Foam flakes turn Pleasant District into snow globe

Construction contractor faces fines for building material litter By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

Winter came early for the area around Marion Street and South Boulevard, according to business owners and residents near that intersection in Oak Park’s Pleasant District. That’s because of a virtual blizzard of tiny flakes from insulation boards being installed at the 250-unit luxury apartment building under construction at 1133 South Boulevard. The flakes are similar in size to the white material inside of a snow globe and have found their way into every nook and cranny in the area. That includes cracks in the bluestone sidewalks, brock streets, grassy areas and parkways, parked cars and a number of businesses and residences as far south as Pleasant Street. Larger flakes of foam insulation also were littered around the construction site and could be found in nearby streets and alleys. Oak Park Chief Building Official Steve Cutaia said in a telephone interview that Romeoville-based Kole Construction, a subcontractor for the project by Lincoln Properties, has See PLEASANT DISTRICT on page 14

Pomp and ‘changed’ circumstances By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

Since 1877, Oak Park and River Forest High School seniors have, with a few exceptions, worn dresses and suits to commencement, which has historically been held on the high school’s campus. During this year’s commencement, however, the venerable suits and skirts will likely give way to navy blue caps and gowns, and the ceremony

During a committee of the whole meeting on Oct. 16, administration officials recommended that District 200 school board members vote to approve the attire and venue changes. The board is scheduled to vote on the change of venue during an Oct. 25 regular meeting. A vote on the attire change could happen sometime in November. Technically, no board vote is needed in order See CAPS AND GOWNS on page 12

New senior facility likely River Forest’s third highest taxpayer

Once constructed at the corner of Chicago and Harlem avenues, village officials expect a new senior care facility to be the third-largest taxpayer in River Forest, with an equalized assessed valuation (EAV) estimated at $6.8 million. At a village board meeting on Oct. 15, River Forest village trustees voted unanimously to approve The Sheridan at River Forest, a four-story, 125-unit senior living home at 800-826 N. Harlem Ave. Developer Senior Lifestyle and the Kaufman Jacobs investment firm pro-

posed the plan. At the meeting, village officials said The Sheridan also should provide more than $400,000 in annual tax revenue to school districts 90 and 200, without adding additional stress on to the districts since the memory care and assisted living residents will not attend the schools. The new development will likely mark the third-largest taxpayer in the village. River Forest Town Center One is the highest taxpayer in River Forest, with an EAV of a little more than $11 million

Art adds depth to rehab therapy

By MICHELLE DYBAL

Contributing Reporter

ospital stays are difficult. Some are even more difficult when they are long-term and paired with necessary therapies to prepare for better functioning after certain surgeries or serious injuries. When that rehabilitation takes place in an inviting atmosphere, however, the patient’s outlook can change. “With hospitals, in most cases, this is the darkest season in this person’s life, or of this person’s family’s life, and it’s very important to have beauty or a calming, aesthetically-pleasing environment as much as possible,” said Sarah Landon, West Suburban Medical Center occupational therapist. The Subacute Rehabilitation Gym went from plain to painted one weekend when Landon bedecked the walls where physical, occupational, and speech therapies take place at the hospital. “Therapy Woods” in the physical therapy room has four trees surrounding equipment, such as mat tables, parallel bars, stairs, weighted sticks and wall bars. Each tree represents a season, with pink-tinged flowers floating from the branches of the spring tree, a hint of a breeze almost in the air. The summer tree has a small caterpillar, inspired by one of Landon’s coworkers. Fall is represented by another tree starting to shed its leaves, although there’s nothing to rake from the floor. Winter is a pair of trees flanking the opening to another smaller room, a hint of snow on their branches with no chill in the air. Instead, the space is filled with the warmth of therapists who move through the area. In the occupational therapy room, there is a willow tree, with branches hanging down, green leaves spreading around the room. One patient, Bob Stewart, benefited from the change. Due to health issues and surgery, he has been using the Subacute Rehabilitation Gym for physical and occupational therapies as part of his recovery. “I’ve been here for so many months,” said Stewart, who lived with his wife Adele in

Oak Park for 40 years before moving to Westchester. “[The art] makes me feel better. I was really surprised when I found out it was one of the people who worked there.” Landon is a self-taught artist who took up painting while attending graduate school for occupational therapy in California. “Once I was done with my first year, it wasn’t as demanding time-wise as I thought it was going to be,” she said. “I just started painting.” Selling her canvasses for $50, by the end of her program she had sold 100 paintings to her classmates. Landon also exhibited monthly at Long Beach art shows. “In Long Beach, they love originals, so I was constantly moving canvases,” she said. This led to making prints of the paintings, which sold better when she moved to Chicago. Here she also started doing murals. Others in the department knew about Landon’s art and wanted her to create murals in the rehab gym. Approval secured, she got to work and competed the project in 10 hours on a Sunday in May. “I think woods and trees are a peaceful medium and it produces a healing effect. One patient said, ‘It’s like your seasons of life. Right now, I’m getting better and I’m in winter, but I will be in spring and then it will be summer again.’” Other patients tell their therapists it gives them something to focus on while doing their rehab. Stewart finds the art to have just the right balance for the space. Now 86, he was an architect before he retired. “I went to school under Mies van der Rohe and one of his sayings is ‘Less is More,’” Stewart said. “When you do something like that you tend to do too much. What she did was just right. It’s inspirational. It’s the right amount of picture for the space.” When Landon is not working full time as a therapist at West Suburban, she is often painting. She currently has artwork showing at Block 37 in Chicago, murals at various locations in the city, and sells prints online. More on Sarah Landon’s art at arcanuminheritance.com.

Micro-urban Oak Park

ak Park is attempting to kill seven birds with one marketing campaign. That may prove problematic as the seven birds are a diverse flock made up of the seven “partner agencies” that currently receive funding from the village. Each has its purpose, but beyond the greater good of Oak Park, those purposes are fairly divergent. That didn’t stop the village board, plagued in perpetuity by earnest requests from the partners for money to market their good efforts, from clumping all of them into a single bucket, giving the bucket’s handle to the Oak Park Economic Development Corporation and decreeing a shared marketing campaign. That was 18 months ago. Last week, after determined collaboration among the seven sisters, a pretty fair marketing campaign was hatched, though — not a surprise — it tilts toward the interests of OPEDC. Just how robustly the Housing Center, Residence Corporation, Arts Council, Downtown Oak Park, the Chamber and Visit Oak Park make use of the concept and the collateral, we will find out. OPEDC says it spent $123,000, mostly village government funds, with Sasaki, a Boston-based consultant, which already had worked in Oak Park on the now semi-forever-stalled “wayfinding system.” They did the usual consulting things — talking to stakeholders, comparing and contrasting Oak Park with other towns and neighborhoods (Hyde Park, Evanston and, with a backhand compliment, Berwyn), taking a deep dive into typography and color palettes — and then came to conclusions and proposals. There are some nuggets here that I find fascinating. Listed among Oak Park’s challenges are: “We want to be cutting edge but are not taking the necessary risks.” They’ve been watching America to Me. “We are not as economically and racially diverse as we say.” Of course, the taxes are too high. And, in some really-not-taking-a-risk use of language, Oak Park faces “challenging boundary conditions” with Chicago. It was the conversations with three principals of recent housing developments in downtown Oak Park that got to the heart of what OPEDC likely wants to build off of. Each of the three deemed their projects a success. But they were plain in saying that for their high-end, mostly-rental projects they weren’t selling what Oak Park has traditionally sold. It’s not the schools. It’s not the history. It’s not diversity. Downtown, they are selling what the consultant called “a micro-urban environment.” That

translates to walkable, safe, restaurantheavy, independent business-infused. A “college town without the students,” they called it. The marketing campaign — which will debut in a magazine focused on economic development before it rolls out to digital incarnations, out-of-home placements along the Green Line embankment, and in the empty windows of the old Marshall Field’s — melds two ideas. The first, and remember this isn’t history that is being peddled, is “legacy.” And blending, with optimistic snark, is Oak Park’s “idiosyncratic and surprising” modern day. That explains the proposed bus shelter ad with Homer Simpson’s head (Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer, is a native) atop a riding lawn mower and the headline, “Where Broad Lawns Meet Colorful Characters.” With this effort, Oak Park won’t be our first neighbor to latch onto the convergence of city and suburb. Berwyn has been plastering city billboards for years with the message “Nothing Like a Suburb.” And 15 years ago a crazy bright batch of merchants in Forest Park coined “Urban Suburban” as their mantra. Oak Park’s take is “Where Else?” “The Best of All Worlds” and “Where the City Begins” although they’ll need to watch out for those “challenging boundary conditions.”

Oak Park Visitor Center to close at year’s end

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

It’s a brave new world for tourism marketing, and the days of frequenting visitor centers to learn more about an area are on the wane. It’s all about online tour guides and apps now, according to Visit Oak Park’s new president and chief executive officer, Eric Wagner. That’s why Wagner, who was brought on at Visit Oak Park in June, is closing the Oak Park Visitor Center at the end of the year and plans to redirect the center’s $150,000 annual subsidy toward digital marketing. “I came in and looked at the budget and realized we just need to reallocate those dollars into marketing and advertising,” said Wagner, who previously served as assistant deputy director at the Illinois Office of Tourism. Tourism is changing, he said, and digital marketing will reach more people, encouraging them to visit Oak Park and other communities in the western suburbs. Oak Park is one of 18 communities marketed under the Visit Oak Park tourism organization, but the village is the only one to contribute dollars to the effort. That’s why the village gets naming rights for the organization. The village contributes $212,000 from the hotel/motel tax and $37,500 from the general revenue fund to the marketing effort, and roughly $485,000 comes from the state of Il-

SO LONG, VISITORS CENTER: Visit Oak Park is closing its visitors center later this year and directing the $150,000 in funds toward digital marketing. linois, Wagner said. For every dollar contributed by the village, the state adds about two dollars, Wagner said.

Roughly $150,000 of that has gone toward running the visitors center and funding visitors services, he said. Rather than running the center, that $150,000 will be used on a digi-

tal marketing campaign, which aims to bring more people to the village and the western suburbs, Wagner told Wednesday Journal. Visit Oak Park is working with the travel marketing firm TimeZoneOne to create an updated website with itineraries, photography and video “that inspire people to come here and stay longer,” he said. The bureau is also working with Meredith Corporation — publisher of Better Homes & Gardens, Midwest Living, Travel + Leisure, Family Circle, and a number of other travel-related publications — to create an “inspiration guide” for visitors. That guide will be distributed to Midwest Living’s 350,000 readers in six states. That guide is expected to go out in May or June of 2019, Wagner said. The third leg of the marketing stool goes toward digital marketing and advertising, he said. The Visitor Center will be open through the end of the year, but no date has been set for its closure. The shop, which features print guides to the area and work by local artisans, is currently selling all its inventory for 15 percent off. Wagner is also looking at new opportunities for center volunteers and working to find new venues for the work by local artists featured in the store. “At the end of the day, it’s a cost-benefit thing,” he said. tim@oakpark.com

Troubled corner store to become dentist’s office

Drug sales out of Austin Pantry led to 17 charges By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

It’s been just over a year since Oak Park police busted a convenience store employee at the corner of Chicago Avenue and Austin Boulevard, charging him with 17 counts of heroin sales and possession. The village of Oak Park revoked Austin Pantry’s business license and an appeal was denied by the Oak Park Business License Appeal Board last October. Residents and other business owners in the area said drug dealing out of the store at 1 Chicago Ave. was only part of the problem with Austin Pantry. The sales brought more drug dealing outside the establishment for several months prior to the arrest of Austin Pantry employee Edgar Lucas. But now, the shop at 1 Chicago Ave., which has been vacant for over a year, will soon become a dentist’s office, according to a press release from David King & Associates, which brokered the deal. Destiny Dental Care will not only take the storefront at the former Austin Pantry but also the adjacent A+ Cuts barber shop to the west. That barber shop already has located

ElSaffar expressed regret about the arrest made in 2017, noting that he purchased the property in the mid-1990s with the goal of making a good investment and doing something good for the neighborhood. “That’s why I felt so bad, because the opposite of my goal is what happened,” he said, adding, “I wanted to make sure it never happens again.” He noted that Destiny Dental, which has 22 locations in the Midwest, accepts most insurance including Medicaid. Illinois expanded Medicaid to include reimbursement of ALI ELSAFFAR dental costs in 2014 Building owner and further expanded coverage for preventative dental care in the summer of 2018. ElSaffar said the dentist’s office is a good compliment to Oak Street Health, a healthcare provider that accepts Medicaid at 18 Chicago Ave. tim@oakpark.com

DENTIST OFFICE COMING: A dentist’s office will replace the former Austin Pantry, which was closed last year when one of its employees was busted selling heroin out of the establishment. half a block away to 22 Chicago Ave., opening under the name Rayzor’s Edge Cuts. The dentist’s office will take the entire 2,100-square-foot storefront in the 110-year-old mixed-use building, according to King. It is expected to open in the first quarter of 2019. The owner of the property, Ali ElSaffar,

who also serves as Oak Park Township Assessor, said in a telephone interview that he has renovated the building, installing new windows to the storefront and removing asbestos tiles, among other improvements. He tells Wednesday Journal he “wanted to turn that corner around.”

OPTIONS continued from page 17 guided by what’s best for the kids and how do we build and enhance the relationship?” While Ambrose says the majority of OPRF grads pursue two- or four-year college degrees, that is not the end goal of the counseling program. Formal tools such as Naviance not only provide aid in the college search, but also help students explore personality traits and strengths to determine what kinds of fields of study or careers might be a good fit in the future. She says, “The overarching umbrella is that we have an individualized focus for each student at each grade level.” According to counselor Esteban Medina the school is seeing growing student interest in other post-high school options. Last year, the school began offering nursing classes at the school, and on completion, students can sit for a certificate that will allow them to apply for jobs in the field. The cosmetology program has expanded into a two-year program, allowing successful students to graduate from high school with a cosmetology certificate. This year, OPRF is also hosting an apprenticeship exposition, which will be open to students throughout the area and offers access to trades such as plumbing, carpentry, electrical and construction work. An Additional Pathways program in the spring recognizes that not all students seek out four-year colleges and that there are

Medina notes that the Additional Pathways presentation drew interest not just from families of juniors and seniors, but from younger families as well. “People are very relieved to know that there are a lot of viable options beyond four-year colleges. We cover four main areas: certificate programs, associate degrees, going directly into the world of work and the military.”

Counselor Jacqueline Hanson says that for freshman, they use the word “post-secondary” intentionally, because at this point students are often not aware of the wealth of opportunities available at the school that could help them determine areas of interest. With programs such as entrepreneur skills, culinary classes, theater, child development, interior design, radio announcing, engineering, auto shop, woodworking and technology classes

Post-secondary Plans, Class of 2017

Plans include 4 and 2-year college, military, work and other; and reflect the final transcripts that were submitted on behalf of a student. The graph shows the students in the class of 2017 with post-secondary plans disaggregated by race.

as well as certificate programs in cosmetology and certified nursing assistant (CNA) programs, the counselors try to make students aware of all of their options in the early stages of high school. Hanson says, “We create a four-year plan that lays out classes, with postsecondary plans in mind, or if they don’t know what they want to do, we go based on their current interests. The document guides us for the next four years, but it is very flexible.” She stresses that the plan is not an unwavering track. “We never ‘track.’ Students are in the lead with these plans. We follow, and we support. We never assume the plan includes a fouryear college, and we never assume it does not.” By junior year, the counselors are working with students and families to really hone in on what the kids want to do after high school. College callers visit the school in the spring and fall, including representatives from over 300 four-year colleges, two-year colleges, art schools, technology schools and the military. By senior year, counselors are meeting with their students frequently in the fall to help them with the college application process or with the requirements for their chosen path. If the student wants to enroll in a certificate program or the military, their counselors help them determine the prerequisites and how to meet them. At the end of the day, the choice of

a post-secondary path reflects years of work by students, their families and their counselors. Ambrose says, “We start with healthy, strong learning skills in ninth grade, build on this every year and add layers such as standardized testing and college or career preparation. When families are involved in this, it’s so much richer.”

Straight to college is not the only path Welding, automotive and the military were best options for these OPRF grads

hen he graduated from Oak Park and River Forest High School in 1987, Devin Pepper recalls “Oak Park was one of those towns where everyone goes right to college and then figures it out.” He wanted to be a commercial pilot and instead enrolled in vocational classes at Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in Tulsa. During his first sequence of classes focused on aircraft mechanics, he determined that path was not for him. He returned home and took some classes at Triton before he met with an Air Force recruiter. He wanted to see the world, so he enlisted, thinking he might do a tour with Desert Storm and move on from the military. Over 29 years later, he’s now Colonel Devin Pepper, commander of the 21st Operations Group, 21st Space Wing at Peterson Air Force Base Colorado. He eventually finished college and officers’ training school and earned two Masters degrees, and says his long military career is quite the accomplishment given that the military wasn’t even on his radar in high school. He says, “When I was in Oak Park, military service just

wasn’t talked about. I never would have thought I’d be in the military service when I was in high school.” The gap between high school and enlisting gave him perspective, and he thinks that remains a valuable tool for many. “You can take some time to think or travel and figure out what you want to do. Find yourself and be useful without getting thousands of dollars in debt.” Peter Hostrawser founded Disrupt Education after working over 14 years at OPRF. Now at Glenbard East High School, he says that his years in high schools have shown him that a lot of students are disengaged with the education process and heading to college but not staying there long. He says the two biggest reasons kids drop out of college are financial and not feeling as if they are working towards something they’re interested in. He’s interviewed over 80 students and wants to improve the post-secondary success of kids by helping them identify their passions through networking, job shadowing and mentoring programs. He’s in Oak Park Thursday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Oak Park’s Main Library, working with local students to help them learn more about how they can set themselves up on the right path. Recent graduate Tom Herner is living the advice to follow your passion rather

than blindly moving on to college after high school. As a freshman, he told his OPRF counselor that college was not for him and that he wanted to be a professional welder. He recalls his counselor “almost dropped to the floor.” Herner took a few welding classes with his cabinet-maker father and then started working on his own after graduating in 2017. Today, he works for his father’s business and is adding his forged hardware to certain pieces. Ezra Israelsohn graduated from OPRF in 2012. While at the school he enrolled in Nicholas Michalek’s automotive courses when he was looking for a schedule filler. It ended up setting him on the road to a career in automotive technology. “Before auto class at OPRF, I didn’t know what I wanted to do after graduation. I knew college was there, but I wasn’t really racing for it.” Although he was the first in his extended family not to go to a four-year college, Israelsohn notes that his parents were very supportive. He enrolled in WyoTech’s nine-month vocational program and within 48 hours of graduation had a job offer in hand. He credits Michalek with bringing in people to talk about the field. “When I was in high school, most people really didn’t talk about the trades. You can get really

Rudy Gamez, didn’t see the military as an option while in high school. good jobs that don’t require four years of education after high school.” Greg Johnson, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction at OPRF, agrees that is time to do away with the stigma that vocational education is lesser than. “That’s the old way of thinking. This can be for all of our students. We’re thinking about how we serve our population as a whole.” Johnson points to programs like Project Lead the Way, which offers students dual credit courses in engineering as well as similar programs in

automotive work and woodworking as current in-school offerings that allow students to get a leg-up on post-secondary life. He also notes that OPRF is exploring expanding its options under the state’s Post-Secondary and Workforce Readiness Act. “It’s a competency-based pilot that focuses on students earning credits based on mastery of a concept versus hours in the classroom. It can free up time to allow students to fit in the state requirements for high school while adding in more options.”

or some graduates and parents at Oak Park and River Forest High School, the state of postsecondary preparation — in the form of career and technical education; electives like film and culinary arts; and extracurricular activities — has been strong for years. What may make it stronger for some students who may feel left out

of these offerings? Perhaps even more individualized attention to students’ specific social, emotional and intellectual needs, say an outspoken OPRF parent and a nonprofit report. “I feel that OPRF has a lot of different clubs and activities for students to do,” said Alex Albers, a documentary film editor based in San Francisco. “They’re a great way to utilize the school’s many resources.” She said that the process of finding her professional path was ignited in a

film and video class at her alma mater. “We were doing music videos and infomercials,” said Albers, a 2004 OPRF graduate who edited a short documentary called “Women’s March” that recently screened in Oak Park. Cerissa Arnieri, a 1998 graduate of OPRF whose son graduated from the school in 2014, said that she remembers all kinds of trade courses available to students when she attended, such

Shrinking the readiness gap one course at a time

12th Grade Benchmarks Met, Class of 2017

OPRF is integrating racial consciousness into curriculum changes By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

he number of black/African American and Latinx students at Oak Park and River Forest High School who have met all three benchmarks of post-secondary readiness is gradually improving, but the gap between white students and students of color stubbornly persists. Recently, the district has focused its efforts to shrink that readiness gap on a series of data and curriculum improvements. According to D200 data, only 38 percent of black/African American students in the class of 2017 had at least two indicators of post-secondary readiness — those indicators include an unweighted GPA of at least 2.7, sufficient course rigor (i.e., whether or not a student has completed honors or AP courses), and an ACT composite score of at least 21 or an SAT composite score of at least 1060. By comparison, 71 percent, 89 percent and 92 percent of Latinx, white and Asian students, respectively, had at least two benchmark indicators. Over the last year, District 200 has taken a number of actions to more effectively measure those racial disparities and to closely monitor the progress

of its equity-related programs. Those actions include hiring an information services firm to do empirical research on the effectiveness of the high school’s equity-related programs and partnering with Equal Opportunity Schools, an education equity organization based in Seattle, to enroll nearly 200 minority and low-income students into AP courses. This school year, the district introduced new guidelines designed to regularly measure the effectiveness of instructional programs and provide students with a curriculum that ensures that they have equal access to content and learning opportunities, said Greg Johnson, the district’s assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. In October, Johnson outlined the creation of the district’s new Curriculum Evaluation and Design Manual, which launched this school year. The manual is the beginning of a broader curriculum evaluation and implementation process “that will continue throughout the next several school years,” Johnson said. Johnson added that the district will use Courageous Conversations About Race, a book by Glenn Singleton and Curtin Linton to help faculty and staff develop their own “racial consciousness,” something essential to the dis-

She’s also a test case for how effectively OPRF prepares all students for life beyond high school — not just those who Brown describes as “neuro-typical.” “My daughter is slipping through the cracks,” said Brown, a technology sales professional who is also a single mother. “She’s on the autism spectrum and I have grave concerns that she is not being adequately prepared for when she leaves OPRF.” According to Brown, OPRF is a

The OPRFHS Assessment and Research Department reviewed student data over an extended period of time which revealed that the following three academic indicators as indicative of post-secondary readiness: 1. An unweighted GPA of 2.7 or above 2. An Academic Program Index greater than 1.0 (whether the student has taken honors or AP classes) 3. An ACT composite score of 21 or higher or a SAT composite score of (1060-1090) or higher The above graph shows the racial disaggregation of students who had 0,1,2 or 3 of these indicators in the class of 2017.

trict achieving greater equity. This culturally responsive approach to teaching, he said, will help guide the development of a curriculum based on social emotional learning and flexible instruction that is tailored to each students’ abilities. The evaluation and design of the revised curriculum will also include input from community stakeholders. The new culturally sensitive and more individualized curriculum may take at least six years before its fully

great school if your child is “smart, self-motivated, self-driven and able to function independently … that’s your neuro-typical kid. They’ll do fine, but if your student is anything but that, they’ll probably not do extraordinarily well at that school. They won’t know what resources are available.” Brown said that her daughter is considering a music career, but her IEP only focuses on preparations for college. “They only talk about the college path,” she said. “In fact, it’s written

implemented at all grade levels. In the meantime, the district has enacted more immediate curriculum changes designed to broaden the appeal of courses and to connect them to post-secondary pathways and dual credit experiences, Johnson noted in a recent outline of roughly a dozen course revisions for the 2019-20 school year. For instance, one revision includes changing a guitar and songwriting course to allow students who don’t

into her IEP, specifically, that the student will begin to fill out college applications and essays. They know full well that she wants to become a musician, but they haven’t individualized her plan to reflect this. I’ve done all the work in terms of sending her to music school in the summer and doing those kind of things.” Brown’s experience seems to bolster the findings in a new report released by the education advocacy nonprofit Stand for Children. The report points out that nowa-

play instruments or sing the opportunity to enroll. Currently, there are only a handful of courses for students who don’t play traditional ensemble instruments. The change, Johnson said, “is designed to address inequity” within OPRF’s current music offerings. “Our students are active partners in our curriculum; as a result, our aim is to engage their natural tendency toward creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment,” Johnson said.

days, effective postsecondary preparedness needs to be about more than just course offerings, extracurricular activities and counselors checking on students’ graduation requirements or college and financial aid applications. Schools should also put resources into providing students with individualized social and emotional support while preparing them for life after high school, the report explains. Teachers and staff should look at “students as individuals,” Brown said, not “as a typical population.”

BUILDING HOPE: Lurana Brown and Steve Lefko have created Hope Houses, a business that manufactures hand-crafted dollhouses that come with their own stories. For each house sold, another is donated to a local children’s charity.

Creating homes for the imagination River Forest woodworker, writer’s Hope Houses bring magic to kids

By LACEY SIKORA

Contributing Reporter

hen River Forest resident Steve Lefko retired from the corporate world to be a stay-at-home dad for his two daughters eight years ago, it didn’t take him long to come up with a way to fill his spare time. An avid woodworker, he created a dollhouse for his own kids. When his wife Kim came home from a work event with a gift request during the holidays for a child in need, he built another to donate. Before he knew it, he was building more

than 50 dollhouses a year in his garage workshop. Inspired by the first house he donated, he decided that for each house he sold to a paying customer, he would donate another to a local charitable organization, such as Hephzibah or Marillac St. Vincent Family Services. Lefko notes that his background taught him the importance of creative play. “I’m a scientist, and science shows us that creativity and healthy play are good for developing brains,” he said. Lefko wanted his houses to help the kids who received them in more ways than one. “I always wanted a family, and I’m fortu-

nate enough to have my own,” he said. “Data shows that kids who don’t know family are at the greatest risk.” For him, giving the dollhouses to kids without families of their own was more than just offering them a toy. It was a way to allow them to imagine the kind of future they wanted to have one day. Lefko thought there must be some way to imbue his houses with the importance of home and family. As luck would have it, he met a fellow parent, Lurana Brown, on the school playground who shared his vision about creative play, and who worked with him to create a storybook to accompany each house.

“I loved the thought of doing something not just for the sake of giving the kids something but to give them a stage to imagine a better life,” Brown said. “The storybooks help do that. They are more a tool for imagination than a gift.” The two called the business Hope Houses. “Hope is the belief that you can realize what you imagine,” Lefko said. “When you’re working with an organization like Hephzibah, these kids can’t imagine what a life is like surrounded by family.” They incorporated two years ago, recently See HOPE HOUSES on page 23

HOPE HOUSES Creative play from page 21 opened a workshop at 6311 Roosevelt Road in Berwyn and are quietly bringing some magic to scores of children throughout the local community. The first and most traditional house model is called the Merry House. The Victorian style home, like all of the Hope Houses, comes with what Lefko calls the brand’s “q:” a keyhole window in the house which lines up with a piece of artwork on the interior wall with an inspiring message. Two other houses, Climb, which is shaped alike a tree house, and Joy, a smaller home, were influenced by feedback from the local charities. These models have backs that close so they are easily transportable – a boon for children who might move a lot; and they have a special slot to hold the accompanying storybook, so that the books stay with the house. While some assume that a dollhouse only appeals to girls, the tree house, with its pirate look-out and trap door is meant to provide creative play options to all genders. Lefko and Brown realized that there was

GROWING: Steve Lefko (above) started building dollhouses for his own kids, but the hobby grew into a full-time job with one eye on helping children who don’t have family support systems. Lurana Brown (below) creates the storybooks that go with each custom-made house and allow children to creatively interact with the characters and the house. room in the market place for more affordable options, and this holiday season, they are rolling out an entrepreneurial village. The small stores include a bakery, pet shop and hardware store. Each store will come with its own story. “All are first-person stories about a typical day in the life of the store owner,” Brown said. “We purposefully don’t give the main characters a gender so that kids can read them and feel like they are the owner. We end each book with open-ended journal questions to motivate the kids to think about what their dreams are.” At the lower end of the scale, Hope Houses

is also rolling out four wooden toys this year. For every toy purchased, one is donated to one of the local charitable agencies. Lefko notes that their workshop allows them to welcome in groups who want to help assemble the kits. Recently a group of Berwyn firefighters came in to assemble toy kits for the Pav YMCA.

Success stories For Lefko and Brown the motivating factor is hearing how children in need play with their houses and are impacted by the gifts. Lefko recalls meeting one of the recipients of the houses at Marillac St. Vincent. “I showed her the Joy Lives Here book and read her the dedication,” he said. “I told her, ‘There’s a person who thought of you when she wrote this.’ Six months later I heard from one of the adults at Marillac that the little 9-year old girl couldn’t read yet, but she carried that book around every day and was determined to learn to read it.” Each house donated to a partner agency comes complete with a family and furniture. Lefko and Brown say that at Hephzibah the children enjoy making the peg dolls look like themselves and decorating the houses with markers and crafts. To aid in the decorating process, the Hope House website includes a blog called the Key Holder’s Club, and each house comes with an introductory brochure to the club. The blog is meant to spark the creative process in the new homeowners and includes tips and instructions for upcycling items to decorate

the houses with. Recent projects include painting the plastic shell from a gumball machine prize to create a grill, or creating a pet turtle from pistachio shells. “The whole idea is giving parents and kids the tools to fuel their imaginations,” Lefko said. The pair also realize that being able to give is a gift in itself. Recently, teenagers from Berwyn’s Youth Crossroads came to the workshop to build houses. The teens then delivered the houses to Marillac and worked with the kids there to create an upcycled project for their new houses. Lefko stresses that this kind of connection is incredibly beneficial to both sides. All Hope Houses homes are made in Lefko’s workshop by hand and painted with milk paint. Houses are delivered fully constructed, and while all purchases are shipped, Lefko delivers the homes to partner agencies himself. Online purchases can be made through www.hopehousesworkshop.com. Each purchase guarantees a donated house to a partner agency, and Lefko notes that people can also visit the website to donate a house without making a purchase. For Lefko and Brown, it is a passion project that they hope to see grow. “We don’t ask anything from our partner agencies other than anecdotes and feedback about how the kids like their houses,” Lefko said. “We’re not doing this to become millionaires. The kids are the ‘why’ behind the entire operation.”

OUT ABOUT Raising funds for OPRF Scholarships

An Evening of Jazz

David Sokol, Village Clerk Vicki Scaman, Success of All Youth Director Linda Francis, Sandra Sokol

On Friday Oct. 12, more than 150 guests came together to celebrate An Evening of Jazz Under the Stars in Support of Scholarship to raise funds on behalf of the Oak Park and River Forest High School Alumni Association and Scholarship Foundation. The event was hosted by Mary Jo and Stephen Schuler and honored Roberta “Bobbie” Raymond, Class of 1955, for her dedication to OPRFHS and the community. Kayla York, 2017 graduate of OPRFHS and recipient of the Roberta L. Raymond Scholarship, spoke about the signiﬁcance of having scholarship support from the community as a student at Howard University. The event also featured a Spoken Word presentation by OPRFHS Senior Corina Robinson. An anonymous donor is matching all donations up to $50,000 made during the event and until Nov. 1. Donations will support summer enrichment grants and college scholarships for graduating seniors. For more information or to make a donation, please visit www.scholarships4oprfhs.org.

Remember photos? They trigger memory

ometime between Lascaux cave drawings and selfies, there were photographs. We had a camera. We took pictures of friends and family, essentially documenting our lives — holidays, birthdays, weddings, vacations and youth athletic contests. We put these memorials in big books, and then we filed those books away in the attics, basements and laundry rooms of the four homes we have lived in here in Oak Park. These photos were important enough to travel with us to our new homes, but not important enough to ever look at. Until recently. The Hubbuchs are having a “Cousins Reunion” in New Albany, Indiana this Saturday. So I got the idea to round up all these photos, and see if they might enhance our reunion experience. A few preliminary observations. First, there were lots more photos of first child and first grandchild than any others. I love all my children and grandchildren the same, so that love does not correlate with the number of infant photos. However, I suspect the number of photos is directly related to the time you have to take photographs. You can’t take a photo and change a diaper at the same time, and you don’t take pictures of one son clobbering the other. Second, I looked quite a bit better in my 30s than I do in my 60s. My hair is darker and I look a lot younger. However, my sartorial presentation was much worse when I was younger. Today, the basic old-man style of shorts and khakis and a shirt makes the aging all look pretty much alike. But some of the getups I have worn over the years were more suitable for the circus, or perhaps South Beach in the 1970s. A fashion question: Was corduroy ever in? Was I a failed fashion icon, or a big dork? A flood of wonderful memories washed over me as I picked through these frayed and faded photos. There were my parents, uncles, cousins, old friends when I was a young dark-haired young man. There were the three sons and their now long-forgotten friends, who were nonetheless immediately recognized and named. There was a vacation trip to Hilton Head and the pond where we threw golf balls at the alligators (OK, that was poor parenting on my part). The boys in their baseball, basketball and soccer uniforms presenting the same happy smiles as their children, in similar uniforms, display now. And the big wheel kept turning. Inevitably there were sad memories. My parents, aunts, uncles, some cousins and friends are now gone, and only these photos remain. My mom died when she was 62. She missed so much. There will never be another photo of her. She will never see another photo. Her grandchildren will never sit on her lap. Ever. And then there were the pictures of people my age who at one time were dear friends, but because I changed law firms, or they moved out of town, I lost contact even though we swore we would be friends forever. Alas, the quotidian erosion of life somehow just wore away those promised, unbreakable bonds of friendship. I wonder what happened to them. I wonder if any of them ever think of me. These photos trigger perspective. It is hard to reflect on life while you are living it. Then when your kids are grown and you are retired, many of the people with whom you want to share your memories are gone. And all you have left are photographs and memories.

Visitor Center closure is wrong-headed, lacks heart

adly, the Oak Park Visitor Center will be closed in late December by the new manager of Visit Oak Park after it has provided decades of service to the community and to our out of town friends. The reason given on the press release is “changes necessary to meet the competitive demands of the tourism marketplace” and “by focusing our resources on advertising and marketing, we are able to inspire more travelers to visit the world-class attractions and local gems that make the Oak Park area such an amazing destination.” I feel this is a wrong-headed decision. A physical location, the Visitor Center, with helpful humans and racks of information, is a more potent advertisement for Oak Park than just marketing. If you want to improve or increase marketing, that’s good, but it’s only half of what you need. The Visitor Center provides a place to go for tourists to get oriented, find out where things are, where to eat, bathrooms, heat in winter and AC in summer. It provides a human face to Oak Park and River Forest, that Oak Park spirit of friendliness and caring and, yes, bathrooms. Many of these tourists have limited English and someone helping through the map and what’s available and when makes their visit more memorable. They also have a place they can get Oak Park, FLW, and Chicago souvenirs. If we lost the Visitor Center I think the reviews online for Oak Park as a destination would suffer. I understand that they feel an improved website

that works better with smartphones and additional marketing will be a sufficient replacement for that personal, physical location. I don’t agree. How many of you when you decided to move to the area went to the Visitor Center to get information? How many of you shop there to get local gifts for your remote friends? How many of you have had the volunteers fill out your Shoppers Rewards receipts? How many of you go there with out-of-town friends to get information? We should listen to the voice of all those tourists who have been helped personally by the Visitor Center. I don’t think the management of Visit Oak Park was listening to any of those voices. I don’t believe the manager who made the decision to close the Visitor Center ever spent any time there and never understood the services provided. I am sure that if he had, he would have made a different decision. I personally have volunteered there for 11 years and have helped hundreds if not thousands of travelers, foreign and domestic, with finding out where to go in town, what’s open and where to eat, many with limited language skills. I personally think the decision to close the Visitor Center and replace it with marketing is wrongheaded and lacks heart. The head of that office, Eric Wagner, eric@visitoakpark, should hear from the community about that decision. John Putnam is a longtime Oak Park resident and Visitor Center volunteer.

Graduation changes

he school board at Oak Park and River Forest High School is poised to take two actions that will substantially change graduation traditions at the school. And because so much of any school’s graduation springs from long tradition, we get that change is difficult, even when necessary. For a century and more, boys at OPRF have donned dark suits for graduation while girls have worn long white dresses. That tradition has been the subject of great debate every year for the past couple of decades. Why are girls required to be in dresses? Why white dresses that suggest being married off ? A compromise allowing white dress pants helped somewhat. But then in the past few years complex issues of gender fluidity have rightly been raised. Add in the cost for those one-time-use suits and long dresses, and the financial burden it creates for many families, and a solution becomes obvious. Caps and gowns. All navy blue. That’s the direction the board is headed and it is the right outcome. Meanwhile, the graduation venue is also up for a shift. The school is recommending shifting graduation to the UIC Pavilion at Racine and Harrison. The indoor setting at UIC will avoid last minute, and always challenging, shifting of the ceremony from the football field to the field house. Plus, with the far larger seating capacity at UIC, families will be able to invite aunts and uncles, grandfolks and siblings who have long been squeezed out of the on campus event. This change is tougher but it also makes sense.

Visit Oak Park, but not the store

Visit Oak Park, the local tourism bureau, is in the midst of considerable change. Overdue change. There is a new executive director, Eric Wagner, hired this year by a board ready for new approaches. Under the hood, that change looks like a new website currently in development. On the street, that looks like the major decision to shutter the Visit Oak Park retail outlet in downtown Oak Park by year’s end. That decision will lessen the group’s immediate visibility and displace a band of dedicated volunteers. But more critically it will eliminate the $100,000-plus annual loss the retail location creates and allow those scarce funds to be reallocated to marketing of Oak Park and its sister communities, which promote themselves under the Visit Oak Park umbrella. This is a small organization with limited, and depending on the state of the state’s financial turmoil, uncertain resources and a big mission — drawing tourists to the Oak Park area. The goal is to draw Chicago convention visitors, Midwest visitors, international visitors. Reaching them to tell the story of Hemingway or the Brookfield Zoo is about marketing that is both highly targeted and broad-based. That takes precious dollars, which in this case are being reallocated from the retail effort.

Sale of our community bank

The pending sale of Community Bank of Oak Park-River Forest is far from a surprise. Consolidation in the banking industry has been underway for decades and is driven by an array of forces: economic, political and, in the sale of our very own 20-year-old community bank start-up, personal. The founders of Community Bank created something wonderful and powerful in Oak Park and River Forest. A bank vested in the villages, backed by local investors, staffed with familiar faces, and welcoming to personal, commercial and nonprofit entities looking for support and service. But a moment comes to cash out that investment and the options are limited, mainly to a much larger financial institution. In this case, that entity is Byline Bank. Good words are shared about future service but the plain truth is that, come spring when this deal likely closes, a vital institution with profound local ties will leave the scene. As their own slogan says, “There’s only one Community Bank.”

Safe gun storage? No-brainer. Blue Wave? We’ll see

aturday morning just beyond the Farmers Market, under sunny skies with powerful gusting winds, hopefully at our backs, Judy Gaetto-Grace and I, members of the citizens group Gun Responsibility Advocates, spent a couple of hours asking shoppers and other passersby to vote for the first referendum you’ll find on the Nov. 6 ballot: Shall firearms be required to be stored in a safe and secure manner that prevents access by unauthorized persons when such firearms are not under the direct personal control of the owner? We’re asking citizens to vote Yes. And once they vote Yes, we’ll take those numbers to the Oak Park Village Board and ask them to pass a safe gun storage ordinance applicable to all gun owners in Oak Park. We did something similar four years ago, asking citizens if they would support a federal (i.e. nationwide) universal background check system (no loopholes). Just under 93% said Yes. We took those numbers to the Oak Park and River Forest village boards, respectively, and both responded by adopting resolutions of support for such legislation. Four years later, we still don’t have a nationwide universal background check system — in spite of Newtown, Las Vegas, Parkland, and so many other preventable mass murders — but we knew that would be the case going in. The Republicans, snoring comfortably and corruptly in the deep pockets of the NRA, are holding the federal government hostage, and until voters break that stranglehold, either this November or in 2020, nothing will get done. In the meantime, we’re trying to be part of a groundswell that will turn into a tsunami, which will shatter that stranglehold, eventually, however long it takes. A safe gun storage ordinance is another step in building that groundswell. On Saturday, it was a pretty easy sell — as it should be. You might even call it a no-brainer. Many were surprised Oak Park didn’t already have such an ordinance. And as one of the passersby noted, “It’s not a no-brainer until we actually get it passed.” Why pass a law that seems so obvious? Laws articulate societal expectations. It gives parents greater comfort to ask other parents who have just invited their child over to play, “Do you have a gun in the house and is it securely stored?” Statistics amply demonstrate that having a gun in your home dramatically raises the odds of your child, not to mention other children, being harmed. An ordinance would also have an impact on suicide since it tends to be an impulsive act, made more likely by the presence of an unsecured gun. Even more pertinent, it has been estimated that up to 40% of guns used in crimes were stolen from lawful gun owners whose homes were broken into — when the owners were not at home and guns were left around for the taking. Gun owners claim they need a gun at home to protect themselves and their loved ones. But home invasions, i.e. when owners are present to defend themselves, are extremely rare. Burglars aren’t

that dumb. They strike when no one is around. Gun owners, however, use selfdefense as an excuse to secure the right to keep guns at home, then criminals steal their unsecured guns and commit crimes with them, and then gun rights advocates complain that “law-abiding” gun owners are not the problem and shouldn’t be subjected to such onerous laws. They also claim they need ready access in the event of an intruder, but gun safes with fingerprint ID technology now provide that ready access. A safe gun storage ordinance is a way to remind gun owners, who are very loud proponents of gun rights but deafeningly silent about gun responsibility, that their “inalienable” right to own and bear arms comes with an “inalienable” responsibility to actively help the rest of us reduce gun violence. And that means supporting common-sense legislation that will help keep guns out of the hands of criminals and kids and those suffering from mental illness. Voting Yes on the need for a safe gun storage ordinance, even though the referendum is nonbinding (i.e. advisory), sends a clear message: It is the overwhelming consensus of Oak Park citizens to do more to reduce gun violence partly by passing laws that keep guns out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them. A referendum gives us numbers to underscore the full extent of the will of the people. In other words, a no-brainer. Of course, it’s also a no-brainer that citizens should vote into political exile the party that wants to take away health care from millions of Americans, including people with pre-existing conditions; who haven’t done anything to change the system that saddles our college grads with unbearable student debt; who cut taxes for the wealthy, which increases the national debt and deficit in a time of already severe economic inequality; who steal a Supreme Court seat and then confirm an individual who proved himself unfit, by temperament, to be a Supreme Court justice; who refuse to fulfill their constitutional duty to serve as a check on a dangerously erratic and corrupt White House; who think the solution to immigration lies in separating children from their parents at the border; who turn a blind eye to a president who alienates allies and is best buddies with murderous, despotic rulers from North Korea, Russia and Saudi Arabia; who accuse the other party of “mob rule” when the only mob mentality in evidence can be found at the president’s own Make Me Great Again campaign rallies and the white supremacist marches he praises; and who won’t pass legislation to counteract climate change even though the scientific warnings are growing louder and more urgent as we rapidly approach the point of no return. A Blue Wave should be a no-brainer — if only the millennials and Latinos turn out in force to vote on Nov. 6. Even though they never have before. As that passerby pointed out, none of this is a nobrainer until it actually happens.

What a master plan is and is not

s the Imagine OPRF Work Group prepares to present the District 200 Board of Education with a facilities master plan for Oak Park and River Forest High School, we want to help residents understand what a master plan is and is not, and what it would mean for D200 to adopt the Imagine plan. A facilities master plan is a vision for solving problems in a prioritized, coherent, and cost-effective way over a period of time. It is a strategy for ensuring that investments made to solve problems today do not, literally, get in the way of solving other problems later. A master plan is not a construction project where design and financing of every portion is done at the start. Instead, a master plan is a living document that should be reviewed and modified every few years as the impact of early projects is assessed, school needs change, and funding becomes available. Imagine volunteers have created a flexible, phased plan that can be financed and executed one phase at a time, and can be paused after any phase. A decision to execute one phase does not commit D200 to executing later phases. It is designed so the school is fully functional after each phase. Adopting the plan as a vision and executing some early work does not obligate D200 to complete the entire plan or on any particular timetable. While Imagine will recommend completing all five plan phases within a decade, that decision lies with current and future boards and will depend on multiple factors, including available funding and modifications to later plan phases. Although a master plan is not a construction project plan, the board asked Imagine for cost estimates for early phases so they could make decisions about executing those parts of the master plan. In providing that information, Imagine followed the advice of our consulting

architects and construction managers. These professionals advise districts to start with cost estimates for phases they hope to execute in the near future, but to wait to estimate costs of later phases that would be executed under unforeseeable market conditions, and, most importantly, are likely to change in scope before they are designed, financed, and built. That said, Imagine received community feedback seeking better understanding of possible costs of the plan’s later phases, even though those costs are going to change before those phases could be built 6-10 years from now. International Contractors Inc., our construction consultants, are preparing those cost estimates. Imagine will share them at the Oct. 25 board meeting with caveats about variables that are likely to change those costs over time. We will also share a flow chart illustrating how the plan’s components and sequences fit together. The Imagine plan is the result of a year of research about current and anticipated needs at OPRF. The plan addresses those needs with flexibility so later phases can be adapted to meet unanticipated needs. Imagine hopes that D200 will use this plan to begin a regular process of reviewing long-term needs and always having a flexible, evolving master plan in place to guide facilities investment and problem solving for decades to come. OPRF High School is an extremely important institution for the long-term vitality of Oak Park and River Forest. While OPRF is more than just a building, the physical space requires investment to meet current and future needs. A master plan helps assure that this vital infrastructure investment is made in a responsible way. Learn more at ImagineOPRF.org and the D200 board’s Oct. 30 Town Hall at OPRF.

What do fools believe?

The Doobie Brothers had a hit song in 1979 whose chorus started like this: “But what a fool believes he sees / No wise man has the power to reason away … That song has been running through my mind a lot lately. When I think of the Imagine OPRF proposal, spending $117 million (80% of the total cost of Sequences 1-3) on rebuilding the Field House (with significant funds to benefit athletics, not P.E., as much for the spectators as the student athletes), I wonder who are the fools who can’t be reasoned out of believing that this will have some kind of uplifting effect on educational outcomes for OPRF students. I hope it’s not members of the District 200 Board of Education. And when I read the document prepared by the financial consultant about funding the Imagine proposal that states, “It is estimated that the maximum the an-

nual tax levy can increase through the issuance of nonreferendum debt is $150 for a home with a market value of $400,000,” I wonder who are the fools that might be persuaded to believe that there is such a thing as free money that should be used for this plan — one with many aspects that seem frivolous and do not serve the educational needs of the students. I hope it’s not members of the D200 school board. Don’t believe those enticing words about fictitious low-cost funding mechanisms that will have a negligible effect on our property tax bills for a proposal that is far more extravagant than needed to resolve the facilities problems at OPRF. Save the funds for programs that serve the true educational needs of the students.

District 200 and voters’ rights

he District 200 Board of Education has an unsettling history of ignoring voters’ rights. For nearly a decade, the board overtaxed taxpayers and unethically amassed more than $100 million in its cash reserve. In 2015, the board tried to bypass voters to fund an Olympic-size swimming pool and natatorium. Episode seven of America to Me touches on the pool saga and includes an overview of the Jan. 14, 2016 board meeting. It was held to gather community input following the Cook County Board of Election’s ruling that forced the board to put its nonreferendum bonds on the ballot. A board member interviewed in the clip incorrectly states, “The ‘no’ contingent started not because of taxes but because of parking.” Point of fact, the “no” contingent formed in response to the board bypassing voters. The petition drive was a voters’ rights issue. The grassroots effort was called the Petition for Referendum not the Petition for Parking or the Petition to Save the Garage. The board’s refusal to put the funding of its $48.5 million project, which included a 50-meter pool and natatorium and demolition of the 12-yearold garage, on the ballot ignited anger in the community and resulted in a successful petition drive restoring voters’ rights.

At the same time that the board was all-in on spending $37.5 million on a swimming pool with 21 lanes, America to Me highlights that the funding for an effective writing program was on the chopping block. Will history repeat itself ? Will the current board repeat the act of overreach of the 2015 board and attempt to bypass voters to fund its proposed facility plan? Of its partial price tag of $145 million, approximately $117 million is earmarked to demolish and rebuild the structurally sound south end of the building, largely for PE/athletics, with $10 million earmarked for academics. D200 hasn’t disclosed its plan’s total cost, and line item expenditures lack transparency. Major capital expenditures should be placed on the ballot and require the approval of a majority of voters in the district. To assert your right to vote on D200’s proposed facility plan, that includes a 17-lane pool and an aquatic center with seating for 600 spectators, please sign the online petition, tinyurl.com/oprfpetition; email the school board, BoE@oprfhs.org; and attend its 7 p.m. Town Hall meeting on Oct. 30.

For Chicago mayor, it’s an election, not a primary There are factual errors in your editorial [Ford for Chicago, Our Views, Viewpoints, Oct. 10]. The February 2019 election is not a Democratic primary. This is a nonpartisan election and it is not a primary. Candidates run without a party designation. Nominating petitions must not state a political party. Petitions stating a political party are not val-

id. A candidate who receives 50 percent plus 1 vote in February is the winner. If there are several candidates for an office and no one receives the required number of votes, there is a runoff between the two with the highest vote totals. This happens in April.

OPRF and IMAGINE are out of touch with reality

attended a presentation by the Imagine OPRF team (IMAGINE) recently and now understand how the state of Illinois, city of Chicago and, Oak Park’s finances have gotten so deeply in trouble. IMAGINE should be commended on its hard work, dreaming what the high school could be if money were no object. Unfortunately, IMAGINE — and it appears now the District 200 Board of Education — also have become so vested in their own creativity, they are blind to the enormous financial implications. The effort has become an exercise in salesmanship. Of the five phases planned for implementation over the next 6-10 years, only three were priced — approximately $150 million. The final two phases were left unpriced. Fortunately, various members of the community, familiar with estimating capital improvements were able to provide an estimate — approximately $100 million — resulting in a total of approximately one-quarter billion dollars. IMAGINE had its team of architects, contractors and professional estimators at the presentation. These professionals have consulted on the plan over the past year and it seems unlikely these professionals gave no thought to the probable cost of the full plan. More likely, a decision was made at some point to avoid undue public sticker shock. By any argument, $250 million is a great deal of taxpayer money. Particularly given the financial stress that Oak Park tax jurisdictions’ out-of-control spending has placed on home ownership. The village is now experiencing more units of for-rent apartments being built than for-sale, transitory residences. A

troubling, but understandable trend. The quarter-billion-dollar IMAGINE plan emphasizes extracurricular activities over the school’s core mission, educating. Over STEM. Over closing the gap. The first $150 million primarily comprises sports- and theater-related structures: gymnasium, lockers, swimming pool, athletic department offices, dance rooms, a green room, and a four-story building for wrestling and the performing arts. In the unpriced phases 4 and 5 are renovation of 26 classrooms and seven science labs, and renovation of remaining classrooms. Phase 5 also includes a new 200-meter indoor track, trainer and locker rooms. Now we hear that the D200 board is looking at ways to circumvent a community vote on the project, using a combination of its reserve, plus some available borrowing. Recall the board’s own consultants recommended reducing the ill-gotten reserve, refunding much back to taxpayers. The board later refused to do so. IMAGINE is misaligned with reality. Recognizing Oak Park’s taxes were spiraling out of control, IGOV was formed in 2012 to try to find ways to save taxpayer dollars. Recently, recognizing Oak Park’s taxes are reaching a critical point, the village of Oak Park Taxing Bodies Efficiency Task Force recommended a moratorium on tax hike referendums until at least 2030 because, “it poses risks to both current Oak Park residents and to the long-term viability of Oak Park’s core values of diversity, affordability and integration.” Like the state, Oak Park is in trouble. IMAGINE exacerbates the problem.

A pleasant way to vote - by mail I’ve just finished a very pleasant voting experience; I voted by mail. With a cup of coffee at my elbow, and recommendations from the Illinois Bar Association and the Chicago Tribune, I voted in the comfort of my own kitchen. About a week ago I had sent in an application for a ballot, and it appear yesterday in the mail. If you like, you can apply online by going to mailvoting. cookcountyclerk.com. To complete the online application you will need the following: your driver’s license or state ID number, the last four digits of your Social Security Number, the address where you would like your ballot mailed,

and an email address. If you do not have one of these items, you may download, print, and sign a mail ballot application and send it to the Cook County Clerk’s Office. If your computer skills are shaky, I’m sure that any friendly librarian will be glad to help you. In return, you will receive a large envelope that includes the ballot and a lot of directions. The Clerk’s Office will also send a stamped self-addressed envelope, which you will use to return your ballot. I suspect I received such quick service because I applied so early. I suggest you do the same.

Pre-packaged marketing vs. person-to-person service I have never seen such a unique discourtesy as the mass emailing from Eric C. Wagner (the new president & CEO of Visit Oak Park) informing the dedicated and long-serving volunteers of the Oak Park Visitor Center that their services will no longer be required. This was, of course, part of the “news” of the center’s closure. I find it distressing that Mr. Wagner clearly chose to ignore both the range and the depth of the services the Visitor Center has provided to residents and visitors alike. Since he has failed to examine how

these unique person-to-person services could continue to be provided, their abandonment in favor of “investing” solely in pre-packaged conventional advertising and marketing materials seems ill advised. As a volunteer deeply committed to sharing Oak Park’s unique history and heritage and vitally interested in helping visitors explore and appreciate our community, I am shocked by this callous destruction of an irreplaceable resource.

Exposing the stealth racist

n his famous “Letter from Birmingham City Jail,” Martin Luther King observed that the “great stumbling block” in the Civil Rights struggle might not be the White Citizens’ Councilors or the Klu Klux Klanners, but rather the “‘white moderate’… more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice.” MLK allowed that for all their “shallow understanding” the white moderates were “people of good will.” This concession was, perhaps, tactically sound at that time, but likely overly generous. Little doubt here that the “moderates” were stealth racists. Racism is a belief in the inferiority of a group of people based on their race. But racism also appropriately covers animus against a race even in the absence of ascribed inferiority and, additionally, support of public policies that perpetuate discrimination and subjugation. “Stealth racists” should be distinguished from “celebratory racists.” The latter filled the ranks of the White Citizens Councils at the time of MLK; and, presently, the lingering KKK, other white supremacist groups, and the White House (the “wall,” for example, with the fevered support it arouses, is appropriately considered as nothing more than a monument to bigotry, as much as the statute of Nathan Bedford Forest in Nashville). Identifying celebratory racists is, obviously, not a challenge. They brazenly luxuriate in their hate, popularly by displaying the Confederate battle flag, representing as it does that aspect of Southern heritage that produced mass slaughter in the defense of slavery and, thereafter, murderous Jim Crow segregation.

In this overly simplistic typology of racists, the “stealth” subset itself contains varieties, including self-aware types who attempt to closet their hate for some personal advantage, failing in that effort when they don their red MAGA caps. And then there are those who may not consciously hate and, who genuinely resent the accusation, but nevertheless hold to a political and social outlook that is racist. Both will deny it. Whereas the unprovoked, primitive hate of the celebratory racist is surely impenetrable, a path to probe the outlook of the stealth racist is offered by the simple question “is this country the land of equal opportunity?” Many — especially those who smugly self-identify as “conservative” or “libertarian” — will instinctively answer “yes.” The immediate follow-up question is: “In a country of equal opportunity, would you not expect the conventional indices of life’s successes and failures to be equally distributed among all racial and ethnic groups?” Whether the answer is “yes” or “no,” the final query is: “Then how do you account for the statistical variances on health, education, incarceration rates, life expectancy, income levels and wealth that exist between racial and ethnic groupings?” At that point the stealth racist must either abandon the mythology of equal opportunity or fall back on a racist explanation for the gaps. Either our society is rigged (it is not a level playing field) or there are innate racial differences (inferiorities) that render some groups less successful. It’s one or the other: logic generates no other explanatory choices. Greg Mumm is an Oak Park resident.

No person of conscience can vote Republican

The Republican Party has turned its back on its historic principles and no longer stands for anything other than clinging to power for the sake of power. State’s rights? In Illinois, Attorney General Jeff Sessions pokes his nose into Chicago’s reform of its police department, recently disgraced by a policeman-murderer. In California, efforts to fight global warming are under federal attack. In Colorado, decriminalization of cannabis is assaulted. Fiscal responsibility? The “Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017” will add only One Trillion Dollars to the national debt while, Eisenhower be damned, Republicans inflate the “defense” budget by billions to feed a cesspool of corruption. Free trade? Tariffs are imposed against China, Mexico, Canada, and the European Union — except for the 2,500 (and counting) insiders granted exemptions. This is not draining the swamp. Family values? The Republican-in-Chief boasts of grabbing women by their private parts; a woman bleeds from her wherever; another is “horse-faced.” Children are used as political pawns to intimidate others — infants ripped from their mothers’ breasts as John Kelly and Kirstjen Nielsen congratulate themselves on cruelty well done (ISIS, Boko Haram, and Hamas also weaponize children: we have met the enemy and he is us). And yet … and yet … Republicans campaign on a platform of states’ rights, fiscal responsibility, free trade, and family values. The GOP is no longer a party but an orgy of hypocrisy. No person of conscience can vote Republican.

When it comes to taxes, prioritize spending I agree that a major problem with the taxation system is that no one has overarching power to prioritize and control spending of various taxing bodies. An oversight commission might help but without power to impose controls is not likely to achieve much. Every spending line item has a constituency, and every taxing body tends to be governed by a board of folks who are passionate about that body’s work. No one wants to see their own ox gored. Everybody is in favor of spending discipline so long as somebody else bears the pain. When everyone in the family wants the latest iPhone and an unlimited data plan but the money isn’t there, sometimes they all have to make do with a flip phone. In my view, the answer is not capping expenditures at their current level plus inflation, but rather capping and cutting. Across the board. Gore everybody’s ox. Force every agency to prioritize its own spending and cut the least necessary expenditures. Every agency thinks all of its own spending is essential, but the truth is that while almost all spending is useful, some items are more expendable than others.

Reducing library hours or village hall customer service hours will produce vociferous complaints from some, but most folks might accept it. Call the question. Snowplowing alleys quickly after a storm is a great service but maybe slower is cheaper. Call the question. The high school wants to spend $250M but only has a $100M slush fund. Nobody can stop them from spending the slush fund, but let them prioritize the money in hand without any promise that it will be replenished. Maybe an iPhone pool would be nice but a flip-phone pool will do in a pinch. Call the question. If people insist on a full suite of services, people have to be prepared to pay the cost. If people aren’t prepared to pay what the full suite costs, they will have to accept a lower level of services. Call the question. But stop calling the question piecemeal, via whatever referendum happens to be first to the ballot. That’s not an intelligent way to prioritize.

Vote Yes for safe gun storage

On Nov. 6, there will be an advisory referendum on safe gun storage on the last page of the ballot. I hope you’ll vote Yes. Because gun owners contend that they keep guns in their homes as a safety measure for themselves and their families, I ask that you carefully consider the cost/benefit ratio of gun ownership when they are not safely stored. Relevant facts are that, every day, 78 children, teens and young adults are injured or killed by guns in the United States. About one-third of homes with children in the U.S. have a gun. Many are stored loaded and/or unlocked. Obviously this risk extends to playmates, friends, grandchildren, et al visiting the home. I refer you to numerous news accounts of tragic events such as the toddler who found his mother’s gun and fatally shot his 2-year-old brother in Colorado; the Seattle third-grader

who brought his parent’s gun to school in his backpack and a classmate was shot when the backpack fell to the floor; the mother killed when her toddler in the back seat of her boyfriend’s car found and fired a gun in Milwaukee and other incidents too numerous to recount. The risk of dying by suicide is 4 to 10 times higher in homes with guns. For this reason the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that the safest home for children and teens is one without guns. If you have a teen who is at risk, AAP recommends you remove guns and ammunition from your home. If your ethic extends beyond consideration of the safety of your own family, consider that stolen handguns from homes is an important source of firearms to those not authorized to own them. Those guns are frequently involved in subsequent crime. So the issue is: does owning a gun/keeping a gun in your home make you and your family safe? Is it possible that the safest decision is, if not to eliminate the gun, at the very least, to store it safely?

Don’t mope, vote!

hank you for allowing me to “vent” my anger and disappointment. We all have learned our President does not respect the truth. But I did at one time have an apparently undeserved respect for a large number of Republicans who have now joined in “lockstep” with President Trump. It was obvious that President Trump desired Judge Kavanaugh as his choice, regardless of the negative baggage that the judge carried. There were many other well qualified conservatives, but none of the other candidates stated that a “sitting president should not ever be investigated” as Brett Kavanuagh had announced. This was a reassurance for President Trump’s possible indictment. I was naïve enough to believe President Trump was contacting the FBI to truly investigate the allegations made by Dr. Ford of sexual assault by Brett Kavanaugh during their high school years. I thought a thorough investigation could finally offer Dr. Ford some closure on her horrible, unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, President Trump limited the scope of the FBI’s work. No thorough study could take place. Dr. Ford gave the FBI many names of people to verify her report and many called to request testifying about Kavanaugh’s drinking habits and partying but only three names offered by Dr. Ford were interviewed. (There were 5 others interviewed having to do with other sexual allegations against Judge Kavanaugh.) The one man who Dr. Ford claimed was in the room with Kavanaugh and Ford was interviewed, but he merely stated (supposedly under oath) he did not remember any such or particular evening as she described. He did not refute her statements, but did not confirm them either. The only admission was Brett and his heavy drinking. Perhaps if the FBI could have delved further, there could have been a resolution. As we reflect on this sad event, the confirmation vote was decided well before the outrageous Kavanaugh hearing (which displayed his non-judicial temperament) and the useless limited FBI investigation.

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska was the only Republican who dared to give an independent, honest evaluation of Brett Kavanaugh. She courageously followed Senator McCain’s proclamation, “A senator’s decision must be determined by country over party.” I have lived through many world changes, ugly wars and many crises. But our present crisis is unique. Our nation has never had an autocratic president who was neither a Republican nor a Democrat. Leaders of both parties always respected our laws, our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These basic tenets of our country are not even acknowledged by President Trump. His goals are selfish desires for power and money. His means of achieving these goals are hate and fear and racism and scapegoats. He has no love of humanity. The parent-child separation “zero tolerance policy” was his effort to limit immigration. At first, he claimed these asylumseeking families were actually “criminals, rapists and drug dealers,” whom he had placed in caged detention centers. When the public outcry displayed their anger, President Trump cowardly blamed it on “the Democrats’ plan.” It is frightening to contemplate that our federal lifetime judgeships are now predominantly Republicans. President Trump has appointed three times as many justices to these positions as the last two presidents have. With the extremely biased Supreme Court now, we, the caring public must at least change the Congress in order to have some check on the other two branches of government. This can only be done by voting. We must establish a fair-minded Congress. Please join me in a pledge to vote. We must urge our 18-year-olds and their friends to register and vote. Help that neighbor who needs a ride to vote, and convince that disgusted-with-politics friend to vote. We can be grateful we still have a vote, and let’s make it count! P.S.

Be real about sexual assault

I was disturbed by one line in John Hubbuch’s Oct. 10 column [The Kavanaugh episode got me thinking, Viewpoints] referring to sexual assault: “My dad, uncles, friends and sons never did it, and women never talked about.” Mr. Hubbuch cannot reliably claim to know that none of those men ever crossed the line in sexual behavior. He can only reliably report on his own

behavior. He may hope, pray, and believe that none of them ever did but he cannot know. This belief that many men have and the subsequent claim many men make that no one in their circle ever has or ever could do such a thing is part of the problem. Let’s start being real about the issue.

for the village to propose that power be consolidated under its authority. (The entire NCS can be viewed at https://www.oak-park.us/sites/default/files/surveys/2017-oak-park-illinois-community-survey-complete.pdf) Of course some, like Trustee Deno Andrews, will argue that power would not necessarily be consolidated under the village [Tax task force: No referenda until 2030, Wednesday Journal, Oct. 3], but the village is the only body that has proposed and expressed interest in such consolidation. Indeed, members of the other taxing bodies have publicly voiced their vehement opposition to consolidation. The fact that the village has worded this Trojan Horse referendum to manipulate residents into voting for it under the guise of potentially reducing taxes is just one more example of why villagers have increasingly lost faith in its honesty. If the village actually wants to reduce taxes, it can stop spending millions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize the projects of wealthy developers or it can stop making unnecessary and expensive cosmetic changes to village infrastructure. What the village, as a body of government increasingly distrusted by Oak Parkers, does not need to do is gain control of the parks, libraries and township. Vote “No” on the referendum to consider consolidation.

An investment for good It has been argued that the most powerful tool we have in living our values is how we, as individuals and institutions, use our money. There are many ways individuals and families can use their money to advance their values. One way to use the tool of our money is to positively invest in organizations that share or promote our values. Having a local, sustainable, healthy food store is important to my family. So we invested in Sugar Beet Cooperative by making them a loan. Social investments are also important to us. So we loaned our money to put up 500 solar panels on the roof of a Chicago NGO. In addition to providing sustainable energy, our investment also provided us with a small income stream and a set of receipts for our charitable donations. Institutions can also use the power of their money to advance their values. Euclid Avenue United Methodist Church used its invested funds to purchase solar energy. That also turned out to be a good financial choice, as the resulting savings on electricity out-performed the usual rate of return. Sometimes the best way to use the tool of our money is to actively invest it only in those products or companies that are compatible with our values and to disinvest from those that are not. The Northern Illinois Conference United Methodist Foundation recently decided to do just that, said “(We) unite to declare that we must ultimately end the burning

Vote No consolidation

Beware the upcoming Trojan Horse consolidation referendum. On the surface, it looks innocent, even enticing. Consolidate bureaucracy? Reduce taxes? Sounds great. Inside of its alluring exterior, however, is an attempt to shift the balance of power in Oak Park away from citizens and to village government by playing to the frustrations of villagers hungry for tax reduction. Although the referendum’s unsubstantiated suggestion that consolidation could lead to tax reduction is attention-grabbing, the referendum fails to mention that the elected positions of the park board, library board and township would become appointed under consolidation, thus reducing the park district, library and township’s independence and making them less reflective of, and answerable to, Oak Park residents. There is also another, more basic problem with the referendum’s proposal to consider consolidating power under the current village government: Oak Park residents do not trust the current village government. In Oak Park’s 2017 National Citizen Survey (NCS), Oak Park residents’ ratings of “general” governance decreased in every single area since the 2015 NCS. The most dramatic drops occurred in Oak Parkers’ ratings of “Being Honest” (63 percent decreased to 46 percent), “Acting in the Best Interest of Oak Park” (60 percent decreased to 50 percent), and “Overall Direction” (59 percent decreased to 45 percent).

n Sept. 27, the Senate confirmation hearings of Judge Kavanaugh, a candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court, disrupted my tranquility. I’m upset by what I witnessed in a daylong coverage of the hearings. Most unfortunately it was not “fake news.” I’m angered by the politicizing of a tragedy and exploitation of two people caught in their irresolvable opposite positions. I hold both political factions equally culpable. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford came forward to testify that 36 years ago, when she was in high school, she was sexually assaulted by young Kavanaugh. I am outraged by the gravity of the alleged crime against Dr. Ford. But I am equally appalled at the way she has been used and exploited in a politically motivated character assassination. She was used as “evidence” implying that Kavanaugh’s behavior was abhorrent, and that his judgment and character are beyond redemption. In coming forward to testify, Dr. Ford risked being defamed. The Senate, acting with blatant, sexist tokenism, assigned a female “prosecutor” to elicit Dr. Ford’s testimony. The assumption seemed to be that a woman’s presence would ease Dr. Ford’s discomfort with the “interrogation.” Dr. Ford is to be commended for her courage to face the ordeal. Judge Kavanaugh did not have to guard himself against a prosecutor’s scrutiny. Before hearing the testimony, senators told Judge Kavanaugh that he was not in a court of law. The proceedings were a “job interview.” That did not relieve the Judge’s anguish. His emotional, heartfelt testimony

touched me. I was moved by his tearful response to the accusation. It’s the inference of guilt that upsets my sense of fairness. Judge Kavanaugh’s predicament evokes a new meaning for me in Iago’s remark, “He that filches my good name takes what will not enrich him, leaving me poor indeed.” (William Shakespeare) Poor indeed! Nothing can remove the stigma of the alleged guilt of a youthful transgression. The offense may have been committed under influence of a bad mix of alcohol and testosterone. Now it overshadows a man’s life. But Judge Kavanaugh is no longer the same person he was 36 years ago. He matured, outgrew his youthful recklessness, and became a gifted judge. Shouldn’t a “job interview” focus on his achievements, and his capacity to interpret the Constitution of the United States? As I reflected on the day’s spectacle, I felt I had missed something. It seemed the environment of the impassioned clash of ideals was permeated by some toxic external element. Visions of senators’ angercontorted faces flashed before my eyes. They were portraits of vitriolic hate. Trump’s defamatory election campaigning of 2016 was the lingering toxicity in the room. He sullied his opponent’s “good name.” The brand “Crooked Hillary” stuck. Trump sowed the seeds of anger and resentment. Now, unfortunately, the opposition has responded in kind. Senators Flake and Coons, two men on opposite sides of the political abyss, negotiated an interlude in hostilities. They realized that hate, slander, defamation and political divisiveness cannot make America great. Fred Natkevi is a longtime resident of Oak Park.

Thanks for making parking service fee equitable Dear Trustees, I am writing to thank you for the time and attention you gave to the matter of the “parking service fee” that was applied to DTOP’s village invoices over the past year. Your thoughtfulness and hard work in finding a resolution that is equitable to everyone is deeply appreciated. Events are an investment in this community and bring vitality, creating a place where people want to live and do business. I have been putting on events in this village for over 10 years and I have seen the positive impact they have on small businesses as well as the community at large, so I am grateful you showed

how much you value their importance as well. DTOP is a not-for-profit organization that spends 1/3 of its budget on marketing. Every year we budget for all our events and promotions carefully so when a large cost shows up with no forewarning, it can be devastating. I understand there are going to be certain village fees associated with events but they need to be fair, just and enacted in a timely and clear manner. Again, I want to thank you and express my appreciation for your diligence with this matter.

Mary Seibel Cronin, 89

Actor, Village Players co-founder Mary Diane Seibel Cronin (stage name Mary Seibel), 89, a longtime resident of her beloved Oak Park, died on Sept. 8, 2018, after a glorious and passionate life. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 9, 1929, she graduated valedictorian of her class from St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota. An actress and mother, she co-founded The Village Players with her first husband James Cronin, an enduring theater company in Oak Park. A proud union MARY SEIBEL member (SAG, AFTRA, AEA), she was a tireless advocate for the Screen Actors Guild, serving as fifth national vice president of SAG. For her service to SAG, she received the prestigious Howard Keel Award. As a film actress, she had roles in Robert Altman’s A Wedding, The Package, Major League, Men Don’t Leave, and Raising Arizona. Television credits include The Untouchables, Crime Story, Murder Ordained, Good Night Sweet Wife, and Deep Secrets. Her first love, however, was the stage, with her first professional role at the age of 19 at The Old Log Theater in Excelsior, Minnesota. She went on to perform in theaters throughout the country, most notably at the Goodman Theatre, Victory Gardens Theatre and Steppenwolf Theatre. She was never happier than when she was in a show, or digging up weeds in her garden in Lansing, Iowa, or on a boat in Minnesota with her sons on the first day of fishing season. She was famous for arriving at any family gathering with a large ham in the back seat. She will be remembered not only for her stage and film roles, but also for singing at

the top of her lungs in the basement of the house in Oak Park, for welcoming all to dinner, and for long zealous political conversations around the kitchen table with a bottomless cup of coffee. Mary was the loving mother of Brian and Colin (predeceased), Sean, Dennis, Kathryn, Michael and Margaret; the loving sister to Nancy Culligan (predeceased); and Dorothy “Sunny” Seibel and Dr. Michael Seibel. She lives on in the spirit of her 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. A memorial service to celebrate Mary’s brave and beautiful life will be held on June 15, 2019 at Immaculate Conception Church in Lansing, Iowa.

Robert Birney, 77 Mr. Fix-It, reader, traveler, and veteran

Robert Foster Birney died on Sept. 25, 2018 at his Oak Park home, surrounded by friends and his wife, Hilda, just short of their 50th wedding anniversary. Thus ended his heroic three-year battle against pulmonary fibrosis. Born on Oct. 19, 1940 in Freeport, Ohio, he helped his father run the ancestral family farm, which evolved into a largescale turkey ranch. It was during these early years that he developed his reROBERT BIRNEY markable ability to fix anything and everything — a skill that made him the “just ask Bob” resource for his neighbors and friends. In 1962, he graduated with a degree in journalism from Kent State University, where he served as vice-president of the Student Council for three years, president of the Interfraternity Council and chair of the Student Faculty Union. While a student, he also worked part-time as a reporter and photographer at the university and for

several area newspapers. With a Kent State scholarship and graduate assistantship, he went on to study political science at the University of Vermont. He later held a full-time position there in Institutional Research. This led to a post at SUNY Albany, New York, where he launched his lifelong career in designing computer-based information systems. While in New York, he served in the National Guard and met his future wife, Hilda. They were married in 1969 and the couple settled in Oak Park in 1972 where he held leadership positions at DePaul University, American Hospital Supply-Baxter International, Phillip Morris-Kraft Inc., and was a consultant for Deloitte & Touche, managing a broad range of corporate and government engagements, locally and nationally. Soon after moving to Oak Park, the couple bought an E.E. Roberts house, surrounded by gardens they developed over the years. After retirement, he became more and more engaged in the garden and singlehandedly created a large koi pond that was featured one year on the annual Oak ParkRiver Forest Garden Walk. He later converted it to an eco-friendly water retention reservoir. When a 100-plus-year-old elm tree died in his back yard, he created a 12 x 12-foot pergola to provide shaded seating. He loved to travel, was an avid reader, news follower (especially the NY Times) and stock trader. Feeding his lifelong knowledge and inquisitiveness in how things worked, he was a relentless collector of hand tools and found objects that he restored or repurposed. Socially, he was a mesmerizingly humorous storyteller. Robert Birney is survived by his wife, Hilda, and his brother, Stanley. A memorial service will be held on Nov. 2 at Oak Park’s Drechsler, Brown & Williams Funeral Home with visitation at 3 p.m. and service at 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations are appreciated to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, 230 E. Ohio St., Suite 500, Chicago 60611 and www.pulmonaryfibrosis.org or to the Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory, P.O. Box 1096, Oak Park 60304 (www.FOPCON.org/donate), or to a charity of your choice.

Edward Hegarty, 89 Educator, music lover

Edward H. Hegarty, 89, of Oak Park has died. Born and raised in Chicago, he received his B.A. and his M.A. in music education both from Chicago Musical College (part of Roosevelt University) and directed and sang in the church choir at St. Angela Church in Chicago. He also sang with the Tower Chorale and was a longtime member of St. Giles Catholic Church. He appreciated opera music, listening to classical music and continued to expand on his piano technique, once retired, taking private piano lessons to the end of his life. He played in many recitals over the years, the most recent within the last month. He and his wife, Mary Frances, married in 1953, and they EDWARD HEGARTY recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Their home nest eventually filled-up with 11 children. The couple enjoyed travel and the family visited many states. When the nest emptied, they enjoyed some international travel. His career in education started in the 1960s, teaching driver’s education, which he loved, followed by teaching in the upper grades and becoming an assistant principal. In 1964, he became a principal, which lasted until his retirement in 1990, and was principal of three different schools, Michael Faraday being the last and longest (22 years). He volunteered at the Oak Park Arms to assist people with their taxes for many years and kept his mind active by doing the crossword, Sudoku, and memorizing long pieces of piano music. He was also physically active, being part of a deep water aerobics class at the local YMCA. His faith, wife, and family have always been the center of his life, and he will be sorely missed. Edward Hegarty was the husband of Mary Frances (nee Mulhern); the father of Maureen

OPRF, Trinity and Fenwick run well at regionals Huskies, Blazers win girls titles; all five teams advance to sectionals

By MARTY FARMER

Sports Editor

he Oak Park and River Forest High School girls cross country team opened postseason competition on the right foot. The Huskies outran several Chicago schools en route to winning the Jones Regional of the Class 3A state playoffs. OPRF placed seven runners inside the top 20 and scored 26 points to beat out Whitney Young (40), St. Ignatius (65), Lane (102) and host Jones (142). Whitney Young senior Ella Behrens was the individual champion with a time of 17 minutes, 37.5 seconds. Running in sunny and moderately windy conditions, senior Hannah Thompson and sophomore Nora Wollen finished second and third, respectively, with times of 18:26.8 and 18:27.9 for OPRF. Teammates Violet Harper (5th place/18:34.1), Josephine Welin (6th/18:35.3) and Parker Hulen (10th/19:20.7) also ran well. Junior Audrey Lewis came in 17th at 19:40.6 and sophomore Maggie Rose Baron was 18th at 19:40.9. Four of the team’s top seven runners are underclassmen. Trinity took top honors with a score of 27 at the Elmwood Park Regional. The Blazers have won a regional championship in two of the last three years. Senior Alexis Cohn also placed first with a time of 19:11. Teammates Kate Foley (19:41), Sylvia Ritzler (19:52), Courtney Yungerman (20:59), Jessica Hoffman (21:14) and Hannah Roberts (21:16) and Annabel Halloran (21.58) also ran well, powering the Blazers into sectional competition. Cohn, Foley and Ritzler (top three runners in the field) earned allregional medals. With the exception of seniors Cohn and Roberts, the rest of the Blazers’ sectional qualifiers are sophomores. The Fenwick girls team also advanced to sectionals by placing fifth (147) at the Hinsdale Central Regional. Laura Durkin took 26th with a time of 19:44.5, Marie O’Brien was 27th with a time of 19:45.9, and Maria Quinn placed 28th at 19:51.06. “We did not perform well. Thankfully we advanced, but it was a terrible race,” Fenwick girls coach Kevin Roche said. “We worked them pretty hard last week and we were mentally relaxed going into it, so those, along with other factors, played a part in the poor performance. We moved on though, and that is what we are happy about. “Even with the very poor regional performance, we placed sixth in the sectional

against all other sectional times,” Roche added. “So, knowing that quells a little bit of my nervous energy. I am excited to see how they will perform for each other. They will bring out their best at sectionals and fight to the very end for each other.” Arlene Amaya (31st/19.55.4), Katie Cahill (35th/20.08.5), Mary Bridget Donahue (36th/20:36.6) and Mikaela Burns (37th/20.42.4) also represented Fenwick at the regional. “All things considered, Mary Bridget Donahue and Mikaela Burns ran best for us,” Roche said. “They were right where we expected them to be in terms of place. Those two were pushing alone for much of the race too which is tough to do.”

The OPRF boys team placed fifth at the Jones Regional to qualify for sectional competition. Senior Garrett Minich led the way with the Huskies’ only top 20 time at 16:26.2 for 19th place. “Our team ran pretty well at regionals,” OPRF boys coach Chris Baldwin said. “We were able to run as a pack and move up throughout the race. A lot of our team ran their best race of the season. “Hoping to see continued improvement in our racing,” he added. “We’ve had some great workouts and the boys just had their best race as a team so hoping that continues.” Senior Spencer Thorpe (16:41.6) edged out sophomore Eamon Cavanaugh (16:41.9) as the teammates took 26th and 27th. “Spencer Thorpe had his best race of the season,” Baldwin said. “He got himself into a great position through the first mile and was able to move up the whole race. He ended up being our No. 2 runner by catching Eamon Cavanaugh at the end of the race.” Juniors Jake Cramer (17:02.2), Jack Blatchford (17.07.4), Alfonso Acevedo

(17.08.4) and senior Gabe Manes (17.10.1) formed a tight pack to finish 33rd through 36th for the Huskies. The Fenwick boys squad secured safe passage to sectionals with a sixth-place showing at the Hinsdale Central Regional. Seniors Eric Janc, Joseph Wermes, Owen Filbin and Jared Wermes set the tone with the Friars’ four fastest times. Janc finished the trail in a time of 16:28.4 to come in 23rd. Joseph Wermes was 30th at 16:43.3 and Filbin 31st at 16:44.8, while Jared Wermes recorded a time of 17:18.2 to place 37th. Junior Chris Brady (40th/17.27.2), sophomore Joey Schultz (43rd/17:41.6) and junior Matthew Zuber (56th/19.26.2) also contributed for Fenwick.

became high school sweethearts. Their four children — Colleen, Maggie, Bridget and Timmy — all attended Fenwick. The three daughters, collectively, played on water polo teams that won five state titles for the Friars’ storied program. Timmy has played football and rugby at Fenwick. Although the Friars finished 3-6 on the gridiron this fall, he kept the season in proper perspective. “Coming into the season, we knew we had a tough schedule. We actually just found out we had the second toughest in the state,” Timmy said. “As a small team with not much experience, we had to play with what we have and do our best for the team. It was next man up. Facing so many different opponents and game plans, we just moved on week by week and tried to have some fun with it.” Last spring certainly wasn’t amusing for Timmy when he broke his clavicle during the Friars’ last rugby match of the season at Morton. Dealing with that injury plus his positive attitude toward football has earned his dad’s respect. “For Timmy to come back and play at the caliber he did in football this season is

admirable,” Tim said. “He’s truly dedicated to football and he loves playing the game. That’s why he was a team captain.” The elixir of leadership and talent appears genetic in the family. Timmy’s aforementioned great uncles excelled at Notre Dame after stellar careers at Mount Carmel. Tom started at quarterback for the Irish when Johnny Lattner won the Heisman Trophy in 1953 and Frank Leahy was the head coach. Tony, who now lives in La Grange, also flourished at Notre Dame. He played defensive back under head coach Ara Parseghian. After Notre Dame finished under .500 the previous five seasons, Parseghian took over the program in 1964 and the Irish finished No. 3 in the country that year. During that magical fall, Notre Dame won nine straight games before losing to USC 20-17 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in front of 83,840 fans. During the game, which would determine the winner of the national championship, a possible interception slipped through Tony’s fingers. “Tony is about seven years younger than Tom,” Tim said about his uncles. “When Tom was going to law school, he also coached football at Mount Carmel and Tony was an upperclassmen. They won a city championship back in the early 1960s. That was back in the day when about 100,000 people would attend that game.”

The Carey family’s story is as interesting off the field as on it. “My great-grandfather Thomas Carey Sr. started Hawthorne Race Course back in 1909,” Tim said. “Then, my grandfather, my Uncle Tom and my father took it over through the years. I have taken over the last 15 years.” Hawthorne Race Course is the oldest sporting venue in Illinois. “It’s always been a family business. We are extremely fortunate in that regard,” Tim said. “We have always been very philanthropic, too, especially in terms of helping schools.” In addition to business and football, Tim enjoys life as a Riverside resident. “I grew up in Riverside,” Tim said. “Once Liz and I started having kids, we thought about where we wanted to live. We couldn’t find any place better than Riverside. It’s a great town for families.” Next fall, Timmy will be relocating to a college campus. Indiana, Iowa and Dayton are the frontrunners. “A couple of schools expressed interest and wanted film of me,” Timmy said about playing college football. “As of now, I don’t think I am going to pursue any of those offers. I just don’t see myself playing college ball. But I’ll still love watching college football. “Ending my Fenwick career against Mount Carmel, though, especially in front of my family is something I can keep forever.”

Football is all in the family for the Careys Multiple generations excel in sports at Fenwick, Mount Carmel

ven though his team lost 49-7 to Mount Carmel on Saturday, Fenwick senior defensive back Timmy Carey played the most memorable game of his life. To paraphrase the sports cliché, it didn’t matter much whether he won or lost, or even how he played the game. Location was everything. “Saturday was surreal for me,” Timmy said. “It really hit deeply in my heart. I couldn’t ask for a better way to end my career where my family’s football legacy started.” Timmy’s great TIMMY CAREY uncles, Tom and Tony Fenwick senior Carey both played football at Mount Carmel and then collegiately at Notre Dame. Tom and Tony bought a city block back in the early 1980s which quickly became Robert F. Carey Sr. Field in honor of their father. The latter ardently supported Mount Carmel for years. On Saturday, approximately 40 family members gathered at Carey Field on the Mount Carmel campus. The day served as a wonderful testament to the Carey family’s commitment to the South Side school. Starting next season, the Caravan will play all varsity football games at Carey
