Maywood business plans expansion National Cycle Inc. wants to build a new building, retention basin

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

National Cycle Inc., located at 2200 S. Maywood Drive in Maywood, is planning to expand its manufacturing operations by building a roughly 28,0000-square-foot building nearby.

The company, which makes windshields and accessories for motorcycles, among other products, also plans to install a retention basin in an area south of the proposed facility.

During an Oct. 17 regular meeting, the Maywood Board of Trustees voted unanimously to move the proposal to the Plan Commission / Zoning Board of Appeals. Trustees Antonio Sanchez, Melvin Lightford and Ron Rivers were absent.

The plan commission will make a recommendation to the village board on whether or not it should grant a range of zoning changes that are required for the proposed construction. After that, the See NATIONAL CYCLE on page 5

Maywood Park District cuts ribbon on revived grounds

The area around the district’s 9th and Madison HQ got a long-awaited $500K makeover

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Burden Langworthy, a security guard with the Maywood Park District, could hardly conceal his excitement as he watched young people and old people

taking shots on a newly paved outdoor basketball court on the district’s Central Area grounds, on 9th Ave. and Madison St., after an Oct. 21 ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Langworthy remembers when the court used to be brimming with talent, future

stars who at the time were still kids anxious to get their fill of hoops before it was time to go inside — from Doc Rivers to Michael Finley and Sherrell Ford and Donnie Boyce.

On Oct. 18, Village Free Press hosted its monthly business resource reception at Riveredge Hospital in Forest Park. During the reception, we gave out Business of the Month Awards for September and October to two vital local businesses in Bellwood and Maywood.

T&JJ’s Supreme Steaks and Catering in Maywood received September’s award while Pan American Bank and Trust received October’s award.

Along with its popular food, T&JJ’s has also become a beacon of the arts with its regular Rebirth of Jazz Nights and attendant Westside Jazz Stage, making Maywood a destination place for lovers of live jazz and blues music.

Pan American Bank and Trust, under the direction of Chris Parker, vice president, relationship executive and office manager, has cultivated a vital presence in Bellwood and the surrounding areas with its focus on building business through forging bonds of trust with clients.

“Pan American started off with $30 million in assets, fast forward 10 years later and they’re at $340 million,” Parker said during the reception. “They have a secret and its relationships. We build quality relationships. We don’t have people who got out and make sales. We have portfolio managers. A group of us managers get assigned relationships and our job is to tend to those relationships.

That’s how we build our bank.”

Tandra M. Rutledge speaks out about mental health Tandra M. Rutledge, the director of business development at Riveredge Hospital, spoke recently to a small crowd during Village Free Press’s monthly business reception, held at the hospital on Oct. 18.

Below is an excerpt of her insightful talk:

“To learn to be human is to develop through the give and take of communication an effective sense of being an individually distinctive member of a community.”

—John Dewey

I’m originally from Ohio. I’ve been in Illinois for a little over a year and I came here for this job. The reason I came here is because of my passion for mental health. There is a stigma in our communities of color and I want to be part of the change to reduce that stigma.

If people see someone like me, a person of color who is a therapist and who can talk the talk and walk the walk, and understand what it means to be in a

TANDRA M. RUTLEDGE

community of color, then maybe I can compel some other people to come out of the shadows and seek help when help is needed — whether it is the loss of a husband or something like chronic depression.

For too many years, we as communities of color have been silent. We have to have conversations, particularly around suicide. I’m a certified suicide trainer. The hospital offers training and presentations at no charge. By going out in the community and having those conversations is how we break down that stigma and shame.

That’s why I uprooted my family from everything that was comfortable and familiar to us to come work at this facility.

NEWS briefs

Maywood fire chief praises heroic out-of-towner who saved family in Oct. 8 house fire Enrique Baez was in Maywood visiting relatives on Sunday, Oct. 8, when he realized that a fire was burning at a home nearby, on the 1800 block of South 21st Ave. With no protective gear, Baez went inside of the burning home and discovered an elderly woman and a young child.

“Not only did he bring them both out of the house, Enrique went back into the house and continued to search for occupants,” said Maywood Fire Chief Craig Bronaugh, Jr. during an Oct. 17 regular village board meeting, where he presented Baez with an honorable mention.

“He went back in only to be driven out by heat and heavy smoke,” Bronaugh said. “This is very brave on his part. It’s dangerous enough for fire personnel to go inside burning buildings. And they wear protective clothing. They wear equipment like self-contained breathing apparatuses to protect their lungs. Enrique went in that building without any equipment.”

Bronaugh said that, while he cautions civilians “never to enter a structure involved in a fire for obvious safety reasons,” he nonetheless wanted to congratulate Baez for his “safety, compassion and his effort.”

No injuries were reported in the fire, which Bronaugh said at the time was caused by an accident. He did not go into details about the cause.

Bronaugh, who explained that he learned about Baez’s actions after the fire was extinguished, said that Baez lives in Indiana and could not make it to the night’s board meeting. Baez could not be reached for comment by the time this article went to publication.

“Again, I want it to be on record that this took place and I want to acknowledge him for his efforts,” said Bronaugh.

ComEd says average customer will get $14 off October energy bill ComEd customers will see credits on their monthly bill for October, according to company officials.

In a statement released on Oct. 17, Val Jensen, ComEd’s senior vice president of customer operations, said that the company requested a refund of around $80 million from the Illinois Commerce Commission as a result of ComEd’s implementation of a new energy efficiency funding mechanism.

“As a result of the Future Energy Jobs Act, a new energy law in Illinois that is going to double energy efficiency savings for customers, the funding mechanism for the collection of energy efficiency funds

changed,” Jensen explained.

“The funds collected for the energy efficiency programming year (June 2016 to June 2017) were not completely spent,” he said, “so ComEd filed a request with the ICC to return the funds back to its customers.”

The average ComEd residential customer will get a credit of around $14 on their bill in October.

Towns prep for safe Halloween holiday Last week, some towns had already released the details of how they’re preparing to keep their residents safe during Halloween on Oct. 31. During a regular board meeting on Oct. 17, Maywood Trustee Isiah Brandon announced that his youth delegation had created an official safe route for trick-ortreating that families can use.

The route is from 5th and Madison to 5th and St. Charles in Maywood. He said that a list of the roughly 10 businesses that have agreed to participate as trick-or-treat destinations will be released soon, along with a map. The trick-or-treating will end at 200 S. 5th Ave. A schedule had yet to be released as of last week.

In Bellwood last week, police announced that they would take place in a Halloween “Click it or Ticket” safety belt enforcement campaign, which will kick off Oct. 27 and run through Nov. 1. The Bellwood police are participating with the Illinois State

Police and over 500 local law enforcement agencies across the state in this initiative.

As of last week, the department was the only one among Broadview, Maywood and Melrose Park to put out a press release announcing their participation. Most of the extra enforcement will take place between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., which is the deadliest period of time on Illinois roads, according to the Illinois State Police.

Chicago police looking for owners of stolen goods recovered in Maywood Chicago police officers are attempting to locate the owners of stolen items that were recovered from a Maywood home, according to a WGN report published last week.

The total estimated value of the items, which include bicycles, lawn mowers and power tools, is around $500,000.

The items were on display at a police station in Chicago. Officers said that many of the items come from residents in the city.

Bellwood celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month Over a hundred people gathered inside of the Eisenhower Park community building, 700 Speechley Blvd. in Hillside, on Oct. 21 for the village of Bellwood’s 16th annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration.

The event featured Triton College’s Trio Band, along with students from schools in Districts 87 and 88.

“Hispanic Heritage Month coincides with when countries like Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras gained independence,” said Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey. “We want all of our residents to feel welcome throughout the year. This is about inclusion.”

Loyola breaks ground on major flooding relief project The Maywood medical center will build storm water traps and a relief sewer beneath 1st Ave. parking lots

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

At least a dozen elected officials and hospital representatives were on hand on Oct. 17 for the ceremonial groundbreaking of a storm water abatement project on the site of Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood.

The project is designed to prevent the kind of flooding that happened in April 2013, when a major storm affected the Level I trauma center. Patients, ambulances, medical center employees and students had trouble accessing the campus, which is located just west of the Des Plaines River.

Since the 1990s, according to hospital officials, Loyola has had to deal with a range of complications from periodic flooding.

The storm water abatement project will include the installation of two storm water traps and a relief sewer beneath parking lots on First Avenue, mitigating flooding that happens on the campus’ eastern periphery.

“Each stormwater trap can hold 2.5 acrefeet of water, or about three dozen backyard swimming pools,” according to a statement released by Loyola on Oct. 17. “The storm water will be contained until the Des Plaines River level recedes and the storm water can

slowly be released.”

The project, Loyola officials added, will benefit surrounding communities, such as Maywood, Forest Park and Broadview.

Loyola officials said that around threequarters of the project will be funded by a $5.5 million grant provided by Cook County, along with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant Program for Disaster Relief.

“Flood waters have plagued residents and institutions for a long time,” said U.S. Congressman Danny K. Davis (7th) during the groundbreaking. “Thanks to the advocacy and hard work of Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin, in concert with myself and others, relief is on the way.”

Commissioner Boykin (1st) said that Loyola “is one of the crown jewels of the First District, and we need to protect it,” adding that the $5.5 million grant will help

to ensure that those who need the hospital’s service won’t lose access during heavy rains and flooding that are becoming increasingly more common.

“Thanks to this investment, the [Loyola’s] Health Sciences Division is not only at a reduced risk of additional costly losses from flooding, but it also ensures students, faculty and staff can reliably access the roadways and facilities they need to continue their important work,” said Dr. Margaret Faut Callahan, the provost of Loyola’s Health Sciences Division.

James A. Cunningham, HUD’s Midwest deputy regional administrator, said that the federal agency’s contribution “will promote swift recovery efforts and economic resiliency in the Maywood community.”

“As a Level 1 trauma center, it is imperative that emergency crews, patients and our healthcare colleagues can get to Loyola 24/7, especially during extreme weather,” said

Larry M. Goldberg, the president and CEO of Loyola University Health System.

“This infrastructure investment — essentially a mini deep tunnel — will allow us to deliver exceptional, compassionate care without interruption,” he said.

Loyola tapped the woman-owned firm Berger Excavating Contractors, Inc. to provide contractor services, Smith Group JJR to provide civil engineering services and McNitt Consulting to serve as the project manager.

The abatement project, the first in a multiphase initiative, will take about a year to complete, officials said.

“Future phases call for additional stormwater traps on the south and west sides of campus,” the Loyola release explained, “as well as another relief sewer under 5th Avenue.”

European confections giant to acquire Ferrara Candy Co. The company’s factories in Bellwood and Forest Park will remain open

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Ferrara Candy Company, acquired by the private equity firm L Catterton in 2012 to create the third-largest non-chocolate confectionary company in the country, will be sold to the Alba, Italy-based Ferrero Group, makers of Nutella, Tic Tacs and Fannie May candies, the companies announced in a joint press release on Oct. 18.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the transaction is expected to be finalized by the end of 2017.

Ferrara Candy Company, the makers of iconic brands such as Lemonheads and Trolli gummy candies, was founded in 1908 and headquartered in Forest Park from 1959 until 2012.

L Catterton announced it would acquire Ferrara Pan Candy Company in June 2012, just one month after the death of longtime Ferrara CEO Nello Ferrara at the age of 93. The company merged with Minnesotabased Farley’s & Sathers, the makers of such chewy treats as Chuckles and Jujyfruits as well as Brachs Candy, which L Catterton had already been acquired. The consolidated company was renamed Ferrara Candy Company.

After that acquisition, L Catterton shut Farley & Sathers’ operations in Minnesota and consolidated operations in the Chicago

area. Ferrara Candy Company moved its headquarters to Oakbrook Terrace, and in 2014 Ferrara leased a 750,000-square-foot warehouse space in Bolingbrook.

Ferrara Candy Company’s plants in Forest Park and Bellwood will remain open, according to the press release announcing the sale of Ferrara Candy Company to Ferrero, as will two plants in Mexico.

Ferrero Group also plans to keep the Bolingbrook warehouse, Ferrara Candy Company’s research and development center in Bellwood and a distribution center in Texas.

“Ferrero intends to maintain and leverage this existing footprint with no further consolidation,” the press release states.

L Catterton had been looking to sell Ferrara Candy Company or spin it off as a public company for more than a year. In July 2016, Crain’s Chicago Business reported that Ferrara Candy Company “could be valued at $1 billion if it were to go public.”

The firm ended up selling the company to the European confectionary giant instead.

“This transaction represents a terrific outcome for Ferrara and L Catterton, and we are confident that Ferrara will thrive and reach new heights in collaboration with Ferrero,” said Scott Dahnke, global CEO of L Catterton in the press release.

Ferrero, founded in 1946 in Alba, Italy, is the third-largest candy company in the world

with global sales of more than $12 billion. It entered the U.S. market in 1969 with Tic Tac breath mints. In May, Ferrero announced it had completed its acquisition of Fannie May, another famous U.S. candy brand once headquartered in Chicago, for $115 million.

“With this acquisition, we are continuing to increase our overall footprint and product offering in the important U.S. market, establishing a presence in new confectionary categories with attractive growth prospects, including gummy and seasonal candies,” said Giovanni Ferrero, executive chairman of the Ferrero Group in the Oct. 18 press release announcing the purchase of Ferrara Candy Company. “We look forward to continuing to grow the Ferrara business, investing in its brands to support expansion plans, leveraging its U.S. manufacturing plants and distribution centers and creating opportunities for its talented people.”

The press release specifically noted Ferrara Candy brands such as Trolli, a gummy candy brand, and Black Forest Organics, which includes organic and fruity candies. The press release also mentions Brachs, another former Chicago candy giant which had been part of Farley & Sathers before the 2012 merger with Ferrara.

Brachs is attractive for its seasonal candy, “particularly at Halloween,” the press release stated.

NATIONAL CYCLE Building up and out from page 1 village board will vote on final approval.

The village staff, along with Hancock Engineering and the fire department have recommended that the village convert a parcel it owns located east of National Cycle into a right of way to improve traffic access in the area and to provide a buffer between the project and the residential neighborhood to the south.

During Tuesday’s meeting, village board members and staff lauded National Cycle, which has been in Maywood since it was founded in 1937, along with the company’s expansion efforts.

“National Cycle is one of our largest employers in Maywood,” said Trustee Henderson Yarbrough. “They’ve been here for a number of years. They’ve stayed with us. They do an excellent job.”

Village Manager Willie Norfleet, Jr. said that he and his staff toured the facilities several months ago and left impressed.

“It was probably one of the best tours I’d seen in many, many years,” Norfleet said. “I was highly impressed. I’m quite pleased to hear the board is moving forward.”

Barry Willey, the president and CEO of National Cycle, said at the meeting that his company has been in Maywood for 80 years. He did not comment on how much

Village Free Press | October 25, 2017 the expansion project would cost or go into detail about the reason for the expansion.

Willey did say, however, that the company has grown recently and exports internationally, to places like India and China.

“Business is starting to come back,” Willey said, adding that his company had been in at least three other locations in the village before locating to its current location in Maywood, which he praised.

“Maywood’s a great place for business,” said Willey, who was born and raised in the village. “It has a great location and a lot of people here. Maywood is a wonderful place for finding [skilled] people.”

Proviso East student performs poem before ‘Hamilton’ play

Janet Buenrostro goes down fighting

Anahi Soto, 16, was the only student selected to perform

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Anahi Soto, a 16-year-old junior at Proviso East High School, was recently selected to perform onstage at the CIBC Theatre in Chicago, moments before it was overtaken by the cast of the popular musical “Hamilton.”

Soho had won a District 209wide competition in order to earn the honor. She was the only student the night of the performance who was selected to read her work before an auditorium full of people.

Soto’s poem was rather Photo submitted fitting, considering the context (“Hamilton” is a Tony- and ANAHI SOTO Pulitzer-award-winning play that is performed by a largely minority cast in song and rap lyrics, and is about the American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton).

“I performed a poem that I wrote that spoke about the beginning to the bill of rights, and what it means to have such freedoms,” Soto said. “I am very thankful to have been given the opportunity to have represented my school, Proviso East, and the Maywood community in front of a full

house and inside such a prestigious theater.”

Soto credited some Proviso East faculty and administration members for organizing the the event.

“My APUSH teacher Mr. Kayser, and librarian, Ms. Shabana, did an amazing job in orchestrating this event,” she said. “Even Dr. Patrick Hardy, the school principal, accompanied us. His charm made it a very comfortable environment for everyone to be themselves.”

Soto said that the “Hamilton” cast members were “very helpful, friendly and approachable.”

“I had the opportunity to speak with the cast, including the actress who played Eliza Hamilton,” she said. “She helped me to relax just as my turn was coming up, and gave me some advice on how to perform. This was an experience that I will cherish forever.”

Janet Buenrostro, the 14-yearold who last week became the first Proviso East High School tennis player to qualify for the IHSA state tennis tournament in over 35 years, was defeated in the tourney’s first round on Oct. 19.

Buenrostro lost 6-4, 6-1 to Sophie Davis of Providence Catholic in New Lenox.

Buenrostro, however, showed resilience in the first round consolation bracket, soundly defeating Kayla McSweeney of Richards in Oak Lawn 6-0, 6-1, before losing in the second round consolation bracket to Marta Krakowski of Elgin High School in Elgin 6-0, 6-2.

Proviso East volunteer assistant coach Mel Phillips said that Buenrostro, a freshman at Proviso Math and Science Academy, “played well, fought hard and never gave up.”

“We’re all very proud,” said Phillips, who qualified for the state tourney as a Proviso East tennis player back in 1978.

River Forest doctor to run for Congress again Dr. Jeffrey Leef, a Republican, promotes free markets, universal basic income

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

Dr. Jeffrey Leef, a River Forest radiologist who ran as the Republican challenger against U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis (7th) in 2018, recently announced that he’s running for Congress again.

In an interview on Sunday, Leef said that he’s wiser to how local electoral politics operate in Democrat-heavy Cook County, which should help him as he maneuvers his way onto the ballot.

But even though Leef won’t be an entirely new entity in his second bid for Congress, he’ll still have to confront the novelty of running as a moderate in a party that’s currently helmed by Republican President Donald Trump.

“My approach is going to be the same,” said Leef. “I go along through these things honestly and put my views out there, but I’m not as naive now of all the things that can happen.”

On Nov. 8, 2016, Leef garnered around 16 percent of the vote in a head-to-head matchup against Davis, who has been in Congress for 20 years. But the high political drama happened during the Republican Primary race.

Leef said he decided to run for the House

seat because he was frustrated that so many guy should be able to express his views, run races were going uncontested. Since he and let the people speak. I ask for nothing made his decision after the primary contest, more than that.” he had to get nominated by his party’s Leef said that, despite his considerable committeemen in order to run in opposition to some measures the general against Davis. taken by Trump and Leef secured the required Congressional Republicans, nomination and minimum he still has faith in the basic petition signatures to appear decency of the American people on the ballot, but a former and of the country’s institutions.

Republican Party committeeman “I agree 100 percent that the objected to Leef ’s candidacy.

Leef decried what he said is the tendency The Chicago Board of Elections upheld the objection to Leef ’s candidacy, which would of many on the Left to caricature all Republicans based on the actions, and have kicked him off the ballot; however, Leef filed, and eventually won, a federal lawsuit language, of far-right politicians and extreme right personalities, such as Trump. that allowed him to stay in the race.

But Leef also voiced frustration with “It was an eye-opener,” Leef said of the experience, “but thank God I came out of it. Congressional Republicans, who he said, It gave me faith in the whole process. We live “completely let me down.”

“For seven years, the Republicans lied, in a two-party system here and the average

saying that they had something that had already been drawn up and ready to go,” said Lee, a radiologist who said that he’ll soon be assuming the role of director of interventional radiology at the University of Chicago’s new South Side trauma center.

“All they were doing was using the fact that there are fatal flaws in the ACA and yelling about it,” he said. “They didn’t have anything solid to replace it with. But because the Republicans were incompetent with the issue doesn’t mean that that the ACA is good. There are some fatal flaws with ACA that need to be changed.”

Leef said that the country’s healthcare system should be more privatized and subject to more competition and choice — an approach that he said should also be taken in other sectors, such as education.

The physician pivoted to his left, however, when laying out his most ambitious campaign platform.

“I’m in favor of a universal salary that every American would be entitled to,” he said. “It would be a certain base salary, let’s say $40,000 or $30,000. You’ll have that money and use it make your own choices — whether you decide to spend it on school or healthcare.

MY perspective

Credit where credit is due

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

In my nearly five years of covering Maywood, I’ve grown used to sloppy pessimism and cynicism emanating from many fronts — particularly Facebook.

I bristled when I read some recent comments under a post about the park district renovating its central area grounds.

“Definitely rushed to get that done,” the comment read. “When are you guys going to fix these streets? Maybe Add better lighting at the already existing parks. Maybe should redo some of the badly damage parks [sic].”

The comment garnered a thumbs up and a response from someone else, who explained that “You’ll get all that as soon as you pay more in taxes. It’s not free, ya know… government pockets have to get lined first.”

Yet another respondent noted, “Well y’all taking enough from the red light camera in maywood.”

There’s a lot to unpack here — not the least of which is that the park district, being a separate taxing body from the village, has no responsibility for maintaining Maywood’s streets.

And one wonders if the commenter thought twice about writing that whatever undefined entity he references “should redo some of the badly damage parks” under a news post about a renovated park.

The posts also betrayed an ignorance of the fact that the park district doesn’t even control most of the parks in the village, which is its own issue.

the last year without raising new taxes (the money has come from a combination of TIF funds and county, state and federal grants).

Or that the park district does not realize any revenue from red light cameras and what revenue the village of Maywood realizes from red light cameras is likely to be inconsequential.

It’s rather frustrating when I encounter these criticisms, but the deep cynicism and pessimism behind them is understandable.

Those sentiments have become the default positions of many Maywood residents who are even more frustrated (and rightly so) about any number of things.

But lazy and misinformed skepticism will not make one’s frustrations go away or improve one’s material reality. In fact, it often simply feeds a climate of despair in which neglected parks and darkly lit streets are the norm.

When something good happens, like $500,000 worth of park upgrades, some people are so used to dysfunction that they can’t bring themselves to give credit where credit is due.

Take it from a natural pessimist. It’s OK to feel good about what’s currently happening at the park district, even if, like me, you might have to temper the feeling with caution.

I’m not intimately familiar enough with the park district’s affairs to be giddy, but I do know the contours of its recent history (going back to 2013, when I first started covering Maywood) enough to see that the district is making progress.

In 2006, the park district received a $1 million state grant to renovate its flagship building at 809 Madison. By 2013, the building still sat empty.

Maywood native and current resident who paved the way for the funding, said that she was “heartbroken” when she learned that despite $750,000 spent, the building seemed nowhere near ready to open roughly a decade later.

The most recent round of funding that paid for the district’s exterior renovations and that the park district is confident will pay for them to open the renovated 809 Building, after three decades of vacancy, is due to Lightford’s work in the General Assembly, despite the heartbreak, on behalf of low-income park districts not just in Maywood but across the state.

Lightford sponsored a bill in the Senate that allocates money to park districts in need. State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch, another Maywood native, helped push it through the House. And when Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner froze those funds, Lightford and Welch were among those lawmakers who pushed back until he freed them up.

This time, Lightford said, better oversight measures will ensure that the money isn’t squandered. The village of Maywood matched that oversight when it voted unanimously in September to give the park district $285,000 in TIF funds that would be paid directly to contractors working on the 805 Building.

Credit is also due to park district officials, particularly former executive director Antoinette Dorris, who made sure that the district got its financial house in order. A period of belt-tightening resulted in the district earning the trust of a bank that would loan them enough money to make the required matching share necessary to secure those state grants.

And it took the apparent diligence and

doggedness of the park district commission, particularly commissioners Terrance Jones and Dawn Williams-Rone, who seemed to envision Saturday’s ribbon-cutting when they first got elected in 2013. Their work would be void without the votes of their fellow commissioners Bill Hampton, Arnettra Burnside and John Rice.

The district, under a new executive director, Lonette Hall, also seems to be working on a plan to finally take control over the six remaining parks that should have been transferred from the village a long time ago, ever since the passage of a 2006 referendum mandating such a transition.

This is all progress and it should be praised, but there are also qualifiers. For instance, I worry what kind of debt load the park district has taken on in its pursuit of renovating its central area district, and whether or not it will continue its financial prudence beyond what’s needed to open the 809 Building’s doors. I also wonder if the district will be able to scale up and upgrade its services and programs to the level of its parks and facilities.

There are other concerns that I have — many due to a lack of knowledge. For the sake of transparency and as a way to manage the public’s expectations, the park district could perhaps host some informational sessions designed to educate the community on its financial status and its future plans — both for its central area district park and the other parks under its control.

But responsibility is a two-street.

Residents need to take some measure of responsibility for their own civic awareness and understanding instead of falling back on lazy, knee-jerk cynicism.

MAYWOOD PARK DISTRICT A new day from page 1 “I’m excited for the kids,” Langworthy said. “I’ve been working here on and off since 1988. I’ve been through the good and the bad. Now it’s back to the good.”

The court is just one aspect of a $500,000 exterior redesign of the district’s central area grounds that also includes the installation of Ping-Pong and game tables, the resurfacing of the parking lot, the renovation of the outdoor garden, the installation of a flower bed island in the lot, brand new fencing, the installation of a picnic shelter and a t-ball and soccer field designed for smaller children, among other improvements.

Lacey Lawrence, a landscape designer for Hitchcock Design Group, the landscape architecture contracted by the district for the project, said that “We still have a few minor things to take care of like the drinking fountain, but those are just small things,” Lawrence said, adding that the landscaping featured hardy, ornamental plants that can withstand drought and don’t require lots of maintenance.

Work on the project began in June and is nearly finished. The project is fully funded, with around half of the money coming a state grant that required matching funds.

The district secured a loan from Hinsdale Bank in order to match the grant amount, according to Toni Dorris, the district’s grant administrator and former executive director.

As a condition of securing the loan, the district embarked on a period of austerity, which included enacting significant budget cuts.

“In order for us to get here today, the board had to make some really hard changes and one of those was to completely live for two

years on an austerity plan,” Dorris said during the Oct. 21 ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“That meant we had to cut staff and wasteful spending. I really want to thank staff, because when you look at what other parks pay their employees, we’re way below that,” she said. “This is just an example of what people who have a heart for the community can do.”

Dorris also thanked Hinsdale Bank, who sent a representative, Rick Morales, to the ribbon-cutting.

“When we met with Hinsdale and gave them the idea, we were already 18 months into our austerity plan,” Dorris said. “We didn’t have a strong financial history, but they gave us a chance. This is only the beginning.”

Park District Commissioners Terrance Jones and Dawn Williams-Rone said that the project is a result of community collaboration.

“This has been a community effort,” Williams-Rone said. “It’s been a long overhaul and a long journey, but we’ve finally gotten this point. Our job is to provide resources to our community and I think this is a step in the right direction.”

Jones said that being alert to public input meant that the commission had to revise its plans from time to time. He said that the process of conducting a comprehensive plan for the district started in 2013, when he and Williams-Rone were first elected to the commission.

“We really took a lot of time with the redesign,” he said. “At one point, this was thought to be a skating park. Other ideas were in the works. But we listened to the community and we really worked hard to do what the people in Maywood wanted.

The goal is to have kids in this park 24/7, if possible. On Sunday mornings, I want to see kids in this park.”

Jones added that the project came in at around $20,000 under budget, which allowed officials to make more substantial upgrades.

He said that a minority-, woman-owned construction firm, Hacienda Landscaping, was hired for construction work.

State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th) said that he often came to the parks at 9th Ave. and Madison St. as a child.

“This is where I grew up,” Welch said during Saturday’s event.

“You can ask [Proviso Township High Schools District 209 Board President] Theresa Kelly. She’ll tell you. Me and her boys played in this park all the time.

To see what happened to our parks and to see today is just great.”

“We want to do good things at the park,” said Park District Commissioner Bill Hampton. “It’s been a long haul and a long journey, but we’ve finally gotten to this point. Our job is to provide resources to our community and I think this is a step in the right direction.”

Hampton brought as his guest Rory Kennedy, the daughter of Robert Kennedy and sister of businessman Chris Kennedy, who is campaigning for governor in the Democratic Primary.

“I am so honored to be here and be part of this community,” Kennedy said. “I think what you’re doing here really represents the future. I see the entire community working together and collaborating — banks working with community leaders and state officials — all in the interest of the children.”

Looking forward The exterior redesign is just the first phase of a larger renovation of the central area district. With the exterior redesign nearly complete, the district is now focusing its efforts on maintaining their new outdoor digs.

“It is important that you tell your neighbors that this is our park,” said Dorris, who pointed out that the district had already been victimized by a string of thefts that took place earlier this month. The suspects allegedly stole a large tree and other pieces of landscaping that had been recently planted.

The commission has an even stronger focus on completing the renovation of the 809 Madison building.

In 2014, the district received a $1.62 million state grant through a bill sponsored in the Senate by state Sen. Kimberly Lightford (4th) and in the House by Welch that provides financially distressed local governments across the state with Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grants for up to 90 percent of the total cost of projects. Before, the grants would only cover up to 50 percent.

That money was frozen shortly after by Gov. Bruce Rauner took office in 2015, but it was eventually re-released a year later.

Earlier this year, Lonette Hall, the park district’s new executive director, said that renovating the building would cost around $1.8 million, of which the district will be directly responsible for around $360,000 to $400,000.

In September, the Maywood Board of Trustees approved to allocate $285,000 in Madison St. TIF funds to help cover the costs of renovating the building. At the time, Maywood Village Manager Willie Norfleet, Jr. said that the village will pay the invoices

The oversight measure for this most recent grant is different than the $1 million grant awarded to the park district in March 2006 by the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO), said Lightford in an interview in 2014. Lightford was also instrumental in shepherding that funding through the General Assembly.

Around $750,000 of that grant was spent without the building ever opening, according to state records. At the time, the Park District’s then-executive director, Al McKinnor, was responsible for overseeing the project.

Documents from a state audit conducted on the rehabilitation project reveal that McKinnor contracted construction work on the building out to relatives and that the state required him to pay back at least a portion of the money that was spent. However, the audit didn’t find any substantial wrongdoing.

Lightford said in 2014 that the $1.62 million grant is “coming from a different pot of funding. There are criteria and an audit system locked into this grant system,

whereas the previous grant was administered

by DCEO — it was a construction grant,” she said. “That was dealt with a little differently.

Back then, the shortfalls along the way weren’t noticed until the very end.”

Welch said on Saturday that he and Lightford “are going to make sure” that the district secures the remaining $1.62 million grant so that the 809 Building is completed.

“This park board has been relentless,” Welch said. “If they’re not calling and emailing, they’re down in Springfield knocking on doors, making sure the district moves in the right direction.”

In the meantime, Langworthy has new memories to look forward to from basketball talent anchored by Quinton “Danka” Beasley, a Proviso East basketball standout who once played overseas and is the founder of Danka’s Basketball League.

The league started a new season on Monday, which was marked by a shoe drive for Nigerian children. With the help of the park district, Beasley has also started a traveling basketball team.

“We’re looking forward to playing on that court,” Beasley said after the Oct. 21 ribbon-

cutting.

Longtime park district tenant Debra Vines, the founder of the Answer, Inc., an autism awareness nonprofit, said that she’s been holding programs at the district’s central area headquarters for seven years and doesn’t plan to move anytime soon.

“I am super excited about the things that are getting ready to happen for families impacted by children with special needs,” Vines said on Saturday. “We have not stopped our programming here. We will stay here and expand our programs.”

Carroll McFarland, a Maywood resident who lives near the park district, said that he came Saturday to see the revived grounds for himself.

“This park had been down to nothing,” he said. “I’m glad to see Maywood on the move now.”

Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins echoed his optimism.

“What you see today is going to be the future,” Perkins said. “We have to look to the future.”
