More details about the Maywood Park District’s financial and managerial turmoil were released during a scathingly tense special Maywood village board meeting on Oct. 24, where park district officials were lambasted for the poor state of the parks by a mayor called a dictator by one trustee and blasted by some people in the audience for what they considered to be his meddling in the affairs of another taxing body. Mayor Booker said he called the Tuesday meeting after learning “about some disturbing matters” at the park district, including the sudden resignation of two park district commissioners, Jeffrey Dean Harris and June Price-Shingles on Oct. 14. By the meeting’s end, Mayor Nathaniel George Booker and most trustees signaled that they had lost faith in the park district to operate, maintain and manage three villageowned properties as the park district has done since the two taxiing bodies signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) in 2022. The board unanimously voted to direct Michael Jurusik, the village attorney, to draft new license agreements for seven community organizations operating out of one of those properties, the Maywood Multipurpose Building at 200 S. 5th Ave. The park district’s new attorney, Adam Simon, said while the park district has its own insurance, it doesn’t require the organizations who use the 200 Building to have liability insurance, a legal hazard for the village and the park district. Jurusik said the 2022 IGA expired in FebSee MAYWOOD PARKS on page 8

Q’s voted ‘Best Pizza’ at Westchester Chamber’s Pizza Palooza By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
The roughly 200 people who attended the first-ever Pizza Palooza hosted by the Westchester Chamber of Commerce at the Westchester Recreation Center, 10835 Wakefield Ave. on Oct. 27, have spoken. They saw, they tasted and they decided. Q’s Restaurant & Pizzeria, 4841 Butterfield Rd. in Hillside, was voted the “Best
Pizza” among six restaurants competing for the honor, along with two niche prizes for “Best Crust” and “Best Sauce.” So, what makes Q’s pizza so good? It might be the popular thin crust. For others, it’s the old-school neon sign that’s become somewhat iconic on Butterfield. One blogger wrote of the sign: “I can pretty much tell upon sight if a place is good or not … The lighted sign was the first sign that Q’s was serious.”
The old-school Italian tavern has been an institution in Hillside for more than 60 years, so it may have had the edge over its competitors. Or not. Sam Failla came to Pizza Palooza from Downers Grove, so he may not have had a dog in the fight. “This was great,” he said of Friday’s

event. “The pizza was good, the entertainment was even better. It was a blast.” Who got his vote for “Best Pizza”? Q’s. The competition, though, was stiff. Q’s may have won the overall price, but two other restaurants took top honors in the niche categories. The Original Chickies Beef & Banquet, 4152 Roosevelt Rd. in Hillside, earned the top prize in the “Best Crust” category while Paul’s Pizza & Hotdogs, 3044 S. Wolf Rd. in Westchester, earned bragging rights for“Best Sauce.” John Watson, the Westchester Chamber’s vice-president-elect and the event’s primary organizer, said the goal of the event was to introduce the local community to food vendors. “They come out and get samples of pizza and the vendors are happy because they’re
making new customers,” Watson said. “ Our job at the Chamber is to connect businesses to people and that’s what we’re doing.” Other restaurants that participated included Duncan & Dada’s BBQ Company, 10159 W. Cermak Rd. in Westchester; Ledo’s Pizza, 5525 South La Grange Rd. in Countryside; and Al’s Pizzeria, 9253 W. Cermak Rd in North Riverside. Watson said restaurants that were Chamber members were invited to participate first before they expanded their recruitment to include restaurants within a certain radius of the village. He said people are already talking about having similar events centered on different popular foods like chicken wings and Italian beef. Westchester Village President Greg Hribal said Pizza Palooza is the latest example of the village collaborating with other organizations and taxing bodies to host unique programs for residents. “The village always supports the Chamber’s events,” Hribal said. “This event was designed to bring pizza restaurants and our residents together. The village is trying its best to collaborate wherever possible. We’re doing the same thing with the Westchester Park District.”

NEWS briefs One Stop Express In Maywood Closed ‘Until Further Notice’ Due To Health Violations A small Maywood grocer is closed “until further notice” due to numerous health violations, said Maywood Mayor Nathaniel George Booker, in a statement he posted to Facebook on Oct. 25. On Oct. 26, a sign posted to the entrance door of One Stop Express, at 1014 S. 17th Ave., notified patrons that the store was closed. The mayor said One Stop’s health violations include the lack of handicap parking spaces, a missing rear garbage corral, defective sections of the ceiling and walls in the rear storage area and bathroom, and deteriorated floor covering in the butcher area, among other violations. In his post, Mayor Booker included photographs of meat in bags, one of them with blood seeping through, strewn on the floor of what appears to be a rear room in the store. The mayor said the village has contacted the Cook County Health Department about the violations. Representatives from One Stop and the health department could not be immediately reached for comment on Thursday afternoon.

Police later found burnt fabric in that same fire pit.” ABC 7 said prosecutors allege that Brown “called an Uber to the airport and flew to Mexico on the morning of Sept. 15 while booking Airbnb rentals with his mother’s credit card.” Brown played football at Proviso East and Notre Dame before his NFL career with the Patriots, Jaguars, Colts and Bills. Brown’s next court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 22.
Nashville-Style Hot Chicken Restaurant Coming To Bellwood A new restaurant specializing in chicken will soon open in Bellwood.

Prosecutors Detail Sergio Brown Murder Charges ABC 7 recently reported on the details of Sergio Brown’s Oct. 25 court hearing. A judge acepted Cook County prosecutors request to keep Brown in custody as he faces charges of first degree murder and concealing a homicide in the death of his mother, Myrtle Simmons-Brown, 73. Prosecutors said evidence proved the former NFL player and Proviso East graduate is a flight risk. Simmons-Brown’s body was discovered Sept. 16 in Silver Creek behind the Maywood home where she and her son lived. Family had reported the two missing a day earlier. Authorities ruled that Simmons-Brown died from multiple injuries due to an assault and ruled her death a homicide. Brown was deported on Oct. 7 after law enforcement officials discovered him in Mexico. Prosecutors said he planned to travel to Columbia. During the Wednesday court hearing, Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Jose Villarreal said investigators “noticed some blood on the patio of that home, which, they said, matches [Sergio Brown’s] DNA,” ABC 7 reported. “Some of the victim’s belongings were also missing until investigators pinged the phone’s location, tracing it back to the same location of the

A lot of their customers have complained about the food,” Soni said. “We also have lots of neighborhoods around here and a lot of working people.” For more info on JJ’s Cluckin Firebird visit yelp.com/biz/jjs-cluckin-firebird-bellwood

Local seniors shine at Hillside fashion show By MICHAEL ROMAIN In 2023, according to the National Poll on Healthy Aging, 29% of adults between the ages of 50 and 80 reported feeling isolated from others, a decline from the 2020 peak of 56% but slightly higher than the 27% of survey respondents who reported feeling isolated in 2018. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that social isolation is correlated with a range of ailments and diseases, including dementia, stroke and depression. Experts have emphasized that among the strongest antidotes to loneliness are strong relationships and community networks. Locally, Bellwood resident Freda Westbrook may have something to do with easing loneliness among her community of older adults. And she does it in her own, very grand style — with some food, sharp clothing and a runway. Westbrook hosted her fourth annual This Is Me Fashion Show at the Eisenhower Building, 700 Speechley Blvd. in Hillside on Oct. 28. Between watching models, attendees socialized, listened to music and enjoyed catered food. “I’m not a designer,” Westbrook said. “I just do this for the people, to help the people out. This is something I can do to give back, so old-
er people can come out and have a good time.” Sandra Huff, one of the judges of the fashion show, said the annual event has become a staple at the Senior Suites of Bellwood Senior, 3201 Randolph St. in Bellwood, where she and Westbrook live. “She used to do this at our building, the Senior Suites, but it had gotten a little larger over the years and that’s why she had it here this year,” Huff said. “This is something nice to do. I try do go to everything I can while I can.” The fashion show featured Rex Drake, who goes by the moniker, “The Dynamic R. Drake.” “I was with Frieda at the first fashion show,” said Drake, 70. “I’ve been modeling all over Chicagoland since I was a teenager. I’m a freelance model.” For former model Angelique Edeko, the This Is Me Fashion Show was as much about raising the esteem of the collective as it was about self-esteem. “I was a model, but I’m also a loving idol for all these beautiful queens,” said Edeko, who also goes by Mama Edeko. She said she and her daughter also host a fashion show in Chicago’s South Loop. “I represent them and they represent me,” Edeko said.

D209 creates a plan to address low student attendance By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Proviso Township High School District 209 (D209) officials are exploring ways to address the state of student attendance in the district. During a D209 board meeting on Oct. 24, Acting Supt. Bessie Karvelas said administrators are working on a district-level plan for addressing chronic truancy and chronic absenteeism. “We did not have an actual procedure for our students who were cutting classes,” Karvelas said. “We did, of course, have a policy from the state for chronic truancy, but [not] an actual policy for students who had unexcused absences and how we connected it to our [classroom support systems]. We wanted something more specific [...] that teachers can use in the classroom.” Sharon Williams, the deputy superintendent, presented the district’s plan for board members at the Oct. 24 meeting. Williams said a student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more of total school days and chronically truant if they miss between 5% and 10% of total school days. The district has an eight-period day and attendance at six or seven class periods is considered a full day. Among the three D209 schools, Proviso West in Hillside has had the lowest rate of attendance across eight periods so far this school year. Attendance is between 83% and 87% during the four lunch periods and between 78% and 86% during the four non-lunch periods. At Proviso East, attendance is around 88% during the four lunch periods and ranges from 83% to 88% during the four non-lunch periods. At the Proviso Math and Science Academy (PMSA) in Forest Park, attendance ranged from 93% to 95% during the four non-lunch periods and from 94% to 95% during the four lunch periods. Williams said building-level administrators and staffers are taking a range of actions to address poor student attendance, including tracking weekly attendance, scheduling parent conferences, writing 5- and 10-day absence letters, communicating with family members, recognizing students with good attendance and referring students to outside entities like West40 and Proviso Area for Exceptional Children (PAEC). West40 is an intermediary between the state board of education and area public schools that provides schools with additional resources and support for teachers, students and administrators. PAEC is a special education school for area students located in Maywood.
Williams said a variety of factors play into students skipping school, including a lack of interest, tardiness, exclusionary discipline practices like out-of-school suspensions, gaps in the district’s student attendance record-keeping and what she called “Post-Covid Attendance Syndrome.” “Since the pandemic, many students have failed to attend school on a full-time basis,” Williams said. “We do have an interest problem with school and we have to find ways to engage students to make sure they’re here every day.” She said academic “Post-Covid Attendance Syndrome” tracks with a similar dynamic playing out in physical workplaces that have been emptied since the pandemic and have since had difficulty enticing employees, many of whom have adjusted to working remotely, back into the office. Williams singled out students’ participation in extracurricular activities and an engaging classroom experience as two of the most important ways to make school interesting for students. She said the district’s new Framework for Attendance Support will focus “on the most egregious truancy and absenteeism” in the district. Each school will have what officials are calling a Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) Plan comprising three tiers. Each tier has a series of actions to address student attendance. Tier 1 is for all students in the district and includes monitoring student attendance each week, establishing conferences with teachers, school leaders and families at least once each grading period, and creating a Behavior, Attendance, Grades (BAG) report for each student. Williams said the BAG reports will “help students see at a glance what their behavior, attendance and grades are looking like [...] teachers, families and students will have a one-sheet [document[ showing] where they are in the semester.” Tier 2 is for chronically absent or truant students or those in danger of becoming chronically absent or truant. The tier includes a referral to West40’s truancy support resources, attendance contracts requiring weekly check-ins, weekly support group sessions facilitated by teachers, school counselors and school leaders, and holding conferences about the students’ BAG reports at least twice a month. Tier 3 is for students who are chronically absent and have already been given Tier 2 sup-

East ladies’ flag football and marching band win big By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Two extracurricular organizations at Proviso East High School, 807 S. 1st Ave. in Maywood — one is brand new while the other is decades old — are sitting pretty after major wins. The Proviso East Lady Pirates Flag Football team won the West Suburban Gold Flag Football Championship after defeating Morton High School 20-13 on Oct. 21. In a statement released by District 209 officials, Junior quarterback Maritza Saenz threw a 40-yard touchdown pass with one minute left in the game to seal the Pirates’ victory in dramatic fashion. This is only the second year of women’s flag football in the West Suburban Gold Conference. The Chicago Bears and Nike teamed up last year to cosponsor the sport. In 2022, the Lady Pirates finished the season 5-2 and came in second in the West Suburban Gold Conference before losing to unbeaten Willowbrook in the conference championship game.
This season, the Lady Pirates went undefeated at 8-0 and advanced to the Elite Eight, which included the last eight teams remaining in the state championship playoff series, D209 officials said. The games occurred at the Walter Payton Training Center at Halas Hall, the Chicago Bears headquarters in Lake Forest. The Lady Pirates’ lost 20 to 12 in a close quarterfinal game against Wendell Phillips Academy High School in Chicago on Oct. 28. On the same day the Lady Pirates clenched their conference championship, the Proviso East Marching Band clenched the first-place trophy at the Rich Township Battle of the Bands. “These students have been working, and I couldn’t be more proud of their growth,” said Proviso East Band Director Cletis Seals, Jr. in a Facebook post. Last month, the Marching Pirates won third place at the Chicago Football Classic Battle of the High School Bands. The Sept. 2 event featured eight high school bands in the Chicago area, said longtime band supporter Sue Henry.

ruary and has not yet been renewed. He said if anyone got hurt on the premises of those properties, the park district, the village and the organization facilitating the programming could be sued. Jurusik said he’ll talk with Simon about the possibility of renewing the 2022 IGA, a prospect that doesn’t appear likely given what most board members learned about the park district’s state of affairs. The board also directed Jurusik to review another IGA signed by the village and the park district in 2021 that would facilitate the transfer of six village-owned properties to the park district by no later than Dec. 31, 2022. In 2006, Maywood voters overwhelmingly approved a binding referendum that required the transfer of parks, but the change of ownership has taken nearly 20 years and counting. And, as with the 2022 IGA, given the park district’s recent state of affairs, a renewal of the 2021 IGA may not happen either. Jurusik said the parks were supposed to be transferred in two phases as attorneys for both taxing bodies clear property titles and other issues related to the land transfer. Jurusik said an agreement for transferring the three parks in the first phase has been languishing unsigned at the park district for two months. Simon said he’s only represented the park district for about a week. Jurusik said he’ll have more information on the lapsed IGAs and the license agree-

Qualifying disabled veterans are fully exempt from paying property taxes BY MARIA PAPPAS Cook County Treasurer
Veterans deserve our thanks, especially those whose abilities were diminished as a result of active military service. Illinois law recognizes that. Qualifying veterans whose disabilities are certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible for tax breaks. Veterans classified as fully disabled are exempt from paying any property taxes on their homes. Ronald and Josephine Rabitoy qualified for the Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities, which has been available since 2007. Josephine Rabitoy was a guest on a weekly radio show I host and told listeners how she learned about the benefit. Her husband served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, she said. The Rabitoys, who are both senior citizens, bought a home in north suburban Norridge a few years ago. Josephine said she learned about the exemption for disabled vets when she attended a community senior citizen fair. “We do not have a computer in our home,” she said. “Neither one of us know how to work a computer.” Rabitoy sent me a hand-written letter, which made its way to my desk at the County Building in downtown Chicago. I sent a Treasurer’s Office employee to their home with paperwork they needed to fill out to apply for the exemption. “Not only am I tax-exempt, I’m getting a refund for the last four years,” she said. That refund added up to $17,608. I asked how she planned to spend the money. Like
many refund recipients, she said she planned to invest the money in her home. “I will be getting a new roof on my house and a new roof on my garage,” she said. Rabitoy and her husband at one time considered moving out of state, but because of the refund and exemption have decided to stay in their home, she said. “I’m going to fix up my house,” she said. “And I told my husband, every year we get the exemption we’re going to put it right back into the house, and now we’re going to stay in Illinois.” Veterans with a certified disability of 30% to 49% can qualify for a $2,500 reduction in their home’s equalized assessed valuation. Veterans certified as 50% to 69% disabled can qualify for a $5,000 EAV reduction, and veterans certified as 70% or more disabled qualify for a 100% tax exemption. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides more information about how it certifies eligibility for service-connected conditions that qualify individuals for the Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities. Another benefit called the Returning Veterans Exemption provides a $5,000 reduction in the equalized assessed value of a veteran’s home for the tax year during which they return from military service. Visit cookcountytreasurer.com to learn more about the Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities. It’s a small way of thanking veterans for their service. When you visit the website, you may find other exemptions that can save you money by reducing your tax bill.
