Proviso East alum believes in Maywood

Alum looks beyond traditional post high school education needs

By AMARIS E. RODRIGUEZ Staff Reporter

Determined to give back to the Proviso East community, Vau’ve Davis, a graduate of the high school herself, created a scholarship looking beyond the need for tuition assistance and offering awarded seniors financial assistance while they pursue opportunities after high school.

“One thing that was important for me is that they were not constrained to ‘oh this just has to be for books,’ “ said Davis. “I understand, especially if you have a single parent, sometimes it could just be those little things and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to receive it [the scholarship] and they still might need the day to day.”

Davis created The Proviso East Class of 2003 Scholarship Fund a little over five years ago, to aid graduating seniors with a monetary gift they are allowed to use at their discretion, giving those students who are not pursuing a traditional college education the opportunity to receive assistance as well.

Students applying for the scholarship can submit a business plan mapping out their entrepreneurial jour ney for consideration.

It was important for Davis to widen the scope of what the scholarship could be used for as many students, especially those from low-income communities, face a broader set of hurdles than just tuition, as she did herself

Westchester welcomes new elected village o cials

New village president, village clerk and trustees sworn in May 9

“Greg, you did it!,” Yarbrough told Hribal before swearing him in as village president. After Hribal finished his oath, the room filled with applause from residents and village of ficials.

Hribal thanked Yarbrough for coming to Westchester and swearing him in, describing it as “a huge honor and privile ge.”

“I can only thank all of those who are here who did take the time to write my name in,” Hribal said. “I believe I got my message out very swiftly and efficiently

to work.” He said after election results were certified, he has already visited Springfield to talk to state legislators to advocate for state funds to be dedicated to Westchester and has met with developers to talk about several projects he hopes to bring to the village.

Benline, Marzo and Vann join board trustees Robert Morales, Evie Slavic and Nick Steker, who up until May 9 served as acting village president. He will now return to his village board duties as Hribal takes the role of village president.

“I absolutely thank everyone who is here for their support because you have motivated me to move Westchester forward,” Benline said after thanking her family members. “I’m excited and let’s get the job done.”

Collins, who was sworn in by her son Atan Nelson, said it is her first rodeo as a public servant. “I love serving people and that’s why I’m here. I promise you that I will do my very best.”

Marzano thanked “everyone who exercised the right to vote” and the voters who supported him. “I’m humbly ready to serve the village of Westchester.

Vann thanked everyone who supported her and “took the time to get to know her.”

“Thank you, residents, because at the end of the day it’s really about you. I’m here as a vessel for you so use this opportunity while I’m here to be your voice,” she said.

At the meeting, departing board members were also recognized for their service to the village’s local government. Former trustees Tracy Jennings, Cathy Kuratko and Tracy Markey were awarded individual proclamations by the Village of Westchester, now led by Hribal and Collins. Former village clerk, Jennifer Hall was also honored, and so was Steker for serving as acting village president.

Next step on D209 election recount is up to Kelly

Discover y recount completed. Kelly could le suit

By AMARIS E. RODRIGUEZ Staff Reporter

In an effort to retain her seat on the board of education for the Proviso Township High School District 209, Theresa Kelly filed a discovery recount request with the Cook County Clerk’s Office, which was conducted on Wednesday, May 17.

According to the Cook County Clerk’s Office Kelly submitted the request for a discovery recount on May 1. The Cook County Clerk’s Office said no “results” stem from the recount.

“Our official certification done April 25 does not change,” said the clerk’s office. “It is simply a chance for a losing candidate to review the ballots with the hope they might ‘discover’ errors that could potentially

“As a product of a single parent, there were a lot of struggles and there wasn’t a lot of financial support so receiving scholarships was incredibly important in that whole journey,” said Davis. “Even though I was accepted in various universities, you still have your hurdles of getting there.”

The logistics, as Davis said, sometimes go unseen. From travel costs, to clothes, to additional supplies, a college student faces financial challenges in various ways

“You might need everyday things beyond your books, room, and board,” Davis said, adding she recalls spending her high school lunch breaks applying for scholarships and wanted to help future students not face quite as many challenges. “That was in the back of my mind, that I wanted to create that for students coming after me because I knew how hard it is, having to go through the process.” Davis went on to attend the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and graduated with a degree in psychology with a minor in African American studies, working in the nonprofit sector for over 15 years.

change the results.”

The certified election results confirmed Kelly had lost her seat on the board to newcomer Jennifer Barbahen by 12 votes during the April 4 elections Kelly did not respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.

According to the clerk’s office, 18 precincts in Proviso Township were recounted, costing $180, for which Kelly was financially responsible.

Chicago based lawyer Michael Kasper represented Kelly. He served as the for mer general counsel for for mer Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, currently pending a corruption trial. Kasper and his office were not able to be reached for comment.

Under state law, Kelly was within her right to request the discovery recount as her vote total fell within the 95% range of Barbahen’s 4,811 votes.

Barbahen said she was made aware of the

“It has been a passion of mine working with organizations that are led by missions and helping at-risk populations,” Davis said.

While the need for a college education has been ingrained in the minds of students through societal pressures, Davis said students should be encouraged to pursue other avenues as well.

“College is honestly not for everyone,” Davis said. “It doesn’t sound good that college isn’t for everybody but that is a reality. My generation was raised on ‘go to school, go to college and you’ll figure it out late,’ but there are other viable options where you don’t have to spend so much of your life figuring out ‘oh this isn’t for me’.”

Davis, who grew up in Forest Park, said the Proviso community and students in the Proviso Township High School District 209 have faced challenging times but continue to persevere despite the often-negative perception of the district.

Despite witnessing gang activity and losing friends to gun violence while attending Proviso East, Davis continues to advocate for the Maywood community, where her home church is based, saying that the tight-knit community has a special place in her heart.

“Maywood is still very vibrant,” Davis said. “It is still thriving and there are still some very excellent students in spite of the reputation and some of the things they may

“We had about 18 volunteers that came with us to help be ‘watchers’ for the recount,” Barbahen said. “We had a lot of community support and volunteers with us today.”

“The board of election said there was nothing really that happened at the end,” said Barbahen. “We went, we observed, and it did finish so we did conclude this afternoon.”

What happens next, well, that would be up to Kelly, said Barbahen.

According to the county clerk’s office, if Kelly believes they observed enough errors, she can file a court case to contest the election, which would go before a judge to allow them to proceed in court.

Despite recent controv sies pertaining to the boar of education, Supt. James Henderson, and the 2022 teacher strike, Davis sai positive news is still coming out of the district and the Maywood community

“They are really resilient, in spite of the thing they are dealing with, community wise and personally, they are doing excellent work,” Davis said. “I feel that there is a lot of potential…There are students and people that are doing great things. “

Davis hopes to draw support from the Proviso community for future scholarships, so they can continue to help local students pursue their post high school goals, additionally encouraging Proviso East students to apply for future scholarships. More information can be found online at provisoeastscholarshipfund.com.

“Karen Yarbrough [Cook County Clerk] and the Cook County elections division, they went through and certified the ballots and so I trust that the election board knows what they are doing and is doing it with accuracy and with transparency and accountability,” said Barbahen. “I trust the system.”

The Proviso 209 Together slate will not let the discovery recount slow them down as they gear up for their first full meeting of the board of education on Tuesday May 16, It will be held at Proviso Math and Science Academy, 8601 Roosevelt Rd., Forest Park, at 7 p.m.

“The business of the district has to continue, and it will continue with David (Ocampo), Sandra (Hixson) , and I,” Barbahen said. “We are excited to get in there. We are excited to do the work and we are ready. That doesn’t stop and that doesn’t get sidetracked because there was a discovery recount. We are ready to go.”

Mothers march for women victims of murder in Pr

Moms of Murdered Sons organized a march to bring awareness to murdered women in Proviso

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

On May 12, Proviso mothers and community members were invited to join the Women Community March organized by Moms of Murdered Sons, a not-for-profit advocacy organization for mothers and family members that had lost a loved one to gun violence.

The goal of the march was to bring awareness about the murders of women in the Proviso area.

Phyllis ‘Yafah’ Duncan, founder of Moms of Murdered Sons, said the march is necessary to bring awareness to the women – mothers and daughters -- who have lost their lives to gun violence and violence.

Moms of Murdered Sons was founded in 2006 by Duncan after she lost her son in 2005. She started the group at the Bellwood Library to offer family members of victims of gun violence a space for support.

On Friday, the organization installed a resource library at the Bellwood memorial garden across the street from the Bellwood Water Department, at the intersection of Georgina Lane and Madison Street. The library was sponsored by Jack and Jill of America and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Wellington.

Duncan said the resource library is similar to the little libraries often found outside homes or schools. Yet, this library is different as the booth contains information and resources about grief support, mental health and wellness, accessible to anyone who has lost a loved one.

After the installation ceremony, community residents were invited to march to bring awareness to the murders of women in Proviso. The rain did not stop attendees from marching from the Memorial Garden to the Maywood Peace Garden, located on 17th St. and Madison. Several families, including Duncan’s daughters and grandchildren joined.

Earlier this year, Duncan was nominated by Triton Colle ge for the Distinguished Alumnus Award granted by the Illinois Community Colle ge Trustees Association for her work supporting families of gun-violence victims. She will be awarded the distinction on June 2, 2023.

ings, the Maywood Home for Soldiers’ Widows, built in 1924. Thanks to the Daughters of Union Veterans, the home was set up as a care home for elderly widows of fallen Union Soldiers of the Civil War and their children.

Vicki Haas, one of the event organizers said the event provided an opportunity for families and children to engage with American and local history. Attendees could ask questions to participating living historians, an opportunity that textbooks don’t provide.

The Home for Soldiers’ Widows is an invitation to reflect on what social services and care institutions exist now compared to the early 1900s. It is also an endangered local landmark in Illinois.

At Saturday’s event, volunteering historical interpreters portrayed scenes of life in the Civil War era. Living history demonstrations also show how simple modern tasks such as cooking, camping or creating tools were so dif ferent at the time For example, a pen that is commonly available now, was not used at the time

In years past, attendees were able to witness how a scribe in one of the battalions wrote messages to send to other encampment using quill and ink, Haas said.

This year, historical interpreters dressed in blue civil war military unifor ms demonstrated what a military encampment in the civil war era looked like and how muskets, muzzle-loading firearms used at the time, were fired.

Restore local government tax revenue fund

As the 2023 Spring Legislative Session draws to a close, legislators have the opportunity to make a big difference in communities throughout the state. With the state’s finances continuing to remain stable, now is the time for the state to restore the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) to its promised level.

LGDF was established to give 10% of the state’s total income tax revenue to Illinois municipalities to pay for services like mandated pension benefits, critical infrastructure re pairs, public safety and other important programs. LGDF revenues have been routinely cut in recent years as policy makers cited the state’s budget woes. Our leaders have said that our state is no longer on the edge of the financial abyss, and it is now time to do right by our communities and reverse these cuts.

Currently, local governments receive just 6.16% of individual income tax collections and 6.845% of corporate income tax

collections. This lack of funding comes at a time when the state continues to impose unfunded mandates on municipalities, adding to existing budget pressures. By not keeping the promise of 10%, we lose out on much-needed revenue to help keep fees and property taxes down as we strive to provide the best services possible for our community.

In River Forest, the village has lost over $8 million in LGDF revenue since the cuts were put in place in 2011. This money could have been spent on improving alleys, addressing lead service lines, or providing our first responders with the best equipment.

In Broadview, the village has lost over $5.7 million in LGDF revenue since cuts were made in 2011. This funding would have gone to support capital projects, assist with unfunded mandates and improve equipment necessary for our public safety teams.

The village of Oak Park has lost $40 million since 2011, due to LGDF cuts. This funding would have assisted with expanding alley improvements and other capital projects, supporting sustainability, and furthering an economic development plan inclusive of all our business districts, and af fordable housing goals

Lawmakers must make increasing LGDF funding a priority as they finalize the budget. Our community and many others across Illinois are relying on their support
