Can Maywood be an arts hub?

Leaders pushing to attract live/work artistic space say: ‘The time is now’

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A group of community leaders and arts advocates in the Proviso Township area want Maywood to become an artistic hub that will attract creatives in all genres and media to the village. The anchor of that plan? The construction of live-work space for artists.

During a meeting on Sept. 6 at the Maywood Park District, 921 S. 9th Ave. in Maywood, around two dozen people met with representatives from Artspace, a Minnesota-based nonprofit developer that specializes in developing affordable housing for artists, work space, art studios, art centers, galleries and similar spaces around the country.

The meeting was part of a feasibility analysis that the nonprofit has been conducting with a local organizing committee. As part of the informationgathering process, Artspace representatives See ARTSPACE on page 3

Bellwood TIF expires

The C&NW TIF’s end means more money for taxing bodies

By Igor Studenkov Contributing Reporter

The Bellwood Board of Trustees voted unanimously to allow the C&NW Project 2 Tax Increment Financing district to expire during a regular meeting on Sept. 19.

The TIF was established in 1995 for the sole purpose of covering the costs related to a loan necessary to build the second phase of Prairie View Apartments, a senior housing community located at 3428 Georgina Ln. in Bellwood.

Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey said that the vote last week was a mere formality.

The TIF was coming to the end of its 23year lifespan, and would have expired automatically unless the village renewed it.

Peter Tsiolis, Bellwood’s economic development director, said that all of that the little more than $1.05 million the TIF See BELLWOOD TIF on page 7

A big fish in a small pond Bellwood Chamber hosts business and health fair On Thursday, Sept. 20, at Stevenson Park, 3105 Washington Blvd. in Bellwood, the Bellwood Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual small business and health fair, which featured resources for area businesses and entrepreneurs, including free health screenings and professional headshots.

Bellwood resident Connie Riales said that two senior citizens from the Maywood Senior Club were fishing at Stevenson Park in Bellwood over the weekend. What happened next is the hooker: “When I got there, one of the members, Versey Banks, had two men and another member, Odessa Howard, helping her. She was trying to reel in this fish. This bad mama is 30 inches long and weighs over 15 pounds. They had a fishing derby Saturday, but the men said this baby has been in this pond for over three years! It took four of them to bring her out. The guys told me it was a female, because her belly was full of babies and that’s why she was fighting so hard — protecting those babies.”

Gabriel Lara on the power of worker ownership According to a recent New York Times article, “In recent decades, the nation’s tremendous economic growth has not led to broad social uplift.

Economists call it the “productivity-pay gap” — the fact that over the last 40 years, the economy has expanded and corporate profits have risen, but real wages have remained flat for workers without a college education.

“Since 1973, American productivity has increased by 77 percent, while hourly pay has grown by only 12 percent. If the federal minimum wage tracked productivity, it would be more than $20 an hour, not today’s poverty wage of $7.25.”

During a Sept. 5 trip to the Giving Garden in Maywood by some rural farmers — they came as guests of state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th), who the farmers adopted as part of the Illinois Farm Bureau’s Adopt-ALegislator program — Gabriel Lara explained what might be an antidote to the productivity-pay gap.

“The idea,” Lara explained, “is to create a structure so that we can own the jobs.”

Lara, a member of the Food Justice Hub —an initiative of the nonprofit Proviso Partners for Health — said that the Hub helped to create a worker-owned cooperative that grew from a group of women helping out in a local food pantry.

Lara and others with Proviso Partners for Health helped the women secure a food and sanitation license and even provided them with a food source — the Proviso Giving Garden’s freshly grown organic produce.

The women are now co-owners of their own catering business — the Maywood-based Living La Fiesta Catering Co-op.

Area students, Lara said, have even honed their video and photography skills to help market various Food Justice Hub initiatives — which include the creation of two worker-owned cooperatives and 14 “worker-owners” to date.

“The idea is to be able to have people in the community take ownership of the economy,” Lara said, adding that he looks to national examples, such as the Cleveland Model, for inspiration.

In the Cleveland Model, which was launched in 2008, a group of organizations, the city of Cleveland and the city’s major employers, such as hospitals and universities, collaborated to form an economic ecosystem based on worker-owned enterprises.

The first enterprise created by the model was the Evergreen Cooperative Laundry, a large commercial laundry headquartered in Cleveland that is completely worker-owned — which means that the employees share in the company’s profits and have a real stake in decision-making.

The main thrust behind the success of these worker-owned enterprises, Lara said, is that jobs are created based on what people need.

“We want to create something that is modeled and shaped to the needs of the community,” he said.

members say they need.

Marwah said that after the meeting, Artspace officials would create a report based on their analysis and that, “if everything looks to be a good fit,” would then develop a market study, which includes a quantitative analysis phase wherein they “survey artists’ needs and ask them what they want to pay for space and what type of space they’re interested in.”

Marwah said that they pull artists within “about a 50-mile radius from Chicago,” including from the South Suburbs and places further west of Maywood. There needs to be at least three artists within that radius expressing interest for every

Is it possible? from page 1 met earlier this month with a group of local artists, as well as with local elected officials.

Wendy Holmes, a senior vice president for Artspace, said during a brief presentation at the Sept. 6 meeting that the nonprofit — which was founded in 1979 — has about 50 projects in development across the country, including 37 cities and 23 states.

Some of those projects are located in Illinois, including the Elgin Artspace Lofts and the Pullman Artspace Lofts.

The Elgin project is a $15.2 million renovation of a historic Sears building that includes the creation of nearly 6,000 square feet of retail and community space for “arts-friendly business and nonprofits organizations,” and 55 units of affordable live/work space for artists and their families, according to the project’s website.

In Chicago’s Pullman neighborhood, Artspace is in the process of turning approximately 18,500 square feet of vacant land “book-ended by two historic apartment buildings” into an $18 million development that includes 38 affordable live/work artist units, exhibition space and community space.

Holmes said that the projects are typically funded and financed through public/private partnerships, which are collaborations between government bodies and businesses, philanthropic organizations, individuals and other entities. Wintrust Bank, the parent company of Proviso Community Bank, co-sponsored the meeting in Maywood and is funding the feasibility study.

Some sources of funding for Artspace projects include tax credits related to preserving and restoring historically significant structures.

Holmes added that not all Artspace projects entail renovating historic buildings.

Some projects involve new construction or even a combination of historic preservation and new construction. While in Maywood, Artspace representatives toured six potential sites in the village, which were not disclosed during the Sept. 6 meeting.

In order to qualify for live/work space

in Artspace projects, individuals have to earn less than a designated income level and they must demonstrate that they’re artists by presenting a body of prior work, among other criteria. Interested applicants must also undergo interviews and there’s typically a waiting list.

During the public meeting, most of the people who spoke said that there is an urgent need for an Artspace project in Maywood.

Eddie Hudson, a Maywood painter, said that he would love to see a space where artists can store equipment.

“I know for me, a lot of times I have to go outside to varnish painting and the scent is so strong I literally can’t take it back into the house for hours,” he said. “We need a large space with equipment we can have available.”

Loretta Brown, a member of Maywood’s environmental and beautification commission, said there’s a need for a “space where artists can display their work that also has a coffee shop.”

Maywood resident Eileen Olivier said that she would like to see a space in the village dedicated to live theater.

“We have a lot of talent in Maywood,” Olivier said. “We can also use a children’s museum-type space that would be interactive and that they would enjoy.”

Other attendees called for space dedicated to allowing artists and other entrepreneurs to utilize pop-up shops, with short-term leases. They also called for a space with a community kitchen, in addition to other spaces based on the concept of adaptive reuse.

Aneesha Marwah, a manager with

Artspace, said that “when we say artist, we don’t just mean visual artists,” adding that an artists’ development is for creatives in all kinds of artistic fields, including filmmaking and musical composition.

Police chiefs, legislator visit Maywood preschool The officials are urging the state to increase funding for preschool programs

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Two area police chiefs and a state legislator recently visited a prekindergarten class in Maywood in order to read to students and show their support for additional preschool funding.

Maywood Police Chief Valdimir Talley and Forest Park Police Chief Tom Aftanas joined together with state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th) on Sept. 17 in reading to a classroom of preschoolers at Washington Dual Language Academy, 1111 Washington Blvd. in Maywood.

According to a statement released by Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Illinois, an anti-crime nonprofit whose membership includes Talley and Aftanas, among other law enforcement officials across the state, the chiefs strongly support increasing the Illinois State Board of Education’s Early Childhood Block Grant for the 2020 fiscal year by $50 million.

Welch is a strong supporter of the funding boost, which Fight Crime noted would “allow for essential quality improvements and expansion of full-day slots available for children in need.”

“The state has heavily invested

Welch (seated left center), also read to students. in the District’s Preschool for A l l program because it’s been proven that preschool cuts crime,” Welch noted in a statement.

Fight Crime referenced a study that tracked at-risk children who attended Perry Preschool in Michigan and “similar children who did not.”

According to the study, by “the age of 27, non-participants were five times more likely to have been arrested for drug felonies and twice as likely as former preschool students to have been arrested for violent crimes.

By age 40, non-participants were 85 percent more likely than their preschool peers to have been sentenced to prison or jail.”

Another study, similar to the Michigan one, found that kids left out of publicly funded Child-Parent Centers in Chicago “were 27 percent more likely to have been arrested by age 28 than those who had participated.”

As a result of a $50 million boost in the Early Childhood Block Grant for the 2019 fiscal year, Maywood-Melrose ParkBroadview Elementary Schools District 89 received $1.2 million, which allowed the

district to increase the number of 3- and 4-year-old students in the preschool program from 160 to 148.

“The children in this building are the future of our communities,” said Talley.

“The skills they are learning in these classrooms are what they will need to grow up to be law-abiding adults.”

Aftanas said that the “best way to keep our streets safe is to ensure that today’s children do not grow up to become tomorrow’s crime statistics.”

NEWS briefs Maywood gives go-ahead for second gaming bistro to open A second gaming bistro is likely to open in Maywood after the Board of Trustees recently voted to grant the establishment the liquor license that is virtually a prerequisite for the businesses to operate.

During a regular meeting on Sept. 18, the board voted 5 to 1 in favor of granting the Class M video gaming/bistro liquor license to Lucky Bernie’s — a deli that would also feature beer, wine and video gambling.

Trustee Isiah Brandon was the sole dissenting vote while Trustee Ron Rivers was absent.

The store, which would be located inside of a vacant storefront unit at 608-22 S. 5th Ave. in Maywood, will be the second gaming bistro in the village if all goes according to the plans of owner Ramzey Fakhouri, who also owns the strip mall.

In August, the board voted 6 to 1 to lift a moratorium on Class M liquor licenses that had been in place since December 2016.

Brandon voted against that measure as well.

The moratorium on the issuance of Class M liquor licenses came months after 56 percent of Maywood voters in the November 2016 election voted in favor of banning the licenses in a non-binding referendum.

The board instituted the ban after it had already approved the issuance of a Class M liquor license to Lacey’s Place, a video gaming establishment at 611 W. Roosevelt Rd., in March 2016.

In his application, Fakhouri had requested that the board also grant him extended hours.

He had wanted the deli and gaming bistro to be open until 2 a.m., beyond the 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. hours of operation within the ordinance.

The board did not grant him that request.

From now on, village officials said, any additional Class M licenses for video gaming bistros will only be granted on a case-by-case basis.

Maywood officer promoted to sergeant Just after acknowledging Hispanic Heritage Month during a Sept. 18 regular board meeting, Maywood Police Chief Valdimir Talley announced the promotion of a Hispanic police officer in Maywood to the position of sergeant.

The Maywood Police Department conducted a brief pomp and circumstance ceremony for Officer Ramon Ochoa, who was promoted to sergeant through the Board of Fire and Police Commission.

Ochoa was sworn in by Board of Fire and

Police Commissioners Readith Ester and Gloria Clay.

Teen previously located in Maywood is missing As of Sept. 23, the Lake County Sheriff ’s Office was looking for a missing teenager who was previously located in Maywood.

Alexandra Kobus was last seen leaving a Walmart in Gurnee on Sept. 20, at around 4:45 a.m., the sheriff ’s office said in a statement posted to its Facebook account.

Surveillance images of the teenager show her exiting the store with a woman who the sheriff ’s office confirmed is not related to the incident.

“Alexandra is 13 years old, 5’8, approximately 170 pounds,” the Lake County Sheriff ’s office explained.

“She has light brown/red hair and brown eyes. Alexandra was last seen wearing a black/white Adidas jacket, a red Bulls shirt, ripped jeans, and black/white Nike shoes. She had a brown Michael Kors backpack.”

The sheriff ’s office is asking anyone

with information on the incident, or who recognizes Kobus, to contact its Criminal Investigations Division at (847) 549-5200.

West’s freshman football team notches first win in years Sole victory so far this season gives program jolt headed into homecoming week

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The entire Proviso West football program heads into homecoming week empowered by the program’s single win, which the freshman team pulled off at Morton High School in Cicero on Sept. 11, defeating the Mustangs 14-0 That win has been a lesson for the young up-andcomers, and for the sophomore and varsity teams as well, said freshman coach Raimundo Howard during a recent interview.

“That win reflected a lot of confidence in the present crop of kids,” Howard said. “They stuck together and have been learning to stay positive while handling adversity.”

Howard said that, according to some assistant coaches on the freshman team, the Sept. 11 win was the first for the freshmen in around five years.

This season (as of Sept. 23), the freshmen are 1-4 while the sophomore team is 0-4 and the varsity team is 0-5.

In recent years, West football teams have been among their most competitive against Morton. Before falling to Morton 48-26 on Sept. 1, the varsity team defeated the Mustangs 3418 during the 2017-18 season. The sophomore team narrowly lost to Morton 14-12 on Aug. 31.

Howard said that the Sept. 11 win could also signal a change in the program’s long-term fortunes.

“This is about belief and the kids having faith in themselves,” Howard said. “We were already planting a seed in them that anything is possible and that they can do it.

Things are starting to change right now. The kids understand that winning takes a team effort.”

Considering that they possess the program’s only victory so far this season, the freshmen team must feel pretty special.

“They do feel pretty special right now,” Howard said.

All three teams in West’s football program will need to channel that pride of accomplishment into the school’s

homecoming week, when all three face perennial powerhouse Hinsdale Central High School.

The freshman team plays on Thursday, Sept. 27, 5 p.m., while the sophomore and varsity teams play Saturday, Sept.

29, 10 a.m. (sophomore) and 1 p.m. (varsity). All games are at home.

BELLWOOD TIF Purpose complete from page 1 collected as of 2017 went to Prairie Viewrelated costs, so “there was no surplus.”

He said that with the project completed, there was no need to keep the TIF going.

Letting it expire, he said, was a “win-win” for all of the taxing bodies involved.

Tsiolis said that the tax revenue that has been going into the TIF for the past 23 years, however, will now start going to the village, the park district, the library district and other local taxing bodies. Assuming the tax rates wouldn’t decrease significantly next year, that could mean that, collectively, they would get at least $42,000 more.

When a TIF is created, the amount of money taxing bodies collect is frozen. And when taxes increase, the extra money that would normally go to the taxing bodies gets deposited into the fund.

Bellwood currently has eight TIFs, which, collectively, cover nearly half of the village’s total square footage. C&NW Project 2 was smaller than most of them, covering the section of Illinois Prairie Path trail between Bellwood Avenue and Mannheim Road, as well as most of Georgina Lane directly north of it — the area where the second phase of Prairie View was built.

Village Free Press | September 26, 2018 The Northwest Railroad TIF, which expired in 2017, covers the first phase, which was built directly east of it, between Bellwood and Eastern Avenues.

According to a 2017 TIF report prepared

by Cook County Clerk David Orr — the most recent report available — as of the end of last year, the C&NW Project 2 TIF collected a total of around $1 million. A little more than $42,000 was collected in 2017.

At Englewood Estates, three of the planned five homes have been built and sold. The remaining two took longer due to the fact that they are located on Bellwood side of the Bellwood/Hillside border and Bellwood officials wanted to make sure that there were no issues with their neighbors before construction starts. The village board approved the construction contracts during its April 18 meeting.

According to the same report, the Northwest Railroad TIF wound up collecting a total of $1.6 million, around $76,000 of which was collected in 2016, its final year of operation.

Even with the expiration, the amount of money sitting in Bellwood TIF funds is substantial. According to the 2017 report, all TIFs active at the time collected around $2 million in 2017 alone. When taking the C&NW TIF out of the equation, all of the remaining TIFs have collected a total of $6 million.

Bellwood plans to keep building homes as another home is sold The two homes the village of Bellwood is building near Englewood Avenue and Butterfield Road aren’t finished yet, but one of them has already found a buyer and the village is optimistic that the other buyer will be found before long.

The Bellwood Board of Trustees unanimously approved the sale during its Sept. 19 regular meeting.

After the meeting, Harvey said that the village plans to build more homes near the intersection of St. Charles Rd. and 49th Street once the construction is complete.

Harvey said that the village envisions a plan to keep building homes down the road, but he didn’t have any more details about the plan yet.

“Once these two are done, we’re going to build two more at St. Charles [Road] and 49th [Avenue],” he said. “And we have a vision to do more.”

The two homes are part of Engelwood Estates, one of three residential developments the village has been building since 2012. The developments, which include Englewood Estates, Bellwood Estates and Randolph Estates, are part of the government’s effort to provide current and prospective residents with larger housing options.

All homes in the Bellwood Estates have already been built and sold, as have all 12 houses in Randolph Estates, village officials said.

According to Crain’s Chicago Business, all of this construction helped raise Bellwood median home prices. During the first quarter of 2018, the median home price in the village was $163,000 — up roughly 33 percent, from $123,000 in 2017.

During the Sept. 19 meeting, Trustee Jophelia Boston reported that both houses are “50 percent complete,” and there was already an offer for the one located at 517 Englewood Avenue.

Work on $110M Bellwood detention pond to start soon Mayor Harvey said that construction bids have went out, work to start in several weeks

By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Construction on a long-anticipated reservoir north of Washington Boulevard, near Addison Creek, in Bellwood, could start within the next several weeks, according to Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey.

During a regular meeting on Sept. 19, the Bellwood Board of Trustees unanimously approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago to maintain the reservoir.

At that meeting, Harvey said that construction work on the project is currently going out for bid. The village could choose a bidder by the end of September, with construction scheduled to start shortly afterward.

Harvey added that, as of Sept. 19, most of the demolition necessary for the reservoir had been completed, with only some minor work still to be done.

The mayor said that he expected the reservoir to be finished “18 to 24 months” from when construction on the 600-foot reservoir begins. Construction is projected to cost around $110 million, according to the reclamation district.

Once the reservoir is complete, the reclamation district will work on a series of “channel improvements” to the creek and its banks that is expected to cost around $48 million. In Bellwood, those improvements will include rebuilding the walls and removing three bridges along the spot where the creek parallels Eisenhower Expressway.

Village of Bellwood

OUT FROM THE FLOODPLAIN: The site of the Addison Creek reservoir in Bellwood, which is projected to cost $110 million. Construction is expected to start sometime shortly after bids are finalized in late September.

According to the reclamation district, construction contracts aren’t expected to be awarded until summer 2019 at the earliest, and construction related to those additional improvements won’t be finished until at least 2021.

The detention pond is one of the two measures that aim to address flooding along the creek, which is a longstanding issue in Bellwood. Harvey said that Bellwood has 900 homes on the flood plain. He said that, after the pond is constructed, 800 homes will no longer be flooded, and the property owners for remaining 100 homes will see their insurance premiums reduced.

Flooding has also been an ongoing issue in other communities through which Addison Creek flows, including Northlake, Stone Park, Melrose Park, Broadview and Westchester.

The reclamation district began planning a solution in 2011. While it originally considered putting a reservoir in Melrose Park, issues with property ownership, among challenges, led it to consider an alternative site.

Aside from the properties in Bellwood, two properties will be removed from the flood plain in Broadview, 218 in Melrose Park and 183 in Stone Park. According to the water reclamation project document, a total of 1,707 structures will be protected from flooding.
