Mayor responds after three shooting incidents Rory Hoskins said in video released Jan. 12 that ‘public is not in danger’ and that all three shootings appear to be connected By ANDY VIANO Editor

Three people were injured in three separate shooting incidents in Forest Park on Jan. 11, a surge of gun violence that prompted Mayor Rory Hoskins to release a video reassuring residents that the village remains a safe place. In his video released the day after the incidents, Hoskins said all three shootings were believed to be related and that, “we feel that the general public is not in danger and is not threatened by [the Jan. 11] shootings.” “After having examined all the available evidence and interviewed witnesses, and then re-interview witnesses in some cases, the police department has determined that all three shootings arose out of a very particular dispute,” Hoskins said in a video filmed near the site of the day’s first shooting at the intersection of Desplaines Avenue and Harrison Street. Earlier on Jan. 12, police department officials confirmed the first two incidents were related since a boyfriend and girlfriend were each injured in separate shootings, both on Harrison Street. No one was injured in the third shooting, which occurred late the previous night and left a residence in the 600 block of See SHOOTING on page 6

Mass vaccination site reopens at Forest Park mall Immunizations, including booster doses, available at former HOBO store on Roosevelt Road By ANDY VIANO Editor

The Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) reopened a mass vaccination site at the former Home Owners Bargain Outlet (HOBO) store at 7630 W. Roosevelt Rd., on Tuesday, Jan. 18. The reopening marks a return to Forest Park Plaza for public health officials who first created a mass vaccination site there last March, just as the COVID-19 vaccines were being rolled out to the general public. The site closed in July as demand for the vaccine waned. The HOBO store closed its doors in 2018 after its parent company filed for bankruptcy. More than 85% of Forest Park residents had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as of Monday, Jan. 17, but just 63.9% were fully vaccinated, and the reopening of the mass immunization site comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expanded its recommendations for booster doses. On Jan. 5, the CDC adjusted its recommendations to say that anyone age 12 to 17 is now eligible to receive a booster dose five months after receiving their second shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which is the

Booster doses were already recommended for any adult who had received the full vaccine series from any of the three drugmakers — Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. The vaccine clinic at Forest Park Plaza will operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Forest Park Community Garden opens waitlist Available plots to be awarded at end of February By FOREST PARK REVIEW Interested Forest Park gardeners are invited to join the waitlist for the Forest Park Community Garden in preparation for the 2022 growing season.

Ruling on shuttered bar’s appeal could come this week Tap Room asked state commission to reinstate license pulled last year By ANDY VIANO Editor

The Forest Park Tap Room could find out as early as this week whether it will be allowed by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC) to reopen on Madison Street following an appeal of its village-revoked license. The bar at 7321 Madison St. had a tumultuous 10 months in business, racking up two citations from the village before a third violation on July 31 led Mayor Rory Hoskins, acting in his dual capacity as the village’s liquor commissioner, to revoke the bar’s license, saying at the time that “the license to sell alcohol in the village of Forest Park is a privilege.” The Tap Room’s license was officially revoked on Aug. 26, but the business filed an appeal with the state oversight board, the ILCC, in September and had its appeal heard via video conference on Dec. 8. The ILCC will hold its monthly board meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 19, and as of Monday a discussion of the Forest Park Tap Room’s appeal was one of the items on the posted agenda. Forest Park Tap Room opened in October 2020 and the bar’s attorney, Mark Johnson, told the ILCC that from the beginning the bar had “been the victim of quite a bit of harassment by the village of Forest Park.” The bar, owned by brothers Lance and Hansel Law, was cited by the village in April and June 2021, serving a suspension in one instance. In its appeal, Johnson said the prior citations came down to a “miscommunication” and that the bar did not fight those

The interior of the Forest Park Tap Room. allegations “in an effort to garner favor with the local police department and community.” Hoskins, in ultimately deciding to pull the bar’s liquor license, said it was an accumulation of issues that led to his decision, not a single incident. But it is a single incident that is at the heart of the appeal to the ILCC. Just after closing time on Saturday, July 31, Forest Park Police Sgt. Daniel Pater entered the bar, informed a table of people eating at the table that the bar was closed and ordered all patrons to leave. Several people left the bar at that point and Pater cited the bar’s own-

ers for operating after legal bar hours. Whether the people who left the bar were, in fact, patrons of the establishment, was at the heart of the Dec. 8 appeal hearing. Johnson argued that everyone in the bar was an employee and that the one person who had firsthand knowledge of that fact, Hansel Law, testified to their FILE employment status in front of the Forest Park Liquor Commission in August. Johnson chastised Pater for his “assumption” that the people inside the bar were not employees and argued that if the people inside the bar were working at the time, the citation for remaining open beyond authorized hours would be invalid. At the time, bars like Forest Park Tap Room were required to close at midnight. Attorney Veronica Bonilla-Lopez, representing the village, countered that Pater was under no obligation to ask whether or not the people inside the bar were customers, and the fact that some people left when Pater asked “patrons” to leave was evidence

that indeed they were customers and not bar workers. “None of them stated they were employees, nor was it the sergeant’s obligation to ask them, ‘Oh, wait, are you employees?’” Bonilla-Lopez said. “It was clear that patrons needed to leave. Those individuals left.” Bonilla-Lopez also said that the sergeant observed at least two people inside the bar who were intoxicated when he arrived. Johnson also disputed that description, saying Pater assumed one woman was intoxicated solely because she was “loud.” The decision now falls to the ILCC, which is expected to issue a ruling, with a quorum of members present, on Jan. 19. The ruling is not final, however, until a written order is issued, and both parties will have 20 days to appeal that ruling once the written decision is filed. Forest Park Tap Room was one of several bars cited multiple times by the village during a tumultuous spring and early summer last year, in which several late-night incidents in and around downtown bars prompted the village council to briefly roll back operating hours. One bar, Pioneer Tap, was cited after a dispute inside the bar spilled over into an incident on the street, but the bar was not disciplined following a hearing in front of the liquor commission late last year. Another bar, Lantern Haus, filed a federal lawsuit against the village after its license was suspended following a fight outside the bar in late July. The bar’s license was reinstated in August after it appealed the village’s suspension to the ILCC.

Lantern Haus appeal to be heard Jan. 25 Judge grants stay in the case until the state liquor commission meets By ANDY VIANO Editor

A U.S. District Court judge has temporarily halted proceedings between the village of Forest Park and a Madison Street bar, Lantern Haus, pending the resolution of a scheduled hearing on Jan. 25 in front of the Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC). Judge Charles Norgle Sr. granted a stay of the case in November but ordered earlier this month that the parties must file a status report with the court following the ILCC hearing. That hearing relates to an appeal of a 20-day suspension of the bar’s liquor license that was handed down by Mayor Rory Hoskins, in his capacity as liquor commissioner, last summer. Hoskins found that the bar violated a village nuisance ordinance because a fight near the bar included a man who was in an altercation at a pop-up event hosted by Lantern Haus earlier on the evening of June 25, according to the bar’s appeal.

Hoskins suspended the bar’s license on Aug. 18, but that suspension was lifted when Lantern Haus sued the village in federal court. The lawsuit, filed by the bar’s owner, Patrick Jacknow, accuses the village and Hoskins of “continued harassment” and says the bar was treated differently from other bars on the same street, citing several alleged examples of incidents in recent years that did not result in the same punishment. “[The village is] singling out Lantern Haus for negative treatment and unevenly applying the law without any rational basis to do so,” the lawsuit reads. Regarding the incident on June 25, the lawsuit and appeal claim that Lantern Haus staff called Forest Park police to the scene when the first altercation occurred inside the bar’s pop-up event area and that police found the area was “calm” when they arrived. It was only after their arrival that a fight broke out in the street nearby, but not on the Lantern Haus premises, the lawsuit alleges.

Latest COVID surge shows signs of slowing Cases remain high but pace of new infections tapers off slightly By ANDY VIANO Editor

There are signs that the latest COVID-19 surge is slowing according to the most recent data provided by the Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH). As of Jan. 11, the last time data was published before the Review went to print, the rolling seven-day average of new COVID cases in the area covered by the CCPDH — most of Cook County but not Chicago, Oak Park or a handful of other municipalities — dipped below 3,000 per day for the first time since Dec. 20. But the average of 2,964 new cases was still higher than the previous peak of the pandemic in November 2020. Other indicators continue to indicate high transmission in the community, including a 19% test positivity rate, and an increasing number of total cases and deaths. As of Jan. 14, more than 435,000 people in the CCDPH footprint had tested positive for COVID-19 and more that 5,500 people had died. In Forest Park, the fast-spreading omicron variant is still running rampant but, like countywide, is starting to slow ever so slightly. The CCDPH does not publish pre-

cise case data by village but a graph indicating viral spread has started to tip to a more horizontal plane after several weeks of an almost vertical climb to previously unprecedented levels. But the impacts of the omicron surge are still being felt here and, in an increasing number of instances, costing Forest Parkers their lives. There have now been 2,332 confirmed cases of COVID-19 among Forest Park residents since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, but a whopping 847 of those cases (36.3%) have come since the start of November. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office also reported that a 38th Forest Park resident died from COVID-19 on Jan. 13. Of the 38 deaths, seven have been recorded since Dec. 14. Forest Park residents do tend to be well-vaccinated, at least relative to the com-

and effective way to protect against the virus. Unvaccinated individuals are at much greater risk both for COVID-19 infection and for developing serious medical complications as a result of the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

munities that are monitored by the CCDPH, with 85.8% of Forest Parkers having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 63.9% with a “complete vaccine series.” Countywide, those numbers are 80.9% and 61.1%, respectively. The COVID-19 vaccines remain a safe

Grisly photos received after turning down date

A 36-year-old man told Forest Park police that he received “graphic photos of dismembered bodies” after he declined to compensate a woman for a physical relationship. According to a police report, the man said he met a woman at a Chicago bar and, after exchanging numbers, she told him he would have to pay if he wanted their relationship to “go any further and get physical.” The man was not interested in that arrangement. The following day, the man received unsettling texts and was told to send the texter $1,000 via a mobile payment app “for disrespecting [one] of his ladies.” Additional texts came from a mapping app that told the man he was being watched. The man never sent any money to the texter. A Forest Park police officer noted that the photos sent in this case mirrored other reported scams, something the officer wrote seemed to provide some comfort to the man.

Woman who drank ‘so much’ crashes into parked car

the back seat of the car, but closer inspection revealed she was the vehicle’s only occupant. The second vehicle was found unoccupied. After taking the woman to an ambulance, officers asked the woman how much she had been drinking and she responded, “so much.” She was then transported to the hospital where a breath sample was taken, revealing a blood alcohol content of .232, nearly three times the legal limit to operate a vehicle. The woman has been charged with driving under the influence.

Man stabs brother with scissors

A 29-year-old Chicago woman was arrested early on the morning of Jan. 9 after she crashed her vehicle into a parked car near Circle Avenue and Jackson Boulevard. Forest Park police responded to the scene of a two-vehicle crash around 3:20 a.m. and found a woman in the driver’s seat of one of the vehicles with “an odor of alcohol emitting from her person” and bloodshot, glassy eyes. The woman told police a child was in

An argument inside the Chicago Transit Authority Blue Line station escalated to the point where a 50-year-old man allegedly stabbed his brother in the chin with a pair of scissors. Forest Park police were dispatched to the station at 711 Desplaines Ave. a little after 4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 11, and were told two men had been arguing inside the terminal.

The three shootings

Harlem Avenue riddled with bullets. As of Jan. 12, no one had been arrested in any of the incidents and Hoskins urged residents or business owners near the crime scenes to turn over any surveillance video, including video from doorbell cameras, to law enforcement. Hoskins also used the opportunity to promote the village’s forthcoming video surveillance system that was approved at the village council meeting on Jan. 10. The new 11-camera system will cover most of the village’s highest-trafficked areas and Hoskins said the cameras will be installed “in the coming months” to give law enforcement a major leg up in solving cases like these three shootings. “These cameras are intended to provide, to some extent a deterrent effect, but [also] an ability to help us investigate crimes that occurred in Forest Park,” he said. “These are very high-resolution cameras that can

The first shooting took place early on the morning of Jan. 11, around 5:15 a.m., as a pregnant 19-year-old woman was driving home from her first day of work. When the woman stopped at a red light at the intersection of Harrison and Desplaines Avenue, a white Jeep SUV turned alongside her car and someone inside opened fire. The woman was shot in the thigh but drove to her home on Desplaines after the shooting before calling police. She was later taken to the hospital for evaluation. She told police she could not identify the shooter. When police arrived at the woman’s home, her boyfriend — who was the registered owner of the vehicle the woman was driving — was there. He told officers he was not in the car at the time of the shooting. Police recovered several 9 mm shell casings from the shooting scene. Later on Jan. 11, around 2:30 p.m., three people, including the first victim’s boyfriend, were in a vehicle traveling near the

The argument allegedly escalated after one brother told the other that they would not be allowed to live with their mother. The suspect allegedly then used a small pair of scissors to stab his brother’s chin and police observed a small cut on the second man’s face. A witness told police that she told the men to break it up or she would call the police. The suspect later handed that person a pair of scissors and told her to throw them into the trash, which she did. Police recovered the scissors from the garbage.

Employee attacked inside store An employee at a Madison Street liquor store was taken to the hospital after two would-be thieves allegedly attacked him on Monday, Jan. 11. Forest Park police arrived at the store in the 7400 block of Madison Street and found the employee bloodied but still able to describe the attack. The victim told police he saw two men walk into the store, one browsing the liquor selection and the other attempting to buy cigars. At some point, the man in the liquor section reportedly tried to conceal a tequila bottle in his coat, at which point the employee asked the men to leave. After someone began calling 911, the men confronted the employee and allegedly attacked him. In the process, the victim was struck by several liquor bottles as they fell to the floor. The men then jumped in a vehicle and left the scene. The employee was transported to the hos-

intersection of Harrison and Circle Avenue when a light-colored SUV pulled alongside them and someone inside opened fire. The three occupants of the car fired upon near Harrison and Circle drove themselves to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood where at least one of the three was interviewed by police. One of the occupants had been shot in the triceps. Another occupant of the vehicle was shot in the abdomen and was unable to speak to officers while undergoing “extensive medical treatment,” according to a police report. Again in that case, the targets of the shooting said they did not know who had shot at them and could not provide vehicle description. Officers identified a “lightcolored SUV” as the source of the gunfire based on surveillance footage from a nearby business. Forest Park police at the scene of the second shooting, at Harrison and Circle, recovered at least 11 shell casings and an extended handgun magazine. The shell casings recovered at that scene also came from a 9 mm weapon, although it is undetermined whether it is the same weapon used in the earlier shooting.

pital for his injuries.

Suspected tracking device placed on vehicle A man came to the Forest Park Police Department after he believed someone placed a GPS tracking device on the undercarriage of his vehicle, something he said was possibly related to an ongoing lawsuit. According to a police report, the man’s vehicle was parked in the 400 block of Elgin Avenue on Jan. 13 when he was informed that “a white male wearing nice clothing” stepped out of a luxury car and placed something under his vehicle before driving away. The man then retrieved the device, which was wrapped in a grocery bag with “red and black wires protruding,” and brought it to the police department. The man told officers his lawyer instructed him to come to the police to report the incident, but the man was unwilling to divulge any details about the lawsuit he believed was related to the supposed tracking device’s use. The suspicious device was inspected and taken into evidence. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, Jan. 2-13, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

Finally, a little after 11:45 p.m., officers were called to the 600 block of Harlem Avenue, near the intersection of Harlem and Interstate 290, after residents reported hearing numerous shots fired. Officers made their way to a rear entrance of the residence and saw significant evidence of gunfire, apparently coming from the alley. In total, they found seven bullet holes in the rear entrance door and additional evidence of at least four more shots fired into the walls and windows. No one was injured. The residents of the home said they did not know who had a motive to shoot at them and did not know why they were targeted. It is unclear how the third shooting is related to the first two incidents. Bullets and shell casings discovered at the Harlem Avenue crime scene also came from a 9 mm weapon. Anyone with video footage that could assist law enforcement, or who has additional information that could be valuable to the investigation, is asked to call the Forest Park Police Department at 708-366-2425.

TESTING SITES AG urges caution from page 1 waiting. “I still have never received the results and never received an explanation for why I haven’t received the results,” said Jane Sutphen of Oak Park, one of many people who shared a negative testing experience with Growing Community Media. Sutphen got tested Dec. 8 at a pop-up site in a strip mall storefront at 6325 W. North Ave. in Oak Park. When she went, the site was operating under the name of Northshore Clinical Labs, which Sutphen thought was a subset of NorthShore University Health System. In actuality, the Northshore Clinical Labs has no affiliation with the hospital group. Sutphen now believes the lab’s name intentionally misleading. “I think they’re doing it to deceive,” said Sutphen. She said the site itself was unsanitary and that staff were not at all strict about masking. Sutphen filed a complaint with the Oak Park Public Health Department but learned that COVID-19 testing sites are out of its jurisdiction. Likewise, the Cook County Department of Public Health and even the Illinois Department of Public Health have no regulatory control over the sites, which operate under a variety of names, including Center for Covid Control, Covid Center of Chicago, Free Covid Testing Site and Northshore Clinical Labs. The names of labs also sometimes change. A reporter visiting the North Avenue site Sutphen used found it empty and padlocked, with sign on the glass door that had a variety of company names, including Grapefruit Health and PSK Clinics.

“Regrettably, due to our rapid growth and the unprecedented recent demand for testing, we haven’t been able to meet all our commitments,” said Center for Covid Control founder and CEO Aleya Siyaj in a press release. In her LinkedIn profile online, Siyaj lists herself as CEO of BullsEye Axe Throwing Lounge in Barrington Hills. She also previously served as CEO of a donut company. The company’s announcement also coincided with news reported Jan. 14 by USA Today that Center for Covid Control’s primary lab partner was under investigation by a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the wake of other investigations undertaken by the Oregon Department of Justice and the Better Business Bureau.

other pop-up testing sites in Oak Park, Forest Park and North Riverside, sometimes operating under the Free Covid Testing Site (FCTS) name. Ramona Ramos-Sullivan and her husband only just received their results Jan. 10, after getting tested Christmas Eve at the Northshore Clinical Labs location operating out of the former CVS Pharmacy at 216 Circle Ave. in Forest Park. “I tried calling the lab several times, and nobody answers,” Ramos-Sullivan said. “It just kept ringing.” Gregory Palivos, the managing partner of that Northshore location, did not return Growing Community Media’s request for comment. Jane Brencic went to a Northshore/FCTS testing site in a pod set up in the parking lot of the North Riverside Park Mall, 7501 Cer-

Last week, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul cautioned residents thinking about using pop-up test sites, saying his office “cannot confirm the legitimacy of individual pop-up testing locations.” “The increased need for testing has also resulted in testing shortages, leading people to visit so-called ‘pop-up’ testing locations,” Raoul said in the statement. “It is important for people to know that these sites are not licensed or regulated by a government agency, and they should ask questions before visiting a pop-up testing location – or try to utilize a state-sponsored testing site.” Following an inquiry by Growing Community Media late last week, the Center for Covid Control announced that it was temporarily shutting down all of its locations, including its sites at 9219 Broadway Ave. in Brookfield, 1527 Harlem Ave. in Forest Park and 200 N. Oak Park Ave. in Oak Park. The company said the temporary shutdown, which was to last through Jan. 22, was due to the operational strain from customer demand.

People who have been tested at pop-up sites told Growing Community Media had a variety of reactions to their visits, from believing staff were overwhelmed to feeling scammed by a get-rich-quick scheme. There was consensus, however, among those who shared their experiences: Each said they would not recommend that others utilize pop-up testing locations. The city of Berwyn terminated its contract with Northshore Clinical Labs early last month due to the company’s failure to deliver test results to patients. Northshore Clinical Labs conducted two Berwyn community testing events prior to its Dec. 3 dismissal. A drive-up testing event scheduled for Dec. 6 was canceled. “Their inability to provide test results in a timely manner and in the prescribed timeline they had agreed to, left me no choice but to leave North Shore Testing and seek other testing labs,” Berwyn Emergency Management Coordinator Tony J. Laureto wrote in a statement dated Dec. 7. Northshore Clinical Labs is connected to

mak Road, on Dec. 21 because it was offering drive-up testing. She got both a rapid test and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, the latter of which takes longer to process. While her rapid test came back negative, she was told she would receive the results of her PCR results within five days. Brencic received her negative PCR result a full 15 days after being tested. The site has since closed. A visit to the site on Jan. 14 found the signage taken down and left folded up inside. Brencic’s husband, Dave, had a similar experience with a Northshore/FCTS site at 321A S. Harlem Ave. in Forest Park. He received his PCR test result 13 days after his nasal cavity was swabbed. “People are really desperate to find a place to get a result,” said Dave Brencic. Growing Community Media has reached out to Muhammad Khan, the managing partner of the 321A S. Harlem Ave. testing site, for comment. Northshore/FCTS also operates the site at 2704 Harlem Ave. in Riverside, which was still seeing clients as of Jan. 14. The name

of the company on a 2022 business license application for 2704 Harlem Ave., obtained by Growing Community Media through a public records request, was Northwest Testing LLC. The manager of that company is listed by the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office as Syed Bilgrami of Gilberts, Illinois. Hasnain Bligrami, an apparent relative of Syed Bligrami, refers to himself as the “small business owner” of Northwest Testing on his LinkedIn page. The contact person listed on the Riverside business license application is “Hass” with an email address referring to a company called Elite Testing which is also managed by Syed Bilgrami, according to Illinois Secretary of State records. The actual 2022 business license on file with the village of Riverside refers to the 2704 Harlem Ave. business as “Center for Covid Control.” It is unclear whether the testing site is still affiliated with Center for Covid Control, but Hass Bilgrami was that company’s spokesman when the pop-up site first opened at that location in May 2021. The site at 2704 Harlem Avenue and the recently shuttered one at the North Riverside Park Mall are connected. The company applying for a business license in North Riverside last year was Northshore Clinical Lab, according to records obtained by Growing Community Media on file with the village. Syed Bilgrami is listed as the “manager” of the company in the application. Hass Bilgrami did not respond to attempts to reach him. Neither Syed nor Hass Bilgrami had backgrounds in medical testing prior to their involvement in the pop-up sites, according to their personal LinkedIn pages. Syed Bilgrami formerly worked as an account executive for Comcast and for a T-Mobile retailer. Hass Bilgrami worked as an account executive for Verizon and owns a boat rental company. While many of the pop-up sites that sprang up last fall have closed or have paused operations due to an avalanche of complaints and heightened scrutiny, some municipalities have been able to shut down sites, which can operate after obtaining a certificate from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The village of Oak Park successfully shut one down on Dec. 30, but only was able to because it was operating without a business license. Called Covid Centers of Chicago while in business, the testing site was located in storefront previously occupied by Snow White dry cleaners at 40 W. Chicago Ave. On top of not having a business license, the site’s proprietor, Zafar Hussain, was slapped with 15 other citations for several safety infractions, including failure to maintain heat, failure to maintain water supply in washrooms and failure to remove chemicals from the dry cleaning plant. Hussain’s hearing with the village is scheduled for Jan. 20.

Sculptor brought to life by small-town historians

ever underestimate the power of smalltown historians. Thanks to the late Dr. Frank Orland, the statue “The Death of Cleopatra” was rescued from obscurity. Another small-town historian, Bobbi Reno, led the efforts to honor the statue’s sculptor, Edmonia Lewis. Reno heads the historical society in Lewis’ hometown of East Greenbush, New York. Her championing of the Native American/African American sculptor has culminated in The United States Postal Service (USPS) issuing an Edmonia Lewis Black Heritage Forever Stamp on Jan. 26. The Black Heritage stamp series began in 1978 with a stamp honoring Harriet Tubman. Over the years, the series has honored Black leaders, inventors, educators, scientists, entrepreneurs, athletes and entertainers. Lewis is the first internationally recognized Black American sculptor to be honored. The Lewis stamp took years of effort to be issued. Reno had never heard of Lewis, who was born in East Greenbush in 1844, until an acquaintance told her of the acclaimed sculptor. Reno immediately began researching Lewis. Her biggest discovery was Lewis’ grave in London’s St. Mary’s Cemetery. When she saw how neglected the gravesite was, she raised funds to have it restored. Her next campaign was to have a stamp issued to honor Lewis. In 2019, she completed the application to the USPS.

Church invites community to see MLK speak By JILL WAGNER Contributor

In the January 26, 1961 edition of the Forest Park Review, a notice was placed from St. Peter’s Lutheran Church to remind the community that the Senior League was taking a trip to listen to Martin Luther King, who was appearing at the Sunday Evening Club at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. Dr. King appeared at the Sunday Evening Club on seven occasions: Jan. 12, 1958; April 19, 1959; Feb. 21, 1960; Jan. 29, 1961; April 15, 1962; Jan. 27, 1963; March 14, 1965. The Senior League at St. Peters would repeat the trip in the future years. The Historical Society of Forest Park is interested in learning more about these trips and the follow up discussions in the community. Please email forestparkhistory1975@gmail. com if you have more information to share from St. Peter’s trips or discussions.

The Jan. 26, 1961 edition of the Forest Park Review included an announcement about an upcoming speech and appearance by Martin Luther King Jr. in Chicago.

OPINION O U R

V I E W

Stay safe out there

e recall a suburban police chief once telling us after a short spate of nerve-wracking murders that what his town needed was a “good old wife clocks husband with a heavy pot” murder. Then, said the chief, he could announce it was an isolated incident and no one had reason to fear. Fast forward to 2022 and Forest Park last week experienced a single day with three shootings. No one died but bullets flying twice between cars along major streets and then toward a house on Harlem is certainly unsettling to most everyone. In stepped Mayor Rory Hoskins with a video, both praised and panned, in which he says not to worry. All three shootings were clearly related and resulted from “a very particular dispute,” said Hoskins. A fight settled with firearms is the unspoken implication. And since most residents of Forest Park were not part of the fight, the message from the mayor, is that they are safe. Sort of. Maybe. But when speeding cars trade gun shots, there is trauma that goes beyond being hit by a bullet. We don’t have a solution. Maybe the surveillance cameras approved just last week by the village council could prove to be either or both a deterrent or a crime-solving tool. The underlying issue, and one America’s politicians refuse to solve, is the explosion of guns on our streets. We are not hopeful about progress on that front. But there is no denying that these random, but not actually random, shootings are becoming more common in suburbs, previously seen as safe from this mayhem. So take comfort from video balm if you can. But mainly, stay safe out there.

St. Pat’s parade and omicron

It was the last gasp of normal way back in the before times of 2020 as Forest Park snuck in its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade just before the whole world closed down as COVID set in. Two optimistic efforts to schedule the parade in 2021 — one in March, one in September — proved ultimately too optimistic. Each was cancelled in turn as COVID held strong. The event’s determined sponsor, the Forest Park Chamber of Commerce, did manage to stage a 2021 comeback for the giddy and ghoulish Casket Races and for a modified version of the Holiday Walk. Both were fully outdoor events which makes for a safer COVID moment. Since then the full brunt of the omicron variant of COVID has settled like a germ-filled cloud over much of America. And while the parade is a rain or shine, sleet or snow undertaking that stretches along much of Madison Street, it is the indoor drinking aftermath of the parade that is problematic. We’re still two months out. There are early reports that the omicron surge may dissipate as quick as it came on. If St. Patrick drove snakes out of Ireland, perhaps he can snuff out omicron in Forest Park. Time for a prayer.

Feeling sick but staying positive

I got the rapid negative result from the Proviso Math and Science Academy covid hut today, but I am disappointed, in a way, to not get the positive mark. The random chills, general tiredness and a sneeze that has prevented me from leaving my house for the past few days cannot be psychosomatic. I am not mentioning this to get any vote of sympathy, because I really do feel fine, and the need for a nap and being home without the energy to get things done is just a minor inconvenience. It is making me think more about my new year goals and overall vision quest. I do make new year resolutions, and right now some are on pause. I am not quite able to get back in the gym or go out for a walk, but I can continue my small changes and adjust my point of view to stay on point. I’ve been busy between naps with digital shopping followed by abandoning my digital cart. It is so satisfying to fill a cart with loaves of Katich bakery bread (from the Oak Park Farmers Market). Another cart filled with art supplies beyond what I can afford sit unpurchased, and I have a cart filled with dozens of heirloom seeds in the virtual basket that will never

get purchased, never get planted, but for a moment become part of my daydream. The time to plant indoors is approaching so it is time dream of a garden of heirloom vegetables and petite violas is in full swing, the grand garden plans that are a part of my annual vision. It really builds my appreciation of my fellow gardening friends gardens who also aspire to be well organized, simple and focused. I have another goal this year, which is to be a steady volunteer. Tom Holmes’ article last week, “Volunteer supply chain shortages” on this national day of service to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, really rang home with me. I have appreciated people who have helped me when I have needed a volunteer or two or three, and it seems like it might be time for me to payback with some service. I guess this short setback is just practice for having the grace and patience to get through the hurdles that will come to the year. Spring is just around the corner and as we all hunker down for the final weeks of winter, I hope all my fellow Forest Parkers are staying healthy and positive this January. Soon we will all see one another again.

Sweet home, Chicago Oak Parker’s new book highlights 50 of area’s most striking houses By LACEY SIKORA

Contributing Reporter

ak Parker Pat Cannon has long immersed himself in the architecture and history of Oak Park and the greater Chicago area. From volunteering at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio to teaming up with photographer James Caulfield on six books that cover architecture, Cannon has been active in the community for decades. The pandemic didn’t put a stop to the prolific writer’s work. Much of his new book, “At Home in Chicago: A Living History of Domestic Architecture,” was compiled while COVID-19 was wreaking havoc on the work lives of many. For Cannon, the pandemic’s biggest work challenge was shipping related. Delays pushed the arrival of the books and the publication date back by a few months.

PROVIDED

Pat Cannon Published at the end of 2021, the book covers more than 50 of the Chicago area’s most striking homes over the 184-year history of the city. Featured homes include ones built before the Chicago Fire of 1871, Gilded Age mansions, Depression-era apartments, midcentury modern houses and contemporary homes. Cannon says he started with some of the oldest surviving buildings in Chicago that

date to the 1830s and moved decade by decade. The only criterion for inclusion was that the house had to still be in existence. When it came to making the final selection of homes to feature, Cannon says he and Caulfield started with a very long list. “For whatever reason, some homeowners say no to having their homes featured,” See CANNON on page B3

CANNON

Covers 184 years from page B1 Cannon said. “We ended up photographing more homes than we can include, then winnow it down from there.” Cannon says the earliest residences featured are log cabins. “They tend to be owned by park districts or historical societies,” he said. “The cabin in Norwood Park is the oldest in the city. It was built in the 1830s then added onto.” There are few homes predating the Chicago Fire in the city proper, but outlying areas like Geneva and Hyde Park offer representation from the 1850s and 1860s. Having already dedicated entire books to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Cannon said he tried not to include too many Wright designs here, but it’s hard to cover the history of Chicago domestic architecture without a few Wright inclusions. The Winslow House in River Forest, the Avery Coonley Estate in Riverside and the Heurtley House in Oak Park are all featured. Another Oak Park home included is the John Seaman House on Grove Avenue.

Heurtley House, Oak Park Built in 1894, the Queen Anne-style home was designed by Fiddelke and Ellis at a cost of $17,000. The original owner was a barrel maker, and the interior reflects the use of many different kinds of woodwork.

The home is considered one of the most intact, original Victorians in Oak Park. Cannon notes that the original homeowner’s career often informed the design of historic homes in Chicago. One of his favorites in the book is the Wacker House in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Built for Frederick Wacker in 1872, the house reflected the wealth of the immigrant family. “The elder Wacker came from Germany and worked in the malt and brewery business,” Cannon said. “His son was in the grain business and worked with Daniel Burnham to lay out the city. The house is an elaborate Italianate cottage with a lot of ornamental woodwork. It’s been restored beautifully. It’s quite stunning. It gives you an idea of how people lived in that era.” The Beeson House, designed by Frederick Schock in 1891 and located in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago, is also included in the book. A designated Chicago landmark, the home is one of four Schockdesigned homes in the neighborhood. Cannon states that Schock also designed the Austin State Bank and Austin High School. The Dvorak Bungalow in Berwyn is one

of a pair of matching bungalows in the 6900 block of Riverside Drive built just before the Depression in 1929 for Joseph Dvorak and his friend James Cech. Cannon notes that Dvorak was a music store owner in Berwyn, and he and Cech were Czech immigrants who helped build up Berwyn. The bungalow was designed by Charles Vedra. While the older homes are fascinating for the history of the building methods and original owners, Cannon says that some of the newer houses featured are interesting due to the technology involved. “There’s a net-zero house that we included,” Cannon said. “A big trend now is to make houses off the grid. You see some people doing this with older homes, too, when they add geothermal systems.” While their sixth book might have just hit the market, Cannon and Caufield are already working on their next project, which sticks close to home for the author. In 2011, the duo covered Oak Park’s Unity Temple. With the completion of its restoration in 2017, Cannon says that he and Caulfield are now at work on a revised book that will cover the renovation.
