“There’s power in love,” was the refrain during Bishop Michael Curry’s address during the wedding ceremony of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, held Saturday morning.

Curry — the first African American presiding bishop

of the Episcopal Church (an affiliate of the Church of England) — brought his roots with him to England. Curry was baptized at St. Simon of Cyrene Church in Maywood, where his father, Kenneth Stewart Lee Curry, was priest of St. Simon before moving out of state.

Marilynn Jefferson, a Maywood native, said that her grandmother, Mable Simpson, was a member at St. Simon

Proviso seniors graduate On Sunday, May 20, seniors in Proviso Township High Schools District 209 walked across the stage at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago for commencement. The pastor of Rock of Ages Baptist Church in Maywood, Rev. Marvin E. Wiley, gave the commencement address.

Earlier this month, Proviso East Pirate and Maywood native Jevon Carter graduated from West Virginia University — on May 12, Mother’s Day. He entered WVU a highly touted, if somewhat underappreciated, high school basketball recruit and left a legend.

He’s widely considered to be the best defensive player in WVU’s history, with accolades galore: two-time NABC Defensive Player of the Year, Naismith Defensive Player of the Year, two-time Lefty Driesell Award, Senior CLASS Award, Academic All-American of the Year, two-time Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, four-time Big 12 All-Defensive team member, and more.

But the accolade that Carter’s mom, Cynthia Johnson, may most appreciate is that of college graduate. What better Mother’s Day gift can she get than that?

An article published on wvnews.com encapsulates Carter’s relationship with his mother.

Two years ago, “when Carter received some criticism for his play in the late seconds of the NCAA loss to Gonzaga, his mother took to social media to give everyone a glimpse inside the man she calls Von.” “‘LISTEN UP MOUNTAINEERS! So that you all have a clear understanding as to why I would cuss you from your birth to your death for ever criticizing Jevon for a bad play, a bad shot or a whole bad game, it’s not because he’s my son and it’s not because I think he’s perfect ... it’s because I don’t know of any other Mountaineer basketball player that works as consistently hard as he does NO MATTER WHAT!’” Carter’s hard work seemed to pay off at the NBA Draft Combine, held in Chicago over the weekend. Carter, who Sports Illustrated’s latest mock draft has projected as the No. 23 pick, had 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal during Friday’s scrimmage.

ESPN analyst Mike Scmitz said that Carter’s “combination of physicality, lightningquick hands, anticipation and intensity is unlike anything we’ve seen in recent memory, and he’s far and away the best point guard defender in the draft.”

Mothers, after all, know best.

D209 teachers speak out against dress code Teachers union says it wasn’t consulted about policy change

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Teachers at Proviso Township High Schools District 209 are pushing back against the school board’s move to get rid of the district’s uniform policy, arguing that the decision will contribute to an atmosphere of insubordination and disorder at the schools.

The teachers said that their point was proven by a massive water balloon fight at Proviso West High School earlier this month.

Starting next school year, students will be allowed to wear regular clothing as long as it doesn’t “disrupt the educational process, interfere with the maintenance of a positive teaching/learning climate, or compromise reasonable standards of health, safety, and decency.”

The new dress code policy — which was approved unanimously by the board in April but still needs to be finalized and added to the 2018-19 student handbook— is largely the work of members of the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Board and a group of students who are part of an English class at Proviso East.

The students argued that since its implementation in 2014, the uniform policy has been unfairly and unevenly enforced, and has helped to perpetuate “racism, classism and sexism” in the district.

Most board members applauded what member Rodney Alexander, a proponent of uniforms, called the students’ “adult-like, board-like work.”

“You have to yield to their expressions

and their education process and their ability to communicate and put this argument together,” Alexander said. “They’ve pretty much won the argument.”

But at a regular meeting on May 8, members of the Proviso Teachers Union didn’t feel the debate was settled. Although most of the teachers who spoke lauded the students’ effort to overturn the uniform policy, they countered with arguments of their own about the policy’s effectiveness.

“The uniforms do not promote racism, sexism and classism,” said Scott Hendrickson, a union member and social studies teacher at Proviso West. “They promote the very opposite. … I’ve worn uniforms with people from all races, ages, socioeconomic backgrounds and sexes.

Uniforms minimize differences and promote teamwork.”

Hendrickson said the union was not consulted about the policy change and the teachers’ view about the proposed change was not adequately considered.

“The union is especially concerned that there will be no enforcement of the new dress code and we’ll return to what we had in the past — students wearing belly shirts, spaghetti straps, short shorts,” he said.

The new dress code, which would debut next school year, like the current policy, prohibits most of the items Hendrickson stated, but both teachers and students who spoke during public meetings over the last two months complained about enforcement.

Maggie Riley, the teachers union president, said the union “believes that altering the

uniform policy is still a mistake,” and “one teacher and a handful of students do not speak for the majority of our members.”

Riley added that “this entire year, the dress code has not been enforced,” and argued that the lack of uniform policy enforcement, in addition to the overall lax disciplinary culture throughout the Screenshot district, may have been a contributing OPPOSED: Maggie Riley, the president of the teachers union, speaks factor in a water during a May 8 regular board meeting. balloon fight that D209 school, said during the May 8 meeting took place at West on May 2.

BISHOP CURRY ‘Power in love’ from page 1 ‘Father Curry’ became the rector at St. Simons.

“Father Curry was single at the time and during his tenure there he married his wife (she was not from Maywood) and they produced a son — Bishop Michael Curry.

Soon after, father was transferred to another church. As soon as I saw Michael on TV this morning, I remembered his father.”

According to his autobiography, Curry, 65, is a descendant of slaves and sharecroppers in North Carolina and Alabama.

The bishop’s sermon on Saturday — laced with references to Martin Luther King and even slavery, and delivered in the syncopated, rhythmic style of the African American church — was described by the New York Times as the royal wedding’s “surprise biggest star.”

Curry “delivered a searing, soaring 13-minute speech, imploring Christians to put love at the center of their spiritual and

“Until that moment, the ceremony had been quite staid, stuffy even, with only the mention of ‘sexual union’ to keep us on our toes.”

“The late Dr. Martin Luther King once said, and I quote: we must discover the

power of love, the redemptive power of love, and when we do that we will make of this old world a new world. For love is the only way,” Curry said, before later speaking on slavery.

“I’m talking about some power, real power. Power to change the world. If you

don’t believe me, well, there were some old slaves in America’s antebellum south who explained the dynamic power of love and why it has the power to transform. They explained it this way. They sang a spiritual, even in the midst of their captivity, it’s one that says there’s a balm in Gilead. A healing balm, something that can makes things right.”

An NBC news report noted that Curry’s address, delivered “to an audience that represents the heart of the British establishment,” left some of “those gathered apparently amused, surprised or delighted.”

And Teen Vogue compiled some of the best Twitter reactions to Curry’s address.

But tweets below a CNN tweet of the address indicated that not everyone was a fan of the address, with at least one person noting that it “was completely out of place.”

The criticisms, however, don’t seem to have overshadowed the praise for Curry’s lyrical address, with one Twitter user summing up many people’s opinions about the sermon.

“This wedding needed Bishop Michael Curry’s energy and we should all be grateful to Meghan for that,” wrote Michelle Collins.

Proviso Township loses two pillars Rev. Wallace Sykes, Northica Stone have intersecting legacies

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The year was 1968.

George E. Stone, a union organizer at Alcoa, had witnessed upheaval — the droves of blacks who were pouring into Maywood from neighboring suburbs such as Oak Park and the push-back from the village’s white leaders — and was determined to use the national malaise as an opportunity.

Stone met a man who was a manager at Illinois Bell and together they conceived of the idea to start an organization that would help propel blacks into careers previously denied them.

Stone and others met in the home of the Rev. Wallace Wyatt Sykes, pastor of the prominent Second Baptist Church in Maywood. The initial meeting resulted in the formation of Operation Uplift, a nonprofit organization that would grow to offer job training, job counseling, pre-employment skills and GED assistance, among other services, to blacks seeking entry into the country’s burgeoning information economy.

Uplift would eventually supply welltrained minority employees for, and implement some of the first affirmative action programs in the area at, companies such as Illinois Bell (now At&T), Jewel’s and Nicor.

When Stone died in 1988, the burden of maintaining Uplift fell on the supple shoulders of his wife, Willie Northica Hillery-Stone, who took the weight and ran with it. Hillery-Stone and Uplift’s board of directors realized that a museum would be a way to sustain George’s spirit and to perpetuate the organization he founded.

“We saw that Maywood was underserved and the history that Maywood had was being lost,” Hillery-Stone, a longtime member of Sykes’ church, said in an interview with Village Free Press in 2013.

The West Town opened in 1995 as a division of Operation Uplift and was soon inundated with the attic and basement things of residents from all over Proviso Township who wanted to preserve something of their past.

“Once we put the word out, they started sending us items and they were glad we were doing this,” said Jeri Stenson, the museum’s longtime curator, five years ago.

This week, the twin tasks of preserving local history in Proviso Township, and making it anew, got more daunting with the deaths Sykes and Hillery-Stone within days of each other.

Stone, who lived in Bellwood, died on May 16 after a lengthy illness, said her son, George Stone III. She was 85. Three days later, on May 19, Sykes, 94, died in an area nursing home. Multiple relatives and congregants took to Facebook to express their grief, including Sykes’ nephew, Vincent Poole, who called the Maywood pastor his hero.

At Second Baptist Church, where Sykes

pastored for nearly 60 years, members celebrated Women’s Day through tears.

Deacon Casso Reed, the chairman of the church’s board of trustees, got choked up while making the announcement of Sykes’ death.

“Rev. Wallace Sykes has planted himself in each and every one of us,” Reed said. “And it’s been in such a personal way that only each and every one of us can tell it.”

A hand-up, not out According to a church biography, HilleryStone, a Maywood native, had lived in Bellwood for the last 47 years. She graduated from what was then called Washington Elementary School and Proviso East High School, both in Maywood, before going on to DePaul University in Chicago and Fisk University in Tennessee.

By the time she and her husband endeavored to establish Operation Uplift in Sykes’ home, Hillery-Stone had decades of activism and local organizing under her belt.

Although the first blacks that stepped foot on Maywood soil arrived by way of the Underground Railroad, they didn’t end up settling here. In fact, the history of Maywood’s early black residents is much more congruent with free labor than slavery.

Many of these early residents of color were employed as skilled tradesmen and service workers who established a relatively strong tradition of independent enterprise that coursed down to Stenson’s and Stone’s generation.

The compact living and interdependence forced on these early blacks through prejudicial housing policies and tactics bred in them a strong sense of place.

“When we were growing up,” HilleryStone said in 2013, “our families were close, we created things for our kids to do…we created our own opportunities, our own mom and pops.”

Since its opening in 1995, the West Town Museum of Cultural History has operated as a small, mom-and-pop enterprise, but despite its small budget, the institution has often punched above its weight in terms of stature and influence.

One of the museum’s more absorbing features is a model replica of Ten Mile Freedom House, designed by former Maywood trustee and architect Michael Rogers. The house served as a stop on the Underground Railroad, which led blacks from the south northward to Canada.

Hillery-Stone and Stenson were critical to unearthing the site’s rich historical significance. If the village had not torn the home down in 1927, Hillery-Stone said, it could’ve been a national historic monument and perhaps a tourist draw for a town desperately in need of both positive attention and revenue.

Instead, a next-best scenario sits just off the parking lot of the McDonald’s on 1st Avenue and Lake Street in Maywood, at the edge of the Des Plaines River. When the fast food company discovered the historical significance of the site, they commissioned Rogers, an in-house architect with the company, to design a memorial to the site’s past Dozens of community members and local leaders attended the memorial’s dedication in 2000, including Rev. Sykes — who was present at Uplift’s creation.

Prepped to pastor Born Dec. 21, 1923 in Starkville, Miss., Sykes moved to Maywood in 1943 and joined Second Baptist Church shortly afterward.

The breadth of his pre-pastoral activity in the church was wide, deep and tailormade for a would-be pastor: deacon, church trustee, superintendent of the Sunday School department, choir member and the church’s financial secretary for 12 years, among many other roles.

In 1957, Sykes entered the ministry, studying at the Chicago Baptist Institute.

He was ordained in 1961 and would become pastor a year later. For the rest of his long pastorship, Sykes would preach to his congregants the values of both formal education and self-study alike.

Sykes had the mind and curiosity of an autodidact and stretched it at a range of institutions, including Crane Junior College in Chicago, the Chicago Teachers College, the Chicago Baptist Institute and Elmhurst College. He did postgraduate studies at Northeastern Illinois University and the Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lombard.

In 1965, he was given an honorary doctorate from the board of trustees of the Easonian Baptist Theological Seminary in Birmingham, Ala. Under his leadership, Sykes’ church, one of Maywood’s oldest, grew into the town’s most prominent — boasting enough educators (from preschool teachers to college professors) to fill classrooms.

Sykes’ emphasis on education flowed from his sermons to his church’s organizational activity. Sundays featured regular offerings for the Hayden Memorial Educational Fund, which provided college scholarships to young congregants, and Pam’s Pennies, a fundraiser designed to complement the scholarship fund. Hillery-Stone once served as president of the memorial fund’s scholarship committee.

The church also established the Maple Tree Child Learning Center, a daycare and nursery housed in a building next to the church’s current sanctuary.

Sykes also counted among his congregants

WALLACE SYKES

NORTHICA STONE Hillery-Stone was baptized at Second Baptist Church when she was 7 years old by the church’s former pastor and Sykes’ immediate predecessor, Rev. Robert Hayden.

When she was just 15 years old, she became director of the church’s adult Gospel chorus.

As a longtime community activist, HilleryStone was a charter member of Maywood’s first NAACP Youth Council, a role she leveraged to travel to Washington, D.C. in order pressure Sen. Everett Dirksen to support affirmative action laws.

Uplift’s motto, “A hand up and not a hand out,” reflected the spirit of industriousness characteristic of Maywood’s black population.

NEWS briefs North Riverside Carson’s closing to result in at least 159 lost jobs According to media reports, roughly 3,514 workers will lose their jobs when 35 Bon-Ton Stores-owned properties, most notably Carson’s department store, and two distribution centers are liquidated due to bankruptcy.

According to the state’s WARN activity report for April, put out by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, at least 159 of those more than 3,500 lost jobs will be due to the closing of the Carson’s department store in the North Riverside Park Mall.

An additional 330 jobs were lost this past winter after Bon-Ton Stores shut down seven locations not long before declaring bankruptcy.

Broadview man dies in May 14 crash on I-55 A Broadview man was fatally injured in a multi-vehicle collision on May 14, according to a report by WSPY News.

The news report states that Stephen Fulse, 61, was driving in a southbound lane of I-55 on Monday at around 4 p.m., in Grundy County, when the accident happened.

Fulse “failed to yield to traffic slowing down in the northbound lanes from the southbound as he struck a Dodge driven by Danielle Lucas, 44, of Downers Grove, which then caused her vehicle to strike a Honda driven by Linda Miller, 56, of Naperville causing a chain reaction,” WSPY reports, citing the Illinois State Police.

So far, Fulse is the only fatality of the crash, authorities said. Eleven other people were injured.

According to the Grundy County Coroner, which identified Fulse as the victim, said that the Broadview man was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:05 p.m. and Broadview police helped with the death notification.

Maywood man arrested after threatening Maywood elementary school A Maywood man was arrested on May 14 after he confronted a principal and threatened those in attendance at a local grade school, according to Maywood police.

The incident happened on Monday, when Willie Little went to Lincoln Elementary School, 811 Chicago Ave. in Maywood, “walked into the principal’s office and confronted the principal,” police noted in a statement released on May 16.

Little allegedly “began threatening bodily harm and yelling profanities, saying he was coming back the next day to hurt everyone at the school, as well as the [principal],” police reported.

Lincoln was arrested that day and charged with one count of misdemeanor criminal trespass to real property, one count of misdemeanor aggravated assault and one

count of felony disorder.

He appeared in court on May 16 and was issued a $10,000 detainer bond, police say.

District 89 officials could not be immediately contacted to comment on the incident.

Maywood man sentenced to 6-plus years in prison for ID theft, tax fraud A Maywood man was sentenced on May 10 to federal prison for identity theft and tax fraud, according to a statement released by the Internal Revenue Service’s criminal investigation office.

Taj Chapmon, 41, was sentenced to 74 months in federal prison, with two years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $264,973 in restitution. Chapmon had pleaded guilty last year to four counts of wire fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft.

According to the IRS statement, court documents show that “between at least January 2012 through February 2013, Chapmon filed at least 239 false and fictitious tax returns for tax years 2011 and 2012.”

The tax returns included false statements about Chapmon’s income, tax withholding and employment, with the defendant having sought tax refunds totaling approximately $755,691.

“In some instances Chapmon instructed that the tax refunds be placed in bank accounts belonging to Chapmon’s parents and straw account holders,” the IRS statement noted. “The IRS paid out approximately $456,634 of those refunds.”

The IRS added that Chapmon filed at least 88 tax returns using the names and social security numbers of people who were not aware that their personal information was being used to file tax returns in their names.

At the sentence, Chapmon’s lawyer said acknowledged that her client “purchased the identities used to file the tax returns on the dark web,” which is an aspect of the internet that is not encrypted.

Gabriel L. Grchan, the special agentin-charge of the IRS’s Chicago criminal investigation division, announced the sentence, which was imposed by U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey. The case was prosecuted in the Northern District of Illinois.

Living Fresh Market officially opens for business The Roosevelt Rd. grocery store replaces Ultra Food in Forest Park

By NONA TEPPER Forest Park Review

About 75 people crowded the entrance of the new Living Fresh Market, 7520 Roosevelt Rd., on May 16, sampling products and listening to the origin story of the new grocer.

“Our work just started, we have a long way to go, and I’m thinking this is where our challenge is, trying to get one customer in the store and build one at a time,” said Dan Casaccio, co-owner of the store, with his brother Ken Casaccio.

The two are third-generation grocers who also own Leamington Foods, a chain of three grocery stores in Hillside and Chicago started by their father, Gus Casaccio, in 1923.

“I didn’t think I’d ever be in this situation after over 65 years in the business,” Gus Casaccio said with a smile, adding that he felt proud of his boys.

Living Fresh represents a departure for the Leamington chain, since the Forest Park store is managed by GCC LLC, an entity separate from the old grocery stores, which are managed under Leamington Foods Inc. The family celebrated the new store’s official opening with white sheet cake and free samples of bacon, sausage, pizza puffs and more. Dan Casaccio said that every customer is entitled to a free cup of coffee during Living Fresh’s first two weeks in business.

“I used to shop at Ultra Foods all the time and I’ve been waiting for them to do a grand opening,” said Lakisha Lofton, a customer

who traveled from Chicago to shop at the new store on May 16.

Lofton said she thinks Living Fresh offers reasonable prices and better selection of fruit than the old Ultra, which closed at that location in June 2017 after parent company Strack & Van Til went bankrupt. She bought water and green apples at the new Living Fresh, and said its opening will help her cut her reliance on fast food.

“Today we’re launching a new beginning,” said Forest Park Mayor Anthony Calderone.

Calderone said the Casaccios called him in April 2017 about opening a new store.

The village, Living Word Christian Center (which owns the shopping center) and the bank helped the family buy the old Ultra equipment before items were placed for auction in bankruptcy court.

In March, the Forest Park Village Council voted to give Living Fresh up to $450,000 (based on sales revenue over a seven-year period) as an incentive to build in Forest Park Plaza. The money will come from the Roosevelt Corridor Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District, which stretches from Harlem Avenue to Desplaines Avenue.

The mayor cut the ribbon to the new store on May 16 with Rev. Bill Winston, pastor of Living Word Christian Center, which owns Forest Park Plaza LLC. Living Fresh has entered a lease that stretches about 40 years with Forest Park Plaza.

“This will be the first store of Living Fresh Market all over Chicagoland,” Winston said.

“It’s been a partnership all three ways.

Everybody gave something, and that’s the way it should be,” he added, blessing the

Melody Winston, director of commercial assets at Living Word and daughter of Bill Winston, said getting a newly launched grocery brand is “unheard of ” and noted that most villages are not getting new stores at this time.

“We knew what you needed and as a

landlord, we like to give something to the community of substance,” Melody Winston said. “In naming this grocery store Living Fresh Market, they intentionally wanted it to live and go on for generations and generations and generations, as they have in the past.”

James Harlan, special needs advocate, dies at 71 Harlan helped build autism awareness nonprofit with wife, Debra Vines

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

James Harlan, the president and founder of the Just for Men group, an affiliate of the Answer Inc., a prominent autism awareness nonprofit founded by his wife, Debra Vines, has died. In a Facebook post uploaded Monday, Vines said that her husband died on May 13. He was 71.

“It saddens me to say I lost the love of my life last night to Non Hodgkins Lymphoma Cancer,” Vines wrote. “He battled with dignity for 3 years. He will be missed by many.”

Vines and Harlan, both Maywood residents, were pushed into advocacy after their son, Jason, was born with autism.

That’s when they discovered that the amount of resources available to minority families caring for disabled children are

The struggle led Vines to found The Answer Inc. roughly a decade ago. The organization has since offered families in Proviso Township a range of critical resources, such as regular mentoring and tutoring, bullying prevention and wellness programs.

The nonprofit has also pushed for the passage of legislation designed to make life easier for families caring for disabled children Submitted and young adults.

“Watching Jason has made me appreciate the little things in life that I used to take for granted,” said Harlan, who over the years had become his son’s main caretaker as Vines built their nonprofit.

“I would rather be here with him knowing that he’s happy, he’s cared for and he’s safe,” Harlan noted in 2015. “I like being with him, he’s a good guy.”

Harlan’s funeral service took place on May 19.

TWO PILLARS LOST Local icons from page 4 a retinue of local notables, many of whom, like Hillery-Stone, would serve prominent roles in the church.

Joe Freelon, Maywood’s first African American mayor who died in 2016, was the longtime chairman of the church’s deacon board. The village’s second black mayor, Don Williams, is still a minister there.

The village’s first black clerk, Venida Perkins, was on the mother’s board at the time of her death more than a decade ago.

Some of the first blacks to move into the top brass within the police and fire departments were also members.

The church was home to the black families who comprised what many longtime residents often refer to as ‘old Maywood’ — families whose roots extend back multiple generations.

An exemplary congregant was Quinella W. Hathaway, who lived past 100. According a brief online history released by the University of Kentucky, Hathaway was born in Kentucky before her family moved first to Indiana and then to Maywood, where they settled in 1907.

Hathaway was “the only African American student in both her elementary and high school graduating classes; the

Watson Family was among the first African American families to live in Maywood.

Hathaway was also one of the first African American students at the Art Institute of Chicago.

“Her husband, Walter Hathaway, was the first trustee in Maywood. Quinella W. Hathaway was the grandmother of Glenn ‘Doc’ Rivers, former NBA basketball player and coach of the 2008 NBA champions, the Boston Celtics.”

Sykes’ influence was felt beyond the walls of his church and acknowledged on several major occasions, including several decades ago, when the village named a portion of Washington Boulevard in his honor and in 2007, when Congressman Danny K. Davis (7th) helped get the Maywood Post Office named in his honor.

In 2014, state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch filed a resolution in the Illinois House of Representatives in Sykes’ honor to commemorate his 52nd pastoral anniversary.

In recent years, Sykes had stepped away from daily pastoral duties and in 2017, after serving in the role for nearly 60 years, formally resigned from his position as pastor. So far, funeral arrangements are still pending.
