Triton midmanagers OK strike The workers were still negotiating with college as of Oct. 20

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

More than 50 mid-managers at Triton College came a step closer to walking out after they voted overwhelmingly for their union to authorize a strike if negotiations with the college’s board and administration fall apart. The negotiations are currently in mediation.

During a regular board meeting on Oct. 15, Kay Frey, the president of the MidManagement Association, said that 80 percent of the 53-person union — which represents 63 mid-managers, including health services directors, assistance finance directors and career services directors — voted in favor of the strike authorization. The mid-managers’ contract expired on June 30.

Talks between the college’s three-person negotiating team and the union have been tense since August. The workers have staged at least three mass action protests.

VILLAGE people

Carmen Rivera, Maywood’s new community liaison, wants to build bridges What may people not know about you?

Carmen Rivera, the village’s new community resource liaison, took a brief moment out of her time during a community event on Oct. 19 to tell the community about her job and vision for the place she now considers a second home.

I’m a little rough around the edges, which i think is a good thing. I grew up in an area of Chicago that was really rough. I remember seeing friends die at an early age and it being hard to just go outside. Maywood is not that. Maywood has different obstacles for children and residents.

I want to use my experiences to be able to see these kids play outside and enjoy their youth, and for residents to thrive and build the economy here. That’s what I bring.

I have a real desire to help people.

When did you start the job and what’s your function?

I started Aug. 19. My responsibility is to build a bridge between the police and the village residents, and to connect with organizations and schools. I try to look for information that will help residents — anything from identifying food pantries to furniture donations. I try to facilitate that dialogue between residents, the police and village officials.

How can residents contact you?

What’s been your favorite aspect of working in Maywood?

The people are so welcoming and so kind.

They’re happy to help and guide me to where I need to go and the places I need to be. They give me information. They’ve been awesome.

CARMEN RIVERA

You can find me at the Maywood Police Department (125 S. 5th Ave. in Maywood), but a lot of times I’m roaming around the village.

I’m at a lot of events. They can also contact me via email at: crivera@maywoodpolice-il. org, or on social media. I’ve created Twitter and Instagram accounts for the department, and manage the department’s Facebook page.

Lindop’s ‘Men of Distinction’ event a lesson in parenting

The Oct. 11 event, school’s first-ever, alerts dads to 21st century threats, tools for monitoring children

By SHANEL ROMAIN Contributor

Around 30 men gathered in the gymnasium at Lindop Elementary School, 2400 18th Ave. in Broadview, on Oct. 11, for the school’s first-ever Men of Distinction event.

“The idea came about from our superintendent [Janiece Jackson], who did a similar event at another district and wanted to bring it here,” said John Knobbe, Lindop’s assistant principal.

A major theme of the day was how to monitor children, particularly on social media. The morning’s keynote speaker, Dwayne Bryant, said that he had recently graduated from the FBI’s Citizens Academy — a six- to eight-week program that gives “business, religious, civic, and community leaders an inside look at the FBI,” according to the agency’s website. What Bryant learned, he said, shocked him.

“There are pedophiles, dads, who are doing whatever they can do to get to your kid,” Bryant said. “They’re on social media pretending to be their friends. They’re watching them at the park. There are grown men’s clubs [abusing babies]. This world is sick. It is nasty and a lot of us have no clue

TRITON STRIKE Tension high from page 1 On Aug. 22, for instance, around 100 workers presented petitions to Triton College President Mary-Rita Moore.

At the time, the mid-managers were protesting alongside the more than 130 classified employees — including financial aid specialists, catalogers, account clerks and library specialists. Those classified employees are represented by a different bargaining unit and have a contract separate from the mid-managers.

Charles Harper, a field director for Cook County College Teachers Union Local 1600, which has been bargaining on behalf of both the classified employees and the midmanagers, said on Oct. 15 that the classified employees’ contract was ratified roughly three weeks ago.

“They are not offering to pay midmanagers retroactively,” said Tony Johnston, the president of the Cook County College Teachers Union, said after Tuesday’s board meeting. “They are currently offering to pay classifieds back to Sept. 9, when they had their tentative agreement in place. And they are not asking for extra hours and extra work days from the classifieds. They are asking that from the mid-managers.”

just how sick and nasty it is.”

In an interview after his address, Bryant said that he wanted to alert the dads about methods and tools “so they can be able to help their children navigate toward success, because there are so many influences in the community.”

Steven Hill, who has two grandchildren at Lindop, said that the event enlightened him enough to tell others about what he learned.

“This was a very informative presentation,” Hill said. “A lot of things are going on in the world that we don’t pay attention to, but our kids are exposed to. I’m thankful, because this gave me an eye into a world that is preying on our kids and we don’t even know it. It also gave me the tools to monitor the activity of my grandchildren, nieces and nephews. I’ll pass the information onto my kids, too.”

“Today was great,” said Larry Love. “More than our kids, legacy is about far more than what we leave behind; it’s a blueprint of how we live and today was a great example of that.”

Back in August, Harper said that the administration is asking the workers to “sell pieces of their contract and their time” for a 4-percent pay raise — something that’s still a sticking point, union representatives said.

“They’re acting as if they stopped doing the work,” said Harper, who explained that the mid-managers are demanding to be paid retroactively back to July 1, when their tentative contract took effect.

“We already put in 40 hours a week and some of us put in a lot more than that,” said Frey. “Now, they want to add to that 16 extra hours. They’re asking for us to do more.”

Frey said that 19 mid-managers have left Triton since the beginning of the year.

“And we have two more months to go,” she said, before adding that only three of them retired. “They’re going off and finding higher paying jobs.”

The union officials have also argued that the pay raises they’r requesting pale in comparison to the 14- to 20-percent pay raises they said administrators have received in the past. Harper said in August that during the last round of contract negotiations, administrators told the two groups of employees “to be team players and take less of a raise,” because of massive budget cuts to community college funding made under former Gov. Bruce Rauner.

“Now that the state has committed to restoring funding to community colleges, the administration is not recognizing [the

employees’ sacrifice],” Harper said.

Mark Stephens, the chairperson of Triton’s Board of Trustees, said during Tuesday’s meeting that the board and administration “has always stood by the employees and stood up for them.” As an example, he said that the college set aside $11 million, from a $57 million bond issue, to put into operating funds during Rauner’s tenure as governor — a measure that staved off mass layoffs, Stephens said.

“There were mass layoffs all over this state,” he said. “We didn’t have that at Triton. I am 1,000 percent comfortable with telling you we support our employees, but — with all due respect to our employees — we don’t exist for the employees, we exist for the students and the people who pay taxes in this district.”

After negotiations between the two sides fell apart, union officials requested an independent arbitrator, who was eventually appointed by the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board, Harper said.

Sean Sullivan, Triton’s vice president of business services who is the college’s lead negotiator, said he thought that the two sides were progressing.

“We had three sessions with mediation,” said Sullivan said on Oct. 15. “I thought we made progress. There was movement on both sides, but they decided that mediation was not for them and they’d want to abandon it. They don’t see the need to have a mediator

there, anymore.”

“We told Triton we thought we could get an agreement without the mediator, even though we originally called for mediation,” Johnston said. “It was a necessary step, which they at first didn’t agree to. But the mediator was basically incompetent.

He didn’t communicate correctly the proposal we’d given him to take to the administration.”

Both sides have said that they’re nonetheless working to get back to the negotiating table. Johnston said that if talks break down even further, the union will set a strike deadline.

Frey, who said that she’s worked at Triton for 32 years, could not recall a time during her tenure when employees went on strike.

Johnston said that, even though the classified workers aren’t by their side, “we can still have a successful strike with the mid-managers,” adding that mid-managers “do key work and are usually the only ones that do their work in every department. So, for example, in case of a strike, there’d be serious disruption of registration, advising, student services, IT, etc.”

Stephens, however, seemed undeterred.

“I hope this gets resolve, but if it doesn’t, trust me, we will serve our students,” he said. “There will be no missing a beat.”

Broadview Zoning Board OKs cannabis regulations Board votes to recommend that village’s Board of Trustees limit number of cannabis dispensaries, processors in town

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a regular meeting on Oct. 15, the Broadview Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend that the Broadview Board of Trustees amend the village’s zoning ordinance regarding recreational cannabis business establishment uses within the village.

During Tuesday’s meeting, David Upshaw, Broadview’s building commissioner and zoning administrator, said that the plan is to limit the number of areas where recreational cannabis dispensaries are allowed to locate in Broadview to two — the Roosevelt Road corridor and Broadview Village Square.

Upshaw said whether or not dispensaries are allowed in the latter location, which is privately owned, depends on whatever real estate arrangements are in place. For instance, the retail area may have certain property covenants that may prohibit the presence of dispensaries.

The Zoning Board also unanimously voted to recommend that the Broadview Board of Trustees amend the village’s zoning ordinance map to create an overlay

district that would allow for the operation of non-dispensing cannabis business establishments, such as cultivation centers.

The overlay district would be for the area between 25th Avenue and 17th Avenue to the east and west, and between the railroad tracks and Cermak Avenue to the north and south. The area is currently zoned for office and industrial establishments.

The Zoning Board’s stamp of approval is only a preliminary step. The final decision about whether or not dispensing and nondispensing establishments will be allowed to locate in the village will ultimately be made by the village board, but not before multiple public meetings are held to collect feedback from residents and other community stakeholders, Upshaw said.

The zoning board’s vote is designed to make sure that Broadview is getting out in front of what has been a fast-moving development. Recreational cannabis will be legal in Illinois for residents over the age of 21 starting Jan. 1, 2020. Municipalities are allowed to opt-in or opt-out of the state mandate. By opting out, municipalities would effectively ban cannabis-related businesses from setting up within their

borders.

“I get about maybe five to seven calls a week regarding the village’s stance,” Upshaw said. “Are we opting in or out?

That’s not for me to say. My job as zoning coordinator is to be proactive so we don’t have an excess of anything.”

Upshaw said that Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson asked him earlier this year to get ahead of the issue of cannabis legalization. The zoning coordinator said that he’s traveled to three states where recreational cannabis is legal — Colorado, Nevada and California. Some of those places were cautionary tales, he added.

“In my opinion, some of those areas are very saturated [with cannabis dispensaries],” he said. “The licenses were granted and they didn’t really have any ordinances or anything in place. In Colorado, in a radius of two blocks, there were probably like 10 facilities. The goal [in Broadview] is to limit the number of facilities in the village and to take a look at the cultivation issue, so that is why I submitted the zoning application to the [zoning board] for recommendation.”

Roughly 10 people attended Tuesday’s Zoning Board meeting. Among the three

or four people who spoke during public comment, only one person — a Broadview businessman who requested anonymity — registered disagreement with the proposed zoning changes.

“My office is across from Broadview Village Square and I’ve seen a number of safety concerns,” the man said, adding that he believes a marijuana dispensary will only exacerbate those concerns.

Another Broadview businessman, who said that he owns an establishment within the area where the proposed cannabis overlay district would be located, said he had concerns about how the zoning changes might affect his property taxes. When he was told that he may benefit from the prospect of more taxpaying businesses coming into town, he warmed to the proposed zoning changes.

Upshaw explained that the village has at least two public meetings on recreational cannabis tentatively planned for November, but the specific dates, times and locations of the meetings are still to be determined. For updates, visit broadview-il.gov/.

Area guitar store to appear in final season of ‘Empire’ Episode of hit TV show filmed on Madison Street in Forest Park

By MARIA MAXHAM Forest Park Review

Forest Park was a hot spot for celebrity sightings on Oct. 9 as cast and crew from the Fox television show Empire, now in its final season, filmed an episode at Danche Guitars on Madison Street. No parking was allowed on the south side of the 7200 block of Madison Street as trucks and equipment were staged there. The Park District of Forest Park hosted cast trailers, parked behind the playground and skate park on Harrison Street, for the actors to use between and after filming.

Store owner Ivanovic Danche said he was surprised when a representative from the show’s location department came by about 10 days before filming began and asked to take photos of his store. He was even more shocked when the representative called the next day to ask if Empire could film there.

The show’s location scouts, Danche said, looked at over 40 guitar shops in the Chicago area to find one “with the right soul that felt comfortable.” They settled on Danche’s shop at 7232 Madison St. The name of the fictional shop in the show is “Moishe’s Music Shop,” and he plans to leave the decaled name on his window for at least a few days.

The experience was exciting, he said, and everyone on the Empire staff was

“Terrence Howard was really nice,” they well trained, polite and cleaned up after themselves. Danche lives above his store, said. “He saw us taking pictures through so he came down several times to watch the filming. The actors were friendly. In total, the Empire crew and cast spent about 14 hours inside his store. Two of the crew members bought guitars from him.

He enjoyed meeting some of the cast members, including Terrence Howard, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee and winner of the BET Best Actor Award in 2015 for his role on Empire.

Danche also got a kick out of meeting the actor who plays the owner of Moishe’s Music Shop.

Next door store owners at Escape Factor, Supplied Jonathon Biag and Dexter Cura, also found CAMEO: Terrence Howard, the star of “Empire,” poses with Ivathe activity on Madison novic Danche inside Danche’s guitar store, where an episode of the show was filmed on Oct. 9.

Street exciting.

our window, and he gestured for us to come outside for a photo with him.”

Danche is himself no stranger to being in front of the camera. He’s been in several documentaries about luthiers and musicians, including one by WTTW Chicago about eight years ago. Those shows, he said, had a fraction of the people and equipment that the Empire production did.

Danche opened his store in Forest Park about fours ago, moving from his previous location in Oak Park. He said he loves his job, which includes selling and repairing guitars and giving guitar lessons. He also teaches one-on-one guitar-building classes.

“People have a dream,” he said. “I can help them achieve it.” He also enjoys talking to customers and “making people happy.”

“An old man came in once with a broken Martin,” Danche recounted. “He was crying because he had the guitar for 60 or 70 years.

It was very important to him, very special. I did the best repair I could. It was so good you couldn’t even tell it had been broken. When the man came back to pick up his guitar, he cried again, but this time out of happiness.”

Interactions like this, he said, feeds his passion for his business.

Proviso East clinches playoff spot with 14-8 win Pirates headed to playoff for first time in 20 years after win against rival West

By LAUREN RECCHIA Contributing Reporter

The wait is over for the Proviso East Pirates, as they secured an IHSA state playoff spot for the fi rst time in 20 years with a win over rival Proviso West.

The Pirates (6-2, 5-2) came out on top over the Proviso West Panthers 14-8 Friday night at Proviso East. With the score knotted at 8 with 2:04 left to play in the third quarter, sophomore quarterback Nashon Johnson connected with senior Devin Lee on an 11yard touchdown pass to the right corner of the endzone to give the Pirates the winning score and secure their playoff berth.

“It means a lot to us,” said senior running back Kenyatta Walker. “It shows that if we do what our coaches put in place and put in the hard work; we can do anything.”

Walker tallied 220 yards on 15 carries with a touchdown, including a fi ve-yard touchdown run to the left with 1:07 to play in the half to put his team up 8-0. Johnson fi nished the night with 120 passing yards, while Lee finished with 50 all-purpose yards and five tackles. The defense put up a stellar effort, as senior linebacker Justin Harris notched a safety early to start the scoring for the Pirates to go along with a sack, and senior Jamion Williams had four sacks.

“We have hitters on every position,” Walker said. “It’s not about stopping one player, we used all that talk as

motivation to come in and do what people said we’d have a hard time doing.”

For the Panthers (0-8, 0-7), junior running back Brandon Smith shined for the offense, as he put his team on the board with a 70yard run to the left with 11:45 to go in the second quarter. Senior quarterback Kyshun Robinson then connected with Smith on a pass up the middle for the two-point conversion to tie the game at 8.

“We came out and we knew we had to come up with something spectacular,” Smith said.

“We knew we could pull off that reverse play and it took off from there.”

Proviso East had lost the last 11 meetings between these two teams, which made the victory that much more special.

“It was a big game to me,” Walker said.

“Not only because of senior night, but because of the history of Proviso East and Proviso West. Full stands on both sides, the crowd motivated us. For me to come in and be a part of the team that could win this rivalry game was a big opportunity and I’m

thankful for it.”

“It’s an exciting time for Proviso East,” said Pirates head coach Oliver Speller.

“We’re so excited and there’s so much going on. So many families involved trying to bring back the pride of this school, and we’re overjoyed right now.”

The Panthers kept things close throughout the game, playing with a sense of urgency in the rivalry game, and Smith knows that his team can build from the positives that came out of a close one against a solid Pirate team.

“It’s late in the season, but we finally came together,” Smith said. “This loss was a mental win.”

Walker knows that his Pirates team can carry what they did Friday night into the end of the season and playoffs, because everyone is focused on what’s to come.

“When everyone is locked in with the same goal, it’s hard to beat us.”

Proviso East will finish up the regular season against Willowbrook (7-1) on the road next Friday at 7:30.

VILLAGE perspective Why Maywood needs an intergovernmental assembly “No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.” – H.E. Luccock As a lifelong resident of the village of Maywood, I am proud to say that I have been positively impacted by nearly every taxing body within the village — whether it is the quality education I received from the school district as an elementary student at Washington school, the recreational services provided by the library and park district that kept me out of trouble, or the sense of safety I have always felt being protected by our police force. I have seen firsthand how it takes a village to raise a child, because I was that child who was raised by the Village of Eternal Light. That is why it was an honor to be elected as a village trustee of my hometown.

In August, I spoke about the passion I have for my hometown as the keynote speaker at the Maywood/Proviso Rotary’s luncheon series. At the luncheon, Rotarian Christopher Parker asked the question, “If you had to select one greatest opportunity for Maywood, what would it be?” Recognizing that Maywood is already a resourceful community with so much history, diversity and culture, I believe that our greatest opportunity is to shine light upon its resourcefulness. This can be achieved if we, as a collective community enhance our culture of collaboration throughout the Village of Eternal Light — a collaboration that I had benefited from throughout my life here in Maywood. I believe that this culture of collaboration can be realized through the coordination of an Intergovernmental Assembly.

An Intergovernmental Assembly within our community would consist of numerous officials representing Maywood’s various government taxing bodies. These officials would gather periodically to discuss potential collaborative opportunities and talk about present and future challenges. Meetings would include local elected officials and senior management from Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview District 89, Proviso Township High Schools District 209, the village of Maywood, Proviso Township, Maywood Park District and Maywood Public Library.

The primary mission of an Intergovernmental Assembly would be to identify areas of interest and concern and facilitate community engagement, fostering a dialogue that creates and sustains responsive governance.

Through knowledge sharing and a cul-

ture of collaboration, an Intergovernmental Assembly seeks to inform our community’s understanding of the stewardship and expenditure of tax dollars in efforts to improve the property tax burden.

Three main reasons why an Intergovernmental Assembly is important for Maywood: Fiscal Responsibility: Addressing Maywood’s property taxes is complicated and easily the biggest deterrent to economic development in our community. As local elected officials, we have to identify what is our role in addressing this ocean sized problem. You can’t boil the ocean, however you can break down a big problem into smaller, manageable parts. At the local level, this can be accomplished collaboratively by identifying redundancies or duplicative services, budget review, procurement process review, and assessing contracts and their ability to be renegotiated or scaled.

Rebranding Strategy: When we think about Maywood’s future and how we want to market a rejuvenated, diverse community, we need to have major community stakeholders at the table, including all local governing bodies. A formal platform that creates an environment of sustainable results is essential.

Comprehensive Plan /Strategic Initiatives Re-Evaluations: As it relates to our respective governing bodies’ vision & objectives for the future, it would be ideal to get buy in and awareness across the taxing bodies. The goal would be to leverage the knowledge and experience of Administration & Policy Makers to create collaborative and innovated waves to address issues that intersect our jurisdictions & responsibilities.

This is not to suggest that no intergovernmental bodies exist in Maywood.

For example, we have a joint review board for TIF districts and other ad hoc forums between individuals; however, no assembly exists among Maywood’s local governing bodies that are geared towards the topic of property taxes and other opportunities for coordination and collaboration.

I hope that Maywood’s governing bodies will consider this assembly.

Through robust intergovernmental cooperation, this level of intentional collaboration will increase our ability to be more effective and efficient in the delivery of quality services, so that we can continue to be that vibrant and resourceful Village of Eternal Light.

College athletics is big business, allow student athletes to share the wealth College athletics is a business, a billion-dollar business.

Since 2010, college basketball’s premier tournament, March Madness, has brought and will continue to bring in $19.6 billion in television contracts to the NCAA through the year 2032.

College football is similarly a highly profitable affair. ESPN reached a deal that paid the NCAA over $5 billion for the rights to the college football playoffs and associated bowls from the year 2014 through 2025 — a half-billion dollars annually for six games per year.

That’s roughly $25 billion dollars in revenue, just for postseason games.

Individual conferences also generate billions on regular season television contracts and millions more on ticket sales, jerseys, and other athletic apparel items.

Just last year, the NCAA reached a significant milestone, surpassing one billion dollars in annual revenue for the first time in its history.

Business is booming.

While the NCAA pulls in record levels of cash, coaches at higher education institutions are being handsomely rewarded. Here’s a few of the salaries coaches in Illinois receive: University of Illinois Football Head Coach Lovie Smith ($5 million), Northwestern Football Head Coach Pat Fitzgerald ($3,619,775), University of Illinois Men’s Basketball Head Coach Brad Underwood ($2,755,450).

Lovie Smith even holds the title of highest paid public employee in the entire great state of Illinois. Our state is not an anomaly on this front; in fact, nearly 80 percent of states’ highest paid public employees are head coaches of either football or men’s basketball teams.

As I said, college athletics is big business. Yet, does a single student athlete of any sport receive a dime from the NCAA and its billion dollar a year business model? Nope. Not a single dollar.

And they are prohibited from receiving any form of compensation from using their own likeness or image to endorse or sponsor any business or product.

While cash flows into university coffers and coach salaries, the young people driving this economic machine are left out, many of whom come from impoverished areas.

Employment is often not viable for student athletes. As a former collegiate baseball player, I experienced first-hand the same rigorous schedule facing young athletes today. Between practices, games and studying for class, realistically these young people don’t have the time for a job.

Student athletes bring in an undeniable amount of funds to higher education institutions. Why not allow them to accept compensation for sponsorships and endorsements?

That is why I introduced the Student Athlete Endorsement Act, House Bill 3904, which would allow student athletes at all colleges and universities in Illinois to receive compensation for the use of their name, image, or likeness in endorsements and sponsorship opportunities.

While a handful of elite student athletes on the path toward playing professional sports could make significant sums of money, the vast majority of athletes would have the opportunity to receive smaller sums of cash from local businesses. The students that stand to benefit the most are playing at smaller schools and could earn an extra buck at a meet-and-greet at the local car dealership or momand-pop restaurant.

The endorsement opportunities would also give these young people real-world career skills and experiences that will serve as an asset as they further their athletic careers professionally, or, in the vast majority of instances, as they enter the workforce searching for their first jobs as college graduates.

My legislation would not only help players, but also local businesses, which will have the opportunity to draw in customers with new promotions, events, and marketing campaigns. Higher education institutions are regional economic engines and this proposal would help spur local economic growth, for these communities across Illinois, whether it’s in Champaign-Urbana, DeKalb, Edwardsville or Charleston.

Furthermore, there’s no denying the significant advantage that this proposal offers to Illinois’ college teams in their recruitment efforts.

The status quo is broken. Each year, a new collegiate program is embroiled in a scandal for paying players. And at the end of the day, oftentimes players face the harshest consequences.

Take the five-game suspension Ohio State Quarterback Terrelle Pryor received in 2010 for selling signed jerseys and other memorabilia for a few thousand dollars. The scandal led to the end of Pryor’s playing career at Ohio State, causing him to fall in the NFL draft and costing him millions of dollars.

If we legalize and regulate how athletes can be compensated, we can help put an end to the seemingly endless cycle of recruiting scandals and unfortunate situations like Pryor’s while also incentivizing student athletes to stay in school and finish their degrees, as they are able to receive monetary compensation while still enrolled.

My proposal is the fair and equitable thing to do for college athletes in Illinois. I am proud of the momentum we have already built for this legislation. It’s not a partisan issue. We have both Democratic and Republican cosponsors. I look forward to continuing this debate, passing this legislation and giving collegiate athletes the opportunity to receive the compensation that they deserve.

YOUTH CLUB Fresh start from page 1 earlier this year. The money, which was included in the $40 billion budget that the Illinois Senate approved on June 1, covers capital and operational costs.

The funds should help the Youth Club remain open for at least another year, said Utopia Hill, the organization’s board vice president.

“We provide a safe haven after school, because parents aren’t home and they’re working,” said Frank Hasman, a Youth Club board member.

Currently, the club has 60 young people who have $75 a year memberships for a range of after school programs and serves a total of roughly 200 kids, Hasman and Hill said. Hill added that the club partners with Bellwood Elementary School District 88, which provides transportation for young people to make it to the club after school each day.

Hill explained that the new club is now completely independent of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

“The national club was looking to consolidate our club, which they had done with clubs nationally — we weren’t the only club,” Hill said. “We didn’t feel that that was the right approach for our club, so we

mutually decided to part ways and become an independent organization.”

Bill Gorey, the Youth Club’s interim executive director, said that the organization was able to endure the financial distress it was under in the spring and summer because of the critical support provided by Boys & Girls Club alum like Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey.

“We were going through some tough times and at one point, the finances were pretty bleak,” Gorey said. “The last thing we wanted to do was close the club, even temporarily.”

The situation, Gorey said, forced him and another board member to approach Harvey

with a request.

“I flat out had to call him and I said, ‘I’m here with my hat in my hands,’” Gory recalled. “We didn’t have money to make payroll. The club was in danger of closing temporarily and we didn’t want to do that to the kids. We didn’t even want that vibe out there, that sense that we weren’t going to make it. Mayor Harvey said, ‘We’ll see what we can do.’”

The mayor gave Gorey a check, which the interim executive director thought would be for about $1,500 — the cost of a dinner dance sponsorship. The check turned out to be for $10,000, Gorey said.

“That was heaven-sent,” he said. “That was the bridge money we needed and it kept us open for the next month. The club is now financially much healthier than we were last spring, but we’re still reaching out to alum [to give donations].”

There was more where that money came from, Harvey said during the ribbon-cutting.

“I’m a Boys and Girls Club member,” the mayor said. “My family moved here in 1969.

This was one of the first stops I made as a young kid who was coming from 22nd and Randolph. Every day, I’d come to this club.

Without the club, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

The Boys Club of Bellwood was founded in 1956 “by local residents and businesses who wanted to establish an organization that filled the emotional, social and physical needs of the boys of the community,” according to its website.

5th Annual

In 1992, the club welcomed girls and opened a new gymnasium. The club changed its name to the Boys & Girls Club of West Cook County in 2001, in order to “acknowledge an expansion of services.”

Hill, herself a former Boys & Girls Club member, said that closing the facility temporarily this summer was one of the hardest decisions the board had to make.

“We knew our finances were to the point where we had to decide either to open over the summer and risk not opening in the fall or close in the summer in order to reopen our doors,” she said. “We’re trying everything we can do to make sure that never happens again.”

Hasman said that the newly independent club will continue to collect donations through its annual dinner dance and golf outing fundraisers while Hill explained that community members can donate online to the new organization, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, at wccyouthclub.org. Donations are always accepted, she said.

“Even though we have a new name, we still have that same mission of contributing to the lives of the youth of our community,” Hill said.

Membership in the West Cook County Youth Club is open to young people in grades first through twelve. The facility at 4000 St. Paul Ave. is open from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more info, call (708) 547-6900 or visit: wccyouthclub.org.
