens of an Antioch outing

s the bus left the Community Center last Wednesday, Denise told Vincent, our driver, to go all the way up to Canada. (This was the day after the election.) Vincent said he couldn’t do that, but he took us up to Antioch, as previously planned. The journey to Antioch was just what we needed, it completely took our minds off politics. Maybe you’ve read about the little town in Texas that has adopted a Dickens theme. Well, we have one right here in Antioch — all over town, mannequins dressed in 19th-century attire, decorated the streets. We even had Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim with us. It was a bright, sunny day, not too cold, not too warm. Denise Murray has a knack for finding unique places to visit, always keeping the ■ price in mind. We started the day at a tea house where several flavors of tea were served with “scones.” Barbara Porch was our hostess, compliments of the Antioch Chamber of Commerce. She told us that several years ago a local merchant, “Uncle Charlie,” got the idea to honor Dickens after seeing the project elsewhere. The citizens of Antioch liked the idea, and volunteers worked at the project until it developed into what you see today. More ideas and projects are in operation, and the Dickens holiday promises to grow and prosper. The lovely 19th-century women’s apparel was hand-sewn and decorated by the talented women Gunther of Antioch; in many cases the & Karen ladies created outfits in their own homes. Mannequins were created in Newman such a way that their arms and legs can move. Each Dickens head is a work of art having taken many hours to create. Finding volunteers to work on “Dickens” was no problem. Everyone seemed to be delighted to work on the idea. There are, of course, souvenirs galore; especially a T-shirt and with a mean face saying “Scrooge U.” A favorite is the dog Oliver who adorns shirts, coffee mugs and sweatshirts. Oliver is a copy of a favorite Antioch dog, a Bernese Mountain dog whose name actually is “Oliver.”

Denise Murray is shown in the photo with a new friend. Rosemary and Peggy joined two Victorian ladies as they went calling. Toward the end of the day while others were getting a breath of air in the warm afternoon sun, Gunther and Karen Neumann walked up a hill, found a duck pond and walked across a lovely bridge over the pond. Bring the kids. On Saturdays, Dickens fun is happening all around downtown. Listen to the carolers, musicians, lots of Christmas joy. If kids can spot Scrooge on Saturdays (through Dec. 17) from noon until 2, he will give them some shiny new pennies, grumbling all the time. He hates to part with a penny. The folks of Antioch have really gotten into the spirit of Dickens. For an events calendar, visit www.DickensHolidayVillage.com. From Dec. 1 through 25 there is a scavenger hunt. One lucky winner will win a special prize! You probably already knew that Charles Dickens had a ne’er-do-well brother who lived in Chicago. He is buried in an unmarked grace at Graceland Cemetery. Christmas Craft Fairs are all over the place. There’s another at Ascension School in the gym, 822 S. Clarence, from 10 until 1 on Dec. 3. And remember the one at the 19th Century Club, 178 Forest. That’s on Dec. 17 from 10:30 until 1:30. That one has cookies, tea and photos with Santa. The Park District of Forest Park has a Craft Fair in the park building on Nov. 19. The party is from 10 until 4, so come and join your friends, pick up some Christmas gems and contribute to our park. The memorial Mass for Zeno Jacquat is being celebrated on Nov. 26 at St. Edmund, 11 am. Zeno will never be forgotten. The Symphony of Oak Park-River Forest will be heard on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 4 p.m., Vivaldi, Nielsen, 4th Symphony. That’s at Dominican University, River Forest. Plenty of free parking. Happy birthday to Gina Orlando, Olinda Fink, Jaime Cook, Brandon Paugh, Roberta James, Karen McGrath, Gina Barger, William Shremsher, Ariel Smith, Daryl Latall, Brian Hawkins, Meagan Ryann, Emmie Whitebone, May Bill (#96!), Jessica Marafatso, Patrick Rice, Michael Branda, and Maddie McKay. Happy anniversary to Augie and Tracy Aleksy.

Start the holidays with a housewalk Housewalk benefits Children's Clinic By LACEY SIKORA

Contributing Reporter

he Infant Welfare Society of Oak Park and River Forest is celebrating 100 years of healthy kids in 2016, and its annual Holiday Housewalk kicks of the season with style. The Housewalk is the Infant Welfare Society’s biggest fundraiser of the year for its Children’s Clinic, a medical home for under and uninsured children. This year, five sets of homeowners along with the help of countless volunteers, aim to brighten your holiday season with the goal of providing medical care for children in need. Sarina Butler, who is chairing the Housewalk for the IWS, notes that this year, she and the committee sought to do something different with the house selection. “This year, there is no big palace of a home, but we do have five really spectacular houses that are livable. Everyone can relate to these houses.” She goes on to state why showcasing family homes is such an important part of the Holiday Housewalk. “In our area, we have a wonderful architectural heritage and a diverse heritage of the people who live here. We’re trying to touch various pieces of our heritage through the walk, and along with that comes the heritage of every family’s unique traditions. That’s why we all chose to live here, because we enjoy the differences in one another, and we respect that and celebrate it.” The five house on the walk this year all on holiday traditions. In River Forest, a Frank Lloyd Wrightinspired home brings the outdoors in with holiday decorations that celebrate the Prairie Style home built in the 1990’s. SARINA BUTLER IWS Holiday Housewalk Chair. An Oak Park Colonial style home, with a brand new kitchen and family room addition includes family decorations for the owners’ three children, and family traditions from needlepointed stockings to a Santa collection. A Colonial Revival home with simple elegance, gold trees home is bedecked with thirty one years of family ornaments, two trees and a family heirloom nativity meticulously restored, and during the holiday season a star theme decorates the home as does the twelve to fourteen foot tree placed in the front window every year.

"We're trying to touch various pieces of our heritage through the walk, and along with that comes the heritage of every family's unique traditions."

Decking the halls for the holidays last December.

For Butler, the Holiday Housewalk brings meaning to the season because of the mission of the Infant Welfare Society. “The Children’s Clinic served about 3,500 children last year through over kids can go for dental, physical and mental health

services. That’s why we all do this. It’s for the kids.” The Holiday Housewalk takes place Friday, December 2 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday, December 3 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets for the Holiday Housewalk and Market can be

purchased online at www.oprfiws.org or by calling 708.848.0528 extension 231. In person ticket outlets include Tulipia Floral Design in River Forest, and Careful Peach and Geppetto’s Toy Box at the door.

Shopping with benefits Infant Welfare Society Holiday Market mixes fun with charity By LACEY SIKORA Contributing Reporter

hen the Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society hosts its annual Holiday Housewalk and Market the weekend of December 2 and 3, the party will get started with the accompanying Holiday Market, held at Oak Park’s Nineteenth Century Club. The weekend is kicked off early, on Thursday December 1, for those who attend the Market’s Preview Party from 6 to 9:30 p.m. From the signature champagne cocktail to the live music, the Preview Party offers a festive atmosphere for everyone who wants to start the weekend with a bit of shopping. Market Chair, Liz Robinson, says that for those looking to score a unique gift, the Preview Party is worth your while. “The Preview gives people a chance to get in early. A lot of our vendors are selling one-of-a-kind items, so once someone makes a purchase it is gone.” On Friday, December 2 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturday, December 3 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the market will be open to the general public for free. Robinson says this important change

makes the market more welcoming to the entire community and should benefit the IWS’s Children’s Clinic greatly. "Shopping at the market is a great way to contribute to our Children's Clinic because our generous vendors donate 15% of every sale back to us to help us support it.” Robinson says the juried market will offer something for everyone. “Lexi Nielsen and her team have found artisans and vendors across multiple price points and a range of merchandise from hostess gifts to holidays outfits to business gifts" The Celebration Tablescapes were created by Nancy Van Der Griend and her committee, and the raffle winners receive a complete table setting. With themes running the gamut from Christmas to Bird of Paradise to Gentleman’s Table, the tablescapes include fine china and linens as well as table top decorations. IWS volunteer Debbie Blanco is bringing back the Sugar Plum Café on Friday and Saturday. Whether you’re coming straight from work and want to grab a to-go bag of food or want to take a break during the Housewalk and enjoy soup and sandwiches, the Sugar Plum café provides a place to hang out and rest your feet during the busy weekend.

And on Friday night, Exit Strategy microbrewery from Forest Park will hold a beer tasting at 6:30 p.m. and at 7:00 p.m. Robinson acknowledges that it takes a lot of volunteers to set up and plan the market every year but that it is always worth it. “It’s a labor of love, but it is always such a fun weekend. At the end of the day, we think about all of the kids we are helping at the Children’s Clinic and how great a need there is in the community for the Clinic’s services.” Tickets for the Holiday Market Preview Party on Thursday, December 1 are $15 and can be purchased at www.oprfiws.orf or by calling 708.848.0528 extension 231. On Friday, December 2 and Saturday, December 3, entry to the market is free.

We usually have all types of wood from mid-century to old growth. We might include wood previously used as hardwood floors or trim. We leave the hardware options open.” Deleon says the workshops are open to people of all ages and skill levels, although any children must sign up with a parent. She says the workshop is a great way to learn or hone a skill while making something useful. “Maybe you haven’t used a drill or don’t understand sanding, but you will get to

work on that.” At the end of the day, Deleon says the workshop is about re-using materials to create a unique piece. “People really get the pride of making something themselves. It’s also really rewarding to see an item that you think may have lived its life, and be able to give it new life as something else.” The Holiday workshop will last three hours and cost to attend is $125.

Forest Park Review, November 16, 2016

OPINION O U R

V I E W

A Democratic Forest Park

n the tawdry and discouraging national election just concluded, it is of interest to note just how wildly Democratic Forest Park has become. Yep, Donald J. Trump is still, stunningly, Presidentelect. But in Forest Park, 70 percent of registered voters turned out to vote last week and, depending on the precinct, Hillary Clinton won 80 to 85 percent of the votes cast for president. Trump earned just 10 to 15 percent in any one precinct. Third party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein gathered a few breadcrumbs. Tammy Duckworth, Illinois’ new senator and one of just two Democratic pick-ups in the upper chamber, clobbered incumbent Mark Kirk with 75 to 85 percent of the vote across local precincts. What does it mean locally? Simply that Forest Park’s politics on a national level are quite progressive. Eventually that will catch up in local elections.

Assaulted and assaulted Former village commissioner Mark Hosty has been a busy boy. On Election Day, he was allegedly assaulted by a 55-year-old grandma outside a polling place. And later that same day, he assaulted the entire village when he filed those bogus petitions at village hall. The purpose of the rubbish petitions is to allow a pliable mayor and village council to place the bogus petitions on the April ballot, thereby crowding out the legitimate effort to place a binding referendum regarding video gaming on the ballot. Let us stipulate that Hosty and his unnamed co-conspirators have done nothing illegal. In some circles, you might call this action politically adroit. We’d call it out as slimy, cynical and a slap in the face to many, many Forest Parkers who are tired of these sorts of shenanigans. Some of those frustrated are vocal opponents of video gaming. But an increasing number have just had it with hardball tactics in this small town. Hosty, who manages, at the very least, Healy’s West Side bar and restaurant, has a direct financial benefit in keeping the gaming vote off the ballot. That is not lost on us or on most citizens. At some point, likely in a late addition to a village council agenda, the commissioners will have to ratify these petitions. Assuming Commissioner Tom Mannix and Mayor Anthony Calderone are in on this fix, which of the three remaining commissioners, Joe Byrnes, Rachell Entler or Dan Novak, will have the spine to object to democracy being hijacked in Forest Park? We’ll be watching. We’d note that one of Hosty’s trash-talking petitions is a return to his longtime and insulting question of whether Forest Park should secede from the Proviso high schools. Hosty seems to have missed the news that new and forward-looking Forest Parkers have actively engaged in remaking District 209. More proof that Hosty and his cronies are over-eager to live in the past.

Thanks for helping to ‘build a better world’
