Maywood celebrates Northica Stone, keeper of local history

Village ceremony honors in uential leader during Juneteenth celebration

By ELIZABETH SHORT Contributing Reporter

On June 17, Maywood residents gathered to rename a street in memory of local leader Northica Hillery Stone, who died in 2018. The ceremony was held at the intersection of 5th and St. Charles Road, now known as Northica Hillery Stone Way, and was part of the village’s Juneteenth celebration.

Stone was the executive director of Operation Uplift, Inc., a nonprofit organization in Maywood founded by Stone’s husband, George E. Stone, in 1968. Operation Uplift offers job training and counseling. The organization was also responsible for implementing some of the first affirmative action programs in the area, including those at Jewel, Nicor, and IlSee LOCAL HISTORY on pa ge 5

Freedom School rings with history and advocac y

Broadview ’s summer program has Freedom Summer roots

By AMARIS E. RODRIGUEZ Staff Reporter

Lindop School District 92 has launched the “Broadview Freedom School” for the summer with the help of a state grant as

the state of Illinois creates the first statefunded Freedom Schools network.

The six-week summer program began June 1 and is modeled after Freedom Schools, which date back to the 1960s in Mississippi as part of the Freedom Summer civil rights project. The goal today is to educate students about social change.

In March 2022, the Illinois State Board of Education announced a $17 million grant to develop the first state-funded Freedom School network through the

Phillip Jackson Freedom Schools Grant. The goal of the Freedom School model is to provide research-based, multicultural curriculum during the summer to help improve outcomes for low-income students and students of color.

Janiece Jackson, Lindop’s superintendent, said the district noticed the proposal for bringing Freedom Schools into the public sector and decided the lessons

Austin activist chosen to ll Brandon Johnson

Forest Park Mayor Ror y Hoskins said he won’t run for seat in special election

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

The Democratic Party selection committee chose union activist and for mer Chicago aldermanic candidate Ta Stamps to succeed Brandon Johnson on the Cook County Board of Commissioners.

The meeting, held June 20 at The Carleton Hotel in Oak Park, 1110 Pleasant St., lasted a little over three hours, with about half of it involving interviews of the six finalists chosen from among applicants. According to the committee chair, Illinois Sen. President Don Harmon (D-39th), one candidate was eliminated quickly, but it took five rounds of voting before the committee ag reed to support Stamps. She was sworn in immediately and will serve until at least the end of 2024. If she wins the March 2024 Democratic primary and that year’s general election, Stamps will be able to serve out the remaining half of Johnson’s term.

Rory Hoskins, Forest Park’s mayor, was the only elected official to throw his hat in the ring. He said that, if selected, he would continue to serve as mayor, but would give up that office if he won the March 2024 primary. After Stamps was selected, Hoskins told this newspaper that he wished Stamps well, and that he won’t run ag ainst her in 2024.

The 1st District spans the city and the suburbs, including all of Austin, Oak Park, Forest Park, Maywood and Bellwood.

Stamps was born in Cabrini-Green. A daughter of civil rights activist Marion Stamps, she told the committee that taking part in protests was a formative part of her upbringing. Stamps became a Chicago Public Schools language arts teacher in 1996, and, aside from taking two years of f to raise her kids, she continued teaching until 2018. Stamps told the committee that she was a “mentor-teacher”

to Johnson while he was attending what was then known as the Jenner Elementary Academy of the Arts. She currently works as administrator for new teacher development at the Chicago Teachers Union.

As an adult, Stamps became an activist in her own right. She ran against Austin Ald. Emma Mitts (37th) in 2015 and 2019.

When a Cook County board seat becomes vacant, the committee made up of ward and township committeepersons from their political party get to choose the successor. Each committeeperson’s vote was worth the equivalent of the number of votes Johnson got in their ward or township during the 2022 election. Harmon, who serves as the Oak Park Township committeeperson, and County Clerk Karen Yarbrough, the Proviso Township committeeperson, collectively held 58.72% of the vote. On the city side, 2nd Ward Committeeperson Tim Egan and Alds. Walter Burnett (27th), Jason Ervin (28th), Chris Taliafer ro (29th), Scott Waguespack (32nd) and Mitts attended the committee meeting. Ald. Daniel LaSpata (1st) and 26th Ward Committeeperson Angee Gonzalez Rodriguez were absent, but they gave Harmon their proxies.

During the meeting, Mitts said she supported Stamps’ candidacy, and Stamps said she supported Mitts in return.

“Solidarity is our own superpower,”

Stamps told Mitts. “I’m here to be in lockstep with you to create a better, stronger, re-elected to his second r this April. He had previrest Park village commissioner. He ran unsuccessfully for the ral years ago. During the committee interview, Hoskins said worker in the 1990s, ing with organizations in Humboldt and Austin. Hoskins said he decided at the urging of his constituents sometime in mid-May, and that he filed the application on the May 30 deadline.

Aside from Stamps and Hoskins, the finalists included Rev. Ira J. Acree, co-chair of the Leaders Network, a faith-based West Side social justice group and pastor of Greater St. John Bible Church; for mer 29th Ward aldermanic candidate and Cook County president candidate Zerlina Smith-Members, Managing Deputy Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation Tommie Johnson and activist Claiborne Wade, who is originally from Austin but moved to Forest Park two years ago.

The Foxboro Room was packed with supporters for all candidates, the majority of whom came from the West Side. Acree, Smith-Members and Stamps got particularly loud applause. The candidates were interviewed one at a time. All were asked whether they felt they would be able to raise the money for their election campaign if they were selected and whether they would run against the selected candidate if they weren’ t.

Johnson, Stamps and Smith-Members said that, if they weren’ t selected, they would run for the seat, while Wade said that he was so confident in his chances that he wouldn’t even consider what happens if he wasn’t chosen.

“I’m absolutely going to run, because I’m uniquely qualified to continue the progressive measures that [Brandon Johnson pushed for] in the commissioner seat,” Stamps said.

She said she was able to raise nearly $250,000 during her previous campaigns

Metra mulls reducing fare zones, getting rid of system-wide passes and 10-ride tickets

Changes would reduce ticket prices for Maywood, Bellwood riders

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

Metra is proposing the most significant fare overhaul in decades – one that would reduce ticket prices for Bellwood and Maywood commuters and get rid of popular system-wide day and monthly passes.

Under the proposed fare changes, which the Metra Board of Directors will vote on in August, the commuter rail system would go from 10 fare zones to four and create a flat $3.75 fare for riders who whose trip

taught would be in their student’s best interest.

“We wanted to teach our children to be civically engaged and how to create policy based upon people who have been marginalized and have had huge disparities and gaps in equity,” Jackson said. “We also were able to have a strong foundation in the literary portion of this which goes across the curriculum for literacy.”

On June 4 the district announced it had launched “Broadview Freedom School” and received a $350,000 grant from the Illinois State Board of Education. The summer school model was announced during a town hall for the Village of Broadview on May 16.

Currently, the Broadview Freedom School is teaching 40 Lindop students between the fifth and eighth grade who need a little more help, especially in English Language Ar ts.

Holding on to the goal of the original Freedom Schools, Jackson said it was important to teach students about advocacy

“Teaching them that there are certain systems that have been built, they have

doesn’t begin or end at Union Station and other downtown terminals. Metra would eliminate its $10 system-wide day pass and $6 day pass, replacing them with a zonebased one-day pass that would cost the equivalent of two one-way tickets. The 10Ride tickets, which allow riders to make 10 one-way trips for a price of nine, would be replaced with a Ventra-only “Bundle” of five day passes that would cost the equivalent of 9.5 one-way tickets.

Most notably, it would replace the $100

been sustained and not necessarily how to go back and change what has been done in the past but how to know how to advocate for yourself and those who might be impacted by disparities and being marginalized in equity,” Jackson said.

To start a student’s day on the right foot, Jackson said they start every morning with self-affirmations.

“They are getting out everything that might have happened, the not so good,” Jackson said. “This is the time to get it out and let them know they inhale good things and exhale out all of the bad things.”

system-wide monthly pass with fare zone based monthly passes that would cost the equivalent of 16 one-way tickets.

All those changes would represent a price decrease for Maywood, Melrose Park, Bellwood and Berkeley riders. The price of one-way tickets to and from the Ogilvie Transportation Center would go down from $5.50 to $3.75, and the cost of traveling to River Forest and Oak Park stations would drop from $4.25 to $3.75. The monthly pass would cost $75.

The changes come as Metra is facing a fiscal clif f as federal stimulus funds are expected to run out in 2026. The proposal tries to strike a balance between attracting more riders, especially those who don’t follow traditional suburb-to-downtown commuting patterns, while putting more

“We wanted to make sure it was nice and well received and that the children enjoyed it but to have teachers saying how can we implement this in the school year, it is more than we imagined. But everything we hoped for.”

JANIECE JACKSON Superintendent Lindop School

While Jackson said it was a “tough sell” to students at the beginning as the program runs longer than traditional summer school, now after a few weeks of attendance, student participation and approval has been positive and many are sharing their experiences with their friends, said Jackson.

Proudly, Jackson said as teachers have witnessed the positive experiences being cultivated for students during these weeks, many have asked if this model could be implemented throughout the year.

“It’s an amazing caveat to this entire program that we are having,” Jackson said.

According to a press release from the state board of education, low-income students were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and experienced rates of chronic absenteeism at 50 percent higher than the Illinois average. Additionally, the number of students who met or exceeded standards in math or English dropped by twice the state average. By incorporating Freedom Schools, Governor J.B. Pritzker hopes to provide opportunities for improvements.

“This is just one aspect of our multifaceted approach to renewing our student’s learning experience and getting them back on track after the pandemic’s disruptions,” said Pritzker. “I’m also proud that we’re doing so with a keen eye for our low-income communities, which have been hit the hardest by the learning loss of these past two years.”

Senate Majority Leader Kimberly A. Lightford (Maywood) said in the press release that Freedom Schools have a long history and significance to the African Ameri-

money in Metra’s coffers.

Last year, Metra proposed eliminating unlimited monthly passes and day passes, but backed down after opposition from the Metra directors representing the collar counties and some parts of suburban Cook County. The changes would have raised fares for the collar counties, and the directors argued that Metra shouldn’t get rid of popular monthly passes and should instead simplify the fare structure. This year’s changes would result in less drastic increases for the collar counties and address some of the directors’ earlier concerns.

Metra is currently soliciting feedback on its fare proposal. For more details, and to submit comments, visit metra. com/2024FarePlan

can community.

“These schools represent a long tradition of engaged citizenshi p, personal empowerment, and academic excellence. I know this experience will have a positive impact on students, their families, and the whole community.”

According to the press release, the renowned curriculum of Freedom Schools allows students to experience new for ms of education that relate to their lives and their communities

“Freedom Schools around the country continue to demonstrate the intergenerational effects and proven benefits of civic engagement by providing students with instruction that fosters confidence, critical thinking, and social-emotional development,” read the press release.

With the help of the grant from the state, along with a partnership between the district, the Village of Broadview, Proviso Township Youth Services, and Michael Romain, founder of Village Free Press, amongst others, the Broadview Freedom School was established for this summer.

Soup and Bread fundraisers raise money for West Side, west suburban food pantries

Fundraisers held monthly at Forest Park’s Exit Strategy Brewing

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

For Katherine Valleau, a for mer teacher and Forest Park School District 91 board member, and current co-owner of Exit Strategy Brewing, helping to reduce hunger and food insecurity is deeply personal.

“I feel very strongly about food stuf f,” she said. “I taught here in town, and, like, seeing a 10-year-old coming in hungry, it would just wreck you.”

Social responsibility, Valleau said, was always an important part of Exit Strateg y’s ethos. And when she was asked if she would be interested in hosting Soup and Bread fundraisers, which raise money for local food pantries by offering all-you-caneat, home-cooked soups, Valleau embraced it with gusto.

The fundraisers kicked of f in March, and they have been held every third Tuesday of the month from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. So far, they’ve raised funds for Oak Park’s Beyond Hunger food pantry, 848 Lake St., Forest Park’s Mohr Community Center food pantry, 7640 Jackson Blvd., Elmwood Park Community Food Pantry, 2334 N. 75th Ave., and North Lawndale’s Stone Temple Baptist Church, 3622 W. Douglas Blvd. The July 18 event will raise money for the Westchester Food Pantry, 1938 S. Mannheim Rd.

The August event will raise money for the Food Aid Festival, which will take place on Aug. 27 at Oak Park’s Scoville Park, Lake Street and Oak Park Avenue. Beyond that, Valleau said Soup and Bread Forest Park will continue to look for opportunities to raise money for pantries on the West Side and west suburbs. After all, food insecurity exists everywhere, and opportunities to help abound.

Soup and Bread launched in Chicago in 2009 amid the Great Recession. Chefs, caterers, and home cooks were invited to donate soups and bread that could be shared in a communal meal. For a donation, participants could eat as much as they wanted,

and the proceeds went to Chicago food pantries.

The original Soup and Bread events were held at Chicago’s Hideout bar, and they have since expanded to other parts of Illinois and across the country. Forest Park had its first Soup and Bread fundraiser in 2013.

Ironically, the COVID-19 pandemic, which worsened food insecurity, also put a damper on the events – there was simply no way to hold them amid lockdowns, masking and social distancing.

Last winter, with the pandemic receding, a group of west suburbanites started talking about bringing it back. Valleau said that Brad Knaub, co-owner of Carnivore Oak Park, 1042 Pleasant St., approached suggested Park food pantry for April.

“We started with Beyond Hunger, for our first month. We raised $1,300,” she said. “It just went into a giant wad of cash for Beyond Hunger, and they were able to use it for hundreds and hundreds of meals. Next month, we did the Forest Park food pantry. We raised another $1,300. They were able to buy all the shelf stable products.”

Valleau said each fundraiser has an average of “8 to 14 soup makers set up a buffet of all kinds of soups.” They get

“I think our highest count has been 90 to 100 people,” she said. “We always clean out the soup. We don’t have leftover soup, it’s always gone. It’s wonderful, we want that.”

In addition to the monthly fundraisers, Soup and Bread Forest Park did a fundraiser on May 16 for asylum-seekers who have been arriving in Chicago from Central and South American countries. This was a supply drive since many of the refugees came with little more than the clothes on their backs.

“That whole shuf fleboard table,” Valleau gestured to her left, “it was full of donations for the refugees coming into the police stations, coming into the area. There were toiletries and diapers and feminine products. Someone brought a suitcase and the inside of it was full of socks and underwear. If you’re in an unsafe situation, you’re not sticking around to pack. And it took multiple trips, 2 to 3… it ended up going to different churches after police stations guided us to take it [there].”

She said the organizers will sit down and figure out what to fundraise for next. Valleau would like to keep hosting the fundraisers at least through the end of the year, and hopefully beyond. After all, she doesn’t expect the need to go away any time soon.

“The idea that oh, this is only a big city problem, or in this pocket of the city -- absolutely not,” Valleau said. “Food insecurity exists all around us, anywhere. You’re not going to find a community that doesn’t have a need. Every community has a need. And we cannot wear blinders to that. We cannot be so naive as to think that we live in X zip code and therefore we cannot have that ‘problem.’”

In 1995, Mrs. Stone founded the West Town Museum of Cultural History as a part of Operation Uplift. The museum works as an archive to preserve local history.

Maywood Mayor Nathaniel George Booker said he often visited the museum as a child. “Think of walking through your great-great grandparents’ house and seeing that somebody has kept every generation’s best moments,” said Booker, flecting on these visits. “You are walking through a shrine of history that you are proud to be a pa makes you feel empo more you’

Gr Booker knew Stone as the woman who ran the museum. “She was that person who wanted you to be proud of your culture. … but also knowledgeable and aware of where you came from and what needs to happen next,” he said.

Stone never sought any reco gnition or fame, said Booker. Rather, her service was driven by her love for the community and its history. “It was because she genuinely cared,” he said.

The impact of Stone’s life is larger than the museum, Operation Uplift, or any of the other social service or historical projects she devoted herself to during her 85 years. “Any person that’s doing something positive in the Village of Maywood has a story that will lead you back to Operation Uplift or something that Ms. Northica Stone did or said,” Booker said.

During the ceremony on June 17, the first Black woman to be Illinois Senate Majority Leader, Maywood’s Kimberly A. Lightford, spoke on Stone’s impact: “She made me feel comfortable about the future,

but she also gave me a responsibility and a challenge to do all that I could to make sure that this community prospered,” said Lightford during the ceremony.

Later in the speech, Lightford described her initial reaction to the West Town Museum of Cultural History. “The first day I remember walking in there, I said ‘I’m gonna get myself on that wall one day,’” said Lightford.

According to Booker, Emmanuel “Chris” Welch, the current 7th District state rep and the Illinois House Speaker – the first African American to hold this position –was also influenced by Stone and her work as a community archivist. When Welch and Lightford won their respective elections, Stone made sure to collect and preserve their yard signs.

“She was the collector of histoVillage of Maywood,” said Booker.

The decision to create an honorary street name Stone was a “no-brainer,” said Booker. In November, village council voted unanimously to rename the street in her honor. “There are so many times that we celebrate things after somebody’s passed (but) we should have done this while they were still here because they would have really enjoyed this. Last Saturday (the dedication ceremony) was one of those moments.”

Booker said the council is also looking into putting a stone press under the street sign for passersby to learn about her legacy.

On July 15, the village will hold another dedication ceremony to honor the late Eugene “Gene” Moore, another influential Maywood leader. Moore served as a member of the Illinois House of Representatives (the first Black representative of Illinois’s 7th district) and the Cook County recorder of deeds.

The West Town Museum of Cultural History still exists today and is located at 104 S. 5th Ave. (honorary Northica Hillery Stone Way) in Maywood.

GreenTown is growing

The GreenTown Climate and Equity conference held June 20 at Triton Colle ge in River Grove featured many voices including those of near west suburban mayors who joined together a year ago to create the Cross-Community Climate Collaborative (C4). It is an ef fort to share resources and climate solutions across communities stretching from Oak Park to Broadview to Riverside and LaGrange Park.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors used the gathering to reco gnize the shared work of Village President Vicki Scaman of

Oak Park, Mayor Katrina Thompson of Broadview and Village President Cathy Adduci of River Forest.

So far, C4 has received grants from the Mayors Conference for work on childhood obesity and environmental health. A $500,000 state grant, secured by State Rep. Camille Lilly, was recently received by C4.

Also speaking at the ceremony were Gary Cuneen, president of Seven Generations Ahead, and State Senate President Don Harmon.

and she expects to be able to surpass that.

“I’m happy to call on the support of the mayor and labor, so that we have a competitive race” Stamps said, adding that she was confident that they’d come through.

Hoskins said that he got “funding commitments” since he expressed interest in the position to raise the necessary funds. He said that, if he wasn’t selected, he would support the appointee in the election.

All finalists were asked how they would balance the interests of Chicago and suburban portions of the district. Stamps said that she was no stranger to the suburbs, saying she volunteered at Proviso Township and spoke at Oak Park’s 19th Century Club. She said she sees herself as “bridgebuilder” and she would bring it to all parts of the district.

Hoskins reiterated his experience on the West Side and said he would be willing to listen and learn.

“If appointed, I look forward to working with you and other [elected officials] to see

where I can be helpful,” he said.

The finalists were asked to describe their two major priorities if selected. Stamps said she would prioritize public safety – something that, based on her experience growing up in Cabrini-Green, required investment in programs. She also wanted to work toward expanding affordable housing in the city and the suburbs, something that, she believed, was especially important for seniors struggling to pay their bills

Hoskins had similar priorities, saying that he would focus on expanding social services, especially when it comes to assisting homeless residents. He would also prioritize economic development, saying that, while Chicago and larger home rule municipalities get federal funding directly, smaller municipalities like Forest Park and Maywood get their funding through the county-driven process. He wanted to make sure the economic developments interests of such communities don’t get overlooked

“I noted the absence of other suburban mayors seeking appointment, I decided to explore seeking the appointment,” Hoskins said.

Harmon said that, while there is precedent for county commissioners holding other offices at the same time, “I think that practice is going out of favor” and asked Hoskins if

he would step down as mayor if selected, whether it was now or “right after the primary election.” Hoskins confirmed that he would, and said that he didn’t believe he would have trouble balancing the duties of two offices in the meantime,

“We have a very able village staff in Forest Park,” he said. “[Being a mayor] is essentially a part-time position. I don’t have to be hands on.”

Harmon also quizzed Stamps on her support for a commuter tax during her 2019 campaign. Stamps said she would keep an open mind

“I’m prepared to analyze what’s in the best interest of our constituents,” she said, adding that, as a for mer teacher, she appreciated the importance of growing and lear ning.

After the interviews, the committee went into executive session, which lasted around 90 minutes. The staff had all the finalists lined up. As Harmon announced Stamps’ selection, a significant part of the remaining crowd erupted in cheers.

When asked what might have put her over the top, Stamps told reporters that it was her record as a “servant leader” and the service to the community.

Mitts told this newspaper that she was happy for her one-time opponent.

“Instead of getting the [aldermanic] seat,

there’s another opportunity for her to get another seat, so everybody is happy,” she said. “We need unity in the community, and we need to fight together for the opportunities.”
