Maywood seeks to buy new ladder truck, ambulance Total costs of purchases could be close to $1 million

The village of Maywood is looking to purchase a new ambulance and a new ladder truck for the Maywood Fire Department, which has been dealing with an aging fleet of emergency vehicles for years. The total cost of the two new vehicles could be close to $1 million.

Maywood Fire Chief Craig Bronaugh proposed the vehicle acquisitions during a regular board meeting on Sept. 4.

Bronaugh approached the board in 2013 about vehicle maintenance issues the department was dealing with back then. As a result, the board approved the emergency purchase of an ambulance before allowing the purchase of a new ambulance several See MAYWOOD VEHICLES on page 4

The annual Maywood Fest, held Sept. 14 through Sept. 16, attracted small business owners from within the village and beyond it.

May Disse, an online-based professional Henne artist, was lured to this year’s fest by one of the organizers, Randall McFarland.

“He ran into me at a festival in the South Loop and asked me to come out,” said Disse, who was on hand to create temporary Henne tattoos (Henne is a plant-based dye).

“I really enjoy it here, because it’s all about the community and I love the people.”

Nzinga Nommo, the owner of Afriware Books, an independent bookstore in Maywood — one of the oldest black-owned

bookstores in the country — sponsored a screening of “Black Panther” during the first day of the fest on Friday.

The screening accompanied a discussion about the film and featured people dressed as characters from the movie.

Nommo said that this year’s fest, which See MAYWOOD FEST on page 3

MAYWOOD FEST Great days from page 1 was the first time her business had a presence at the event, was a reminder of what makes the village special.

“Of all the places Afriware has been, Maywood is the the place that is most like home,” she said. “We’ve had mayors visit the store … Maywood is on the up to me, and the best-kept secret is the people, the spirit of the people.”

Samantha Redmond, the owner of Samantha’s Sweet Treats, came from Hillside to display her cupcakes, cakes and other desserts. Her mother-in-law, Maywood resident and frequent board meeting attendee Lucille Redmond, helped her out in the booth.

“I do a variety of all types of sweets,” Samantha said, adding that, like Disse, virtually all of her business is conducted online.

Michael Robinson, an employee of Surf ’s Up, which has multiple locations, including one in Maywood, said that this year’s fest was the first in which the business was able to serve up its tasty fried green tomatoes, fried shrimp, fish and chicken.

“The fest has been treating us well,” Robinson said on Saturday. “This has been a successful seafood restaurant in Maywood for four years now. We just want to support the community as the community supports us.”

Maywood Police Chief Valdimir Talley said that this year’s fest was an evolution from last year’s.

“I can see that it’s a lot larger than it was last year,” he said. “More food services are out here. The mayor and her staff did an excellent job. I’m happy with it.”

Ray Williams, one of the organizers of the fest who facilitated security for the event, said on Saturday afternoon that his team had not experienced any safety incidents — better for residents to enjoy the weekend’s musical acts.

Many of the performers, such as Maywood native and Grammy-nominated saxophonist D-Erania, and recording artist John Blu, are Proviso Township natives who have made it big.

Blu — a singer, songwriter and producer signed with Jive Records — has worked with artists like DJ Khaled, Twista, Jeremih and Future. The Bellwood native’s breakout hit, “In Love with Your Booty,” reached #32 on Billboard’s R&B charts in 2010.

“Never give up, keep yourself grounded, stay humble, be careful of the team you put around you and stay consistent,” said Blu, when asked what advice he’d offer young artists who may want to follow his path to the Billboard charts.

Blu’s most recent album, “Sacrifice Before Success,” seemed to encapsulate a creed he’s applied to his successful career.

“It’s about the blood, sweat and tears you put into your passion,” he said.

Traffic changes ahead due to construction Madison Street construction to last two months, cause lane closures

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Commuters traveling through Maywood should brace for traffic changes related to construction on Madison Street, from First Avenue to the Des Plaines River.

“The village will receive federal funding as part of the Surface Transportation Program to cover 80 percent of the construction costs,” according to a letter sent to residents by village officials. “In all, the village will

receive up to $547,000 to construct the project.”

The construction work started on Sept. 10 and is expected to take around two months to complete, the letter states. Construction will include “repairing certain sections of the sewer and drainage structures, intermittent replacement of the concrete curb and gutter, handicap accessible sidewalk ramps, and replacement of certain sidewalks,” among other work.

The letter states that certain “lane closures of the street will need to occur during the day to allow for the installation of the improvements. Generally, the lanes will be re-opened to local traffic after work hours.

“The contractor will pass out notice again when he begins work on the curb and gutter and sidewalks, as well as the pavement patches. Certain businesses will not have access to their driveway aprons while the curb and gutter, or pavement patches are being installed and curing.”

During certain phases of the construction, the letter continues, “Greenwood Avenue as well as Orchard Avenue may need to be closed at Madison Street for a period of up to several days. Residents may enter and exit their properties via Legion Street or Wilcox Street as needed at that time. Additionally, Greenwood Avenue will be converted to ‘twoway’ traffic at that time.”

Village officials said that they don’t anticipate that garbage collection will be affected and that residents may “continue

Pace detour alert The following Pace detour will be in effect only on Sept. 22.

Madison Street will be CLOSED between Circle Ave. in Forest Park and 9th Ave. in Maywood Routes 303, 310, 317 and 318 will operate detours during trips that operate between 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sept. 22.

Route 331 will operate detours during trips that operate between 9 a.m., through 12 p.m. on Sept. 22.

For more details on the detours, visit: maywood-il.org/Village-News/PACE-PASSENGERS-ROUTE-DETOUR-ALERT!!!.aspx.

MAYWOOD EMERGENCY VEHICLES Big price tags from page 1 months later. Currently, Bronaugh said, the department has three ambulances.

“The decision was made to keep the ambulance fleet on a rotation basis,” he said, adding that in 2013 the board planned to decommission, auction and replace each reserve ambulance in the fleet every five years. The vehicle that is scheduled to be replaced has 81,000 miles on it, the chief said.

“It would be at the point where we’d start experiencing mechanical failure,” he said.

“I want to avoid that by putting that dire money toward better use.”

The cost of the new ambulance would not exceed $114,183, according to department documents. The village has already budgeted for the expense, Bronaugh said.

The purchase of the new vehicle would be through the Houston-Galveston Area Council Cooperative Purchasing Program, which would facilitate the bidding process for the new ambulance.

Bronaugh also recommended that the board decommission the department’s current aerial ladder truck, which has a cracked frame, and approve the purchase of a new ladder truck, which could cost close to $1 million, according to cost estimates the chief presented.

“This vehicle has been a topic of discussion on and off for several years now,” Bronaugh

said of the 103-foot ladder truck, which ne noted the department has had since 1997.

“I have continuously made the efforts to maintain this vehicle for use, to keep it on the street for as long as possible, because this vehicle is expensive,” the chief said.

“In addition to that, this vehicle gives us the ability to perform vital functions at a fire incident.”

Bronaugh said that the ladder truck’s functions range from carrying lighting equipment during night-time operations, carrying ground ladders in the event that firefighters need to rescue someone from a building that’s at least two stories tall and carrying an emergency generator in case an addition power source is needed at the scene of an emergency, among many others.

to place garbage cans as usual, and the contractor will assist in ensuring the garbage is removed. However, notice will be given to all affected residents if any changes in service are necessary once work begins.”

For more information on the construction, residents should contact Bill Peterhansen at Hancock Engineering at bpeterhansen@ ehancock.com or (708) 865-0300). They can also call the village’s Community Development Department at (708) 450-4429.

CONTACT: thevillagefreepress@gmail.com

Based on two cost estimates that Bronaugh presented, a new ladder truck could range between roughly $855,000 and roughly $914,000. Those cost estimates, however, could likely be higher than the actual costs of the new vehicle when depreciation is factored into the purchase price.

Bronaugh said that manufacturers of new ladder trucks often drive them around the country to exhibitions and to different fire departments, which could slightly lower their value.

“There’s no disputing that this vehicle is expensive, but this is a vital piece of equipment needed for our ability provide fire protection,” the chief said. “I have used this vehicle on a water reduce incident, downed power lines and other situations that

could be considered emergency or fire departmentrelated.”

Bronaugh said that the department has responded to more than 300 emergencies this year, 20 of them structure fires.

Bronaugh said that it would be more cost efficient to simply purchase a new fire ladder instead of pour more money into maintaining the current one. He said that the department applied for federal grant funding to try to offset the cost of purchasing a new truck, but was denied because the truck wasn’t old enough.

The village could possibly offset the cost of a new ladder truck by auctioning off the current one, which the chief said still has some valuable parts, such as the emergency generator.

The board voted unanimously to decommission the current ladder truck and to allow the chief to go ahead with the bidding process. Trustee Melvin Lightford was absent.

The board is expected to make a final vote on the aerial ladder truck purchase at a regular meeting on Sept. 18.

A Maywood park, built in a day Volunteers installed new playground space at Winfield Scott Sept. 14

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Maywood young people now have a brand new space in which to play after several dozen volunteers pitched in on Sept. 14 to build a new playground area at Winfield Scott Park, at 1800 S. Maywood Drive in Maywood, within roughly six hours.

The project was the result of a collaboration between the Maywood Park District, the village of Maywood and KaBOOM, a national nonprofit “dedicated to bringing balanced and active play into the daily lives of all kids,” according its website.

KaBOOM paid for the equipment through a partnership with Keurig Dr. Pepper. The village of Maywood Board of Trustees and the park district entered into an intergovernmental agreement in May. At the time, Lonette Hall, the park district executive director, said that the park district needed the village’s permission to allow the equipment to be installed in order to finalize the grant.

Winfield Scott Park is currently one of six parks in Maywood owned and maintained by the village. The park district and the village, however, are in the process of transferring six parks that the latter currently owns and

sponsors today. We believe in community. We’re ready to get down and dirty to make this thing happen.”

Back in May, Hall said that KaBOOM required community leaders to gather input on how residents wanted the park to look and the kind of equipment that would be installed.

Dawn Rone, the Maywood Park District Commission president, said Christopher Parker/Facebook in May that park district officials DONE DEAL: Several dozen volunteers helped to build new playground space at Winfield Scott Park met with representatives from other in Maywood on Sept. 14.

Small farmers come to Proviso

Whiteside County farmers tour villages with adopted state Rep. Welch

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Whiteside County, Ill. is where the easternmost portion of Iowa kisses the westernmost portion of the Land of Lincoln. Tampico, one of the county’s most recognizable municipalities, is where President Ronald Reagan was born.

Morrison, Whiteside’s county seat, is closer to Iowa City than Chicago.

But during a Wednesday morning earlier this month, a group of farmers from Whiteside County was in Maywood to see the state representative they’re calling their own even though his office is more than two hours away from where they live.

“Every other year, we alternate,” said state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th) — the legislator this group representing the Whiteside County Farm Bureau adopted as part of the Illinois Farm Bureau’s Adopt-ALegislator program.

“This year, it’s their turn to visit me, so I wanted to show off what Chris is doing over here,” he said.

Welch was standing near the Proviso Giving Garden, the largest urban garden in Maywood that spans the perimeter of ReUse

Depot, 50 Madison St., on Sept. 5.

Chris Epps — the garden’s master gardener who is employed full-time by Proviso Partners for Health, a coalition of organizations dedicated to raising the quality of life for residents in the township — gave the group a tour of the garden and explained its importance to Maywood and the surrounding suburbs.

“I designed this garden for it be a potential farm,” Epps told the visitors as he showed them his crops of tomatoes, turnip greens, peppers and more. “It has everything we need to be productive. Over the last 18 months, I’ve easily grown more than 2,000 pounds of produce.”

Paul Kane, a small farmer from Whiteside, said that he and the other small farmers in the group grow corn, soybeans, watermelons, cantaloupe and hay, among other things.

Even though their land spans between 400 and 700 acres, they’re still considered small farmers, he said.

“We’re the small group,” Kane said. “The average sized farm is getting up over 1,000 acres.”

Epps, who lit up during this discussion, said he’d love to visit one of the farms someday — and like that, a seed was planted.

how vital agriculture is to Illinois. In turn, he said, he hopes that the farmers, who live in areas with Republican state legislators, can get some understanding of why he votes the way he does.

This year, Welch said, he was eager to take his honorary constituents on a tour of his district — where in some areas, such as Maywood — which lost its only full-service grocery store in 2016 — food is much harder to come by.

In addition to the Giving Garden, Welch also took them to Borg Warner, the automotive parts manufacturer, at 700 S. 25th Ave. in Bellwood, and Vanee Foods, which makes a variety of products from soups to gravies, at 2750 S. 25th Ave. in Broadview.

The group stopped at Giordano’s, 10410 W. Cermak Rd. in Westchester, for lunch.

“Agriculture is a huge part of our economy,” Welch said. “If we ignore agriculture, we’ll ignore a critical part of what makes our state’s economy grow.”

And it can also be what brings people together, the farmers said.

“There’s something about agriculture and food that is so basic to all of us,” said Kane said.

“We’ll lose track of it, if we’re not careful.”

CONTACT: thevillagefreepress@gmail.com

Matt Lillpop, the executive director of the Whiteside County Farm Bureau, said that the Adopt-A-Legislator program was designed to facilitate these kinds of cultural exchanges.

According to its website, the program was developed in 2001 in order to build “long-term personal relationships between urban state legislators and farmers from across the state.

“The goal of the program is to educate urban legislators about agriculture, our state’s largest industry, and rural life, while also helping our members better understand the needs and concerns of an urban district.”

Lillpop said that he and the other farmers first adopted Welch’s immediate predecessor, former state representative and current Cook County Recorder of Deeds Karen Yarbrough.

“Karen told me during our transition period that she was adopted into this program and asked me if it would be something I’d be interested in continuing,” Welch said. “I said it sounds fabulous. So, she introduced me and they explained the idea behind the program. I was fascinated.”

Welch said that he’s taken his wife and two children, and busloads of senior citizens, to farms in Whiteside County.

The exchanges, the Democratic legislator said, have helped him to better understand

The county recorder’s latest act Karen Yarbrough, longtime politician, now a playwright

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Karen Yarbrough, the owner of an insurance agency, the current Cook County Recorder of Deeds, and the Democratic candidate for Cook County Clerk, is known widely as an entrepreneur and politician.

Now you can call also call her a playwright.

Yarbrough’s first play, Passin’ Where the River Bends, premiered on Sept. 7 at Madison Street Theatre, 1010 Madison St. in Oak Park, before an audience of several hundred people. The production ran through Sept. 9.

During an interview last week, Yarbrough said she wrote the play around a decade ago, prompted, in part, by her research into critical points in African-American history, such as the Underground Railroad and the first and second Great Migrations of African Americans to the north.

“I was struck by reading that there were more than 200,000 [fair-skinned] blacks who moved up to Canada, passed for white and were never heard of again,” Yarbrough said The play is set in 1960s Maywood on the banks of the Des Plaines River, where the protagonist, Eliza Benson (portrayed by Rosette Jarriett, artistic director of the Magnified Gift Theater Company, which produced the play), lives with her caretaker,

Iris (played by Sony Cha’Rae Ward).

When a young student, Mazie (played by Amber Sallis), seeks out Benson to interview for a school assignment she’s working on, the elderly woman, who is in her late 80s, seizes the moment to reveal her truth.

Mazie, spunky and determined, must navigate through Iris’ stubborn protectiveness, and Benson’s sleeping spells, to get the sweep of the elderly woman’s story, which anchors the play.

Benson and members of her family passed for white, keeping a critical part of their identities hidden to the world. The play shows them dealing with the fallout of this elaborate subterfuge.

“The play’s name is more indicative of somebody passing as a different race,” said Leonard Robinson, the play’s director. “Each race or society of people has secrets that they keep from each other or their surroundings.

“Passing is something we do every day,”

Bellwood D88’s Preschool for All earns ‘Gold Circle’ rating from state Bellwood School District 88’s Preschool for All program recently earned a Gold Circle of Quality rating from ExceleRate Illinois, the state’s quality recognition and improvement system for early learning and development programs.

In a letter sent to district officials last month announcing the distinction, an official with the Illinois State Board of Education said that D88’s preKindergarten site at Lincoln Primary/Early Childhood Center, 3519 S. Wilcox St., achieved the distinction after monitoring visits conducted to evaluate the program’s quality.

“ExceleRate Illinois is anchored by a set of standards that focus on early

learning and development and places a high priority on instructional excellence, family services, staff qualifications, professional development, and program administration,” the letter states.

Last week, D88 Supt. Mark Holder said that he was “proud” to announce the district’s Gold Circle status, the second year in a row that the Preschool for All program has achieved the distinction, district officials said.

“The Board is extremely proud of this recognition for District 88, and it commends the superintendent, administration, and staff for this achievement,” D88 board members said in a joint statement.

Robinson added.

“This play is about identity and being able to be comfortable with who you are in your own skin.

It’s about the ability to relate to others and to keep your true identity when others around you are dismissing or ignoring you, like you’re invisible.”

Yarbrough said that, although the play is not based on her own family history, Eliza Benson is the name of her husband’s mother. And while she did not herself act in the play, the longtime politician said she’s no stranger to the stage.

“I performed in Amen Corner,” she said, referencing a three-act play by James Baldwin that was put on at a theater company in Maywood located on St. Charles Rd. before closing some time ago.

“That’s where I met Leonard and Percy Littleton,” she said. “During that time, I was running for office. They asked me to read a small part and I did. Next thing I know, I ended up with the lead role of Sister

Margaret. I enjoyed it immensely.”

“Each one of us is acting on the stage of life every day,” said Robinson, explaining why he decided to cajole Yarbrough into the lead role.

“Our roles change, depending on which group of people we’re with,” he said. “People in public office do this even more because they have to communicate what they want to get across on different people’s levels so that their message is understood.”

Robinson said Yarbrough settled into the role naturally, without losing her sense of self.

“A lot of times, I tell people, ‘Just be yourself, know the story and tell it how you would tell it,’” he said.

That could also be Yarbrough’s mantra as a playwright, a role she’s also growing into rather naturally. She has two more plays in the hopper and she has hopes for bringing a theater back to Proviso Township. The recorder said that she’ll likely be joining the board of Magnified Gift, which is looking to identify space for a theater within the township.
