‘You are being lynched,’ board member says to Henderson

The reign of the ‘Henderson Five’ seems to have ended

Audible gasps and murmurs came from the audience in attendance at the May 16 board of education meeting for Proviso Township High School District 209 as previous board president Arbdella Patterson told Supt. James Henderson ‘you are being lynched,” during a discussion.

The board was speaking re garding action item 25: Approval of Directives for Administrative Employee, which was discussed during closed session, when Patterson expressed her concern regarding a portion of the item where it discussed reimbursement.

Since addressed in closed session, the item was not discussed during the live-streamed meeting but did fall into possible ways the new board majority, composed of board members Sandra Hixson, Jennifer Barbahen, David Ocampo, and new board president Amanda Grant, will attempt to hold Henderson accountable following the many controversies and alle ged mishandling of district funds.

It is unclear if the discussion involved a new contract or revisions to an existing contract between the district and its superintendent. And

Supporting asylum seekers

With Lightford push, Illinois moves to state-wide all-day K

Lightford (D- Maywood) praises new bill

With the help and support of Senate Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford (D-Maywood) House Bill 2396 successfully passed in the Illinois Senate and is on its way to bring all-day Kindergarten

to families across the state of Illinois.

“It’s on its way to the Governor,” Lightford said. “The Governor is pleased to sign it. He is making a really big push re garding early childhood education and the continuation through elementary school.”

When signed, the bill will take effect this upcoming school year and include a four- year phase-in, said Lightford.

The bill was filed by Rep. Mary Beth Canty on Feb. 14, 2023 and originally

had amended the school code concerning kindergarten requiring each school board establish full-day attendance for kindergarten beginning with the 202324 school year.

During the first amendment of the bill, the date for establishing a full day of classes was changed to the 2027-28 school year, to allow for school districts and the state to properly plan for the change and aid in the transition.

Through crafts, nonpro t honors fallen military and veterans

Help Heal Veterans held a vigil in Maywood ahead of Memorial Day

On May 19, veterans, their loved ones and civilians joined a community crafts event to honor service members and veterans fallen in battle or to suicide.

“For those of us who have served, Memorial Day is a sacred day, a time of remembrance and reflection, and a day to honor those who have paid the ultimate price,” Capt. Joe McClain, CEO of Help Heal Veterans, said in a press release.

For over 50 years, the nonprofit has helped veterans and active-duty military nationwide through free therapeutic craft kits and arts. Research shows that crafts help patients recovering from traumatic brain injury, PTSD, anxiety and depression. The knitting, jewelry and painting, among other crafts kits,

Throughout the day, 10 people joined in the craft making event, one of several held through Memorial Day across the nation, including two events in Texas and one in California organized by the nonprofit.

“Our hope in hosting #VigilforValor, now in its third year, is to give people the opportunity to connect with their community, while shining a light on the remarkable lives of their loved ones,” McClain said. With the hashtag #VigilForValor, the nonprofit invited community members to honor veterans by lighting a candle in honor of a fallen service member and posting their story and photo using the hashtag #VigilForValor.

In the Maywood Help Heal Veterans store, 615 W. Roosevelt Rd., 9 service members and one civilian crafted customized wooden candle holders to honor their

Rose Schmidt, program manager for Help Heal Veterans in Maywood, said among the honored were fathers, uncles and friends who served in the Navy, Marines and other military branches.

“They have done something special for our country so they shouldn’t be forgotten ever,” Schmidt said.

Through its Maywood store, Help Heal Veterans reaches approximately 300 veterans every month, who can select therapeutic craft kits to take home at no cost. The kits include everything they need to create crafts like wooden bird houses, jewelry boxes, shelves, sculptures, leather wristbands, wallets, handbags, jewelry and paintings. The store is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The nonprofit also invites veterans to attend monthly workshops where they can connect with other veterans.

“We have a huge variety of kits so everyone comes in and finds something they like to do,” Schmidt said. “We’d love to

‘Eager to work’, say asylum-seekers

Housed at West Side’s 15th District police station, South American asylum-seekers share stories

On a sunny and windy Monday evening, some 10 asylum-seekers, mostly from Venezuela, stood outside Chicago’s 15th district police station, 5701 W. Madison St. The Austin-based police station looked entirely different than it did a month ago, before hundreds of asylum-seekers arrived in Chicago on buses from Texas, joining about 8,000 people who have arrived in the city since the fall of 2022. As the city of Chicago’s shelters and respite centers are full, hundreds of migrants are temporarily sheltering at police stations across the city.

In the 15th district police station lobby, a group of asylum-seekers, mostly men, sleep on the floor in sleeping bags, blankets and comfor ters collected by volunteers who stepped in to help.

Outside the lobby, a few plastic tables hold aluminum trays with food, water bottles, fruit, coffee, cookies and other donations.

“Most of them arrived to the 15th district last night [May 21], from the 12th district,” Carlos, one of the Venezuelan asylumseekers told the Austin Weekly News in Spanish. To the side, stood a group of 7 asylum-seekers, mostly men. Some chatted among themselves, others walked back and for th on the sidewalk. As the evening went on, another asylum-seeker, Luis arrived from a nearby library. His wife, who sat on a bench outside the police station, said he went to print personal documents they needed for an immigration court appointment the next day. She is staying at another shelter but came to see her husband.

Carlos said he is part of a larger group that up until Monday was sheltered at the 15th district, which included women, one of them pregnant. Earlier that day, a medical team had come to the shelter to offer a general health check-up for all migrants, he said, though he could not identify the group. Later, a group came to pick up some asylum-seekers who were relocated to a shelter, though he did not know who led these ef forts.

Other asylum-seekers said “help” arrives multiple times a day in the form of local people who bring food, clothes, personal hygiene items, shoes, bags, towels, comfor ters and blankets, used phones and SIM cards. For the last two weeks, volunteers have brought hot meals 3 to 4 times a day, in addition to pantry items. Phones and SIM cards are important so asylumseekers can reach family members in their home countries or other countries where their families may have migrated to.

All of them are fleeing Venezuela to pursue economic stability and, in some cases, safety. While everyone’s story and journey to the United States is different, all asylumseekers this publication spoke to said they came because they are pursuing opportunity to provide a better life for them or their families.

“We are very thankful for all the help we have received,” Leonard, another Venezuelan asylum-seeker said in Spanish. “We have more than enough food and water, but we want to work.”

Other asylum-seekers echoed his statement.

“We are very grateful for the help we received,” Noel, an asylum-seeker said, as he looked around at the improvised shelter. “But this is not what we came here for.”

“We don’t want to be a burden to anyone, we don’t want to be a burden to the government or the people,” Leonard said. “And we want people to know that if a Venezuelan has done something ‘bad,’ they do not rep-

resent all of us.”

“Most of us [Venezuelans], and us here, we want to work,” he added. “We are eager to work, we want to do better.”

“I have never not worked for this long,” Julio added. He said he fled Venezuela as a young teenager, leaving some of his six siblings behind while others fled to neighboring countries like Colombia, including his mom.

Other asylum-seekers said they have families in Panama, Colombia and other South American countries that they have to provide for. A job would allow them to get back on their feet and be independent, they said. It appeared that all asylumseekers this publication spoke with were admitted into the United States as they wait to go through an often lengthy immigration process where the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services reviews their asylum petition. In many cases, asylum-seekers are yet to complete a series of steps, such as attending court dates, providing their biometrics, personal documents and proof that supports their asylum claims. In the process, they file for work authorization.

Luis, the asylum-seeker who walked to a nearby library, said transportation is also required. For his court appointment, a volunteer had of fered to pay for a rideshare service, but he and his wife would likely have to walk back to the 15th district police station, like most asylum-seekers do when they need to move around the city.

The immediate needs for food and clothing for asylum-seekers sheltered at the 15th district are being addressed by a group of local volunteers, mostly residents from Austin, Oak Park and Forest Park, though

people from all over the city are helping, volunteers told the Austin Weekly News.

The volunteer groups are all organized through group chats in the mobile app “WhatsApp,” in a grassroots network that involves people from all over the city and is known as the Police Station Response Team. There is one WhatsApp chat for each police station in the city where asylumseekers are taking shelter. As of Thursday, 73 volunteers participated in the response to the 15th district.

On Thursday, 15th police district Cmdr. Andre Parham, 25th police district officer Karina Vivas, representatives from Austin and city nonprofits and volunteers joined a meeting convened at Austin-based BUILD Chicago to coordinate ef for ts to assist asylum-seekers in the 15th and 25th districts. Among their concerns, all volunteers expressed the need for infrastructure and a system that ensures an equitable distribution of resources and wraparound services.

Both volunteers and asylum-seekers said the outpouring of help from Chicago residents and business owners has allowed them to have their food and clothing needs met.

“We have been so blessed that we can share our blessings, sometimes we share food with passerby people experiencing homelessness,” Carlos said, as he described the group they often see experiencing homelessness or people who use drugs walk by the police station on Madison Street.

While many have responded to the cry for help, there are also concerns for the asylum-seekers safety as there have been reports of people approaching the group to offer temporary shelter in exchange for labor at minimum to no pay, Parham said at the May 15 meeting. Opposition from locals is also a prevalent concern. Though it was not mentioned by the asylum-seekers or volunteers, Austin Weekly saw one woman who loudly expressed her disag reement with the help asylum-seekers have received as she walked by the police station the evening of May 20.

This publication repeatedly reached out to the Chicago Police Department to obtain further infor mation regarding the number of migrants sheltered at the station and how the law enforcement agency is working with the city to coordinate the response.

Advocates continue to push for trail path extensions

Local advocates, engineers and public o cials provide status on proposed extensions through region

Last Wednesday, the non-profit advocacy organization Active Transportation Alliance hosted a webinar to update residents and other interested parties on the status of several proposed extensions of the Des Plaines River Trails. If completed, these extensions would create a bike path that runs continuously to the Wisconsin border, connecting to the Salt Creek Trail and the Illinois Prairie Path, through some of Cook County’s most densely populated communities and key destinations.

Panelists shared proposals and progress on the projects that would eliminate gaps in the Des Plaines River Trail, including Mike Kerr, president of Christopher B. Burke Engineering and Lissa Sweeney, planner at Civiltech Engineering, the agency that has conducted several feasibility studies in the re gion.

The trails that would be connected are classified into three re gions – north, central and south. The northern trail is a 10mile segment of the Des Plaines Trail System from North Avenue to Touhy Avenue. The Forest Preserves of Cook County and Christopher Burke Engineering are currently working on several engineering

studies to improve existing paths, which tend to flood or have portions that expose bike riders to dangerous intersections.

For the central trail, a 2.5-mile trail needs to be built to fill in the gap between the Forest Park CTA Blue Line Station at Van Buren Street and 26th Street.

Cook County, Active Transportation Alliance, and Civiltech Engineering are wrapping up a study to identify potential trail alignments, with a final report expected to be released this summer. Sweeney presented four trail alignments and their corresponding evaluations that have been identified as potential solutions. Three of these propose the paths are built on the west side of the Des Plaines River, while one would be east. All options were evaluated using environmental, engineering and public criteria. While alignment #2 has the best overall score, all alignments are being presented, Sweeney said.

In the southern trail portion, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) led a 2019 planning study to find alternatives to build a path that connects the Des Plaines River Trail between W. 26th Street and Ogden Avenue.

Community advocate Ralph DiFebo said creating trails in these gaps is essential to bike riders’ safety and to increase bike

ridership, not only for recreational purposes, but as an alternative transportation method.

Emily Egan, community development director for the Village of Brookfield, said the village is very supportive of the project that would connect the trails and is navigating different challenges, including financial challenges. The community, as well as several studies, show the need to prioritize the bike trails at Washington and 31st St., she said. However, she is optimistic the project will be completed as she celebrated the construction of bike lanes on Washington Street is underway.

“We do have a path for success and we’re super optimistic about getting there,” she said.

We were asked to refer our questions to the mayor’s press office, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment as of this publication’s deadline.

As previously reported, earlier this month Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the state will continue to send migrants who arrive at the U.S-Mexico border to Chicago and other welcoming cities like Washington, D.C., New York and Philadelphia.

Thus, the situation is fluid and constantly changes, volunteers and Cmdr. Parham said during the May 25 meeting. If, as expected, hundreds of migrants continue to arrive, the response is likely to continue and potentially adapt to involve more coordination of city and state agencies and other nonprofits.

This is a developing story, for a detailed description of the grassroots led response read next week’s edition of this publication.

Lightford’s lead role

from page 1

According to the House Floor Amendment No. 1, districts must ensure classes are developmentally appropriate and provide play-based learning. A Full-Day Kindergarten Task Force will also be created to help conduct a statewide audit to collect and report specific criteria. During a following amendment, The Task Force will be required to issue an interim report by Nov. 15, 2024 and a final report to the General Assembly as well as the governor’s office by Jan. 31, 2025.

Additionally, the house bill also required that beginning with the 2027-28 school year, each district may establish a half-day attendance option for kindergarten. Accord-

dney Alexander asked who created the contract. Grant said her-

ing to Lightford, districts currently offering half-days will also need to implement a full-day option.

According to Lightford, a similar initiative was attempted a few years back but was met with hesitation from school districts which gave reasons as to why they could not provide all-day classes. This time around, the house bill allows for districts which meet certain criteria to be granted a two-year additional extension to begin full days. Lightford said there will be aid and assistance to get those districts on board.

“If a school district says we don’t have adequate space, we will help provide funding for construction,” Lightford said, adding more opportunities for help for districts will be available including assistance in teacher recruitment. “We are really working with school districts to try to put them on track [so that] at the end of four-years, across the state, over 800 school districts will have full-day kindergarten.”

The all-day option is a big win for stu-

self along with lliam Gleason, attorney with Hauser Izzo, LLC created the document, which Gleason said was vetted against his current contract, y, and code.

“You are being lynched,” said Patterson addressing Henderson. “You know how they used to do back in the day.”

Reactions from the audience in attendance were audible

“That is out of order,” said Grant.

“OK, that’s your opinion,” responded Patterson. “I am entitled to mind.”

Neither Patterson nor Henderson re-

dents, said Lightford.

“We know kindergarten is a pivotal year for young children and families, and we know it is their entry point in K-12, into the educational system,” Lightford said. “During that time, that is when a child’s most foundational skills are most developed.”

By allowing more time in the classroom, Lightford said children will be able to receive the attention and have the opportunity to learn more than they would during half-days. This also takes into consideration working families across the state of Illinois whose children are enrolled in all-day childcare programs. A shift from a full-day daycare to half-day required kindergarten does not make sense, Lightford suggested.

“I don’t know how you plan to have that kid ready by third grade if you suddenly drop from a full day to two or three hours,” Lightford said, adding a consistent all-day program will set children on a track to better literacy skills, attendance, and overall

sponded to requests for comment.

Additionally, board member Samuel Valtier re z expressed concern during the meeting re garding an item, which he said he was still confused on, but continued to say he has seen them done before. However, Valtier re z did not provide additional information during the meeting as to what those specific concerns were, simply that the board had already discussed them. Valtier re z voted in favor of the item. Valtierre z did not wish to provide comment to a Village Free Press question later

The item passed, with Patterson and Alexander opposing. Alexander did not respond to comment requests.

The next board meeting for the Proviso Township High School District 209 will be on Tuesday, May 30 at 7 p.m. at Proviso Math and Science Academy, 8601 Roosevelt Rd., Forest Park

an increased value in education. “I just think the younger they are and we focus on literacy, language skills, bilingual education and we do all these things in Kindergarten, we will have a smarter, stronger generation of future leaders.”

The move to have statewide all-day kindergarten allows families to be able to create stability and eliminate some issues surrounding childcare for the hours their children are out of school, said Lightford to Village Free Press.

“It is important that we create equal access to education on every level,” said Lightford in a press release. “This measure will ensure all families in Illinois are provided with the same opportunities for their children early on.”
