On June 21, a passenger in a funeral procession reportedly jumped out of his car, landed on a neighboring vehicle hood and started dancing. On June 3, a Chicago man brought a gun for protection to a funeral party in Forest Home Cemetery. In early May, police ticketed nine cars traveling as part of a funeral procession down Roosevelt Road, with passengers hanging out of windows, vehicles swerved into oncoming lanes and created “general disorder” on the roads.

In Broadview, young women see that they can, too Last week, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson and Broadview Fire Chief Tracy Kenny — both of whom are the first women to hold their respective positions in the village — hosted Camp #WECANTOO, which invited area young women into the village’s municipal headquarters to see how the town is run and to let them know that they can be mayors and chiefs, as well.

“When we talk about We Can Too, this is for you all, to let you all know that you can break down these barriers that the chief and I are starting to break down,” said Thompson. “Women are strong.”

Area dancers take first in competition The Memorial Park District dancers did an amazing job at their first dance competition held the weekend of June 22 in New Lenox, Ill. They competed in the Novice Division in the small group category at Addiction Dance competition. They received a platinum scoring plaque and got second place in their category.

The girls got to perform in a setting different from recital and got to witness many styles and levels of dance at this competition. It was a great experience overall! I am beyond proud of what they have accomplished only practicing once a week since January. Great things are to come!

209 Together scholars share stories of perseverance This year, 209 Together awarded nine new $1K scholarships to D209 students

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

In her junior year at Proviso Math and Science Academy, Michelle Munoz, 18, was dealt a devastating blow — her father died.

And during her junior year in high school, Munoz’s mother was diagnosed with a series of benign tumors.

Despite high school years punctuated by pain and loss, Munoz found a way to graduate from PMSA with a 4.7 GPA. She’s now planning to major in Spanish at Concordia University in River Forest in the fall.

“It was difficult getting through all that,” Munoz said during a recent interview. “But I took it one day at a time. I put my studies first and made sure my health and my family’s health was taken care of.”

Munoz is among nine students (three from each of Proviso District 209’s three schools) who received $1,000 scholarships from 209 Together — a community organization based in Forest Park that is designed to improve the quality of life in Proviso Township and the educational environment at D209 schools. Seven additional students who won the scholarships in previous years were each awarded $500 renewal scholarships.

Since 2016, the organization has awarded nearly 30 scholarships, totaling roughly $30,000. The scholarship awards are given in two categories: overcoming adversity and persistence pays. In the essay she wrote to apply for the scholarship, Munoz explained that how she overcame her own adversity with a strong support system.

“Each situation was different,” Munoz said. “As a freshman, my father died about

ROWDY FUNERALS What next? from page 1 May. But the Cook County Funeral and Cemetery Violence Task Force has ended.

Forest Park Police Chief Thomas Aftanas said the task force essentially ended after its chartering member, County Commissioner Richard Boykin, lost his re-election bid to new Commissioner Brandon Johnson in November 2018.

Boykin partnered with Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart to establish the task force in March of that year, bringing together funeral directors, cemetery owners and law enforcement officials to find solutions to chaotic funeral processions, nicknamed “rowdy funerals,” after constituents in Hillside and the Austin neighborhood of Chicago complained about their prevalence.

two months into the school year and I hadn’t really found my crowd, but I was able to go to the counselors right away and my math teachers contacted my other teachers right away. For that, I’m forever grateful.”

Munoz said when she discovered her mother’s tumors, which are currently still benign, she relied on teachers, counselors and friends.

Getting through high school, however, was a difficult balancing act.

In addition to helping out with her mom, she has held a job at Target since her junior year. She also participated in various extracurricular activities, such as softball and Multicultural Club.

“My participation in the club made me realize that a lot of students are going through the same kinds of things,” she said, adding that her mother’s illness has only enhanced her appreciation for family.

“My mother is my hero and to see her go through any type of pain hurts me,” Munoz said.

“This experience has shown me how much she needs me and how much I need her.”

Moneesha Gay, 18, will be attending Grambling State University in the fall to major in kinesiology. Gay also received a $1,000 scholarship from 209 Together. In her essay, she detailed the challenge of balancing her ambitions running track & field with

“It was tough because I was stressed out about the SAT, but I also had to be the captain of my track team. And I wasn’t running the times I wanted to run.”

Gay said she got through a stressful junior year with the help of her parents.

“It’s a tough situation,” Aftanas added. “We want to be respectful but sometimes we have to take action because someone’s going to get hurt.”

The last time the group met was in November 2018, he said, where they finalized a set of five recommendations to cope with the problem. The Cook County Sheriff’s Office said the task force sent five recommendations to File Boykin, but was unsure if Boykin SO LONG: Law enforcement personnel and funer- ever sent them on to the full board for al home directors during a meeting of the Cook consideration.

This is the fourth year in a row that 209 Together has awarded scholarships to college-bound Proviso students. For the first three years of the scholarship, the Kiwanis Club of Forest Park served as its fiscal agent.

On June 27, 209 Together hosted a fundraiser for the scholarship fund on the rooftop of Urban Pioneer Group, 7503 Madison St. in Forest Park.

difficult to do a traffic stop during a funeral procession, it actually can make things worse at times.”

They also proposed extra security from the sheriff’s department at cemeteries in Hillside, where the majority of rowdy funerals are headed. In Forest Park, Aftanas said, Forest Home Cemetery is the only place where chaotic processions occur. He speculated that it might be because it was a non-denominational space, and that the cost of burial plots could play a role. The number of rowdy funerals that have occurred this year so far is about the same as last year, he noted, but the department doesn’t track the numbers.

“Once we met a couple of times and identified the problems and found possible solutions, I don’t think there was a need to keep it going,” Aftanas said of the task force.

“As long as we have the communication, and are trying get a heads up on it before it actually arrives in town, we can prepare a little for it. That’s the main thing.”

While building, developer unearths Maywood’s past James Apa’s trucking company is going up on St. Charles lot, where American Can Co. plant once stood

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

“You want a laugh?” said James Apa on Friday afternoon. Apa was standing on the massive parcel of land at 1001 S. St. Charles Rd. in Maywood that he bought from the village earlier this year for $250,000.

Apa’s building a 6,500- to 7,500-square foot facility and a paved yard for his new trucking business, Third Coast Teaming Company, on the site.

“We found an old horseshoe from when they used to have horse and carriages,” Apa said, producing the historic item that a construction crew dug up.

“This is probably over 120 years old,” he said of the horseshoe. “I’m going to put it above the door for good luck.”

Lightford appointed to Census Advisory Panel A Maywood lawmaker was recently appointed to a key statewide entity created to ensure that “hard-to-count” communities in Illinois are accurately surveyed in the 2020 U.S. Census.

State Sen. Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford was appointed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker to the newly formed Census Advisory Panel.

The panel is the result of Executive Order 19-10, which the governor signed on June 20.

Along with establishing the advisory panel, the order also establishes a new Census Office within the Illinois Department of Human Services.

The Census Office will administer $29 million earmarked in the state budget to “prepare and execute the census in Illinois,” the governor said.

The advisory panel, which is comprised of 12 members, will be responsible for ensuring that funding opportunity notices and other communications related to the census are widely distributed, particularly in hard-tocount and undercounted areas.

“The commitment to executing the census in Illinois is vital, as it directly correlates with the amount of representation and federal resources our state will receive,” said Lightford, who was also appointed to the Cook County Complete Count Census Commission.

“It is our constitutional duty to ensure that every resident from Cook County to Alexander County is counted,” she said.

The governor’s executive order comes as many hard-to-count communities in the state, including Maywood, have started to explore ways of making sure that their residents are accurately counted in the upcoming census.

thousands of people in its heyday and went down in history–the history of the obscure– as the birthplace in 1935 of the beer can.”

The plant closed in 1975, causing a ripple effect in a town that once boasted a “Sears, a Montgomery Ward and two movie theaters,” in addition to a “Jewel and A&P food stores.”

By one estimate, the plant’s closing cost Maywood around 8,000 jobs.

In the 1990s, the village acquired the St. Charles Road property in a delinquent-tax sale and demolished the historic building in 1997, the Tribune reported.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the village lured Aetna Plywood Inc., a lumber products distributor, and Cintas Corp., which produces uniforms and other specialized products for companies, to the massive empty space left in the wake of the plant’s

demolition.

Apa’s trucking company will occupy the last unused parcel of land on the former American Can Co. site. On Saturday, Apa said, a wrecking crew will knock the old American Can pillars down in order to make way for his trucking operation, which he said will employ between 40 and 45 people.

“I’m putting drivers to work already, because I’m hauling my own stuff in and out of here, for the most part,” he said. “Once I get open, I’ll buy more trucks and hire more guys. I want to hire mechanics, office staff and drivers. In the first 18 months, we’ll have around 30 to 35 truck drivers, six to eight mechanics and four to five office people.”

And he prefers to hire local, he said. Just like American Can. CONTACT: thevillagefreepress@gmail.com

“he was a kid that, he was just always happy.”

According to a WGN report, Tlahuel was a senior at East and had dreams of being a pilot.

The building that will house the company’s offices and service garage is being constructed with pre-cast concrete walls that will be up by Monday, Apa said.

“In two weeks, they’ll put the steel in and we should have it under a roof in about a month-and-a-half,” he said. “I’m hoping to have everything done by Thanksgiving.”

The old horseshoe wasn’t the only relic of the village’s past that construction workers have excavated while building Apa’s trucking company.

While digging, they also discovered old pillars that were once part of the literal foundation of American Can Co., once Maywood’s largest employer.

According to a 2005 Chicago Tribune article, the “American Can Co. plant in Maywood covered 18 acres, employed

Come Jan. 1, 2020, recreational marijuana use and possession will be legal in Illinois, and one Maywood woman wants to make sure that minorities don’t miss out on what’s likely to be a booming industry.

“There are so many opportunities and so many lanes you can create for yourself within this industry,” said Tennille Campbell, days after Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois.

The legislation, which Pritzker signed into law on June 25, would allow residents who are at least 21 to possess up to 30 grams of marijuana; up to 5 grams of cannabis concentrate; and 500 milligrams of THC, which is the main active ingredient in cannabis.

Campbell, 39, said that she senses a huge opportunity for minorities “to get into this industry and create generational wealth,” and to seize on an opportunity to be healthier, which is why she decided to host a series of Cannabis Educational Summits in Maywood in July, August and September.

Campbell, who is working on her master’s degree in clinical mental health, said that the health benefits of cannabis are apparent in people with a range of conditions — from HIV and cancer to autism.

“I want to stop the stigma about cannabis,” she said.

The first summit will be on July 20, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Maywood Public Library, 125 S. 5th Ave. in Maywood.

Presenters include Jondae Scott, the Illinois chapter president of Minorities for Medical Marijuana, and Edie Moore, the executive director of Chicago Norml, a marijuana advocacy organization.

Broadview teen killed in suspected hit-and-run in Chicago A Broadview teenager who attended Proviso East High School was recently killed in an alleged hit-and-run accident that happened on June 25, according to multiple media reports.

Anthony Alexander Tlahuel, 18, of the 2400 block of South 15th Ave. in Broadview, was a pedestrian in “the wide crosswalk between Buckingham Fountain and the Lakefront Trail,” Streets Blog reports.

According to an ABC 7 report, the “incident occurred in the 500-block of South Lake Shore Drive at about 8:47 p.m. Police said a male pedestrian was hit and killed by a car traveling northbound and the car continued driving north.”

ABC 7 reported that Tlahuel was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died. Tlahuel had been in the city to meet with siblings at Buckingham Fountain, relatives said.

Roughly 15 minutes after Tlahuel was rushed to the hospital, Chicago Police discovered a damaged Range Rover on Lower Michigan Avenue, according to ABC 7. So far, police haven’t determined whether or not the vehicle was stolen. No one was in custody as of June 26.

Tlahuel’s uncle, Adiel Daman, told ABC 7 that his nephew “was just amazing” and that

New sidewalk to be installed near PMSA Forest Park officials have added two components to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) First Avenue construction project when it reaches Roosevelt Road later this summer.

The Forest Park Village Council voted 5-0 June 24 to approve an intergovernmental agreement with IDOT for the addition of a sidewalk on the south side of Roosevelt Road from First Avenue to the bus stop and for an upgrade to the emergency vehicle pre-emption (EVP) controls at the intersection.

Village Administrator Tim Gillian explained that the main beneficiaries of the new sidewalk will be students attending nearby Proviso Math and Science Academy, who will no longer have to walk to the bus stop after school on an unpaved area. Under terms of the agreement, the village will be responsible for maintaining the new sidewalk, including removal of snow and ice.

EVP controls allow emergency vehicles to disrupt a normal signal cycle to proceed through the intersection more quickly and under safer conditions. The pre-emption systems can extend the green on an emergency vehicle’s approach or replace the phases and timing for the whole cycle.

Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins said the improvements have “been in the works for a while.”

He said the timing of the work is to be determined, noting the entire project has been delayed by the Chicago area’s rainy spring.

County tax rates released, tax bills due Aug. 1 Amount of property taxes billed across county reaches record high of $15B, clerk says

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas announced on June 19 that property owners in the county can view their property tax bills online more than a week before paper copies are scheduled to be mailed out at the beginning of July. Tax bills are due on Aug. 1.

Property owners can view and download copies of their bills by visiting cookcountytreasurer.com, clicking on “Your Property Tax Overview” and entering their Property Index Number. If they don’t have the number, they can search by entering their property’s address.

On June 20, Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough released the 2018 Cook County tax rates for the county’s more than 1,400 taxing bodies — the final step in the process before tax bills are mailed out, her office

said.

“Calculating and publishing these tax rates is a massive effort towards transparency and fairness in taxation, and I want to commend the staff of the Clerk’s Office and the municipal offices for working together and getting this part of the process done in an extremely efficient manner,” Yarbrough explained in a statement.

The clerk said that property taxes billed for taxing bodies in the county totaled nearly $15 billion this year, which breaks last year’s record high of $14.4 billion.

“As a result, it is expected that individual taxing districts may receive increased property tax revenues due to this 3.7 [percent] increase over last year,” the clerk’s office explained. “Changes to individual tax bills will vary, but in general, single family homes in the northern and central parts of the City of Chicago may see increased tax

The 2018 average composite tax rate for Bellwood was 19.165 — a nearly 8 percent increase over the 2017 average composite tax rate of 17.757. The rates for most individual taxing bodies that are partially or fully in Bellwood increased — with the rate for the village experiencing a 10.9 percent increase, from 7.548 to 8.369.

The 2018 average composite tax rate for Broadview was 13.146 — a 3.5 percent increase over the 2017 average composite tax rate of 12.701. The rates for most individual taxing bodies that are partially or fully in Broadview increased. The village of Broadview experienced less than a 1 percent

increase, from 2.651 to 2.663.

The 2018 average composite tax rate for Maywood was 21.147 — a nearly 8 percent increase over the 2017 average composite tax rate of 20.073. The rates for most individual taxing bodies that are partially or fully in Maywood increased — with the rate for the village experiencing a roughly 6 percent increase, from 11.601 to 12.317.

The 2018 average composite tax rate for Melrose Park was 11.441 — a 4 percent increase over the 2017 average composite tax rate of 11.001. The rates for most individual taxing bodies that are partially or fully in Melrose Park increased — with the rate for the village experiencing a 4 percent increase, from 2.558 to 2.660.

VILLAGE perspectives We have to help our own kids this summer It is summer in Chicago and we know what that means for our young Black people: trouble. Summer in Chicago is often a war zone — shootings, fights, mass group actions at the mall and more trouble.

The news headlines about Black and Brown Chicago youth are almost exclusively negative. Our youth are also the targets of negative stereotypes and racial profiling.

However, I argue that undesirable behavior isn’t because our youth are bad; rather they are bored.

Our community lacks the organized resources and programming to keep our young people energized and out of trouble.

Thus, this is a desperate call to the adults and the Proviso community to create affordable summer programs for all youth.

What currently exists are activities and programs that are unaffordable for most people, in addition to issues related to work hours, transportation and a welcoming environment for young people of color, leaving these young folks to make their own fun, their own trouble. This means, during the summers, we can keep them safe, but how?

As for me and my contribution, I hope to have an Afrocentric Black School summer program this for kids in the neighborhood

and would like help in locating and funding a venue to make this a free for all youth.

It may not be the best program or even the school that I initially envisioned, but it is something that I can do without external funding. And, I’m not special. All adults, all of us, can do something. My charge to every adult, every business, every organization in Chicago is to prioritize our young people this summer. Let’s get as many summer programs and activities available, so there will be no reason for them to get bored and land in trouble.

Are you tired of seeing senseless killings of African American youths because they were involved in the wrong gang and selling illegal drugs? Are you tired of seeing killings and injury of innocent children because they got caught in the cross fire of careless gangs? It seems that we have a crisis of character.

Maywood, it’s time for a change I attended the Maywood Liquor Commission meeting on June 20 in Village Council Chambers. In this meeting the, the commission was voting to approve or not approve a Class M liquor license application for 400 Lake Street and 705 S. 5th Avenue in Maywood.

I was in distinct opposition to the application and presented evidence to show why.

Felt that went well. Held my cool.

Then I found out what our problem really is. Our mayor does not believe in us. Without provocation, she cited that the reason we don’t have a grocery store is that we did not shop at the independently owned grocery store that was once here. Yes, that one — funded by a cabal of incompetence (the real reason it failed).

The mayor’s irrelevant comment translates into the following assumptions: that we are incapable of supporting the businesses we want in this town; that we are somehow deficient and don’t deserve such things; that we should instead be happy that the purveyors of vice and social ills are here to rescue and fund our town.

Maywood languishes under the dim expectation of its people by its leader. It is time for us to watch closely as she moves more gambling and liquor into our town even though we voted to ask her not to.

Beware Maywood, our leader is working against your hopes. Edwenna, your comments and sentiments at the meeting were very clear.

two consecutive years for very personal reasons. Her paternal grandmother died from the disease. In addition, Moreland had a scare in her early 40s, when the doctors found what turned out to be a benign mass.

“I wanted to raise awareness for women, especially in the minority community, because African American women have the highest mortality rate of breast cancer,” she said. “This is something that I wanted to support [in order to] raise awareness.”

Moreland said that around 220 people attended the first walk/run last summer.

The clerk said that she pays for the event through private donations and corporate sponsorships. This year, she was able to raise around $10,000.

Bellwood trustee Jophelia Boston is one of the many breast cancer survivors who took part in the walk. She said that her cancer was caught during the earliest stage possible and that she’s been in remission for the past 11 years. She said that, when Moreland told her she was organizing the walk a year ago, she was eager to help.

The awareness, she said, is important.

Looking back, Boston wished she had taken interest in her family’s history with breast cancer before she was diagnosed. That is why, she said, she insisted on making sure her nieces know that history.

West High School, said that she walked for her sister, who is a breast cancer survivor, and because she generally wanted to support the village of Bellwood.

Maywood Trustee Isiah Brandon said that he has family members who have been diagnosed with various cancers. He said that he wanted to take part in the walk to support Moreland and to bring awareness to the worthwhile cause.

“We need to bring awareness, we need to bring together resources to find the solution for this disease,” Brandon said.

“I really believe that early detection is important,” said state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th). “For women, its breast cancer; for men, it’s prostate cancer.”

Lindsay Chase, of Bellwood, said that she lost her mother to breast cancer.

“I’m hoping for a cure, for breast cancer and fall cancers,” she said. “That’s my wish.”

Linda Reed, an Oak Park resident whose mother lives in Bellwood, was also diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s been in remission for 19 years and taking part in the walk was an easy decision for her to make.

“I just feel that supporting these causes is so, so important, so that people are aware and that they get treatment, instead of sitting around waiting to get it,” she said.
