VILLAGE NEWS >> NILES-MAINE LIBRARY

Library sets priorities for next 18 months

BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

The Niles-Maine District Library Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the strategic plan priorities for the next 18 months during their July 19 meeting.

The board originally approved the strategic plan for the next four years during its April 19 meeting.

This vote laid out what parts of the

plan will take priority until the end of 2018, and what steps the library would take to implement them. It included improving building navigation, improving customer service, looking into ways to improve service on the northwestern side of the library district, putting more resources into community engagement, exploring more community partnerships, increase cultural awareness among staff and looking into whether the library’s Chapter One newsletter can be improved.

As library director Susan Lempke explained to the board, the library already has two major projects on its hands before the end of next year. On April 2018, the library will switch its catalog and patron database, which is used to check out, reserve and keep track of library materials, going from software provided by SirsiDynix to software provided by Polaris. The library will also be setting up passport services. Because of the complexity of both tasks and the training the staff

would have to go through, there is only so much the staff will be able to do. As the result, some of the more complicated and time-consuming aspects of the plan have been pushed back.

For now, there are several major priorities. Lempke said that patrons have been complaining that it isn’t always easy to find their way around the library – noting, for example, that the board meeting room doesn’t have a sign on the door to idenify it. The staff will en-

sure all rooms that patrons use are more clearly labeled, put a library map on the first floor, improve labels for various library sections, add signs pointing toward restrooms and meeting rooms. During busy times, a staff member will be stationed by the door to help patrons find their way, and all staff members will learn how to give patrons directions as clearly as possible.

NEWS >> PARK RIDGE CITY COUNCIL

Council approves Uptown parking changes Aldermen decided to delay implementation until Oct. 1

BY IGOR STUDENKOV Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers nweditor@buglenewspapers.com

The Park Ridge City Council approved most of the changes recommended for the Uptown area during its July 17 meeting.

While originally, the changes were supposed to take effect 10 days after they were approved, the aldermen decided to delay implementation until Oct. 1. The new rules are just the first in the series of changes recommended by Gewalt Hamilton Associates as part of their study to improve Uptown parking.

The idea was to create a comprehensive, area-wide approach to the ongoing parking problems instead of trying to address issues one by one as they popped up.

The first ordinance dealt with Uptown Court parking lot, located on the northeast side of Northwest Highway, east of the three-way Northwest Highway/Prospect Avenue/Touhy Avenue intersection.

Gewalt Hamilton recommended changing it from a three-hour free parking one to a 90-minute free parking zone.

Dino Vlahakis, co-owner of the

Pickwick Theatre, located at the southeast corner of that intersection, objected, noting that most movies run around two hours, so it would hurt his customers. He also recommended doing away with time limits on free parking altogether during evening hours to encourage customers to not only go to the movies, but to dine in at the many nearby restaurants.

“It would be great if you eliminated it, because people want to take their time, they want to have a four-course meal, they want to have a glass of wine,” Vlahakis said.

“Ideally, 5:30 p.m. would be a great time to stop it.”

When Ald. Nicholas Milissis (2nd) noted that, in his experience, residents who go to Pickwick tended to park somewhere closer. Vlahakis agreed that was the case – but he would still prefer for all parking lots in the area to have the 3-hour free parking for most of the day and no time limits in the evenings.

Ald. Gail Wilkening (3rd) suggested making it 2-hour free parking instead. But other aldermen voted for the proposal, approving it 6-1.

The next two resolutions changed the parking on the stretches of Meecham Avenue and Morris Street between Northwest Highway and Touhy Avenue from 2-hour free parking to 3-hour free parking. Both of them were passed unanimously.

The next ordinance proved to be more contentious. It dealt with changes to the northern half of the Summit Mall parking lot. As with the Uptown Court parking lot, Gewalt Hamilton recommended changing it from three-hour free parking one to a 90-minute free parking zone. Vlahakis strongly objected, noting that this was the closest lot to Pickwick, so it would affect his business most directly.

“This one, we’re going to fight,” he said.

Ald. John Moran (1st) said that, while he supported Gewalt Hamil-

“These restaurants [at the shopping center], along with Pickwick, I think [they] would be hurt by this,” he said.

Most of the aldermen wound up agreeing with him, voting down that ordinance 1-6, with Ald. Marc Mazucca (6th) casting the only ‘yes’ vote. The next ordinance, which changed the southern half of the lot from 5-hour metered parking to 3-hour free parking, was passed unanimously. The ordinance to change the parking along the stretch of Prospect Avenue between the three-way intersection and Union Pacific Northwest Metra Line railroad tracks from free threehour parking to free 15-minute parking, was passed unanimously

as well, though Mazucca said he voted with a caveat.

“I will be voting for it as pilot. I still have my reservations about how we’re treating long-term parking,” he said. “I’d like to see how it goes, it see if it’s a success, before we expand to other locations.”

True to his word, when the council considered a resolution making the same change for the stretch of Main Street between Prospect and Touhy Avenues, Mazucca voted ‘no.’ Ald. Charlie Melidosian, wound up voting with him, saying that he shared his college’s concern.

Wilkening joined them as well, and the council wound up voting 4-3 to approve it.

NEWS FROM THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES THURSDAY, JULY 27, 2017 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM

PLYMOUTH NOTCH, Vermont When was the last time you heard a member of one political party praise a member of the other party?

Here in this hamlet nestled among the Green Mountains, former Baltimore Democratic Mayor Kurt Schmoke rose to speak well of our 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, a Republican. The occasion was the annual celebration of Coolidge’s birthday on July 4, the only president born on the day we celebrate America’s birth.

Perhaps it takes the death of one and the absence from public office of another (Schmoke is now president of the University of Baltimore) to cool political passions, but the former mayor’s respect for Coolidge’s commitment to civil rights for African Americans and full voting rights for women long before both movements got moving was, itself, moving.

Schmoke quoted from a commencement address Coolidge delivered on June 6, 1924 at Howard University, a historically black college founded in 1867. The previous year, 29 black people were lynched in the U.S., according to Historical Statistics of the United States. In 1924, there would be 16 more.

Coolidge was vehemently opposed

UPTOWN FROM PAGE 2 or Mayan temple. The name was chosen by developer and former Park Ridge mayor William Malone, who named it after the title character in Charles Dickens’ novel “The Pickwick Papers.”

The theatre was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. In the 1980s, it gained some national attention after its marquee was used in the opening credits for Siskel & Ebert at the Movies television show. In 1990, the Vlahakis family expanded the theaters, adding three new screens behind the original auditorium.

Today, the theater continues to screen first-run movies, but it also screens some of the more unique fair. It plays host to Park Ridge Public Library’s Classic Film series, and, during the July,

The colored people have repeatedly proved their devotion to the high ideals of our country. ... The propaganda of prejudice and hatred which sought to keep the colored men from supporting the national cause (WWI) completely failed. The black man showed himself the same kind of citizen, moved by the same kind of patriotism as the white man.”

The Howard speech wasn’t a oneoff. Coolidge made a similar pronouncement in his first State of the Union address on Dec. 6, 1923: “Numbered among our population are some 12 million colored people. Under our Constitution, their rights are just as sacred as those of any other citizen. It is both a public and a private duty to protect those rights.”

Coolidge lost every Southern state in the 1924 election, but won all the rest, save Wisconsin, taking 54 percent of the popular vote and 72 percent of the electoral vote.

It would be 40 years before President Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, signed civil rights legislation recognizing rights that Coolidge (and Thomas Jefferson) believed were endowed to

it screens “kaiju” giant monster movies as part of G-Fest, a Japanese science fiction and fantasy convention hosted at the nearby Rosemont. The theatre occasionally screens Fillipino movies and independent films. As previously reported by the Bugle, on in Feb. 10, 2016, it screened a premiere of “Jim Shoe,” an independent drama co-created by Park Ridge resident David Hoelscher.

In his proclamation, which was officially issued during the July 17 City Council meeting, Maloney “extend[ed] sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Vlahakis family for their long-term commitment and dedication to Park Ridge by continuing to keep the Pickwick Theatre, a magnificent artistic masterpiece of every shape and form in our great city.”

Maloney said that Judy Barclay, who

all human beings by their Creator, but Coolidge showed the way.

In his autobiography, Coolidge wrote of an America that is mostly forgotten, but which cries out to be reclaimed: “The neighborhood around the Notch was made up of people of exemplary habits. Their speech was clean, and their lives were above reproach. They had no mortgages on their farms. If any debts were contracted they were promptly paid. Credit was good and there was money in the savings bank.”

He learned from his father what he called “the practical side of government.” He said he, “understood that it consisted of restraints which the people had imposed upon themselves in order to promote the common welfare.”

About taxes he said he learned that when “taxes were laid, someone had to work to earn the money to pay them.

I saw that a public debt was a burden on all the people in a community and while it was necessary to meet the needs of a disaster it cost much in interest and ought to be retired as soon as possible.”

Doesn’t all of this - from Schmoke’s kind words about a member of the opposite political party, to Coolidge’s innate decency and fairness toward all, seem like another country?

It wasn’t. With notable exceptions, it was largely practiced - and expected - in an America not that long ago. Today’s America is in desperate need of rediscovering what Vermonters then saw as self-evident truths.

Nashville native plays in IOW on a tip from her coach; wins tourney

BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Somewhere during the second semester of her junior year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee native Alexandra Farnsworth said she put so much pressure on herself that she took the fun out if the game of golf.

While a brief hiatus helped restore the fun in the game – winning the 23rd annual Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open last week at Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville secured that her enjoyment is back.

“I have had a lot of second and thirds in college play, so this breakthrough really means a lot to me. It is frustrating being in the hunt a lot and not being able to pull through,” Farnsworth said. “I have put a lot of added pressure on myself about going pro and I thought I had to be shooting certain scores to prove myself and I made the game miserable for myself. I took two weeks off and spent time with friends and I am back to really enjoying the game again – and this (win) really helps.”

Farnsworth shot 67s on both Monday and Wednesday of the tournament around a 74 on day two – ending with a total of 8 under par for the tournament.

On the first day of the tournament, Farnsworth carded one of

only five total eagles of the tournament, when she fired a three on the 504-yard par 5 15th hole.

“Monday was a round where golf just felt easy and that doesn’t happen very often as many golfers know,” she said.

“This is an amazing, beautiful course and it really sets up well for my game.”

Farnsworth did not open day three in the lead, but had a hold on first by the turn – although she tried not to look.

“I really, really focused. There are a lot of leaderboards out here and I really focused on not looking at them and just focused on myself and I really think that payed off,” she said citing two key holes on Wednesday that secured the win.

“Fourteen was a lot tougher from the back tee. The pin was very accessible, but it was still a tough shot,” she said. Hitting the green on that hole was important and of course 15 is a visually intimidating hole and I really just tried to focus on my target and stay with my routine.”

If not for a change in assistant coaches at Vanderbilt, she would probably have never traveled to Romeoville for the tournament.

Aimee Neff, who won the Illinois Women’s Open in 2008 and ’09, talked the tournament up to Farnsworth.

In the second round, she converted 19 of 25 attempts to finish with 27 points.

Her hot hand did not stop there.

In her 19 minutes in the All-Star game, Quigley hit 4-of-9 shots from three-point range to finish with 14 points off the bench.

Allie Quigley of the Chicago Sky won the WNBA Three-Point Contest.

Finishing behind Farnsworth at Mistwood were Northwestern University golfer Hannah Kim, who was 6 under par.

Kim was followed by Vivian Tsui and Samantha Postillion, who were both under five under par.

Tsui and Postillion were the two low professionals of the tournament. They split the first

and second-place payouts, each taking home $4,250.

“I have been playing as a pro for over two years now,” Postillion said. “This is my biggest professional check. The most I won before this was a Mini Tour event and that was $2,500.”

Postillion played in the IWO this season on the heels of playing in her first-ever LPGA event

in June – the Manulife LPGA Classic at Whistle Bear Golf Club in Cambridge, Ontario Canada.

“That was probably the coolest experience in professional golf that I have had so far,” Postillion said. “I did not play as well as I wanted. I shot in the upper 70s, but it was a great learning experience, but I was a bit too nervous.”

NEWS ABOUT LOCAL BUSINESSES IN YOUR COMMUNITY THURSDAY, JULY 27, 2017 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM LIBRARY FROM PAGE 1 The library will also work on improving customer service. The library would launch a new staff intranet system – which, Lempke told the board, was long overdue for an upgrade – to improve the flow of information. Another major priority was to start looking into ways to improve service in the northwestern parts of Niles and the parts of unincorporated Maine and Northfield townships the library serves. For the next 18 months, the major priority would be to collect data about the area population and their needs, as well as whether the existing public transit system does a good job connecting patrons from those areas to the library.

The library is currently served by Pace route 226 on weekdays and Niles Free Bus route 410 all week.

However, most residents from the northwest portion of the library service areas would need to make at least one transfer to get to either

route. Lempke said that, once the data is gathered, she would put together a task force to see how the service can be improved.

“I don’t want to form a community taskforce before we know what the taskforce is for,” she said.

“I don’t want to waste anybody’s time.”

Over the past few years, the library has occasionally floated the possibility of opening a branch in the northwestern part of the district. As previously reported by the Bugle, the library had a branch in the area for most of its history, but it was shut down in the late 1980s to save money.

Trustee Dennis Martin, who was elected to the board in April 2017, said he was skeptical of the idea.

“I don’t understand the whole thought process of expanding the service to the northwest side,” he said.

Lempke replied that the households in that part of the library district pay the library share of the property taxes, so it makes sense to do more for them.

Trustee Linda Ryan said she attended an American Library Association conference workshop on branch libraries earlier this year; she learned that there are a number of ways the library could increase their presence in the area without necessarily building a full-fledged brick-and-mortar branch.

“They were saying that it [could be] like an ice cream truck,” she said. “They also had things about storage units and people popping up.”

Another priority was to get the word out about the library’s name change from “Niles Public Library” to “Niles-Maine District Library,” which took effect on July 1. The plan called for changing the existing signage and adding some new signage on the building exterior.

The library would look at into improving marketing. It would look at how the patrons prefer to receive information and take a hard look at the Chapter One quarterly newsletter, surveying patrons to see if it’s an important way of delivering information and look at how the other libraries handle their newsletters.

Martin said that he wasn’t sure whether the marketing was necessary.

“I’m just trying to figure out why we need to have marketing stuff towards libraries,” he said. “We have phenominal resources, but it should be up to schools to communicate it out.”

Board president Karen Dimond said that the plan will be reviewed every three months.
