On April 27, Daniel Miller, a lieutenant for the Forest Park Police Department, was seen detaining a woman in North Riverside while seemingly off duty, as he was in plain clothes and driving his personal vehicle.
According to the department’s police chief Ken Gross, Miller has been placed on administrative leave while the village investigates the incident.
“We take this matter very seriously,” Gross said in a statement. “We are launching an investigation to examine what happened, and the results will be shared with the public and news media.”
In multiple videos posted to Facebook, Miller is seen near 1st Avenue and 31st Street in North Riverside, pulling a woman out of a car and han-

A local ‘Angel’ per forms the Heimlich Maneuver
Proviso East grad honored for saving the life of Loyola ER doc
By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter
Forest Park resident Ke ztly Angel was one of 12 “local heroes” honored recently by the Red Cross at its annual Heroes Breakfast held at the Hilton Chicago Hotel on May 6.
When the doctors at Loyola Hospital save lives, it doesn’t make the news. That’s what they are trained to do. That’s their job.
But when the cashier at the hospital cafeteria responds to a person in crisis in ways that possibly save the person’s life, that’s a big deal. A real big deal.
The person in crisis was Joan Dimopoulos, an emergency room doctor. While having lunch, a break from the stress of the ER, some food got caught in her trachea making it impossible for her to breathe.
Angel, a 2022 Proviso East graduate, was the first “first responder” on the scene and, for tunately for Dimopoulos, had received training by the Red Cross while she was in high school in a technique called the Heimlich Maneuver.
Her training enabled her to do two things: correctly diagnose what was going on and quickly respond in a way that dislodged the obstruction and allowed Angel’s “patient” to breathe again.
“At first, I was a little confused at what was going on because she had spat out water,” recalled Angel, who has been working at Loyola as a dietary assistant for more than a year. “But once I realized she was actually choking,
I reacted with no thought.”
What is tracheal obstruction like?
Here his now AI describes it: “Tracheal obstruction feels like severe shortness of breath, a choking sensation, or a feeling that you are breathing through a nar underwater. Symptoms often include pani ing (stridor or wheezing), intense coughing, and a tightness in the throat or chest, sometimes described as an invisible hand closing the airway.”
“Each year, the Heroes Breakfast reminds us that courage lives in our communities,” said Kellie O’Connell, CEO of the American Red Cross of Illinoi honor re present what it means to be courageous forward to serve others, save lives, someone’s darkest moments. It is an honor to share their inspiring stories and celebrate the extraordinary impact they make.”
“The American Red Cross prev man suffering in the face of emergencies through the power of volunteers and the generosity of Anabel Monge, the organization’s development communications manager.
“We shelter, feed and provide comfort after disasters; supply about 40% of the nation’s b save lives; provide international humanitarian aid; and support military members, veterans and their families.”
Angel learned how to administer the Heimlich Maneuver in a class at Proviso East, but Monge said CPR classes are also of fered by the Red Cross.
“More than anything, I am just incredibly grateful that I was in the right place at the right time to help ensure a positive outcome,” she said. My parents have expressed how proud they are that I was prepared and present when
LETTER TO THE ED I TOR
Small moments, lasting connections
A few years ago, I attended a Celebrating Seniors Week event simply out of curiosity. I left with something much more valuable — a renewed sense of connection. That’s what makes this week so impactful. It’s not about grand gestures; it’s about small, meaningful moments that bring people together.
This year’s lineup, running May 7-14, reflects that spirit beautifully. With more than 35 events, there’s something for everyone — whether it’s a wellness workshop, a financial planning seminar, a technology session, or a social gathering filled with music and laughter.
I’m particularly encouraged by the focus on digital literacy this year. So many older adults want to stay connected but feel left be-
person instruction. Online CPR classes are a convenient option for those who want to learn on their own schedule and at a location of their choosing. However, since they are taken entirely online, these courses do not allow you to demonstrate skill proficiency to a certified instructor and therefore do not meet requirements for OSHA certification.”

hind by technology. These sessions offer practical, hands-on support that can truly make a difference in daily life. What I’ve learned is that these events aren’t just for seniors. They’re for care givers, families, and anyone who values a more connected, compassionate community. Take the time to attend one event. Bring a friend or a neighbor. You may walk away with new knowledge. Even more importantly, you’ll likely walk away with a new perspective. Details are available at celebratingseniors.net/events.

is re placing the water main under neath the street in order to improve the quality and delivery of water throughout the village and is also re placing lead service lines along Jackson Boulevard.
Over the next 7 months, Jackson Boulevard will stay open, though there will be staggered lane closures along the street. Village staf f encourage residents to plan for extra travel time and consider alter nate routes
The 50-year-old water main under neath Jackson Boulevard has seen multiple emergency breaks in recent years and is beyond its useful life, according to village staf f. Water main and lead service line construction, then street resurfacing, will star t at Harlem and Jackson and move west.
Jackson Boulevard construction is projected to cost over $3.7 million, financed through the village’s VIP fund and water
fund. But when village staf f star ted planning for the project 3 years ago, it was expected to be $1 million cheape r. The higher costs are attributed to increased construction costs and requirements from the Illinois De par tment of Transportation that the contractor had to complete over half the projects themselves, gar nering a single bidder
To make up the extra $1 million cost, at a March council meeting commissioners unanimously approved spending Forest Park’s annual portion of the state g as tax to finance construction along Jackson Boulevard.
In addition to re placing the water main on Jackson, the village is also re placing lead service lines along the road and in sur rounding areas, including:
■ Between Jackson and Lehmer Street
■ Between Jackson and Madison Street, Ferdinand and Hannah
■ From 13th Street to 16th Street
■ Between Roosevelt and Har rison, Circle and Dunlop
■ Between Dunlop and Desplaines
Residents on Jackson either have already been infor med of construction or will be as
it approaches their homes.
“We’ve also coordinated with the school district and the library,” said Village Administrator Rachell Entler at an April 27 village council meeting. “We want to en-
sure that the construction that af fects the school district is timed so that we don’t offer too much disruption to the school, especially since we’re going to be doing lead service line re placement too.”

Short-term rental owners, guests speak against potential restrictions
Forest Park residents who rent out short-term properties say constraints are not justi ed
By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter
After residents on the 900 block of Lathrop Ave. shared complaints at recent village council meetings about a short-ter m rental property on their block, neighbors have asked commissioners to restrict such properties within 500 feet of a school and limit stays to 30 days.
Now, owners and guests of short-ter m rental properties in Forest Park are speaking in support of these rental homes — which have never been regulated in the village code, though commissioners say the village’s legal team is looking into potential restrictions on them.
“Forest Park is being asked to write a cate-

gory-wide ordinance on the basis of a single property,” said Forest Park resident David Hudson during public comment at the April 27 council meeting. Hudson rents out the upper floor of his property and said, after searching online, there are roughly 90 shortter m rental properties in the village “Hundreds of guests have stayed with us with zero complaints from our neighbors Hosting has actually pushed us to keep improving our property, so every guest has the best possible experience.”
Fourteen others verbalized or wrote in public comments at the beginning of the council meeting — the most who have done so in at least a year — all of them against any kind of restrictions for short-ter m rental properties
Forest Park residents Amy and Geoff Binns-Calvey run an Airbnb on their property and said they’ve also never had an issue with guests, who don’t have other options when they want to stay longer than a few days in Forest Park
Greenhouse, cafe and garden supply store proposed for vacant Galewood Building
Good Earth takes over site of a dilapidated former McDonald’s
By MICHAEL LIPTROT Block Club Chicago
A family-owned River Forest garden center business with South Side roots is coming to the site of a long-vacant building in Galewood
Good Earth, featuring a greenhouse, fresh market and cafe, will be coming to the site of a for mer McDonald’s at 1933 N. Harlem Ave., the business announced Saturday.
The fifth-generation family business began on the South Side in 1928 and since 2001 has operated a location in River Forest, known as Good Earth Greenhouse Good Earth’s plans for the site come after community members rejected a proposed five-story rental development at the lot in July and another failed plan for a car wash in 2023.
Renderings show a renovation of the lot’s existing building to house a retail space as well as a new outdoor garden center behind the building, an expansion of existing patio and the building a new 3,000-square-foot greenhouse beside the building.
The retail space will house a market that will offer produce and other food products from local farmers, business owners said.
The Galewood location will operate similarly to Good Earth Greenhouse at 7900 Madison St. in River Forest, which features a similar setup including a garden center, flo-

rist and cafe, business owners said. The store regularly holds events celebrating the spring equinox, national puppy day and Earth Day.
Galewood neighbors can expect “premium quality plants, annuals, garden items and great service” at the new business, management said.
“We’re all about community,” Good Earth manager Regan Cronin said at a neighborhood meeting announcing the new store Saturday. “Our business is [about] making things look good, so presentation is key. We want to bring beauty to a spot that’s been vacant for years.”
Good Earth was intentional in coming to the Galewood area due to its many neighbors who are interested in gardening. Several neighbors at the meeting recognized the business from patronizing the River Forest location, Cronin said.
“Love the neighborhood. It’s fabulous It’s got great people living here, beautiful homes and people who like to garden, who like markets,” Cronin said. “We [are bringing] a cafe and a food market there, so we have a good place for neighborhood gatherings.”
The family business was started by Cronin’s great grandfather, who opened The Egg Store in Bridgeport, which operated for more than 80 years before closing around 2010, she

said.
Store officials sai they want to “brin every aspect of business that have spent the p five generations building” to the Har lem Avenue location.
In August, a fi story, market-rate rental building was proposed by Noah Properties and would have brought around 80 apartments to site, but these plans were met with ov whelming opposi tion from community members and nixed by Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th). A car wash was proposed for the location in 2023 but never moved forward, according to an Austin Weekly report.
Taliaferro said he is excited about Good Earth’s presence in the neighborhood.
Good Earth is in the process of seeking a zoning change to operate at the location, a measure Taliaferro said he would support In the meantime, store officials are looking for a permit to set up a pop-up garden center at the site for this current garden season.
“I think this is a great opportunity, not just for the ward, but for the immediate neighborhood it sits in,” Taliaferro said. “We have to have a vibrant ward and that helps to sustain our community. … We’re taking properties that have been vacant for a long time and just trying to bring the right fit for our ward.”

Before approving 2 property tax changes, commissioners ask for more details
Questions come during approval process for property tax classi cation and new TIF district
By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter
NDOMI Capital, a food and beverage distribution business coming to Industrial Drive has been approved for a reduced rate on property taxes for 13 years in exchange for its substantial investment in the property, and the village allowed itself to get reimbursed for developing the for thcoming TIF district at Franklin St. and Brown Ave.
As the village council unanimously OK’d these two actions at the April 27 meeting, some commissioners voiced concer n about reducing the village’s revenue from property taxes in the short-ter m.
“The challenge for Forest Park specifically, and right now in particular, is that both these mechanisms, TIFs and the 6b classification, work by reducing property tax revenue in the short-ter m in exchange for hoped for — and not always certain, but kind of certain, we’re not sure — long-ter m benefits,” Commissioner Maria Maxham said. She added that, for a village that needs to funnel at least $74 million into its police and fire pensions in the next 14 years, and has an overall projected $15 million deficit, she was unsure if this was a worthwhile tradeof f.
“When we start trading of f the money that we could be getting right now in property taxes to put towards the pensions for a future amount that we think and hope we’re going to get, it becomes a little bit scary,” Maxham said.
Maxham requested an inter nal analysis on the long-ter m ef fect of changes in property tax classification and TIF reimbursements She said she asked staf f earlier in the evening for information about the village’s current 6b properties with reduced property tax rates and whether they’re succeeding and was told that would be a large report to put together.
“It really bothered me that we don’t have that, that we should have, that we should be doing better We should know exactly what it is that we’re signing up to do when we sign up to do something,” Maxham said.
“These are, generally speaking, really good things. I’m just asking, and I want on the record that going forward, I want there to be better analysis and a better picture painted of why these things are necessary.”
Rachell Entler said in her two-and-a-half years as village administrator, she’s seen four applications for 6b classification, including NDOMI’s. And said there may have been one application before her time.
“This is something that is somewhat relatively new to the council. You certainly have seen the most in our recollection,” Entler said. “I will, going forward, make sure that you have more of the details that we put in place in order to analyze this when you get the requests.”
Commissioner Jessica Voogd agreed that she would’ve liked more time and additional information, specifically about the 6b real estate classification.
“I am a little frustrated as well with the state of our finances We kind of get backed into this fear-based decision-making situation where we need the money so bad, so let’s take 10% tax revenue, instead of 25%, for 10 years,” Voogd said.
NDOMI Capital, the food and beverage distribution business, was approved at the council meeting for the 6b incentive that will assess the property at 10% of its market value for the first decade, 15% the 11th year, 20% the 12th year, and the standard industrial rate of 25% in the 13th year
Entler apologized at the April 27 meeting for not initially including NDOMI’s application for 6b classification when she made the agenda packet. She added that, when the village gets a 6b application, it’s reviewed by staff, with the village’s legal team, the applicants and their legal team, and TIF consultants if needed
“We try to deter mine whether, if the property sat vacant under the nor mal property tax allowance, would the incentive that we provided to the applicant, even at the reduced tax rate, result in increased taxes for the village of Forest Park compared to if it sat vacant?” Entler said, “and what improvements they’re going to be making
to the facility, what jobs they would be bringing to the community, and what those jobs would bring to the area.”
NDOMI Capital
NDOMI Capital is currently closing on the property at 7526 Industrial Dr., which has been vacant since January and in poor condition since last summer. If Cook County approves the 6b classification for the lower property tax assessment rates, NDOMI Capital plans to spend about $1 million to rehabilitate the property.
“The 6b approval is heavily weighing on that initiative. That’s what would make it viable for us,” said Patrick Walsh, one of the business partners opening NDOMI in Forest Park, at the April 27 council meeting
NDOMI Capital has committed to $550,000 in improvements by Sept. 2027 and creating up to 15 new, full-time jobs. Walsh said the company will likely spend closer to $850,000to-$1.2 million to renovate the dilapidated building.
Currently located in Wooddale, NDOMI Capital does up to 200 deliveries a day out of its facility, 80% of which are to Chicago locations. Walsh said there’s opportunity to sell to more Forest Park businesses, funneling money right back into the village
“The closer we come to Forest Park, the impact of our business can be felt directly in that we’ll be selling our products on a wholesale basis, like our friend Jimmy Watts,” who owns O’Sullivan’s Public House on Madison Street, Walsh said. “We’re not looking to become a big company,” he added. “There’s no expansion plans beyond where we are right now, other than being able to service more customers.”
Walsh grew up in Oak Park and runs the company with his son, Sean Walsh, and DJ Romano, who grew up in River Forest.
“We’re thrilled to make Forest Park our long-ter m home. This area means a lot to all three of us,” Patrick Walsh said. “We’re a small, family-owned business that we plan on Sean running for a long time after we’re no longer running it.”
Commissioner Ryan Nero thanked the co-owners for attending the meeting, when many applicants don’t. And said the 6b classification and TIF reimbursement the council approved will benefit the village “Those are opportunities for us to attract
new businesses into Forest Park, to make Forest Park easy to do business with,” Nero said. “The property as it sits right now, and what you are trying to accomplish with it moving forward, is going to, from a business standpoint, put this property on the map, and by making those investments in the property, brings more property tax revenue to Forest Park.”
Franklin Street/Brown Avenue TIF
At the April 27 council meeting, the village approved a resolution that allows it to pay for redevelopment costs in the soon-to-be-active TIF district on Franklin Street and Brown Avenue from its general fund now and, once the new TIF district has some money funneled into it, the village can reimburse itself up to $5 million from that fund or bond proceeds. The $5 million is a placeholder in line with IRS Treasury regulations.
“You could make it $1 million tonight, if you want,” said Village Attor ney Nick Peppers to the council. “You’re not spending $5 million on a project. There’s no development in the winds. It really is a belt-and-suspenders approach to the formation of the TIF.” If, after the village for ms the TIF, they want to float a bond the same day or buy land, they have the ability to spend that $5 million, though they must be authorized before doing so.
“Floating bonds up front are frowned upon nowadays. Hardly anyone ever does that. We usually go pay as you go, meaning when the TIF increment is generated, then you might reimburse a developer,” Peppers said. “You’re not committing to spending $5 million tonight, you’re just reserving that ability.”
Following multiple questions from Maxham, Peppers assured the council that passing the resolution wouldn’t exacerbate the village’s current deficit of cash.
“The TIF act is complicated,” said Peppers, adding that it’s his third time helping Forest Park create a TIF district. “This is the process. Not knowing what your development is going to be, you are going to have every opportunity in the world to evaluate what this TIF may or may not be able to bring to the village. Believe me, you’re not obligating yourself to do anything tonight that would put this village in any financial jeopardy.”
OUR QUIETEST NEIGHB OR S
Rep. Sabath served long as determined progressive
Fought for immigrants, workers and taxing the rich
By AMY BINNS-CALVEY Contributing Reporter
Adolph Sabath served in the U.S. Congress an astonishing 45 years and 247 days. At the time of his death, he was the “Dean of the U.S. Congress,” the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives. It was a record he held until 2013. Sabath served under eight presidents and is still in the top 20 of longest-serving members of Congress
Born in Bohemia (now Czechoslovakia), Sabath came to the U.S. at the age of 15 with less than three dollars to his name. He worked hard at various jobs, then started a real estate business, earning enough money to bring his family to the U.S. Not one to remain idle, he attended business and law school and was admitted to the bar in 1891. He served as a justice of the peace and police magistrate before being elected to Congress in 1906.
Sabath was a fierce defender of immigrants’ rights. In 1907, responding to a fellow Congressman who called immigrants “undesirables,” Sabath said, “Let us … give these worthy foreigners a welcome when they come, and to show them that our country ever extends the warm hand of sympathy and fellowship to the oppressed peoples of the earth.” He was a champion of the needy. In 1909, he said: “Do not tax the poor for the benefit of the rich; equalize the taxes; tax the rich in proportion to their wealth.”
In 1911, Sabath became well-known for his efforts to find Eliska Paroubek, a young Bohemian child in Chicago who had been kidnapped and murdered. The case was followed closely by the public and later inspired outside artist Henry Darger’s fantasy novel In the Realms of the Unreal When the young girl’s body was found, Sabath helped pay for her funeral.
Sabath fought hard to dismantle prohibition until finally, in 1933, the 21st Amendment was passed. Afterwards, on the House floor, Fred Bitten, another Illinois congressman, asked
Sabath to return a bottle of gin he had borrowed during Prohibition. Since there was still a hard liquor ban in force in D.C., Sabath replied that he couldn’t return the bottle just then, but as soon as it was le gal, he would repay it with “twofold interest” and of a higher-grade gin than the one he had been lent.
As chairman of the House Rules Committee, Sabath was known to use less than orthodox methods -- one time he pretended to faint in order to delay a committee vote. He spoke frankly and with a strong accent that many teased him about – he called Republicans “tools of the wested interests,” and Wall Street “that gambling institution.” He was well-liked and able to “disagree without being disagreeable.”
An early supporter of Franklin Roosevelt, Sabath fought for Roosevelt’s New Deal legislation, including workers’ compensation, wage and hours laws, and legislation that later became Social Security. Referred to as a “rallying point for progressives” he was an ardent defender of labor rights, civil rights, and civil liberties.
Sabath was so passionate about his causes that in 1949, when he was in his eighties, he and another member of the House (who was 14 years younger) exchanged blows on the house floor over a bill meant to help people afford housing Newspapers reported, “A fist-swinging brawl between the 83-year-old dean of the House … and Representative Cox plunged the house today in a roaring battle over housing legislation … Cox slapped him in the mouth and knocked off his glasses … Sabath jabbed him with a left and a right. A couple of beauties.”
Sabath died two days after he was elected to his 24th term in the House of Representatives at the age of 86. Harry Truman, the last president he served under, said of him, “He exemplified in his life the virtues that make America strong, and in him the forgotten man always found a champion.”
Sabath is buried in a large, stately mausoleum in Forest Home Cemetery carved with the dates of his service and the words: “Patriot – Statesman – Loyal Friend.”

WEST SUB’S FUTURE
West Suburban legal battle continues as Prasad disputes $10 million claim
First hearing in multimillion-dollar hospital lawsuit set for Friday, May 8
By BRENDAN HEFFERNAN Staff Reporters
T he le g al f allout from the ab rupt March closure of West Suburban Medical C enter c ontinues this week, with the first C ook C ounty c ourt hearing on the matter set for F riday.
Dueling lawsuits between the co-owners of Resilience Healthcare progressed this week as Resilience Healthcare CEO Manoj Prasad’s attorneys filed a motion disputing Resilience co-owner and hospital landlord Rathnaker Reddy Patlola’s recent claim that Prasad is to blame for $10 million in missing state funding and even more in unpaid rent and fees associated with the embattled Oak Park hospital. A hearing on the matter is set for the mor ning of Friday, May 8 in Downtown Chicago’s chancery court, with another hearing in the case already set for June 15.
Patlola filed a lawsuit on April 22 in Cook County court against Resilience Healthcare, alleging that millions in unpaid rent and prolonged mismanagement of the hospital drove West Sub and Weiss Memorial, its previously shuttered sister hospital, to collapse. Patlola owns the properties for West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park and River Forest, Weiss Memorial in Chicago and other associated medical buildings through an entity called Ramco Holdings. He also has a 40% ownership stake in Resilience.
Eviction notices from Ramco were placed on West Sub’s River Forest medical campus and Weiss Memorial’s campus on April 9. Patlola filed the suit for seven c ounts of breach of c ontract, seeking to recove r over $24 million in alle gedly unpaid rent and f ees from Resilience-owned buildings. T he landlord’s lawsuit also alle ge d that Prasad had “misappropriated” a $10 million state loan meant to cove r hospital operating expenses
According to Ramco’s suit, the same day that Resilience received a $10 million state
ing, Prasad’s attorneys argued that Patlola also had access to the Westlaw accounts where the loan money was deposited.
The filing included email records re portedly showing Prasad sharing the login to the entity’s bank account with Patlola.
“We have said from the beginning that Mr. Patlola’s claims are f alse and tod ay ’s filing proves that beyond any d oubt, ” Prasad said in a statement about his filing. “The record shows Mr. Patlola has coowned, had f ull a ccess to, and c ontributed f unds to the ve ry account at the center of his alle gations. My focus remains on the West Suburban community, its staf f, and its patients and we are working to fully reopen the hospital by July.”
In the filing, Prasad’s attorneys argued again that he had a deal with Ramco that set rent for the hospital properties at just $1 per year until the hospitals tur ned a profit. Ramco’s April 22 filing argued that no such deal existed.
loan for Weiss Memorial Hospital on May 2, 2025, the money was moved from Weiss’ lockbox account to the hospital’s operating account, then transfer red to Westlaw Management Group — a company owned solely by Prasad. Ramco claims the state money was not used for hospital operations, which led to Weiss closing that August after its Medicare reimbursement ag reement was terminated by federal officials.
“While Dr. Prasad claims that he has a plan in place for reopening West Suburban Medical Center, his track record paints a bleaker picture,” Ramco said in Wednesday’s filing. “Weiss Memorial Hospital was also a safety-net hospital which closed due to Dr. Prasad’s mismanagement and believed misappropriation of millions of dollars of funds provided as a loan by the state of Illinois to Weiss.”
Ramco’s suit also argues that Prasad’s al-
“My focus remains on the West Suburban community, its sta , its patients and we are working to fully reopen the hospital by July.”
M ANOJ PRASAD West Sub CEO
le ged misappropriation of state funds led to major facilities issues at the hospitals, including failing HVAC systems and X-ray machines creating unsafe conditions for patients.
On April 29, Prasad filed a new motion disputing the alle gation that the loan had been misappropriated. In the 224-page fil-
Prasad’s court filing is also seeking to block Patlola’s push to obtain a court order transferring ownership of the hospital to his chosen receiver: Michael Flanagan, a Kansas City attorney, who has managed the court-appointed receivership for several skilled nursing facilities around the country.
Hospital leadership announced the closure of West Sub in March citing a prolonged failure in the hospital’s billing system that resulted in as much as 90% of its work going unbilled. Resilience has since hired dozens of people to try and collect payment for the 120,000 outstanding claims related to West Sub services, the company announced earlier this week.
In the months leading up to the closure, Wednesday Journal re ported on a variety of financial issues at West Sub and at Resilience Healthcare, including unpaid vendors, the loss of the hospital’s once-revered doctor residency program and the millions owed in state and local taxes.

Allegations against o cer from page 1
cuffing her His personal vehicle is parked in front of the woman’s car with the license plate “Prez 45,” and he’s wearing a shirt with President Donald Trump’s name on the back and a gun tucked into his pants
After the incident, the woman, 18-year-old Berwyn resident Breanna Pantoja told ABC7 Chicago that Miller didn’t identify himself as he approached her vehicle with his gun drawn.
“I’m at a red light. This Jeep cuts me off, and he gets out of the car with a gun, screaming, ‘Get out of the car. Get out of the car and tur n it off,’” Pantoja told ABC7 Chicago. “At first, I thought I was getting robbed or something because I didn’t know it was a police officer or anything. All I saw was a gun pointed at me.”
Pantoja said that Miller told her she was pulled over because she was involved in a hitand-run. She said her car spun out on the wet pavement, but didn’t hit anything, and there was no damage to her car or property.
Pantoja told ABC7 Chicago that Miller
called North Riverside police, who cleared her of any wrongdoing and let her go She said she’s considering legal action against Miller
In 2017, Miller fatally shot Marco Gomez, who was driving a stolen vehicle in Forest Park Gomez was reportedly stopped at Jackson and Harlem when Miller got out of his patrol car and approached the stolen vehicle with his gun drawn.
According to the Forest Park Police Department, Gomez attempted to perform a U-tur n and Miller, fearing for his life, shot his gun, hitting Gomez in the chest. The lawsuit said Gomez did not have any weapons inside the vehicle and was on parole after serving time for robbery and theft.
Gomez’s family sued the village of Forest Park in 2018, alleging that the Forest Park Police Department doesn’t properly train police officers, encourages excessive force and fails to discipline officers involved in unjustified shootings.
In 2021, Gomez’s estate was awarded a nearly $600,000 settlement from the village. In the settlement, the village “continue[s] to deny any and all fault, wrongdoing or liability,” and that the $599,000 was “merely to avoid the expenses and burden of further litigation in this matter.” Gomez’s estate received an additional $100 to maintain a confidentiality agreement.
The village’s police department had settled out of court in previous years, too In 2018, the village paid $38,000 to Trumell Lee, who accused Officer Nicholas Defors of putting him in a chokehold, causing him to blackout, after he was already handcuffed. The same year, the village paid $54,000 to Tyrone Roney after he accused Officer Scott McClintock of attacking him three years prior and knocking out his teeth.

West Sub is personal
Afew weeks back there was a quickly organized meeting held at the Oak Park library to figure out what role community members from the West Side and Oak Park could play in salvaging West Suburban Hospital.
I reported on it at the time: Palpable energy, deep frusthe failed leadership of Manoj Prasad, the esilience Health. Anger. And then some good thinking from people representing multiple constituencies – dislodged staff, , public-health pros.
w the fight for West Sub heads to a ook County court hearing for the first time this Friday. It will be Prasad vs. Patlola er Reddy Patlola, CEO of Ramco Holdings). And it promises to be a mess as Patlola, the owner of all the property and buildings that make up West Sub and the also shuttered Weiss Memorial in Uptown, about the obvious mismanagement of y teetering institution, allegations fraud and profound doubts that either of these men have the genuine interests of our communities at heart.
I go back, though, to the library meeting which started, as do so many community meetings, with introductions from the 75-plus people crowded into the first floor meeting room at the main library . More than the smarts and the passion that quickly became clear, I was taken with how many of these people spoke first about their personal connections to this once-vital health-care institution. “My baby was born here,” was the most common introduction. A fiery Tara Stamps, our local Cook County commissioner, started hot with condemnation of first Prasad and then of state regulatory agencies, which have clearly failed. But then she began to talk about her uncle and the gentle care he received at West Sub over a stretch of time. Put me in mind of the Haley family’s West Sub connections over decades. It is where my dad died 30 years ago. Middle of the night. Frank Haley’s three sons with him. Moving quickly toward his death, fighting for a breath, seeming a bit of panic rising. And Annie, his nurse, with our grateful consent shifting from intervention to palliative care. An increase in pain meds. Lights tur ned low. And within a couple of hours a gentle death.
Our 2-year-old son also made a panicked visit to the old and crappy ER when he got into his grandmother’s heart meds while seemingly taking a nap. He was slipping away from us when we got to West Sub. But wonderful care in that cramped ER and a rapid transfer to Loyola brought him back around
Connections to a community hospital are profound
The unraveling of this hospital has been underway for decades. A half dozen changes in ownership tells you that bad decisions were made, that disinvestment has been baked into the operation. That West Sub wound up in the hands of such non-capitalized amateurs makes clear how dire this circumstance had become.
But the fight to save West Sub is going to be hard, seems unlikely that either Prasad or Patlola are part of the solution, and the effort to keep this from being a pure real estate play by Patlola may be impossible. Community activism seems a long shot but is, maybe, the best hope.
OPINION
Remembering my mother
My mother, Dorothy Holmes, was born in 1909 in Pound, a little town in Norther n Wisconsin. She died in 2008. I bring her up because this Sunday is Mothers Day, and my Mom witnessed a lot of changes regarding what it means to be a mother in her 99 years on Earth.
Her mother died when Dorothy was 13, which made my mother the mother of that household for the next six years. But my mother was an independent woman and a good student. After just one year at what was called a county nor mal teachers college, Dorothy was an elementary classroom teacher. The year was 1929, the start of the Great Depression.
HOLMES
Like I said, my mom had an independent streak and was in no rush to get mar ried. She and three other women bought a car one summer, drove out to the West Coast and back for the fun of it and sold the car after retur ning to Wisconsin.
Most summers she would pick up a few credits in summer school, eventually earning a B.S. degree One of her pastimes was horseback riding, which my father enjoyed too Warren was 10 years younger than Dorothy. He was an outgoing charmer, popular, with many friends. I never understood the attraction, I don’t think sex was high up on the list, at least not for my mom.
My father was stationed in Florida during World War II. In the cavalry. Seriously! In the cavalry! My mother took the train down to where he was stationed in 1942 when she was on Christmas vacation. The chaplain at the base presided at the wedding. In those days, the Manitowoc school district hired only single women. During the Great Depression, it was widely believed that a married woman taking a job was stealing a salary from a male breadwinner or a single woman. “Marriage Bars,” as they were called, were policies that forced teachers to resign if they married, a common practice nationwide until World War II labor shortages forced schools to lift these restrictions Such policies were rooted in the belief that married women had husbands to support them, while single women needed independence. After Pearl Harbor the labor shortage forced the Manitowoc school district to rehire my mother, albeit at the pay rate of a substitute teacher.
I came along in 1947, and that meant Dorothy became a stay-at-home mom, a job I think she rather liked. I
don’t think she saw herself as a career woman. My father never saw himself as a sensitive new age guy. I don’t think he ever changed a diaper in his life. Both my parents played culturally approved roles, and it seemed to work for them.
A big stressor in my mother’s life came when my parents built a house in a new development. The Depression made both of my parents afraid of debt. In order to pay off the mortgage as quickly as possible, my mother went back to teaching. My father’s life didn’t change much, but my mother continued to serve as the full-time housekeeper, cooking all the meals while teaching full-time September through May. I remember her being short-tempered and irritable nine months a year and enjoying life in the summer
They paid off the mortgage in seven years!
My father died in 1970 when he was only 50 years old, which really put my mother into a tailspin. She did miss my father, but a big source of security for my mom was feeling in control. She was a strict disciplinarian as a teacher. On my youth baseball team some of my teammates had been her for mer students
“Mrs. Holmes is your mother?” they would ask and add, “I feel sorry for you!”
My mother once told me that if she had it to do over again, she would have become an accountant. If you do your job well, numbers always behave; they always come out right.
I was graduating from college. The house was paid off. And then my father goes and dies on her
Six years after my father died, my mother held her newly born grandson for the first time. Two years after that she held a granddaughter. It wasn’t going back to her career that became the key to her recovery. It was relationships — family, longtime friends and church.
My mother was a progressive in some ways even though she always voted Republican. She had lots of teacher friends — independent single women who for med part of my extended family. In those days you did not ask and you did not tell.
Lillian, Merle, Ber nice, Hazel, another Dorothy — they were just my mother’s friends, who were good to me. I think my father “guessed,” but he never ever even hinted that he knew there was a parallel lifestyle going on.
