Bellwood library gets new board majority The library board votes in new leadership, appoints two new members

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

After several months of stasis, the Bellwood Public Library Board of Trustees has a newly configured majority. During a Sept. 12 regular meeting, the board appointed two new members and voted in officers — roughly five months after the April 4 elections.

Dorothy Clark-Smith, Deborah Giles and Connie Riales — all of whom ran on the Bellwood Dream Team Party slate in April — were elected the library board’s president, vice president and secretary, respectively.

The board also appointed two new members — Rev. Michael Horton, a former library board member, and Gloria Ward — who round out a five-person majority that will replace a board majority helmed by former board president Mary Clements.

When Clements and board member Janice English showed up to the Sept. 12 meeting, Clark-Smith, Giles and Riales said they were See BELLWOOD LIBRARY on page 4

After DACA’s end, a fresh round of anxiety Residents throughout Proviso Township are anxious, mobilizing

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

President Donald Trump’s recent decision to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a policy

implemented in 2012 by President Barack Obama, has many community members in Proviso Township worried, anxious and preparing to pushback.

“There’s a huge sense of anxiety,” said Claudia Medina, a Forest Park resident

and the first Latina elected to the District 209 School Board.

Medina said that she’s spoken with D209 administration officials about the See DACA on page 6

Bellwood Chamber’s resource fair On Friday, Sept. 14, a few hundred people converged on Stevenson Park, 3105 Washington Blvd. in Bellwood, for the Bellwood Chamber of Commerce’s 2017 Business Resource Fair.

The event featured free food, raffles and resources from at least a dozen different vendors. Speakers included Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey and state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th).

On Sept. 16 in La Grange Park, Maywood native Darrick Campbell celebrated the release of his book, “My Father’s Son,” which details his experiences as a young father trying to overcome the problems of his past.

Remodeled Broadview Aldi a hit with shoppers The store reopened on Sept. 13 after being closed five weeks for renovations

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Terri Sansone, of Forest Park, was in line at around 6 a.m. on Wednesday to catch a glimpse of the newly remodeled Broadview Aldi, 1001 W. Cermak Rd. The Sept. 13 grand reopening lured patrons from around the western suburbs.

By the time store employees began inviting customers inside, at around 8:30 a.m., a line of at least 100 people, all of them braving heavy rainfall, had formed outside of the store’s brand new facade. The first 100 shoppers in line received ‘golden’ gift cards of varying worth.

Sansone, the first customer to shop in the store since it closed for renovations several weeks ago, won a $10 gift card — well worth the wait, she said.

“I’m happy. This is a nice store. It’s bigger, cleaner, wider. The bathrooms are beautiful,” she said. “It’s really nice. I like all the different offerings.”

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson, along with various village department heads, were on hand to cut the ribbon on the newly remodeled store and to welcome customers inside.

“Congratulations to Broadview. This is long overdue. The store is beautiful and this is something we deserve in our community,” Thompson told shoppers moments before they went inside.

“We’re looking to bring great successes — fresh fruit, fresh items, a brand new, fresh Broadview as we move the village forward,” she said. “This is the start of many more collaborations.”

Chris Stair, Aldi’s director of real estate, said that the renovations took around 15 weeks, with the store closed for five weeks.

The renovations are part of the company’s national plan to invest $1.6 billion in improving and expanding more than 1,300 stores in the United States within three years. Roughly $180 million of that national investment will go into 130 stores in the Chicago area.

Stair estimates that the Aldi location in Bellwood will undergo similar renovations in 2019 while the one in Melrose Park will start renovations sometime next year.

“This [Broadview] store has more square footage than the old one,” Stair explained during Wednesday’s grand reopening. “We bumped out a wall and made the store wider.

ballet, tap, jazz, tumbling, drama, karate, art, piano, drums, guitar & voice Register Now! For more info or a catalog call

We’ve got more space for merchandising our products, new paint colors for graphics, new LED lighting, and state-of-the-art, energyefficient refrigeration systems.”

Stair said that the store renovations will allow the company to accommodate a lot more fresh offerings and Aldi-branded products.

“This expansion is not only for the fresh side of things, but we’re going to be adding several more core range products to our lineup,” he said. “We needed to expand to get that extra shelf space. We’re looking to roll out those products sometime in the middle of next year.”

Brian Ritzheimer, Aldi’s director of store operations, said that the Broadview store, in particular, will be looking to hire eight to 10 more employees. The company held a district-wide job fair on the Wednesday of the Broadview grand reopening, with applicants applying at the store location.

Ritzheimer said that the new store format will help help boost sales and entice new customers who are “excited about the fresh organics” and the new product placement.

“In the old store, produce used to be in the back, but now you’ll see that it’s in the first

You’ll see the fresh meat is built out. Bread is now in the first aisle. A lot of things that are very important to the customer are now called out and made focal points within the store.”

Robert Thurmond, a Broadview resident whose been shopping at the local Aldi for years, marveled at what he called a “great transformation from what it was to what it is today.”

“It’s awesome,” Thurmond said. “People will like it once they come out and see it.”

‘Thanks, but no thanks’

Owner of vacant Maywood funeral home offers to ‘donate’ building to village, which declines

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a Sept. 5 regular board meeting, Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins said that she recently got a call from the owner of the abandoned Corbin Colonial Funeral Chapel, located at 1001 Madison St. in Maywood. He had an offer.

“I got a call from [Randy] Corbin and he would like to donate this property to Maywood,” Perkins said to her board colleagues on Sept. 5, adding that the call prompted her to approach Maywood Village Manager Willie Norfleet, Jr. about whether the village should take up the offer.

“Norfleet said we could accept this property and not have to pay taxes,” Perkins said. “It’s a fantastic building and if we can accept the property and not have to pay the taxes, then why not? We saw it built, he was

not treated right in the village of Maywood and he is willing to donate to Maywood.”

According to a June 2009 West Suburban Journal report, the chapel’s owner, Randy Corbin, said that his 2008 second installment property taxes were $110,000 — a burden that village officials did nothing to help ease, he claimed.

Norfleet, however, said that if the village takes the building as a donation, it would have to pay the unpaid taxes on the property, “which are estimated at approximately $1.5 million.” Norfleet said that he didn’t think taking the building as a donation was a viable approach.

“From a donation standpoint and paying back taxes, I think that’s a very bad route to go,” Norfleet said. “There are other avenues to obtaining the building without [it being donated].”

Trustee Isiah Brandon also disagreed with the approach.

“We are not in real estate,” Brandon said. “We should not be in the business of collecting property. We’re having trouble maintaining our own. We’re trying to sell the other properties we currently have.”

Brandon said that the owner of another vacant building — a former dental office on 5th Ave. and Quincy St. — approached board members with a similar proposal.

“We don’t want to put ourselves in that corner where we’re doing something for one person and not another,” Brandon said. “We have to be consistent across the board.”

Having learned from the manager that the village would be paying $1.5 million in back taxes if they accepted Corbin as a donation, Perkins agreed with Trustee Henderson Yarbrough that the idea was “a dead issue.”

“It’s a moot point, we move on,” Perkins said.

When contacted Wednesday evening, Corbin said that he just wants the building off of his hands, adding that the taxes were $145,000 a year. He said that, at the time, he couldn’t get any help trying to ease his tax burden from the village.

“We tried every avenue we knew and couldn’t get any help from nobody,” he said.

Corbin said that he believes there’s a way for the village to obtain the building without having to pay the back taxes. ” I think they got a way they can get around that,” Corbin said. “They can get those taxes knocked out if they wanted to. They know how to go through the county and get that done. They can do that.”

BELLWOOD LIBRARY Fresh slate from page 1 all caught off guard. That meeting had been the first regular meeting since February where the board had enough members to make binding decisions, such as voting in new officers.

Several times in the past, residents said, Clements and her three allies on the board —English, Sharon Tharpe and Gwendolyn Reese — had been no-shows at regular meetings and even at special meetings they themselves called when it became clear that Giles and Clark-Smith, both of whom also serve on the Bellwood District 88 school board and sometimes have conflicting schedules, would show up anyway.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the library board elected to replace Tharpe and Reese with Horton and Ward. Tharpe’s seat on the board had been shrouded in controversy when it became apparent that she had been convicted of a felony. Some residents had also questioned Tharpe’s Bellwood residency, which had come into question after documents had surfaced indicating that she lives in Chicago.

In an interview last Friday, Clark-Smith said that, although Tharpe had been replaced, they’re currently working the legal system to try to solidify her removal.

According to state statutes, individuals with felony records are prohibited from holding elected office.

Reese’s board members had been under review by the State’s Attorney’s office after she was appointed during a special meeting on March 3.

Bellwood Public Library Executive Director Jacqueline Spratt reads a statement to board members at a regular meeting in July.

March meeting shows Clements, former board member Regina Greene and Tharpe voting to accept the resignation of former board member J.B. Carr. After which, all four board members, including Carr — who had just tended her resignation — voted to appoint Reese to the seat Carr had just vacated. The move was widely criticized by community members, including Jacqueline Spratt, the library’s executive director, who questioned its legality.

The recent board configuration comes less than two months after the former board majority voted to place Spratt on administrative leave and to rescind a board policy that authorized Spratt to “fill current staff vacancies, as well as future position

[sic] as long as the Board is notified of the open position by email or at a meeting.”

The policy change would have drastically altered the process by which employment decisions are made, placing the power to hire and fire in the hands of Clements and her three board allies — who many residents believe were controlled by Maywood businessman Chuck Baxter.

The Maywood resident has been described by the Edgar County Watchdogs, a public advocacy group, as a “mystery man” engaged in a “scheme involving kickbacks of some kind to plunder” the library, “using the board members he controls to achieve this.”

On Sept. 15, Clark-Smith said that the first

thing she and her board allies plan to do is revamp the library board’s bylaws.

“We’re going to try to do an administrative policy manual where we combine the library and board policies,” she said. “The attorney said it’s best to put it all in one book. That’s important because the community has been asking to see our bylaws updated for that for about two years now.”

Clark-Smith also praised community members who fought for a change of leadership on the library board.

“The community was always supporting us,” she said. “They never stopped continuing to support the board.”

Bellwood McDonald’s, closed for remodeling, to reopen in October The Bellwood McDonald’s, located at 520 S. 25th Ave., will open in early October, according to marketing officials affiliated with the company.

The store has been closed for several months while undergoing major renovations.

The store’s owner, Ray Nelson, announced back in May that the remodeling would cost around $1 million.

At the time, Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey said that the Nelson family was “going to make the McDonald’s new from the ground up and make it bigger somewhat.”

Jan and Ray Nelson have owned the Bellwood McDonald’s since its opening in 1996, according to a statement released by the franchisees last month.

“This, in fact, was the first brand new store they owned,” the statement read. “They had to remodel three times in the first seven years that they owned this store because it was too small for the sales it was achieving.”

In 2006, the owners installed a dual-lane drive-thru and remodeled the dining room.

The Nelson family has operated McDonald’s locations throughout the Chicago area for over three decades. They currently own and operate nine locations in the suburbs, including Maywood, Forest Park and Oak Park.

The independent film “Canal Street” may not be opening in theaters until next year, but there’s something about it that makes it immediately relevant. This summer, the film’s crew were shooting scenes at Proviso West and Proviso Math and Science Academy, according to District 209 officials.

Apparently, one of the crew members is a Proviso West graduate, officials said. “Canal Street” features “Empire” star Bryshere Y. Gray as Kholi Styles, a young man who moves from the South Side of Chicago to Winnetka after a classmate dies mysteriously and Styles becomes a suspect.

Other familiar names in the movie include Mekhi Phifer, Lance Reddick and Michael Beach. The film opens in theaters on February 1, 2018.

RTA seeking public comments for updated Maywood station area plan The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) recently announced the start of a public comment period for nine proposed program projects, including one in Maywood. The public comment period is open until Sept. 30.

According to the RTA, the proposed project for Maywood is an update of the station area plan for the village’s downtown, particularly near the recently completed Metra commuter station.

Gospel competition seeks to inspire once again

Choirs from all over Cook County will gather at St. Michael Missionary Baptist Church on Oct. 7

By LEE EDWARDS Contributing Reporter

Choirs from all across Cook County and even places beyond Illinois will all converge on St. Michael Missionary Baptist Church, 4106 W. Monroe St., on Oct. 7 to compete in the third annual Cook County Wide Gospel Choir Competition hosted by Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st) and The Dr. Willie Wilson Foundation.

Hosted by Inspiration 1390 AM radio personality Marcella Jones, the competition has five confirmed choirs that will be in attendance, with the hope that another

10 will confirm, according to Anthony Beckham, community outreach coordinator for Commissioner Boykin. The first- through third-place winners of the competition will receive cash prices of $1,000, $750, and $250, respectively.

“We believe it’s necessary to bring people from our communities together and think outside of the box and be very creative,” said Beckham. “We’re so proud that we’re going to be working with the Dr. Willie Wilson Foundation this event. Each year gets bigger and better; anywhere from 400 to 500 people come out to this event. It’s an awesome event and this year we think it’s going to be our

biggest event.”

Boykin said his office looks forward to the competition each year because it offers an afternoon of stress relief for competitors and attendees.

“We are a people who are soulful; we enjoy the opportunity to listen to music, gospel music,” said Boykin. “It has been so special to do the competition throughout the years because people come and have the opportunity to praise and worship and then you have some competition sprinkled on top of that where you have choirs that come from every part of the county to participate.”

PMSA teacher apologizes for anti-DACA Facebook post ‘They should go back,’ math teacher wrote, of juvenile undocumented immigrants

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A Proviso Math and Science Academy teacher has apologized for a Facebook post in which he said undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children should “go back.” The post ignited a furious response from current and former students at the Forest Park school.

When reached by phone on Tuesday, math teacher Dan Pellegrini confirmed that he posted the comment to Facebook, but he apologized before reversing his position.

“Yes that’s me,” Pellegrini said, before explaining what prompted the comment.

“One of my friend’s dad was killed by an undocumented worker. I got annoyed and ticked off. I wanted to delete the post but at the time it was too late. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend anyone. I actually don’t agree with [DACA recipients] being sent back.”

The online protest sparked on Sept. 8, when Lynette Aguirre, who graduated from PMSA in 2010, posted to Facebook a screenshot of a letter addressed to D209 administrators, including Superintendent Jesse Rodriguez, signed by the Class of 2010.

“Attached is a snipet [sic] of current teacher Mr. Dan Pellegrini expressing his thoughts on the current removal of DACA,”

DACA

Many concerns from page 1 district providing extra support services for students who may be affected by the president’s recent decisions. And earlier this month, the district released a letter stating their support for DACA recipients.

DACA offers a two-year period of relief from deportation that can be renewed, in addition to the opportunity to obtain a work permit, to people who immigrated to the United States illegally as minors.

Jeneth Vazquez, 23, of Maywood, said that she came to the United States with her family at eight years old. The work permit she obtained through DACA expires in 2019.

“As it stands, I will not be able to renew it,” she said. “After that, I don’t know what will happen.”

In the meantime, Vazquez said, she’ll continue her graduate studies in social work and her activism with PASO-West Suburban Action Project, the Melrose Park-based immigrant rights group for which she serves as a board member.

“Earlier this month, Vazquez attended an informational meeting hosted by PASO. Since Trump’s decision, officials with PASO have been busy planning protests, hosting

Proviso Township High School District 209 officials had not spoken with Pellegrini as of Tuesday morning, according to Cynthia Moreno, communications director for the district.

At least three students claimed that Pellegrini, who apparently had befriended many of his former students on Facebook, had by Sunday blocked most PMSA alumni that he had once been linked to on the social media platform.

The open letter to District 209 administrators that Aguirre posted on Sept.

8 had generated 80 reactions, 74 shares and 66 comments by Sept 12.

Proviso Township High School District 209 officials said in a statement released on Monday that they were “aware of the social media posting being circulated with allegations of a staff member at D209.

“The district has taken the necessary steps to address this matter. Please know that our schools welcome all students and families regardless of their citizenship, immigration status, or background. I want to assure you that PTHS D209’s faculty and staff is committed to the physical safety and emotion well-being of all students.”

The reactions from former and current PMSA students to Pellegrini’s comment ranged the gamut — from students defending

the teacher’s right to express his opinions to those who condemned the teacher.

Although the overwhelming majority of those who posted comments on Aguirre’s post were in opposition to Pellegrini’s statements and/or his public conduct, some students were supportive of the teacher, who Aguirre said has been at PMSA since 2009 — when the school opened.

Mercedes Jackson, whose Facebook post indicates that she currently attends PMSA, was among the few students in support of Pellegrini.

“Y’all bashing him about his opinion doesn’t make y’all any better,” Jackson wrote. “All this is so unnecessary. As a PMSA student now, Pellegrini is doing his job. Very pathetic how you guys are trying to drag his name through the dirt.”

On Sunday, Aguirre said that, while she doesn’t want to see Pellegrini terminated, she felt compelled to speak out against the comment and bring it to the attention of the district.

“I’ve gotten messages from current PMSA students who don’t feel welcomed at the school because of these comments,” she said.

“I just wanted them to know there are people who will stand up for DACA students.” VFP

“There are resources close by, but it’s sometimes hard to immediately access those in the suburbs,” Perez said. “A lot of our neighbors in Maywood are affected

by Trump’s new policies on immigration, so we really wanted to respond to that in a thoughtful way.”

Valerie Perez, a 15-year-old Proviso Math and Science Student, said that her best friend is a DACA recipient who was prompted to take a trip to Washington, D.C. earlier this month.

“The night before the trip, she asked me to go with her,” said Perez, who lives in Maywood. “I asked my mom and she said it was okay. There was nothing I could do at home other than worry and feel bad. So, I packed a duffle bag and got on a bus. I didn’t know anybody we were with or where we were going to stay when we got there. I just knew that I was going to fight for what I believe in.”

Betty Alzamora, of Forest Park, showed up at the PASO meeting to get information to relay to her friends, neighbors and fellow activists at home.

“I never get any rest,” said Alzamora. “It’s just one thing after another. You see it with your neighbors and the kids and the schools and the people you work with. If you have any empathy, you want to pay attention to these kids and their families.”

the letter states, referencing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a policy implemented in 2012 by President Barack Obama and recently rescinded by President Donald Trump.

The program offers a two-year period of relief from deportation that can be renewed, in addition to the opportunity to obtain a work permit, to people who immigrated to the United States illegally as minors.

DACA recipients are often referred to as “Dreamers.”

Aguirre also posted to Facebook a screenshot of the original comment that was posted on Facebook by Pellegrini and written in response to another comment.

“Pells I normally agree with you but a lot of pmsa kids are dreamers,” wrote a Facebook user whose account name is blacked out. “I can’t stand to watch them not have a future here. They didn’t have a voice in their parents decision to bring them [sic].”

“That’s too bad,” Pellegrini allegedly writes in response. “They should go back.”

The teacher’s comments were written around the same time that the school district sent out a letter to families expressing the district’s support of DACA students who may attend district schools, and providing information about the program.

VILLAGE perspectives

By TRE BROWN

The Proviso area has a long and rich history of gifted athletes. The legendary basketball courts at Tenth Park in Maywood and Memorial Park in Bellwood have cultivated many of these athletes.

From the rubber ball strike-em-out games on the local grade school walls to the afterschool two-hand tag football games in the street — true athletes were created during these competitions.

But basketball comes first in this community.

With multiple state championships, Sun-Times Player of the Year Awards, countless All-State & All-Area players, not to mention the NBA players who are born and raised in this area, it goes without saying that hoops is number one around here. Period!

That being the case however, many basketball stars from this area also played multiple sports — a reality that the younger generation may not know.

Former NBA small forward Michael Finley, for instance, played quarterback during his youth for the St. Eulalia Knights.

They don’t know about former NBA point guard Dee Brown’s dual threat skills as quarterback all four years at Proviso East.

They never saw the film of former Proviso East standout and NBA forward Sherrell Ford playing defensive end on the varsity level. They don’t know about former NFL free safety Ray Buchanan’s love for baseball as he played in the Maywood Little League with his brothers, Richard and Ryan.

They don’t know that former NBA player and current coach Doc Rivers played baseball for his father’s team as a youth.

Former Proviso West Panther and Dallas Cowboys’ lineman Flozell Adams wrestled

Where are the kids?

and threw the discus in high school.

The list goes on.

In the 1980’s, there were well over 300 kids playing football in this area for the Memorial Park Spartans and the St. Eulalia Knights.

There were many local, future basketball stars filling those rosters.

Both football programs were winning consistently with deep playoff runs every year. When the St. Eulalia program folded, the Maywood Bucs started a new era in the community and kept the winning tradition going. Throughout the 1990’s and early 2000’s, the registration lines successfully continued with the Spartans and Bucs, with plenty of parental support and positive vibes in the community.

With AAU basketball spreading like wildfire, the number of kids who play

football in this community has dropped d r a m a t i c a l ly.

The kids who once were “twosport athletes” began focusing on one sport all year round.

And more kids are looking for personal t r a i n e r s for skill development in order to give them the best chance to be great at their sport of choice.

Don’t take my word for it. Data from the Sports and Fitness Industry Association bears this point out.

Across the country, fewer and fewer children are choosing to play multiple sports, when they decide to play sports at all.

For the naturally gifted, choosing to focus on one sport from grade school through high school won’t guarantee anything. Then again, there are some kids who are being pressured into succeeding in only one sport, not realizing that there is more than one path to take.

The baseball programs in the area have also taken a tremendous hit in numbers as well. Even with Proviso East having a state championship and a host of local players having been drafted to professional baseball teams, these days, kids just aren’t being signed up to play.

The number of kids going out for the track and softball teams has also declined, because both sports were taken out of the local grade schools years ago.

The kids would rather stay home to play video games or have fun on social networks, instead of actually going outside. Kids who play freely outside tend to be more creative, have better personal interactive skills, better emotional skills and learn to love having fun.

The basketball courts aren’t crowded with kids on a daily basis anymore and neither are the local gyms. The baseball diamonds aren’t filled with kids. The football fields aren’t filled with kids. The non-sport programs at our park districts don’t have registration forms that are filled to capacity either.

Where are the kids?

Boykin circulating petitions for board president The county commissioner said he’ll announce whether he’s challenging Preckwinkle by month’s end

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st) — whose district represents all or parts of Broadview, Bellwood and Maywood — has taken another step toward running against Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.

The commissioner’s team is now circulating petitions to gather the necessary signatures to run for board president.

Boykin, who has been seriously considering a possible run for that position for several weeks, confirmed that this was the case over the phone on Monday.

Boykin said that his team is circulating petitions for both board president and his own 1st District commission seat, the term for which expires next year.

“We’re circulating both sets — one for the first district and one for board president,” Boykin said. “We’ll make a decision by the end of September. We’re still on track to do that, but I wanted to be prepared for either case.”

Boykin, who has been a vocal critic of numerous Preckwinkle-led initiatives — most notably the unpopular penny per ounce sweetened beverage tax — said that he’s been encouraged by several polls indicating the board president’s political weakness.

Boykin added, however, that he’s still looking for a third-party poll showing how he’d perform in a head-to-head match-up with the incumbent board president.

According to a We Ask America poll, released earlier this month, 68 percent of the poll’s over 900 respondents disapprove of Preckwinkle’s performance on the job, and

75 percent said that they probably won’t vote for her next year.

“We’re seriously considering a run and we just want to be ready, process-wise, just in case we decide to do it,” Boykin said. “There are a number of things that need to come into focus in the coming weeks for us to do it.”

Boykin said that, when it comes to the beverage tax, “we all ought to be concerned less about politics than about the skyrocketing cost of living driving residents out of the county.”

The first-term commissioner also addressed a Chicago Sun-Times report that quotes an adviser to former New York City mayor and billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg, who the adviser said is ready to spend “whatever it takes” to support politicians who voted for the beverage tax.

In 2012, while he was mayor, Bloomberg passed a measure that would “limit the sales of sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces,” according to a New York Times report. The measure, however, was struck down two years later by the New York State Court of Appeals.

Last month, Bloomberg’s office announced that it was spending $2 million to purchase ads defending Cook County’s sugary beverage tax.

“Residents care less about those ads than what they can afford at the grocery store,” Boykin said. “This is a pocketbook issue.

We’re sending a lot of money into other counties and the state of Indiana, where people are going to buy their sweetened beverages.”

A Loyola-anchored initiative is spreading health in Proviso Proviso Partners for Health hosted a Voices at the Table event in Maywood on Sept. 9

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

On Sept. 9, a few hundred people circulated in and out of the playground of Lexington Elementary School, 415 Lexington St. in Maywood. The school closed in 2015, which made the site of last Saturday’s festivities — what the host organization, Proviso Partners for Health, called Voices at the Table — particularly ironic, like a rose blooming from concrete.

Formed in 2014, PP4H is a coalition of local community groups and institutions that have united to fight against childhood obesity in the western suburbs, particularly Maywood.

Partners include Loyola University Health System, Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, Proviso-Leyden Council for Community Action, Proviso East High School and the Quinn Community Center, among others.

And their collective impact, in just a few years, has literally changed the landscape of Maywood and surrounding suburbs in ways that most residents probably don’t know. At Saturday’s event, many of the people and groups who have been driving those changes were out on full display.

“We realized that there are a lot of initiatives in Maywood and we have community members who are part of PP4H, but we still don’t always know how the community feels about things,” said Shanika Blanton, a PP4H member who organized Voices at the Table along with Gabriel Lira, the director of the Quinn Community

PP4H affiliate.

The Proviso Giving Garden, as PP4H has called it, could be the first of its kind in Proviso. Epps said he has a goal to plant at least a dozen more in surrounding suburbs, including Bellwood and Broadview. Already, he and his colleagues have secured deals to sell the produce to small grocery stores in Maywood, Forest Park and Oak Park.

“We’re trying to figure out ways to make the garden financially sustainable after the grant money runs out,” said PP4H member Loretta Brown, who is also a member of Maywood’s Environmental and Beautification Commission.

Just a few tables away from Epps and Brown, Lesli Vaughn, of the Respiratory Health Michael Romain/VFP Association, stood ready to LET’S MOVE: Attendees at the Sept. 9 Voices at the Taexplain her roughly year-long effort, in partnership with PP4H, ble event, sponsored by PP4H, get active with dance. to raise the minimum tobacco age from 18 to 21 in Maywood. In community organizations and entities represented at various tables spread along May, the Maywood Board of Trustees voted the playground’s perimeter — each table unanimously on the measure.

“Now, we’re focusing on Bellwood,” symbolic of some milestone that has been achieved since PP4H’s 2014 founding and, Vaughn said. “The goal, ultimately, is to get particularly, since the organization received a similar ordinance passed in Bellwood and Melrose Park.” a $2.5 million grant from Trinity Health.

A few tables to the south of Vaughn, Sue At one table stood Chris Epps, a full-time gardener whose position is funded through Flanagan, a retired District 89 administrator, the Trinity grant. This year, Epps has grown and Ann Andreoni, a nursing professor somewhere around 4,000 pounds of organic at Loyola, spoke about their efforts to get produce on a plot the size of a typical students in the district more active.

Flanagan said that PP4H has also backyard that’s located on Madison St. in Maywood, across from Proviso East High spurred some changes at D89, including the School and adjacent ReUse Depot — also a installation of new playground equipment Center in Maywood.

“There’s so much good happening in Maywood, we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we could have an event that allows us to get the voice of the community? And then, if people are interested in something going forward, we’ll have the information for them so that it’s not just a one-day event.”

There were at least a dozen different

and the implementation of healthy curriculum throughout the district.

“The goal for us is to provide the community what it wants in terms of health,” said Andreoni. “What do community members think we need to do to make the community healthier?”

A few tables to the north of Andreoni and Flanagan, Sandra Gates and Carolyn Johnson sat ready to explain their Adopt A Park program. The two women are members of PP4H’s built environment subcommittee and are looking to get residents involved in their attempts to revive Maywood’s parks.

“We’re trying to get people more active,” Johnson said. “A lot of the young people aren’t healthy. We want them to start utilizing our parks.”

And that’s no minor goal, according to Mary Crisostomo, a clinical director and pediatric nurse practitioner for the Pediatric Obesity Clinic at Loyola. The collective efforts of PP4H and its numerous partners could mean the difference between sickness and health for a lot of young people in Maywood and other suburbs in Proviso Township.

“One out of every two sixth-graders in District 89 is overweight or obese,” Crisostomo said. “The national average is one out of three. That’s important, because it’s not about how you look. It’s about liver disease and high cholesterol—things that I treat in my clinic that these kids already have because of unhealthy weight. I have eight-year-olds from this community with liver disease.”

National Suicide Prevention Month Coping with suicide is one of the most difficult situations we as a community will face. It raises a lot of strong feelings that can paralyze us. While none of us can prevent suicide 100% of the time, there are things we can do that can prevent suicide much of the time. Most attempts are preceded by warning signs. Knowing what these are, knowing your unique situation, and having your own crisis plan can help you be prepared.

Know the Warning Signs      



Talking about wanting to die or to kill oneself.

Looking for a way to kill oneself, such as searching online or buying a gun.

Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live.

Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain.

Talking about being a burden to others.

Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs.

Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly.
