Rush Oak Park plans new emergency room Demolition of existing dorm building could begin next spring

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

Rush Oak Park Hospital has announced plans to build a $30 million emergency department building on its campus north of its main building at the corner of Maple Avenue and Madison Street.

The hospital said in a press release that the one-and-a-half-story, 55,000-square-foot building will take the place of the five-story Rush Oak Park Medical Arts Building, which once served as a nursing school dormitory. That building has been vacant for two years.

Twenty thousand square feet of the new the new building will be dedicated to the emergency department, and the remainder will be used for program and building support, according to Rush. The department will include 21 treatment bays, two isolation rooms, two behavioral health rooms and a room for treating sexual abuse paSee RUSH OAK PARK on page 15

A DOG AND THIS FIGHT: A golden retriever stands next to a Vote No and VoteYes sign for the D200 pool referendum which is on the ballot in the Nov. 8 election.

Uncertainty in pool referendum fight

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

John Harris, a volunteer with the proreferendum group Vote Yes!, stood on the sidewalk along Lake Street during last Saturday’s Oak Park Farmers Market — the second to last of the season.

The father of Oak Park and River Forest High School graduates was trying to persuade passersby that an estimated $44.5 million, five-year facilities plan at the high school is worth paying for.

The high school’s plan would include the demolition of the village-owned 300-space garage, the construction of an estimated

$21.4 million, 25-yard by 40-meter swimming pool plus a roughly 240-space new parking garage on the site of the old one, and expanded performing arts and learning spaces.

One influential teen Each year Time Magazine releases its list of “The 30 Most Influential Teens” and this year it includes the granddaughter of Oak Park resident (and former WJ Viewpoints columnist Kwame Salter).

According to the online version, Time wrote, “we consider accolades across numerous fields, global impact through social media and overall ability to drive news. In the past, we’ve recognized everyone from singer Lorde to golf champion Lydia Ko to political activist Joshua Wong.”

Here is what they said about Yara Shahidi, 16, who lives in Altadena, California: “As an actress of African-American and Iranian-American heritage playing a smart, complicated teenager on a popular TV show [she plays Zooey, the daughter in Black-ish], Shahidi knows she’s breaking boundaries: Zoey, she has said, ‘is my activism through art.’ But Shahidi, who recently appeared on the cover of Essence, has also become an

activist in real life, using her newfound fame to push for more representation and diversity in Hollywood. ‘If a child grows up never seeing themselves represented as successful or as the hero,’ she said in July, ‘then they are the anomaly if they succeed and the expectation if they fail.’”

According to the ASOS fashion website, she’s also a favorite of Michelle Obama: “She and Michelle Obama led a Q&A in the White House for International Day of the Girl, to talk about education for girls as part of FLOTUS’ Let Girls Learn campaign … She’s the most intelligent, talented, gorgeous 16-year-old we’ve ever seen.”

Proud Grandpa Kwame writes: Yara is one of my five grandchildren. She is the second oldest. I have two granddaughters who live in Chicago and attend Whitney Young Magnet School. My oldest, Camryn Salter, is a standout student and ranked tennis player at WYHS.

Steve James films at OPRF High School.

More than a year after receiving the green light from the District 200 school board to film inside Oak Park and River Forest High School, Oak Park documentary filmmaker Steve James and Kartemquin Films seem multiple steps closer to releasing the production.

According to the industry website, Shadow and Act, James has teamed up with film production and finance company Participant Media to bring the documentary series to the public. The film will explore OPRF’s attempts to grapple with the all-American problem of racial equity, and it will be called, America to Me. Earlier this year, James wrapped up roughly a year of documenting students and community members and entered post-production. Participant officials didn’t specify a release date.

Diane Weyermann, Participant’s executive vice president of documentary film, is an executive producer for America to Me. “Having collaborated with Steve many years ago, and continuing to follow his career, I have tremendous respect and admiration for him and his ability to tell powerful stories,” said Weyermann. “It is inspiring to partner with him once again on this timely series.”

“I truly believe the story of Oak Park

and River Forest High School can be, in many ways, the story of race and education for young people in America today,” said James, whose other works include the iconic documentary Hoop Dreams.

ART BEAT

Our first woman president

By BILL HAZELGROVE

I

Author

was in the bathtub reading Scott Berg’s book Wilson when I dropped it in the water.

It wasn’t a spasm but a reaction to the line I read that basically said Edith Wilson was the virtual president in 1919. After I hauled the book out of the water with blue ink washing down from the cover I read on and then on and on until I reached “The Papers of Woodrow Wilson” in the Elmhurst Library.

There buried in the tombs was the story of a woman who had only been married to the president of the United States for four years and had only two years of schooling yet was required in the 46th year of her life to take control of the United States government and step in, effectively, as president.

The story is told through the correspondence of the day. No email or fax, of course, so people mailed each other and sent telegrams or letters. In these letters the power flowed from Woodrow Wilson to Edith Wilson as she diverted the presidential river to allow her husband to heal from a massive stroke that had turned him into a semi invalid who could only be wheeled out to the South portico or shown movies in the Red Room or, when he was well enough, taken for drives.

In these dusty books I discovered that Wilson disappeared for five months and the White House ceased ed to function and became more re like a haunted Victorian hosospice than a functioning White te House.

At the center was Edith Willson, signing legislation, makking appointments, orchestratting the cover-up, working on n official proclamations whilee trying to fight the battle over the establishment of the League of Nations.

By the time I closed the volumes of letters and official correspondence, I had my book and I had my heroine. Her name was Edith Wilson and she was the first woman president. The title emerged from that idea: Madam President - The Secret Presidency of Edith Wilson. And as I dug deeper I was surprised to discover a love story.

Edith Wilson was a progressive woman who had buried one husband, a child, been homeschooled by her grandmother, and left a failing jewelry company. By the time she met the grieving widower Woodrow Wilson, she was a woman of means with the first driver’s license in the District of Columbia, an electric car, and a penchant for travel and the good life.

The last thing she had on her mind was marriage but Woodrow Wilson woke from his grief and pursued her like a Victorian suitor half his age. For all his apparent academic frigidity, he was in reality a sensual

Madam President Bill Hazelgrove will speak on his new book, Madam President – The Secret Presidency of Edith Wilson, at the Oak Park Public Library, 834 Lake St., on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m.

On Nov. 26th at 10 a.m., he will be at Centuries & Sleuths Bookstore in Forest Park and again on Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. man and his love letters would make a woman in 1919 blush. The romantic won over Edith, and then he did a very unusual thing.

He made his hi new wife his partner in the White House.

W By the time they married, Edith had been deciphering E top t secret codes and had become the President’s closest c advisor.

Effectively she began a isolating him from the men is around him. She was fierce, ar loyal, protective, aggressive, loy and an smart. The couple navigated gat World War I as Wilson’s health deteriorated. The final hea blow came outside of Pueblo, blo Colorado on a whistle-stop Col tour to promote the League of Nations. When they returned Nat to Washington, the blood clot in his brain squeezed off circulation and Wilson collapsed, paralyzed on his left side. The Edith Wilson presidency began.

Now, almost a hundred years later, we are entertaining the real possibility of our first elected woman president. The Edith Wilson presidency has nibbled at the pages of history for a long time and maybe now with Hillary in the final stretch, it is time to shine the light on the dusty pages that reside in books that never checked out.

Hillary should take note of the woman who ruled before women even had the vote.

Bill Hazelgrove is a former Oak Park resident and the first writer in residence at the Hemingway Birth Home. He is the author of 10 novels and he writes a political/cultural blog, The View from Hemingway’s Attic.

Bend out of shape

t’s always very important to ask the community what it wants. Only then and through rapt discernment can officials intuit what the community wants. Because it is always very important to ask the community what it wants.

Take the empty corner of Madison Street and Oak Park Avenue. It’s been empty for decades. Empty so long the last brand of gasoline sold on the corner was ARCO. When’s the last time you saw an ARCO station? I presume the community was asked what it wanted and the near unanimous reply was, “Not some stinkin’ ARCO!” Since the village-owned site has been empty since before my about-to-vote-inher-first-presidential-election daughter was born, I must have missed the consensus building exercise where the community declared it wanted that corner used as a parking lot for the SUVs of Fenwick students from Willow Springs.

Oh, but wait, in a nice bit of nuance, the community must also have said it wanted Christmas trees, Michigan Christmas trees, sold on the corner from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. Isn’t that lovely?!

How on earth the elected mayor of Oak Park ever got the wacky notion that his constituents wanted tax generating retail and high-end housing on that empty lot and stretching further to the east and then neatly jumping to the south side of this woebegone street is beyond me. Simply campaigning directly on that promise and being elected by a wide margin, hosting several wide open public forums and discussing various aspects of likely development repeatedly in public hardly qualifies as “asking the community what it wants.”

How insulting can Anan Abu-Taleb be?

Because of this teeny-tiny backlash from people who are never happy with anything, I’m hoping now that I can plant a small seed that will grow into an actual thing that might soon be seen as “what the community wants.”

Last week, I was coming out of Sears Pharmacy on Madison Street at Home

Avenue and my eye was captured, transfixed, laserfocused kitty corner (or is it catty corner?) on the now-vacant and also village-owned former District 97 headquarters and its formerly neighboring and also village-owned HQ of Robinson’s #1 Ribs.

Sure, the autocratic mayor and village board and Oak Park Economic Development Corp. have carefully assembled this wide frontage and relocated the school offices into a new $7 million structure with the completely insider notion of — what else? — creating more tax-producing property. Ho-hum.

Well, last week I saw those twin buildings with fresh eyes. Sure, I’ve said repeatedly that the old school headquarters was on the short list of all things ugly.

But because I really like Charlie Robinson and have known him for 40 years, I never said in print that his half-block of storefronts was hideous (though it smelled pretty wonderful).

But maybe, I’d submit, there is a place for the historic preservation of just a little past mid-century horrendous. It’s not just the vertical, formed concrete, fake bricks on the face of the school building or the ghost sign left when Charlie shifted his old sign down the street to his new location.

It’s the friggin’ totality. Taken separately, each of these buildings is just crap.

But together they are a statement about the utter futility of Madison Street in Oak Park across the decades. That’s got to be worth something.

Just let this idea of preserving those structures percolate, maybe post a comment about my insights at our OakPark. com website. In a week or two my idea might just ripen into a “community thing, an organic reflection of all that is special about Oak Park.”

Really, I wasn’t going to bring this idea up. It seems sort of stupid. But if we can criticize elected officials for bringing major, legit developers to barren land that Oak Parkers have been paying for in multiple ways for years, then no idea is too stupid.

Longtime Ed Foundation exec set to retire Deb Abrahamson leaves after 19 years with the Oak Park Education Foundation

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

The Oak Park Education Foundation’s first, and so far only, executive director, announced her retirement last week.

According to a statement released by OPEF, Deb Abrahamson will continue working with the privately funded nonprofit through December in order to help with the leadership transition.

When contacted by phone last Friday, Abrahamson said the decision to retire after nearly 19 years with the nonprofit was motivated by family matters.

“My husband is retiring at the end of the year and we decided we want to go traveling,” she said. “We’re super-excited about that, but I’m sad to leave. It’s been a wonderful, fulfilling job. I love the work I do and plan to stay involved with the community and with OPEF.” According to its website, the foundation “brings artists, architects, scientists, and technology experts into K-8th grade classrooms at every District 97 school.

Pool advocates, opponents make their cases as election looms

funded completely out of the high school’s Volunteers met with roughly $96 million fund balance. It would cost roughly $15 million less than the school Wednesday Journal last week board’s approved option, Sheehan said.

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

During separate endorsement interviews at Wednesday Journal offices last week, volunteers on each side of Oak Park and River Forest High School’s referendum debate presented two different scenarios of the measure that voters will see on their ballots during the Nov. 8 election.

In August, the District 200 school board unanimously approved a $44.5 million fiveyear facilities plan, which would entail demolishing the existing 300-space parking garage and building in its place an estimated $21.4 million, 17-lane, 40-meter swimming pool and a new 240-space garage. Around $12.7 million will be spent to purchase the existing garage from the village, demolish it and build the new one.

The plan would also entail spending roughly $10 million to upgrade locker room facilities, repurpose the spaces where the existing 88-year-old pools are housed, expand performance arts spaces and install new 21st century classrooms.

The district’s proposal comes as OPRF has experienced a recent surge in enrollment, with officials noting that the student population has increased by at least 12 percent over the last five years. Performing arts enrollment, district officials said, has jumped by over 20 percent.

During an Oct. 20 interview, Monica Sheehan, who leads the anti-referendum OPRF Pragmatic Pool Solutions group, described the board’s plan as an extravagance that goes beyond what’s needed to provide adequate instruction at the school. She said that the high school was inventing needs, such as mandatory swimming instruction, in order to justify constructing a larger pool.

Sheehan also argued that the district added the additional facilities upgrades to its new pool plan in order to justify the construction of the new 40-meter pool, which her group pegged at $37.3 million; instead of $21.4 million. She said the district could have looked deeper for viable spaces to meet its performing arts needs.

In addition to opposing the high school’s plan, Pragmatic Pool members argued for a cheaper pool-only option that the school board rejected earlier this year. That option would entail replacing the two 88-year-old pools with two new ones (with one expanded to an 8-lane, 25-yard competition pool) and making around $271,000 in repairs to the existing 300-space garage.

The Pragmatic Pool option, which doesn’t entail include performing arts renovations or learning space additions, would cost an estimated $22.3 million and would be

Pro-referendum volunteers Lynn Kamenitsa and Ellen Pimentel, who relied on information presented on the high school’s website, argued that the Pragmatic Pool cost savings were misleading.

Kamenitsa said that the group may have inflated the cost of the high school’s pool plan by making it equivalent to the costs associated with a 50-meter pool plan that wasn’t adopted by the board.

She also argued that the cost of the twopool plan would actually be $40.2 million, not $22.3 million, as Sheehan argued, since the alternative plan can’t be considered without taking into account performing arts and classroom renovations. In addition, Kamenitsa said, the two-pool option would require demolishing and rebuilding the high school’s adaptive gym, which is used by students with disabilities.

Regardless of its component parts, referendum supporters and district officials have noted, the Pragmatic Pool plan is not what voters are being asked to fund. Last month, the school board voted unanimously to adopt a statement clarifying its support for the $44.5 million facilities plan and reinforcing its stance against endorsing any alternative plan.

Some board members have indicated that if the bond referendum doesn’t pass, they won’t consider the Pragmatic Pool option and the process of vetting a suitable plan for replacing the 88-year-old pools would likely start over again.

School board President Jeff Weissglass has said that it likely wouldn’t be until 2019 before the district puts forth another bond referendum designed to fund new pool construction.

POOL CAMPAIGN

YES OR NO?: Ellen Pimental talks to Oak Park residents about the D200 pool referendum on the ballot in the upcoming election.

People from both sides were out in full force near the Farmers Market on Saturday.

(Below) Bruce Kleinman shows his Vote No shirt.

A hard vote to predict from page 1 years, it’s hard to find people who don’t think our taxes are too high,” said Harris.

“But when you look at the average tax bill, you’re talking about $100 a year for an investment in the future.”

In a tent on the other side of Farmers Market — pitched on Scoville Avenue, behind Pilgrim Congregational Church, 460 Lake St. — Bruce Kleinman, a volunteer with the anti-referendum group OPRF Pragmatic Pool Solutions, passionately shared why he believes that what Harris considers an investment is actually an extravagance.

“The core mission of the school is not about swimming,” Kleinman said. “It’s about academic success for all our students and we have some deficits on that score.”

On Nov. 8, less than two weeks from now, voters in Oak Park and River Forest will decide whether to approve a referendum bond that would pay for up to $25 million of the facilities plan (with the rest paid from the reserve fund), which the District 200 school board approved unanimously in August.

The clock is ticking, but Harris and Kleinman are among the relatively small crowd of passionate, active partisans who feel in its pulsations enough urgency to hand out informational literature in sub-50-degree weather and/or go door-to-door evangelizing the rightness of their cause.

The reality, said the roughly half-dozen campaign volunteers, both for and against the bond referendum, who were interviewed last Saturday, is that the ballot measure is a race for the hearts and minds of a voting majority that doesn’t really know much, if anything, about what’s at stake.

The referendum’s relative obscurity as a voting issue, in addition to the lack of professional polling, has created a lot of uncertainty for volunteers. None of them could say with total confidence that their side would prevail. Virtually all said the measure’s passage is a toss-up.

“It’s very hard to say,” said Maureen Kleinman, who manned the Pragmatic Pools tent with her husband. “Sometimes, I come away feeling like, ‘Wow, we’ve really got momentum on our side. And other times, you hear from people who say they really need this new pool.”

Given the relatively strong anti-tax-increase position of many voters, the extent of the public’s lack of knowledge could be more dangerous for the pro-referendum side.

“I’m yes for the future of the high school, but no for higher taxes,” Oak Park homeowner Ronald Page told Vote Yes! volunteer Ellen Pimentel.

Pimentel had rung Page’s doorbell while canvassing the 800 block of North Taylor Ave. She presented to Page a short tutorial on the referendum that was largely based on information available on the high school’s website.

“It makes me wonder what the argument for yes is and you’re giving me the information I need to make a decision based off acts or assumptions, instead of all the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ signs I see,” said Page, who noted that he was still leaning toward voting against the referendum.

Allen Matthews, a 32-year Oak Park resident, said he also didn’t have too many details about the high school’s plan, but his mind was already made up.

“I don’t know enough details to know all the options, but this is wrong and I’m voting no,” he said. “It’s outrageously wasteful.

They’re tearing down the parking garage and building a Taj Mahal here. It’s outrageous.”

Most of the Taylor Avenue residents who voiced support for the referendum brought up the urgency of replacing the high school’s old pools.

“I’ve known that the high school has needed new pools for a long time,” said homeowner Alice Merrifield, whose children graduated from OPRF. “It’s been talked about for years and years. So it’s time.”

Vote Yes! campaign manager Lynn Kamenitsa said one of the most frequent concerns she and other volunteers encounter is about the potential tax impact of the proposal. So, she went to the high school’s online tax calculator, plugged in a variety of 2015 tax bill amounts and created a chart that pro-referendum volunteers take door-to-door.

Kamenitsa said that, in addition to tax concerns, she also encounters confusion about the nature of the referendum, with some voters convinced that the bond will only pay for a pool.

“People are busy and their lives are full of commitments and information,” said Kamenitsa, who has two children at OPRF. “Not everyone’s paying close attention to

this. But in recent weeks, people have been paying more attention and asking more informed questions.”

According to the online calculator, the estimated annual tax increase resulting from the referendum ranges from $60 for an Oak Park household paying $8,000, and $224 for an Oak Park household paying $30,000 in 2016 taxes. For River Forest residents, the tax increase ranges from $68 to $255 at the same 2016 tax levels.

“Typically, when people see that, they say, ‘Oh, is that all?’” said Kamenitsa, a former political science and woman’s studies professor who joked that her position as campaign manager pays around a dime an hour.

“We want people to make informed decisions and vote based on facts.”

Not all facts, however, are the same. In its literature, the Pragmatic Pools group tacks on roughly $15 million to the cost of the high school’s $21.4 million pool cost estimate, bringing the total cost of the pool to more than $37 million. The group argues that district officials haven’t properly included the cost of demolishing and rebuilding the garage.

Kamenitsa said the inflated figure is misleading and based on demolition and construction costs associated with a 50-meter pool proposal that the school board didn’t approve, among other flaws.

That nuanced point of contention, however, wasn’t on the mind of one Oak Park man, who requested anonymity since he works for a firm that’s done business with the high school.

“The high school’s plan may be great, but I don’t know enough about it,” he said, before repeating that Pragmatic group’s point about the $15 million cost addition.

“If I’m going to vote on a referendum to increase my taxes, I suppose I ought to know more about it and there ought to be an obvious winner for the best solution,” he said. “I don’t know if one scheme is any better than the other, so I’m ignorant about what the solution is and based on that ignorance, I’m going to vote not to spend any money. That’s just my gut reaction. I don’t know if it’s a good process, but hey.”

Some residents, like Kelly Oxer, are much clearer about the facts, but are still struggling to come to terms with another tax increase.

“Yeah, it’s like a hundred bucks, but it’s over the course of 20 years [the lifetime of the bond], not just next year,” Oxer said.

“You add that up over the years and it’s a lot of money. We already pay high taxes.”

Oxer, who has children in the fifth and eighth grades, said she’s still considering voting for the proposal because the opportunity to replace the high school’s deteriorating 88-year-old pools may not come back around for another several years. Her husband, she said, is leaning toward voting against the ballot measure.

When asked whether the disagreement has been a source of tension in their household, Oxer offered up a light-hearted dismissal.

“It’s no big deal,” she said. “It would be different if he were voting for Trump.”

Third time’s the charm with Messy Crab

Restaurateurs take Lake Street eatery in new direction

By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

Two restaurateurs in Oak Park are betting that locals are ready to get messy with their new seafood-centric concept restaurant, Messy Crab.

The spot at 722 Lake St. is in its third manifestation since 2000, when owners Rudy and Sandy Medina took over the space that was then operated under the name Fuego Loco.

Rudy Medina said in a telephone interview that after the couple bought Fuego Loco they always planned to update the restaurant with their own name and style.

But the change to Lola’s Cantina only lasted a few years before the Medinas decided to tweak the concept.

“We were growing and needed a change, so we decided to do this,” he said. “It wasn’t growing with the concept we had.”

Medina said the revamped restaurant is a “mash between a crab boil and a Mexican seafood restaurant.”

“It’s new and nobody’s doing it around in the western suburbs, and we thought it would catch on,” he said.

Messy Crab, which seats about 90 people, went live earlier this month after a hiatus for the redesign and buildout.

“It’s going well; we’ve exceeded our expectations,” Medina said.

He said the crab boil/Mexican seafood concept was inspired by a restaurant run by relatives in the city called La Costa Mariscos at 3119 N. Central Ave. With the crab boil, customers can choose from snow and king crab, shrimp, crawfish and a variety other kinds of shellfish. Three Mexican seafood soups are on the menu, as well as a dozen different dinners.

While the new restaurant aims to highlight its Mexican roots, you won’t find tacos and enchiladas on the menu. The dinner plates at include specialties like deep fried red snapper; a fish fillet stuffed with

Messy Crab also features a full bar and drink specials like their bucket of six domestic beers for $20.

The restaurant has yet to put up a website, but more information is available via Instagram and Facebook. Their hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 4 to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from noon to 11 p.m.; and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m.

RUSH OAK PARK

Artist’s rendering of the new emergency room building being proposed

by Rush Oak Park Hospital officials.

A new ER from page 1

tients.

“Technology changes and the types of patients we are seeing changes,” Rush Oak Park President and CEO Bruce Elegant said in a telephone interview.

He noted that the new emergency department will include an updated emergency preparedness facility equipped to handle patients with potentially infectious diseases.

“A couple of our exam rooms will have a back door into the ambulance bay, so the patient doesn’t have to be transported through the middle of the emergency room,” he said, adding that those rooms also will have “negative pressure” ventilation systems, so potentially contaminated air is not circulated through the rest of the emergency room.

Elegant said in the press release that the existing ER was built in 1969 and was designed to serve 15,000 patients a year.

“Since that time, the emergency facility has been remodeled and expanded several times, but we’ve come to the point where we have converted every available square foot in its current location,” he said. “We’re now seeing more than 37,000 patients per year and that number is projected to increase.”

Elegant added that the expansion plan, which will be contained to the hospital’s existing campus, will help address the growing demand for outpatient and emergency room service.

“Rush Oak Park Hospital has a deep commitment to the community going back 100 years, and we intend to adapt to continue to meet the health care needs of residents in the future,” Elegant said.

Elegant said in a telephone interview that emergency room visits at Rush Oak Park have increase an average of 7.4 percent over the last 10 years. He attributed the increase to Rush’s reputation for having short wait times and a low percentage of patients leaving without treatment.

He said the national average for patients leaving emergency rooms without being treated is about 3 percent, which is substantially higher than the 1 percent of patients leaving the Rush Oak Park Hospital ER without being treated.

Elegant also noted the four-star rating the hospital received this year from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for clinical quality and patient satisfaction.

Demolition of the existing structure could begin in spring of 2017 and construction of the new facility could be complete by late 2018 or early 2019, according to Robert Spadoni, Rush Oak Park Hospital’s vice president of operations.

The hospital said it has filed a certificate of need application with the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board for the project to replace the 50-year-old emergency room.

Spadoni said in the press release that hospital physicians and staff have contributed

15

to the initial design of the facility, and Rush has had ongoing discussions with the village of Oak Park on the project.

The hospital will hold public meetings in the coming months with nearby residents to address any issues that arise during construction.

The existing emergency room near Madison Street and Wisconsin Avenue will continue operation until the new building is completed.

The forthcoming emergency room was revealed the same day Rush University Medical Center unveiled plans for a mobile stroke treatment unit – a state-of-the-art ambulance equipped to treat stroke victims onsite.

The mobile stroke treatment unit will

be housed at Rush Oak Park and staffed by Rush University Medical Center personnel, Elegant said. The high-tech ambulance will serve patients within a five-mile radius of the hospital, he said.

A Rush Oak Park news release notes that the ambulance will be equipped with telemedicine technology and a CT scanner that enables brain imaging for quicker and more accurate diagnoses.

The stroke unit will be the first of its kind in the Chicago area and one of only a handful in the entire country. It is expected to be operational in January.

Patients now must wait until arriving at the hospital to be treated for strokes.

“This new mobile stroke treatment unit

will bring immediate stroke diagnosis and treatment to patients at their homes, or wherever they’re in need, which will improve their chances of a good recovery,” Dr. James Conners, medical director of the Mobile Stroke UniT, said in the Rush University Medical Center press release.

Dr. Demetrius Lopes, surgical director of the Rush Comprehensive Stroke Center, added that the ambulance will give doctors the ability to check patients for “bleeding in the brain or blockage in their blood vessels.”

“This ability is crucial, since stroke treatment decisions depend on CT imaging of the brain,” Lopes said.

Feds nix grant to replace Harlem viaduct, again

Cost to fix 104-year-old bridge estimated at $26.1 million

By DEBORAH KADIN Contributing Reporter

Too many projects to fund with too few resources. That sums up why two area safetyrelated infrastructure projects failed to get funding this year, according to officials in the communities that were lead agencies on the grants.

For the third time, the communities of Oak Park, River Forest and Forest Park did not get federal dollars to upgrade the deteriorating Harlem Avenue viaduct through the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER, program.

A first-time application from Elmwood Park and River Forest to fund a beautification project that also would have improved pedestrian safety on North Avenue failed to get state money as part of the Illinois Trans-

portation Enhancement Program, or ITEP. Officials from Oak Park and Elmwood Park, the projects’ lead agencies, said while they were not officially notified their towns did not get their respective grants, the names of their communities did not show up on lists of projects that were released earlier this month.

While noting that the viaduct project is a strong one, Oak Park Village Manager Cara Pavlicek hopes it will be an important one to federal transportation authorities, considering that the Eisenhower Expressway could undergo reconstruction in the coming years and that Harlem Avenue will need to be able to handle the truck traffic that may use the roadway as an alternate route.

Whether the villages could re-apply may depend on the kind of commitment the federal government will place on infrastructure.

“Then [Oak Park, River Forest and Forest Park] will collectively see what the best strategy will be,” Pavlicek said.

Elmwood Park Village Manager Paul Volpe said his community would re-apply for an ITEP grant when the next round of state in-

frastructure improvements comes up in 2018.

“We thought we had a good project and a strong application. Hopefully our time will be next,” Volpe said.

In an email, River Forest Village President Catherine Adduci said it was unfortunate that the request for federal funds to fix the Harlem viaduct continues to be denied.

She added she was not surprised about the ITEP grant, because it was the first attempt at getting funding.

The 104-year-old railroad bridge spanning Harlem Avenue is a block south of Lake Street at a location where the three communities share a border. A TIGER grant would increase clearance under the bridge, reducing the potential for large trucks striking the bridge, incidents which lead to huge traffic back-ups and detours. Improved sidewalks and lighting would brighten the area. The project would also address ADA accessibility.

The total cost, including the design engineering study, will be about $26.1 million.

Local communities would have kicked in about $5.2 million toward the project.

North Avenue would have been dressed

up from Lathrop Avenue east to Harlem Avenue with new street lights, sidewalks, crosswalks, decorative pavement and landscaping. The estimated price tag would have been $3.2 million, with the local share coming in at $1.2 million.

Both grant programs are highly-competitive. TIGER grants are discretionary dollars that fund surface transportation infrastructure, including multi-jurisdictional efforts that have a significant impact on the nation, region or metropolitan area.

This year, some 40 projects around the country received $500 million in TIGER grants. Approximately 585 projects totaling $9.3 billion vied for grants, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Thirty-three ITEP grants were awarded, totaling $30.7 million, according to the state’s department of transportation. The department received 241 project applications for a total of $261.3 million.

ITEP funds community-based projects that promote and develop bike and pedestrian travel, along with streetscape beautification, an IDOT spokesman said.

WATER SAVER: The Longfellow Park cistern reportedly saves up to 27,000 gallons of water a week during peak season.

WILLIAM CAMARGO/Staff Photographer

Cistern installed at Longfellow Park 9,000-gallon tank conserves and reuses splash pad, storm water

By MARTY FARMER Staff Reporter

Water cisterns are becoming more common in Oak Park. The Park District of Oak Park had its third cistern installed at Longfellow Park this year. Construction began in April and was completed in June.

The 9,000-gallon tank, located southeast of the Longfellow Center, allows water to be captured from the splash pad and the center’s roof to use for irrigation. The park district paid for the $145,000 cistern through its Capital Improvement Plan.

Previously, the park district had cisterns installed at the Oak Park Conservatory (400 gallons) and the Austin Gardens Environmental Education Center (1,500 gallons).

“The Longfellow Park cistern is over five times as large as [the other cisterns],” said Chris Lindgren, the park district’s superintendent of buildings and grounds. “The cistern is also thermally treated, which means no chemicals are in it and it should last quite a long time.

“The [Longfellow Park] cistern provides a large financial benefit. We’re saving up to 27,000 gallons a week during the [peak summer] season when it’s open to Longfellow.

Plus, we’re going to increase the quality of the fields by irrigating them through the cistern.”

At the Elsie Jacobsen Discovery Garden at the Conservatory (the first cistern installation in Oak Park), water is reused for drip irrigation.

At the Austin Gardens Environmental Education Center, storm water is harvested through the cistern and diversion for toilet flushing and provides another outlet for watering plants.

Here’s how the water conservation pro-

cess works at Longfellow Park. During the summer months, Longfellow Park’s splash pad water is captured and sent underground where it is pumped into the cistern.

Additionally, rainwater flows off the roof and into the gutter system before a filter removes debris from the rainwater and enters the cistern as well.

The stored water in the 9,000-gallon tank travels underground to a day tank in the lower level of Longfellow Center where it’s further filtered, cleaned and treated. Once that process is completed, the clean water is used for irrigating all of the lawns at Longfellow Park.

“Conservation doesn’t always make sense financially, but this will pay itself off relatively fast,” Lindgren said about the Longfellow Park cistern. “This has a quick payback period. I’d say about 10 years, probably closer to seven years, and it lasts forever.”

According to Diane Stanke, the park district’s director of marketing and customer services, splash pads are open Memorial Day through the end of September. The Longfellow Park cistern will be drained in the fall when other irrigation systems are shut down and go back online in early April 2017 when irrigation will be needed again.

While there was consideration to have the Longfellow Park cistern installed underground, the park district felt its visibility would further benefit the community.

“We want people to learn about it and be leaders when it comes to water conservation,” Lindgren said. “Since it is above ground people see it, wonder what it is and ask questions. Our staff is well-versed about the cistern, so it’s a conversation piece and has attracted attention.”

According to Lindgren, a fourth cistern location has been targeted for Field Park at Woodbine Avenue and Division Street, just west of Mann School.

“Field is next on the docket,” he said.

“There’s no specific timeline yet for Field, but it will likely be an underground tank, since it is a smaller park.”

A new chapter for a former rectory St. Giles home has Spanish flair and many original features

By LACEY SIKORA

E

Contributing Reporter

very older home often has a fair share of history. From the personal lives of original owners to architectural provenance, many homes in Oak Park have stories to share. From the outside, 1032 Columbian may look like any other 1920’s brick home in north Oak Park, but the four walls share a remarkable history that is unlike that of any other home in the village.

Rectory history In 1927, Rev. Lawrence W. Frawley became pastor of a new parish, whose 100 families were spread across a 2½-square-mile stretch from Chicago Avenue to Armitage Avenue, and Harlem Avenue to Austin Boulevard.

Frawley, with the help of his brother Monsignor Daniel Frawley of St. Jerome Parish in Chicago, set about building two churches, two schools, two rectories and a convent to serve his growing parish.

In 1929, Frawley oversaw the construction of 1032 Columbian to house the growing number of priests serving St. Giles Church across the street. By 1941, the rectory was too small for the number of priests residing there, and a new, three-story rectory was constructed across the street next to the church.

Provided

Once the new rectory was complete, St. Giles sold the previous version to the private sector. Many of the early owners of the home were St. Giles parishioners, whose children enjoyed the easy commute to St. Giles School.

The Walpole family purchased the home in 1941, and, in 1956, the home was sold to the Corrado family, which founded Corrado Cutlery in 1905 (the business continues to operate online today). According to later owners of the home, 1032 Columbian housed the business’ burgeoning mail order business

RECTITUDE: The former St. Giles rectory has been a single-family home for decades. It is located across the street from the church and school.

RECTORY

Spanish style from page 19 during the 1950s and 1960s. The Corrados raised eight children in the home and lived there until they sold the home to the Mahoney family in 1980.

Two years later, the home was purchased by the Gordon family, who lived there for 19 years and made some improvements to the house while retaining many of the original features created for the priests of St. Giles.

Like the Corrado family, the Gordon family was attracted by the home’s easy access to the church and school, but also to its location. In a 2000 Wednesday Journal article, John Gordon was quoted as saying, “We moved to Oak Park in 1981. The temperature was 88 below zero with the wind chill. Thinking this was a typical Chicago winter, I wanted the house for its proximity to the grade school.”

The Gordons updated the kitchen of the home and commissioned Chicago artist Floro Fiossi to paint a colorful mural of flowers, trees and hummingbirds on the tiles. At the time, Fiossi was well known for painting similar murals for the likes of Diana Ditka, wife of Chicago Bear’s coach Mike Ditka.

When John Gordon’s job moved him to the east coast in 2000, Cathryn Weiss’ mother bought the home for herself and her two daughters.

New family, old style Weiss noted that their family did not fit the typical mold of previous homeowners. “We were Jewish and my mother adopted us as a single parent.” For her mother, the draw was the neighborhood and the historic home itself. The street was quiet, there were plenty of kids around and the home had retained many interesting historic details.

When they moved in, the Weiss family updated a few things and took care to donate what they believed to be original to the parish.

“The house had a lot of antique light fixtures that were beautiful but didn’t provide much light,” Weiss recalled. “We kept them in rooms where we didn’t have a need for bright lighting and donated the others to St. Giles.”

Another donation was a large mural of the Last Supper. Believed to have been in the dining

Provided

ORIGINAL DETAILS: Elements of the home harken back to its rectory days, such as the tile hearth (above). room since it served as the St. Giles rectory’s refectory, the mural, painted on canvas, had been covered up by the Gordon’s large china cabinet. The Weiss family didn’t want to keep the mural, so they donated that to St. Giles as well.

According to St. Giles’ pastor, Rev. Carl Morello, the mural still hangs in the current rectory dining room.

Weiss is now listing the home with Maurel Samonte of Betancourt Realty for $719,000. Samonte said that the five-bedroom, 3½-bathroom home stands apart from other homes that may have lost their original character.

“This property has so many unique features that you just don’t see anymore,” she said.

“Upon entering, you notice the beautifully tiled entryway and diamond-pattern leaded windows.

Immediately to your left, there are beautifully arched French doors to the dining room that everyone loves when viewing the home.”

Samonte also pointed out the original fireplaces in the house.

While now purely decorative, Weiss said her mother couldn’t bear to change the intricate original tile. The first-floor living room’s fireplace includes tile with scenes of peacocks, trees

and a knight. The second floor library’s fireplace includes similar tile with scenes of a Spanish-style house, trees and a knight.

Throughout the home, original features speak to Spanish flair.

Many of the brass, crystal and iron light fixtures are original.

Wrought iron railings on the staircase and a Juliet balcony on the second floor are original. In the library, built-in shelving lining the walls still has its original leaded-glass panels. Crystal door knobs and unpainted rich woodwork add a charm that can’t be replicated in newly constructed homes.

A second-story sun room has

been carefully restored to look much as it did when priests lived in the home. Weiss noted that her mother removed carpeting in the room and found the original tile floors, which she had restored.

The windows on all three walls and the chandelier are also original to the room.

For Weiss and her sister, the home is full of memories, and they hope another family will enjoy living in this little piece of Oak Park history as so many others have in the past.

A life-long Oak Parker, Mary has a deep knowledge of the wide variety of home styles found here. She understands the ins and outs of renovation and the ways that old homes can be updated without losing their charm and character. “When looking at an old home, I want you to envision how it will work for your family,” she says, “my clients often ask for my renovation advice before, and even after, they buy!”

People move for many different reasons, sometimes positive (marriage, pregnancy) and sometimes negative (divorce, job loss). For Mary, understanding the reasons behind a sale can play a significant role in the transaction. “I really try to put myself in my clients’ shoes,” she says, “that enables me to empathize with them, to work with them at their pace and on their schedule, and to experience with them the highs, and sometimes the lows, of buying or selling their home.”

In her fifteen years in real estate, Mary has seen a lot of technological changes in the

industry. Buyer and sellers are now able to gather an enormous amount of information on their own before ever speaking to a realtor. As such, Mary knows that she needs to bring more to the table than just information. “I need to add value to the transaction,” she asserts, “I want to use my experience to make every transaction run smoothly. I never forget that while I do this every day, most people buy or sell a home only a few times in their lives, and for them it can, at times, be nerve-wracking” Experience, passion and empathy have proved a successful combination for Mary Carlin. In 2016, she was named for the sixth consecutive year in Chicago Magazine as a Five Star Real Estate Agent, an award given to less than 2% of the agents in Chicagoland.

“I am so proud to have been successful in this business,” Mary says, “It has given me so many wonderful gifts—new clients that have become friends, colleagues to work with and learn from, and the ability to share my love for this welcoming community with others.”

Building a business one brick at a time

L

ori Hannigan remembers the time she built her first chimney after being hired

by Edward Cross & Son, Inc. in Oak Park. Mr. Cross put her in his garage on a rainy day, mixed mortar and laid out a pattern for a chimney. He started the structure, handed the trowel and bucket of mortar to Lori, said it was all hers and left. She wanted to insure she did the best work possible and therefore decided to start the structure over.

When Mr. Cross returned two hours later, he was impressed to find a chimney about eight courses tall that was both exactly plumb, or aligned, and level.

Edward Cross & Son, Inc. has been in business since 1937. After years of dedicated, quality work, Lori became the owner in 1987.

She continues to strive for perfection in all her projects and does not expect her staff to complete any task she herself cannot do.

Whether it is setting up a forty foot ladder or pulling up a heavy bucket of mortar to the roof of a house, Lori shows her employees she is not just the boss, but a determined laborer and tuckpointer. Consequently, she is proud to have made a name for herself in a male dominated industry.

Lori specializes in chimney rebuilding and masonry repairs. With her attention to detail, Lori and her team use their skills as

artists to rebuild and repair old structures to their former glory. She has even worked on many Frank Lloyd Wright homes.

The project with the biggest challenge, but Lori Hannigan that resulted in the biggest success, was rebuilding the large chimney on the Adams Home at 710 Augusta in Oak Park. It involved a large scaffolding system, cleaning all the bricks, and restoring the chimney to the exact same design in order to satisfy the Frank Lloyd Wright Historical Board.

Lori helps clients understand the standards of the industry so they know what to expect from contractors in the future. She even teaches her customers about what caused the problems that are being fixed. These qualities truly make Edward Cross & Sons, Inc. a unique business.

Patti Sprafka Wagner sets the stage for real estate success

“H

ow much is this home really worth?” If you own a house or condo, chances are you have asked yourself this question on more than one occasion. Yet the answer is far more complicated than just plugging your address into a website.

If you are looking to sell your home, setting the right asking price is an essential step toward achieving a successful sale. If you’re a buyer, then you want to make sure that you’re not overpaying for your new home. Realtor Patti Sprafka Wagner is a certified Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), and is especially adept at assesing your home's value in the current market.

Coming to the right price involves looking at similar properties and sales to create a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). In markets like Oak Park, River Forest and Forest Park, however, where

every home is unique, finding the best comparable properties and adjusting for the differences between them can be especially tricky. With the specialized training that comes with the PSA designation, combined with over 25 years of experience, Patti has the expertise to juggle all the building variables, factor in the market conditions, and arrive at the price that best fits your home.

Price, however, is only the beginning of the process.

As an Accredited Staging Professional, Patti also understands what today’s home buyers are looking for. She can advise her seller-clients on exactly how to prepare their property to maximize its value and impact, “The most important part of the selling process happens before the house goes on the market,” Patti says, “Home sellers often underestimate what they have to do to prepare their property

for sale. Staging the property can often be the difference between selling in days rather than months.”

To stay on top of the market, Patti regularly pursues professional development and continually studies market conditions. In addition to her PSA and Staging Designations, she is also a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist. Larger, higher priced homes attract a unique home buyer. “The more expensive the home, the smaller the pool of potential buyers,” Patti says, “I work hard to make sure that the luxury homes I represent get the broadest exposure to the most qualified buyers.”

Patti Sprafka Wagner offers her clients a full-service approach. She will help you get your house ready for viewing and then market it in the places that will attract the best possible buyers. From negotiating the contract to navigating

home inspections and village regulations, Patti always strives to make the process, not only smooth for her clients, but pleasant. “Buying or selling a home is an exciting time,” she says, “my job is making sure my clients can enjoy the process and be happy with the outcome.”

We listened and this enabled us to sell our home in less than 2 weeks. She showed vision and a clear understanding of what the market would bear. On the buy side, she went way above and beyond the call of duty as it did not go smoothly, but she remained a psychologist and advocate throughout. She also had great suggestions in terms of colors and decorating tips.”

Dr. Mary Ann Bender: creating a positive impact on patient’s lives

H

ave you ever wondered about “the whole story” behind a person’s chosen profession?

Dr. Mary Ann Bender spent 19 years as a figure skater. Over the years she underwent three foot surgeries; which spurred a curiosity in the various workings of the foot. She understands, having undergone another surgery as recently as 2008, the challenges of living with, and treating foot pain; as well as the concerns/questions patients have about treatment.

Dr. Bender ventured into solo practice 6 1/2 years ago with only an urge to help people, the support of her family, and eleven years’ experience practicing on the south side of Chicago in a large podiatry practice (Jondelle Jenkins, DPM). Working with Dr. Jenkins gave her solid experience but more importantly invaluable development and support.

Today’s healthcare field is constantly changing with the discovery of new techniques, more advanced imaging and treatment options, and most recently, with electronic health records. Dr. Bender offers comprehensive foot and ankle services, including digital x-rays, easy street parking, in office physical therapy, and Russian, Spanish, and Polish translation. She offers

convenient hours, including evenings, and even a willingness to make offhour house calls when necessary; particularly within the Village of Oak Park, which she calls home. She will opening a second location in Forest Park soon.

When asked what motivates her, Dr. Bender first cites three things, the love and support of her husband who never once questioned leaving the financial security of Dr. Jenkins’ large practice for the relative unknown of starting out on her own. Second, she credits her two young daughters and her desire to have them see that goals can be achieved with a dream along with focus and hard work. But lastly she credits the years she spent figure skating as building the foundation entirely upon which her work ethic is based. The best part of her job is seeing patients returning pain free for their follow up appointments—knowing she has provided the care that made such a positive impact in another person’s life.

Improving Retirement Income & Lowering College Costs Chris Everett is a Forest Parker who successfully runs Everett Wealth Solutions (EWS) and Everett & Associates, Inc. With almost 30 years in Financial Services, coupled with her fiduciary and Family Coaching experience, Chris helps families make prudent financial decisions that improve retirement income and lower college costs.

Plugging a $75K Wealth Leak and Improving Income by 35% Mary plugged a $75,000 wealth leak and improved her retirement income by 35%. She was shopping around for someone who could help her create safe and reliable retirement income. She found peace of mind going through EWS’s 4-Step Financial Planning Process. Mary took comfort in our willingness to be vulnerable and share our own personal strategies. She learned more about what her investments were costing her, and it was a bit of a shock. Just by reducing her investment costs, Mary identified an almost $75,000 wealth leak that would have unknowingly and very unnecessarily been passed on to her ex-broker in the next several years. Mary re-evaluated her tolerance for risk and became educated about investment and income alternatives. Once she was ready, she made changes that she completely understood. Mary was able to create 35% more income for herself without increasing risk. She also invited her children into the process so they could understand all of her choices and their potential inheritance. We are now in conversations with her children about how they may be able to create their personal wealth solutions.

Reducing College Costs By $7K Improved Retirement Outcomes Chris is also a CPR licensed College Planning professional dedicated to reducing the cost of college for families. When she showed The Perry family how to reduce college by $7,500 per year, they were shocked. When they came to Chris’s office they were frustrated, and almost angry at how expensive college had become. They did not feel prepared and did not believe they would qualify for financial aid. They were delighted to learn it simply wasn’t true. Chris also helped their students find the best fit career options first, select the best majors and ultimately be prepared to identify the right colleges. They also learned real money for life skills. Empowering the Perry children took some of the pressure off the parents to make informed decisions for a successful college plan. The impact of plugging that knowledge gap was also significant for their retirement accounts. With college spending reduced, they may have an extra $65,000 to 75,000 in their retirement accounts instead of in the college’s coffers.

They could only imagine how much more they could have saved if they only started this process when their children were much younger.

Chris cares about people. She understands that some of the resources many rely on like Social Security and pensions may not be available for younger generations. She is careful to help her clients see efficient ways they might increase family security and improve family legacies. Chris works with individuals and families in multiple states.

EWS is always looking for ways to give back to the community, and is sponsoring this year's Women in Leadership conference on October 26th at Riveredge Hospital, where Chris is a keynote speaker. EWS sponsors the OPRF Huskie Wrestling Team, annual college scholarships for students in Forest Park, Oak Park & River Forest, and supports the OPRF Community Foundation's Big Idea project. Chris is on the board of the Historical Society of Forest Park, OPRF Chamber Advisory Council, Forest Park Chamber of Commerce, a Friend of Parenthesis Family Center and part of the leadership at Greater Chicago Church in Oak Park. Chris is a wife, mother, and grandmother who enjoys spending time with her big family – many of whom are also clients. When she’s not helping families save money for college and prepare for retirement, Chris enjoys singing and writing songs.

n real estate finding the best outcome for your client often begins by seeing hidden potential. Cynthia Howe Gajewski is a Realtor whose experience in home renovation and restoration makes her a valuable resource to homeowners and buyers. Also an accomplished photographer, Cynthia is a woman with vision who loves to find the opportunities in homes that others may have missed.

Cynthia traces her interest in real estate back to her childhood when she was fascinated by the grandeur of her grandparent’s Italianate Victorian farmhouse.

“I admire the character and charm of older homes,” she says, “especially the variety of homes in our Oak Park and River Forest neighborhoods.” Cynthia particularly enjoys seeing older spaces reinvented to fit the needs of modern living.

Matchmaking buyers with the right property is a challenge that Cynthia relishes. “It is so satisfying to see that chemistry happen,” she says, “I tell my buyers that buying a home is an emotional experience with practical considerations. A house can have everything on your wish list, but if you don’t get that ‘yes’ feeling, then the list doesn’t matter. You can’t make yourself fall in love.”

Twenty years as a professional photographer gives Cynthia the added edge in presenting and marketing seller’s homes

in today’s market.

She is always ready to help sellers prepare, stage, and showcase their property to bring in the most buyers.

“I absolutely love,” Cynthia Howe Gajewski she says, “working with sellers who are motivated to get top dollar for their properties.” When sellers are willing to put in the extra bit of effort it can yield big returns. Cynthia will create for them a targeted room by room action plan that will show off the home’s fullest potential, with the goal of bringing in the highest offers.

Cynthia stresses that her personal experience with home ownership and renovation are among the most important assets that she brings to her clients. “I’ve been down that renovation road a few times,” she says, “I know my market, and I know what improvements and upgrades really matter.”

If you are looking to buy or sell your home, contact Cynthia Howe Gajewski at Beyond Properties Realty, 312-933-8440 or cynthia@ beyondpropertiesrealty.com for a free consultation.

Vicki May offers expertise and guidance for RE investors

V

icki May loves property! For years she would pass by houses, apartment buildings and storefronts, and think of ways to upgrade properties for appearance and function. It seemed only natural then that she would go into the real estate investment business. Twelve years and three apartment buildings later, Vicki joined Beyond Properties Realty as a property manager.

Since she already had her own money invested in residential property, Vicki approaches property management with a deep understanding of the demands required to properly manage repairs, maintenance and remodeling projects. Her own experience has helped her connect with her clients and understand their needs for effective and efficient property management. “My own investments,” she maintains, “have taught me the art of setting rents, managing costs, and getting higher yields. I understand the challenges of dealing with tenants. If I can help a property owner be more profitable, that’s a good day’s work.”

Vicki reports that right now the rental market is strong. People have lost their jobs and many have lost their homes. That leaves more people renting and more homes available to

rent. As the economy improves more families may choose to purchase instead of renting. Yet, Vicki does not see homeownership levels returning to where they were in the Vicki May early 2000’s. “Over and over, former homeowners tell me that they are through with ownership,” she says, “I believe the market will stabilize at a more appropriate mix of buyers and renters.”

Vicki May really feels that she has found a home as a property manager at Beyond Properties. “My goal is to continue building my property management clientele,” she says, “I don’t ever want to stop making properties better and filling them with great tenants!”

If you’re thinking about going into residential investment, are looking for management of a property you currently own, or just need to get an apartment or home rented, contact Vicki at 708-714-0686 or vicki@ beyondpropertiesrealty.com.

Jana Frank teaches kids to love math

F

or as long as she can remember Jana Frank has always loved school.

From the time she was a small child teaching the ABCs to her little brother, to the years she spent as a public school teacher, to the opening of her own tutoring center, Mathnasium of Oak Park/River Forest, Jana has enjoyed the experience of helping others learn.

Jana’s teaching career began in the Chicago Public Schools. While she loved her classroom and was devoted to her students, she grew frustrated with the politics of the system. As a math teacher, she struggled to reconcile her knowledge of how students actually learn with mandates to teach to the standardized tests. “I didn’t want to just force feed formulas to my students,” Jana explains, “and the set-up of the curriculum did not allow the opportunity to explore math deeply or help my students actually understand the concepts versus just memorizing and doing computations.”

When Jana discovered the Mathnasium franchise, with its Make Math Make Sense philosophy, she knew that she had found the right fit. Mathnasium matched Jana’s own teaching style, one that used best practices and aligned with the real interests of the child. In Mathnasium, Jana felt the freedom

to finally teach in ways that not only worked, but actually inspired kids to like and get excited about math.

In the three years that Mathnasium has been in Oak Park, Jana and her talented Jana Frank staff of “cool math nerds” have compiled an impressive list of achievement. “Our Brag Board is literally covered in success stories,” Jana beams.

One student went from an “F” to a “B” in a matter of weeks, a high schooler got his first “A” ever, others moved up to advanced math classes, the list goes on and on.

With Mathnasium, Jana found her calling.

“It is so amazing,” she says, “to watch as kids learn to believe and challenge themselves and gain confidence. It carries over into all areas of their lives.”

Mathnasium of Oak Park/River Forest is located at 212 S Marion St. in Oak Park, and can be reached at (708) 613-4007.

I’ve never looked back over the past 12 years and am proud at the age of 40 to have started my own business, Rory & Co. Real Estate Experts. Our goal: a career worth having, business worth owning and lives worth living.

Our real estate business has been built around one guiding principle: It’s All About You! We work with each client to understand your unique lifestyle, needs and wishes, because buying and selling a home is more than a certain number of bedrooms. It’s about your life, and it’s important to us to build a relationship to support your real estate goals effectively and efficiently. Supporting a client in their perfect real estate transaction is extremely rewarding. In everything we do we work to do good for, and by our clients.

Giving back and doing good are a key foundation to lives worth living, when not working in real estate Rory spends time giving back as the Executive Director of

the Cameron Can Foundation in support of children, who like her own son, live with a life long neurological condition, hydrocephalus.

Rory loves making personal connections and discovering how we can do good together! As we grow Rory & Co. and Cameron Can Foundation opportunities are endless and we welcome like-minded thinkers.

My goal is each client will walk away a raving fan and feel great about their experience with Rory & Co. we look forward to the opportunity to support your goals!

Community Mental Health Board

The Oak Park Developmental Disabilities Consortium,

under the auspices of the Community Mental Health Board of Oak Park Township, and with support from the River Forest Township Mental Health Committee, is dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities in reaching their dreams and aspirations.

CHECK THE WEDNESDAY JOURNAL FOR INSPIRING STORIES FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE CONSORTIUM.

Natalie had an enterprise in mind: designing matching t-shirts for dogs and children.

Over the past year Natalie has been able to bring her dream business into a reality. With determination and persistence – and lots of talent and creativity – she has made her “Doggie & Me Designs” business operational. She has become a featured artist with the Artfully Gifted Shop. Natalie can take orders through her website: www.nlchastain51993.wix.com/ doggie.

Natalie’s efforts are a testament to her belief in “life without limits for people with disabilities.”

UCP Seguin of Greater Chicago believes that all people, regardless of ability, deserve to achieve their potential, advance their independence and act as full members of the community. So we stop at nothing to provide life skills training, assistive technology, meaningful employment and a place to call home for people with disabilities, as well as specialized foster care for children.

Our Goal: Life without limits for people with disabilities.

Contact us.

UCP Seguin of Greater Chicago 3100 South Central Ave. Cicero, IL 60804 708.863.3803 • info@seguin.org ucpseguin.org facebook.com/UCPSeguin twitter.com/UCPSeguin

The Community Mental Health Board of Oak Park Township (CMHB) is a branch of Oak Park Township. The CMHB is comprised of nine residents appointed by the Township Supervisor with the approval of the Township Trustees. One CMHB member is a Township Trustee.

The purpose of the Community Mental Health Board is to assist in planning, developing, coordinating, evaluating, and funding mental health services in Oak Park. This includes services for persons with mental illness, alcohol or other drug dependence or developmental disabilities. The Township’s Community Mental Health Fund provides over $1 million in financial support for programs and services to 12-20 agencies per year in Oak Park.

At first glance one might assume that Natalie Chastain was unlikely to get a job in Oak Park, River Forest, or anywhere else for that matter.

She has cerebral palsy and requires use of a mechanized wheelchair. While highly intelligent, Natalie has mobility challenges and difficulty speaking clearly. Despite her challenges she has very much wanted to be employed.

In May 2015 Natalie moved into one of UCP Seguin’s several group homes in Oak Park. She had been attending the Illinois Center for Rehabilitation and Education Services in Chicago, where she received assistance in developing her own business. UCP Seguin facilitated Natalie’s continued participation in the Center’s Vocational/Incubator Program, while supporting her in her new home.

While Oak Park Township Senior Services has many programs for older adults, it also assists senior citizens with cognitive issues including dementia and developmental delays. The Senior Services Care Coordinators provide case management to promote independent living.

Mr. S (name withheld for privacy) is a 59 year old Oak Park resident with cognitive delays. Since 2007, his mother has received services through Oak Park Township, and Care Coordinator Heidi Jasien has worked with the family since 2011.

Mr. S and his mother have a mutually-dependent relationship.

Mr. S, due to his cognitive impairment, requires decision making support from his mother. Mr. S provides help to his mother with daily tasks.

When Mr. S turns 60, he will be eligible to receive case management services from Senior Services, however, he benefits now in many ways. Both Mr. S and his mother receive home delivered meals through the Township. Additionally, Mr. S gets rides through the Senior Services’ Transportation Department; all adults with developmental disabilities can receive curb-to-curb service throughout Oak Park and River Forest regardless of age. The support Mr. S currently receives has contributed to his continued success living in the community and we look forward to coordinating future services.

The River Forest Township Mental Health Committee (RFMHC) works to enhance the mental health and developmental potential of residents by supporting a continuum of community based services that are costeffective, systematically evaluated and responsive to evolving needs.

The RFMHC’s mission is fulfilled through partnerships with community agencies, which provide a flexible network of easily accessible services for treatment and prevention of mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance use. Services include case management, supervised housing, psychiatric treatment, volunteer opportunities, 24hour crisis management and social/recreational services.

The OPRF Pool Plan Debate

p. 43-47

How I vote

or me, voting is an existential act. In some ways it provides you with a snapshot of your beliefs, political philosophy, and worldview at a given time in your adult life. It is done in secret, so no one knows for whom you voted. You can tell people that you voted for their candidate without doing so. Yes, I have done that. But since it is my existential act, I don’t really care for whom you vote.

I have voted in 11 elections. In my very first election, I was in law school. I voted for McGovern. Everyone I knew voted for him. I was surprised he lost carrying only Massachusetts. It was a hard lesson.

Then I voted for Carter because Ford pardoned that rat, Nixon.

There followed what I will call my Era of Free Markets, during which I voted for Reagan twice , and then his vice president George Bush I. I was beginning to make a little money at my law firm, and I wanted to pay less taxes. Greed was good back then.

I went with Bill Clinton because I liked his folksy hillbilly charm, and I had read Pere Bush’s lips regarding no new taxes.

Weirdly, I then voted for good old Bob Dole.

I can’t remember why. Maybe it was the drinking. I think it was because he was a war hero with a crippled arm and was sarcastic. Also, Bill’s charm was wearing thin.

Stupidly, I voted for Bush II over Gore because Gore did not distance himself enough from the president who received oral sex in the White House. I blame my Catholic childhood. It was my worst vote and greatest electoral regret. Since sackcloth and ashes were no longer a popular option, I chose as my self-punishment a vow that I would not vote Republican for 20 years.

So far that vow has been easy to keep.

I voted for Kerry and twice for Barack. I would enthusiastically vote for Obama again if I could. I will of course enthusiastically vote for Ms. Clinton. I have forgiven the mean things she said about Obama in 2008. She is a sinner, but her sins are venial. I never want to tell my grandchildren, or really anyone, that I voted for a laughably uninformed misogynist for president of the United States rather than the first woman president in U.S. history.

For those keeping score, I have voted for six Democrats and five Republicans. Pretty independent, I’d say.

I’m not going to vote in any other race because the Democrat will win or the election is uncontested, and all the judges will be retained. I call it the Cook County charade of representative government. I’m content to have the rest of you decide for me. Never vote in an uncontested election. It only encourages them.

I’m against the referendum that would lockbox road funds for the construction industry and unions at the expense of education and social services. I’m fine with merging Recorder of Deeds with County Clerk, mandating Illinois workers’ sick leave, and the unicorn-catching desire to amend the constitution to permit greater regulation of guns. The last is so Oak Park. And I mean that in a good way.

Finally, I’m all in on building the new pool because I’m so very weary of the discussion on an issue that will be gone in a couple of years when the current parents’ children have graduated from the high school. I feel bad for the poor school board, which has worked on this forever.

Oh, and I have voted for every referendum proposed since I moved here in 1976.

And for the record I will accept the results of the election no matter the outcome. Just get it over.

OPRF football needs a ‘4th Phase’

A

bout a year ago, I wrote a guest column about the recent success of the Oak Park and River Forest High School football team. It was right before the state playoffs started and I mentioned how important it was for Oak Park Stadium to become intimidating for opponents to play in.

That means being boisterous, loud and supportive throughout the entire game, from the opening kickoff until the final whistle.

Having such an atmosphere is what successful teams call a 12th Man. Former Chicago Bears head coach (and current University of Illinois head coach) Lovie Smith called the Solider Field crowd “The 4th Phase.” What did he mean by that? He reasoned a successful football team has four phases — a dynamic offense, a tough defense, great special teams, and loud, supportive fans.

I thought about what he said and it makes sense a lot of sense. The high school programs that are consistently successful include all of these elements. I’m talking about schools like Loyola, Homewood-Flossmoor, Glenbard West, Mount Carmel, Joliet Catholic, Lincoln-Way East, and Hinsdale Central.

OPRF is the 13th-winningest football program in the state of Illinois, so there’s been a lot of successful teams, players and coaches in school history.

However, by the turn of this century the Huskies had fallen into a coma. While it was evident that the program was a sleeping giant ready to be awakened, it needed the right coach.

Enter John Hoerster, whose father was a highly

successful coach at Loyola and made the Coaches Hall of Fame in Illinois. He arrived in 2011 and starting the awakening process. The following season saw a return to the state playoffs and a firstround win at Hinsdale Central — the first playoff win since the early ’90s. Then in 2013 came a 9-win season, and OPRF football was finally out of its coma. An exciting offense?

Hoerster has it. Tough defense? Absolutely. Solid special teams? He has that too.

But what about the 4th Phase, the 12th Man? While there’s no doubt attendance has significantly increased at Oak Park Stadium during Hoerster’s tenure, for the most part there hasn’t been a passionate community of fans, at least in my opinion. Look, I don’t have any sons on the team — in fact, I don’t have any children at all. I’m a devoted fan of high school sports and football in particular.

I have gone to games at Glenbard West and Fenwick, and I can feel and sense the enthusiasm and the passion the fans have for those schools. They’re loud, boisterous and supportive right from the start and it is a constant high level of noise coming from the bleachers. Same at Loyola, Maine South, Barrington, Homewood-Flossmoor, Lincoln-Way East and other successful schools.

Of course, the parents, relatives, and friends of the players on those teams will always be loud and supportive. But you know what makes the difference?

The communities of those schools I named not only

Yes, for OPRF pool

C

ould there be a more circuitous path or a more contentious battle over a high school swimming pool than we have endured and are enduring in the multi-year debacle leading to the Nov. 8 referendum over Oak Park and River Forest High School’s pool plan?

Painful to imagine.

That said, and with some reluctance, we endorse the pool and facilities improvement plan put on the ballot by a sincere, though often frustrating, school board at District 200.

We start with the unflinching belief that this school needs a new swimming pool. The two current pools, oddly placed on either end of the large fieldhouse, are 88 years old and utterly obsolete. We continue with the realization that on this constricted and landlocked little campus there is no simple or easy place to construct a new swimming pool. No matter which option you consider, and the school has looked at plenty over 10 endless, meandering years, something is in the way, something needs to be sacrificed. And we’d close by stipulating that every option is an expensive option. Building a new swimming pool is simply going to be the single most expensive infrastructure investment a high school makes.

The proposal on the ballot calls for a pool that is smaller than pool advocates wanted and bigger than opponents believe is necessary. The board’s compromise on pool size — forced, we’d say, by a determined and organized opposition — allows the pool to be built alongside a newly constructed, though somewhat smaller, parking garage on the current site of the school’s only existing garage.

We have a tough time swallowing the demolition of a perfectly good and not very old parking garage. But we also know that an earlier school board plan to simply blow up the garage in favor of a super-sized pool and push 260 cars back onto neighboring streets was ridiculous.

And it is the on-and-off ridiculousness and indecisiveness of a succession of OPRF school boards — particularly on the pool but also chronic over-taxation, a timid approach to the academic achievement gap, and a confounding take on overall facilities planning — that makes this proposal vulnerable to secondguessing.

The manifestation of that second-guessing in this divisive election campaign is seen in the Pragmatic Pool coalition. They think the board’s proposal is too big and too expensive. From our point of view, though, the fatal flaw in their solution is that their plan — rebuild and upgrade the two current pools in essentially their current locations — is the very worst idea among all that have been floated over the entirety of this century. It just doesn’t work and it doesn’t save enough money to justify its shortcomings.

The second argument of referendum opponents is that OPRF has, at the very last moment, appended a poorly-thought-out facilities improvement aspect to the referendum. In fact, there are monies here that focus on more space for a burgeoning fine arts program, some added classrooms and investments in athletic locker rooms. While facilities planning and the pool process ought to have been wedded years ago, there is logic in the plan put forward by the board.

Finally, there is the argument that the referendum plan ought to be defeated as a lesson to the school that its purported focus on elite swimming comes at the expense of facing serious inequities at the school. We believe the current school board was elected to tackle equity and has only been reluctantly dragooned into endless pool debates. And so we’d argue that this reasonable, though imperfect, pool plan ought to be approved by voters so that the endless pool distraction can be resolved and the school board, administration and our community can turn its full fire on equity.

If you’re in the ‘No,’ also be in the ‘know’

A

s editor of the Viewpoints section, I’ve been following the OPRF pool plan debate for some time now. I’ve tried to give both sides — we’ll call them the Referendum Plan and the Opposition Plan — equal access and plenty of space to present their respective arguments.

But with the election imminent, it worries me that informed decisions aren’t being made. If you’re “in the No” but not “in the know,” you may be voting just because you’re itching to say No to some tax increase after voters have supported so many over the past 15-20 years. We’ve invested plenty in our community (new middle schools, new library, upgraded parks, etc.) so it’s understandable that residents are feeling tax fatigue.

In some ways, the Nov. 8 referendum may seem like an easy one to oppose. The process has been long and messy. The high school has a big reserve fund, which residents resent. The opposition has been determined and aggressive about providing reasons for people, who normally support referenda, to vote No this time.

But several of their reasons are misleading.

Comparing apples and oranges: Referendum opponents describe the key feature of the respective facilities proposals as a “40-meter pool” (the Referendum Plan) vs. a “25-yard pool” (the Opposition Plan). Since state competitions swim 25-yard lengths, the opposition has said, a 40-meter pool is excessive and the money spent on it wasteful. But the comparison isn’t fair. The lanes in the Referendum Plan pool are also 25 yards long. The pool they propose is 40 meters wide, which allows for a diving well and more lanes. The larger of the two Opposition Plan pools proposed is roughly 23 meters wide (so not as many lanes). The other pool in their plan, located on the opposite side of the field house, features a diving well with fewer swimming lanes.

Comparing length to width makes it sound as if the lanes of the Referendum Pool are 40 meters long, and that sounds excessive for competition purposes.

Whether the opposition is doing this intentionally or unintentionally, it’s an unfair comparison. Length of lanes should be compared to length of lanes and width of pools to width of pools. The single Referendum Pool is 25 yards by 40 meters. The larger of the Opposition pools is 25 yards by 23 meters. (I don’t have the figures on the smaller pool, but it should be presented the same way.)

Price points: Referendum opponents say the two pools in their plan cost a total of roughly $22 million and that the single Referendum Plan pool costs $37 million. That’s also misleading. The pools in both plans cost approximately $22 million. To reach the $37 million figure, the opposition is adding the cost of demolishing the current parking garage and building a new one. They have every right to mention the garage costs, but they don’t have a right to characterize the pool itself as costing $15 million more. The garage costs — plus the costs of the performing arts and other educational spaces — are part of an overall facilities package. They need to compare the packages as a whole, not two elements of one package vs. one element of another.

The overall cost of the Referendum Plan is $44.5 million (the board reduced the original cost esti-

mates by about $9 million to reach that figure). The overall cost of the Opposition Plan, according to the architectural firm that presented it to the board as one of the options earlier this year, is $39.9 million. The opposition claims that because the Referendum Plan was reduced, they should be allowed the same reductions, which would put their plan at $30 million, roughly a $15 million savings.

But that’s based on questionable assumptions. The two site plans are quite different. The Opposition Plan would take place entirely within the old field house, which, like the current pools, is 88 years old and poses a number of expensive challenges. The Referendum Plan largely involves new construction outside the field house. The itemized costs of the opposition’s overall facilities package, therefore, would likely vary. So it’s misleading for them to figure in an automatic “deduction.”

The bottom line is that, based on the most solid estimates we have to go on, the Opposition Plan would save $5 million ($44.5M vs. $39.9M), not $15 million. Five million is still a lot of money, but $15 million sounds much more dramatic.

My reading of the opposition strategy is that they were trying too hard to give tax-weary voters sufficient reasons to vote against the referendum with the hope that the school board would then go back and choose their plan instead. But more than likely, a whole new plan would be devised. In fact, the school board has said just that.

According to Oak Park Township Assessor Ali El Saffar, on a tax bill of $10,000, the Referendum Plan, if approved, would add $75 a year in Oak Park, $85 in River Forest. But voters need to know that any pool/learning spaces plan is going to be expensive, and the difference on their tax bills with the Opposition Plan would be relatively small.

There are no “super-discount” solutions because they’re dealing with a land-locked campus and a very old building.

The opposition deserves a lot of credit for having made a real impact on the pool/facilities planning process thus far. They forced the school board to go for a referendum and also forced them to reevaluate their plan and reduce both the size of the pool and the costs. The referendum plan is better because of their efforts. The opposition has already saved taxpayers millions of dollars. But however well-intentioned, they seem to have gotten carried away by their dedication to defeating the Referendum Plan.

No doubt the opponents will rebut that referendum supporters have also been misleading. For instance, they accuse the school board of merging the pool plan and the long-term facilities plan (performing arts spaces, etc.) as a ploy to more easily sell the new pool concept to the public.

But there is no question that the high school has significant long-term facility needs, including the pools, that must be addressed sooner than later, and the long-term facilities planning process has been ongoing for a number of years.

Whichever way the final vote goes, the arguments, pro and con, should be presented in a more straightforward manner.

Bikes and cars are different While biking one recent morning, we approached a busy intersection with two cars (which had just passed us) waiting to turn right. They had their indicators on so we moved up to the intersection on their left.

The driver of the first car self-righteously said, “Same road, same rules” and told us that we should be behind her, not beside her. The problem with “same road, same rules” is that bikes and cars are different. If the driver had obeyed her own rule, she would not have zoomed around us, but would have driven behind us and then had to wait for us to cross the intersection first.

The fact is, because bikes and cars are different, they must follow different rules. I have no problem with a car passing us even on a narrow two-lane street because cars are usually faster and should not be held up. We allow cars to break the rule out of common courtesy. Before you advocate “same road, same rules,” think carefully whether that is really what you want.

Some drivers complain that bikes run through stop signs and stop lights. The fact is, cars can accelerate faster than bikes. If we waited for the green and then started up, we would hold up traffic, certainly if we were in the middle of the lane, as we have the right to be. However, we do not like holding up traffic, and as a courtesy to the

Distribution Coordinator Caleb Thusat Comptroller Edward Panschar

cars, we check for cross traffic and then go through the intersection so we will be out of the way of the cars.

At big, complex intersections (e.g., Harlem and any cross street), we sometimes occupy the lane and wait in line with cars. Some cars resent our existence and zoom past us, inches away, to show their irritation.

This brings us to the biggest difference between bikes and cars. In a confrontation, a car will at most suffer a small dent and perhaps some blood spatter. The biker, however, can be, and sometimes is, killed.

An obvious, but perhaps forgotten difference: biking is very green, and our biking earns carbon credits to offset driving. If we all recognize the right of everyone to use the roads, and acknowledge the differences between bikes and cars, we can co-exist.

Try to consider the viewpoint of others sharing the road. Always use turn signals. Bikes and pedestrians know what turn signals mean, and react accordingly, generally trying to facilitate everyone’s progress. Bike routes should not be on busy streets. Generally, bikes prefer to avoid cars and busy streets, but we cannot avoid you altogether.

The right to bear arms must have limits

am writing to ask the voters in Oak Park Township to support the advisory referendum to repeal the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution, while mandating that Congress regulate the licensing and use of arms.

The second amendment was working just fine until some 30 years ago. At that time, it was largely intended to protect the National Guard, but then some conservative zealots, championed by Antonin Scalia and funded by the gun manufacturers, began a campaign to make sure that everybody had all the arms they wanted, whether it made sense or not.

So now people can have semi-automatic weapons, whose only purpose is indiscriminate maiming and killing — these are weapons that belong only in the army, not even in the police force, let alone in the hands of civilians. Yet Congress refused to renew the ban on such weapons after the Sandy Hook massacre despite strong public support for such a measure, because our congressmen and senators hid behind the second amendment while taking contributions from NRA lobbyists.

In Texas, students are now allowed to carry loaded pistols to class, despite the strong objections raised by local police forces. What will they use the guns for? Kill the instructor if they do not like the grade they received? Also in Texas, visitors can carry guns openly in mental hospitals — gee, what could possibly go wrong? In some other places, people can carry loaded guns to church. What is the purpose? To kill the priest if they don’t like the homily? In many inner cities, children are afraid to walk to school for fear of being shot.

This year in Chicago, the number of homicides, mostly by firearms, has already surpassed 600.

By contrast, after a massacre in 1996, Australia severely

restricted the availability of guns, resulting in a drastic drop of homicides and suicides.

The NRA and similar organizations defend the free availability of firearms on two grounds.

The statement that armed people will protect themselves from tyranny made sense 200 years ago, but is romantic nonsense in the 21st century.

The best protection from tyranny is a large, prosperous and well educated middle class. The statement that criminals will always find guns and, therefore, a law-abiding citizen should have free access to firearms for personal defense is naive. How can open or concealed carry protect one from a Colorado theater or Orlando nightclub massacre — or a drive-by shooting?

The right to bear arms can exist, and does exist, in any society, but with stringent limits that vary from generation to generation depending on the needs of the time. For example, no sane person would consider allowing individuals to possess nuclear weapons. Congress should be responsible for defining those needs as they change with time. The right to bear arms is not a fundamental and absolute right on a par with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The murder rate in the U.S. is about five times higher than in all other civilized nations, and that is due to the free availability of guns in this country. Sadly, many deaths by guns occur because of family quarrels or suicides, not in attempts to defend life or property.

Guns have become a drug, and some people have become hooked on it.

Show your support from page 39 show up in numbers, both home and away, but the energy and passion coming from the stands transfers down to the players and provides an additional boost.

That’s why they enjoy success consistently.

Here’s my bottom line: OPRF football may be a success in terms of wins and losses, but it won’t become wholly successful until we as a community actively start supporting the team. And by that I mean not only attending the games (I think we’re OK with that aspect) but having energy, having passion, and having enthusiasm. No more sitting on our hands waiting for something good to happen for the Huskies; instead let’s help the Huskies make something good happen by transferring our loud vibrations to the players.

A great team feeds off the energy the crowd supplies it, and that’s what I’ve been talking about the last couple of years. The Huskies haven’t won the conference since 1998. John Hoerster’s young men came up just short of a share of the conference championship this year. They need help, which we as a community can supply by turning out in full force.

The state playoffs start this week on the road. If they win, game two may be at Oak Park Stadium. It’s time for the Dog Pound to raise the intensity, and it’s time for our community to rally around a team that unites us all. #gohuskies #itsagreatday Melvin Tate is an Oak Park resident.

Here’s what a ‘no’ vote will get you Ms. Kleinman took some time last week to remind our community that it is OK for people to vote no on the District 200 referendum on Nov. 8. I would like to take some time to share that it is more than OK to vote no. In fact, it is your right to do so, if you so choose. However, please make sure your choice is well informed.

What will a vote for no actually do? A vote for no does not get any alternate plan completed. A vote for no does not do anything to solve any of our problems. A vote for no only rejects a comprehensive plan that has been thoroughly examine and reworked based on community input by at least two separate school boards over years and years — with dozens of meetings and hundreds of hours of community involvement. A vote for no only throws out all of that work and forces us back to square one.

Many plans have been proposed, considered, researched, vetted and rejected.

A vote for no does not mean that any of those plans will suddenly be deemed able to meet the overall facilities needs of the high school. The fact is that two separate school boards have each determined that those other plans do not meet our needs currently or in the future. That is why

both school boards have rejected those other plans and put forth a comprehensive long-term facilities plan.

Of course it is OK to vote no. Just be sure you are aware of what a vote for no gets you: A vote for no gets you and our community nothing except for what we have today, which is a terrible pool situation (everyone agrees that the current state isn’t tenable); band and orchestra practicing in the hallways because of lack of space; locker rooms that require our female students to walk across the field house in wet bathing suits to and from the pools; lack of adequate facilities for the performing arts; lack of adequate space for special needs PE; and a poorly designed parking garage that does not meet ADA requirements. If that is OK by you, then it’s OK to vote no.

I’m voting Yes because none of that is OK by me. I’m voting Yes because this is our chance to change all of that. I’m voting Yes because a Yes vote actually will change all of that. I invite you to vote Yes as well, because a vote Yes will improve our community.

mission of D200 than a swimming pool! (I realize that smaller amounts for other facilities projects were added to this referendum, but that 11th-hour change is clearly a thinlyveiled attempt to appeal to more constituencies, not a genuine commitment to other activities.)

Every curricular and extracurricular offering has the potential to benefit students, but in the real world of limited resources and unlimited wish lists, we have to make choices. One activity simply cannot gobble up this much funding.

If taxes are raised to fund this project, our schools will become accessible only to wealthy kids. In the long run, that would be much more regrettable than a sub-optimal pool. Each tax increase in Oak Park makes it less distinctive and more like every other wealthy suburb in Chicagoland.

My husband and I chose to live in Oak Park because we believe that children of all incomes and skin colors deserve a great education, that diverse communities are healthy communities, and that Oak Park is unique. If we keep increasing taxes, Oak Park will be indistinct from Glencoe/Hinsdale/insert-name-here.

Voting no on this referendum is not a vote against our schools or our community. It’s a vote for the values that have made Oak Park an exceptional community for over 50 years.

And aren’t those values more important than a swimming pool?

Anna Johnson Oak Park

Why we’re buying in

MUSIC & THEATER AT WSTHZ

You’re just one click away from...

The debate over the upcoming District 200 referendum has given little attention to the one aspect of Oak Park that originally drew my family here a decade ago: its historic commitment to diversity. Yet the fact is that an approved referendum would price many people out of Oak Park, especially middleclass families, seniors, and people of color.

In the 10 years we have lived here, we have seen several neighbors in these demographic categories leave Oak Park because of the tax burden. In each case, they were replaced by young, white, professional families with children. While these new neighbors are all lovely people, the overall trend is worrying.

The diversity of Oak Park — racial, economic, and generational — is threatened, and without this diversity, Oak Park is just another suburb.

It’s not hard to see why some residents have decided to leave. In the five years I have owned my home in Oak Park, my property taxes have increased about 20 percent without any increase in the assessed value of my home. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation during that same five-year period was only 7 percent. This incongruous, automatic increase in property taxes is simply unsustainable for many households.

If we want to preserve Oak Park’s tradition of offering quality education to rich and poor children alike, the school districts must set their spending priorities wisely.

Why would we increase taxes to pour tens of millions of dollars into a swimming pool?

Surely there are projects closer to the core

One of the things you do when you move to Oak Park is “buy in.” You buy in to an older, smaller home than you might get further afield. You buy in to saying hi to your neighbors and closing their garage doors if you spot them open. You buy in to diversity, inclusion and complicated conversations about those commitments. You buy in to taxes because our streets get plowed and our emergency calls responded to and our libraries are great. You buy in to volunteering, helping out, pitching in. You buy in, sometimes after asking questions and doing research, to trusting your neighbors who give countless hours to help find a best path forward.

You buy in because the promises of living in a place like Oak Park are real. Good schools, community, public services, community, volunteerism and another heaping side dish of community.

We think our daughter, now in kindergarten, will love the new pool and performing arts spaces in 10 years. But whether she does or doesn’t was barely a measurable part of

the equation for our family in considering supporting the upcoming D200 referendum.

We understand there might be another thing in another year asked of us. If it’s as well researched and well thought out and does as much good as this referendum, well, we’ll support that too. If it’s for early childhood education or to improve affordability for renters or any number of things not directly applicable to our exact situation — sign us up.

We are more than OK with bearing some of the burden for things we may never see the benefits of — whether that’s in a global sense of trying to combat climate change so the world is safe and inhabitable centuries from now or investing in things like smart infrastructure choices for our local high school.

That’s what civil society is all about, right?

We do things to make our lives better, our children’s lives better, and future children’s lives better.

Homer could write an epic poem about the pool saga

A

s many know, the path of District 200’s efforts to decide on a plan for a new pool has been long and arduous, full of twists, turns, false starts, dead ends, promising possibilities, demoralizing disappointments, glittering temptations, sobering reconsiderations, and other hazards of an epic journey.

On our odyssey, I think I’ve actually encountered the Cyclops — maybe a whole island of them. And board members have repeatedly had to thread the narrows between various Scyllas and Charybdises, where our best hope lay in reducing our losses.

But we have reached a point where a satisfying ending may truly be in sight.

The plan reflected in the Nov. 8 referendum question is solid, and I urge citizens to vote yes.

The long-term facilities plan before voters meets several key needs: a new aquatics facility providing adequately for physical education and team competition as well as community usage, sufficient on-campus parking, preservation

of green space, expansion of performing arts spaces, renovation of an ancient locker room, and opportunities for instructional flexibility and innovation.

The price is reasonable, and the board will do everything possible to hold expenses below estimates. This would be the first major building project at the school in almost 50 years, and it is long overdue. Our current pools, built in 1928 on opposite sides of the building to separate the sexes, leak chlorinated water at a shocking rate, require students to walk across the fieldhouse in wet bathing suits, and present ever-worsening health hazards.

The current plan was not my first choice, but I voted for it because it is adequate, practical, responsible and realistic. It is also far better than the twopool long-term facilities solution favored by the “vote no” group, which would diminish the current PE and aquatics programs, eliminate the adaptive PE gym for special education students, build on the green setback on Scoville between the main entrance and athletic entrance,

and, once we could find a location for a new adaptive PE gym, actually cost more than the plan on the ballot. The two-pool plan is such a flawed idea, in my opinion, that had it been adequately vetted with coaches, PE teachers, and the Special Ed Division in the first place, it never would have been considered at our community meetings last spring and summer.

Despite the great amount of information available to the public throughout our journey, I know that many voters still do not feel fully informed about the choice at hand. If that is your situation, I hope you will either trust the serious, honest, thoughtful, diligent, dedicated, fiscally responsible public servants you elected to the board, and our unanimous decision, or do your best to educate yourself before you vote. To me, a long-time Oak Park citizen and taxpayer, a father of three OPRF grads, and veteran of more than 35 years in various professional and leadership positions in our high school — as teacher, administrator, and board member — the choice is clear.

Steve Gevinson is a member of the District 200 school board.

Proud to vote Yes on Nov. 8

I have been following the deliberations of the OPRF school board for a number of years.

Initially, I attended District 200 board meetings out of my concern as a parent of swimmers, who were faced with increasingly deteriorating pools. Now my Huskie has moved through her four years at OPRF, and is looking forward to life after high school.

We are closer than ever to solving the facilities problems at OPRF, and I want to acknowledge the leadership and hard work of the D200 school board. While I do not agree with every decision they have made, I have great respect for the members of the board. They have listened to hundreds of hours of public testimony, analyzed data, and worked as a team to find the best possible solution to our facilities challenge.

The D200 board members reflect the best values I see in my neighbors — they are bright, caring, cautious, empathetic, and wise. It is so easy to be cynical about our government, but so much harder to craft workable solutions.

I am proud of this school board and I am proud to cast my YES vote on Nov. 8.

Why does OPRF’s pool need to cost $37.3M?

ew pools at high schools in our state do not cost this much.

In August 2016, Prospect High completed a 25 yard, eight-lane competition and diving pool addition for $13 million (i). Why do we need nearly triple this expenditure to achieve our new pool?

Two reasons: The desire for a 40 meter pool, inserted onto a land-locked campus The desire for a 40 meter pool is problematic.

The existing building houses two 25 yard pools, but cannot accommodate a 40 meter pool at nearly twice their length. Outside the building on the landlocked campus, no sport would give up their land to the aquatics program (ii). So the board chose to locate the pool in a new building on the site of the existing garage.

This introduces some garage-related concerns.

• Expense: In order to preserve parking, the garage will be purchased, demolished, and rebuilt 100 feet to the west, at a cost of $12.6 million (iii).

• Capacity: In order to cut costs, the board chose to eliminate a level of parking for the new garage, pushing 20% of the existing garage cars back onto village streets (iv), despite 10% increased enrollment projections (v).

• Waste: Contrary to some opinions that the garage is obsolete, the board’s engineers assert the garage has at least 25 years’ service life remaining, once the village performs $271K in deferred maintenance (vi).

• Safety: Reconstructing the garage pushes 300 cars back onto village streets for two years during construction (vii).

• Expansion: The garage was built with capacity for another parking level (viii), which could meet future parking, or learning and extracurricular needs.

So the $37.3 million cost of implementing a 40 meter pool on our land-locked campus includes $12.6 million for garage relocation and $24.7 million for a new pool in a new building (includes $3.3 million repurposing expenses) (ix).

Given this expense it is worth asking: Is a 40 meter pool really what we need?

• A 40 meter pool is not required for competitive aquatics in high school. In fact a bulkhead must be employed to reduce the pool to competition size, 25 yards.

• USA Swimming, the national governing body for competitive swimming, says never build a single large pool, and prescribes dual pools to meet the temperature, access and depth control requirements for aquatics programming (x).

• The board’s justifications for an oversize pool are coed simultaneous PE instruction, and simultaneous aquatics program practices (xi). These are wants, not needs. Neither are required for PE or competitive aquatics.

There is a cheaper alternative.

The board’s architects developed a $22 million dual pool solution within the existing building that preserves the garage (xii). This plan meets per-

forming arts, choir, and theater needs for increased enrollments.

A $37.3 million pool is fiscally irresponsible for our high school. Vote NO in NOvember.

Editor’s note: The District 200 board pool proposal (on the ballot) and the two-pool proposal by the Pragmatic Pool Solution group (not on the ballot) each cost approximately $22 million. The $37 million figure includes the cost of building a new garage.

Both pool plans are 25 yards long (for competition purposes). The D200 pool proposal is 40 meters wide, meaning more lanes, whereas the larger pool in the Pragmatic Pools proposal is approximately 23 meters wide, meaning fewer lanes.

Everyone in the pool!

But not yet

T

his is the first time in my long life that I’ll vote against a school referendum. I love swimming, and have spent years, often in this column, whining about the need for a warm-water pool for seniors and people with disabilities. I also love OPRF High School and District 97 schools.

And babies. And puppies.

At the recent League of Women Voters Forum, both sides, for and against the referendum, did a beautiful job, as did the League, which it pretty much always does. I came away feeling sorry that the high school board of education put so much time into this project and yet missed the boat.

If the pools at the high school are unsafe, close them now and drop the swimming requirement until you can figure something out.

For this amount of money in new taxes, $25 million out of a total $44.5 million, we could make a helluva dent in the school’s main goal — to reduce the achievement gap. Why not hire tutors to move in with each at-risk kid?

In one way it would be nice to put the pool where the garage is — the garage is one of the ugliest structures in the village and a blot on the school’s lovely campus — but it hardly makes sense to tear down the garage and rebuild it.

I picture a lovely complex on the tennis court side of the campus — maybe using lots of glass — beautiful at night. However, the Vote Yes folks said they were told by the board (funny how an advisory committee morphs into a Vote Yes committee) not to bring in any plan that took away green space or open space, so no pool complex on one or two of the tennis courts. Since when is a tennis court green space or open space? I can’t go there and have a picnic or fly a kite. (Open space is defined by the EPA as a piece of land that is undeveloped, has no buildings or other built structures, and is accessible to the public. Green space is partly or completely covered with grass, trees, shrubs, or other vegetation).

Tennis is also wonderful, but I cannot believe the board did not want to give up a few tennis courts to accommodate a curriculum requirement — learning to swim — when only about 100 kids out of a 3,300 enrollment play competitive tennis and could do so easily at a local park. I mean what does the golf team do?

The proposed pool has an extra 15-feet diving pool, which isn’t needed if the emphasis is on swimming and not competition.

And then there’s the park district. They’re working on a plan for an indoor rec center that includes everything but drag-racing, with not one, not two, but three pools — recreation, lanes and warm water. They have no location yet, but they’re looking for something central. They haven’t said whether they’ll ask for a tax increase.

It all sounds wonderful, but why are both pool discussions going on at the same time? Are the park district and the high school even talking to each other? Jeez, if the YMCA decides it needs a new pool, and it should, that will be five new indoor pools!

May I suggest a bathing suit shop in one of the new high-rises?

Say Yes to OPRF High School

O

PRF’s pools are 90 years old, outlasting their 40- to 50-year life by a second life.

District 200 could have built a pool 40 years ago and today we realistically could be debating our second pool renovation rather than our first. But no renovation occurred 40 years ago.

Instead, funds that could have been used to reconstruct our pools were used elsewhere and for other things.

After 40 years of sacrifice, OPRF aquatics is left with two decaying pools leaking 3,000 gallons of putrid, overchlorinated water and are now completely beyond repair. Those who have not experienced the pools are encouraged to do so. Those who have done so can attest to the dilapidated physical conditions and suffocating, miasmic air athletes and spectators have to endure. And parents of swimmers can attest to skin conditions and breathing difficulties their children suffer.

For a progressive community that prides itself on health and education, it is incredible any opposition exists to something that has been so clearly needed for the health and safety of our students and community.

The opposition uncompromisingly insists the pools be renovated in their existing footprint at a cost of $22.3M. That, at least, is what they say today.

Because yesterday, many of the Vote No voices found any pool renovation unacceptable. But even if the opposition were sincere, why oppose the current plan? The cost of the pool, subject to referendum, is $21.4M, less than the $22.3M these naysayers allege they would accept.

What accounts for the additional $23.1M expenditure? $2.7M goes for purchasing the garage from the village

to allow our landlocked high school space to accommodate future growth. And as taxpayers in Oak Park, this is as much a recoupment as a cost because we are simply moving $2.7M from our right pocket to our left.

The Party of No, however, wants to maintain the existing garage in situ without realizing the underutilization of land desperately needed by our landlocked high school to accommodate its growth. Where, exactly, is the wise opposition’s accounting for this costly inefficiency in their analysis?

Perhaps this inefficiency and the need to recapture this valuable space is what our elected school board and staff realize and caused them unanimously to put forward a plan (not once, but twice) that calls for the acquisition and development of the parking garage space.

The remaining $20.4M is for performing arts space ($4.8M), expanding/rehabbing student locker room facilities ($2.8M), new model classrooms ($1.6M), repurposing the existing pool space for additional classroom space ($1.2M) and rebuilding the community’s dilapidated garage ($10M).

Decision-makers shoulder a responsibility of sometimes saying “Yes.” After wresting decision-making responsibility from our elected school board, the Party of No wants us to abandon that responsibility by saying “no” to the first major building investment at the high school in nearly 50 years because they object to what amounts to an average tax hike of 90 bucks a year?

Seriously!?

We will gladly invest 90 bucks a year in Oak Park’s future.

Invest in an outstanding high school

F

or generations Oak Park and River Forest High School has stood out for its commitment to quality education, forward thinking, and fostering equity. Voters have an opportunity to invest in the future of OPRF on Nov. 8.

An outstanding school is key to keeping Oak Park and River Forest desirable places to live. A strong, well-supported, comprehensive high school is an asset that impacts people’s decisions to choose our communities. Prospective buyers and renters are looking for a school with continued community investment that is comparable to — or even better than — those in other suburban communities. It is a red flag to prospective residents when schools start picking activities, sports, or arts programs for disinvestment or elimination. A Yes vote on the facilities referendum is a long-term investment in a key community asset that positively impacts our property values.

An outstanding school requires forwardlooking investment. We cannot allow the physical school to deteriorate. Like our historic homes, our historic school building needs periodic investment. The facilities plan, at $44.5 million, is a significant expenditure, but as District 200 board President Jeff Weissglass has noted, infrastructure is expensive and we pay for it all at once. If we were to spread this investment out over the 20-year life of the bonds, it comprises about 2% of the school’s budget; over the lifetime of the facilities, about 1%. In this case, taxpayers are being asked to pay for part of the project over 20 years.

It has been half a century since the last major addition to our school building.

This is our opportunity to build facilities for the future and to shape learning in the 21st century.

An outstanding school educates the whole student with strong academics, arts, athletics, and activities. All students should have opportunities for involvement and engagement, opportunities to discover and pursue their passions — to find their own forum for success.

National research shows that involvement in extracurricular activities improves students’ academic performance.

OPRF data demonstrates that students who participate in such activities have higher average GPAs (3.2) than students who do not (2.8). This plan makes space for learning in academics, arts, athletics, and activities.

An outstanding school is supported by its community. In Illinois, local voters fund local schools through property taxes.

The D200 board has created a comprehensive, integrated facilities plan that benefits all students: an efficient approach that meets multiple needs on a landlocked campus.

The board thoroughly examined other plans, including the much-discussed two-pool plan, and found that they did not work for OPRF and its students. The two-pool plan is off the table because it delivered far less for our school at a cost of at least $40 million — too little bang for the significant taxpayer buck.

Don’t be distracted by misleading claims about a fictional alternative plan. Only one plan is being voted on. Stay focused on the plan at hand and all it does to make our school and our community better. On Nov. 8, vote Yes for an outstanding school: Oak Park and River Forest High School.

The Vote Yes D200 Facilities Referendum Committee comprises Ben Campbell, Lisa Colpoys, Wayne Franklin, Lynn Kamenitsa, Matt Kosterman, Mary Anne Montgomery, Ellen Pimentel, Peter Ryan, and Karen Steward-Nolan.

This election is reality, not reality TV OK, let’s all take a deep breath.

In the turmoil of this election season, let’s be aware, in our brains and hearts, of exactly what is at stake.

In our country’s history, many times voters have had to choose between candidates (neither of whom would have been their first or second choice). So it is now. A choice such as this one requires that we practice discernment. Discernment is the process which uses our brains and our souls to make crucial decisions for the common good.

How, discerning the sacrifices made by citizens, some to the final sacrifice, the sacrifice defined in ancient times as “laid on the altar,” can we, the living, vote for Donald Trump? Misguided emotionalism, racism, prejudice are screeching blind fury in this election. Sadly, those in financial and social desperation have been tricked into believing Mr. Trump will save them. Can we, can anyone, knowing his history, see him as president of this country?

The Trump campaign has long ceased to be fodder for comedians. It is a tragedy. Now our governor, Bruce Rauner, who has set so fine an example in discerning government (not), has announced he will support the “party’s ticket.” His usual convoluted logic has him believing this beleaguered state needs Trump.

This election requires grownup, discerning voters. We can make our common way through whatever is ahead. However, what is ahead in a Trump presidency? Can we even envision such chaos? This is reality, not a “reality” television program, where discerning viewers know the “reality” is scripted and pre-fabricated — usually for conflict’s sake.

At this critical juncture, can we remember the words of our second president, John Adams, “Be they levelheaded,” he said, “all will never be lost.”

We can’t have all masterpieces

I always find it amusing to hear complaints about the new real estate developments in Oak Park. “Sterile” was a word used by Simone Boutet in this week’s paper.

[Former Oak Park assistant attorney to run for trustee, News, Oct. 19] “Not architecturally significant” is a phrase I have heard often.

Architecture is an incredibly mature enterprise. There just isn’t a next-generation Wright who is going to put up 13 high-rise masterpieces in Oak Park. Get over it.

Just remember, there are probably some people who think your house is ugly too.

Yesterday’s mail brought a card from the Democratic Party of Oak Park (DPOP) listing “Our 2016 Democratic Candidates.” The candidates included several judges with the comment that we should vote to retain qualified judges.

For years, I’ve used the Alliance of Bar Associations for Judicial Screening to review recommendations on judicial retention.

The Alliance consists of 11 different Bar associations, including Chicago Council of Lawyers, Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois and Women’s Bar Association of Illinois.

The DPOP mailing listed Daniel Patrick

Duffy as one of their Democratic candidates. Mr. Duffy was rated Not Qualified by both Chicago Council of Lawyers and Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois and Not Recommended by Women’s Bar Association of Illinois. That’s three strikes and enough for me to vote not to retain him.

If you search for Alliance of Bar Association for Judicial Screening, you can find a PDF of the 2016 recommendations from the various member organizations. Early voting has begun, but if you haven’t voted yet, I’d take the time to review the listings.

Thanks for doing the right thing Thank you to the kind stranger for turning in my cellphone at the Ridgeland el station on Friday, Oct. 14. I sprinted to the el and it must have dropped from my pocket. I really appreciate that you took the time to do the right thing. My teenage daughter was blown away by your generosity.

Thank you for making my life quite a bit simpler.

Robert Province, 67

D E B A T E

Sons of the American Legion commander

Robert M. Province, 67, of Forest Park, formerly of Oak Park, died at Gottlieb Hospital on Oct. 21, 2016. Born in Oak Park on Aug. 29, 1949, he was a mold maker at Clarich Mold. He enjoyed fishing and golf and was commander of the Sons of the American Legion, Commodore Barry Post #256.

Robert Province is survived by his wife, Linda M. (nee Ganoung); his children, Tim, Brian (Doreen), and David (Nicole); his grandchildren, Megan, Renee, Amber, Madeline, Michael and Frank; his siblings, Mary Province, Patricia Savage, Sheila (Chuck) Compton, Roberta (Ken) Hogan, Mimi (Dale) Kengott, Jerry (Betty) Province, and Janet (Jim) Bell; his brother-in-law, Keith Ganoung; many nieces and nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert A. and Cecilia (nee Beck); his daughter, Christine; and his mother-in-law, Ruth Ganoung-Fogelman.

Visitation was held on Oct. 23, followed by a funeral service on Oct. 24 at KuratkoNosek Funeral Home, with interment at Queen of Heaven Cemetery. Online condolences may be offered to the family at www.

KuratkoNosek.com.

I tried to attend a regular (1st and 3rd Monday) board meeting at Oak Park Village Hall on Oct. 3. Only the lower level (Oak Park Police Department) was open. I’ve been attending about ¾ of these meetings and know of no Oak Parker who makes such a citizen-based effort, and that disturbs me. The current board apparently doesn’t wonder or care what this suggests about democracy. I’ve never heard one of them express a concern about the obvious public absence.

But two of their other trends concern me.

The first is that living on the on the east side of town reminds me that, periodically, we need to remind them of the historic (conscious and deliberate) decision to move village hall from Lake and Euclid to the eastern part of Oak Park. They’re entirely concerned about “downtown Oak Park” and people with money. They’ve voted almost a million dollars to enable drivers in and out of our parking garages to use “smart phones.” There are plenty of people who need work and we could have helped them (and our reputation) in this area instead of protecting the ruling class from having to interact with the working class.

The second is that a board that always votes unanimously doesn’t have a democratic attitude and must be ducking a lot of issues, such as it just did regarding our traditional opposition to widening I-290, partly because of climate change. To some extent, such a deflating vote suggests to me that our board may be exhausted, an inevitable effect (over time) of Reaganomics on democratic boards. There seem to be moneyminded forces everywhere forcing our boards into constant “budget” votes instead of public policy debates.

Our trustees now think about higher paychecks (even for themselves) but never (for years now) yell “tax the rich” at Springfield and in Washington. The North Pole has melted but still we aren’t demanding action?

Fenwick could contend for Class 7A title

Confident, fourth-seeded Friars host Hononegah in opener at Triton College

BY MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

After missing the playoffs last season, the Fenwick High School football team returns to the postseason this year with a stellar 8-1 record and Chicago Catholic League Green Division championship in tow. The Friars earned measures of revenge as well with wins against a pair of reigning state champs, Phillips (Class 4A) and Montini (6A), who both routed Fenwick in 2015.

“We are very proud of the season we had, especially being Catholic League [Green Division] champions,” offensive lineman Sean Heslin said. “Our goal is to be playing Thanksgiving weekend and to bring Fenwick its first state championship in football.”

Fenwick will host Hononegah in the first round of the Class 7A state playoffs. The Friars are seeded fourth in the 7A draw while the Indians (5-4) are the 29th seed.

Hononegah has qualified for the state playoffs 10 years in a row and features quarterback Dominic Ballano, wide receiver/ returner Vito Guerrero, and running back Dallas Washington.

If the heavily favored Friars win their postseason opener, a matchup awaits against the winner of Lake Zurich (7-2) and Harlem (6-3).

The top three seeds (in order and all un-

The Friars prepped for the postseason in ideal fashion with a 48-16 win over visiting De La Salle Friday at Triton College in River Grove.

Fenwick scored touchdowns on six of seven possessions in the first half en route to a comfortable win against the Meteors.

Senior running back Conner Lillig (9 carries, 122 yards) scored three times on runs and wide receivers Mike O’Laughlin, Sherman Martin and Alec Polston each contributed a TD reception as the Friars seized a

commanding halftime lead of 42-0.

Senior quarterback Jacob Keller turned in another efficient performance with 135 yards and three TDs, completing 10 of 15 passes against De La Salle.

On their second possession of the game, the Friars drove 65 yards on eight plays, capped off by Lillig’s 25-yard touchdown run off the left side to put Fenwick up 7-0.

With 6:11 left in the first quarter, Fenwick scored touchdowns on its next three possessions via a Keller-to-Martin 26-yard pass, a 4-yard run by Lillig, and a 20-yard pass from Keller-to-O’Laughlin.

In the second quarter, Lillig scampered into the end zone with 6:55 left until halftime, extending the lead to 35-0. In the closing seconds of the second quarter, Keller tossed a 19-yard TD pass to Polston in the left corner of the end zone to mercifully end the first half.

With a running clock in the second half, Michael Paunove chipped in a touchdown run as the Friars played many of their reserves.

Fenwick’s Lorenzano Blakeney led the team in tackles with five and Ryan Chapman had an interception. Brett Moorman, Jason Ivery and Ellis Taylor added a sack apiece as the Friars applied pressure all night on De La Salle quarterback Robbie Simental.

“Everyone put in a lot of work during the offseason to turn things around and get to this point,” Keller said. “We can’t wait for the playoffs to start.”

OPRF football knows anything is possible Huskies begin playoff quest with tricky road game at Edwardsville

T

he Oak Park and River Forest High School football team let a golden opportunity slip away over the weekend. The Huskies had a chance to earn a share of the West Suburban Conference Silver Division title with Hinsdale Central and secure a probable home game and high seed in the Class 8A state playoffs.

Instead, the host Red Devils defeated OPRF 21-12 to finish 9-0, clinch the conference championship outright, and earn a second seed in the stacked 8A postseason draw.

Conversely, the Huskies finished with a 7-2 regular season record and the No. 21 seed (out of 32 teams) in 8A. But here’s the real rub: OPRF opens on the road against Edwardsville, located a mere 275 miles from the friendly confines of Oak Park Stadium.

Coupled with the Huskies’ long drive, it turns out their opponent can play a little ball. Edwardsville finished 8-1 (their lone loss, 20-10 to 7A powerhouse East St. Louis, which snapped the Indians’ 30-game conference win streak). Edwardsville is led by All-American A.J. Epenesa, who plays a monstrous defensive end, along with strong support from senior quarterback Brenden Dickmann, sophomore running back Dionte Rodgers and a cadre of other playermakers.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Epenesa, who committed to Iowa in January, is a consensus top 20 recruit nationally.

If the Huskies get past Edwardsville, their draw could include a gauntlet of Oswego, HomewoodFlossmoor, Loyola, and ironically enough, a possible rematch against Hinsdale Central in the state final.

Those four teams, collectively, are 36-0.

If OPRF survives its daunting draw, not only will the Huskies have earned a state title, I’ll check head coach John Hoerster for a pulse.

Thankfully, the state playoffs never follow a surefire script. Upsets are the seasonings that spice up Sports Editor sports for fans. And make no mistake, OPRF has the ability to win or lose against the state’s elite football programs.

In fact, as an armchair prognosticator, I offer you this prediction with assurance: I have no idea how the Huskies will fare in the 8A playoffs.

Since Hoerster took over as the head coach in 2011, OPRF is 3-4 in the playoffs and has never gotten past the second round. The Huskies have produced solid postseason wins over teams like Dundee-Crown and Fremd but flameouts as well against the likes of Barrington and Palatine.

Hoerster hit it on the head when I asked him about the 8A playoffs last season. “Class 8A is no joke,” he said. “There are a lot of great teams out there, so you can get beat even

MARTY FARMER

if you play well.”

That quote has always resonated with me when I think about OPRF football from a broader perspective. It’s comforting to know that under Hoerster’s watch, the Huskies have proven they are good for seven or eight wins and a tophalf finish in the highly competitive West Suburban Silver annually.

However, all bets are off once the playoffs kick in. I hope the Huskies win the 8A state title this season. We all do. If they don’t, here’s why: They probably lost to a better team.

What I really hope for is that the community appreciates the well-regarded status OPRF has regained (as has Fenwick football for that matter) within the landscape of high school football.

Hoerster, his coaching staff and the players have put in countless hours over the past five years to restore the Huskies’ tradition of success.

On a personal note, I’ve been touched how gracious the players have been with me during interviews. Guys like Jeremy Hunt, Jared Scott, Jacob Hale, Ryan Molina, Austin Maxwell and Rolliann Sturkey (among so many others), go out of their way to provide good info about the team or simply to say hello.

I wish the Huskies luck, but if you’re looking for Farmer’s Fearless Prediction (a staple of our award-winning website, The Huddle, a few seasons ago), here’s the best I can offer: To steal a line from recent NBA retiree Kevin Garnett, “Anything is possible.”

After all, look at the two teams in the World Series.

OPRF boys cross country takes second at regional Loud wins title, Politis fifth and Vietzen sixth as Huskies move on to tough Marist Sectional

BY MARTY FARMER Sports Editor

O

ak Park and River Forest senior Irwin Loud, a contender to win the Class 3A boys cross country individual state title, opened the postseason well by winning the Hinsdale Central Regional championship.

Loud posted a time of 14 minutes, 47 seconds to finish ahead of Hinsdale Central seniors Ryan Doorhy (15:22) and Ethan Planson (15:23).

“Irwin ran very well but there wasn’t the competition that will be there at the sectional meet,” OPRF coach Chris Baldwin said. “The goal is to go out and run the best race of the season. Irwin is a hard worker who has the ability to push himself like great runners do.”

OPRF senior Matthew Politis earned fifth place at 15:24 followed by junior teammate Matthew Vietzen at 15:30.

“Politis and Vietzen ran very well together,” Baldwin said. “We had five PRs (personal records) on Saturday so it was a good run for CHRIS BALDWIN the Huskies. We are getting things OPRF coach clicking on all cylinders so it was a great outcome for our team.”

Other runners who contributed for the Huskies at the regional include Robert George (14th/15:56), Chance Bayles (19th/16:07), Peter Halloran (22nd/16:17) and Owen Savoy (29th/16:41).
