By TOM HOLMES Forest Park Review

Proviso Township High School District 209 officials are grappling with the implications of a state law that requires African American History to be taught in public elementary and high schools.

Last year, the Illinois legislature voted HB 4346 into law. Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford (4th) was among the bill’s senate sponsors.

The law requires that “the events of Black History be taught in every public elementary school and high school, provides that a student may not complete the 8th grade or graduate from high school without studying this material and that a See BLACK HISTORY on page 6

Blood plasma donation center looking to set up in old Aldi store Developer wants property tax break, says it’s key to redevelopment

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A developer seeking to convert the old Aldi grocery store at 215 Madison St. in Maywood into a blood plasma donation

center was scheduled to appear before the Board of Trustees on Aug. 20 seeking a property tax break.

James Troutman, of Troutman & Dams LLC, recently filed for a Class 7A Cook

County property tax incentive, which would assess the property for 12 years at rates lower than the standard 25 percent rate that commercial properties are See PLASMA CENTER on page 3

After Father’s Day crash, family files lawsuit Ruth Johnson’s sister sues driver of car Johnson was killed in during June 16 crash

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The family of Ruth Johnson, who was fatally injured in a car crash on Father’s Day, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the man who was driving the vehicle Johnson was a passenger in at the time of her death.

The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County on June 27 by the Law Offices of Peter M. Delongis, Ltd., which is based in Oak Brook Terrace. Paula Ali, Johnson’s sister and the administrator of her estate, is named as the plaintiff. Edward N. Owens, the man who was driving the car Johnson was a passenger in, is listed as the defendant. The lawsuit also lists the village of Maywood as an additional defendant for discovery purposes.

According to the lawsuit, Johnson was the passenger in a vehicle owned and operated

by Owens on June 16, when the crash

Healthy development? from page 1 typically assessed. The property would be assessed at 10 percent of market value for 10 years, and 15 percent and 20 percent in the last two years of the deal, respectively.

The Cook County Class 7A is offered to businesses seeking to locate in areas that have historically suffered from high unemployment rates, a chronic lack of viable commercial development and low median family income levels, among other factors.

According to the tax incentive application, James Troutman is a principal of Troutman & Dams LLC along with Eric Dams — both of Chicago. Troutman & Dams is the sole principal of TD Maywood LLC, the entity that purchased the building from Aldi in June. Up until the purchase, the former Aldi store had been vacant since the company closed the location — at the time Maywood’s only full-service grocery store — in December 2016.

TD Maywood LLC will lease the entire property to Biomat USA, Inc. — the Los Angeles-based company that will manage the blood plasma donation center. Biomat USA is a subsidiary of Grifols Plasma, which is based in Spain and is the world’s largest operator of plasma donor centers.

According to the application, construction on the renovation of the nearly 16,000-squarefoot former Aldi store started in July and is expected to be finished in October. The total cost of the redevelopment is projected to cost $1.8 million.

happened. The car was traveling northbound on First Avenue and turning onto Randolph Street, when it collided with another vehicle traveling south on First Avenue near the intersection with Randolph.

The lawsuit claims that Owens “carelessly and negligently” failed to properly signal; failed to “stop the automobile in time to avoid coming into contact with the aforesaid oncoming vehicle”; turned left in front of the oncoming vehicle without properly yielding to it; failed to “keep a safe and proper lookout”; and failed to reduce his speed to avoid hitting the other car, among other claims.

Johnson, 40, sustained significant injuries and was rushed to Loyola University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 11:52 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. Owens was also injured and in critical condition at the time of the crash, but survived.

After the crash, Maywood Police detained

“The property is currently being taxed at a vacancy rate with tax bills totaling approximately $114,751,” Troutman’s application explains. “A Real Estate analysis based on records from the Cook County Assessor’s office indicates a decline of 21.4% over the last six years […] The reoccupation and redevelopment of the property will assist in stopping the decline in assessment and the Village should see an increase in 2020’s assessment with the new investment captured.”

On his application, Troutman said that the rehabilitation will create between 50 and 60 construction jobs and that the plasma donation center, once its running, will create 40 “new permanent full-time” jobs.

Plasma is the clear, yellowish, liquid part of blood that holds proteins and antibodies used to treat a range of rare, chronic and life-threatening conditions, such as hemophilia. In the United States, people can donate plasma up to twice a week. Troutman’s application explains that Biomat compensates donors by a Visa gift card, “which could result in up to $400 per month in donor income.”

Proponents of blood plasma donation centers say that they provide people in need of immediate cash with critical financial support while supplying a life-saving resource that’s in high demand.

Critics of the industry, however, say that blood donation companies have made the desperation of poor people into a $20 billion industry. According to a February report in the New York Times, the companies “locate their collection centers disproportionately in destitute neighborhoods, according to Heather Olsen, who, as a graduate student researcher at Case Western Reserve University, examined 40 years of data

two juveniles. Police said they were driving a stolen vehicle out of Naperville, when the car was spotted by a Maywood officer, who noticed they had committed a traffic violation. After the officer activated the squad car lights, “the kids took off,” Maywood Police Chief Valdimir Talley said at the time.

“Officers did not pursue them,” the chief said at the time, when asked if the police were in pursuit of the juveniles. “It wasn’t a chase, but we’re still going to do an investigation.”

Talley said in June that the Cook County Sheriff’s Department was conducting an investigation into Johnson’s death while the Illinois State Police were doing accident reconstruction work.

“We’re going to be looking at the in-car camera video and other records to make sure officers did everything within our policy and procedures,” Talley said at the time.

During an interview on Aug. 16, however,

the chief said that the sheriff’s department and state police were not investigating the crash. Talley said that the department plans to recommend that the Maywood Board of Trustees authorize the hiring of a private investigative firm to investigate the crash.

“It’s my understanding that the state police does officer-involved shootings,” Talley said. “This wasn’t that.”

Talley said that he imagines that both the sheriff’s department and the state police “didn’t have the staffing or resources” to investigate the June 16 crash.

Talley said that any charges that may be brought against the two juveniles are pending while the crash is still under investigation.

A pre-trial hearing for the wrongful death lawsuit is scheduled to take place on Aug. 27 at the Maywood Court House. Attorneys representing Ali declined to comment on Friday.

NEW BLOOD: The site of the former Aldi store, 215 Madison St. in Maywood. A developer is seeking tax breaks to turn it into a blood plasma donation center. on collection centers across the country.

‘They’re surgically placing these,’ she said.

“Healthy people can donate plasma twice a week, up to 104 times a year. The plasma industry says that most people do not donate so frequently and that there are minimal health risks involved, but other researchers disagree. One 2010 study found that paid donors who sell their plasma frequently have fewer proteins in their blood, which some experts say could put them at risk for infections and liver and kidney disorders.

In the short term, plassers have reported fatigue, tingling sensations, anemia and blacking out.”

News that a blood plasma center was moving into the site of what used to be the only full-service grocery store in Maywood ignited an intense response on Facebook, with most commentators bristling at the irony.

“No stores to nourish the body, but a

center to take from it!” one community member commented on Facebook. “Very disappointing.”

As part of the process for applying for a Class 7A tax break with Cook County, companies must submit their applications for review to municipal boards. Troutman & Dams explained in their application that the tax break “is key to the redevelopment of the” former Aldi.

Village officials said that Troutman & Dams presented their proposal to bring a blood plasma donation center to Maywood to the village board in closed session earlier this year. Most board members were against the proposal, they said.

The developers were scheduled to pitch to the Maywood Board of Trustees during a regular meeting on Aug. 20, 7 p.m. He declined to comment when reached by phone on Aug. 18.

Boykin announces bid to replace Dorothy Brown Circuit court clerk decides against reelection, opening path to field of challengers

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Former 1st District Cook County Commissioner has gone from mulling a run against Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx earlier this month to announcing on Thursday his plan to succeed Dorothy Brown as Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County.

Brown announced on Wednesday that she would not seek reelection as circuit court clerk, a position that she’s held since 2000. During much of that time, her office has been embroiled in controversies and multiple investigations by county, state and federal authorities.

Despite the raft of allegations, including claims that her office routinely exchanged jobs for money and other favors, Brown has

consistently denied wrongdoing.

On Wednesday, Brown told the Chicago Tribune that she “had no doubts I would be able to win reelection, without a shadow of a doubt,” adding that it’s “good to be able to leave on your own terms. I feel really good about it.”

Boykin served a term as commissioner from 2014 to 2018. Last year, he narrowly lost his bid for reelection to current 1st District Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson.

On Aug. 2, the former commissioner and practicing attorney who was once Congressman Danny K. Davis’s chief of staff, said that he was mulling a run to replace Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx.

“Public corruption is rampant throughout Cook County and the state’s attorney has been absent when it comes to going after

it,” Boykin said at the time. He said that he would announce his decision in September.

But on Aug. 15, Boykin pivoted dramatically, announcing his decision to run for circuit court clerk instead — a day after Brown announced that she would be stepping down.

“So many of the urgent issues we face in Chicago and Cook County have a single common denominator – access to justice,” Boykin said in a statement. “And when it comes to ensuring equal access to justice, there are few offices with more of a direct impact than the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County.”

In the statement, Boykin touted his experience as a member of the Grants Review Committee for the Justice Advisory Council of Cook County, “where we invested in programs and organizations providing

access to justice in communities where that access is most urgently needed.”

Boykin joins a crowded field of candidates looking to preside over an office that has a $120 million budget and around 1,400 full-time employees who are responsible for administering a range of legal records and processing fines, among other duties, according to the Tribune.

Other candidates include “Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Commissioner Mariyana Spyropoulos, state Sen. Iris Martinez, attorney Jacob Meister and Cook County Board of Review commissioner Michael Cabonargi,” NBC 5 reports.

Cabonargi was endorsed by the Cook County Democratic Party on Aug. 16.

NEWS briefs Proviso Township TIF revenue up 6%, county clerk’s report shows Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts in Cook County will bring in nearly $1.2 billion for tax year 2018 — or 17 percent more than the year before — a report released last month by Cook County Clerk Karen A. Yarbrough’s office shows.

The 36 TIF districts in Proviso Township will bring in $22.3 million in 2018 — or around 6 percent more than the year before, the report shows.

Melrose Park, which has seven TIF districts, generated the most TIF revenue in the township in both 2017 and 2018 — when the districts earned $7.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

Brookfield experienced the highest yearover-year increase in TIF revenue among Proviso suburbs. The $553,238 its three TIFs earned in 2018 is 117 percent more than the $255,111 in revenue they generated in 2017.

Northlake experienced the steepest decline in TIF revenue among Proviso suburbs. In 2017, it’s only TIF — the North Ave/Wolf SW Commercial TIF district — generated close to $1 million. That TIF, however, was canceled in 2018, when the town generated no TIF revenue.

The TIF district in Proviso Township that generated the most revenue in 2018 was Maywood’s Madison Street/Fifth Avenue TIF. That TIF district earned $3.6 million in 2018 revenue, which is roughly what it earned in 2017.

The three largest TIF districts in Proviso Township, ranked by 2018 revenue, are as follows: Maywood | Madison Street/Fifth Avenue TIF | | $3.6 million Hillside | Mannheim | $2.7 million Melrose Park | Mid-Metro Industrial Area | $1.9 million “When a city designates an area as a TIF district, the property value of all the real estate within its boundaries at that time is designated as the ‘base value,’” City Lab reports. “This is the amount that, for a set amount of years after the fact, generates revenue through the city’s property tax process. Everything over and above that, through an increase in value of existing real estate and new development in that time frame, goes into a separate fund earmarked for economic development.”

Former Aldi to become blood plasma donation center The old Maywood Aldi at 215 Madison St., is poised to become a blood plasma donation center.

Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins confirmed on Aug. 16 that the building had been purchased by a plasma donation company. The purchase price or the exact date of the sale is not yet known.

The former Aldi location is listed on the

website of Grifols Plasma — a network of plasma donation centers across the country — as opening soon. Each center is managed by one of three companies.

Biomat USA, Inc., one of those Los Angeles-based subsidiaries, will manage the Maywood location.

Officials with Grifols or Biomat could not be contacted on last Friday evening for comment.

Perkins said that Grifols representatives introduced themselves to community members at the Maywood Police Department’s annual National Night Out celebration, held Aug. 6 behind the police station.

The mayor said that Grifols purchased the nearly 16,000-square-foot building directly from Aldi, which closed the store — their only Maywood location — in 2016.

She said that the company had come before the Board of Trustees earlier this year, but that most members were against the idea of a plasma company setting up inside of the last full-service grocery store to have operated in the village.

Bellwood woman sues Oak Park hospital after contracting Legionnaires Disease A 66-year-old Bellwood woman is suing Rush Oak Park Hospital for unspecified monetary damages, claiming she contracted Legionnaire’s Disease there during a visit to the hospital’s emergency room in July.

Joyce Walker filed a lawsuit in the Law Division of Cook County Circuit Court on Aug. 15, claiming that Rush failed to prevent the spread of Legionella bacteria at the hospital after a case of Legionnaires Disease was reported there in May 2019.

Rush spokeswoman Deb Song said the hospital does not comment on pending litigation.

Daniel R. Seidman, of Seidman Margulis & Fairman LLP, who is representing Walker in the lawsuit, said in an email that Walker was admitted to the hospital on July 15 through July 17.

“By the next day, she was very ill with Legionnaire’s Disease, with severe respiratory distress,” Seidman wrote. “She was admitted to one hospital and transferred to another. Ms. Walker arrested in the ambulance: Her heart stopped.”

Walker was revived but spent the next several weeks in intensive care.

“She has suffered from severe respiratory illness including bilateral pneumonia,” Seidman wrote in the email. “She was just recently discharged, but lasting effects from the illness are expected.”

The lawsuit claims that Rush Oak Park “failed to timely and properly implement the use of point-of-use filters” to prevent the spread of the bacteria.

It also states that Rush failed to implement appropriate control measures and maintain appropriate water temperatures at the hospital.

In late July, the Illinois Department of Public Health reported that two people who had been patients at Rush Oak Park Hospital had contracted Legionnaire’s Disease. Exactly where those patients contracted the disease remains under investigation by the IDPH. Rush Oak Park Hospital said at the time that it does not believe the hospital was the source.

“The source of these two cases are yet to be determined,” the hospital said when the cases were first made public.

IDPH said in July that Legionella bacteria spreads during outbreaks at buildings with “complex water systems like hotels, hospitals, long-term care facilities and cruise ships.”

Broadview board praises retiring police commander Michael Kosick The Broadview Board of Trustees praised retiring Broadview Police commander Michael Kosick during a regular meeting on Aug. 5. Kosick recently retired from the department after 30 years of service. He will work as a resource officer at Lindop Elementary School.

“It’s always hard to see our longtime workers leave,” said Trustee Judy Miller.

“I remember having a conversation with Commander Kosick years ago when I was on the board prior and he seemed so passionate about making sure that the community moves forward. Sometimes we forget that our officers actually do care. We say that they’re not in it for us or to make things happen and he actually was.”

Trustee Sherman Jone said that Kosik — who has worked as a juvenile officer, detective, patrol sergeant and operations commander — served in virtually every position within the department except for chief.

“He’s helped people at all stops,” Jones said, adding that Kosick has also worked at Home Depot in Broadview for many years.

“He has a helping hand for anybody.”

After reading a resolution acknowledging Kosick’s years of service, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson called him “the comedian of the police department,” before adding that the retiring commander “is such a fun guy. He has a great personality and when I heard he was going over to Lindop to be the resource officer for them, I thought that was

the best connection for that school.

“It made sense for his background — he troubleshoots, he’s well-rounded, he’s personable and approachable. That’s good for a school environment,” Thompson said, before addressing Lindop officials in the audience.

“You have one of the best that Broadview can offer,” the mayor said.

Registration now open for Cook County Land Bank’s annual free home giveaway The Cook County Land Bank Authority, which was established by the county in 2013 to help attract developers to taxdelinquent properties, announced recently the opening of the lottery registration period for its third annual Home Giveaway.

The lottery registration period is from Aug. 10 through Sunday, Sept. 15.

After registration closes, the winner of the house will receive the keys and deed to a free, rehabbed single-family house in the Washington Heights neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side in the fall, Land Bank officials explained.

The specific address of the house won’t be revealed until the winner is announced in the fall. Land Bank officials said in a statement that the lucky homeowner “would be responsible for paying only property taxes, insurance and utility bills.”

Those interested in the home giveaway drawing can register online at: www.cookcountylandbank.org/homeownergiveaway.

The lottery was introduced in 2017 in order to raise awareness about the Land Bank’s Homebuyer Direct Program, which helps alleviate obstacles to homeownership by offering fixer-upper houses in Cook County at below-market prices.

“People who own homes are more vested in them and, in turn, more vested in the health of the community,” said Robert Rose, the Land Bank’s executive director. “We’re happy to give away a free home to shine a light on this great program.”

Fifth Third Bank sponsored this year’s home rehab, which was carried out by the twin Downing Brothers of the HGTV pilot show “Double Down.”

“We have rehabbed many homes, but this is one of the most impactful projects we’ve been involved in because it helps make affordable homeownership more accessible,” said Anton Downing.

The brothers announced the start of the registration process for the free home giveaway at the Bud Billiken on Saturday.

They were honorary grand marshals of the event.

Last year’s free home was located at 1008 N. Maywood Drive in Maywood. Jenia Hart, 21, won the home.

BLACK HISTORY ‘Key to liberation’ from page 1 school may meet this requirement through an online program or course,” according to an online summary of the law.

Although all of the stakeholders interviewed for this article agree that students should understand and study African American history, there is some disagreement about what the new law actually says, how to implement it at District 209 and how quickly those changes should be made.

Dr. Nicole Howard, D209’s assistant superintendent for Academics, Student and Family Services, said that the experience of Blacks in the United States is unique and that the new law acknowledges that “vestiges of slavery” still exist in this country.

District 209 board member Rodney Alexander, a resident of Proviso Township since 1994 and a senior parole agent with the Illinois Department of Corrections for the last 18 years, has been among the most vocal proponents of the law. He said that the source of his passion for what is taught in D209 schools is both personal and professional.

He said his work with young, Black men has regularly exposed him to the “vestiges” of slavery in America. Alexander ticked off some of those vestiges — from violence, unemployment and poor health conditions to the prison population boom and self-hatred.

The board member said that all of this can be attributed to the scourge of systemic racism.

Alexander said that he believes that the state law effectively mandates that schools require African American history to be taught in a standalone course — separate from other kinds of history.

Bishop Reginald Saffo, the chairman of Proviso Township Ministerial Alliance Network, agrees with Alexander.

“We are asking the schools to comply with the current law,” Saffo said. “The bill requires that school districts offer a structured curriculum course of study on African American history. The goal is to have the program in place by the fall. When I approached the district about this issue, they were very open to investigating the matter, which led them to conclude they were not in compliance.”

Howard, however, said that the exact word used in the text of the bill is “unit,” which is not a separate course; that Proviso East already has an elective course on Black history available to students; and that the teaching of the African American experience already takes place in units taught in American History, civics and literature. She added that there are also events and initiatives related to African American and Latinx history that supplement what’s offered in the classroom.

Board member Claudia Medina said that the law only mandates a required course on African American History at public universities.

Still, Howard said, D209 is engaged in a major equity study that she believes will surface more ideas on how to enhance the teaching of Black history in the three high schools in the district. She said that it takes about a year for the school board, administration and faculty to go from the introduction of an idea to implementing it in the curriculum.

Right now, the idea of creating a separate black history course has only been introduced in the Student Achievement and School Innovation committee chaired by Medina. District 209 board President Ned Wagner said that it was impossible for him to predict when a decision would be made regarding the issue.

“At our most recent board meeting, [Supt. Jesse Rodriguez] presented the idea that D209 could adapt its curricula to incorporate materials and techniques not just to teach our students about these issues, but to emphasize the positive cultural attributes of our students so they can succeed in life because they are African American,” Wagner said.

“Education is the great equalizer and the key to liberation,” said Alexander. “Everyone has to be taught the same set of facts. When people know better, they do better.”

SPRINGFIELD – Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker celebrated a pair of new laws on Aug. 12 that expand the state’s medical marijuana program, including one that gives students more options for taking the drug at school.

“As we continue to reform state government so that it better serves its families, we must do so in a way that advances dignity, empathy, opportunity and grace. In each of these things, this legislation moves us forward,” Pritzker said at a billsigning ceremony in Springfield.

One of the bills expands a 2018 law known as “Ashley’s Law,” which authorizes schools to allow parents, guardians or other caregivers to administer cannabis-infused products to a student who is authorized to use medical marijuana.

The law is named after Ashley Surin, a Schaumburg student who uses marijuanabased products to manage a seizure disorder she developed at age 3 while undergoing

chemotherapy to treat cancer she had had since age 2. She won the right to use marijuana-infused products at school in a federal court battle that was decided in January 2018.

“We’re so proud of her, and we’re so happy this program is continuing and expanding because it’s like a miracle that our daughter is doing so well, and I can’t wait to see what she does next,” Ashley’s mother, Maureen Surin, said during the ceremony.

Since enactment of the first medical marijuana law in Illinois in 2013, Pritzker noted, more than 80,000 patients across the state have received authority to use marijuana to treat certain medical conditions.

Under Senate Bill 455, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2020, schools will be required to allow a school nurse or administrator to administer cannabis-infused products to a student who is a registered qualifying patient. It also allows students to self-administer the medication, under the direct supervision of a nurse or school administrator, and it expands a student’s access to the drug to include before- and after-school activities.

Pritzker also noted the signing of Senate Bill 2023, which he actually signed Friday, expanding and making permanent the medical cannabis pilot program, which was scheduled to sunset next year.

Among other things, it adds 11 conditions for which a person may use medical cannabis, including autism, chronic pain, migraines, osteoarthritis and anorexia nervosa. It also allows qualifying veterans’ access to medical marijuana as part of an Opioid Alternative Pilot Program.

It also expands the list of medical professionals who can certify patients to use medical marijuana beyond medical doctors to include advance practice registered nurses and physician assistants.

The bill further requires state regulators to award any remaining medical marijuana dispensary licenses under the same competitive application review rules that

apply under the new adult recreational marijuana law, meaning additional points are awarded to “social equity” applicants who come from high-crime or high-poverty neighborhoods, or applicants who have previously been arrested or convicted of minor marijuana offenses that are now eligible for expungement.

“This is yet another piece of legislation that expands equity across our state,” Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton said. “By making the medical cannabis program permanent, expanding access to veterans and expanding the list of medical conditions, we are ensuring that families all across our state have access to the health care that they deserve.”

SPEAKING OUT: The names of people whose lives were lost to gun violence were taped to the walls of a building during Duncan’s Saturday peace rally.

‘Hurt people hurt people,’ Maywood activist says

During Aug. 10 peace rally, Phyllis Duncan pleaded for community members to become more active in fight against violence

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The funerals of Dean Stansberry, 38, and Yarnell M. White, 30, both of Maywood, were held earlier this month. The two men were fatally shot on July 30 on the 1200 block of South 13th Ave. On Aug. 10, Phyllis Duncan, the founder of Mothers of Murdered Sons, stood in a parking lot on the corner of 9th Avenue and Madison Street in Maywood — two blocks from where Stansberry’s stepson, Isiah Scott, was murdered in March. The names of Scott, Stansberry and White, among other people whose lives were lost to gun violence, were handwritten on poster boards taped

to a building. The words preceding their names: “Justice for …”

Duncan, who lost her own son to gun violence in 2005, organized the event with the help of community members like Barbara Cole, the founder of Maywood Youth Mentoring. Cole passed out flyers featuring “10 survival tips if stopped by the police” and “10 community safety tips for you and your loved ones” as Duncan urged those at the gathering to get more involved in their community.

“We gotta be foot soldiers,” Duncan said into a bullhorn as cars whizzed by along Madison. “We can’t do this work inside doors.

We must leave our houses. We’ve got to knock on doors … Hurt people hurt people. We have

a lot of hurt people in our community.”

Miguel Jones, a Maywood trustee, said that he was in attendance “to support in any way I can,” adding that community members “have to speak and brainstorm about what we have to do to prevent these things.”

Min. Chris Burton, a spokesperson for #1 Stop the Violence, a community organization based in Chicago, said that he plans to coordinate with Duncan on an antiviolence event in late August.

“We want to let the people know that if you stand up, STV will stand up with you,” Burton said.

Nubian Malik, a local poet, said that gatherings like the one on Saturday should take place more often in Maywood.

“We need to make it our business to get together just to be together,” Malik said. “I want to encourage everybody to take heed what it is you’re looking at, because this is the space that, as African people, prior to our captivity, this was our reality — the African village. We knew that mamma and baba, the women and men inside the community, served the community and all the children belonged to us.”

Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins said that she hopes more people rally behind efforts like Duncan’s.

“She pulled this together out of her pocket,” the mayor said. “People need to support her. I just ask people to support her.”

Paving defects on Roosevelt Rd. leave officials hot Forest Park village officials are pressing IDOT to remedy flaws

By MARIA MAXHAM Forest Park Review

Despite the fact that the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) project on Roosevelt Road was completed in October 2017, almost two years ago, serious issues with cracking asphalt have still not been fixed, and it’s unclear who will take responsibility or when the road will be repaired.

Forest Park’s village government, though, continues to press its demands that IDOT remedy flaws in a project it managed and heavily subsidized. Village Manager Tim Gillian, Mayor Rory Hoskins and newly contracted lobbyist Michael Axelrod are triple teaming the state agency looking for resolution.

The $4.7 million improvement plan to enhance the look and feel of Roosevelt Road from Harlem Avenue to Des Plaines Avenue in Forest Park was a joint effort between the IDOT, which contributed $2.3 million, and the village government, which paid $2.4 million from the Roosevelt Road TIF and other village funds.

The project included plans to beautify the area with landscaped planters, parkway trees, benches and ornamental lighting.

But one of the most important parts of the venture, pavement resurfacing on Roosevelt

Road, showed defects almost immediately after completion.

Because Roosevelt Road is a state route, the road repair was largely managed by IDOT, which hired Alliance, a general contractor based in suburban Woodstock.

Alliance, in turn, subcontracted Schroeder Asphalt to pave the road.

Gillian said that “almost right away” he and village engineers noticed and documented potholing and cracking in the pavement. This cracking is known as raveling, a condition in which the asphalt deteriorates as stones work their way out of it, causing defects in the road.

Raveling can be caused by several things but is usually the result of one of two factors.

First, there can be a problem with the asphalt mix itself, which needs to be the perfect combination of emulsion, sand and stones. If the mix design is wrong, there will be problems with the road surface after it is applied.

The other common cause is in how the mix is applied or rolled on the surface of the street; nuclear density testing tells the engineers how many times the mix, or mat as it is called after it is laid down, should be rolled. Both the asphalt composition and the rolling of the mat require testing, and Gillian says that Forest Park hired an independent

nuclear density tester, a private firm, to make sure the mat was rolled the correct number of times. Forest Park also adhered to everything else in the contract that was the village’s responsibility, said Gillian.

According to Gillian, over a period of several months after completion of the project, IDOT did testing on the broken pavement.

It was determined that the pavement did not meet compaction requirements, and IDOT representatives agreed there was an issue. Discussions at that point focused on a complete resurfacing of the street at IDOT’s expense, the outcome Gillian and the village’s engineering firm have desired and championed from the beginning.

However, according to the village, once IDOT realized how high the cost of total resurfacing would be, it backed off and began discussing “remedial options” such as patching.

There has been “lots of back and forth” between IDOT and Forest Park, say village officials. But no written agreement has been reached. Gillian says that “on two instances we were told IDOT would fix it,” but both times IDOT backed off from these verbal agreements.

According to village officials, the most recent verbal agreement was made in the

fall of 2018, almost a year ago. IDOT agreed to patch the most damaged parts of the road.

Forest Park submitted a change order, but it has not yet been approved by IDOT, despite the village following up “every few weeks” with them.

Gillian is currently waiting for the approved change order from Springfield, in which IDOT will officially and in writing either agree or refuse to help in remedying the problem, as well as specify exactly what type and monetary amount of assistance it will provide, if any.

The village should have an answer within the next few weeks, and Gillian is determined to keep reaching out to IDOT until they have a definite answer. Hoskins plans to discuss with Gillian whether Forest Park’s new lobbyist Michael Axelrod can assist in the matter. Axelrod’s contact was approved by the village board on Aug. 12. He is the son of David Axelrod, President Barack Obama’s former chief strategist and senior advisor who according to Hoskins, has “strong relationships in the state government.”

Neither IDOT nor Schroeder Asphalt responded to inquiries from the Review before press time.
