Broadview Family Restaurant held a grand open after $1M build-out

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Jerome Watson, a Broadview resident who lives just up the street from Broadview Family Restaurant, 2417 Roosevelt Rd., in Broadview, had already been to the new and improved family establishment twice since it opened last Thursday.

Watson was a regular at the restaurant when it was called the Marquee — a 40-year staple of the community. After a $1 million, 15-month remodeling project, which included the christening of a new name on the restaurant’s marquee (no pun intended), Watson said he may frequent the restaurant even more than he

Proviso marches for women

On Wednesday, Jan. 17, District 89 held a Data Retreat at the district’s administrative headquarters, 906 Walton St., in Melrose Park, for the 36 members of its strategic planning team — which includes teachers, staff, administration leaders and community stakeholders.

The event was facilitated by Mark Van Clay, senior consultant from the Consortium for Educational Change.

On Saturday, Jan. 20, community members Stacy Saunders, Joe Mitzenmacher, Vicki Haas and Gordon Hanson were out in Chicago for Women’s March 2018 — a reprise of last year’s nationwide march that took place around the same time as Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration.

VILLAGE people Tara Brewer, beloved Broadview trustee Broadview community members are mourning a village official who died on Jan. 17. Tara Brewer, a Broadview trustee, died last Wednesday afternoon at Loyola University Medical Center, according to a statement released by Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson.

“Tara was a trustee since 2015 and a village resident for 45 years,” Thompson stated. “Tara has been a tremendous asset to our community and was instrumental in the passing of the 2017-2018 village budget.

“She is survived by her son, Dereon Adams and her parents, Lacy and Hattie Brewer. She will be sorely missed. Remembrances can be sent to the Village of Broadview, 2350 S. 25th Ave, Broadview, IL, 60155.”

The statement did not go into detail about the cause of Brewer’s

death and did not include her age. According to several village officials, Brewer had been seriously ill for a period of time before her death.

In her memory, the flags over the Broadview administration building flew at half-staff on Jan. 18.

Brewer’s visitation will take place on Friday, Jan. 26, 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Wallace Funeral Home, 2020 W. Roosevelt Rd, in Broadview.

Her homegoing service will take place on Saturday, Jan. 27, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. (viewing), and 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. (service), at Garden of Prayer Church, 2001 S. 17th Ave., in Broadview.

The intermittent will be at Oak Ridge Cemetary, 4301 Roosevelt Rd., in Hillside. Flowers and Donations are welcomed.

MARQUEE OPENING It’s back from page 1 did in the past.

“This one is much better,” he said between sipping an order of soup on Jan. 18, the day of the new and improved restaurant’s grand opening. “It’s bigger, the menu is larger, everything is just more enjoyable.”

For Lindop District 92 school board member Princess Dempsey, who was also a regular at the Marquee, the catfish — and the service — is all the rage.

“She’s a good server, she takes care of us,” Dempsey said of waitress Kassandra Arboleda, who was all smiles as she passed out complimentary slices of cakes before the official ribbon-cutting of the restaurant that virtually everyone interviewed called a definite improvement over the old one.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson lauded the reconstructed and renamed establishment.

“This has been a pillar of the community for many years,” she said during the grand opening. “And it has improved. The video gaming in the old place was out in the open, now you don’t see it. The bathrooms are bigger. It’s very nice.”

During the ribbon-cutting, Thompson recalled the moment that Anthony Donato, the restaurant’s 33-year-old owner, asked her to recommend a name for the newly remodeled facility.

“I said it should be the Marquee and Anthony said, ‘I’m thinking about changing the name.’ I told him to talk to his wife,” Thompson recalled, laughing — the implication is that enacting such a major identity change for a place with four decades of history and memories is best left to the owners.

But although the name is changed, the restaurant’s DNA is very much intact, said Donato, who had just taken over ownership

MAYWOOD WATER Exploring alternatives from page 1 would explore the feasibility of the measure.

“The contract [with Melrose Park for water transmission] is up somewhere around 2020 or so,” said Trustee Isiah Brandon, who introduced the proposal. “I think it would be a great idea to put together some sort of commission to explore the possibility of Maywood being able to tap into … water traveling through our community.”

Trustee Henderson Yarbrough, who echoed Brandon’s point, added that “now is the time, because it’s going to take a lot of time and effort due to the number of communities that will be affected.”

Yarbrough recommended that the village start the process of exploring the feasibility

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW: Anthony Donato, owner of Broadview Family Restaurant, inside of his newly remodeled establishment during the Jan. 18 grand opening. Below right, village officials and community leaders during the ribbon-cutting. of the Marquee when he decided to remodel.

“I operated the Marque for three months before starting the remodel,” he said. “The old restaurant has a lot of history and a builtin base of loyal customers, but there wasn’t a lot of space to accommodate their needs.”

Donato said that the redesigned establishment features a larger floor plan to accommodate groups of up to 30 people.

The expanded menu still carries family diner staples like pancakes and burgers, but the longer operating hours (the Marquee was only open until 3 p.m.) mean that Broadview Family Restaurant can really show off its dinner menu, which Donato said features a Grecian and Italian flair.

Work started on the build-out last year, under former mayor Sherman Jones, and was helped along by $350,000 in TIF funds offered by the village of Broadview.

Jones, now a trustee, said that he believes

the TIF investment will more than pay off in the long term, adding that the remodel is part of a larger pattern of new investment taking place in the village.

“We have a lot of stuff going on around here,” he said. “Everything in a municipality centers around finances. You have to generate, and continue to improve, your finances. And this is how we find a way to generate more revenue without increasing property taxes.”

Other village officials, like Clerk Kevin McGrier, who is also vice-president of Broadview’s Chamber of Commerce, agreed.

“This does nothing but spur more business to come here,” McGrier said of the remodeled restaurant. “A business owner who sees this as a thriving business gets more inspiration to come here.”

Donato said that he was looking forward to another 40 years.

“This cost over $1 million and we were over-budget, it took a while, but all that matters is we’re open now,” he said. “We’ll be here forever.”

of tapping into a different water source by consulting experts from the West Central Municipal Conference, an organization that helps foster cooperation between local governments in West Cook County and DuPage County. The WCMC maintains a public works committee.

Maywood officials touted the possibility of tapping into another water source as an alternative to paying Melrose Park around $1.3 million a year for water.

According to data released by the Maywood Village Manager Willie Norfleet, Jr., the village pays Melrose Park a debt service cost of $630,848 each year to maintain the water infrastructure and $671,580 each year for the cost of delivering the water from the city of Chicago.

That’s on top of $3.6 million each year that Maywood pays to the city of Chicago to purchase its drinking water in the first place, according to village data. Chicago

increased the cost of its water by 25 percent in 2012, 15 percent in both 2014 and 2015, and roughly 2 percent in 2017, Norfleet said.

In addition to the cost of purchasing and delivering the water, the village is also burdened by an estimated $1.7 million worth of unpaid accounts, including another $600,000 for closed accounts, he said.

Add into the mix the cost of fixing constant leaks (including four water main leaks that happened this month, Norfleet said) due to half-century-old infrastructure, unauthorized water usage by contractors and inoperable meters, among other problems, and the situation becomes seemingly insurmountable for a local municipality to resolve on its own.

That’s what Norfleet and his counterparts, including officials from Harvey and Ford Heights, concluded during a Cook County public hearing held on the matter on Jan. 9.

After the Tribune report found that

residents in some of the Chicago area’s lowest-income municipalities pay nearly six times more for water than those in the wealthiest municipalities, Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st) called the public hearing to explore the matter.

At the hearing, according to a Jan. 9 Tribune article, village officials from some of those cash-strapped municipalities “found common ground on the need for increased state and federal aid and pledged to seek ways to find it.”

Boykin said that he hoped the hearing would catch the ears of members of Congress who represent municipalities like Maywood, adding that he intends to talk about water infrastructure issues at a meeting of the National Association of Counties in March, the Tribune reported.

“We have to figure out how to make this a front-burner issue,” he said.

Maywood approves Manufacturing Expansion National Cycle plans to build 28K sq. ft. building adjacent present facility

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a Jan. 16 regular meeting, the Maywood Board of Trustees unanimously approved a series of zoning changes that were necessary in order for National Cycle Inc., located at 2200 S. Maywood Drive, in Maywood, to expand its manufacturing operations by building a roughly 28,000-square-foot building on village-owned land nearby.

The company also plans to install a retention basin in an area south of the proposed facility as part of the expansion effort.

In October, the board voted to move the company’s proposal to the village’s Plan Commission / Zoning Board of Appeals, which held a public hearing in November.

According to Joshua Koonce, the village planner, residents expressed “a variety of concerns about traffic increase [and the] proximity of the [proposed] building to the adjacent houses.”

In a findings of fact document, village officials added that residents were also concerned about noise levels, whether or not the facility would invite larger trucks into the area and the number of possible jobs the expansion would bring to Maywood.

National Cycle’s initial

expansion plan “included delivery access to an overhead door facing south directly at 21st Avenue,” village officials explained.

“The proposal was to use 21st Avenue, a residential street, as an access drive to the rear of the facility,” officials added. “Any delivery trucks would turn around in the area directly in front of the home located at 1201 S. 21st Avenue.”

But village staff found that that initial plan would potentially alter “the essential character” of the area and “will arguably be detrimental to the public welfare in the neighborhood in which the property is located.”

Village staff recommended an alternative plan that would feature “an east-facing overhead door, and improved right-of-way access off 19th Avenue, connecting 20th and 21st Avenues.”

Those improvements — which would include paving, in addition to curb and gutter enhancements — would cost approximately

$325,000, according to Hancock Engineering, the village’s contracted engineering firm.

The improvements were included in Hancock’s Capital Improvement Plan released in October, village officials stated.

National Cycle has indicated that “deliveries or pick-up by UPS would only be once a day by normal box trucks rather than semi-trucks,” according to the findings of fact document.

Barry Willey, National Cycle’s president and CEO, said that he will attempt to hire residents of Maywood and Bellwood when possible.

The plan commission voted to recommend

National Cycle’s expansion by a 6-0 vote, with one commissioner absent — but not without recommending that the company work with the village to address a range of quality of life issues.

Those issues, among others, included improving the lighting and fencing on the upgraded right-of-way, and enhancing the condition of some of the green space on 19th Ave. National Cycle was founded in Maywood in 1937 that makes windshields and accessories for motorcycles, among other products.

Maywood: Let’s start giving parks back to park district Board votes to start process of turning over six parks

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a Jan. 16 regular meeting, the Maywood Board of Trustees voted to direct village staff to start the process of transferring six village-operated parks over to the Maywood Park District this year.

The board voted 6 to 1 on the motion, with Mayor Edwenna Perkins providing the only vote against the measure.

The finalization of the transfer is long overdue. In 2006, a ballot measure that passed with more than 75 percent of the vote called for 10 of the 11 parks in Maywood to be under the consolidated ownership of the Maywood Park District.

The village still maintains six of the 10 parks because the consolidation hasn’t been finalized.

Ironically enough, Perkins helped catalyze talks of completing the process when she brought up the issue during a board meeting

last October, where the village board authorized a $285,000 payment from one of its TIF funds to help pay for rehabilitation work on the park district-owned 809 W. Madison St. building.

“The entire village is being taxed by the park district,” Perkins said at the time.

“They should be taking care of all of the parks.”

In an interview days after that meeting, Lonette Hall, the park district’s executive director, said that the district had already been working on a plan to gradually take control of the parks starting in its next fiscal year, which begins May 1.

She said that the district plans to take three parks during the first fiscal year and three parks during the fiscal year after that one.

“It will be a gradual transition,” Hall said last year. “Our intention is to do an even, easy transition.” Hall could not be immediately

reached for comment on Wednesday evening.

At the Jan. 16 meeting, Trustee Isiah Brandon, who introduced the proposal, said that “we should follow up on that

conversation to see how we can [bring] that to fruition.”

Currently, the village maintains Conner-

Heise Memorial Park at 10th Ave. and Washington Blvd.; Winfield Scott Park at 17th Ave. and Maywood Drive; Bataan Park at 22nd Ave. and Lexington Ave.; Standard Park at 5th Ave. and Lexington Ave.; Tot Lot Park at 4th Ave. and Huron St.; and Water Works Park at 9th Ave. and Maywood Dr. The park district maintains the Central Park District (its current headquarters) at 9th Ave. and Madison St.; Burton Park at 16th Ave. and Washington Blvd.; Tot Lot at S. 10th Ave.; and Bosco Park at 21st Ave. and Railroad Ave. The district also maintains a historic property at 216 S. 10th Ave. The 2006 ballot measure doesn’t apply to the village’s control of Maywood Veterans Memorial Park, located on the corner of 1st Ave. and Oak St., or to the Fred Hampton Aquatic Center (which the village jointly operates with the West Cook YMCA) and the Multipurpose Building at 200 S. 5th Ave.

D209 makes mandatory parent meeting official The meeting comes after board updated parental involvement policy

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

The Proviso Township High Schools District 209 school board is taking steps to increase parental engagement in the lives of the district’s most vulnerable students with the recent passage of an updated parental involvement policy.

The policy now features a range of new incentives designed to intensify the frequency and depth of parental involvement, and the formation of a meeting that parents of students with academic, behavioral and/or attendance problems may be required to attend if those incentives have been exhausted.

During a Jan. 9 regular meeting, the school board voted unanimously on a final version of the updated policy. Board member Rodney Alexander, who introduced the measures, said that the passage of the upgraded policy now paves the way for its implementation, a large part of which will be in the hands of the district’s three building principals and their leadership teams.

Last November, Alexander, who heads up the 30-plus-member Parent and Community Engagement Committee, rolled out the idea of the district creating a mandatory parent meeting to improve the academic performance and instructional setting of students in D209.

Alexander said at the time that “the hurdle” of implementing the mandatory meeting would be “making it policy.”

“Once we get it made policy, we will be meeting to develop a sub-committee to figure out what’s best for the dynamics of the district and how we can be considerate and not do this to be punitive,” Alexander said at the time. “We will be sensitive and considerate about how we do it.”

On Jan. 9, Alexander doubled down on that point, pointing out that a policy that includes a mandatory meeting with district administration members isn’t “as punitive sounding as most might take it.”

According to the policy, the mandatory meeting won’t kick in unless the administration has exhausted a range of

incentives to reward adherence to the School Parent Compact signed by students and their parents/guardians, which is designed to stimulate parental support and student achievement.

The compact, which was already in place, requires parents to “agree to review and acknowledge” their students’ completed assignments, grades, truancy and disciplinary actions, among other requirements, through an electronic performance tracking system.

The district, under the previous version of its parental involvement policy, was already required to provide internet access for parents without it in order for them to adhere to the terms of the compact.

The updated policy expands internet access for parents without it by making the rooms inside of the school buildings in which that access is provided “available at hours that allow parents/guardians with long work schedules to gain access outside normal school hours.”

Alexander’s policy changes allow building principals and their leadership teams the flexibility to put in place a range of incentives — including “the ability to exercise the

privilege of attending extracurricular events such as dances, games, and club activities, and also participation in athletic events” — to encourage further adherence to the compact.

According to the updated policy, students can be removed from the ability to participate in extracurricular events for any reason set forth in the student handbook, including but not limited to, failure to maintain strong academic standing, repeated disciplinary infractions and/or attendance concerns.”

Once those students’ extracurricular privileges are revoked, they will not be able to regain them “unless and until the parent, guardian or other person exercising custody of the student as […] attends a meeting with the District administration to discuss the concerns regarding the student.”

Alexander said that the updated policy gives administration “the ability to be innovative” when it comes to incentivizing students’ academic success and parental engagement.

If those incentives don’t work, Alexander added, “we now want parents to come in and save [their children].”

D209 to start bidding for food service Efforts by Proviso Township High Schools District 209 officials to get rid of Aramark Education Services as the company responsible for feeding district students who qualify for free breakfast and lunch have picked up steam, with a document recently released by the district indicating that they could find another food service provider by June.

Students, teachers, faculty and administration members have been increasingly frustrated by the level of service Aramark has provided over the last two years.

As previously reported by Forest Park Review, last July, the D209 school board in begrudgingly approved a one-year, roughly $1.1 million food services contract with Aramark to provide free breakfast and lunch despite many complaints from students and district officials about the quality of the company’s food and services, and the program’s low participation rate.

In November, the school board discussed ways to get

out of its contract with Aramark, despite reports from administration officials that the company had made marginal improvements to its food service in response to the complaints.

At the time, some district officials expressed reservations about possibly starting a legal battle with Aramark and Todd Drafall, D209’s chief financial officer, explained that because the process of bidding for a food service provider is highly regulated by the state, it would be difficult for the district to part ways with the giant food company while also finding an alternative before the 2018 school year.

District officials said that there will time for students, faculty and staff to provide input during the bid process.

In addition, bidders could also be asked to participate in a taste test, provided the Illinois State Board of Education signs off on that measure.

Lessons in empathy span the spectrum The Answer Inc. gives communication skills to disabled, non-disabled alike

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Several weeks ago, Candra Chavda had an epiphany. Chavda — a dance and exercise instructor with the Music N Me program, which caters to young adults with autism and other developmental disorders, ages 20 to 40 — had been having some difficulty connecting with 30-year-old Christopher Joey Gray.

“Sometimes I feel that because he’s not giving me eye contact, he isn’t paying attention — but he is,” Chavda said during an interview earlier this month. “With Joey, I’d have to single him out, stand in front him and constantly say his name.”

One day, Chavda said, she noticed that as she said Gray’s name, he began to follow her closely.

“That showed me that everybody has a different learning style,” said Chavda, who teaches kindergarten full-time. “A different mold.”

Marla Skinner, the program director and coordinator of special projects for Spectrum University — another Saturday program that, along with Music N Me, is operated by the nonprofit The Answer, Inc. — said that each of the roughly 10 to 15 adult learners in the two programs fall somewhere between low and high on the spectrum of cognitive functioning.

Their verbal skills also vary, she said, which can present certain challenges for instructors.

“People don’t really know patience until they’ve worked with someone with special needs, because most of their communication is non-verbal,” Chavda said. “Most of the adult learners have the same [cognitive ability] as my kindergarteners, but they don’t give me the same verbal affirmation. I don’t hear it, but I can feel it.”

Debra Vines, who founded The Answer in 2007 after discovering the dearth of services in communities of color available to families with autistic and developmentally disabled children and adults, has a mission to teach the whole world that kind of patience — starting with Proviso Township.

Vines, whose son Jason is developmentally disabled and a regular participant in her organization’s programs, has helped approximately 4,000 families in Proviso Township and Chicago’s West Side secure resources for children and adult with developmental disorders.

The Answer has established an autism resource center at the Broadview Public Library, trained area first responders in dealing with developmentally disabled individuals and even conducted training in local department stores to show retail workers how to handle those with autism, Down Syndrome and other disorders.

“There’s a need all over the place for these services,” Vines said in a recent interview.

“We’re blessed to have tutors and teachers who don’t work for much, but more people need to know about these resources. There

aren’t enough people making noise about this.”

Indeed, studies show that there is a significant race-based disparity among developmentally disabled children and adults — something that Vines said she’s committed to eliminating, at least on the local level.

According to 2014 data released by the Centers for Disease Control, African American children are 30 percent less likely than white children to be diagnosed with autism and And a 2015 study by the Association of University Centers on Disabilities found that Latino and black adults with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities had lower levels of income and education, and were in poorer mental and physical health than white adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Saturday University

Each Saturday session of Music N Me and Spectrum University is held inside of the Maywood Park District’s headquarters, 921 S. 9th Ave. Skinner said that Spectrum University has three instructors — all of whom have extensive teaching experience working in special education (two are retired while one still works full-time).

Vines said that because of the need, she’s looking to replicate Spectrum University and Music N Me on Chicago’s West Side in the coming months. In addition, she

said, she’ll be expanding both programs to accommodate young people, ages 13 to 18, in the spring.

Those developments translate into more of those Aha! moments that Skinner and Chavda say they, and participating families, experience each week.

“One student of ours had started talking at home,” Skinner said. “Her mom said that her child hadn’t even communicated with her until she started working with The Answer.”

Skinner said that the students are working on life skills this semester — learning to read sales papers, understanding exits in a facility in case of an emergency and counting currency, among other critical skills.

Stephan Hughes, of Bolingbrook, said that the program has been so effective, he brings his son, Stephan, Jr., 33, all the way to Maywood each Saturday.

“He likes this and as long as it benefits him, I’m satisfied,” Hughes said. “I haven’t checked into any other place.”

Angie Smith said that her son, Corey, has started to show signs of progress with his writing. He’s starting to leave unprompted notes for his parents around the house, she said.

“What society and what we sometimes don’t understand is that they have feelings and the same behavior we have,” Skinner said. “It’s just the way you communicate with them.”

At the time, Bronaugh said that while the cause of the first fire was still unknown, he didn’t suspect that it was malicious.

As for the second fire?

“We have a couple of ideas,” the chief explained without going into details. “We’ll know more when we get back out here Monday. It’s a little odd that it happened again, but it’s not unusual. Things like this have happened before but they don’t happen often.”

Bronaugh said that area residents told investigators that no one had apparently been at the home the day of the fire.

VILLAGE perspectives

The work continues “The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate action of its members,” Coretta Scott King once said. This past year, there was a lot of excitement in the village. Let’s take a review of some of the projects that have taken place during this time period.

Community Outreach

ISIAH BRANDON

It has been a pleasure connecting with residents throughout the community — from catching a play at Proviso East High School to watching some of our young people participate in the Proviso Idol competition to connecting with our seniors at the annual Thanksgiving dinner that I sponsored alongside Mayor Edwenna Perkins, Trustee Kimyada Wellington, Oak Street Health and Nu World Ryders.

I also had the pleasure of working with the Eugene Moore dinner organizers delivering dinners and attending the 13th Positive Toy giveaway, which was a great success! In November, Mayor Perkins, Trustee Wellington, Oak Street Health and Vision of Love and I were able take 100 seniors to the movies and provide them with a snack at the annual Maywood Seniors Day at the Movies.

I was also thoroughly pleased with the Kings Daughters Ministry’s annual Thanksgiving giveaway event, which gets bigger and better each year. For the third consecutive Christmas, I delivered toys to Lincoln Elementary. The event gave me the chance to connect with our local schools.

The excitement on the students’ faces was priceless.

I also attended a Nu World Ryders annual giveaway and assisted PLCCA at their annual giveaway. In addition, allow me to take this time to congratulate Operation Uplift on 50 years of service to our community. At this event, our youth delegate, Anahi Soto, was honored with an award.

Public Safety

Public Safety continues to be a top concern of mine. It is my hope that we will have a stronger presence throughout the community, as well as business check-ins to ensure the safety of our resident and businesses. I have communicated this at our last board meeting to my board colleagues.

I strongly encourage our residents to attend our MAPS meetings to work with us as we seek to keep our community safe.

Fiscal Responsibility

3 percent. My position came from a deep understanding of the financial hardships faced by many of our residents.

At our board meeting in January, I presented two proposals to my board colleagues that passed with overwhelming support.

The first proposal, which passed unanimously, would create a commission to conduct a feasibility study on the village possibly tapping into a water line that runs through Maywood. This could potentially save taxpayers lots of money.

The second proposal, which passed 6 to 1, directed staff to start the conversation with the Maywood Park District about turning over parks that the village should have turned over to the park district 12 years ago.

This would finally fulfill the requirements of a consolidation referendum that passed by a large margin 12 years ago and would allow our village staff to focus on keeping our streets cleaned.

During the conversation on the tax levy, I was a vocally in support of the fact that we should raise the tax levy no more than

Local Workforce Enhancement & Development

I am truly excited about the energy surrounding development activities within the village. At our last board meeting, we approved the expansion of National Cycle, a business that has an international blueprint and that has been in Maywood for decades.

I was able to tour the Mit Trucking Company’s facility in Broadview along with by board colleagues. This company is looking into possibly expanding their operations on 9th Ave. and St. Charles in Maywood.

In addition, a developer presented a proposal for First and Lake Street, which included bringing in some much need additional retail to that area. I continue to strongly believe that community development precedes economic development. What that looks like is the village continuing to make major investment in infrastructure improvements and making the bold decision on dealing with the age-old issues that have been around for decades.

It’s going to take all of us, so I encourage you to join me in the conversation about how we can improve our community.

At the national League of Cities Summit I was able to identify some great programs that I believe that we should look into. One of the programs is a biking program to go along with our Prairie Path, and the other program is a sister city program.

Village staff is currently looking at the feasibility of implementing the biking program and hopefully it will be up and running in the spring.

Area homeless shelters filled

Last Thursday, Lynda Schueler, the executive director of the Maywoodbased nonprofit Housing Forward, issued what amounted to an emergency allpoints bulletin by email to significant stakeholders in Housing Forward’s PADS shelter program with an urgent appeal for reinforcements in the fight against homelessness.

She described the critical situation challenging Housing Forward’s resources this way: “I’m reaching out to you all about the increasing numbers of people in need of our shelter services. Since the shelter season began in September, our turn-away numbers (defined as the total number of times we had to turn someone away at the shelter due to capacity) are more than double during the same time period a year ago.”

The PADS Shelter sites at local churches are regularly turning away 10 to 20 people on Sunday through Thursday nights, because the shelters are full to capacity.

Fewer people are turned away on Friday and Saturday evenings, because greater capacity exists on those nights.

Compounding the problem is that the number of families served since September is up by 70 percent from last year, and single moms with children are staying twice as long than in years past.

Families are also guaranteed shelter, which then reduces the number of beds available for single adults.

“As you might imagine,” Schueler said, children in the shelter is not ideal for a host of reasons, but a reality that we are trying to manage with the resources we have.”

She added that there is no simple solution to the crisis, which is national in scope.

“Organizing more shelter sites and recruiting new crews of volunteers and meal groups doesn’t happen overnight,” Schueler said.

In her Jan. 11 email, she invited the nonprofit’s stakeholders to a meeting later this month at St. Christopher Episcopal Church in Oak Park, one of nine seasonal shelter sites that comprise the PADS shelter rotation, for an “open discussion about possible responses to what the PADS Shelter is currently experiencing.”

During a Jan. 9 edition of NPR’s Here and Now, Nan Roman, the president and CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, pointed out that “35 percent of people who are homeless are not sheltered.”

“We have about 550,000 homeless people [in the U.S.] but only about 275,000 emergency beds,” he said. “So this is something that causes issues when we have these kind of serious cold snaps.”
