Mt. Sinai workers authorize strike SEIU Healthcare Illinois and Sinai Health System continue negotiations hoping to avoid action of ‘last resort’ By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Roughly 400 nursing assistants, patient care technicians, dietary workers, therapists, drivers who transport patients and food service workers, among other service workers employed by Sinai Health System and represented by Service Employees International Union Healthcare Illinois are prepared to go on strike if they can’t reach an agreement with the hospital system. Around 97 percent of the workers — who represent a significant portion of service employees at Mt. Sinai Hospital, 1500 S. Fairfield Ave, and Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, 1401 S. California Ave. — voted to authorize the union to call a strike, SEIU officials said Oct. 2. The employees’ contract expired in June. With the strike authorization set, the union will now be able to give a strike notice to Sinai Health System, which owns both hospitals. Under the federal law, the union must notify the employer of a strike at least 10 days ahead of time. SEIU Healthcare Illinois spokesperson James Muhammad said that the union still hopes to avoid a strike, so hasn’t set a date for doing so. Muhammad said that the employees want See SINAI WORKERS on page 7

ON YOUR MARK: Runners take off at the start of the Austin 5K on Sept. 28. The annual race drew more than 500 participants, despite wet weather.

Hundreds turn out in rainy weather for Austin 5K Maxwell Crawford and Lacey Fournier were top finishers

By KRYSTIN WILLIAMS AustinTalks

Neither rain nor chilly weather could damper enthusiasm at last this year’s Austin POWER 5K run/walk, held Sept. 28 in Austin. More than 500 people participated in the event, the fifth annual held to celebrate and show pride in the community. This year, the focus was also on raising awareness, especially among black males, about the importance of staying healthy.

Before runners and walkers kicked off at 8:30 a.m., at the corner of Chicago and Mayfield, Rev. Cy Fields, senior pastor of New Landmark Missionary Baptist Church in East Garfield Park, and his mother thanked the crowd for turning out and encouraged them to take care of their health. This year’s race was dedicated to the memory of their brother and son, Decon Ywain Fields, a well-known DJ at WVON, who died of a heart attack earlier this year at the age of 56. The first-place male finisher was Max-

well Crawford, 21, with a time of 19:12, while Lacey Fournier, 39, was the firstplace female finisher, with a time of 22:24. Crawford said he enjoyed the day. “Even though this was my first time participating, I have always been involved in track and field. It was a great event to be a part of,” he said. Among the first group of finishers after Crawford and Fournier were state Rep. La Shawn Ford and Peter Sagal, host of

I may sympathize, but Guyger is still guilty

ears back, I worked as a school bus driver out in the far western suburbs. Because I would have a four hour break between shifts, one day I decided to make a quick trip out to Elgin. It was only about a half-hour away from where I was. I got on the I-290 expressway headed westbound around Route 83 and then for some reason that I can no longer recall, I got off several exits later to continue on Lake Street. I believe that I changed my mind because taking Lake Street would be the smarter option as it would put me closer to my destination then to continue on I-290 and end up much too far north. As I drove on Lake Street, I kept seeing signs that said I was headed eastbound. I remember thinking to myself that I knew I was headed west and I was going to write Governor Blagojevich (who was the governor at that time) and tell him how they had all the signs on the road wrong because I was headed westbound and all the signs kept saying eastbound. How could the state make such a stupid error? I drove for at least 15 minutes, thoroughly convinced that I was headed westbound even though the road signs said differently. It was only when I came to a recognizable intersection that I had to finally admit and acknowledge that I had been headed eastbound the entire time. I recall pulling over and sitting for about an hour unable to comprehend how I could disregard what I saw because my mind kept telling me something else. It was a powerful lesson then and remains a powerful memory now. How my mind could play a trick and convince me to disregard everything I saw was a compelling affirmation of the power of the mind.

Proud to partner with Austin Talks

It is because of that memory that I can partially understand the Amber Guyger case. She is the off-duty police officer who parked on the wrong floor and went to what she thought was her apartment. Just like me, she disregarded all the warning signs that should have alerted her that she was at the wrong location. She had, in fact, arrived at the apartment of Botham Jean. Amber was convinced it was her apartment and, believing this was an intruder, opened fire. As we all now know, she was at the wrong place. While I can empathize with her believing she was at her apartment, I cannot be in agreement regarding her decision to use lethal force as the solution. Because she was off duty, her first obligation should have been to call the police who were on duty. There was no imminent threat to her. The only threat that existed was the one she caused by going through that door. And that decision is the reason I strongly feel she needed to be found guilty. Her decision tells me she is trigger happy and would have been quick to kill anybody she found to be burglarizing an apartment. Her behavior following the shooting also made me feel she was guilty. Instead of attempting to save Botham’s life, she spent more time on the phone worried about losing her job. Her callous disregard was evident thanks to a video a neighbor shot as well as her 911 call where neither she nor the operator seemed to be concerned about giving first aid to the shooting victim. It is the above fact that I am not thrilled about the 10-year sentence. From the hugs in the courtroom, to a key witness in the case being killed, to rumblings that Amber may not serve her entire sentence, we should stay vigilant and monitor how this all plays out for the future.

Michele Clark seniors looking for college cash

Dejah Teague and Milik Wright getting a jumpstart on college planning, school to hold FAFSA workshop Oct. 11 By SUZANNE McBRIDE AustinTalks

Dejah Teague and Milik Wright weren’t going to wait to complete the Free Application for Financial Student Aid form, which became available to prospective college students starting Oct. 1. Teague and Wright, seniors at Michele Clark Academic Prep Magnet High School, want to make sure they can pay for college next year, so filling out the FAFSA form is key if they want to be eligible for state and federal grants, and other funding. “I’m fortunate to have both parents in my life, and they support me,” but Wright said he’s going to need financial support to pay for college. He plans to attend Harper College and hopes to become a sociologist. Teague, the oldest of three, would be the first to attend college, “which means I’ll be the trailblazer in my family.” She plans to attend Malcolm X College and become a dental hygienist. “I would like to encourage all my peers to complete the FAFSA,” she said on Sept. 24, as several of her classmates, Principal Charles Anderson and state Rep. La Shawn Ford looked on. The school is inviting parents who need help completing the FAFSA form or need access to a computer and/or the internet to come to Michele Clark from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Oct. 11. It’s critical that students “start working on getting money” for college, Principal Anderson said.

AustinTalks

LOOKING AHEAD: Dejah Teague, left, a senior at Michele Clark Academic Prep Magnet High School, is working with Stephanie Ford, the school’s post-secondary coach, on applying for college. Rep. Ford agreed, noting that college can be a pathway to a career or put you into debt. Forty-five million Americans owe more than $1 trillion in college debt, he said, and African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to graduate from

college owing money. “Going to college is expensive, and going to college can put you into debt,” he said, adding that anytime you can apply for grants and other aid that you don’t have to pay back, you should. He encouraged students headed to college in Illinois to complete the FAFSA so they can be considered for a grant from the state’s Monetary Award Program (MAP). For those interested in attending one of the state’s 12 fouryear public universities, they can also be considered for the AIM HIGH grant program. State lawmakers approved a budget bill that increases the MAP program to $500 million over the next year, while the AIM HIGH program is funded at $35 million. “There is a way to reduce that debt,” said Ford, who is chair of the Illinois House’s Higher Education Appropriations Committee. “Whether you’re going to a community college, a public university or a private college, the money is there, and we must get our share.” Stephanie Ford, the post-secondary coach at Michele Clark, said her main focus this time of year is working with seniors as they complete the FAFSA form. The school requires each of the 126 seniors to apply to at least 10 colleges or universities; seniors also must apply for at least two scholarships; and they have to submit the FAFSA. Helping students see they can afford college is key, she said. “The sticker price shocks a lot of students when we go over the cost.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

Fathers Who Care

Promoting Responsible Fatherhood Involvement Fathers Who Care is a non-profit organization

SEIU Healthcare Illinois

POISED FOR ACTION: Sinai Health System service employees recently authorized their union, SEIU Healthcare Illinois, to call a strike if they can’t negotiate higher pay and better staffing with their employer.

SINAI WORKERS Still negotiating from page 1 higher wages and better staffing levels. He said that the current staffing levels are low enough to pose a safety risk for patients, and many employees earn so little they can’t even afford the insurance plan provided by the health system. The union also wants Sinai Health System to invest more in the communities it serves. Following the vote, Sinai Health System issued a statement expressing hope that a strike could be averted through negotiations. “Sinai and the union have been in negotiations for approximately four months and have had multiple bargaining sessions, with progression toward signed agreements between the hospitals and the union,” Sinai Health stated. “We remain confident we will reach resolution on a final contract in the near future. As always, Sinai Health System is committed to our mission and will remain prepared through contingency plans to provide patients and the community highquality care for them and their loved ones.” As previously reported by Austin Weekly News, registered nurses, technicians and registry workers are notably among those represented by SEIU Healthcare Illinois. Muhammad said that, if the strike happens, the non-union employees plan to join the picket lines in solidarity with their unionized colleagues. The nurses have been trying to get union representation through SEIU Healthcare Illinois for the past two decades. According to the National Labor Relations Board, employees can form a union one of two ways: by a majority of employees who would be included in the union voting to join or by the employer choosing to recognize the union without a vote taking place. The nurses tried the for mer option in 2006

and 2007, and both votes failed. National Labor Relations Board records show that for the 2007 ballot, among the 508 eligible employees, 152 voted for unionization while 293 voted against it. Muhammad said he didn’t know anything about either vote, so he couldn’t comment on them. But he said that, generally speaking, SEIU Healthcare Illinois pushed for voluntary recognition because they believed that, otherwise, Sinai Health System would try to intimidate employees into voting against. “The hospital wants to be able to hold the nurses hostage, to be able to have workers where they can threaten them, give them antiunion [propaganda],” Muhammad said. “The motive for the hospital is to be able to threaten workers and make it seem like they would be fired if they want [to join] the union.” Sinai Health System spokesperson Dan Regan previously indicated via email that his employer preferred the vote by a secret ballot because it wanted to respect the wishes of the majority of nurses it employs. Clarise Evans, a certified nursing assistant at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, stated that she has experienced the pitfalls of understaffing and the struggle to pay for her insurance first-hand. “I love my patients and I do my best,” she explained in the SEIU statement. “But I can’t begin to tell you how stressful it is to do your best when you’re doing the job of multiple people. You would think a hospital worker would be able to access healthcare without skipping paying other bills or putting groceries on the table. That’s why I voted yes.” Regan said that, as of Oct. 4, Sinai Health System had nothing further to add beyond the statement the hospital put out after the strike authorization. Muhammad said the strike is a last resort for the workers. “We’ll continue the bargaining process,” he said. “We’ll continue to ask Mt. Sinai to come to the table and bargain fairly and address the legitimate concerns.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

15th District Police commander promoted

Commander Ernest Cato III to become deputy chief of patrol By MATEUSZ JANIK AustinTalks

BOB MEAD/Mead Communications

STARTING AND FINISHING STRONG: Mac Alexander, the owner of MacArthur’s Restaurant in Austin, sits on the passenger seat of a pace car as the Austin 5K kicks off. The race featured more than 500 participants.

The 15th Police District Commander, Ernest Cato III, has been promoted to deputy chief of patrol (North) overseeing nine districts on the North and West sides. As he wraps up his work in the 15th District, Cato said he’ll continue to work for Austin. “I will continue to come to this community to show the support that’s necessary to help rebuild our communities,” Cato said in an interview Saturday. “The goal is to bring more collaboration and cooperation with police and organizations in the communities that we serve.” A 29-year Chicago Police Department veteran, Cato started at the Austin district as tactical lieutenant a little over three years ago before replacing the previous commander, Dwayne Betts, in December 2017. “When he became commander he was very involved,” said Rev. Steve M. Epting, pastor of Hope Community Church and a member of the CAPS Faith Based Committee. “He supported the efforts that the community had, including night walks, corner prayers and community connections training.” Cato helped develop and implement community-based programs such as the 100 Churches & 100 Blocks Program and the Austin Response Team (A.R.T.) during his time as commander. Cato, who has a master’s degree in public safety administration from Lewis University, also served the U.S. Department of State in South Africa, where he assisted in building community policing programs. “We’ve put something in place here where we have empowered the community to assist the police,” said Cato, who added it takes the community and police working together to reduce violence. Added Epting: “I’m sad to see him leave, but I’m also excited because he can help continue to formalize a more communityfriendly police organization.” Others like Rev. Ira Acree, pastor of the Greater St. John Bible Church, remembers past commanders and believes Cato’s successor will be filling some big shoes. “He took it to another level as it relates to police and community relations,” Acree said. “We’re a long way from where we used to be, and we appreciate that.” Replacing Cato as the Austin commander will be Yolanda Talley, who served as a watch operations lieutenant in the 15th District for two years and has 25 years of experience with the police department.

PASSING THE TORCH: Yolanda Talley, a watch operations lieutenant, will replace outgoing 15th District Commander Ernest Cato, who was recently promoted to deputy chief of patrol.

Housing Center appoints new director, lays out new plan Athena Williams, West Side activist, takes helm, looks to modernize Oak Park nonprofit

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During its annual benefit gala held Sept. 26 at the Nineteenth Century Club, 178 Forest Ave., the Oak Park Regional Housing Center took a major step forward into the future while honoring its rich past. Jay Readey, the Housing Center’s interim executive director, announced that West Sider Athena Williams, a program director with the nonprofit, would become the 47-year-old organization’s new permanent executive director. Williams and Readey also presented a strategic plan for the center that involves an effort to be more financially independent and more tech savvy. Williams was previously an assistant to the late Rev. Lewis Flowers, of the Westside Ministers Coalition. She also has experience as a Local School Council member in Chicago; as associate director of the Monroe Foundation, which provides homeownership services to people in Chicago and the suburbs; and as an administrative assistant to 37th Ward Ald. Emma Mitts. Williams has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin Madison and a variety of certifications in housing and financial counseling through NeighborWorks America, a national community development nonprofit, according to a statement released by the Housing Center last week. During the Sept. 26 gala, the Housing Center gave its Visionary Award to Rob Breymaier, the nonprofit’s executive director from 2006 to 2018, and presented its inaugural Roberta Raymond Founder’s Award — named after the organization’s tireless founder, who died in May — to Mark Finger, a landscape architect and longtime Housing Center volunteer. After receiving his award, Breymaier embraced Williams in what symbolized a moment of continuity and sustainability for an organization that was conceived in Raymond’s Grove Street living room and that, in its infancy, regularly convened in the basement of what is now First United Church of

TORCH PASSED: Jay Readey, interim director of the Oak Park Regional Housing Center, introduces the new permanent director, Athena Williams, during the center’s Annual Benefit Gala at the Nineteenth Century Club in Oak Park on Sept. 26. Oak Park. The center was formed in order to counteract what had become a national trend in the 1970s of whites leaving cities and innerring suburbs like Oak Park en masse after the federal government opened up housing opportunities to African Americans. As Wednesday Journal previously reported, “If whites wouldn’t live near blacks out of fear, the idea went, then the center would help break down the myths undergirding that fear. “Through advertising and by meeting with prospective homebuyers and renters, the center’s advisers seek to persuade them to consider areas in the village that they otherwise wouldn’t consider because of deeply held racial biases.” During the Sept. 26 gala, Breymaier re-

flected on the center’s legacy and urged those in attendance to keep striving to perfect the vision of inclusion and integration that has characterized Oak Park over the years. “This place is a visionary place,” he said. “It is what we want America to be, so let’s keep working at it. Let’s not stop and say, ‘We did enough.’ I can tell you in other communities where they [stopped], the place changed. … I’m so excited to hand this off to Athena.” “These are exciting times and she’s earned this opportunity,” Readey said of Williams. “She’s worked tirelessly to get us here. We elevated her some months ago to a staff management role to manage the change within the organization as we got ready to share with you the things we’re doing with the strategic plan.” Those plans include the Housing Center developing an app “to help people choose in-

clusive neighborhoods and make affirmative moves using the internet and using their phones” and deploying a “new client management system to track our data and produce reports to the village and to our partners and other stakeholders,” said Readey, who will stay involved with the Housing Center as a strategic adviser. “We are built on face-to-face relationships with apartment-seekers,” Readey said. “That puts a face on the inclusive values of Oak Park. That’s not going to be lost, but we have heard the message — we’ve got to get with the times.” Williams said the plan also entails the Housing Center becoming more financially independent. Currently, the nonprofit relies on the village of Oak Park to provide most of the funds for its signature Live in Oak Park program, which provides free apartment referral services for prospective renters. “As we continue our work and our mission, it’s really important that we become more independent [of government funding],” Williams said, before announcing the creation of the Roberta Raymond Housing Center Legacy Fund. “This is a marathon. This is a long race. The work we’re doing is generational. We want to grow that here and this is why it’s very important that we continue that legacy through a fund we’re establishing,” said Maggie Leininger, the Housing Center’s accounting manager. “We already have the Diversity Fund. We want to convert that and use that as seed money [for the new Legacy Fund].” In a statement, Williams said she looks forward to expanding the Housing Center’s presence in Oak Park and beyond. “We have a lot of work to continue in the footsteps of our founder, Roberta Raymond,” she said. “We plan to build upon our site presence in the Austin community, where we’re working to ensure affordable homeownership, while we continue to promote fair and open housing that encourages racial, gender, and economic inclusion in Oak Park.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

Welch bill would make college sports pay for student athletes Rep. Chris Welch’s bill duplicates California law allowing athletes to sign endorsement deals, hire agents

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois

SPRINGFIELD — An Illinois lawmaker is sponsoring a bill to allow college student athletes to sign endorsement deals, hire agents and benefit financially from the use of their likeness after California became the first state in the nation to pass such a law last week. “First and foremost, it’s about fairness and equity, and athletes being able to profit off their own names and their own likeness,” said Democratic Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch, of Hillside. Welch said universities make millions off student athletes each year, and the NCAA — the governing body that oversees college athletics — generates tens of billions of dollars each year. The association’s rules, however, prohibit endorsement deals and prevent student athletes from cashing in on the popularity of collegiate sports which they helped create, he said. Welch’s measure, House Bill 3904, duplicates the California law and states any association, including the NCAA, “may not prevent a student athlete … from earning compensation as a result of the use of the student’s name, image, or likeness.” The bill also prohibits the NCAA from barring

a university from competition if its athletes are compensated in such a manner, and prohibits universities from upholding any rules that ban endorsements. The bill would apply to both public and private universities. While it allows student athletes to hire agents, it does not pave the way for them to seek salaries or payment, outside of scholarships, from their college or university, Welch said. “The salary issue is completely separate and apart from an athlete being able to sign an endorsement deal to profit from their own name and their own likeness,” Welch said. “I have no concerns about this threatening the purity of the sport and amateur sports. …This is a very tightly-written bill that I think takes that concern into consideration and eliminates it.” Welch said the bill does prohibit a student athlete from receiving an endorsement from a direct competitor to a partner organization of their university. “For instance, if the university has a contract with Under Armour, players can’t sign a deal with Nike,” he said. The NCAA opposed California’s efforts to pass such a bill. “As a membership organization, the NCAA agrees changes are needed to continue to support student-athletes, but improvement

needs to happen on a national level through the NCAA’s rules-making process,” the association said in a statement. “As more states consider their own specific legislation related to this topic, it is clear that a patchwork of different laws from different states will make unattainable the goal of providing a fair and level playing field for 1,100 campuses and nearly half a million student-athletes nationwide.” The association said it will “consider next steps in California” while its members “move forward with ongoing efforts to make adjustments to NCAA name, image and likeness rules.” A statement from the Pac-12 athletic conference, which is home to some of California’s largest and most competitive schools, said the conference “is disappointed in the passage” of the California law. “This legislation will lead to the professionalization of college sports and many unintended consequences related to this professionalism, imposes a state law that conflicts with national rules, will blur the lines for how California universities recruit student-athletes and compete nationally, and will likely reduce resources and opportunities for student-athletes in Olympic sports and have a negative disparate

impact on female student-athletes,” the conference said in the statement. Like the California bill, Welch’s measure would take effect in 2023. The reason for the grace period is to allow for an expected legal challenge, Welch said. “I think it’ll be challenged in court because the NCAA has a bottomless pit of money,” he said. “It makes millions off of student athletes every year. And that’s why in the California law and my bill, the effective dates don’t start until 2023. In anticipation, you know, of having this resolved via the court.” Welch said California’s action on the matter means Illinois must act to stay competitive on a recruiting basis. “From a recruiting standpoint, we need to be on par with the law in California. That’s an amazing recruiting tool for their coaches and those universities in California,” he said. “And that means time is of the essence.” Welch said he wants to move the bill, which has gained one Republican and six Democratic co-sponsors since it was filed on Sept. 30, when the General Assembly returns for fall veto session on Oct. 28. A request for comment from the University of Illinois was not immediately returned on Oct. 1. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

EDITOR’S perspective

Puncturing the myth of the ‘student athlete’

By MICHAEL ROMAIN

Editor

his week, state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th), a Maywood native whose district encompasses most of Proviso Township, introduced a bill that would allow athletes who play sports at four-year public and private universities in Illinois to be compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness. Welch’s bill was introduced on the same day that California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that allows college athletes to get paid from endorsement deals and to hire agents. Welch’s bill and California’s new law together pierce one of the biggest myths in sports — the “student-athlete.” The “student-athlete” holds the same mystique and reverence as Santa Clause. Most adults know he doesn’t exist, but most adults nonetheless help perpetuate the myth. And that’s fine — when it comes to Santa Clause. That’s not OK when it comes to the “student-athlete,” particularly if you understand how it originated. Those origins, as the civil rights historian Taylor Branch writes, “lie not in a disinterested ideal but in a sophistic formulation designed, as

the sports economist Andrew Zimbalist has written, to help the NCAA in its ‘fight against workmen’s compensation insurance claims for injured football players.’” The term “student-athlete,” Branch explains, “came into play in the 1950s, when the widow of Ray Dennison, who had died from a head injury received while playing football in Colorado for the Fort Lewis A&M Aggies, filed for workmen’s-compensation death benefits. “Did his football scholarship make the fatal collision a ‘work-related’ accident? Was he a school employee, like his peers who worked part-time as teaching assistants and bookstore cashiers? Or was he a fluke victim of extracurricular pursuits? Given the hundreds of incapacitating injuries to college athletes each year, the answers to these questions had enormous consequences. The Colorado Supreme Court ultimately agreed with the school’s contention that he was not eligible for benefits, since the college was ‘not in the football business.’” The NCAA has used the term “studentathlete” as a legal shield to fight against a string of liability lawsuits and to avoid having to pay big-time college athletes, many of them black and brown, what they’re worth. “The term student-athlete was deliber-

WISING UP: Lebron James supports measures to allow student athletes at universities the ability to get compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness. ately ambiguous,” Branch writes. “College players were not students at play (which might understate their athletic obligations), nor were they just athletes in college (which might imply they were professionals). That they were high-performance athletes meant they could be forgiven for not meeting the academic standards of their peers; that they were students meant they did not have to be compensated, ever, for anything more than the cost of their studies. Student-athlete be-

came the NCAA’s signature term, repeated constantly in and out of courtrooms.” Talking to reporters about his support of California’s new law, which the NCAA, predictably, calls unconstitutional, Lebron James, who opted to bypass the plantationlike system of big-time college athletics when he went straight to the NBA from high school, put the matter most succinctly. What if he had gone to college? “For sure, I would’ve been any one of those kids if I’d have went off to Ohio State or any one of these big-time colleges where that 23 jersey would’ve gotten sold all over the place — without my name on the back, but everybody would’ve known the likeness,” James said. “My body would’ve been on the NCAA basketball game 2004, and the Schottenstein Center [where Ohio State’s basketball team plays] would have been sold out every single night, if I was there. Me and my mom, we didn’t have anything. We wouldn’t have been able to benefit at all from it. And the university would’ve been able to capitalize on everything.” Now, that’s an education that a college scholarship can’t buy. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

presents A Wednesday Journal & A Tribe Called Aging Production

wabi sabi F I L M F E S T I V A L

Appreciating the beauty of impermanence, a quarterly Film Series encouraging everyone to embrace and respect our aging population and the transformation of our society.

First Film Event: Friday, October 25th

On Golden Pond

The Lake Theatre, 1022 Lake Street, Oak Park 10am, film presentation followed by discussion • Admission: $2

What the heck is the Wabi Sabi Film Festival?

t the Lake Theater in downtown Oak Park! Friday morning, Oct. 25, 10 a.m. On Golden Pond. Tickets are $2 each. Yep, $2.00.

This is a film festival about aging, a film festival for older people, though everyone is welcome to attend. Following the film, stay in your seats; we’ll have an interactive discussion about topics from each film. Every three months we’ll show a different film connected to the theme of aging, with a guest celebrity, followed by interactive discussion (we reached out to Jane). And the Lake Theatre popcorn is mouth-wateringly delicious! The first film to be shown in the Wabi Sabi Film Festival is On Golden Pond, starring Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda (with Jane).

Admission: $2 • Tickets available day of event at The Lake Theatre, 1022 Lake St, Oak Park Signature Sponsor

By the way, wabi sabi isn’t the green spicy stuff at the sushi restaurant. It is the Japanese world view that appreciates the beauty of impermanence. As I write in my current blog on the IONS website (noetic.org/blog/aging-is-inherently- noetic/): The Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi is an appreciation of the beauty of impermanence — like the wooden banister in an aging house, stroked by thousands of hands over the years, wobbly, chipped, out of alignment, yet oh so beautiful. Teenagers strive for instant Wabi Sabi by buying already torn and ripped blue jeans, but they fall short. Wabi Sabi takes time, as does reaching our noetic phase of life. And like that aged wooden bannister, older people can be wrinkled and wobbly and still be beautiful people.

Patron Sponsors

Host and moderator, Elizabeth White, author of 55, Underemployed and Faking Normal. Ms. White will introduce the film and facilitate the in-theater interactive discussion following the movie.
