An empty elementary school in Maywood has been purchased by one of the largest educational support agencies in the state. The West 40 Intermediate Service Center — one of the state’s network of regional education agencies that provide “support to public schools and districts” in the west suburbs, according to the agency’s LinkedIn description — closed its purchase of the former Lexington Elementary School, 415 W. Lexington St. in Maywood, last week. Dr. Mark Klaisner, West 40’s executive director, said the agency purchased the empty school building from Mawood-Melrose Park-Broadview School District 89 for around $330,000. Lexington closed in 2015, when the district implemented a reconfiguration plan. Since then, the school has hosted church services and a COVID-19 testing site, among othSee WEST 40 on page 7

Proviso East alum, community members mourn Chokchai ‘Chuck’ Suwannasri, the popular Al’s Drive In worker who died May 4 By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
While he waited in line at Al’s Drive In, 80 Madison St. in Maywood, on Thursday afternoon, Arian Wade couldn’t help but notice the difference. “It’s not the same,” Wade lamented to
another customer who was waiting in line. As soon as he walked to the window to order, Darrell Stevens asked about the man whom Wade called “the face of this window.” “How’s Chuck? Where’s Chuck at?” Stevens asked the worker taking his order. Art Boonma, the venerable restaurant’s general manager, said he’s fielded the question so much that he had to tape a poster notifying the public about Chuck’s memorial to the takeout window. Chokchai “Chuck” Suwannasri, 63, died on May 4 from cancer. For decades, his gregarious, sincere personality and warmth was what made Al’s so special for so many community members, particularly the students of Proviso East High
School, located right across the street. Wade, who graduated from East in 1989, spoke about Suwannasri as if he were a relative or a close neighbor. “Chuck would already know your order,” Wade said. “You didn’t even have to say nothing. He’d say things like, ‘Where’s your father at?’ He had a good memory.” Stevens, who graduated in 1983, echoed the sentiment. “He was a great guy, man,” Stevens said. “Fun, entertaining — didn’t ever forget your name.” Born in Thailand in 1958, Suwannasri moved to the United States at 14 years old. “We stayed in Baltimore before we moved to Chicago in 1977,” said Boonma, whose sister, Sue Rapanavanich, owns See CHUCK on page 4

By BOB UPHUES Cook County officials including Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Cook County Health CEO Israel Rocha and Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson (D-1st) gathered in North Riverside on April 28 to celebrate Cook County Health administering 1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine. During remarks inside the Cook County Health clinic at 1800 Harlem Ave. on April 28, Rocha said the organization was one of the first health systems in the nation to notch such an achievement and both he and Preckwinkle acknowledged those who made it possible. “This is a great day,” Preckwinkle said. “Think about how far we’ve come since December 2020 [when vaccines rolled out]. That context makes this moment really special.” Preckwinkle also thanked state government and health officials as well as the Illinois National Guard, which was called upon to staff mass vaccination sites and other county vaccination sites – including the North Riverside clinic when vaccines were rolled out to the most vulnerable Illinoisans in early 2021. “Those sites were critical in getting the maximum number of doses into arms as quickly and efficiently as possible in the early months of the pandemic,” Preckwinkle said. “Vaccine administration was a key component of Cook County’s comprehensive COVID-19 response.” Rocha, who became Cook County Health CEO in December 2020, also praised the county’s ability to operate its mass vac-
cination sites, like the one set up in a vacant big-box retail property at the Forest Park Mall, to facilitate the county’s vaccination efforts. In addition, he credited a concerted effort that included not just the county but municipalities, schools, local pharmacies and other organizations for helping increase vaccination rates in Cook County. As of April 28, according to the Cook County Department of Public Health, 86 percent of suburban Cook County residents had received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 65.4 percent had been fully vaccinated. “We have been able to celebrate today that our community has substantially increased protection against this virus,” Rocha said. “And even though we know that we have seen tides come and go between the different levels of infection, we know the COVID vaccines have made a difference.” Hospitalizations and fatalities have decreased dramatically as vaccines have become more prevalent, Rocha said. “When we first set out on this journey our goal was always to reach today, to be able to give one million vaccines to help our county get that sense of relief,” Rocha said. Vaccines and boosters are still being administered at the North Riverside clinic and standing in for the 1 millionth Cook County resident to receive a dose were Pearl Links Goliath and Frederick Goliath, both senior citizens, who were there to get their second boosters. According to Frederick Goliath, 80, the couple wasted no time in getting vaccinated when the doses first became generally available back in January 2021, so they were anxious to get their boosters up to date. “As senior citizens we enjoyed taking the shots when they were offered,” Goliath said. “We got them right away.” CONTACT: info@vfpress.news

NEWS briefs Grassroots Garden Plant Sale returns May 14
Garden Group on facebook.com/grassrootsgardengroup and Instagram @grassroots_ garden_group.
The Grassroots Garden Group, a Westchester organization focused on cleaning and beautification in the village, will host its 4th annual plant sale on Saturday, May 14, 9 a.m. to noon, near the Westchester village fountain located at the southeast corner of Cermak and Mannheim roads. The plants will sell for $5, with the net proceeds going to the Westchester Food Pantry. Since the Grassroots Garden Group was founded in 2015, the non-profit has raised over $10,000 for the pantry from events such as the plant sale and the Group’s annual garden walk, according to a recent statement by the Group. This summer’s garden walk is scheduled for Saturday, July 23. “We are excited to offer residents of Westchester, and nearby towns, the opportunity to enhance their gardens with a great selection of plants and veggies,” said Grassroots Garden Group founder Bethanny Alexander. “Two months ago, we planted tiny seeds that are growing and ready to be transplanted to local gardens to help beautify the landscape,” she said.

Civil War Living History returns to Maywood May 14 After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Civil War Living History, the annual Civil War-era demonstration, is returning to Maywood. This year’s event will be Saturday, May 14, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on the grounds of the historic Maywood Home for Soldiers’ Widows, 224 N. First Ave. in Maywood. As always, the event is free. “Dressed in Civil War uniforms, representing Union troops from the 10th Illinois Volunteer Infantry and 26th Regiment United States Colored Troops, historical interpreters and living historians will take the audience on a spectacular time travel journey,” explained Vicki Haas, one of the event’s planners, in a statement. “This living history event will include men and women who will set up camp, march, perform a firing demonstration, hold a presentation of arms, demonstrate field cooking, and conduct other drills,” Haas said. “President Lincoln is hoping to meet with his troops, and to thank them personally for
their efforts. The re-enactors will be wearing and using authentic items from the Civil War. The public is welcome to dress in period clothing.”
Chicago man charged in deadly First Avenue crash A Chicago man has been charged with a raft of traffic offenses and cited as the cause of the April 30 two-car crash on First Avenue that took the life a young Summit woman. Upon being released from Loyola Hospital where he had been taken after the accident, Luis Duran was arrested by Riverside Police. He has been charged with aggravated driving under the influence, reckless homicide, driving with a revoked license, driving without insurance, transporting open alcohol and being more than 35 miles over the speed limit among other charges. Duran had a bond hearing May 5 at Cook County courthouse in Maybrook. Samantha Nieves, 23, a Summit resident, was killed in the violent crash involving a Chevy Malibu and a GMC sports utility vehicle on First Avenue just south of Waubansee Road in Riverside on the night of April 30. Riverside Public Safety Director Matthew Buckley said the other four people hurt in the crash all suffered non-life threatening in-
juries. Nieves was a front seat passenger in the Chevy Malibu. The crash occurred at about 8 p.m., according to Buckley. The Malibu, which was carrying Nieves and the driver, was headed northbound on First Avenue, according to Buckley. The GMC vehicle, which was carrying three people, was traveling southbound at the time of the crash. Both vehicles sustained substantial damage and Nieves was trapped inside the Chevy and had to be extricated by firefighters from Riverside, Lyons and McCook. Ambulances from Lyons, Berwyn, Brookfield, North Riverside and the Pleasantview Fire Protection District responded to the scene and transported crash victims to Loyola and MacNeal hospitals. Riverside police used witness accounts and accident reconstruction to determine the cause of the accident was excessive speed and Duran’s impaired condition. Riverside police were assisted by the West Suburban Major Crimes Task Force (WESTAF) Major Crash Investigation Team in handling the crash reconstruction. CONTACT: info@vfpress.news
Forest Park seeks denial of liquor license for Madison St. bar Forest Park Police Chief Kenneth Gross has asked the mayor not to renew Forest Park Tap Room’s liquor license By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter
Forest Park Police Chief Kenneth Gross has filed a complaint asking Mayor Rory Hoskins, who also serves as the village’s liquor commissioner, not to renew Forest Park Tap Room’s liquor license. Since it opened on Oct. 23, 2020, inside the former Healy’s Westside space at 7321 Madison St., the bar has faced multiple complaints about loud music, fights and violating COVID-19 mitigation limits in place at the time. Those alleged actions resulted in multiple liquor license suspensions and an attempt to have its liquor
license revoked. In his complaints, Gross wrote that, in addition to those issues, the bar owners lied on their initial Forest Park liquor license application. Specifically, the complaint said owners were not forthcoming about liquor license violations at a bar they own in Berwyn or about one of the co-owner’s arrest records. An initial hearing on the matter was held May 2 and will reconvene on May 11 at 11 a.m. at the Forest Park Village Hall. The Tap Room is co-owned by brothers Lance and Hansel Law, who have also owned Berwyn Tap Room, 6330 16th St., since 2019. The bar has had its Forest Park liquor license suspended three times since its opening – most recently March 4 through 11 – due to Tap Room’s alleged failure to control crowds and prevent fights, as well as violating COVID-19 related capacity restrictions. In August 2021, Hoskins revoked the Tap Room’s liquor license after ruling the bar had stayed open after hours. But in January, the Illinois State Liquor Control Commission reversed the village’s
license revocation, ruling there was no evidence that the bar was selling liquor after hours. In his complaint, Gross described every single incident that led to liquor license suspensions in detail, adding that they’ve been cited 21 times, five of which happened this year. He also alleged that the brothers lied to the village on several occasions. While both brothers indicated in the original liquor license application that they were never “arrested for a crime related to decency and/or morality,” a routine background check revealed that Hansel Law was arrested for domestic battery in 2019. The case against him was dismissed after his wife “did not cooperate” with the legal proceedings. At the time, Law said that he forgot about it because nothing came out it. Gross also wrote that, on March 11, 2021, the brothers met with several village officials, including then-Police Chief Thomas Aftanas, to discuss police calls and possible violations of COVID-19 capacity limits in force at the time. While the brothers in-
dicated that they never had any issues at Berwyn Tap Room, he noted that a subsequent Forest Park Review investigation uncovered numerous police calls and a liquor license suspension to prove otherwise. “The licensees have demonstrated a total disregard for the business community and its neighbors, both businesses and residents alike,” Gross wrote at the conclusion of the complaint. “The licensees are not fit individuals that should be granted the privilege of renewing their Class A-1 license.” The complaint was dated April 27. According to a police report prepared by Gross, one of the owners happened to be in the village hall on April 29 for “reasons unknown,” and the chief used that opportunity to serve it. The Review was unable to reach the owners by deadline.

CHUCK
A community favorite from page 1 Al’s, which her family founded in 1979, replacing a restaurant by the same name. Boonma said Suwannasri is his nephewin-law. While he reminisced, Boonma pulled out his cell phone to show a 2017 episode of “Chicago’s Best.” The TV show, which profiles eateries across the Chicago area, had featured Al’s in their episode highlighting the region’s best Chinese food. Another video — which shows Suwannasri reciting “The Message,” the 1982 rap song by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five — has been making the rounds again on social media. Randall McFarland, the cofounder of the nonprofit and Facebook group Best of Proviso Township, wrote on Facebook that Suwannasri “always respectfully embraced the culture and communities that [Al’s Drive In] served.” The group’s other cofounder, Rajeska Jackson, still recalled what for many Proviso East students was something of a rit-
ual. Jackson wrote on Facebook that she went to Al’s “almost before every game.” Many customers recalled their favorite dishes — from the shrimp fried rice to the super tacos. And who can forget the mild sauce and fries.

vfpress.news But perhaps even more important than the food was Suwannasri’s unique way of greeting customers, many longtime Al’s patrons recalled on Facebook. “Every time I walked in, no matter how long I’ve been away, You always greeted me the same,” wrote Damien T. Harvey on Facebook. “‘Wassup Mr. Harbry… You back in town? Let me get yo shake started my good sir…” Harvey added that a “void has been created because no one… ABSOLUTELY NO ONE… Made a Strawberry Shake for me the way you did.” On Saturday, about 100 people — many of them wearing Al’s serving hats like the ones Chuck donned — gathered in the parking lot of Al’s for an impromptu memorial service for Chuck that was planned by a group of East alum, including McFarland, who graduated in 1986. “One thing I like about Chuck is he remembered my name,” said Chris Brown. “I think he remembered all of you all’s names. For whatever reason it was he had that ability to remember names. He was a community favorite. He was a guy who gave you a laugh and a good time.” “The thing with grief comes hope,” said Suwannasri’s niece, Heidi Ratanavanich, 40. “Seeing this, seeing all of the people Chuck touched reflected here is truly incredible. He’s an institution and touched so many people’s lives in the simple way of just serving food.” Al’s owners planned another memorial service on Tuesday, a day after this publication’s print deadline. Ratanavanich said that funeral services for Suawannasri will be private. CONTACT: info@vfpress.news

WEST 40 A new home from page 1 er things. West 40 provides a range of support services in its role as an intermediary between local school districts and the Illinois State Board of Education. Some of those services include “teacher and administrator professional development, alternative learning centers, school improvement planning support, and assistance with implementing governmental policies and initiatives,” the agency’s LinkedInd description adds. West 40 is currently located at 4413 Roosevelt Rd. in Hillside. They also have a space inside of an old school near Hillside’s municipal complex, Klaisner said, adding that the agency leases both spaces. Klaisner said the purchase of the Lexington school property offered West 40 the opportunity to have a space of its own. “We’ve much rather own something than spend our money on rent, so we had been looking for a building for quite a while,” Klaisner said. “District 89 said they want-

ed to sell this one. They had been using it to store furniture and books and so forth. They were ready to unload it and it’s the kind of space that’s perfect for us.” Klaisner said the agency will offer a variety of services at the Lexington building, including programming for at-risk students and professional learning activities for teachers, among others. The building will also house office space.
Klaisner said the full renovation of the building will take place in two phases, starting with a short-term renovation this summer designed to allow the agency to “partially move in by the fall.” The global supply chain crisis means that both phases of the renovation may take about two years, Klaisner said. “We want to put in energy efficient windows, but the problem is we can’t get those
until next March,” Klaisner said. He said the Lexington space is larger than the two spaces the agency currently leases combined. Once the move into Lexington is complete, Klaisner said, West 40 will have fully relocated from Hillside to Maywood.

Illinois lawmakers respond to leaked abortion opinion Democrats, including Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch, warned of constitutional privacy crisis related to Supreme Court’s intentions to end Roe v. Wade By GRACE KINNICUTT Capitol News Illinois
SPRINGFIELD – Gov. JB Pritzker and Illinois Democrats warned of an “end to the constitutional right to privacy” if a leaked U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning the 1973 landmark decision in Roe v. Wade becomes finalized as precedent. “It means women who lose access to the full suite of medical advances that give them choices in how and when they want
to start a family are at risk,” Pritzker said at a morning news conference in Chicago. At the same time, however, the Democrats touted a recent string of Illinois laws aimed at protecting the access to an abortion for Illinoisans and those visiting the state to receive reproductive health care. The news conference was called in response to a May 2 report from Politico that outlined the leaked draft decision that would strike down Roe v. Wade, a decision which has protected abortion rights as constitutional rights for nearly five decades. Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start” and the issue of regulating abortion must be returned to the states. Pritzker said that if the ruling stands as a reversal of 50 years of settled law, the implications on privacy and health care access could be dire. “It’s not just that they’re taking away reproductive rights,” he said. “It’s that this is a slope that they’re headed down that is going to take away all of the rights that
were granted as a result of the right to privacy. It’s a constitutional right to privacy, determined by the court 50 years ago and reinforced along the way, and now they’re taking it away.” Advocates said overturning Roe would be devastating for millions who will be forced into unwanted pregnancies and that it will lead to illegal alternatives that could put the mother’s life at risk. Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Chicago, said she worries that Black and Latino communities, which are already disproportionately impacted by lack of health care access, will be targeted and criminalized by anti-abortion laws. “I mourn with the young people who may grow up in a country where our laws tell them that they have no autonomy over their bodies,” Ramirez said. Rep. Kelly Cassidy said uprooting the precedent in Roe could affect interpretations of law regarding birth control and marriage equality. “I feel like my life and my family’s life is teetering at the top of a Jenga tower that
we’re watching crash in real time,” Cassidy, D-Chicago, said. “My marriage, my children’s relationship with their other mother, my bodily autonomy, is all in the crosshairs.” While Democrats said overturning Roe would mark a “dark day in our nation’s history,” they also credited their party for creating a “forcefield” to guarantee a women’s right to reproductive health care in Illinois. In 2019, Pritzker signed the Reproductive Health Act enshrining in state law the fundamental right to an abortion. In December 2021, he signed a law ending a requirement that doctors must notify parents of a minor seeking an abortion 48 hours prior to the procedure. House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch, D-Hillside, criticized Republicans for implying that “this wasn’t a serious matter” when they voted against abortion protections previously. On Tuesday, he said, the GOP was “eerily quiet” amid the major news. CONTACT: info@vfpress.news

Local ‘popup queen’ sees value in connecting people
Josephine Wells, owner of Maywood’s The Meeting Place, says secret to her success is building networks By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Josephine Wells, the 28-year-old Bellwood woman who owns The Meeting Place, 1123 Madison St. in Maywood, is constantly juggling multiple roles. She sells accessories, beauty items and clothes. She has a show that airs every Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Hit USA Radio, an internet-based radio station. She styles herself the “popup queen” for the many vendor-based networking events she organizations throughout the city and suburbs. And her Madison Street business is growing into a place for community-building in Maywood. Wells, who goes by JoJo, said all of her endeavors fall under her merchandising and entertainment company, New Jack Swag. But their most important commonality, she said, is people. “My vision for myself is to have a great reputation with the community and my people,” she said. “I am a people person. That’s what I love. That’s what I do.” Wells said she owns and operates her business with her mother, adding that before she was a full-time entrepreneur, she worked in marketing. “When COVID happened, I just decided that I can work for myself,” Wells said. She said her businesses often reinforce each other. On Saturday, May 7, for instance, she’s hosting a popup shop at The
Meeting Place, where she’ll interview vendors for her internet radio show. The shop will run from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wells said entrepreneurialism runs in her blood. Wells said that when she was growing up, her mother operated a daycare in virus locations throughout Maywood. Now, Wells, who herself has two children, is proud to continue the family legacy of doing business in Maywood. “Being in Maywood is a blessing, especially over here,” Wells said. “I call this the mini downtown of Maywood. I’m just blessed to be able to give the community someplace they can have for parties, [Alcoholics Anonymous] meetings, aerobics classes — anything they want. This area is great.” Wells is also looking ahead. She said in addition to hosting more popup shops this summer, she also plans to be part of the annual Bud Billiken Parade in Chicago. Meanwhile, she’s always finding ways to diversify her revenue stream. Wells said recently, she’s taken a larger role within Hit USA Radio’s sales and marketing team. She also plans on selling her merchandise inside of Urban Boutique, the former John’s Beauty Supply at 1300 Madison St. in Maywood. “I also have side hustles,” Wells said. “Never let your side hustles go. Always have multiple incomes. That is the key to financial freedom.” For more information on New Jack Swag or The Meeting Place, visit Wells’ Facebook page here or her Instagram page here.
