For 132 years, Haymarket Monument has been the core of labor histor y
Updated edition of book adds names, history
By JILL WAGNER Contributing Reporter
Honoring the legacy of the men and women who have been a part of labor history is one of the reasons people gather at the Haymarket Martyrs’ Monument in Forest Home Cemetery every May 1, or May Day.
The monument has been a gathering place since it was erected 1893 when the Pioneer Aid and Support Association first honored the men who were hanged, died, were imprisoned and unjustly arrested for their activism during a period when there were few laws or protections for workers’ rights, wages or working hours.
The Haymarket Affair was a pivotal moment in not just Chicago, but it would influence American and International labor up until today.
The Historical Society of Forest Park provided an updated outdoor exhibit at the monument and in the adjacent Radical Row, highlighting the activists, eight-hour workday fighters, progressives, anarchists, trade unionists, activists, socialists and others who have found common rest with their burials near the monument.
This year marked the release of the third edition of The Day Will Come, which was last released 11 years ago. The collaboration between Illinois Labor History and the Historical Society of Forest Park included volunteer, Amy Binns-Calvey,
who leads tours at the monument each summer.
Binns-Calvey explained the need to revise the book. “Ther have been more burials since the last edition, including Mar Rogovin, who was instrumental in creating the first editions In addition, the research is ongoing, and we had additions from people who were buried but we didn’t know they were connected and are now added to the guide.”
The new edition also includes Binns-Calvey’s history of Forest Home and Waldheim Cemeteries and a section about the 2016 exploration for the time capsule. “In addition, the map has been reformatted and designed to scale,” adde Binns-Calvey, suggesting it would be easier to find graves with the map.
This year Forest Home Cemetery displayed a rare glimps of original artifacts and documents related to the burials at Radical Row, giving visitors an opportunity to engage directl with the historical record
The Historical Society honored Bleue Benton, libraria and researcher of the Haymarket Monument with the “Mar Rogovin Working Class Hero Award,” for her outstandin contributions to the Haymarket Monument research
Binns-Calvey is continuing her monthly guided tour of the Haymarket Martyrs Monument and Radical Row on the firs Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. through summer for those interested in learning more. Self-guided tours with the third edition of The Day Will Come, are always available. “It is best to experience it when you are moving around the Monument and Radical Row. You can stand at someone’s grave and have a visceral reaction as you read their brief biography and connect with the person,” said Binns-Calvey

Doing immigration ‘by the book’ in Forest Park
Some immigrants don’t fear deportation: a case in point
By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter
The deportation of immigrants from the U.S. has been in the news recently, and immigrants who are undocumented are frightened.
Sasin “Pun” Tuangiaruwinai immigrated to Forest Park eight years ago, but he’s not worried about being deported, even in what feels like an anti-immigrant atmosphere, because he has dotted every “i” and crossed every “t” to make his immigration legal. His is a story about migrating according to the State Department’s priorities and procedures.
Pun’s grandparents were immigrants to Thailand from China. In fact, the website Quora estimates that up to half of all Thai citizens have Chinese ancestry to one degree or another. His parents, he said, are middle class. His father is a colle ge graduate and owns his own business, and his mother works for Norwegian Lutheran
Ministry in Bangkok where he grew up
When he graduated from high school, it was assumed he would go to colle ge, and his mother encouraged him to study in the U.S. He obtained a student visa and had a place to stay as soon as he got of f the plane, the student center owned by St. Paul Thai Lutheran Church in Forest Park
Christians make up less than 1% of the population in Thailand, a very small minority in which everyone seems to have connections with everyone else, whether they live in Thailand or other countries, especially the U.S.
He studied at Triton Colle ge for the first two years to save money and finished up his de gree in management information systems at DePaul University.
“I could not have made it without the support of the Thai cong re gation,” he said. The Thai church provided him not only with housing but a cultural community to which he could return every day after his adventures in a new land.
One of the challenges, of course, was language. He had studied English in school, but learning a language in a class is very different from communicating almost 24/7 with native speakers. “I would record the lectures at Triton,” he recalled. “The professors would speak so fast I could not understand everything without listening to what they said again.”
Another challenge is maintaining your legal status. The requirements of Pun’s F-1 student visa included:
■ Being enrolled as a full-time student at a school accredited by the U.S. Department of Education
■ Maintain a good academic standing
■ Have sufficient financial resources to support themselves
■ Adhere to the conditions of their visa.
Because an F-1 was only good while Pun was a full-time student, his next challenge was to get an OPT (Optional Practical Training) authorization, without which he would have to return to Thailand after
graduation. OPT allows immigrants to gain experience in their field for two or three years and then go back to their country of origin.
Unless they can find a company that sponsors them, which means the company they are working for has to obtain H-1B status from the U.S. Dept. of Labor. H-1B status — are your ready? — gives permission for aliens to work in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor’s de gree or its equivalent. The intent of the H-1B provision is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise au-

In Pun’s case that employer turned out to be the Golden Triangle, a high-end antique dealer owned by Chauwarin Tuntisak and Doug VanTress, two members of the same Thai Church that provided housing to Pun to this very day.

The two owners wound up spending many hours and thousands of dollars, mainly in legal fees to obtain the status that would allow Pun to stay in the U.S. What helped them prove that Pun provided them with a service unavailable from U.S. citizens was not only his de gree but the fact that he was fluent in English and Thai. The next hurdle to clear was getting

What makes Pun’s immigrant journey more interesting and at the same time more complicated is that last year he got married in Thailand and Nutchanart Chantakua is now living with him in the student center.

CRIME Man escapes after brandishing knife at couple
By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter
Police responded to Planet Fitness on Roosevelt Road May 3 just after 8 p.m. after a man pulled a knife on a couple and fled. Police searched the area but re ported that the of fender escaped. Police spoke to a man and woman who said they were exiting the gym when a man verbally confronted them outside the front door T hey told police that the man was acting ag gressively, pulled out a five-inch-long knife and approached them threateningly. T he couple got in their car, and the man fled. An employee who saw the incident said they’d seen the man a few times before in the parking lot, but he wasn’t a member of the gym. T he couple said they’d sign complaints if the man was located.
Possession of weapon by felon
On April 30, police officers were performing a traffic stop in the 700 block of Harlem Avenue when a car stopped behind the police car and started honking. When police approached the window, the driver told them someone was following him. Police saw suspect powder cocaine, crack cocaine rocks and narcotic paraphernalia inside the car. After refusing to step out of the vehicle several times, the man said he was having trouble breathing. Paramedics were called, and the man was escorted to an ambulance.
Police searched the man and found two bags each of suspected crack cocaine and heroin in his pockets. T hey found a loaded revolver under the driver’s seat of the man’s car, though he doesn’t have a Firearm Owners Identification Card or Concealed Carry License and is a convicted felon.
Police placed the man in custody and paramedics drove him to Rush Oak Park Hospital. T he man later told police that he had used heroin before driving and purchased the gun from an unknown person on the West Side, which he was car rying to protect him from the person following
him. Under Non-Discretionary Pre-Trial Release Conditions, police released the man because of his severe mobility and health issues, including the need for an oxyg en tank and prescribed medications. He was charged with two counts of possessing controlled substances and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon.
Reckless driving
On May 2, police were monitoring a funeral procession traveling from Harlem Avenue, west down Roosevelt Road. Police saw several cars that stood out from most of the funeral traffic by driving recklessly, taking up multiple lanes, or having occupants hanging out of open windows and sunroofs. Police sent citations for negligent driving through the mail to 13 vehicle owners.
Burglary from motor vehicle
On May 2, police responded to the 500 block of T homas Avenue, where a man re ported that a rear passenger window of his mom’s car was broken. His mom said over $3,600 wor th of property was stolen, including sunglasses, new clothes, a computer and phone. T he man said the car had been parked there for three days, and his neighbor re ported to police that he heard a car alarm at midnight, but didn’t see anyone in or around the car or on his Ring doorbell camera. T he man said he’d sign complaints if the offender was found
These items were obtained from Forest Park Police Department re ports dated April 29 - May 5 and re present a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Anyone named in these re ports has only been charged with a crime and cases have not yet been adjudicated. We re port the race of a suspect only when a serious crime has been committed, the suspect is still at large, and police have provided us with a detailed physical description of the suspect as they seek the public’s help in making an arrest.

to Ross’ 6,590 votes.
The newly elected board members were sworn in by Samuel Valtier re z, who served as board president since May 2024, and then took their seats at the table.
“I am devoted to our students,” Molinaro said. “Public education is a right, not a privile ge. It is both an honor and a humbling experience to hold this position. To know that thousands of people voted for me fills me with gratitude and responsibility.”
Smith expressed the excitement of the new board members and thanked Proviso 209 United for the group’s support and hard work in helping the campaign.
“We ran on community eng agement, fiscal responsibility and those are some of the things we are going to deliver on,” Smith said. “But we can’t do this alone. We need [you all]. We need [your] support. We need your ideas. We are open. Come talk to us.”
Morris, who won the most votes of any candidate in the 8-person race, also thanked the community for its support.
the past few years,” Mohip said. “We know there has been a lot of change, a lot of struggl e, but through it all you have landed in a better place and we know that the district, even in your absence, is going to continue moving forward in a positive direction.”
In her last board meeting, Grant took the time to thank the Proviso 209 United slate and express her excitement for the new board members.
“I want to thank the Democratic Party of Illinois, who spent $48,000 to show that this election for the Proviso 209 High School District Board of Education cannot be bought,” Grant added, also encouraging new and for mer board members to remain “vigilant” so “cor ruption” doesn’t invade the board. “If it gets up the foothold here, we know from the past, it will take over.”
Valtier re z said it was “amazing” how fast eight years on the board went by.
“I am proud of the new board members that were elected,” Valtier re z said. “It reminds me of the original board members elected in 2017, a team of eight people who were willing to work for the community and for the students. You have a set table.”
“I want every parent and every community member to know their voice matters in the decisions we make, so hold me accountable,” she said. “Tell me that I am wrong and let me have the opportunity to make it right.”
Fisher, who welcomed a baby during the election season, thanked his family and the community for its support.
The board also reorganized its leadership with Jennifer Barbahen as president, Morris as vice president and Smith now serving as secretary. All will serve one-year terms as board officers.
Patterson, who ran for a third term but was not reelected, also addressed the community during her last board meeting, saying she was proud of the campaign she ran and her slate mates. She also took her time to congratulate the new board members and urge them to “work tirelessly” on behalf of the Proviso community.
“As a community we must continue to prioritize our schools and ensure they provide world class education,” Patterson said. “We must advocate for policies that promote equity, inclusion and excellence.”
Prior to the swearing in ceremony, board members Amanda Grant, Rodney Alexander and Arbdella “Della” Patterson, alongside Valtier re z were honored for their service to the district and received a plaque to commemorate their time on the board. The plaques were presented by Superintendent Krish Mohip. Alexander was not in attendance to receive his plaque and sweatshirts. Mohip took an opportunity to thank the four board members for their time and dedication to the district.
“I really appreciate everything you have done, not just for me, but for everything you have done for the district over
Patterson said she will remain active in the school community as a parent advocate. Patterson also said “claims” made about her during this election campaign are “entirely untrue,” and that she “refused” to let anyone stain her name with those alle gations.
“I am not done yet. I will probably be back,” Patterson said, adding she will continue to attend board meetings.
Barbahen thanked the new board members and reiterated the mission of the board of education.
“We didn’t step up to play it safe,” she said. “We stepped up to make a difference together. We re present a renewed commitment to the accountability and the success of every student in our district.”
