Old School Records moves to Maywood following rent disputes

e store closes a er 22 years in Forest Park

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

On Friday, July 25, Peter Gianakopoulos, owner of Old School Records, packed up his inventory in cardboard boxes that covered most of the floor at 413 Des Plaines Ave.

Following a legal battle with his landlord, Jack Zayed, and 22 years of selling music in Forest Park, Gianakopoulos moved out that weekend and into a storefront at 709 S. 5th Ave. in Maywood. As of Aug. 1, he said he was still negotiating with the new landlord over his lease, for which he put down a four-month deposit, and is hoping to open on Sept. 1.

“I’m sad to leave Forest Park but hoping to make things better for Maywood because they don’t have a record store now. They haven’t for a long time,” Gianakopoulos said, adding that Reimer Records in Maywood closed a couple decades ago.

Before launching Old School Records, Gianakopoulos worked at a 2nd Hand Tunes store in Hyde Park, which he said was the highest performing of the company’s stores. When he moved to the Oak Park 2nd Hand Tunes, he said that it be-

Forest Park staff budgeted for a $9 million deficit for fiscal year 2025, which wrapped on April 30. hough the village still has a few bills to account for and hasn’t yet completed its audit, that number was down a bit after ending the 2024 fiscal year with a total deficit of $11 million.

But in fiscal year 2026, spanning from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026, the village expects $49 million in revenue and $63 million in expenditures, or a $15.4 million deficit.

The projection came as a part of the village’s appropriation process for the current fiscal year, when commissioners annually vote to establish legal spending limits for the village. After a budgeting discussion on July 28, commissioners unanimously passed the appropriation ordinance for the upcoming fiscal year at the village council meeting that same evening.

Local history event recalls Eastland Disaster of 1915

Historical Society memorializes the disaster that killed 844, over a hundred buried in Forest Park

By ELIZABETH SHORT Contributing Reporter

Edward “Ed” Muska, a Western Electric employee born to Czech immigrants, boarded the S.S. Eastland early on the morning of July 24, 1915. He, along with more than 2,500 other passengers and crew members, were headed to Michigan City, Indiana for the company’s annual picnic.

However, at 7:10 a.m., while the Eastland was still docked in the Chicago River, the boat began to list, and just after 7:28 it rolled onto its side. Muska and hundreds of other passengers were thrown into the water as the ship capsized. Muska was luckier than hundreds of others: he survived.

Two residents of Forest Park, Gertrude Stork and William Ristow, were among the victims of the disaster, which took the lives

BUDGET

from page 1

Village Administrator Rachell Entler said at the start of the budget discussion that the conversation usually entails having staff go line-by-line through budget items. But she did that with department heads ahead of the meeting so village staff could instead discuss bigger picture questions — like how to get the village out of a $15.4 million deficit.

“I’ll be the first to say, when I saw that, I freaked out,” Entler said, adding that there’s a deficit across all the village’s funds.

Some of the largest price tags for fiscal year 2026 include new police cars and public works vehicles, water main projects and lead service line replacement. Other spending priorities include planning for building repairs and water reservoir improvements, public

of 844 people, of whom 133 are buried in Forest Park. The wester n Chicago and suburban region were greatly impacted by the disaster, as many in the area worked at Western Electric’s Hawthorn Works factory in Cicero.

The Historical Society of Forest Park hosted “Remembering the Eastland Disaster: 110 Years Later” at Casa Humilde on Saturday, Aug. 2. The event included an hour-long program from the Eastland Disaster Historical Society (EDHS). Attendees also received a booklet guide to the victims of the disaster buried in Forest Park, which was originally created in 2015 by the Historical Society of Forest Park and updated this year.

The Eastland Disaster caused more passenger deaths than the sinking of the Titanic and is the greatest tragedy in terms of loss of life in the Great Lakes region. However, the crisis is often overlooked in Chicago history, and many locals remain unaware of it. The EDHS has worked since 1998 to bring the story of those involved to the public.

Sisters Susan Decker and Barbara Decker Wachholz, co-founders of the EDHS, led the presentation, which covered the history, causes, impact and aftermath of the tragedy. Decker and Wachholz are the granddaughters of Eastland survivor Borghild “Bobbie” Aanstad, and the personal stories of many victims, survivors and first responders were

at the core of their presentation.

The EDHS always begins and ends its presentations with the stories of George “Papa Bear” Halas and Charles “Reggie” Bowles Halas, who was supposed to board the Eastland the morning of the disaster but showed up late, would go on to be the founder and owner of the Chicago Bears. Bowles was a 17-year-old volunteer diver who recovered 40 bodies from the ship wreckage and earned the name “The Human Frog” from veteran divers. While Halas found a life of fame, Bowles’s story has been largely forgotten.

“There’s no reason to forget people whether they become rich or famous or not,” said Ted Wachholz, co-founder and executive director of EDHS. “Somebody once said that you’re not forgotten until the last time that your name is said, so if we can keep saying the people’s names and telling their stories then their memories will live on.”

Craig Scott, who lives in Brookfield and grew up hearing stories of the disaster from his great uncle Ed Muska, attended the presentation. Scott, a retired firefighter paramedic, was especially struck by a photo of a first responder holding the body of a dead child. “He’s holding this lifeless girl, she looked maybe five to six years old,” he said. “And just the look in his eyes is so telling.”

Scott said that he had also carried lifeless

children during his career. “It’s one thing if you’re dealing with one person like that or one child like that, but look at the volume of victims they had,” he said. “That’s just unbelievable.”

After the presentation, a small group of attendees traveled down Madison Street to Concordia Cemetery, where victims of the Eastland Disaster are buried. The Historical Society of Forest Park has identified these graves and geotagged their locations

Muska, a strong swimmer, survived the Eastland Disaster. Later he would tell stories to his family about having clumps of hair torn out of his head as panicked victims attempted to climb out of the water. He also recalled pulling others to safety. Scott remembers Muska as somebody who could play four different instruments and who built a family cabin in Wisconsin. Muska’s best friend died in the disaster after going below deck to listen to music. While Scott cannot recall this friend’s name, the EDHS exists to keep these names and stories alive.

safety and services, and pension liability management.

The projected deficit doesn’t account for the village’s reserves or savings and operates under the assumption that the village will be fully staffed, which it likely won’t be in certain departments. Regardless, the village is bound to be millions in the hole this time next year, unless something notable changes.

To reduce the deficit, Entler said the village has a few options. It could try to cut expenditures, though Entler said she’s sat down with department heads to streamline costs as much as possible. The village could also increase revenue through taxes or fees or prioritize economic development through corridor revitalization and redevelopment. Or the village could explore structural refor ms for healthcare cost control, multi-year budgeting and pension liability. The latter, for example, caused the village to funnel nearly $1 million more of its property taxes into pension funds from 2024 to 2025.

When it comes to reducing expenses, vil-

lage staff have discussed in previous budget meetings the options of leasing police and fleet vehicles, amending its crossing guard agreement and altering leaf pickup processes

Entler said she and Police Chief Ken Gross are talking with Enterprise about a program where police cars, and possibly even specialty vehicles for the public works department, are replaced every two or three years. She said Enterprise will present the village with an estimate for the vehicles in August.

To cut costs, the village may not help sponsor school crossing guards this year. According to Entler, the crossing guard program is run through the village, and the cost is split in half between it and School District 91. But workers’ compensation liability has increased, and the village often has trouble staffing crossing guards, so police fill in. Village officials estimate that Forest Park would save over $50,000 a year by removing its sponsorship, though the village has included the program in this fiscal year budget. Commis-

sioners asked Entler to contact D91 about amending their contract for the program, and if D91 needs more time to work out a new contract, Entler said she will come back to the council

Though amending leaf pickup could reduce expenses by $100,000, it likely won’t be changing, largely because of the concer n residents shared at last year’s town hall that some locals physically aren’t able to pick up their leaves.

“We’re going to have to do it regardless,” Entler said of the village picking up leaves. “We can take on a bit more of an aggressive campaign this year and encourage people to bag, compost or mulch their leaves.”

Increasing revenue

With few cost-saving options for the village, officials are also exploring how to bump up their intake of money

Danny Davis to retire from Congress after nearly 30 years

e longtime representative of Illinois’ 7th district endorses La Shawn Ford

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

A crowd of over 100 locals and members of the media gathered at the West Side office of Cong. Danny Davis on July 31 to hear whether he would choose to run for a 16th term.

After nearly 30 years re presenting Illinois’ 7th congressional district, Davis announced he won’t be seeking reelection next year, instead declaring his retirement come Jan. 2027.

Davis started the press conference at 2815 W. Fifth Ave. with exuberant thanks to those who have supported him up-close, like his wife of 55 years, and from afar.

“I want to thank the people who offer to pump my gas at the service station when I pull in there in the morning to get some gasoline. I want to thank the folks at the supermarket when I go grocery shopping, who ask if I want to take their place in line,” Davis said. “I really want to thank the thousands who believed we could make a difference.”

When asked by the media why he’s retiring now, Davis, 83, said it’s largely because of his age.

“I’ve got a brand-new rocking chair. I’m

going to sit back in rocking chair and relax a little bit,” Davis said, adding that he’s looking forward to sleeping in. But he plans to remain eng aged by researching paigning to Democrats elected.

Davis said he hopes that his le ga gress will be that he inspired and acti people to get eng in policy at level.

“The only I have is I didn doing this earlier,” Davis said. “Chicago, Il linois has done some marvelous things. The road has not always been the easiest, but I’ll tell you, I’ve had so much fun.”

Davis started his career in public office in 1979. He served as alderman of the 29th Ward for 11 years and on the Cook County Board of Commissioners for six years. He was elected to Congress to re present the 7th district in 1997 and, since then, has brought billions of dollars to his district by advocating for af fordable housing, health care and education. He said he was instrumental in writing the Af fordable Care Act.

“There have been changes, positive and re gressive. But you know, there also comes a time when one decides that there are new avenues, new approaches, new opportunities,” he said.

Endorsing La Shawn Ford

Davis also endorsed State Re p. La Shawn Ford, 53 and an Austin native, for his seat, pointing to Ford’s commitment to, and understanding of, the community.

“It is my honor, it is my pleasure, and it is my delight to endorse you,” Davis said to Ford as the crowd started chanting the state re presentative’s last name. Davis said he’s excited to have “a young, seasoned person who can grow into leadership.” He added, “You don’t have to be old, and you don’t have to have gray hair, to re present.”

“This is a big deal. The biggest deal of all is that Congressman Davis has passed the torch, but told me, ‘You’ve got to finish the race,’” Ford said. “It didn’t come easy. I feel

ing up, I always noticed a bond dad and Congressman Davis,” the state re presentative’s daughter, who said the public officials are “cut from the same cloth.”

“I am deeply thankful and gratefully accept the endorsement of Congressman Davis, a true champion of our community,” said. “Your support, Congressman Davis, is not just an honor. It’s a strong affirmation of our shared mission to uplift r the people we serve.”

In an interview with Ford that was embargoed until Davis announced his retirement and endorsement, Ford told Growing Community Media that, if elected, he’ll focus on helping people who are unhoused, are reentering society after incarceration fordable health care. He also said he’d help end the continuing war on drugs.

At the July 31 press conference, Ford said he’d collaborate with Re publicans, as he has for nearly 18 years as a state re presentative in Springfield, as “meaningful progress requires communication.” In his current position, Ford has also “learned that authentic leadership involves building relationships and fostering open dialogue. It’s about understanding the challenges and crafting solutions together.”

Ford added, “I am prepared to collaborate with stakeholders, families, businesses, hospitals, nonprofits, and advocates within the 7th congressional district to build a more vibrant community by working together to craft policy that genuinely meets our shared needs.”

Other candidates who have filed to fill Davis’ seat come the primary election in March include Chicago attorney Jason Friedman, for mer Marine John McCombs, pastor Jerico J. Brown, Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins, and Richard Boykin, Davis’ for mer chief of staf f who was later elected to re present the 1st District on the Cook County Board of Commissioners. Tekita Mar tinez and Danica David Leigh are also running, and Emelia Rosie filed with no political party affiliation. Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin also announced she’s running, but hasn’t yet filed.

Davis endorses La Shawn Ford, announces retirement

State Rep. Ford shares what Davis’ support means and his priorities if elected

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

After weeks of speculation about whether Danny Davis would choose to run again for Illinois’ 7th congressional district — a position he’s held since 1997 — the congressman announced at a July 31 press conference that he’s retiring and endorsing La Shawn Ford in the Democratic primary election in March 2026.

Ford currently serves as state representative for Illinois’ 8th district, which covers parts of Chicago’s Austin neighborhood and the western suburbs. Earlier this month, Ford broke the news to Austin Weekly News that he wouldn’t be seeking reelection. The announcement came around the time he filed to run for Illinois’ 7th congressional district. But Ford said, if Davis decided to run again, he’d retire from politics Ford’s political career will now continue if he wins the primary for the 7th district congressional district — which represents parts of Cook County like Oak Park, Forest Park, River Forest and much of Chicago’s West Side — and then the general election in Nov. 2026. And he now has a leg up with a significant endorsement.

“When someone gives you their endorsement, that means a lot. That’s putting their reputation out there,” Ford told Austin Weekly News in an interview embargoed until Davis’ announcement. He added that it feels even more significant getting support from someone whose job he’s running for. “If I’m going to endorse you because you’re running for alderman, or if I endorse you because you’re running for senate, that’s different than ‘I’m going to endorse you to actually carry on my legacy in the U.S. House.’”

“It puts you at an advantage, and it gives people the confidence that you’re ready,” Ford said. He added that Davis’ endorsement helps with public opinion of Ford, since the state representative said Davis has respect from both his constituents and

peers in Washington, D.C. “To have him as a mentor and someone who will continue to help in the process, if there’s a win, is huge. You don’t start off on ground zero.”

Ford said he and Davis share a lot of the same values, especially when it comes to legislation on helping people who are unhoused, use substances, are reentering society after incarceration or need affordable health care.

which the congressman introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives. The federal law, passed in 2008 with bipartisan support, mandates that the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs fund grants for state and local gover nment, plus nonprofits, that go toward reentry support and reducing recidivism. This includes resources for helping people with substance use, finding employment and housing.

struggling to secure jobs or apartments because of their records. Such meetings and relationships with locals, Ford said, are one of Davis’ assets

“It really is a piece of legislation that changed the way America looks at people who have had criminal records,” Ford said.

“Some people go to Cong ress, and they never pass anything. This bill has put millions

“I will definitely join the forces making sure that Obamacare is fully restored and that those who need to have preventive care have it,” Ford said. Davis “is a strong healthcare cong essperson, so that helps already established.”

He added that he also wants to champion work against prosecuting people with lowlevel offenses, like cannabis and psychedelics.

“These are things that we really need to address in our gover nment to stop the war on drugs, causing people to become criminals for these types of offenses,” Ford said.

Ford said one of Davis’ successes he’s most proud of is the Second Chance Act,

all over, in Republican districts and in Democratic districts. Red and blue states have benefited from Cong ressman Davis’ Second Chance Act.”

Building on the Second Chance Act, Ford passed a bill in Illinois in 2015 that allows ex-offenders to seal criminal records for non-violent offenses. He said requests for such legislation came out of his meetings with the community, who saw those trying to return to society after incarceration

“Community is where his strongest strength is,” Ford said. “You see people walk up to Congressman Davis as if he’s not a congressman. They walk up to him and call him ‘Danny’ because every day he’s out there with the people. That’s another thing that I admire, and that’s my approach.”

But Ford said he is also aware that there’s a balance between honoring your predecessor’s work and bringing a new perspective. Ford said he plans to use technology as a resource more than Davis has. While Ford said there are few, if any, areas where Davis hasn’t fought for more funding, he brings a unique view on higher education after working with colleges and universities throughout the state on their annual budgets.

“I know that there is some work to be done, and there are some groups that we can unite with, to fight for college affordability and less debt,” Ford said.

Working on budgets within Illinois, Ford has seen how the state gets significantly less funding than others.

“We have to get more money from the federal gover nment back to Illinois,” Ford said, which could lead to not raising taxes again for Illinois residents

Aside from his knowledge about budgeting in Illinois, Ford said he’s learned a lot about patience while being a state re presentative. He also said he’s become well-versed in being present when the community needs him, like during the Covid-19 pandemic, the floods on the West Side of Chicago in the summer of 2023, and throughout the opioid crisis.

“Many people think that you have to pass a bill in order to be successful. That’s not always necessary. What’s necessary is to support the community and build coalitions around the community so that their issues are heard,” Ford said. But that “doesn’t happen over night,” he added.

“Those who have done public policy or are new to it may not understand that it takes time to build trust, and it takes time to build community around an issue,” Ford said. “You don’t want to just [pass] public policy that can harm and have unintended consequences without public input. It takes time, and I’ve lear ned that.”

Dem party role contested as Davis retires, Welch and Harmon vie for sea

With cash on hand, both leaders seek key pa

By BILL DWYER Contributing Reporter

The July 31 announcement that long-time 7th District Congressman Danny K. Davis was not running for re-election has changed the local political dynamics in more ways than one

Don Harmon, State Senate President and Democratic Oak Park Township Committeeman, said Sunday that he will be circulating nominating petitions for the party office of 7th District State Central Committeeman, an office Davis has held since 1998.

Meanwhile, Harmon’s counterpart in the Illinois General Assembly, House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch has started actively campaigning for the post and has secured an endorsement from Davis and 18 other political figures, including River Forest Village President Cathy Adduci and State Rep. LaShawn Ford.

Minutes after Davis’s July 31 press conference in which he endorsed Ford for his seat in Congress, Welch released a statement trumpeting “Endorsement List Grows” for his campaign for Davis’s state central committeeman seat.

The endorsements were bannered on In-

stagram and X, and a copy lease was posted on the Democrats Illinois House website. Under the headline “The momentum is grow trademark exclamation point, he framed hi running for the position as leadership, winning coalitions and the will to fight to make people’s lives a little easier

Monday morning Davis stepping down from the State mittee next year and was endorsing Welch for the seat. “I haven’t had a press release put out yet, but I will,” he said.

Davis did not go into detail regarding why he endorsed Welch, although he noted that Proviso Township “is a good part of the (7th) district.”

“The state central committee is supposed to help develop policy for the party and help organize the area,” Davis said. “To (foster) participation and get registration to vote.”

Davis said he expected Harmon to run for the central committeeman seat, saying, “Don told me if I didn’t run, he would. I’m not sur-

Eileen Lynch said Sunday that Harmon was traveling on legislative business and unavailable to speak directly to the media. She forwarded a brief statement acknowledging the recent political developments, and a one sentence statement from Harmon saying he was “planning to circulate petitions as I have in the past several elections, and I’ll evaluate the field as we approach filing (deadline).”

For 15 years, Harmon has eyed a seat on the powerful Democratic State Central Committee. Twice in the time period — in 2009 and in 2022 — Harmon has stepped back after Davis chose to run for re-election, saying he would not oppose Davis

“I didn’t know what the congressman’s intentions were when I collected the signatures,” Harmon told Wednesday Journal in 2022. There was similar uncertainty in 2009, when Davis said the misunderstanding was due to his waiting until the last moment to file his own nominating petitions.

If Harmon does in fact choose to run for committeeman, it would set up a contest that would be both very expensive and likely be portrayed as a public internal fissure in the state Democratic Party heading into an unusu-

Welch is the Democratic Committeeman for Proviso Township, which is immediately west of Oak Park

Welch has clearly been working for some time behind the scenes to secure crucial political support outside his and Harmon’s power bases. Besides Ford, who represents North Austin and part of the near west suburbs, Welch has secured the support of four Chicago politicians from areas on the West Side of Chicago crucial to being elected in the 7th Congressional District, including long-time 37th Ward Alderwoman Emma Mitts and recently retired 27th Ward Alderman Walter Bur nett.

He is also endorsed by State Representative Jawaharial ‘Omar’ Williams (D-10) and State Representative Kam Buckner (D-26). William’s district covers parts of Austin, East Garfield Park, West Garfield Park and the near west side. Buckner represents Bronzeville and parts of downtown.

Avenue location in 2017, he said rent was nearly $2,800.

“Here, I started in 2017 at $1,500, and he already had me up to $2,000 in eight years,” Gianakopoulos said of his Des Plaines Avenue landlord. Gianakopoulos added that his rent in Maywood will start around the same price as his first two locations, but with smaller annual increases

“After three, five years, I won’t even be anywhere near what I’m paying now,” he said.

“In the future, I would just buy my own building, live upstairs and have a store underneath it. And maybe one day I will,” Gianakopoulos added. But his ultimate goal is to also have a recording studio, since he had a record label before Old School Records. “My actual dream is to own the building, have a recording studio in the back, a record label in the middle and a retail store in the front, all under Old School Records.”

Gianakopoulos said that issues with Zayed intensified last October, when he fell behind on two months of rent after a hard year

of sales. There was a sign reading “lost my lease” in his window, but the store remained open.

“Since I’ve been here eight years, after I bounced a few checks, he says he threw my lease out and then made me month-tomonth,” Gianakopoulos said.

Zayed, who’s been a landlord since 1980, said last year wasn’t the first time Gianakopoulos fell behind on rent.

“For seven years [he’s been] bouncing checks. At one point last year, I told him I will not accept your personal checks,” Zayed said.

“He doesn’t pay his rent, and I’ve been asking him nicely to leave the store because I lost my insurance policy because of him.” Zayed said that inspectors from an insurance company visited Old School Records and said it was a fire hazard. After repeatedly asking Gianakopoulos to clean up the store or move out, Zayed said he took him to court. He said they’ve been to court seven times, and that he’s never had to take a tenant to court before

Then on June 13, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office locked Gianakopoulos out of Old School Records.

“I had late rent, but all I got was a letter in the mail the day before,” Gianakopoulos said. He added that he paid December, January, February and March rent at the end of March, and he paid April’s rent in June.

According to Zayed, a judge signed off on Gianakopoulos’ eviction at a court date that the store owner wasn’t present for. Zayed said he told Gianakopoulos to meet him and the sheriff at Old School Records on June 13 to evict him, but he didn’t show up, so they called a locksmith and put a sign on the door restricting anyone to enter

Then, Gianakopoulos said he filed a motion in court that was overturned, and he was able to return to his store on June 28.

“He said he’s wanted me out for two years,” Gianakopoulos said of Zayed. “I said ‘Fine, give me 30 days and then I’ll get out.’” His last day in the store was July 27. There was a “For Rent” sign in the window the following day.

“He was still coming in and harassing me, and I had to go back to the court instead of being here another day of work,” Gianakopoulos said of Zayed. “He’s violated many terms of the order, and he keeps coming here, the whole time we were in court this year, constantly threatening me on busy Saturdays with customers in the store.”

Zayed said Gianakopoulos harassed him, “called me all kinds of names and is always very threatening,” Zayed said. He added that Gianakopoulos left three dumpsters worth of stuff in his storefront after moving out.

Though Gianakopoulos said he still owes rent for May, June and a prorated fee for July,

“With me being locked out, I don’t think I owe him anything,” he said. “I lost more money than I owe.” Gianakopoulos estimates that, over the two weeks he couldn’t access his storefront, he missed out on at least $8,000 in online and in-store sales. Gianakopoulos said that amount doesn’t account for legal fees or his emotional distress

Zayed said that the judge ordered a judgment that Gianakopoulos owes Zayed $13,600 in rent he hasn’t paid.

Gianakopoulos said a couple factors play into why he’s been late on his Des Plaines Avenue rent every month this year, including his health and a decline in sales.

In 2023, Gianakopoulos was hospitalized with diverticulitis. He had to close Old School Records for two weeks and got behind on rent. He had another diverticulitis bout this spring and fell behind on rent again. Last month, he was hospitalized for gallstones and had to close the store. Gianakopoulos has been Old School Records’ sole employee for the past several years.

Last October, Gianakopoulos said he struggled with sales in 2024, saying that streaming services are the main reason why.

“I’m just hoping the economy kicks around,” Gianakopoulos previously told the Review in 2024. “It was a lot harder this

Hoarding, deceased dogs

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

Police responded to a Marengo Avenue residence on July 28 for a welfare check after a woman’s son requested that police do so because of a “hoarding situation,” according to the police report. Officers said they’ve previously been called to the house for welfare checks and for complaints about barking dogs. Police said they met two sons and two daughters of the home’s resident at the house, who said they previously found two dead dogs inside the home. In a video of the inside the home that the family showed to police, officers reported seeing four dogs and over 10 cats, plus floors covered in dirt, feces and boxes. Police reported a smell of feces and urine from the home’s back door, where there were also two trash bags with the remains of the two dogs.

When police made contact with the woman, she said two cats had died before police corrected her. She then said the two dogs died last night, though police report that the dogs’ decomposition suggests they’d died before then. The woman first refused medical service but then agreed to go to Loyola University Medical Center. Police contacted Forest Park Social Worker Evelyn Simmons, who contacted the social worker at Loyola to advise them of the situation.

Police also contacted Building Department Director Steve Glinke, who deemed the residence uninhabitable and said he’d speak to those involved to develop a plan of action, according to police. Police suggested that the woman’s children contact Cook County Animal Control and the Oak Park Animal Care League to find a home for the woman’s animals

Aggravated assault

Police responded to 420 Des Plaines Ave. on July 29 after a man called to say another man threatened him with a knife. When police arrived, he told them he was waiting for the bus at Des Plaines and Madison around noon when a man approached and asked him for the time. He ignored him because the man seemed agitated, then the man brandished a pocket knife and came toward him. The offender ran west down Monroe Street when the man got out his phone to call police, who canvassed the area with negative results

Fight

On July 31, police were called to the Walgreens at 7200 Roosevelt Rd. for four men

fighting in the parking lot. Three ran aw from the nearby Shell gas station when po lice arrived. The man who stayed was hand cuffed as a woman with a bloody nose came up and started yelling at him. She wouldn’t answer police questions and walked away. The man told police that he was hanging out with his two friends when a woman came up to them, started yelling, and threatened to pepper spray them. He told police that his friends tried to take the pepper spray from the woman, resulting in a cut on her nose, before an unknown man came up and yelled at the group for fighting with her. The man hit one of them, resulting in a physical altercation. The handcuffed man told police that he didn’t wish to press charges against the man who hit him.

Assault

On Aug. 1, police responded to J & J Fish & Chicken on Harlem Avenue after a woman was threatening to spray patrons with pepper spray. Police found the woman sitting in her car in the parking lot and ordered her to step out, which she did. The woman said she ordered food from the business and wanted to return it for a refund, but the staff was disrespectful and threw her money back at her. She said she felt threatened because the staff was all men. An employee told police that the woman was given a full refund, but started arguing before leaving the shop, returning with pepper spray, then threatening to spray him and have someone come shoot up the restaurant. The woman was charged with assault.

Accident

Police were dispatched to Harlem and Franklin on Aug. 3 before 9 a.m. for an accident with injuries. Police reported that a car was against Pretty Little Things and that the driver inside was confused and disoriented Police said there weren’t any signs of alcohol or drug use and the woman was taken to Rush Oak Park Hospital. Police notified the business owners and public works department. These items were obtained from Forest Park Police Department reports dated July 28 - August 3 and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Anyone named in these reports has only been charged with a crime and cases have not yet been adjudicated. We report 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.

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Right choice by Danny Davis

Thanks to Congressman Danny Davis

Thanks for the work you have done over decades, from Chicago’s City Council to the county board, and for nearly 30 years in Washington as the 7th District’s congressman.

And thanks for choosing to retire now.

The nationwide push for decisive generational change among Democrats in power is real and it is right. This country is in for the fight of its life as the work of saving democracy is now immediate and profound.

Traditional politics — of incremental change and the moral arc of history bending toward justice and compromise with rational opponents — is dead. And we do need new leadership at the congressional level, ready to take up this fight with new tools and fresh energy

We hope there are other elders holding on to Democratic seats in Congress who will take Danny Davis’ path toward a graceful retirement and the chance to be feted before their deaths for the le gitimately important work they have done.

For Davis, there has been steady progressive leadership with breakout issues such as the Second Chance Act, which opens up hope and a path for our fellow citizens coming out of prison. Davis has been the decisive leader of this successful effort, though there is, of course, more work to be done

Davis also gets credit for working to choose his successor with his endorsement of State Rep. La Shawn Ford. There are now a number of candidates entering this race with a range of credentials. It will be a highly contested primary next March It is inevitable and positive that an open seat for Congress in a safe Democratic district will attract a bevy of contenders.

Davis could have taken the safer route and announced that he would not endorse in the race, touting the advantages of an open primary. Instead, after what we know was a long courtship, he is decisively backing Ford. We have covered Rep. Ford for decades and know he is smart, decent, progressive, community-connected and politically-savvy

Davis and Ford share some notable history on the West Side and the near west suburbs. Both were schoolteachers and had nonprofit experience before they went into politics. And they share a certain personal style of quiet fire, congeniality and a sense of institutional knowledge.

Interesting days ahead.

That unsustainable de cit

We have no doubt that restaurants in Forest Park are feeling it. Like restaurants everywhere, food prices keep rising, margins are cut and economic uncertainty is real.

That said, also real is the enor mous deficit the village of Forest Park is mired in So while the restaurants inevitably opposed a new tax on dining out during a budget hearing last week, at some point elected of ficials have to find new revenues The proposed 1% tax would have raised $500K. The electeds punted. Again. Not sustainable.

For the record, keeping small papers alive

While Tom Holmes is on a medical hiatus, we’re printing a few of our favorite columns from the past. Here is one by John Rice from August of 2023:

Inever fully understood the value of an independent weekly newspaper until I watched a PBS re port on the demise of a small-town newspaper in Texas. The Canadian Record closed its doors after 132 years of covering the small town of Canadian, Texas. The loss of the newspaper was mour ned by supporters as well as those who didn’t agree with the paper’s editorials.

The newspaper served a town of 2,600 in a largely rural area. The residents were described as “tough but empathetic. Forwardlooking and conservative.” These conservatives transformed the area into MAGA country. The Record’s political views, however, didn’t match those of its readers. Back in the day, the newspaper’s longtime publisher, Ben Ezzell, wrote “no-nonsense editorials” opposing the Vietnam War and supporting the Civil Rights Movement.

Local rancher Steve Rader did not agree with the newspaper’s editorials but said, “They always made me think.” He got choked up talking about the newspaper’s demise. He admitted that, “It feels personal. Our paper spoiled us. It celebrated our successes.”

It also chronicled their tragedies. In 2017, a wildfire devastated Rader’s ranch, destroying buildings, equipment and cattle. After The Record published a story about the fire, Rader received help from every part of the country. People donated hay and feed. One woman even gave him 10 cows.

Losing the paper was like a death in the family for many readers. Maybe that’s because the same family published it for 75 years. Ezzell and his wife Nancy took over the paper in 1948. Nancy penned her column, “Petticoat Patter,” for the next 55 years. When Ben died in 1993, their daughter Laurie Ezzell Brown stepped up Brown covered countless board meetings,

reported from scenes of fires and storms and wrote editorials on national issues that had local impact. She worked with Nancy until she died in 2013. The newspaper lost revenue and operated on a shoestring budget. Many staf fers left. Brown searched in vain for a successor, but the newspaper folded on March 2, which was a very hard day for “The Wrecking Crew.” “Local news reminds people of what they have in common,” Brown said. “It reminds them we’re facing the same challenges. Information is powerful,” she continued, “Information is key to democracy.” A reader named John Julian ag reed. “I don’t know who the candidates are. I no longer feel educated.” When local newspapers fold, it results in a lack of oversight of school districts and local gover nment, which can lead to greater corruption. A lack of educated voters can result in lower voter tur nout or more straight-ticket voting. How can democracy stay strong without local newspapers?

How will we celebrate the achievements of local residents? How will we lear n about local history and honor lives well lived. The paper lets us know what crimes are being committed. It tells us what businesses are opening and which are shutting down. It publicizes our cultural events and our gatherings for just plain fun.

People may not ag ree with The Review editorials. Others do not trust the newspaper to be fair in its reporting. Readers find factual errors in ar ticles. But The Review has remained an independent news source for 106 years. We don’t practice cookie-cutter journalism with stories that appeal to a re gion but not a specific town. We’re not a Republican newspaper, or a Democratic newspaper We ignore national politics for the most part to focus on local elections

When I watched the report about The Record, a saying came to mind: “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.”

BUDGET

$15M de cit from page 3

One possible avenue that’s been discussed at previous meetings is to create a 1-to-2% tax at restaurants and eateries in Forest Park. Officials estimate that a 1% tax would bring $500,000 to the village. But at the July 28 budget discussion, all four public commenters asked commissioners not to pass a place of eating tax.

Laurie Kokenes, executive director of the Forest Park Chamber of Commerce, said she’s heard from several restaurant owners who are members of the Chamber that they have had slower business recently.

“They’re concerned that a potential place of eating tax would negatively impact them,” Kokenes said during public comment.

Joseph Sullivan, owner of Duffy’s Taver n, also spoke against the tax.

“One of my fears about 1-to-2% is that, to residents of Forest Park and other people who don’t know the industry, it doesn’t seem like much,” Sullivan said. “For a restaurant that grosses $500,000, that’s $10,000 additionally a year. With all due respect, if you think that a restaurant that grosses $500,000 a year is swimming in profits and has $10,000 to give, frankly you’re wrong. You don’t understand what we do for a living.”

“I don’t think a lot of you realize that an average restaurant profit margin is 3-to5%,” said Dennis Miller, an owner of Duck Fat. “My real estate taxes last year went up $40,000. You see driving down Madison Street how many of the restaurants are closed.”

As a result of the public commenters, commissioners agreed to not pursue a place of eating tax for now and instead focus on filling empty storefronts downtown to increase revenue.

“Anything that’s going to make your livelihood more difficult is not something I want to sit here and talk about,” said Maria Maxham, commissioner of accounts and finance, addressing the public commenters directly.

Another suggested path for more revenue is a parking amnesty program and boot program — both of which commissioners directed Entler to move forward with.

According to Gross, since January 2024, the village has seen close to $2 million in uncollected money from tickets and citations

“Right now, there’s not really a consequence for not paying,” Entler said. As a solution, she suggested instituting a parking amnesty program that allows people to

reduce the amount owed for past tickets if they pay in a certain time frame. She also suggested a program, which was suspended during Covid-19, which would allow police to boot cars after so many unpaid tickets.

At the end of the budget discussion, Ryan Nero, commissioner of public health and safety, suggested pursuing property tax reallocation.

Of the property taxes that the village of Forest Park collects, about 75% go toward the village’s schools, park district, and library. Schools get about 62% of that, and the village receives under 14%.

Nero said, of about $50 million that Forest Park gets in property tax revenue, the village only gets $7 million, while D91 gets closer to $19 million. According to Nero, that’s $26 million for under 700 students, or $38,000 per student when the state average for kindergarten through eighth grade is $16,000.

To amend this difference in percentage, Nero called on residents to create awareness of the inequity and potentially collect signatures to change the amount of property tax Forest Park is allocated

Michelle Melin-Rogovin, commissioner of streets and public improvement, doesn’t think it’s that easy. She said the Cook County Assessor’s Office decides how real estate tax is appropriated to different taxing bodies.

“The questions that you’re raising are factors of state law,” Melin-Rogovin said to Nero

Jessica Voogd, commissioner of public property, added that the village has a capped levy for how much it can ask the county to increase its share of property taxes, so even if the county appropriated less money to D91, it likely wouldn’t go to the village. So, Voogd suggested lobbying the D91 school board to ask if they might share some of their funds with the village

Entler said she’ll ask the village’s legal team about the possibility of a nonbinding local referendum or state legislation that would amend the village’s property tax allocation. She said she’ ll report back to commissioners with her findings, ending the meeting with few solidified paths forward for significant ways to reduce the village’s deficit.

“We sit here as a council year after year and talk about how we’re going to increase revenue, but we’ve never actually done it,” Maxham said during the portion of the budget discussion about places of eating tax. While she said that specific avenue is a hit to restaurant owners, the council needs to agree on how to get the village into a healthier spot. “We can’t continue the way that we’re going financially.”
