VOICE aims to run village trustee candidates New group calls for transparency, responsible development, lower taxes

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

A new political group calling itself VOICE of Oak Park (Voice, Openness, Inclusion, Community and Environment) has formed, and its members say they plan to run a slate of candidates in the April 2019 municipal election.

That election will decide three Oak Park village trustee seats, currently held by Bob Tucker, Andrea Button and James Taglia.

Oak Park resident Joshua Klayman, professor emeritus of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, said the group held its first public meeting earlier this month, where residents voiced their concerns about the increasing tax burden on residents, transparency in village government, and responsible development.

“Affordability and diversity in Oak Park is another important issue, and we’re also very interested in environmental issues in the village,” Klayman said in a telephone interview.

The group’s stated goals include: restoring democracy in village government; making Oak Park affordable for residents; building a better village, “not just a bigger one”; creating economic diversity; and proSee VOICE on page 13

Fresh texts at OPRF for a new age Teachers’ reading lists show shifting mindset on cultural issues

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

What’s going through the minds of English and history teachers at Oak Park and River Forest High School when it comes to the great race and gender debates currently roiling popular culture?

A list of books up for final approval

by the D200 school board at its May 24 regular meeting could be a significant indication.

Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet (Vol. 1), the first comic book by TaNehisi Coates (author of the best-selling Between the World and Me) and Born A Crime, the by many accounts hilarious autobiographical comedy by South African comedian and Daily Show host

Trevor Noah, were both recommended in the English Division.

So was The Hate U Give, a young adult novel by African-American author Angie Thomas, which revolves around a 16-year-old’s decision to become an activist after witnessing police shoot and kill her unarmed friend.

The 93rd (!) Memorial Day Parade It’s that time of year again: Almost summer.

River Forest will celebrate its 93rd Annual Memorial Day Parade at 9:30 a.m. on May 28 at Constitution Park, 7715 Greenfield St. The River Forest Service Club, the parks foundation, park district and village hall are throwing the annual event for residents.

Sponsors include MB Financial Bank, Novick Orthodontics, Pan American Bank and Trust, and your very own Wednesday Journal.

This year’s Grand Marshal is Lt. JG Robert F. Berg, who actively served in the United States Navy from 1961 to 1969. During that time he was an atomic weapons production control officer, where he oversaw inventory control, inspection and verification of atomic weapons, and later became a chemical biological radiological officer, where he trained staff on how to protect them-

selves if a chemical attack occurred. Of course, he had a “top secret” security clearing.

Other highlights include performances by the marching bands of Proviso West High School and Oak Park and River Forest High School; the SM6 family band; the Chicago-based Pack Drumline and Dance Crew leadership program; and much more. Fourteen active veterans will be honored, and four reserve veterans will be recognized during the ceremony. Village President Cathy Adduci and Park District President Ross Roloff will be among those giving speeches.

The parade travels from Constitution Park, south on Ashland Avenue to Lake Street and then west to Keystone Park, where it finishes with a community picnic for all, which includes the longstanding free hotdog lunch.

Demolition of the two-story former Lytton department store building at the corner of Lake and Forest continued this week. The building, most recently used for ground-level retail and second-story office space, is being torn down to make room for the 18-story luxury apartment building by Albion Development.

Oak Park to Nazis: No

It’s been about a week and a half since white supremacist flyers began appearing around downtown Oak Park, and now at least one opposition flyer has appeared near the main branch of the Oak Park Public Library.

The flyer that appeared sometime over the weekend reads: “Always stand up to Nazi trash” and depicts a figure throwing a swastika into a trash bin. Below the icon are the words: “Hate has no home here.”

The flyer was placed in a plastic covering to protect it from the rain. It was first discovered by a Wednesday Journal employee on Sunday and had not been removed as of Monday, May 21.

The flyer is likely a response to the anti-immigration flyers that appeared

Sinclair. Chicago ran through their veins as the Austin neighborhood runs through mine.

My hope is A Place Called Schugara causes readers to see with new eyes. My intention was to present well-written words with meat on their bones. In Schugara, the power of love teaches redemption. Where and how do we find human decency and will it prevail? Goodness confronts evil while, at the same time, dignity and worth are found where we least expect.

It is the writer’s duty to craft the right words, but it is impossible for me to express sufficient gratitude to Bobbie Raymond, first among equals in the Citizens Republic of Oak Park. She devoted her incisive mind and critical eye to the editing of this book, investing, as she has done for Oak Park her entire life, her whole self. In the words of Zero Washington Roosevelt Lincoln, caretaker of The Yellow Harp bookstore in A Place Called Schugara, Bobbie Raymond is “ace boon coon.”

I was an English professor at Triton College for 16 years. For many years I ran my own real estate company, Oak Park Real Estate, at 48 W. Lake St. in Oak Park, providing decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing to families in Oak Park and Austin. In Schugara’s final stages of formatting, the expertise and insight of Richard Jung of Minuteman Press, Oak Park, were invaluable.

have lived in Austin since my late 20s, when I witnessed firsthand the panic of white flight, 1970-71. In my 30s, I heard with horror Ronald Reagan denounce food stamps — “they” were using food stamps to buy vodka. The times, they were a-changin’.

Previously, there had been a national resolve to end poverty; political disagreements had to do with ways and means, not the end itself. Suddenly, it became acceptable and respectable to victimize the poor.

Why were Americans so afraid?

In my 40s, I began wondering what it would be like to simply disappear — to leave it all behind and start anew. A character formed in my mind, an American businessman who doesn’t just dream of escaping but actually does.

JOE ENGLISH As Travers LandeAuthor man came into being in my mind’s eye, I discovered the Caribbean, where family and sharing remain of paramount value. Thus, A Place Called Schugara came to life, growing into a tapestry of stories that melded my newfound love of the Caribbean with one’s longing to escape.

Schugara wonders: Are we destined to follow a predetermined path or are we free to make our own way? What is our duty in the face of evil?

Its stories show that what is taken for granted should never be taken for granted. At its conclusion, one of its characters declares that sometimes it is better to leave matters of justice and duty to God. Marguerite, Schugara’s soul of grit and suffering, disagrees, “If we leave God’s work to God, it will never get done. It won’t even get started.”

Much out of fashion today, authorial intrusion is disparaged; what worked for Henry Fielding and Charles Dickens is seen as ill-suited for our times. With A Place Called Schugara, I reintroduce the editorial novel.

As the author, I step into the story to comment, “The police powers of the State are always to be feared. History is replete with fugitive slave laws and Nuremberg decrees, laws against witches and laws against homosexuals. Laws may ensure liberty, but they may also enshrine tyranny.”

It is gratifying that so many readers have found these authorial intrusions one of the book’s strengths, especially readers who gravitate toward nonfiction. This author is indebted as well to naturalistic writers like Theodore Dreiser, Frank Norris and Upton

Worst development ever

ast week the Journal reported on plans to build an affordable-apartment, mixed-use retail project on the vacant lot at Oak Park Avenue and Van Buren Street.

That vacant parcel is best known for being vacant. And all gravelly. Mid-termers might recall the contretemps between the consignment furniture store next door and the bank that owns the lot over whether it was OK to park there when you picked up your bargain bar stools. When the bank put a fence up, that issue was made clearer. Old-timers will remember it as the Amoco station you never went to. If you’re really old, it was the Standard station you never went to.

So here’s my “Oak Park’s Not Open for Business” challenge to all my grumpy readers. Because, personally, I think this will be “the worst development ever in Oak Park history ever.”

What do I (and you) hate about this project?

The Community Builders Inc. website, is filled with handsome projects of all kinds. And all over the place, too. New construction. Rehabs. Urban. Suburban.

Mixed use. Recreational. But even though it appears to be run by do-gooders, I’m sure these developers have an angle.

The 37 apartment rentals are a mix of studios, one-bedroom and a couple of twobedroom units. The first floor will have some retail. Good luck with that. Didn’t you hear retail is dead?! There will also be live/work units on the ground floor.

Sounds like socialism, living and working in the same place.

These are affordable units, the developer claims. However they define “affordable,” it can’t be right. They say the rents are for working people in Oak Park.

Minimum wage and up. I say affordable is for cops and teachers who make $60K. Any other definition is wrong.

Our initial story did not spell out how much parking was being provided. So I assume there will be no parking whatsoever. Can you believe that? Not a single spot. The village government screws it

up again. A new development with no parking.

Have you ever tried to park in the Southtown district?

Complete nightmare. There have been times when I could not park in front of Avenue Ale House. Had to walk across that busy street and park in the village lot behind the bank. Oh, the humanity.

And being built by do-gooders it must mean the parcel is coming off the tax rolls. More taxes for everyone else to pay.

Sure, they say it won’t come off the tax rolls. But who are you going to believe?

There’s a community meeting with the developers next Tuesday at the Maze Library. Bet they’ll get an earful.

Hinsdale redeems itself: On March 29 I trekked all the way out to affluent Hinsdale to have lunch with some associates in the newspaper business. I parked at a meter in the downtown district at noon.

On my return some 90 minutes later I saw a ticket on my windshield. “Don’t worry,” said my newspaper industry colleague, “it will be a courtesy ticket.” And so it appeared to be. He said the police run license plate numbers and if you are not a regular Hinsdale visitor/violator they give you a friendly warning ticket.

I got in my car, hummed a happy tune and returned to Oak Park.

Imagine then my shock and horror when on May 1, I received my “First Late Notice” from Hinsdale urgently requesting $25. I promptly wrote and said I had received a “Courtesy Ticket.”

They promptly wrote back and said I had received a “Courtesy Ticket” at 12:34 and a “Pay Your Damned Ticket” at 1:16, some 42 minutes later.

I protested. “What’s the point of the generosity to a new visitor if you rescind it in 42 minutes?” I wrote. Lo and behold I persuaded them. “Citation will be voided, based on the circumstances presented,” said the missive received Saturday.

In the age of municipal red-light ticket robberies, a rare and satisfying victory.

Thank you, Hinsdale.

Fenwick seniors celebrate admission to U.S. Naval Academy

By NONA TEPPER Staff Reporter

At least two Fenwick High School seniors will trade the school’s black and white colors for the Navy’s crisp blue and gold uniforms, when they enter the U.S. Naval Academy next fall in Annapolis, Maryland.

After a nearly year-long application process, Brooke West and Casey McCormick have been accepted into the Naval Academy in fall 2018, which accepts about 9 percent of those who apply. U.S. News & World Report ranked the Naval Academy #2 in the magazine’s 2018 “Top Public Schools” list.

West said she heard about the academy her sophomore year, when a mentor on Fenwick’s swim team applied and was accepted. She was just starting her college process at the time and didn’t really know what she wanted to do.

“I wanted to help people but didn’t know how; I thought about maybe being a doctor,” she said. West contacted the Naval Academy’s swim coaches, toured its Chesapeake Bay campus, and fell in love.

She started her application around April 2017 and finished the essays, and submitted her academic information, state test scores, teacher recommendations and nomination from a government representative that October. She also applied to four other “safety” schools, just in case.

On Halloween night, a big envelope arrived at her parents’ River Forest home. West read her letter of assurance in the kitchen. She has since told the academy’s swim coach she will swim on his Division 1 team.

“I was really overwhelmed,” she recalled. “It’s not just my success, it’s my coaches’ success, my family’s success. I’m just grateful to everybody who put me in this place and gave

CADETS: Fenwick seniors Brooke West, left, and Casey McCormick were accepted to the Naval Academy. me this opportunity.”

West attributes her acceptance to her swimming skills along with her high grades and community involvement. She is an English tutor at The Write Place at Fenwick, competes on the school’s math and science team, and, outside of school, serves on the Oak Park-River Forest Youth Board.

“Service has always been a big part of my life, but I’ve never served my country. I’m only 17,” she said. “Going forward, I’m representing a country I owe so much to and I love so much. It’s an opportunity to simultaneously help people domestically and overseas.”

Growing up, Casey McCormick said he always wanted to join the military. He started his application in January 2017

and, a year later on Jan. 23, found out he was admitted.

“I was in math class and we just happened to finish early and I was on my phone and I got an email saying my admissions status is changed,” he said. “I thought, ‘Oh my god, I got denied this early!’ But then I got in. I had to reread it and asked the girl in front of me, ‘Does this say I got in?’ It was crazy, I couldn’t believe it.

“I pretty much skipped the whole next class and called everyone I’ve ever met, my whole family,” he said.

McCormick wants to eventually become an explosive ordnance disposal technician, which means he will travel to some of the most dangerous parts of the world and disable bombs.

“You’re literally dealing with explosives in the middle of the road, so if you mess up, you’re done and everyone around you is probably done,” he said. “I feel like you have to be a certain type of person and I think I have the right personality to go through it. You have to be able to think in tight situations.

It’s probably the most exhilarating job you could ever have.”

He points to his experiences as a goalie on the Fenwick hockey team as qualifications, where he successfully defended the net against some of their fiercest rivals, including Glenbrook North, during the state playoffs in February.

Fenwick lost, but only 1-0. Normally, he said, the Spartans smoke the Friars by at least six.

“In my academy interview I compared being an explosive ordnance tech to playing goalie because if you’re not prepared enough for the game, you’re going to lose.”

He credits his admission to his sports skills, high grades and community involvement. McCormick is leader of the Fenwick Medical Club, treasurer of the Best Buddies Club, and is involved in the school’s investment club. “Less than 40 days until I leave,” he said.

Oak Park Village Board OKs BYOB in restaurants

Trustees vote against extending new ordinance to retail

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

Oak Park restaurants that do not currently have a liquor license can now allow patrons to bring their own beer and wine under an ordinance approved, following a heated debate, by the Oak Park Board of Trustees.

In order for restaurants to get a BYOB license, they must pay a $500 fee to the village, send its employees through a state-certified alcohol server training program and get liability insurance. Those businesses can only allow BYOB between the hours of noon and 11 p.m.

The decision came at the recommendation of the Oak Park Liquor Control Review Board. Trustee Andrea Button, liaison to the liquor board, said the ordinance “levels the playing field between those establishments that don’t have a liquor license and liquor license holders that are required to

pay money to have alcohol in their establishments.”

She said the fee would help offset the cost of “public safety” enforcement that results from allowing alcoholic beverage consumption in more establishments.

Trustees Deno Andrews and Simone Boutet were the two dissenting votes against the proposal.

Andrews pointed out that there is currently no ordinance or law prohibiting BYOB in restaurants in Oak Park, adding that creating a license and requiring restaurants to get insurance to serve is an undue burden on business owners.

“I think this is a somewhat well-thought-out solution that doesn’t have a problem,” Andrews said. “I’m not aware of any BYO issues that have come up in the village in recent times.”

Andrews called the proposal an “over-

reach of government” saying, “We’re going to make something legal that’s already legal, but now we’re going to charge you money for something that you’re already paying for, which is a business license, so if a restaurant can allow people to BYOB, which I think legally they can, now we’re going to charge them $500 more and give them all sorts of stipulations.”

Boutet agreed, saying restaurants like Grape Leaves, 129 S. Oak Park Ave., has allowed BYOB without any problems. “And right now we’re basically going to be imposing restrictions on them that we haven’t really had a problem with,” she said.

She noted that the $500 fee also is higher than other communities like Deerfield and Mount Prospect, where the fees are $200 and $250, respectively.

Trustee James Taglia argued that the village would lose some tax revenue if patrons

decide to dine at BYOB restaurants over those with liquor licenses. “We are losing revenue in allowing this to happen because we get 3 percent on the sales, and if people are bringing it in, we’re not getting that,” he said.

Andrews said the fee should be lowered to somewhere between $75 and $100.

“It’s a money grab to me,” he said. “We have no evidence to suggest that we’re going to lose money; we have no evidence to suggest that this is a problem.”

Trustees voted against a similar proposal that would have allowed retail businesses, such as nail salons, to allow patrons to bring their own beer and wine.

They also declined to include businesses like the Nineteenth Century Club from obtaining a BYOB license.

Nineteenth Century Club Executive Director Jeanne Schultz Angel asked trustees to include organizations like hers because those who rent the venue often inquire about bringing their own beer and wine to events to save on cost.

“We need an even playing field for venues across the village,” she said.

unreasonable.”

Village Manager Cara Pavlicek said the overnight permit parking spots can fill up quickly when parkers “cluster” around certain areas. A handful of bad parking jobs, illegal parkers and those with guests can fill up the designated street parking zones quickly, she said.

The District 97 Board of Education and the Oak Park Teachers’ Association (OPTA) announced that they’ve reached a tentative agreement on a new teacher contract, according to joint statement D97 officials released on May 21.

The two sides said that over the past six months they’ve “discussed and agreed on terms on a number of critical issues,” including: evaluations, sick leave, sick bank, school day work day, National Board Certification and stipends.

“Thanks to the tireless efforts of our negotiating teams, we believe we have produced a contract that honors the hard work of our remarkable teaching staff and will help foster their continued success; will aid in the advancement of our vision for the district; underscores our collective commitment to fiscal stewardship; and, most importantly, will enable us to meet the needs of the more than 6,000 students we are proud to serve on a daily basis,” officials said in the statement.

The OPTA is scheduled to discuss the tentative agreement with its members on May 29 and a vote on the contract’s ratification is scheduled for May 30. If the union ratifies the agreement, the D97 school board will vote on whether or not to approve it at a special meeting scheduled for June 1 at 8 a.m.

“We will keep the community updated on the status of this situation and thank you for your continued support of our schools, staff members and students,” D97 officials wrote in the statement.

OPRF school board eyes dress code changes

Board could remove prohibitions on hats, hoodies next school year

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

Ev

And students will only need to produce their IDs in certain instances, such as upon request of any faculty or staff member, for admission to events like dances and athletic events, and when checking out books from the library.

Rouse said the longstanding prohibitions, especially pertaining to hats and hoodies, are “archaic” and applied to a time when gang-related problems intersected with how students dressed. Now, he said, is a “different time,” when the correlation between hats and gangs is not a pressing issue at the school.

“For students to lose out on instruction time because we’re fighting with them over a hat or we’re fighting with them over some attire is really hard-pressed when you call home and have those discussions,” Rouse said.

Some board members expressed some concerns about the extent of the changes.

“This strikes me as a major leap,” said board member Matt Baron of the dress code changes. “Once inserting something, how do you pull that back?”

Rouse, who said the changes are not being uniformly enforced, anyway, noted that the district has tried implementing a pilot phase of the changes this semester by taking a very lax approach to dress code enforcement.

The result, he said, has so far been a student environment that is less stressful — for students and faculty — than before.

e f nd th m O ha in l r Pa u yO

Er Ev Oa yt k hi E O r P n ak y ar g Pa on k rk E

Starting next school year, students at Oak Park and River Forest High School may be able to wear hoodies and caps during the school day without worrying about possible disciplinary infractions.

The District 200 school board is considering changes to the Code of Conduct policies featured in the 2018-19 student handbook that may axe the longstanding prohibitions.

The board is also considering no longer requiring all OPRF students to wear their student IDs visibly around their necks during the school day and updating the policy that governs how excessive absences affect students’ grades. The board is scheduled to vote on the modifications at a regular meeting on May 24.

During a Committee of the Whole meeting on May 15, OPRF Principal Nathaniel Rouse told board members the recommended changes, particularly the one regarding the dress code, were supported by OPRF student groups like Students Advocating for Equity.

In addition, the district’s Culture, Climate

and Behavior Committee recommendations, which are scheduled to be approved by the school board on May 24, includes revising the student dress code in a way that “supports students’ self-expression and treats all students equitably.”

Rouse said the dress code changes were also based on research into a Model Student Dress Code developed by the Oregon chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and presented to the Portland Public Schools Board of Education in 2015.

According to Oregon NOW’s website, student dress codes and administrative enforcement “should support equitable educational access and should not reinforce gender stereotypes,” or “increase marginalization or oppression of any group based on race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, household income, gender identity or cultural observance.”

Rouse said on May 15 that students are currently not allowed to wear hats or hoodies while in the building and are required to wear their student IDs at all times, but uniform enforcement of these requirements, he said, has been a struggle over the years.

If the board approves the recommended changes, students will have the option of wearing hats “facing straight forward or straight backward,” according to the draft proposal, as long as the face is visible to staff.

Rouse added he’s taken a lead in discussions about dress-code policies that may be adopted by schools across the West Suburban Conference.

“It’s not just us that will have different dress codes. I expect other districts to follow suit,” he said, adding that Evanston Township High School District 202 has helped frame the dialogue with its own policy changes.

Rouse also recommended that the board approve changes to its no credit grading policy. Currently, students with 12 total absences during any semester, excused or unexcused, may receive an NP or NF grade — the former meaning the student was passing, while the latter means the student was failing, at the time no credit was given.

“In an effort to be more equitable regarding our ‘NP or NF’ grade policy, we recommend changing the wording from the word ‘may’ to the word ‘will,’” Rouse said.

The new change removes faculty discretion from the process of students receiving NP or NF grades due to excessive absences.

Once students reach the threshold, the NP or NF grades will be applied to students’ records automatically.

Rouse said he hopes the proposed change allows the administration to manage the process more effectively and address the reasons for why students may be absent too much.

Sears building to become apartments, retail Tucker, Seritage release rendering of proposed building

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

Seritage Growth Properties, the holding company for Sears properties, and Tucker Development, have released a rendering of the proposed mixed-use building planned for the shuttered Sears department store at Harlem and North avenues.

Highland Park-based development firm

Tucker announced that it is redeveloping two Sears locations – the one at Harlem and North and another at 4730 W. Irving Park Rd. The company noted that it will first begin work at 1601 N. Harlem location.

Tucker executives declined to comment on the proposal.

Tucker stated in the press release that both projects will include retail and residential components.

“We are thrilled to partner with Seritage on these two dynamic projects that will transform these properties into vibrant retail and residential destinations,” Aaron Tucker, chief investment officer of Tucker Development, said in the press release.

Jeff Martin, vice president of develop-

ment at Seritage, said in the press release that the local development firm’s expertise and knowledge “will play an integral role in helping to bring our collective vision for both sites to fruition.”

Thank You! To the young man who saved our little granddaughter from harm on Tuesday, May 15, shortly after 5 pm at the intersection of Ridgeland and Jackson: She had run way ahead of us and was about to cross the street on her own. You obviously sensed a serious situation, got off your bike, and stopped her as she entered the intersection. You brought her back to the sidewalk. By the time we got there you had pedaled away so we couldn’t express our gratitude.

Whoever you are, you’re a hero! We’re guessing you may be a student at OPRF or possibly Percy Julian.

A very, very special person.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

OPRF shakes up administration lineup

Oak Park and River Forest High School has undergone a series of adjustments at the administrative level that could dramatically affect how the district’s bureaucracy functions over the long term.

VOICE

Targeting the 2019 election from page 1 tect Oak Park’s environment by enhancing the parks and green spaces and promoting “energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources.”

Klayman and some of the other organizers of VOICE first became public figures in 2016, when they opposed development of the 18-story luxury apartment high-rise by Albion Development at the corner of Lake Street and Forest Avenue.

The anti-Albion group argued that the building was too large for the downtown area — it is located across the street from the 21-story Vantage apartment building constructed in 2016 — and would cast a shadow on the adjacent Austin Gardens park, damaging the ecology of the public space.

Klayman said the Albion project is a good example of how the village makes decisions behind closed doors. He said development proposals are now brought to the Oak Park Economic Development Corporation (OPEDC), a quasi-governmental entity tasked with bringing new development to Oak Park. The OPEDC board deliberates on the proposals and provides a recommendation to the Oak Park Board of Trustees.

Those OPEDC board meetings, however, are not open to the public. Klayman said by the time they reach the public process, the proposals are a “done deal.”

“New, big developments like Vantage and Albion are a freight train in full motion by the time the public has anything to say about it,” he said, adding that large residential developments also are not required to include affordable units under village code and that each project is negotiated between the village and the developer.

Klayman said the group does not current-

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE: Members of the new political group VOICE held their first meeting in the Oak Park Public Library, 834 Lake St. (top left).

ly have any specific proposals but is aimed at listening to the interests of members of the public.

It’s uncertain what effect the new group would have on the Village Manager Association, a longtime Oak Park group that vets and slates candidates for public office. The VMA suffered a major setback in the 2017 municipal election, where not a single one of its candidates won public office.

The VMA’s incumbent trustee candidates, Glenn Brewer and Peter Barber, were defeated, as was the VMA’s chosen candidate for Village Clerk, Lori Malinski.

VMA President Lynn Kamenitsa declined to comment on the new organization.

Trustees Simone Boutet and Deno Andrews attended the first VOICE meeting.

Boutet said in a telephone interview that she is not a member of the group but agreed there needs to be more transparency at OPEDC. “They spend public funds in a way that is not publicly trackable and that’s an issue,” she said.

Boutet, who did not seek the VMA’s endorsement in her first run for public office last year, said she is not anti-VMA. “I consider the VMA the same as this group; they

are groups of citizens who want to participate in democracy,” she said.

Deno Andrews told Wednesday Journal he has received some criticism from members of VOICE after voting in favor of the Albion project. Andrews said he was opposed to the project during his run for public office last year.

He said he believes in transparency but opposes the idea of making OPEDC meetings public.

“Yes, they could be more open, and they could give a little bit more news about what they’re doing, but do I want the public involved in looking at every detail of every development before it even gets proposed to us? No way, because nothing will ever happen,” he said. “Every developer will run away and say, ‘I’m not dealing with that town again.’”

READING LIST

Other recommended books

Teacher recommended from page 1 Greg Johnson, OPRF’s assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said all of the texts were chosen by English and history teachers, who asked for provisional support from division heads to use them in classrooms this school year — a test run of sorts for figuring out whether or not the books will be officially added to the curricula and read by more students in the years to come.

“It’s a transition period for these books,” Johnson said. “Before we adopt them, we want to make sure they work. Once the board approves them, our teachers will have access to the books should they choose to use them down the road.”

Because they were selected by the teachers, the books are also reflections of how some instructors are processing major cultural issues and lend insight into teaching methods.

As part of the process of getting the books approved by the board, teachers needed to fill out instructional materials adoption forms, which required them to point out some of the books’ positive qualities.

“African-American superheroes … engage a larger audience,” wrote the teacher who recommended Coates’ comic book, which also aligned with the “African king-

Waking Up White by Debby Irving (explores white privilege) Whistling Vivaldi by Claude Steele (explores the racial stereotypes and their psychological effects) White Like Me by Tim Wise (another examination of white privilege that is “one-part memoir, one-part polemical essay,” according to the Amazon synopsis)

doms unit in world history.”

Noah’s book, which a teacher recommended for use in an English 10 College Prep course, would be “used as a core text for the unit on South Africa, to be read after students learn the history of apartheid and the history of South Africa before apartheid became the official system of government,” one teacher wrote.

Johnson said that, although he can’t say the books are directly the result of district policies, he does think there’s some correlation between the book

ARTFUL URBAN RESIDENCES IN THE HEART OF OAK PARK

choices and the district’s focus on equity and multiculturalism embedded in its strategic plan.

“I’d say that [the book choices] are emblematic of the growth we’re trying to do as a district,” he said.

“We have a whole bunch of initiatives going in the same direction and we want those initiatives to take on a life of their own,” Johnson added. “We’re

seeing that with the individual choices teachers are making with their curriculum. This is absolutely a progression from last year and we’re happy to be moving along.”

But Johnson was careful to stress that the book choices fundamentally boiled down to individual preference.

“Credit goes to the teachers,” he said.

“They’ve been engaged in a lot of curricular development. They decided to pick these texts for their own reasons. They’re helping to push our curriculum into a wider area — from considering different religious texts to examining bias. The idea is to help our students understand the world, and to do that, we need fresh texts.”

Attempted carjacking on South Taylor Avenue in Oak Park

Oak Park police are searching for two men who attempted to steal a man’s vehicle at gunpoint in the 1100 block of South Taylor Avenue at 10:35 a.m., on Saturday, May 19.

Potbelly uses reasonably good quality pork, bread and cheese. Like much Cuban food, Potbelly’s Cuban sandwich is not even remotely spicy (having been exposed to lots of Mexican food, we tend to think of food from Hispanic countries as being usually spicy hot, but that is not so).

Matthew Dean, my friend and fellow Oak Parker, had a Potbelly Cuban Sandwich and remarked, “Liked it. The mustard is surprisingly sharp and goes well with (non-canonical) hot peppers requested on the side.”

A side of hot peppers or giardiniera do add a welcome element of heat, though those condiments are, as noted, nontraditional. One traditional element missing from Potbelly’s version is the crunchy crust achieved when the fully assembled sandwich is toasted in the panini press. When the flavors are so simple, the texture of a crisp crust can help a lot.

If you’ve never had a Cuban Sandwich, Potbelly is your go-to option in Oak Park.

We’re seeing this sandwich turn up on many hipper Chicago menus, as at Punch Bowl Social and Dropshot, so maybe it’s just a matter of time before more Oak Park

JOLLY, GOOD FELLOW: Shawn Weakliss, 44, greats dozens of well-wishers, who cheered and sang as he arrived on Monday during a surprise birthday party at Brown Cow on Madison Street in Forest Park.

Surprise party for Lake Theatre stalwart

It wasn’t a surprise party but a shock-andawe birthday party that tri-village community members threw for Shawn Weakliss, tickettaker extraordinaire at the Lake Theatre, who has become a community celeb, aka “Mr. Weekend,” over the past 18 years, calling the girls “Supermodel” and the boys “Bodyguard” as he tears their tickets and joshing with every kid who enters.

On Mother’s Day, he mentioned to BJ Richards, who was waiting in the lobby for her daughter to park the car, that his birthday was coming up on May 15 and that he had never really had a birthday party.

Richards put out the call on social media and over 100 grandparents, parents and kids showed up on May 21 at Brown Cow Ice

Cream Parlor in Forest Park, packing the back room and letting out a resounding roar when Shawn arrived.

Lake Theatre Manager Doug Clayton found a way to lure him to Brown Cow, which by happy coincidence, is located in a former movie theater on Madison Street.

A candle-thick ice cream cake, “Happy Birthday” and “He’s a Jolly Good Fellow,” and myriad handmade cards, complemented the festivities.

“Shocked” was how Shawn described his reaction. One of his presents was a $200 gift certificate to One Stop Comics, which should keep him buried in comic books until his next birthday.

A community approach

A

s a nation and as a community, we have increasingly realized that mental health challenges are nothing to be ashamed of.

Seeking and receiving support is a right. We still have more ground to cover in reducing stigma and increasing access to and effectiveness of services. But we are on the right road.

River Forest and Oak Park have reframed the mental and behavioral health needs of our children from an individual family challenge to a community challenge. We are actively working to create the network of care needed to ensure that all children are empowered to reach their full potential. That means different taxing bodies, service providers, and community members working together to improve specific mental and behavioral health outcomes for our youngest citizens. Teams are working to improve awareness, cultural responsiveness and access to care, reduce suicides and let young people and families know that they are not alone.

This support is reflected in how we treat one another. The decision at the Oak Park Library to replace security guards with social workers and our schools’ move to more

ASK FOR HELP: When her anxiety rose, Jenna Baig, an OPRF student, turned to her family, including her dad Michael, for help. (ALEXA ROGALS/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER)

A good way to beat stigma of our kids’ mental health issues? TALK ABOUT IT

ichael Baig gives his daughter, Jenna, a lot of credit for knowing she needed help when anxiety overwhelmed her.

It was during the first semester of her junior year at OPRF, when Jenna, who recently turned 18, started having panic attacks. One day as Christmas break approached, she went to the girl’s restroom and called her mom.

She was crying and didn’t know why.

In partnership with

“I don’t know what’s going on,” Jenna told her mom. “I’m completely freaking out. Everything is overwhelming me. I’m shaking like a leaf. You told me if I ever needed help, I could reach out. Can you come pick me up from school?”

When it was time to return to school after break, Jenna told her parents she couldn’t go back. She also said, “I know there are options. I gotta see somebody. I need some help.”

The Baigs took Jenna to a therapist.

Eventually she received inpatient care at a treatment center in Hinsdale, then

did an intensive outpatient program.

She ended up missing the entire second semester of her junior year.

As graduation day approaches, Jenna said she is feeling “way better now that I have medication that’s working.

Going through so much treatment, l learned how to deal with things that are thrown at me instead of just shutting down.”

Even in elementary and middle schools, social workers report seeing more incidences of students experiencing mental and emotional health issues.

To address the mental and emotional

health challenges, D97 officials recently announced plans to hire one student support specialist, four new social workers, one school psychologist, three interventionists and four special education teachers.

Since setting up her private practice in Oak Park four years ago, therapist Judith Hanna, who treats adults, teens and pre-teens, said she has seen an increase in the number of young people experiencing anxiety. Like other professionals, she believes social media, too

INTRO from page 17 restorative and less punitive approaches to discipline are great examples.

It is reflected in the supports we provide to those of us struggling: Fred, a parent support group for parents of children, teens and young adults with mental illness and resulting behavioral problems. Funding and providing supports like additional social workers at OPRFHS; Strive for Success, to help with navigating complicated services; Sibshops, for siblings of children dealing with mental illness; LOSS, for those who have lost a person to suicide; Minority Family Support Program, a culturally responsive parent support group; and Support4U, a 24-hour text support hotline for adolescents and teens.

Experts from across our community are working collectively in teams like the Multicultural Behavioral Health Advisory Commission (MBHAC) and the Mental Health Awareness & Suicide Prevention Task Force. These all reflect a community coming together to fund, provide and support the care that our young people need. It is our hope that this month’s issue of SAY Connects will help you find your role as a participant in a community that cares.

“We’re in a poignant time of transition currently, where people are saying, ‘you need to talk about it. You can get help. You can get better.’"

— Carey Carlock, CEO of Riveredge Hospital

Wednesday Journal about their children’s mental health issues said they had heard their teens express suicidal thoughts. Before getting professional help, “she had a plan to kill herself,” said one Oak Park mother of her teen daughter who has dealt with anxiety and depression among other behavioral issues.

All are working to “help identify signs and symptoms and attenuate treatment to mitigate risks and have better outcomes,” said Carlock, who is a trained therapist and board president of NAMI. During May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month, the task force is rolling out a campaign with information on the signs and symptoms that family members and friends can learn to recognize in someone who may be at risk for suicide, Carlock said.

Thrive, an Oak Park-based mental health center, recently introduced a new program that it plans to launch this summer designed to make Oak Park and River Forest “suicide safer communities.” On average, six lives are lost to suicide in these villages every year, according to Thrive.

Living Works Education, an international leader in suicide prevention training, will train Thrive clinical staff and enhance their skills with safeTALK suicide alertness, and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

A support app for teens Earlier this month, local mental health agencies in partnership with all three school districts (D90, D97 and D200) introduced a mental health-related resource for students called Support4U. It allows students to text licensed mental health clinicians any time of the day for assistance or guidance.

Support4U is one of the first initiatives of the Suicide Prevention Task Force made up of local police departments, the Community Mental Health Board of Oak Park Township, Thrive and Riveredge Hospital, which are all looking at ways to provide mental health education and awareness, said Kimberly Knake, executive director of NAMI. “It’s the only crisis text program answered by master level clinicians,” Knake said.

While students can initiate a text conversation on any issue, some of the matters that students might wish to address could include anxiety, depression, substance use, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, bullying, abuse or any other mental healthrelated topic.

The resource is anonymous to allay concerns about identity that might keep a student from reaching out.

The program will be rolled out with greater fanfare in the fall, but administrators wanted to ensure that students would have supports available to them when they do not have ready access to school social workers and staff over the summer months.

(ASIST) suicide intervention trainings.

Those staff members will then offer training and support to community residents, helping to build a network of individuals able to identify people with thoughts of suicide and connect them to resources.

Thrive is also planning to provide enhanced training for local police departments, emergency medical teams, fire departments, school personnel and others who will serve as ASIST partners, those prepared to accept referrals for individuals contemplating suicide.

ANXIETY continued from page 1 much screen time and academic competition can bring on anxiety and stress.

Hanna points to another cause “that might not be so popular,” she said.

That’s nutrition. She thinks consuming processed foods and environmental toxins can affect mental health and researchers are finding more evidence to back that up. For a lot of potential clients, she said, often her first suggestions is that they see a primary care physician to rule out allergies and other conditions.

Anxiety is the most common mental health disorder in the United States, affecting nearly one-third of both adolescents and adults, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

Anxiety disorder is more prevalent among females than males.

By far, the Baigs’ experience is not uncommon. In multiple interviews, Oak Park and River Forest parents shared a range of stories about how they and their children are coping with mental health issues.

Citing statistics from the CDC, Kimberly Knake, executive director NAMI Metro Suburban, said 20 percent of youth 13-18 will have a mental health condition but only half will be diagnosed or seek treatment within five to six years. “Only 50 percent will get a formal diagnosis.”

Jenna, who was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, panic disorder, general anxiety and mood disorder and

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a general term for several disorders that cause nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worrying. Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life.

Someone might feel anxious before taking a test or competing in a sport. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. An anxiety disorder is when the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. The feelings can interfere with daily activities such as school work and relationships.

Symptoms can include crying, fatigue, feeling sad or withdrawn, trying to harm oneself, risk-taking behavior.

For others, mainly because of the stigma surrounding mental illness, they see their situations as a private matter.

Several parents interviewed for this story didn’t want their names or their children’s revealed.

But like the Baigs, Danielle Désiré wants more people to understand what today’s young people are experienc-

ing. Her daughter, who graduated from OPRF last year, “dealt with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, bullying — the whole gamut,” she said.

Now four years on the road to recovery with her daughter, Désiré said sharing their story “has become my passion” [because] teenage mental health and behavioral health has become one thing we need to bring more light to.”

Initially, she asked herself, “Where did I go wrong? How did I miss the signs?”

More mental and public health professionals are focusing on ways to address adolescent anxiety and other disorders. NAMI’s “Ending the Silence” is an in-school presentation designed to teach middle and high school students about the signs and symptoms of mental illness and how to recognize the early warning signs including facts and

statistics and how to get help for themselves or a friend.

In communities like Oak Park and River Forest, with a sizable population of well-educated and well-off residents, some experts see the relentless stresses of adolescence — academics, sports, social — as contributing to mental health problems.

Suniya Luthar, a professor of psychology at Arizona State University who studies distress and resilience, said research shows more emotional distress among privileged youth. “These kids are incredibly anxious and perfectionistic,” she told The New York Times.

Stephanie, an Oak Park mom who didn’t want her last name used, has a son whose anxiety presents with school refusal. When he can’t get his homework done, his “nerves start racking up

because he didn’t do what he was supposed to do, then he gets horrible anxiety thinking, ‘I’m going to get in trouble,’” and he refuses to go to school, she said.

His stress is stressful for her. He’s had sensory issues since he was a little boy.

Stephanie said, “He would say, ‘Mom, I can’t stop my head. I need to tell you this.’ He had to get these things off loaded before he could sleep. There was never any end to it.”

Her son is 17 now. “I worry all the time,” she said. “And I keep looking for different ways to help him.”

Jenna, the graduating senior, believes whether you’re a young person with anxiety or the parent of a child with the condition, it’s important to tell someone. “You have to make people know that you need help.”

Fred offers support for parents

Feel so sad or hopeless almost every day Seriously consider suicide 2016 Illinois Youth Survey (IYS): Youth “agree” or “strongly agree” responses Prepared by Linda Francis in partnership with Roosevelt University PRC

For parents who need support and resources to help them navigate the children’s mental health system in Illinois, there’s Fred. It’s a monthly meeting group that hosts expert speakers, advocates for communityfunded services and helps parents become more effective advocates for their children. “We offer hope, borne from experience, that our children and our families can get better,” said Jean Meister, who co-founded Fred in 2007 with child and adoles-

cent psychiatrist Dr. Susan Scherer.

The name Fred is almost a code name for the group, said one member of its leadership team. It is a way to refer to the group without saying “the group for parents of mentally ill children.”

The format for Fred is similar to that of the NAMI meetings. Everything said during the meeting is promised to remain entirely confidential. Each person introduces themselves by their first name

only and in three minutes or less talks about their current issues or situation with their loved one. Other members of the group contribute suggestions, ideas, or possible help for each person’s problem either after each three-minute introduction or after everyone in the group has spoken for their three minutes. Sometimes the help is just in having a place to talk openly about the difficulties of living with an ill child and be understood.

Strive for Sucess

Once a family decides a child needs mental health treatment, the web is just beginning.

Strive for Success is a program under MBHAC that provides care coordination and patient navigation for youth and families in District 97 middle schools, grades 5 through 8.

The program offers comprehensive individualized, multicultural and community-based service supports reinforcing systems of care and behavioral health services for minority residents in Oak Park.

Strive for Success stepped up a few years ago when Arbutus Winfrey needed help for her son, who was struggling emotionally following her divorce and the death of her mother.

“He was depressed, but he won’t admit it,” she said.

Candice Martin, one of the two care coordinators for Strive for Success, connected Winfrey and her son to Pillars, a program that offers parental guidance and support and behavioral stabilization services. “I was in need of positive male role models and Candice connected me to other male mentors,” said Winfrey.

Martin said she works with a parent and child “to see what’s going on, if it’s depression or anxiety or school refusal then we refer them to services in and around Oak Park.” Clients can come to her office or Martin and Raheem Young, the other SFS care coordinator, visit them at home or meet in neutral location like the library.

“We do an initial interview to collect background information, demographic info. We then do a strength and difficulty assessment that breaks down social, emotional and hyperactivity issues. Based on that, we make referrals for tutoring, mental health support group, individual therapy, mentoring program,” said Martin.

“Our main thing is being a bridge to treatment. Making referrals to appropriate providers to make sure [clients are] not on a wait list.”

Race can be added factor in finding mental health services Shortage of minority therapists makes connecting harder

By CASSANDRA WEST Contributing Reporter

ultural backgrounds can often account for individual attitudes toward mental health treatment services.

For instance, a parent whose child has mental or behavioral issues may not pursue needed treatment out of a belief that a therapist may not be sensitive to the child’s background.

Add to that a chronic shortage of therapists who are male or persons of color plus the inevitable complexities of navigating any new sort of health care system – entry points, insurance, communication – and the issue of providing mental health services to

minority students becomes only more difficult.

These issues surfaced in Oak Park and River Forest from a 2010 study that revealed “minorities have less access to, are less likely to use mental health services and report less positive outcomes.”

The Multicultural Behavioral Health Advocacy Commission (MBHAC) was created seven years ago to advocate for better behavioral health services and works with minority youth and families to provide mental health services and care coordination. The commission is part of the Oak Park Community Mental Health Board.

To address concerns over cultural competency on the part of a prospec-

Judith Hanna, an Oak Park therapist, has welcomed training on cultural competency. (ALEXA ROGALS/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER) tive therapist, MBHAC has undertaken cultural training of mental health pros and social service providers in the villages.

Judith Hanna, an Oak Park therapist in private practice, has a special interest in cross-cultural experiences. Hanna said a certain level of cultural competency by the therapist can allay the reservations of families of color.

As a clinician, Hanna has worked through MBHAC on efforts to destigmatize mental health services, especially for persons of color, she said during an interview in her office in downtown Oak Park.

“They kind of loop together -- attacking stigma and cultural competency,” she said, “because we can encourage people to seek out help, but once they get there will they feel a connection, will they feel heard, accepted. And the system can be difficult” to navigate.

To help service providers better address the needs of these culturally diverse villages, many organizations have turned to cultural competency training.

MBHAC enlisted Nile Gossett, an Oak Park resident and diversity consultant, to facilitate a series of trainings, in which Hanna participated.

So far there have been six sessions, Gossett said. Among participants were staff from several local organizations including Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry, Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society, Thrive Counseling Center and Riveredge Hospital. Sessions have covered unconscious bias and how it affects decision making, he said.

“I keep circling back to dealing with our youth,” said Gossett. “It always ends up being a broader discussion about the idea of stigma in the African American and Latino community [around] behavioral and mental health. And then we start breaking that down. Stigma’s too big a word.

What does it mean? How does it manifest itself? How is stigma expressed?

And what do people do in reaction to it? It’s really open and free-flowing. It’s an exchange of ideas as opposed to an exchange of facts.”

Hanna believes that everyone has “biases about what mental health is and what therapy is,” but Gossett gets everyone to reflect on their own biases at the workshops, she said.

From a therapist’s standpoint, Hanna said, “Cultural competency hits on several levels. We talk about what is the client demographic? Do clinicians reflect that demographic? One of the things about cultural competency is making sure that the services provided are accessible to and appropriate to persons of color. And to that end, what is the makeup of the agency itself?”

She also noted that, in general, the mental health field is “always in need of male clinicians and persons of colors.”

Hanna heads the committee within MBHAC focused on addressing stigma and one of her tasks is to collect data where she can.

“All I could use this time was my own practice,” she said, “and I noticed in the four years I’ve been here, I have more persons of color.”

COOK COUNTY REAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS FOR 2018 This publication constitutes official notice of the changes in assessment to all owners of real property in Oak Park Township. The 2018 assessment changes as published herein are those determined by the Assessor of Cook County.

It is the duty of the Assessor to appraise all taxable real property in Cook County at its fair cash value as of January 1, 2018. Fair cash value is described as what the property would bring at a voluntary sale in the normal course of business or trade. The Assessor is required by l aw to assess said property in a fair and just manner.

The Assessor does not determine property taxes. Property taxes are determined by the spending needs and requests of municipalities, school boards, park districts and other local government agencies which provide public services to property owners. The Assessor’s sole responsibility is to estimate the value of real estate property.

In Cook County, real property is classified according to its use. The classification system is used to determine the percentage of the fair cash value at which the real property is assessed for purposes of taxation.

Accordingly, real property is assessed at only a fraction of its fair cash value, depending on its use and classification.

Changes in assessment for land and improvements are lists separately.

The dimensions of the land are also listed: A - Acres B - Back Lot N - Irregular Lot S - Square Feet Cook County uses a Permanent Index Number (P.I.N) system as a means to identify individual real estate parcels. The PIN consists of a 14-digit number. The first two digits identify the area or survey township; the second two digits identify the sub-area or section; the next three digits identify blocks.

Note: Blocks are defined as follows: Blocks 100 to 199 are located in the N.W. Quarter Blocks 200 to 299 are located in the N.E. Quarter Blocks 300 to 399 are located in the S.W. Quarter Blocks 400 to 499 are located in the S.E. Quarter The next three digits in the series identify the specific parcel or lot. The last four, (where applicable), identify individual condominium units, nonoperating railroad parcels or leasehold’s of exempt parcels.

Whenever possible, the assessment list will be listed by the street name and the street or house number of the parcel. However, the Cook County Assessor’s Office official records rely on permanent Property Index Numbers (P.I.N.) only. No assessment of real property shall be considered invalid due to an incorrect listing.

If you have any questions regarding the assessment of real property you should visit the Office of the Assessor of Cook County, 118 N. Clark Street, Room 301, Chicago, Illinois 60602, or call (312) 443-7550.

Arming teachers? Bad idea p. 47

Ego and pride are no match for chance and luck

W

e humans are a foolish species. We believe our fates are somehow tied to our individual agency. Our culture is deeply imbued with the sense that anyone can achieve success if they just try hard enough. Hollywood loves stories of the poor and uneducated overcoming tremendous odds to realize the American Dream — whatever that is today. This ethos is a central tenant of conservative economic orthodoxy. Many believe that if they can overcome the handicaps of a college education and a middle-class, two-parent upbringing, then anyone can. We give ourselves way too much credit when we are successful, and way too much blame when we are not.

Recall that each of us is, as described by the German philosopher Martin Heidegger “thrown into the world.” We aren’t there, until we are. We have no say as to who are parents are, where we are born, or when we are born.

We have an equal chance to be born to a Chinese ballet dancer or an American opioid addict.

Each of us is provided a genetic package and a wired brain that science only barely understands. Some of us have brains that are good for math. Some of us have no empathy.

Some of us have serious food allergies. Some of us can run really fast. I was born missing the pet gene.

In addition to nature, there is nurture.

Again there is an utter randomness to it all. Recall that for at least the first 10 years of our lives we are almost completely at the whim and mercy of others. Like Blanche DuBois, we are dependent upon the kindness of others. Our nutrition, education, socialization, morals, preferences — everything really — is shaped during these powerfully formative years. Our control is minimal. If we are lucky during the course of our lives, we avoid economic disaster, sudden accidental death or maiming, drug addiction, the mental or physical illness of ourselves or loved ones. Some gotta win. Some gotta lose.

Eventually, we become emancipated in the sense of reaching a certain legal age. Now we’re on our own. Hardly. The barely understood relationship between nature and nurture we now carry with us for the rest of our years. No doubt we change for the better or for the worse, but those transformations are inextricably tied to a past we really had no control over. The disposition to persevere or quit, to be brave or cowardly, to be selfish or selfless, to have faith or not were never really within our control no matter how much we want to believe otherwise.

What we do is a result of who we are. Who we are was never our doing. We really want to believe our lives are shaped by us, but alas I suspect random chance is a far more powerful influence.

If this is so, it is not a sad thing because this truth should set us free.

Ego must be a necessary casualty. Pride goeth before the luck. Compassion should be ascendant because those less well off are exemplars of what could have been us had the cosmic roulette wheel stopped on a different color.

Contemporary philosopher Galen Strawson in his essay “Luck swallows everything” notes: “For whatever one actually does, one will do what one does because of the way one is, and the way one is, is something for which one neither is nor can be responsible, however self-consciously aware of one’s situation one is.”

Oak Park and River Forest High School graduates celebrate as the ceremony ends at Oak Park Stadium.

D

Can we make graduation less boring?

ear Elementary and High School Administrators: As we approach graduation season, can we have a tough-but-honest conversation about something really important? OK, I am just going to say this so we can start strategizing: For many people of color, white-organized graduation ceremonies, like most white-organized social functions, are boring and stale.

Instead of focusing on celebrating, you are focused on making sure it starts and ends on time.

And time, as an important value for a celebratory function, isn’t something that is important to most people of color (POC). So not only is it boring, but we people of color are powerless to control the program of the ceremony. So we suffer through the “official graduation tradition” of procession, flags and official seating of ranking administrators, etc.

White people and POC value time and define “appropriate” ways to celebrate graduation ceremonies differently. So the graduation becomes even more terrible. Not only are we rushed through this stale, boring, “traditional” ceremony, we also have to either try to hide our natural celebration responses

(like clapping) or risk being punished for not doing things the “white/quiet way.”

I know, I told you this was going to be hard.

But it is the truth. Like church, BBQs, weddings, and funerals, POC have different — not better, not worse, but different — traditions. Usually we can do good with our separate-but-equal traditions, like black church and white church, black BBQs and white BBQs, but when we get to school stuff, it’s harder. Which is why I am suggesting “racially/culturally segregated graduations.”

I am not talking about Jim Crow segregation.

This isn’t just different for black and white students, but rather for every minority community that wants a culturally specific graduation ceremony. The minority communities can plan and pay for it themselves, so there is no added expense to the schools.

These ceremonies would be open to all students, parents, and staff to attend, starting in elementary

Election season begins

he 2019 election season has begun in Oak Park. Ten days back, a group loosely aligned around their opposition to the Albion high rise at Lake and Forest met just down the street at the main library. They have taken the name Voice. One of the founders described it as an “organizational meeting” with an eye on the spring 2019 village board elections.

There will be three spots on the village board up for election. So far, none of the incumbents — Bob Tucker, Andrea Button or Jim Taglia — have publicly announced their plans.

Also unknown are the future plans of the Village Manager Association, the once dominant VMA, which spent decades scaring off or crushing opposition to its diversity, economic development and good government mantra. The VMA, decimated in the election 15 months ago, owes us a head nod if it intends to climb off the mat.

Is Ray Johnson, the former VMA trustee, ready to retire from his corporate sanctuary in Brooklyn and return home for a run? Well likely not until he can run for village president in 2021. (And, yes, we’re just stirring the pot here.)

We’d be surprised if there isn’t some electoral version of the Oak Park Property Tax Watch, a Facebook and in-person gather up of people alarmed by rising property tax burdens in the village.

Whether their potential electoral thunder ought to be directed at village hall or Oak Park and River Forest High School is a question still to be answered.

Who else? Mayor Anan Abu-Taleb, re-elected without opposition in 2017, may want to get into the slate-making business, seeking out pro-development, government efficiency and public safety supporters. If he doesn’t find allies, or convince his current colleagues to re-up, he may have a very lonely final two years as mayor.

All that said, whoever runs for the village board has to be running toward something. Voice can’t just be against anything taller than 60 feet. Nobody cares about the VMA’s 70-year legacy. Truly, nobody cares. The Property Tax Watch people might really want to focus on the public schools as that is where the great bulk of property taxes are deposited.

And Abu-Taleb needs a tagline broader than “We’re open for business.”

By fall we’ll be moving into declaration and petition passing mode. Every election counts. But we see 2019 as a defining year for Oak Park and its future.

Memorial Day’s power Perhaps more so in perilous times, but Memorial Day is a sober occasion to honor and respect men and women who in our past and in the present have joined the U.S. military to protect our nation, to represent our nation and its values in conflicts the world over.

It is also a day to remember the profound power of the U.S. armed forces, and to be clear in our expectation that the use of its power will be in support of thoughtful initiatives and not rogue impulses.

In our villages, we celebrate Memorial Day 2018 on Monday, as we have for so many decades, with a parade through River Forest. This is a traditional parade honoring our local veterans, both specific and in their totality. Marching bands, scouts, all manner of elected officials and representatives of every local group and agency which spin the connective tissue that makes these such great villages.

Wednesday Journal is among the many sponsors. We’ll see you along Ashland Avenue. And don’t worry, we’ve got Twizzlers by the bucketful.

The real royal wedding

attended the wedding last Saturday morning. No, not that wedding. Not the one between Prince Harry and the marvelous Meghan Markle, who currently seems to enjoy the greatest name recognition on the planet — for reasons I can’t quite fathom.

Instead, I attended the second major wedding of the morning, the one between my friends Rick and Gail, and I didn’t have to wake up as early as those glued to their TVs at 4 a.m. I’m happy for the young royal couple and wish them well, of course, and look forward to the ridiculously excessive media coverage if and when the new Mrs. Windsor becomes pregnant and observers breathlessly speculate on what the newest little Windsor’s name might be and whether it will qualify as a technical breach of royal tradition.

Gail and Rick’s wedding, on the other hand, was a more down-to-earth and relaxed affair, two good people getting married much later in life, both of whom had been disappointed in love once before, their marriages ending for the usual reason marriages end: the inability to find true partnership.

But they never gave up and, thanks to the miracle of high-tech online dating search engines and good old-fashioned, low-tech persistence, they found one another.

It has been 40 years since Rick’s first wedding, which I also attended. In fact, I was his best man.

Forty years is a long time to trek through life unproperly partnered — a journey of biblical proportions. Yet he never gave up on finding his anam cara.

“The Celtic understanding of friendship finds its inspiration and culmination in the sublime notion of the anam cara,” according to John O’Donohue, who wrote a book by that name. “Anam is the Gaelic word for soul; cara is the word for friend.

So anam cara means soul friend. The anam cara is a person to whom you can reveal the hidden intimacies of your life. This friendship is an act of recognition and belonging. When you have an anam cara, your friendship cuts across all convention and category. You are joined in an ancient and eternal way with the friend of your soul. … The anam-cara experience opens a friendship that is not wounded or limited by separation or distance.

Such friendship can remain alive even when the friends live far away from each other. Because they have broken through the barriers of persona and egoism to the soul level, the unity of their souls is not easily severed. … With your anam cara, you awaken the eternal.”

It may be possible to have a soul friend earlier in life, but becoming acquainted with one’s soul takes time, and if you aren’t acquainted with your own, how can you achieve union with another’s? I don’t know if Harry and Meghan are soul friends yet, but I do know that Gail and Rick are, and that makes theirs the true royal wedding.

First marriages, perhaps because of a couple’s immaturity, often seek a faulty kind of “emotional fusion,” which Jerome Kern and Ira Gershwin captured in a long-ago song: Now that we are one / Which one shall we be? /

KEN

Shall we be you / Or shall we be me?

A lot of young marriages flounder when one or both attempt to turn “we” into “me.”

Or as Rilke put it in one of the readings Rick and Gail so thoughtfully chose for their wedding, “The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of [his or her] solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust.”

A young marriage is all about promise (not only the ones we make and aren’t always prepared to keep, but also the promise of unrealized potential, which we aren’t always prepared to fulfill). Young marriage is the attempted triumph of hope over experience, whereas a marriage between olders is more about the triumph of experience over hope.

Or as Susan Sarandon’s sadder-but-wiser character says in the film Shall We Dance?: “We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet [billions now]. What does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, all of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying, ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness’.”

In a good marriage, then, we are one another’s witnesses, we are the protectors of one another’s solitude, we are each other’s soul friend. We aspire to be all that when we take the breathtaking plunge into a life together.

I wish Duke Harry and Duchess Meghan well, but I’ve witnessed the journey Rick and Gail have taken. As the promotional poster for the film The Painted Veil put it some years back, “The greatest journey is the distance between two people.”

During that journey every couple is buffeted by “the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity,” metaphors for the turbulence that attends any life partnership. But as Teilhard de Chardin famously wrote, “Someday [after we have mastered those forces] “we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world [or the history of two lives], we will have discovered fire.”

That’s the ultimate goal, our evolutionary destiny, but for the time being, Rilke has a more realistic take on marriage, whether between youngsters or oldsters, soul friends or fellow travelers, so he gets the last word on Wedding Day: She who reconciles the ill-matched threads Of her life, and weaves them gratefully Into a single cloth – It’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hall And clears it for a different celebration Where the one guest is you.

In the softness of evening It’s you she receives.

You are the partner of her loneliness, The unspeaking center of her monologues.

With each disclosure you encompass more And she stretches beyond what limits her, To hold you.

Transform your anger into getting out the vote

rom her kitchen window in Auburn, Illinois, 19-year-old Ashley Aldridge had a clear view of the railroad crossing 100 yards away and a man in a wheelchair stuck between the tracks.

The man was yelling for help as a motorcycle and two cars went by without stopping.

As the crossing gate was clanging down, she ran, barefoot, over a gravel path along the tracks. When she got to the man, the train was less than half a mile away. Failing to dislodge the wheelchair, she wrapped her arms around the man’s chest but couldn’t lift him. As the train barreled toward them, she pulled with a mighty heave yanking him out of the chair. Within seconds, the train smashed the wheelchair, carrying fragments of steel and plastic half a mile up the track.

Aldridge didn’t stand at her kitchen window, curse at the train, or rant in anger about those who passed. She ran to save the man.

Many of us believe we are in a similar position in this country. There is a “train” of autocracy and violence bearing down on the country that will “smash” all that we know as good.

Aldridge’s episode above, from “The Science of Good and Evil” in the January 2018 issue of National Geographic, outlines what makes people especially giving or cruel. Her heroic rescue is an example of extreme altruism — “a selfless act to help those unrelated to oneself at the risk of grave personal harm.”

Researchers now have an understanding of the science of what drives good and evil: “Extreme altruists and psychopaths exemplify our best and worst instincts. On one end of the moral spectrum, sacrifice and generosity that we recognize as good; on the other end, selfishness, and violence that we see as evil.”

Both traits, good and evil, are based on a key emotion-

W E D N E S D A Y

JOURNAL of Oak Park and River Forest

al trait: “Empathy is the intrinsic ability of the brain to experience how another person is feeling. It’s what impels us to help others in distress.”

Violent, psychopathic, and antisocial behaviors, on the other hand, result from the brain’s lack of empathy.

Humans evolved the desire to help one another because cooperation within large social groups was essential to survival. But because groups had to compete for resources, the willingness to maim and possibly kill opponents was also crucial.

We have thus evolved to be the most social and the most violent species on Earth, exhibiting as a result of that evolution those good and evil traits.

The “train” of evil from the White House cannot be turned around.

Moreover, our actions in opposition can make matters worse. Trump’s support is enhanced by public expressions of anger and aggression.

So just like Ashley Aldridge, let us get away from our “window” of complaining, and ignore “the motorcycle and two cars that went by without stopping.” Let us put Trump out of our minds, transform our anger to work and race, even “barefoot” over the “gravel path,” and get the country off the “tracks” before nothing can be done.

That means getting out the vote to change our government in the 2018 election. Nothing else matters.

The demolition of an icon

747 William in River Forest is no more. The cruel teeth of the excavator bit into what had once been a part of a rare Prairie-style housing development. The event, while not unexpected, was still a shock.

A majority of us who serve on River Forest’s Historical Preservation Commission had months before signedoff on the demolition. We did so reluctantly but with full knowledge that our options were severely limited. The most the commission could do was delay the demolition for 180 days, not proscribe it. The commission could also require a developer to meet with the commissioners at public hearings.

Mr. Sarvis, the lead developer, who is also a resident of River Forest, fully cooperated with the commission. He answered all the commission’s questions in a clear and precise manner and was always open as to his intent to demolish the structure. He also led an extensive tour of the structure and allow the commission’s architects to prod and poke in all the nooks and crannies. After viewing the structure and listening to various points of view, I reluctantly concluded that indeed 747 had no redeeming economic value. Investing $100,000+ into the structure

Poems to read and share This past Christmas I was lucky enough to receive A People’s History of Chicago, a collection of poems by Kevin Coval.

As I read through the book I found myself wanting to share poems with family and friends. I read “Albert Parsons Can Hang” to Carla, with whom I had visited the Haymarket Martyrs’ Monument in Forest Park, and shared “Nelson Algren Meets Simone de Beauvoir at the Palmer House” with feminist sociologist Miriam. When Paulo shared a poster celebrating the 150th anniversary of Karl Marx’s Capital, I read him “Eugene Debs Reads Marx in Prison.”

I felt there was a poem in this book for everyone.

My colleagues at the library, who were then discussing nominations for this summer’s One Book, One Oak Park selection, agreed.

Like Howard Zinn in his groundbreaking A People’s History of the United States, Coval uncovers the hidden and suppressed stories of the struggles of ordinary working-class people, especially black people, against economic oppression and racism. He reminds us who the true makers of history are, in poems like “Reversing the Flow of the Chicago River” and “The Eastland Disaster.”

I think this is an important book, a book that we need in these times. Just as the poems excavate hidden and suppressed history in Chicago, they also can remind us of our his-

How did you come to call Oak Park home?

A

s I was reminded about Oak Park’s path to integration, however imperfect [Why I’m proud to be from Oak Park, Ken Trainor, Viewpoints, May 16], I felt a lot of pride and it reminded me of my path in choosing Oak Park as my new home.

I wonder how you got here?

I grew up and lived on the Southeast Side of Chicago (South Chicago, steel mills area) for the first 25 years of my life. This blue-collar-worker, ethnically-varied part of town gave me solid values, a social justice spirit, and a great work ethic. Yet there were few cultural, progressive, or educational opportunities and I felt like a minority.

Even worse, it was a severely toxic environment with the steel mills pumping 24-7. I yearned for a new community that was integrated, progressive, safer and offered me opportunities to root and grow. It was 1975 and time to find a church music job.

I started exploring where to re-root. The rule of thumb when you’re from the South Side was to move farther south, even if that meant Indiana. My whole family had already moved by that time for various reasons.

I loved the Oak Park ad in Chicago magazine: “The People Place” with the stylized tree. I thought, “How cool that a community would advertise and flaunt that they are a people place!” I knew it was an integrated community and I very much wanted that. I asked a friend who lived there, “Are there a lot of churches?” He said yes.

I was studying at the American Conservatory of Music and ready to find a music director and organist job. There were only two job postings, hand-printed on index cards, posted on the bulletin board. One was for Ascension Parish in Oak Park. I made an appointment to interview for the Ascension job and, as soon as I saw the church, it felt very familiar and I had that wonderful intuitive feeling that “this is it.”

I knew I’d get the job and Oak Park would be my new home, but this was 1975, so I had to grow in my job, create a piano teaching practice and save money. I moved to Oak Park in 1977. For my family, my move to Oak Park which is north and west from my home turf, was akin to moving to Alaska (yet only 35-45 minutes away from where I grew up).

It doesn’t take much to be a rebel sometimes!

I remain ever grateful for those synchronicities and the hand-written index card that allowed me to move and root here for decades. My membership and involvement at Unity Temple was also rich, and ultimately where I met my husband. Oak Park has offered me more than I hoped: culture, progressive ideas, a beautiful and cleaner environment with environmentally active people, educational and work opportunities, the ability to write and teach as I shifted into my second career in holistic health practice and education, spiritually expansive churches and ideas, and being surrounded by lots of trees and so many amazing people.

It’s really a perfect community for us. And yes, it is a people place.

How did you come to call Oak Park your home?

Thanks for making Wright Plus a housewalk to remember

Oak Park’s rich architectural history was front and center on Saturday, May 19 at Wright Plus 2018. The annual housewalk presents a rare glimpse inside impeccable, historic homes; the opportunity to explore a variety of architectural forms, from American Prairie style to grand homes inspired by European elegance; and learn about remarkable individuals who shaped history in the village and beyond.

The Frank Lloyd Wright Trust thanks the Oak Park community, which year after year welcomes visitors from across the country and around the world. As owner and preservation steward of Wright’s Home & Studio, the Trust strives to be a good neighbor. Our commitment is generously returned by so many friends and partners. For this we are deeply grateful.

Wright Plus would not be possible without the homeowners who so passionately care for their historic properties and graciously share them. More than 500 volunteers spend hundreds of hours on planning, research and execution to make the housewalk a singular event.

Brookdale is thankful to be in Oak Park

On Thursday, May 17, Brookdale Oak Park, formerly Holley Court Terrace, celebrated our 26th year in the village. There are so many reasons to be thankful for living in a village like this one.

Our residents are of the senior population and while they are able to enjoy many aspects of what it means to be in an active community like ours, they are also able to enjoy all that Oak Park has to offer. From the parks (we love Austin Gardens!) to the shopping (Shout out to our neighbors, Trader Joe’s!) the wonderful restaurants (We’re talking about you, The Little Gem!), the history (Frank Lloyd Wright, Hemingway, and more!) and most of all the amazing people. The diverse and vibrant population is what draws people to this town and keeps them here. Many of our residents raised their families in Oak Park and decided that moving out of the village was not an option. Oak Park has staying power and our seniors planted their roots here and continue to thrive in their town. It is an honor to be a part of this village.

Thank you, Oak Park!

It took a village to create Mills Tower

Thanks to Dan Haley for his nice appreciation of Mills Park Tower and his warm remembrance of Dominic Meo. Yes, the building isn’t attractive, but the beauty lies within, with its wonderful caring atmosphere.

In answer to Dan’s question, the major portion of the site for the building was assembled through the purchase and demolition of several homes along Pleasant Place. The village of Oak Park contributed a portion of the site through the vacation of a part of Pleasant Place, and the Park District of Oak Park contributed a small slice of land to the east of the building currently in the building’s parking lot. A large number of people and organizations banded together to make this possible.

It takes a village.

That is a direct assault on our cultural expression. We cheer. We cheer loudly and proudly. We cheer because we know where we have been as a people and how far we have come. The pride of that moment, getting a diploma, is worthy of multiple cultural expressions of celebrating.

More guns in schools is not the answer

or a teacher, few things are as awful to contemplate as a room full of trusting children faced with an active shooter. Because of the horrific nature of these attacks, we respond by grasping for any immediate solution to stop the murderer.

But when President Trump responded to the Margery Stoneman Douglas High School shooting with the suggestion that teachers be trained to use firearms and then armed in classrooms throughout the U.S., I was stunned. To me, having a weapon with such violent and irreversible power to kill and destroy is the antithesis of what it is to feel safe in a classroom setting. It also multiplies the possibility for more shooting to occur. Nevertheless, this suggestion actually took hold and has become part of the national conversation.

The Chicago Sun Times chose to explore Mr. Trump’s proposition through “31 Bullets,” a campaign to end gun violence.

The first issue they tackled was “guns in classrooms.” Seven Chicagoland teachers were invited to take part in a Public Service Announcement that further explores Mr. Trump’s proposal. On April 14, a cold, windy, rainy day, we learned how to handle, load and shoot a handgun. We were interviewed

in the morning and again in the evening after shooting numerous rounds of live ammunition.

All seven of us, came to the same conclusion: Guns don’t belong in classrooms, period.

I have been a teacher for the past 36 years and am raising two daughters, who are now 13 years old. In every classroom where I’ve taught or sent my daughters (preschool through middle school), the environment has been one of respect and trust; two critical qualities of a safe learning culture. Teachers and students can teach and learn because they trust in the safety of their surroundings.

This is the goal … to feel physically, emotionally and socially safe, so that education can occur.

On that day in April, when I learned to shoot a handgun, I experienced many things, and none of them felt safe. Guns in classrooms create a climate of fear, and invites a new level of violence in schools that we have yet to experience. Imagine disgruntled students or teachers using guns for ill-intended purposes, teachers misidentifying threats and bringing unwanted, unjustified outcomes into school communities, an armed teacher being misidentified as “the shooter,” more bedlam, hysteria and tragedy.

TAKING AIM: Teachers film a commercial opposing the proposal to arm teachers in the classroom.

Guns do not bring peace or a sense of peace. They offer, at best a false sense of security that can go disastrously wrong.

When I think about guns in this country, I get pretty angry. The argument that “guns don’t kill, people do” simply isn’t accurate.

The truth is that guns and people together kill, and for that reason gun deaths in this country’s schools simply can’t be pinned to one or the other. We need to address

mental-health issues and we need to have responsible and enforceable gun laws.

There is no easy fix to this problem, but I am absolutely convinced that more guns in schools, or anywhere else, is not a solution to gun violence.

Father William Bernacki, O.P., 93 Fenwick High School president-principal

Rev. William J. Bernacki, O.P., 93, died on May 13, 2018. A Fenwick Friar for more than 40 years, he was a revered teacher, coach, president-principal, life trustee, and hall-offame recipient of Fenwick High School. An ambassador for Fenwick and witness to the Friar mission, Fr. Bernacki served as Fenwick’s 11th president-principal from 1979 to 1987. His years here also saw him serve as business manager, counselor, golf coach and Fathers Club moderator.

Born in 1924 in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, Fr. Bernacki graduated from Loyola University in 1949, was FATHER WILLIAM called to priesthood BERNACKI and entered the Dominican House of Studies in River Forest, and was ordained on June 16, 1956. In 1959, he began his service to Fenwick by teaching theology, business law, economics, geography, and civics.

Twenty years later, after earning a master’s degree in education and counseling at Loyola University, he was named principal.

In 1987, after nearly 30 years as educator, coach, and administrator, he left Fenwick to become the prior at the Dominican Priory in River Forest and the president of Priory Press. However, he remained active with the high school in a support and advisory role.

He is a member of the Fenwick Hall of Fame, inducted in 1995, and was the 2011 recipient of the school’s Lumen Tranquillum (Quiet Light) Award. Fenwick’s Planned Giving Society is named for Fr. Bernacki.

Through the decades, many alumni and families throughout our community came to know his friendship, commitment and

impact.

“Fr. Bernacki was president-principal when I first joined the Fenwick faculty,” said Fr. Richard Peddicord, O.P., current president. “He always put Fenwick first and made it clear that the students are the visible manifestation of the mission of the school. The flourishing of each and every student was the goal of all of his hard work.”

Funeral arrangements are in process.

Steven Fanning, 71 Associate professor, author, and historian

Steven C. Fanning, PhD, 71, died on May 15, 2018 at his Oak Park home from prostate cancer and Parkinson’s disease. Born on Feb. 17, 1947 in Weatherford, Oklahoma, where his father was a druggist, he held degrees in history from Texas Tech University and his doctorate in medieval history from the University of Minnesota.

He was a historian specializing in late antiquity, the Middle Ages, and mysticism. He retired from the University of Illinois Chicago in 2012 after teachSTEVEN FANNING ing for more than 40 years as an associate professor of medieval history, receiving two Silver Circle awards for teaching excellence.

His research on the history of France in the 10th and 11th centuries resulted in the publication of A Bishop and His World: Hubert of Angers, 1006-1047 and co-translation of The Annals of Flodoard of Reims, 919-966.

His interest in mysticism resulted in the popular book Mystics of the Christian Tradition, the first book to bring all the various Christian mystics together in a single volume. After retirement, he worked from original church records to produce with Charles Chauncey Wells, New North Church: From Birth to Death in Early Boston in 2014 about the largest church in Boston at the time of the Revolution.

After a near-death experience from an asthma attack on a London street in 1988, which left him paralyzed, his recovery was considered a medical miracle achieved through energy healing he learned to do himself and with others’ healing prayers.

This led him to lecture and write about mysticism, near-death experiences, and spiritual healing, culminating in his last book, Adventures in Healing, published in July 2017.

His survivors include his children, Soren (Susan) and Nissa (Damian) Felton; and his grandchildren, Emily Fanning and Malin, Karoline, and Jake Felton.

Funeral services were conducted on May 19 at Grace Episcopal Church where he founded the Intensive Healing Prayer Group and was active in various roles in the liturgy and governance.

Funeral arrangements were coordinated

by Drechsler, Brown & Williams Funeral Home.

Getting Down To Business

Your Passion Defines Your Path

M

By CATHY YEN Executive Director

y son graduated from culinary school this weekend in a lovely ceremony celebrating the hard work, internships and learning required to earn the title “Chef.” We are very proud and excited to follow his future career choices in this wide-open, in-demand field.

With opportunities that range from restaurant to corporate to small business to health and wellness, we are constantly surprised at how many people assume he aspires to be on television. The Food Network, “Chopped,” the “Next Iron Chef.”

Even relatives steer most conversations about his education to whatever they last saw on “The Chew.”

Not only is fame and fortune the

presumptive career goal in our media-driven culture, but competition is as well. My son is passionate about food with the demeanor and lens of an artist, looking to create. Yet people expect that he aspires to win food challenges on reality tv.

So it was with an incredible sense of appreciation and admiration that I took in what Jeff Mauro had to say about his career at last week’s Wednesday Journal Conversations series, co-hosted by Dominican University. Our hometown celebrity chef grew up here, lives here, went to school at OPRF and has succeeded in the world of televised cooking. Jeff was funny, kind, affable and interesting. He engaged the audience from the get-go and had us hanging on every word.

Here’s what he shared: Jeff is a trained performer. He did theatre at OPRF, was voted class clown, studied at Second City, earned a degree in television and radio at Bradley University, acted after college, appeared as

Tony in “Tony and Tina’s Wedding,” moved to LA to try and “make it” and THEN went to culinary school. Not to take away his legitimate skills in the kitchen - but Jeff chose culinary later in life as an avenue to performance, not the other way around.

Jeff Mauro has been on “Chopped” four times. Never say never, but don’t expect to see my son on “Chopped” any time soon. Goals and passion vary by person, regardless of training. Successful business people identify their passion early and parlay that passion into success, acquiring needed training along the way.

FRIARS

Second best from page 60 At the half, the Friars trailed 5-2.

The Redhawks dominated the third quarter as well, outscoring Fenwick 4-1 to take a commanding 9-3 entering the fourth quarter. Alex Figus scored the Friars’ lone goal in the third.

The Redhawks tacked on three more goals to build their insurmountable lead to 12-3 in the fourth quarter. Friars’ Nate Fisher and Ramses Flores each scored a goal in the fourth.

Sanford finished with a game-high four goals, while Russo scored three goals for Naperville Central.

“It was pretty rough,” Soto said after the loss. “But we tried our best and that’s all that matters.”

Perry felt that the play with the “man-up” advantage (equivalent of a power play in ice hockey) between the two teams was critical in terms of the outcome.

“We went 1-for-7 and Naperville Central went 7-for- 9 on the man up,” Perry said. “If you’re wondering how the game went, I think that’s probably the telling stat.”

Perry also cited the Friars’ mental mistakes and subpar passing as problematic during the match. Naperville Central goalie Jonah Klein-Collins was another key deterrent for Fenwick. He finished with 12 saves.

In the semifinals, Fenwick defeated Lyons Township 5-4 in overtime. Dan Lynch scored the game-winning goal for the Friars, who rallied from a pair of two-goal deficits. The Lions won the previous three meetings between the area rivals.

“We played a complete game and never gave up on ourselves,” Perry said. “We went down 2-0 at halftime and then 4-2 late in the game, but we just kept coming back.”

After the highs (win over LTHS) and lows (loss against Naperville Central) at the state tourney, Perry reflected about the season.

“This season was probably one of our oddest seasons in a while,” he said. “The state tournament was the first time all season that we had the entire varsity lineup available.

We played 33 games this year missing at least one varsity contributor.

“We had our ups and downs this season. You never want to lose your last game, but to be able to play in the state championship game on a Saturday night is rewarding.”

Soto, who will play college water polo at California Lutheran, has fond memories about his final campaign with the Friars.

“It was great,” he said. “We got off to a rough start as a lot of us were sick. But we all came together, and we’re happy with how things turned out. I just wish we came out with a win (against Naperville Central). Fenwick is a great program and I was proud to be a part of it.”

Along with Soto, the Friars will lose starting goalie Alejandro Perez, Ben Lulich and James Heneghan to graduation. On the bright side, Fenwick returns team captains Comstock, Lynch and Flores, plus Figus, Fisher and promising sophomore Dan Badja.

“They’re going to be knocking on my door (next week) and asking me, ‘Coach, can we get back in the water?’ I’ll tell them, ‘No, we’re taking a little break,’” Perry said.

“We’re looking forward to next season and the guys are going to be ready to go.”

Fenwick girls sunk by Stevenson After the boys lost 13-5 to Naperville Central in the state title match, the Friars hoped to avoid the same fate in the girls final. Unfortunately, host Stevenson simply had too much offensive firepower for the underdog Friars (24-7).

Junior Paulina Correa’s goal just 15 seconds into the contest gave Fenwick fans cause for optimism. The goal would represent the Friars’ lone lead as the Patriots responded with three unanswered goals en route to an impressive 12-7 win.

After Correa’s goal, Stevenson (35-1) countered with a goal by Kalista Tapas and two by Lauren Maloney, who finished with a match-high six goals.

Kassy Rodriguez cut the Friars’ deficit to one with a goal, but Stevenson’s Amelia Eastman responded with one of her own to power the Patriots to a 4-2 lead after one quarter.

Stevenson’s Claire Haas, an All-American heading to USC in the fall, asserted herself in the second quarter. She scored two goals, including a penalty shot, and Maloney added another goal to give the Patriots a 7-3 halftime lead.

Correa tallied the only goal for the Friars in the second quarter.

The Friars opened the second half well, with goals from Correa and Harper Daniels within the first minute to cut their deficit to 7-5.

Stevenson regained control immediately, scoring three of the next four goals to take a 10-6 advantage after three quarters.

Rodriguez accounted for the Friars’ other goal in the third, which was sandwiched between two more Maloney goals and another by Haas, who finished with three goals and three assists.

After Maloney scored again to begin the fourth quarter, Stevenson goalie Anna Mossakowski came up big for the Patriots as she stopped a penalty shot by Correa. The play proved to be a backbreaker for Fenwick as Eleanor Michaud tallied another Patriots’ goal not long afterwards to put the game away.

Daniels managed to get her second goal later to account for the final scoring.

In the semifinals, the Friars defeated Loyola Academy 17-9.

After a 2-2 tie at the end of the first quarter, Fenwick outscored the Ramblers 14-4 during the middle quarters to essentially secure the victory.

Kassy Rodriguez (6 goals), Millie Sheean (5 goals) and Correa (4 goals) led a balanced attack. Molly McGuire chipped in two goals and an assist, while Daniels dished out three assists. Fenwick goalie Cece Jenkins recorded five saves.

Lauren Voss led Loyola with three goals, while Nicole Kielba and Sarah Pinkerton scored twice.

In the quarterfinals, Fenwick cruised past Lane with an 18-5 win. The Friars overwhelmed Lane with nine goals in the first quarter. Sheean led the way with six goals. Kassy Rodriguez and Correa both scored three times. McGuire added two goals and two assists as eight players scored for Fenwick.

Looking ahead, Fenwick loses five key senior defenders in Sheean, McGuire, Jackie Doyle, Kate Mackie and Isabel Smith to graduation. Plenty of talented players return next year, notably Correa (team-high 79 goals), Daniels, Kassy Rodriguez and starting goalie Sam Rodriguez.

Given the program’s winning tradition (10 state titles), promising players on the lower levels, and the leadership of veteran coach Jack Wagner, Fenwick should be a state title contender next season.

OPRF, Fenwick track well in postseason run Teams finish strong at sectionals, state meet

OPRF girls

By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

The Oak Park and River Forest High School boys track and field team has enjoyed a successful run all spring. The Huskies, who won the indoor and outdoor West Suburban Conference championships, added a sectional title to their impressive list of accomplishments over the weekend.

OPRF cruised to the Proviso East Sectional championship, outscoring runner-up Lane Tech 198-65. The Huskies dominated the competition with seven winners and multiple runners-up in the individual events, plus strong relays, which are headed to the state finals.

“The team obviously performed well at sectionals,” OPRF coach Tim Hasso said. “Our goal as a program is to produce at state. We’ve got some pieces in place to do that, but we’ve got to put our season-best numbers in the book on Friday (state meet preliminaries) to punch our tickets for Saturday’s finals.”

On the track, OPRF dominated the hurdles races. Junior JT Lowder won the 110 hurdles (14.37 seconds) and junior Koren Leonard placed first in the 300 hurdles at 38.83.

Lowder also notched second in the 300 hurdles (39.68), while Leonard returned the favor with a second-place showing in the 110 (14.68). The versatile Lowder qualified for a third state meet event by taking second in the long jump at 22 feet, 6 inches.

In the middle and distance running events, Owen Savoy claimed the 800-meter title (1 minute, 58 seconds), while Matthew Vietzen recorded a time of 4:19.81 as a runner-up in the 1,600.

In field events, senior Noah Kowal and sophomore Josh Cotter both cleared 14-0 in pole vault to share first place.

The Huskies finished first and second in several other field events, including the shot put, triple jump and discus throw. Juniors Keon Gilbert (50-05) and Mykolas Saloninas (48-08) took the top two spots in shot put, while senior Kevin Gilbert (136-10) and junior Izaiah Ruffin (134-10) finished the same in discus. In the triple jump, junior Kwesi Yeboah won with a jump of 44-11, followed by teammate Myles MoletteHughes at 44-9.5.

Promising freshman Nahlyee Bryant came in second in the 100 (11.39) and 200 (22.87) races.

OPRF garnered a first-place finish in the 400 relay (42.35) and a pair of seconds in the 800 relay (1:29.38) and 1,600 relay (3:23.86).

Although the Huskies finished 61st in the team standings at the Class 3A state meet, several athletes performed well in their respective events.

OPRF produced a pair of top 10 finishers in the pole vault as senior Margaret Dring and freshman Yasmin Ruff both cleared 11-0. In another field event, sophomore Passion Worsham placed 10th in the triple jump (37-6.5).

The versatile Worsham also qualified for state in the 100 and 300 hurdles.

Junior Violet Harper earned 28th in the 3,200 with a time of 12:13.03.

Fenwick boys The Fenwick boys team finished eighth (31 points) at the Glenbard South Sectional.

St. Laurence (125) won the sectional, followed by Montini (79), Evergreen Park (66), St. Rita (56) and Glenbard South (51).

Fenwick qualified its 3,200 relay team and triple-jumper Matthew Augustyn for the state finals.

Augustyn, a senior, came in second with a triple jump measure of 43-5.

“Matt set a personal-best by 2 feet and qualified by time and mark with a jump of 43 feet, 5 inches,” said Fenwick coach Marcus McKinley. “Considering that he missed winning the triple jump by about 3 inches as the fifth seed, it was a remarkable accomplishment.”

The 3,200 team placed first with a time of 8:33.24.

“The 3,200 relay team will be spending our short week working on speed,” McKinley said. “Matt [Augustyn] will be able to focus on triple jump, which should help him with his goal of setting a new school record and making it into the finals on Saturday.”

OPRF sophomore Passion Worsham finished tenth in the triple jump (37-6.5) at the IHSA state finals.

The Friars scored eight points at state to earn a share of 29th place with four other schools.

Junior pole vaulter Claire Gatermann set a new school record, clearing 11-0 in the preliminaries Friday. She cleared 10-6 to finish 13th in the finals.

Fenwick excelled in the 3,200 as a relay and individuals.

In the 3,200 relay, freshman Maria Quinn, junior Laura Durkin, sophomore Marie O’Brien and junior Maggie Van Ermen recorded a time of 9:42.81 to earn sixth in the state.

Senior Margaret O’Brien (11:19.20) and freshman Katie

Cahill (12:33.99) placed sixth and 18th, respectively, in the 3,200.

Other notable results in the prelims included junior Colleen Grogan’s 48.19 in the 300 hurdles and senior Emma Hackett’s 90-03 in discus.

“Colleen is just starting to hurdle again after an injury,” Fenwick coach Dale Heidloff said. “Her [prelim] time at state was two seconds better than her season best.”

The team has scored 292 runs and is hitting .427 with a .488 on-base percentage. OPRF thrives with a merry-go-round offense.

Taylor Divello, Zoe Prouty and Cassie Metzger have formed a solid pitching staff as well. Head coach Mel Kolbusz has even added a new wrinkle, using the uber-athletic Nelson as a reliever lately just to give teams something else to think about in the postseason.

The Huskies open the playoffs at home this week. Barring an epic upset against the winner of Jones vs. Proviso East, OPRF will play in Saturday’s regional final (11 a.m.) against either visiting Lane or St. Ignatius.

While OPRF also fielded a very balanced team team last year, pitcher Chardonnay Harris clearly assumed the primary role in winning a second straight state championship. The two-time All-State selection tossed a one-hitter with 16 strikeouts in a 1-0 win over Lincoln-Way East in the 4A championship game.

Of course, Huskie fans won’t soon forget catcher Mariah Scott won that game, fittingly, on a walk-off home run.

Fenwick water polo takes second in state Boys, girls teams both finish as state runners-up to cap off memorable season

Fenwick senior Ivan Soto played a key role in the Friars’ success this season. He will attend and play water polo at California Lutheran University next season.

Let us know we’ll hold your paper!

Contributing Reporter

enwick water polo fans left Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire with a bittersweet feeling Saturday night.

Both the boys and girls teams advanced to the state championship match in convincing fashion, only to fall one victory shy of their annual goal. Collectively, the Friars have won 30 state championships (20 boys, 10 girls).

The boys team certainly felt confident entering its matchup against Naperville Central in the state final. However, the Friars’ hopes of winning state were all but doused early as the Redhawks scored the first four goals of the match en route to a 13-5 victory.

“Naperville Central is very physical and fast,” Fenwick coach Kyle Perry said. “They pass and shoot the ball well and have great team chemistry. They’re definitely deserving of being state champs.

“We thought if we put up a good effort, we could give them a good game,” Perry added. “But they were able to do what they wanted to do. Their defense is so good and their goalie played awesome.”

Cam Dougherty’s goal gave Naperville Central (34-1) a 1-0 lead about 90 seconds into the game.

Then Bender Russo scored a goal and Brad Sanford added two more goals to increase the Redhawks’ lead to 4-0 after the first quarter.

Fenwick didn’t score until 49 seconds into the second quarter when Payton Comstock found the back of the net. The Friars’ Ivan Soto added another goal, which came after a goal by Naperville Central’s Dominic May. See FRIARS on page 57
