Theater performance at Forest Park Middle School celebrates Black history
D91 middle school students honor Black leaders with Readers eater event
BY HOPE BAKER Contributing Re porter
Forest Park Middle School students concluded February’s Black History Month with a theater performance honoring influential figures in Black history. Through four short plays, students brought the stories of notable leaders and changemakers to life for an audience of classmates, staff and families. The reader’s theatre-style performance took place on Feb. 27 at the middle school.
“As we celebrate 100 years of Black history, our reader’s theatre gave our scholar the opportunity to not just study histor but to make their voices and work part a historic moment, honoring the past wh inspiring the future,” said Terriyaka son, principal of Forest Park Middle School.
“Just thinking about how our scholars embodied these leaders gives me chills. I am in credibly proud of their courage, dedication, and voice, and deeply grateful to our staf who worked tirelessly to prepare them and teach the powerful history behind the pe for mance.”
The first play of the evening told the stor of Lonnie Johnson, inventor of the Supe Soaker water gun. It was followed by a pl about Madam C. J. Walker, who is recognized by the “Guinness Book of World Records” as the first female self-made millionaire in the
United States. The third play highlighted Henry ‘Box’ Brown, who escaped slavery by shipping himself in a wooden crate. The final performance focused on Rory Hoskins, the current mayor of Forest Park
Hoskins, who made history as Forest Park’s first Black mayor, attended the perfor mance and spoke during the event.
“It was great to have Mayor Hoskins there and to hear him speak to the students about how honored he felt to be recognized,” said Rachelle Ernst, director of engagement for D91. “He also encouraged them to continue to be involved in their community and to make a positive impact.”
Ernst said 27 students participated in the plays, either as cast members or as part of the stage crew.
“Our scholars really showed up,” she said.
“It was so great to see them embody these important influential figures.”
The performance took place on the last day of National Public Schools Week, which was celebrated from Feb. 23-27.
“National Public Schools Week provides an opportunity to honor the educators, families, and students who make our schools strong and to celebrate the excellence, opportunity, and collaboration that define District 91,” Ernst said.
In addition to the performance honoring Black History Month, other highlights during the week included a district-wide school spirit day and a mobile coffee cart that delivered treats to staff at each of D91’s schools
“It was just a wonderful week that highlighted so much goodness about D91,” Ernst said.

OUR QUIETEST NEIGHB OR S
Albert Schock, among greatest cyclists in history, crashed at Forest Home Cemetery
Chicago native, Schock set world records in ‘six-day bike races ’
Achampion of six-day bike races, Albert Schock is often called one the greatest cyclists of all time. Born in Chicago, he is currently listed as the 31st greatest American rider of all time (behind Lance Armstrong and Greg Lemond.)
AMY BINNSCALVE Y
In the late 1800s, six-day, indoor, ultra-marathon competitions were incredibly popular All types of endurance races were held including “go-asyou-please” walks, roller-skating, and cycling. These events were held for 6 days straight, sometimes for up to 24 hours per day.
In 1886, Schock set a world distance record for the sixday bike race by riding 1,009 miles and 3 laps in Minneapolis. Two of his competitors had to quit -- one started vomiting from exertion and the other fell asleep at the wheel and crashed.
Later that same year, Schock broke his own by record riding 1,405 miles in another six-day race. His stamina was incredible. He was legendary for being able to stay on the bike for long periods of time – in one race, he took only one 40-minute break during a 72-hour period. In 1887, he won a 72-hour bike race again in Minneapolis, covering 923 miles. To make these accomplishments even more impressive, before 1893, Schock competed on a high-wheel bike, also known as a Penny-farthing. Schock was born in 1857 and died in 1921.
Many American cities hosted these marathon events. Madison Square Garden in New York City held raucous six-day races with crowds of thousands crammed into the arena, blowing horns, shaking rattles, smoking and, of course, placing bets. In 1893, Schock was the winner of the six-day race at Madison Square Garden, this time competing on a “safety” bicycle; one that more closely resembles modern-day bike construction. Schock’s win demonstrated that the new diamond-framed bike was an improvement over the high-wheelers still being ridden
in the races.
Because the cyclists, or “pluggers,” went round the same track for lap after lap, they sometimes broke up the monotony by playing hijinks -- throwing wet sponges at each other or wearing goofy hats and wigs. The sixday races could also feature smaller competitions, like “rider who rode furthest without dismounting.” Interestingly, women sometimes competed against men and African American riders were included in the races. Schock must have had a constitution built for endurance, besides competing in 41 six-day bike races, he was an “ultrarunning pedestrian” participating in three sixday “go-as-you-please races” and a roller-skater, skating in at least one six-day ultra-distance race.
In 1884, the New York Times published an article that said Schock and another cyclist, Jack Prince, were going to race against 20 horses in a six-day race (limited to 12 hours a day). Sadly, the results of the race, or even evi-
dence that the race was held, have been difficult to find.
A native of Chicago, Schock invented one of the earliest indoor trainers, a “training wheel,” so that he could ride his bike during inclement weather. He developed a frame to hold the bike while the wheels spun on rollers. There was even a device to measure the distance pedaled.
Schock died on March 3, 1921 while visiting his son in New Jersey. He is buried in Forest Home Cemetery. One can imagine that it must be challenging for him to stay in one place for so long.

Almost The Greatest Baker
Local student and chef Edgar Ki makes his mark
By RISÉ SANDERS-WEIR Eats Reporter
Maywood resident and Sugar Fixe baker Edgar Ki has loved baking and cakes for as long as he can remember.
“My grandma used to make an orange cake, and I really fell in love with it,” Ki said. “I loved watching her go through the process. It spur red my own dreams of wanting to bake cakes and design them myself.”
And there was something else that struck a chord with Ki and baking.
Then Ki spotted T he Greatest Baker contest.
“I saw an advertisement about it on social media and I kept seeing it. It was saying you could win $10,000,” Ki said.
He investigated to make sure it was legit. He also saw that the owner of Carlo’s Bakery, Buddy Valastro was involved.
“The thing that’s really inspirational for me, as a deaf person, is that communication can sometimes be hard because I feel like I can’t connect with the hearing world in the same way that others do,” he said. “But when I’m baking, it’s something that I can just do with my hands, and it doesn’t require communication. I can express myself through my baking, and th at ’s wh at I really love about it.”
Ki g ot his professional start at Oak Pa rk ’s Su ga r Fixé ba ke ry. He was hired as a dishwasher, but he let his desire to work as a baker be known early on.
“I quickly realized that he is passionate about decorative work,” Sugar Fixé Chef Emma Marvel Petergal said. “He has an artistic eye.”
“When I was a kid, I used to watch TV and videos about cake design and stuf f like that. And Valastro is a very well-known person in that field,” Ki said. “I saw that he was a part of it and you’d get to meet him and take a picture with him. I was so excited.”
The online competition involved cooking items that were voted on. His instructors, fellow students and community got behind him.
“I thought he was going to win,” Marvel Petergal. “He has an incredible work ethic and he’s just like kind of the sweetest pride to be around.”
To reach that g oal, Ki also enrolled in T riton C olle ge ’s Hospitality Industry Administration pr ogr am. He excelled there too
“It’s never just the class assignment for him,” department chair Christoper Clem said. “He’s not gonna just settle for anything, he’s always looking for the next element of excellence.”
Ki made it to the quarter finals.
“And then I found out that he didn’t share with us that he placed so high, because I think he felt that wasn’t good enough,” Clem said.
“I was like, come on, it was against 300 people.”
Even though he didn’t win the cash or meet with cake boss Valastro, Ki is still pursuing his passion. Among other things at Sugar Fixé, he makes the decorated sugar cookies.
“For Christmas, for Halloween, for Valentine’s Day, I’m the one who does the designs,” Ki said. “I like to put funny little designs on them as well. That’s something I really enjoy.”
“I just like let him have the reins,” said Petergal. “Whatever cookies he wants to bake, whatever shapes, whatever designs.
every time.”
As for his future, Ki said, “I wanted to travel to France to learn more skills at École Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie
and the Asian area to learn my skills. Travel to any country to learn their new desserts, bread, etc. from famous dessert shops all over the world.”

Ford c ampaign warns crypto funded PAC to cease and desist ‘defamatory ’ ads
By BILL DWYER Contributing Reporter
A lawyer for 7th Congressional candidate La Shawn K. Ford sent a cease-and-desist order to a crypto currency funded PAC March 10, demanding it stop producing and disseminating video and print political attack ads containing what it calls “false, misleading, and defamatory statements” against Ford
According to the AdImpact group of Alexandria, Virginia, as of March 6, the cryptocurrency funded PAC, Fairshake, ofSt. Paul, Minnesota, has spent $1.92 million on video and printed mailer attack ads suggesting Illinois State Rep. Ford (D-8) was convicted of felonies related to bank fraud, that he has been part ofa pattern ofcorruption and had engaged in “misuse ofpower” while serving in the Illinois General Assembly.
Also addressed in letter were two Chicago television stations which have broadcast the political ad in question.
its “dissemination ofthese false, misleadin and defamatory statements,” Reyna wrote “actual malice will be inferred.”
Reyna concluded his letter demanding that Fairshake preserve “all documents, electronic data and items that may be related to potential litigation.”
Ford has previously responded forcefully to the 30 second ad, calling the funding behind the attack “blood money.” Ford said such tactics are “harmful to our democracy,” and said he was targeted by Fairshake because ofhis vote in the Illinois House to regulate the crypto currency industry.
“It (the ads) could be so damaging to my reputation. It could have an impact on the outcome of the election.”
Attorney Joseph Reyna said his 3-page letter “serves as formal notice that we have reason to believe you are directly or indirectly publishing, funding, sponsoring or distributing advertisements and materials containing false, misleading, and defamatory statements.”
LA SHAWN K. FORD
Reyna said Ford is “a highly respected citizen and esteemed member of the Illinois House of Representatives,” and that Ford has never, as alleged in the video, “been involved in ‘A Patter n ofCorruption,’ has never been tried on, convicted of, or pled guilty to ’17 federal felony counts offraud,’ has never “used his power and position to try to hide his fraud and self-dealing,’ (and) has never ‘filed a resolution in the legislature to keep his colleagues quiet and stop them from commenting to the press.’”
Reyna said he was giving Fairshake the chance to acknowledge in writing that they will in fact cease “this tortious conduct.”
In the event that Fairshake does not cease
On WednesdayFord called the allegations and insinuations in the Fairshake ads “false,” while acknowledging that they could damage him politically.
“It could be so damaging to my reputation,” Ford said. “It could have an impact on the outcome of the election.”
Ford said he’s comfortable with where’s he’s at in internal polling, which he said shows him leading his nearest rival, City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin, with 18 percent still undecided.
“I’m in first place by at least five points,” he said, adding that he was comfortable he would at least “split” undecided voters and add to his lead
According to AdImpact’s analysis, Conyears-Ervin has also benefitted from a total of$5.15 million in support ads paid for by PACs.
Ford said he intended to stay with the issue of political ads that portray candidates in “a false light” when he returns to Springfield after the primary on March 17. He acknowledged being “not sure (as yet) exactly what we can do,” but said he intended to look into possible legislation to address the issue.
“Reg ardless of what happens with thi s election, I’ll (stay with this),” he said.
“I think because this f alls under state’s rights, we should have the ability to control our elections.”
Growing Deep Roots to inspir people to embrace edible gardening
Oak
Park nonpro t educates, mentors locals o cultivating their own natural
By JACKIE PISANO
Contributing Reporter
Since 2018, Oak Park-based nonprofit Deep Roots Project’s collective mission has been holistically centered — to teach people about natural home gardening and lead them to feel empowered by the process of growing their own food
With a combination of in-person mentorship, seed swapping and an online store selling worm castings and fish emulsion fertilizers, and custom-built raised cedar beds and planter boxes, Deep Roots Project serves as a local haven for budding green-thumbs, regardless of age, socioeconomic status or whether gardeners live in a home with lots of outdoor square footage or a small apartment.
And on Sunday, March 8, the group hosted a special garden planning workshop and seed swap at the Oak Park Public Library’s Main Branch to ring in a new season of planting.
The hands-on workshop covered practical garden planning for all experience levels, including designing layouts, selecting plants, building healthy soil, understanding sunlight patterns and effective watering.
Lindsey Rauba, an Oak Park resident and customer support/ social media manager for Deep Roots Project, led the workshop, providing guidance through her own experiences of learning about edible landscaping and biodiversity.

Deep Roots Project was founded eight ago, when Oak Park resident Estelle teamed up with friend Will Schreiber to master natural gardening practices and that knowledge to others. For Carol, food was always a hobby but morphed into something she wanted to pivot to learning more about following a professional career as a graphic designer and illustrator

and I wanted to bring that on a whole other level to more people.”
“Our whole mission and reason for existing is to make home gardening and growing your own food much easier and simpler
Deep Roots Project’s core team consists of about nine people, with several others who volunteer on a regular basis. The nonprofit also includes a team of four skilled carpenters, led by Schreiber, and horticulturist Rafa Crevoshay who helps bring a wealth of scientific gardening experience.
Membership of Deep Roots Project reaches outside of Oak Park and River Forest, spilling into Chicago neighborhoods and other local suburbs. People from across Chicagoland come together with other members to garden and place orders online.
In addition, Deep Roots Project also partners with youth gardeners, including those at Oak Park’s Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School, and senior centers, including Oak Park Arms

“Planning your garden in advance is not only a fun thing to do when you can’t get into your garden yet because of cold weather, but it can set you up for success in a way that makes gardening more fun,” Rauba said. “Because our method makes gardening easier than other methods, we’ve come to

To the team, being intergenerational is truly the key to success.
“On our Instagram page, younger people are directly messaging me, engaging with our posts and asking me how to get started with gardening,” Rauba said. “I’m also a Realtor and I’m seeing people who are buying their first homes and expressing interest in wanting to grow their own food, so that’s also given us an opportunity to help more people become
aware of us and our methods.”
Deep Roots Project is also keenly aware of the positive impact gardening has on not just physical health, but mental health as well.
“We are seeing younger people who are becoming interested in not only just what they’re eating and how it can affect their health and their quality of life, but also those hands-on experiences of actually having your hands in the dirt and how that can impact our mental health,” she said.
Carol Olsen, an Oak Park resident and volunteer coordinator for Deep Roots Project, says sustainable gardening has not only helped people focus on their health, but also learn about how they can best support our local ecology.
“People are really interested in the ecology of gardening, and these types of gardens help support ecology in many different ways,” Olsen said. “A garden encompasses so many things — recreation, relaxation, ecology, feeding yourself, beauty.”
Oak Park resident Briana Villarrubia, who helps with fundraising efforts for Deep Roots Project, says what she loves best about the group is that its mission-based collaboration helps pass valuable information across neighborhoods and ages.
“There’s a beauty and energy you get from spending time in nature, and being intergenerational is key — when we’re all kind to the earth, the earth is kind to us.”
