Oak Park Village Board passes new ordinance on e-bikes

By SYDNEY LOVAN Reporting Intern

The focus will be on education not enforcement

The Oak Park Village Board unanimously voted to adopt a new ordinance on e-bikes, e-scooters and other micromobility devices on July 14. That ordinance goes into effect immediately.

This ordinance mirrors Senate Bill 3484 which passed the state legislature unanimously in June and now awaits action from Gov. JB Pritzker. If he signs the bill, it will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2027. The bill proposed more comprehensive regulations on higher power and speed devices that do not fall within the three classes already defined.

For class 1 and 2 low-speed e-bikes which are peddle or throttle assisted and only go up to 20 miles per hour, one must be 15 to ride The age requirement goes up to 16, or 18 if there is a passenger, for class 3 e-bikes.

A rider of a high-speed bike with a motor of 750 or more watts that can go faster than 28 miles per hour must be 16 or older and have a driver’s license, title, registration and insurance.

All electric devices, including e-skateboards and low-speed scooters, are prohibited from riding on sidewalks

Oak Park Police Chief Shatonya Johnson and Deputy Chief Roderick Robinson presented their plans and existing efforts for this new ordinance at the meeting. This was a coordinated effort with the village’s transportation commission and board of health. Police will mostly focus on education with enforcement efforts only for the most “egregious acts.”

“We’ve agreed that regardless of what the regulations are, regardless of when they’re implemented, there needs to be something out there that communicates how to use these devices safely, and to make people aware of the risks that are involved,” said Greg Olsen, Oak Park’s public health director, during the meeting.

The village launched a safety campaign called “E-ride Ready” emphasizing the five ways to ride safely and additional infor mation on risks for these devices. Additional educational materials will be shared through social media, online and in physical forms

like brochures. They also plan to partner with Oak Park schools once they reopen to reach children directly.

One of the safe driving recommendations is to protect your head, but state law does not mandate helmets therefore the village has no power to enforce that aspect. Village attorney Greg Smith called it “a real spaghetti bowl of preemption language.”

Trustee Cory Wesley shared his frustration with this and questioned how officers would be able to effectively know the age of the children riding devices and what speed they are going.

“I have some concerns there around how we plan to actually enforce this in a way that doesn’t create an undue burden both on the people who are riding these devices and on our police force who are now being asked to distinguish the indistinguishable,” said Wesley.

Ideas to encourage the use of helmets such as doing giveaways or offering a subsidy were mentioned during the discussion.

Trustee James Taglia said he is in favor of “education, education and more education,” however, he also is interested in enforcing violations committed by children through their parents. Under Illinois state law, parents cannot allow their children to violate the vehicle code and assume civil liability.

“These parents are dummies letting their kids run around on these motorized vehicles, and I think that they should be held accountable,” Taglia said.

He clarified later in the meeting that he does not support enforcement to “seek out, profile or cause trauma to little kids,” but does believe if the village only relies on education, kids will not learn the difference.

Pritzker has 60 days from June 30 to approve or veto Senate Bill 3484.

RF township, village near deal on Civic Center building

With major repairs needed, village may assume cont

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

It appears likely that the Village of River Forest will soon be taking over ownership and management of the River Forest Civic Center building. At the ing of the Board of Managers Forest Civic Center Authority, the governmental entity that currently owns and manages the Civic Center, a two page draft for discussion, as well as some brie comments from John the River Forest Township Supervisor who serves on the Civic Center’s Board of Managers made clear there have b tive discussions with the vi about the village taking Civic Center, which is located 8020 W. Madison St

An agenda item for the meeting said, “W are actively exploring the possibility of consolidating the River Forest Civic thority (RFCCA) into the co-terminus municipality, the Village of River Forest, before the end of the summer 2026.” The agenda item was designated as a “draft for discussion.”

“No comment; we’re not speculating,” Becvar said.

In a telephone interview with We day Journal River Forest Village President Cathy Adduci declined to say specificall whether the village wants to take ov vic Center building but did say the village ould take no action on the matter until after Civic Center Boar Managers acts. n’t answer that not ours to take dduci said. “It would be inappropriate for me to comment on anything that the Civic (Center) Authority is trying to do.” dduci did say the Civic Cenbuilding is a valuable aseveryone in River Forest should want to preserve. elieve that’s a beautiful ommunity asset, the Community Center ould lo noth-

or three years and perhaps $15 million by 2035 to remain open and functional. Becvar said that the Civic Center Authority does not have the money, it has only about $150,000 in reserves, to pay for the repairs and upgrades that the building needs.

It would require a majority vote from both the Board of Managers of the Civic Center Authority and the River Forest Village Board for the annexation by the village to take place.

“In the event that something does happen the village would take over the management of the building,” Becvar said.

No such vote has occurred but the Board of Managers of the Civic Center, which by law consists of members of the River Forest Township Board, has scheduled a special meeting for Aug. 4. Becvar declined to comment when asked by a reporter after the July 14 meeting whether there would be a vote at the Aug. 4 special meeting to authorize the village to take over the building.

Adduci said it is g ferent units of local go are working together to preser the building.

Last month Becvar Strom, a fellow member of the Civic Center Board of in closed session with the River Forest village board to discuss the “purchase or lease of real property.”

Becvar says the Civic Center building, which was built in the 1950’s and acquired by a public partnership that resulted in the creation of the Civic Center Authority in 1984 to purchase the building, needs approximately $5 million in building repairs, including a new roof, in the next two

“With no current ability to levy taxes or issue a bond, there is not enough to pay for the estimated $5 million in needed ,” the draft for discussion the authority does the funds to make the needed capital repairs, the buildeemed unusable for ing HVAC and safety equipment. As such we are in discussions about consolidating the authority with a taxing per Illinois statute.”

Because the Village of River ontributed $100,000 toof the Civic Center building state law allows the Civic Center Authority to “consolidate the authority into a municipality.”

“The village was one of the original funders of the authority in the 1980s and has always been concerned about the future of the building,” Becvar said.

The Park District of River Forest did not contribute any money toward the purchase of the building so the Park District of Riv-

er Forest could only take ownership of the building through a referendum.

Becvar and the agenda addendum said that if the village does take over the Civic Center building the current tenants of the building, which include the River Forest Community Center, would not be affected. The current leases of all tenants would all be honored but the Civic Center Authority would cease to exist. The River Forest Community Center is based in the Civic Center and is, by far, the building’s largest tenant. The Community Center operates a popular childcare program in the building and until last year managed the building even though it did not own it. Last year the Civic Center Authority wrested control of the leasing and management of the building from the Community Center and now the Park District of River Forest is in charge of maintenance at the building.

Becvar said there are no current plans to inject major amounts of money into building re pairs.

“The act of consolidation will not require taxpayer dollars other the administrative and legal costs,” the agenda addendum states. “The expected building renovations in the coming years will need a revenue source, and may include village funds, grants, private donations or contributions from other taxing bodies.”

CATHY ADDUCI

New assessor for River Forest

By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter

The new River Forest Township Assessor doesn’t live in River Forest. But she is familiar with it having served as Deputy Township Assessor since 2018.

On July 14 the River Forest Township Board voted unanimously to appoint Kathy Elliott to replace for mer township assessor Pam Kende who retired on June 29 after serving as township assessor for the past 21 years.

Because she does not reside in River Forest Elliott will officially work as an independent contractor and be paid $36 an hour while working no more than 1,000 hours annually. Elliott’s contract runs through 2029. The township assessor is an elected office so ifa River Forest resident runs for township assessor in the 2029 election the person elected would re place Elliott. But Elliott, who lives in Berwyn, is considering moving to River Forest. Her daughter is a rising eighth grader who attends Alcuin Montessori School in Oak Park

that the assessor’s office, which is located at the River Forest Civic Center, is open. Currently the office is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

“The major change is that we will be open more,” Elliott said. “We have every intention ofhaving hours Monday through Thursday, but we will work with the new supervisor whoever that will be.”

Elliott said she plans to encourage people who have issues with their property taxes or questions to make appointments to visit the office. She plans to reach out to new homeowners to educate them about the complicated Cook County property tax system.

“Our goal was always to move from Berwyn to River Forest for high school,” Elliott said in a telephone interview last week. But now that her daughter has her heart set on going to Trinity, not OPRF, for high school that may change although Elliott, 55, says that she still would like to move to River Forest and may do so by 2029.

“It’s such a great community to age in place,” Elliott said.

Township assessors in Cook County don’t actually assess property, that is done by the Cook County Assessor’s office, but mostly serves as taxpayer advocates and educators.

“We are here to help people file for exemptions, to help them come up with the best possible appeals, help them know what their chances are for a successful appeal,” Elliott said.

Elliott has hired Miranda Redfield to be the new Deputy Assessor. Redfield will also work as an independent contractor and be paid $26 an hour and work no more than 520 hours annually.

“Her daughter and my daughter have known each other since they were one,” Elliott said.

Elliott said she hopes to expand the hours

“I want to have outreaches and workshops for new homeowners,” Elliott said.

She is also thinking about using social media to reach out to property owners to let them know about the services the township assessor can provide.

“We are really working to moder nize the office,” Elliott said.

Elliott said she learned a lot from Kende, especially about River Forest and the nuances ofthe homes in River Forest.

Elliott has worked a lot ofdifferent jobs in her life. When she was young she worked as a draftsman, mostly working in engineering offices. Then she worked as a trainer and manager for Starbucks specializing in opening new stores. She also worked as an executive assistant for Hewitt Associates, a large HR consulting firm. Elliott became River Forest Township Deputy Assessor in 2018. She applied for the very part-time job, six to 10 hours a week, because she knew the for mer deputy assessor Myra Cummings-Hill who told her that she was leaving the position.

Elliott has been a licensed massage therapist since 2004. At one time she gave massages at the Fitness For mula Club on Lake Street in Oak Park She still does some contract massage work and is open to private clients.

“I think I am the only certified Illinois assessing officer and licensed massage therapist,” Elliott said.

She sees some similarities between massage and the work of the township assessor.

“It’s the same mindset, to be able calmly walk through pain, be it metaphorical or physical, and try to seek solutions together,” Elliott said.

WEST SUB’S FUTURE

West Sub landlord ordered to pay $6.5 million

Cour t forces Patlola to make good on loan guarantee

By BILL DWYER Contributing Reporter

A Cook County circuit court judge has ordered current West Suburban Medical Center landlord Rathnaker Reddy Patlola to pay former hospital owner Pipeline Health Systems Holdings $6.5 million for breaching personal guarantees he made regarding a $67 million promissory note

Judge Jack J. Hagerty granted Pipeline’s motion for summary judgement on June 15, ordering Patlola pay $5 million and attorney’s fees, and $1,492,333 for non-payment of a Transitional Services Agreement between Pipeline and West Suburban CEO Manoj Prasad’s AUM Global Healthcare Management.

Pipeline filed a one count breach of guaranty complaint in December 2024 after the maturity date of the $67 million promissory passed without payment.

Part of that $67 million agreement was a Transitional Services Agreement (TSA) related to Pipeline working with Prasad to provide IT services that included a billing system used to bill for medical services provided patients.

In October 2023, Patlola personally guaranteed “all amounts due under the TSA,” and amounts due under the promissory note up to $5 million.

When the December 30, 2024 maturity date for the promissory note passed, and no payments had been made, Pipeline filed suit.

Patlola had argued in his defense that Pipeline had breached their agreement by not providing promised services under the agreement.

Pipeline’s “failure to perform its obligations under the TSA including an unreasonable delay in data migration from Pipeline’s IT system to AUM Global has contributed to overall inefficiency of hospital operations, which is likely to affect ongoing refinancing efforts,” Patlola’s defense argued in response to Pipeline’s allegations

Hagerty disagreed, finding that Patlola had breached his personal guarantee for $5 million of the $67 million note, and the AUM had not paid what was due on the TSA

The judge rejected Patlola’s allegation that

Pipeline had breached its responsibilities under the TSA by not providing the new hospital management under Prasad with the same level of services it had provided previous ownership.

The judge noted that Prasad himself undercut that argument when he testified in the Pipeline lawsuit.

“Dr. Prasad’s testimony catalogues a series of complaints about the hospital’s IT systems,” the judge ruled. “EMR implementation problems, billing disruptions, medication prescription issues, and the like, but when specifically asked under oath whether Pipeline caused those problems, Dr. Prasad could only vaguely speculate about ‘integrated testing’ while admitting he does not know ‘one way or another’ whether any testing ‘was wrongly done.’”

In granting summary judgment on the TSA issue, the judge concluded that “a party cannot defeat summary judgment with lengthy complaints unaccompanied by causation evidence.”

The Pipeline lawsuit had been the focus of questioning by an attorney during a May hearing in Patlola’s separate lawsuit, against Prasad and Resilience Healthhcare, in which he sought to have a receiver appointed for West Suburban Hospital.

Patlola testified as to his understanding of the Pipeline lawsuit against him, saying “The lawsuit is for two reasons.”

“They claimed that we didn’t pay the TSA, transition services agreement,” Patlola said. “We are to pay monthly $600,000. I’m not sure. They claimed that we didn’t pay. That’s No. 1.”

“And, No. 2, the loan went in default because we couldn’t get the lenders because hospital was losing money. So they — I gave a personal guarantee of $5 million for closing a loan after 2024 and also paying for TSA services.”

“You disagree that you owe the $5 million guarantee to Pipeline, right?” Patlola was asked

“I disagree, yes,” Patlola replied, alleging that Pipeline failed to perform its obligations under the TSA, and that that failure significantly hindered AUM’s ability to generate income

At that same May hearing Prasad was asked why he agreed to allow Resilience to be a borrower on the promissory note Ramco signed with Pipeline. Prasad testified that without Resilience’s participation, they would not have been able to acquire the hospitals

Oak Park board weighs zoning change vs. referendum

Back-to-back issues considered July 21 and 28

By SYDNEY LOVAN Reporting Intern

Multiple community members spoke at Oak Park’s village board meeting on July 14 to call for a referendum on proposed updates to the zoning code which could eliminate single-family zones

Trustee James Taglia, seconded by Trustee Cory Wesley, will offer a motion to consider an advisory referendum at the July 21 board meeting. The board will vote to approve or deny the zoning change recommendation from Opticos Design, a consulting firm, on July 28. Wesley, who supports the zoning change, seconded Taglia’s motion to assure a board discussion of the idea.

Opticos Design was hired as a consultant to the village to recommend how to change the zoning code to help increase “missing middle” housing and address af fordability and density issues. The buildings which might be favored if the zoning was changed would have multiple units such as small apar tment buildings and duplexes. The recommendation comes after the firm completed a study with the Metropolitan May-

ors Caucus to find how “zoning standards can shape real development opportunities” according to the website.

Village Attorney Greg Smith clarified at the meeting that a binding referendum, in which the vote would have a le g al ef fect on the village, is not possible for this issue per the Illinois Constitution. An advisory referendum, which has no le g al effect but gives insight into public opinion, is allowed.

Taglia said at the meeting that he welcomes the advisory referendum route

“I think it represents a lower bar for this board to accept in order to allow public input, and it represents a gauge that we can use, that we can assess whether the public is more or less, first of all, educated about this, second of all, infor med that they’re all willing to approve such a measure,” Taglia said.

Village President Vicki Scaman said it would take “considerable thought” to write a referendum question that would encompass the nuance in the conversation and not further confuse the public on this issue and the goals of the board. After the public comment portion of the meeting, she said

she feels there is some miscommunication about the proposal and the board is “far more aligned” with those that oppose it than many think.

“It’s too broadly being thought of as a broad stroke of getting rid of single-family zoning across our entire community without any consideration for what our goals are,” said Scaman. “I think that I think that this board is putting more thought into it than that would insinuate.”

Most speakers during the public comment shared similar messages calling for more input from the community and for more communication about the impacts of

these plans and questioning if changing zoning would produce the desired results.

“This is not simply a policy decision. It is a decision about the physical framework of nearly every residential neighborhood in Oak Park,” said Kimberlee Smith, owner of Smith Architecture, during the meeting. “On questions of such permanence, I believe the strongest foundation is public trust. ”

Some speakers completely opposed eliminating single-family zoning.

SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING

Maybe in My Back Yard? New group backs zoning referendum

MIMBY wants better processes for Oak Park development

By ELIZABETH SHORT Contributing Reporter

White postcards arrived in mailboxes across Oak Park last week, asking “SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED?” about ending single-family zoning. Members of the recently organized group Maybe in My Back Yard (MIMBY) Oak Park sent these cards, posing questions about potential impacts of sweeping changes to local zoning, which Oak Park’s village board is set to vote on at its July 28 meeting

MIMBY Oak Park is a self-described ad hoc working group made up of “leading members of community groups,” including two for mer Historic Preservation Commission chairs, Lou Garapolo and Frank Heitzman.

Other members of the group include Josh Klayman, Bruce Lehman, Kevin Kell and Caralyn Sheehan.

called it a “monumental mistake” that shouldn’t be considered and would negatively impact the quality of life for current homeowners.

“Village hall’s duty is to act in the interest of the current residents. It’s not to make Oak Park less desirable so that others can afford to move in,” said Eriksson.

On the opposite side, resident John Jenks encouraged the board to vote to approve the recommendation to “get the ball rolling on zoning refor m” as his biggest concer n is affordability.

“We voted for you to make decisions, so go ahead,” Jenks said at the meeting

Craig Failor, Oak Park’s development services director, presented an update on community engagement efforts in partnership with Opticos Design for the project plans. He said they are looking at six future events and developing a compari-

“We are not against new buildings in Oak Park. We seek win-win outcomes that meet the goals of everyone involved – residents, village gover nment officials, and developers. We want the size and style of new buildings to fit in with their surroundings. We want more affordable housing. We want decisions about new buildings to include meaningful input from Oak Park’s citizens,” the group’s website reads.

Last August, the village board hired Opticos Design to study eliminating single-family zoning in Oak Park to create more “missing middle” housing. In March of this year, the village hosted workshops to educate the public on the consultant’s plans and gather community feedback.

On July 28, the board will vote on whether to accept the company’s recommendations. If the board votes to accept, the report will guide new zoning rules to be created later this year. The village released the recommendations, which would most notably eliminate zoning that restricts developments to singlefamily buildings, to the public last week on

son tool for property owners to see how the zoning change could affect them.

There is currently information about the project on the Engage Oak Park website and the Missing Middle Housing Toolkit is available on the Opticos website.

Scaman pushed for the actual recommendation proposal to be released to the public ahead of the July 28 meeting earlier than it typically would be so residents can access the information.

“I’m reading every single email that I get” said Scaman. “We’d love for them to get more information out there that speaks to affordability, that speaks to a diverse community, that speaks to addressing where housing gaps are. There’s lot more communication that needs to be shared.”

If the board votes to approve the recommendation, it would still have to go before the Plan Commission and any actual changes would not actually be implemented until at least October.

But before that village board vote, at a July 21 meeting the board will consider a motion to place an advisory referendum on the zoning issue on the ballot this November Trustee Jim Taglia has pushed this idea. And Trustee Cory Wesley, who clearly supports the zoning change, has seconded the motion to allow a discussion at the board table.

MIMBY member Josh Klayman, who taught at the Booth School of Business at University of Chicago and ran for trustee in 2019 said the implementation of these changes, and the process of deciding development in Oak Park, should be “more democratic, [and] more transparent.”

“We’ve been talking about this before the single-family zoning issue really came to fore, but when it did, we spotted this as one of those examples,” said Klayman. “An important example of one of those situations where decisions were not being made in a way that we thought was sufficiently representative.”

Lehman, a lifelong Oak Parker who worked for the U.S. Treasury, and Klayman said they would like to see the village taking a more “energetic outreach” to residents, potentially connecting directly with community groups and congregations. They also said they would like to see the village ask for community input much earlier in the process, arguing that by the time community meetings are held, “it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion.”

Lehman was also eager to explain that he paid almost all of the $11,500 cost of printing and mailing the recent postcard to Oak Park homes. The money behind the postcard had

been a source of discussion on local social media.

They said these have been issues concerning new developments for years, as well as an issue with the zoning changes. MIMBY’s postcard poses “questions, not concerns” to the community, which they hope residents and trustees will consider before making a decision on the recommendations.

Lehman and Klayman said they have spoken with Village President Vicki Scaman and a representative from Opticos Design about their concerns. Scaman, who has so far been hesitant to support a referendum, pushed for the village to release Optico’s report to the public last week.

At the bottom of the postcard, MIMBY asks residents to tell the village board if they would like to have a referendum about zoning. While Lehman and Klayman support the referendum, they said there is a much larger issue with developments in Oak Park. Klayman said he supports developments that are “compatible” with surrounding buildings and that “have some attention to the aesthetic value.” On MIMBY’s website, the group lists the Grove Apartments on Madison Street as an example of a successful project.

However, Klayman said the overarching mission of MIMBY is to create a more democratic process — not to advocate for a specific kind of development. “If there was a good process, and it generated a building that we, us seven or people or whatever, didn’t like, then I’d say, well, you know, as the old saying goes, well, the people have spoken. I’ll say, I wouldn’t have built that thing, but it was a fair process.”

Bereaved dads nd community in pickup soccer games

Since May, the

Charli Mae

foundation has run monthly matches

By LILLIAN ALI Re porting Intern

What may have looked li ke just another pickup soccer match in North Riverside’s Veteran’s Park F riday night was actually a source of community for bere aved fathers in the area.

Since May 15, the Charli Mae Foundation, a local organization supporting f amilies affected by the loss of a child, has been hosting monthly pickup soccer g ames for bere aved fathers and their friends. While it started as a group of six men back in May, its match on F riday, July 17, saw 25 players.

“This is just an opportunity for dads to g et to g ether and be a part of something bigger, and be able to honor their child where possible,” said Dean Ar rowsmith, who org anized the match.

Ar rowsmith and his wife founded the

Charli Mae foundation in honor of his late daughter, Charli Mae. T he foundatio n helps f amilies navig ate child and pregnancy loss through events and support progr ams

“It’s important for us that we just create this space for any dad who just wants to g et out and remember their child,” Arrowsmith said.

One player, David Vicencio, has played soccer all his life. F riday night was his first match with the group.

“A big thing that’s not talked about is men’s mental health,” he said. “Getting out with the boys, having some exercise, is good for our minds and bodie s.”

Vicencio and his wife, Melissa, first became aware of the matches through the SHARE group at Edward Hospital, which supports f amilies who have experienced infant or pregnancy loss.

Vincencio noted the sense of community the match brought for bere aved fathers.

“It’s important that we try to find some people that share the experiences, so that we don’ t feel alone,” he said.

Events like F riday night’s match can create an environment of support without pressure for f amilies. Melissa Viencio, who watched the match along with their children, said appreciated “the lightheartedness of event.”

“Groups like this an be intimidating because it kind of brings you back to [loss],” she said.

“Something like this is nice because ’re sur rounded by eople who have kind experienced the same thing, but the event is not focused on that.”

pickup g ames, Ar rowsmith and his wife org anize annual charity soccer g ames in Charli Mae’s honor. Last year, the Charli Mae Shield was held in Ar rowsmith’s hometown of Dundalk, Ireland. It raised thousands of dollars for Féileacáin, an Irish nonprofit providing support for bereaved parents. This year, the Féileacáin fathers will visit Chicago for the 2026 match on Oct. 11.

As summer moves on, Ar rowsmith’s group will continue welcoming fathers into their community. No soccer experience is required to join. Brian Beach went to his first g ame with the group F riday

night, noting how he had not played soccer since he was eight years old

“I’ve been here all of about 20 minutes,” he said. “Very different playing it than watching it on TV.”

As the match ended, players gathered for a group photo before huddling up. Arrowsmith says they follow each pickup g ame with a social event, in what he calls “typical Irish f ashion.” While the group is still new and finding its footing, Ar rowsmith is hoping to grow the community further

“The object ive is we’ ll have more events as we grow,” he said.

Still no West Sub deal as Prasad gets new delay

CEO hires new personal lawyer

By BILL DWYER Contributing Reporter

There was yet another twist in the rancorous back and for th lawsuits between West Sub Hospital landlord Rathnaker Reddy Patlola and hospital CEO Manoj Prasad’s Resilience Healthcare on

“I thought we were having a settlement conference,” Judge Patrick Stanton said as he looked out at the four attorneys standing before his bench, including Travis Richardson.

Unbeknownst to anyone else but himself, attorney Richardson had filed an appearance with the court clerk as Prasad personal attorney and notice of a motion to intervene in the case.

Ramco attorney Scott Kaplan, who’d been informed in the hallway outside the courtroom by a re porter of Richardson appearance and his motion to intervene

in the case, infor med Stanton that there’d been a motion filed “with no proper notice.”

“Did you give the court a courtesy copy,” Stanton queried Richardson,

without looking at it.”

After several more minutes of back and for th over when Richardson could have his for mal motion filed with the court, Stanton appeared a bit perplexed.

the judge to accept his appearance as Prasad’s new le g al counsel. He said he would “subsequently file an amended/supplemental Petition to Intervene as an interested par ty in the above-captioned case.”

Richardson said, “The pace of the current litigation dictated the timing of this request,” and that he needed “the time and opportunity to conduct a more thorough investigation and review of the case file.”

Richardson assured the judge that the motion was “not brought for the purpose of contumacious (defiant or disobedient) delay and that to not grant his request “would defeat the aims and goals of justice.”

“Non-party Dr. Prasasd is granted until Aug. 8 to file his motion to intervene with proposed standing,” Stanton ruled T he judge also set the same deadline for current lawsuit non-party S & T Consulting to intervene in the case. An attorney for that entity has appeared in court for the past two hearings, but has filed no apearance and was not allowed into chambers during settlement talks

LESSONS FROM THE MIDDLE CHILD

Dale Carnegie, the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People wrote, “By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected.” This statement is one that many “middle children” have learned to embrace. Middle children, sandwiched between other siblings, learn to develop patience, listening skills and the art of negotiation. My son John, a middle child, is no exception.

John, like many middle children, largely avoids drama and conflict. He is the consummate peacemaker. John is the first in the family to recognize the opposing position, suggest an alternative, find a compromise. Essentially, to yield.

As a child, John did what was asked of him and when it was asked. Whether the request was cleaning a bedroom, setting the dinner table, or taking out the garbage. John just hopped to it. He

did not try to delegate the chore to a younger sibling as his older brother did or resist the chore altogether like his younger brother. John just got the job done without argument or complaint.

My husband Mike and I always appreciated John’s agreeable nature, although at times it was surprising. I typically expected John to demonstrate the resistance I experienced with his brothers. But it rarely happened. Ironically, at times, I worried that John’s agreeable nature might prove to be too agreeable. The world can be a cruel place. I thought John needed to be bolder and more unyielding to make his way in the world. Boy, I could not have been more wrong.

John’s peacemaking nature has benefitted his friends, his schoolwork, his employers, and our family. John is easy to be around, which makes him popular with many different groups of friends. John exhibits the same attitude at school as he did with childhood chores. He gets the job done. Hence, there is no homework or test

procrastination, which has resulted in good grades and college success for him.

At his college summer job, John’s ability to resolve problems with tact and diplomacy has brought him a promotion and a raise. And in our family, John has helped to resolve many a family disagreement. We have often come to rely on John’s peace-keeping nature for family harmony.

We can all learn a great deal from middle children and their ability for compromise and diplomacy. It is not surprising that the words Dale Carnegie wrote in the year 1936 still resonate today. “Instead of condemning people, let’s try to understand them. Let’s try to figure out why they do what they do. That’s more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness.”

John’s peacekeeping skills can be applied to estate planning. I expect that John’s reputation for fairness, tolerance and compromise will help to provide a smooth settling of Mike’s and my estate. Still, it would not be fair to expect John to carry

the full burden of a smooth estate settlement. Emotions can run high during this time.

We all would like to think our family will act diplomatically and be fair and kind to each other when settling our estates after we are gone. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Even the best family peacemaker is no match for a disgruntled beneficiary. I have seen several cases where children use their parents’ estates to revive past perceived sibling wrongs from childhood. This behavior can cause fractured family relationships and waste inheritances on court costs and attorney’s fees.

Luckily, for Mike and me - we do not have to solely rely on John’s peacemaker skills for the smooth settling of our estate. Drafting our estate plan allowed us to create documents designed to avoid family conflict and keep our estate out of the probate court system. Now, once the kids are grown, John can direct his peacemaking skills toward more important issues...like maintaining a harmonious family vacation.

Thanks John Clancy!

Documentary explores the path from fatherlessness to healing

‘Shoutin’ Hallelujah’ will be screened in Oak Park on Aug. 8

By HECTOR CERVANTES  Contributing Reporter

Oak Park’s Resur rected Life Church International will be the site on Aug. 8 of a screening and discussion of “Shoutin’ Hallelujah: A Journey of Healing,” a documentary that explores fatherlessness, healing and reconciliation through personal stories and expert perspectives.

The public is invited to attend. The ticketed event will take place from 1:30-4 p.m. at the church, located 171 N. Cuyler Ave. The event will include community discussion

Produced by Mattimex Productions, LLC, the documentary serves as a companion to the upcoming narrative feature film, “Shoutin’ Hallelujah!”

The documentary by founder and CEO of Mattimex Productions Pauline Williams, explores the impact of fatherlessness and the possibility of healing and reconciliation.

“We want to welcome anyone whose life has been touched by this issue, whether directly or indirectly,” she said. “That includes fathers, mothers, grandparents, adult children, educators, counselors, faith leaders, mentors and anyone who cares about strengthening families and communities. Even if someone hasn’t experienced a father’s absence personally, they likely know someone who has. I want people to understand that there is hope and that healing is possible.”

She added: “I started researching the issue and learned that more than 18 million children in the United States are growing up in homes without their fathers. As people learned about the project, certain individuals, including members of my own family, approached me and shared deeply personal stories.

That’s when I realized it was more than just a film to be made, it was a conversation that needed to be had within our communities.”

As a for mer resident of Chicago’s Austin neighborhood and a for mer Chicago Public Schools teacher, Williams said the screening holds personal significance because she has witnessed the effects of father absence and generational challenges within communities and as a student.

According to Williams, the concept for the documentary grew from people who approached her wanting to share their personal experiences. She said allowing participants to speak from the heart helped reveal the human impact of fatherlessness.

During the process of creating the documentary, Williams discovered that the stories of fathers seeking reconciliation revealed a

Pauline Williams

much larger issue than she initially imagined. The personal accounts of pain, regret, hope and love inspired her to create a film that gives a voice to those experiences and encourages healing Williams chose Oak Park for the community screening because it is home to her church and her pastor, Dr. Ray Allen Berryhill, has supported and partnered with her throughout the project.

“It began as a feature film, but that is something different. It is a narrative story. What grew out of it was the documentary. He partnered with me on the entire project because I felt it was something that would be helpful to the community, not only our congregation but the community as a whole, because of the number of children who live without their fathers. He graciously allowed us to hold this screening at the church,” Williams said.

The documentary’s message of healing was influenced by the expertise of licensed therapist Dr. Lynetta Davis, who leads the counseling ministry at Resurrected Life Church International. Through her mentorship and counseling experience, Davis helped bring a deeper understanding of the emotional impact of fatherlessness

Davis is also the founder, CEO and

board chair of The Empower ment Place, one of the organization’s key community partners.

“She offered to come in as an expert to speak on the issue. She provided very practical advice to fathers who are looking to reconnect with their children. She also offered guidance for mothers with young children whose fathers are trying to reconnect with them. I thought her advice was so practical that anyone could follow it and it could truly benefit people who hear what she has to say,” Williams said.

Although the screenplay for the narrative feature film has already been written, Williams said the documentary helped her understand that stories continue to evolve throughout the filmmaking process. Hearing firsthand accounts of pain, redemption and resilience inspired her as a writer and helped ensure the screenplay reflects reallife experiences people can relate to “I hope [the audience] will reach out to the different organizations we provide that offer support for people who are going through similar situations. I hope they continue to understand that healing is possible and that while this affects millions of people, it does not have to define a person’s future. I think honest conversations, compassion and community support can make a difference,” Williams said.

Proceeds from the screening will help support completion of the feature film. Tickets are available for $25 and are available here.

OPRF

Tutoring hires

from page 1

Finance Committee concluded that OPRF underspent on tutoring and academic support

“We hear the comments; we’ve heard comments at previous meetings, we’ve had conversations with several not present here, both internally and externally” said OPRF Supt. Greg Johnson in introducing the recommendation for discussion. The vote took place at a special meeting of the school board that was called to approve the late recommendation to add the two interventionist teaching positions. “We hear the urgency to bring items forward that address the concerns related to equity, achievement gaps, in a variety of different ways,” said Johnson.

The recommendation was presented to the school board by Assistant Superintendent for Student Learning Jen Hester, Director of Student Learning Jennifer Brinkman and Executive Director of Special Education Andrea Neuman.

“Our students of color are not experiencing success at the same rate as their peers and that is why we are actively working, and we have strategies, to improve how classroom instruction meets individual needs,” Hester told the school board.

Hester said there is lots of room for improvement.

“We can be better; we can be a lot better,” Hester said.

The new reading interventionist will be assigned to World History A classes, which is part of the Honors for All freshman curriculum, and will mostly work with students needing help in small groups.

The math interventionist will be assigned to the Math Enrichment Center and work with students who come for additional help.

Hester told the school board that one of challenges in designing academic support is that special classes or extended instruction in certain subjects, which already exist for freshman who enter high school with quite low reading and math scores is that the limited number of class periods in the school day and that academic support doesn’t get in the way of taking classes needed to graduate.

“It’s very critical that our systems of support allow our students to meet their graduation requirements and they don’t keep them from getting into graduation requirement courses,” Hes-

OPRF Assistant Superintendent for Student Learning Jen Hester (middle)presented the administration’s proposal to hire two interventionists at the July 16 OPRF school board meeting.

ter said. “And it’s also critical that our students who need interventions have access and choice to planning their fouryear pathway.”

Johnson said administrators will spend the next year brainstorming how to provide more academic support in the future while dealing with the constraints of class schedules

“This is a step,” Johnson said. “We don’t suggest, imply or state in any way that this is the entire thing.”

Board members Josh Gertz and Jonathan Livingston suggested exploring remote tutoring so that students can get help outside the regular school day with Livingston also saying that he would like to see weekend tutoring.

Board member Fred Arkin asked about making tutoring mandatory for those who need it.

Board member Tim Brandhorst, referencing a page in Hester’s slide presentation that outlined key strategies over a three to five year time period, said that a threeyear timeline to implement more substantial academic supports is “unacceptable.”

Hester will soon be meeting with Michele Mangan and Bob Spatz, the two members of the OPRF Community Finance Committee who wrote a report comparing OPRF’s staff spending to what the state’s evidence based funding model suggests and concluded that OPRF underinvests in academic support and tutoring, in an attempt to figure how OPRF might do more academic support and tutoring.

Four equity advocates spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting urging the school to do more to support struggling students and Black students in particular

In his public comment John Duf fy, a founding member of Committee on Equity and Excellence in Education and a retired high school history teacher, said that he was both hopeful and disappointed with the proposal to add two interventionists.

“First steps are always significant, but the administration’s proposal falls woefully short responding to needs identified since the first semester of the freshman restructured honors program four years ago,” Duffy said. “It is an anemic response to the

immediate recommendations of the Community Finance Committee to provide a minimum of five and a half dedicated tutors and to overall increase supports for student lear ning.”

In a telephone interview after the meeting, Duffy said the report presented by Hester was informative and instructive but repeated that the current proposal is inadequate to meet the needs that are present.

“It is a step, but the need is much greater than that,” Duffy said.

School board president Audrey WilliamsLee said the achievement gaps start long before kids enter high school and more attention must be given to younger children.

“What is being done in the lower grades,” Williams-Lee asked, saying that there must be harder looks at what goes in the elementary and middle schools that feed into OPRF to understand why some kids are of f track by the time they enter OPRF.

Hester said that OPRF already has some partnerships with River Forest District 90 and is looking forward to creating more partnerships with Oak Park Elementary School District 97.

Oak Park residents protest ICE killings in Texas, Maine

‘We have to stand up for others,’ protesters say

By LILLIAN ALI

Reporting Intern

Residents of Oak Park gathered on the Home Avenue pedestrian bridge Wednesday morning in response to two fatal shootings this past week by ICE agents in Maine and Texas. They held their signs through nearly 90-de gree heat, drawing wave s and honks from drive rs on I nterstate 290, b elow the bridg e.

On the morning of Mond ay, Ju ly 15, I CE agents shot and killed 26-year- old Joan Sebastian Guer roro during an operation in B iddeford, Maine. L ess than a week earlier, an I CE agent shot 52-yearold Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. “ I’m j ust hear tbroken by p eople g et-

ting murdered by I CE,” said protester Me g han Stromberg, holding a sign tha read “Hold ICE Accountabl e. ”

Protesters, including Stromberg, held or tied their signs and posters to the chain link fence on the bridge overlooking the Eisenhower Expressway.

“Those people are noticing, the people driving by are honking,” Stromberg said, motioning to the drivers below. “It matters that people are standing up and saying, ‘this isn’ t right.’”

Protesters be g an to gather just before 8 a.m. Wednesday morning. Plans for the gathering were posted to the Activate Oak Park Facebook page on Monday evening. This was the second protest at the Home Avenue bridge in the past week: five days

earlier, protesters met in response to the killing of Salgado Aruj o.

Scott Sakiyama is an Oak Park attorney who has been an active protestor against I CE in the village and beyond .

In f all 2025, I CE activity in Oak Pa rk resulted in a number of ar rests, c ulminating in the Oak Pa rk village b oard p assing an ordinance declaring the village an “ICE free zone.” Th at f all, federal agents ar rested S akiyama outside his child’s elementary school and charged him with impeding federal agents. By January, those charges had been dismissed .

A dditionally, S akiyama told We d nesday Journal that I CE took another Oak Pa rk resident into custody yesterday.

“I was filming it,” S akiyama said. “They chased after one of the obser ve rs.”

“It f eels present; it f eels li ke it c ould happen here, ” protester Magali Dietz said.

C laire Battle, another protester, sai d I CE agents took someone i nto c ustody during an operation at her neighbor’s house last fall.

“I f you went to the alley outside of my house, you’d see where my neighbor’s gate is still broken down from where I CE trampled through their ya rd,” Battle said.

But Battle says she would be protesting even if her c ommunity had not seen IC E

activit y.

“Even if it wasn’t af fecting us, we have to stand up for other s, ” Battle said. Peter Bender, who said he has c ome out for six protests since the killing of A lex Preiti Minnesota in January, said IC E activity is compounded by “everything else going on,” such as the ongoing war in Iran.

Mary Bird, another protester, said she has cared about immigration for a long time, having worked as the director of public service for a law school.

“We had immigrant students, we had students who worked in the field,” Bird said. Knowing DACA students, as well as having f amily members who came from immi grant back grounds, motivated her decision to protest ICE activity, Bird said.

Protester Sarah Slackert brought up the killing of Guer rero in Maine, who was re por tedly killed in front of his three-year-old daughter, according to the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition.

“I have a three-year-old right now, she sits in the car seat right behind me” said Slackert, whose daughter helped her create her sign

“If we don’ t stop it from happening in any community now, then it’s going to keep continuing, and it’s going to get worse and worse, and they’re going to come for you as well soon,” said Slackert

LILLIAN ALI Protesters took to the Home Avenue pedestrian br idge overlooking I-290 Monday morning.

LILLIAN ALI Area attorney Scott Sakiyama holds an upside-dow n American ag, which, according to the U.S. Flag Code, is a signal of “dire distress.”

RF sees slow progress in suit over Lake and Lathrop

Judge gives failed developer 30 days to respond

By ROBERT J. LIFKA Contributing Reporter

River Forest officials consider action taken at a July 9 Cook County Circuit Court hearing to be a “meaningful step forward” toward resolving the ongoing foreclosure dispute between Beverly Bank and Lake Lathrop Par tners.

At that hearing, Judge Anthony Kryiakopoulos determined that Alpha Construction, an entity owned by previous developer, Marty Paris of Lake Lathrop Partners, failed to comply with the court’s order issued in June to obtain appropriate leg al re presentation.

Re peated issues related to Alpha Construction’s re presentation have prevented forward momentum in the case and, as a result, Kryiakopoulos issued an Order of Default that gave the company 30 days to respond.

Beverly Bank is a Wintrust-affiliated bank that was financing the development and Lake Lathrop Par tners is the developer of the stalled project to construct a mixed-use building on the site.

The now failed four-story development was to contain 22 condominium units with 14,000 square feet of retail space. The project had been on the drawing board since before the village board approved Lake Lathrop’s proposal in 2016.

“I am grateful to Judge Kryiakopoulos for his ef for ts to hold the parties in this case accountable — to ultimately free this important commercial property from litigation so that it can be developed to ultimately serve River Forest,” Village President Cathy Adduci wrote in a statement. Adduci has been attending the proceedings with other village of ficials and village residents.

The next hearing for the foreclosure case is set for Sept. 15, at which time the court is expected to establish a schedule for discovery, which would be what village officials consider to be “another significant step” toward resolving the legal issues that continue to stall progress on the site.

In September 2023, village officials re pealed the building permit for Sedgwick Properties, an authorized agent

acting on behalf of Lake Lathrop Par tners, and issued a stop work order. They said those steps were taken because Sedgwick failed to meet the requirements and conditions of the village’s 18-month building permit, which was originally issued in February 2022.

The long-delayed project had been on life support since April 2023, when Beverly Bank filed suit against Sedgwick

Properties in Cook County Circuit Court, looking to claw back $4.2 million from the $20 million line of credit it issued in 2022. In the lawsuit, the lender has re por tedly cited several provisions in its loan ag reement with Sedgwick affiliates that were violated, including that the contract required the borrower to stay in compliance with local re gulations and to stick to a tighter construction timeline.

Building a new garage in River Forest just got simple r

By ROBERT J. LIFKA Contributing Reporter

River Forest officials amended the Historic Preservation code in an ef fort to streamline it while also creating two liquor license classifications at the July 20 village board meeting.

David Franek, chair of the historic commission, told officials that the review of the code was triggered by an increase in applications involving garage demolitions. Discussions among commissioners and village staf f members about making that portion of the code more efficient led to the decision to review the code in its entirety, Luke Masella, de puty clerk, said in a memo to Matt Walsh, village administrator

that new classifications were created in response to requests from local businesses.

She said Villa Nail Spa operators requested the ability to offer limited alcoholic beverages for consumption by customers receiving salon services, which include manicures and pedicures.

Village tweaks preser vation ordinance ELECTRICAL

Ken Dang, owner of the salon at 7341 Lake St., told Wednesday Journal that his goal is to help customers relax and noted he has no plans to charge for the drinks. He also said the practice is gaining in popularity. Spencer ag reed, noting that she has “encountered this type of license in other communities.”

Spencer said customers would be limited to one serving of alcohol, citing champagne or wine as examples.

He said the goal of the ef fort, which began in 2024 and continued through June, was to “identify opportunities to streamline the review process, simplify the ordinance and modernize its provisions.”

According to Franek, significant changes include requiring applicants to meet with the commission before submitting a building permit application and authorizing the architectural subcommittee to determine if proposed demolition of garages and other accessory structures warrant full commission review.

Other significant changes include reducing the number of meetings from two to one in most cases by allowing the architectural subcommittee to review applications for completeness and expanding the demolition delay period from six months to nine months for significant properties not classified as public recreational and institutional.

Officials supported another significant change, reducing the required mailing radius for the local landmark designation process from 500 feet to 200 feet, but carried the reduction further by eliminating the requirement that such mailings be by certified mail.

The new liquor license classifications allow salon operators and caterers to provide alcohol to their customers.

Jessica Spencer, assistant village administrator, explained in a memo to Walsh

Although the request came from a nail spa, Spencer said the classification would be available to all salons.

The other request came from Nita Patton, owner of Nita’s Bakery. She is working with the owner of Hub Kitchen in River Forest to lease commercial kitchen space for preparation of her custom baked goods.

Spencer said Patton proposes offering fully baked cupcakes accompanied by pipettes filled with liquor. Each pipette will contain two tablespoons of liquor intended to complement select products. Orders will be limited to six pipettes for 12 cupcakes and 12 pipettes for 24 cupcakes, she added.

She cited Kahlua, a rum and coffee liqueur, as an example.

Spencer said both proposed liquor license classifications were drafted to ensure that alcohol service remains secondary to the primary operations of each business. The ordinance includes restrictions governing alcohol service, employee training, insurance requirements, advertising and compliance with state and local re gulations, she said.

Once each applicant successfully completes the license application and passes the background check, village staf f members will review and approve the licenses for these two businesses. Future applicants will also be approved by the village board at future meetings.

MOMENT OF SILENCE

Shooting victim remembered from page 1

An Oak Park police officer shot and killed Wallace, a 38-year-old Chicago resident, during a traffic stop on May 31. Footage from the incident was released on June 30 and an investigation by the Illinois State Police Public Inte g rity Task Force continues.

Some members of Wallace’s family were present at the meeting as Stamps pleaded to the board for answers for them and said she spoke not only as the commissioner but also as a mother of two sons.

“Only truth can transform us, and it’s a hard truth. Truth transforms broken families by re placing uncertainty with answers,” said Stamps during the meeting. “Truth transfor ms communities by re placing suspicion with trust, truth transforms institutions by re placing secrecy with accountability, truth transforms hearts by re placing silence with courage, and truth transforms a nation by reminding us that every life is sacred.”

Additional community members spoke after Stamps to read a community sign-on letter that nearly 300 Oak Park residents signed before the meeting. Residents who

County Commissioner Tara

supported the letter stood during the reading.

The letter outlined seven demands made to the village board in response to Wallace’s death including a pause on planning and funding for a new police station until the statute of limitations for a civil lawsuit on this matter is passed. The letter also called for a review of the village manager, an independent and transparent investigation for a civilian-led commission to review alongside Illinois State Police investigators, and for the officer who shot Wallace to not return to duty until the investigation is complete.

After the reading of the letter concluded, most of those attending the meeting in the council chambers exited to hold a moment of silence and additional speeches outside where Stamps emphasized the importance of unity across backgrounds.

“In this moment, it’s not enough for you to be Black or white or gay or straight,” said Stamps. “Your ass gotta be right, and your ass gotta be right 100% of the right time.”

She thanked participants for their courage and encouraged people to continue standing on the side of what is “right even when everyone else is saying you are dead wrong,” and even claimed “if they take this job, they take it.”

Scaman was among other village trustees to join the crowd outside, later tell-

ing Wednesday Journal that she thought Stamps’ words were powerful.

“I hope people take her comments to heart,” said Scaman. “We still have so much work to do, so much that still need s to be addressed, and there are societal issues that are deeply ingrained into our society.”

She said the village is committed to a transparent process and is looking for the same level of transparency as the community called for.

“We’ re respecting the investigation to answer the questions, and we’ll seek to answer all of the questions that are out there to the best of our ability,” Scaman said.

Jerome Cerny house in River Forest

By LACEY SIKORA Real Estate Reporter

It all started with a television set. In 1989, Dollard Carey was living on the 1200 block of Woodbine in Oak Park when he purchased a large TV. That led to his then wife saying that the couple needed a larger house.

Luckily, Carey knew JoAnn Gagliardo of the Gagliardo Realty family, and she knew of a house that was going to be listed in River Forest. The house was in need of renovations, but Carey was taken with the exterior, which resembled a French farmhouse.

Built in 1939, the home had only had one set of owners before Carey purchased it. Architect Jerome Cerny designed the house for the Righeimer sisters. None of the three sisters ever married. Eva was employed as an of-

CERNY HOUSE

fice clerk, and Lucy and Dolly were Chicago public school teachers. It’s possible that an inheritance from their wealthy uncle enabled the three sisters to buy the home on their modest incomes

Lucy passed away in 1954, and Eva died in 1957. Dolly lived in the home until her death in 1989 at age 97.

Carey and his first wife tackled aging mechanical systems when they moved into the home.

After a divorce, Carey married Beth, and gradually and carefully they renovated the house to create a kitchen and bathrooms that suit the standards of a more modern era, while keeping much of the home’s original details

Curved bay windows, round windows and a curved staircase with a wrought-iron handrail are all original. A renovated primary suite bathroom with heated flooring, a guest suite over the garage and a tall basement that includes a family room add to the creature comforts of the house.

The couple worked with a designer to make the house functional for them on the interior; and on the exterior, the home wouldn’t be out of place in a field in France. “I think we have something that’s relatively unique,” Carey said.

The backyard is a tree-filled escape that

also offers the perfect place for a do g to playat least according to Carey’s dog, Cody Carey said he wasn’t very familiar with the work of Cerny prior to purchasing the home in River Forest, but that living in the house and discovering other homes on the block that were also designed by Cerny gave him a crash course in his distinct style.

Born in Chicago in 1901, Cerny studied at the School of the Art Institute, the Armour Institute and Yale University. As a young architect, he worked for architects Benjamin Marshall and David Adler, a noted Chicago architect who designed many country homes in the North Shore.

In the 1920s, Cerny studied at the Royal Academy in London, the American Academy of Arts in Rome and Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. During that period in Europe, he traveled to the Normandy region of France, where he was taken with the rambling farmhouses of the region. His sketches from this period infor med much of his later career

Like Adler, when Cerny founded his own firm in 1929, he located it in the North Shore, choosing Lake Forest as an ideal location. While his homes were not the extensive estates that Adler designed, Cerny had notable clients including an Illinois senator and members of the Marshal Field family

Cer ny’ s custom homes were inspired by European charm, and his wife, June, often collaborated on the interiors. While most of his designs are in the North Shore, Oak Park and River Forest are home to more than a few of his designs.

He continued to design homes into the

1960s and often had his work featured in magazines like Architectural Digest, House and Garden and Town and Country. When he died in 1970, he left his firm to a longtime employee, Bob Erdmann, who later partnered with Norman Werner.

Jon Whitney Welker joined Erdmann when Werner passed away. After many years based first in Glenview and then Barrington, the firm returned to Lake Forest in 2014, where Welker continues to run the firm with the focus on Cer ny’s designs.

In his research before listing his home, Carey reached out to Welker and found

that Welker is winding down his career in architecture. Carey thinks that there is a great opportunity for an architect interested in traditional designs to establish the fir m for another 100 years.

The Careys have decided it is time to downsize, and they’ve listed the house at 1339 Forest in River Forest with Louise Nix of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago for $1,689,000.

He hopes that the next owner of the home will appreciate the uniqueness of Cerny’s design and will be another long-term caretaker of the house

Policing needs reform more than oversight

As with so many of my neighbors, the body camera footage of the fatal shooting of Christian Wallace tur ned my stomach. As Village President Scaman stated, a transparent investigation is needed. Such an investigation, however, represents the bare minimum.

No investigation, however transparent, can erase the fact that a man is dead following an encounter with our police department. Nothing will bring Mr. Wallace back or restore a sense of nor malcy for his family and loved ones. Our community should not aspire to a sense of nor malcy either. Because what happened to Mr. Wallace is not nor mal.

The Illinois State Public Integrity Task Force will answer the question of whether the officer involved violated the law. But to consider the matter closed once the investigation is concluded would reflect a complacency that does not represent our community values

We need new systems of policing in Oak Park. And new systems can only emerge from a department-wide review of the issues and the policies, training, supervision, tactics, and organizational culture that shaped the circumstances surrounding this shooting.

The tragedy of Mr. Wallace’s death must also be a catalyst for genuine institutional reform To chart our course for this process, we should look to other local gover nments in the U.S. that have undertaken similar efforts.

Fifteen years ago, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confronted a series of officer-involved shootings. Rather than simply investigating each incident in isolation, the department invited the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a comprehensive review of its use-of-force practices.

This was in 2011, when the Department of Justice’s Collaborative Reform Initiative offered independent, non-adversarial assessments of police departments seeking to improve their practices. The Department’s comprehensive review took about a year to complete. Rather than focusing on the narrow question of whether individual shootings were justified, questions were asked that sought to identify system-wide issues that could lead to officer-involved shootings:

■ Were officers receiving the best possible training?

■ Were there certain tactics that increased the likelihood of deadly encounters?

■ Were supervisors tracking recurrences of certain patterns?

■ Were inter nal investigations resulting in actual policy changes in the department?

The Las Vegas review produced 75 findings and recommendations that completely changed how the department trained its officers, reviewed uses of force, managed critical incidents and measured perfor mance. The Las Vegas example shows us that a community can respond to tragedy with serious institutional self-examination, followed by real systemic change. Oak Park should adopt this approach.

It goes without saying that the current U.S. Department of Justice is unlikely to be the right partner for such an undertaking. No matter. At this point in history, we clearly should not look to Washington for guidance in matters of law enforcement.

Operational reality in policing

OYet the de its stated staffing benchmark in se eral y the optimisti narrati longer reflects operational reality

Leadershi has cited familiar challenges: a shrinking applicant pool, heightened competition from other agencies, and difficulty retaining recruits. In response, the village has increased salaries, expanded benefits, added sign-on incentives, and boosted its recruiting budget. Those measures may help at the margins, but they do not address the deeper structural issues

Today, the department’s roster includes a sizable number of officers who are not yet deployable, individuals still in the academy, in field training, or otherwise unable to operate independently. When those categories are removed, the number of fully functional officers falls far short of the staffing level the village continues to present publicly

A large share of patrol officers have only a short tenure on the job. This is occurring during a period of sustained tur nover, where new hires are offset — or even outpaced — by retirements and resignations. The result is a cycle in which inexperienced recruits are expected to stabilize a department that is losing seasoned officers faster than they can be replaced

peated restaging, extended ys nanced through probaSupervisors’ efforts to initiate corrective measures are frequently slowed by administrative bottlenecks or inconsistent oversight. Performance plans are sometimes approved late in the process, only after significant gaps in training documentation have accumulated. In some agencies, those plans address fundamental skills that should have been mastered in the earliest stages of training.

Oak Park is not immune to these pressures. The same national dynamics also affect local agencies. When officers who do not meet basic competencies are promoted, standards erode. A department cannot rebuild deployable staffing if its training pipeline cannot reliably produce prepared officers. This is a widespread challenge that directly fuels operational instability in law enforcement agencies nationwide.

Residents deserve officers who are trained, prepared, and capable. Recruits deserve a fair process based on merit and performance. The department needs leadership committed to strengthening operational readiness, not just checking boxes on a staffing chart.

Oak Park’s reputation for ethical policing and professional accountability was built over decades. A reputation built over decades is now under pressure from decisions that have not strengthened the department’s operational

Reporting has documented how patrol shortages have forced the department to rely heavily on overtime, mandatory callbacks, and the reassignment of specialized officers back into patrol. Officers have been working extended shifts. These conditions are not sustainable. Training deficiencies seen in many police departments mirror a broader national trend g

Paying a tion to your life Race and tra c stops

It’s the traffic stop -- the flimsy reasons, the race-based reasons behind the traffic stop – that bring me back so often to the death of Christian Wallace on May 31 at the Shell on Austin and Harrison.

Wallace was shot four times by an Oak Park police officer after a furious back-and-forth battle for control of a concealed and likely illegal handgun that Wallace had not disclosed to an officer before a pat down began at the side of his car.

An investigation continues by policing agencies outside of Oak Park. That probe may go on for months. And, in the end, it will make a determination of whether the Oak Park officer’s actions re le ally justified.

almost 60 days out from Wals death, the conversation is taking shape in Oak Park in ways ultimately more consequential than the final legal etermination.

there are questions about why the ficer fired his gun 9 times, the last four shots coming as Wallace was still mobile ving away from the officer with his back tur ned. That those shots came toward Austin Boulevard as the late Sunday ening car and pedestrian traffic was still considerable will need to be assessed ts will need to determine where s gun was located in those final seconds and video, wisely released weeks back by the village, seems to be inconclusive on that issue.

From our first reporting of this shooting, though, my question has been “why was the person pulled over?”

It is the elemental question. Oak Park officials were mum on that for too long. Not until the village finally released bodycam footage and two angles of security camera footage from the gas station, did police have to detail why the still unidentified officer chose to pull the man over

And the explanation was exactly what one feared. The traffic stop was initiated because Wallace failed to use his turn signal when changing lanes on Austin Boulevard and because he failed to use a tur n signal before he reached 100 feet from his tur n. Or, in clearer language, Wallace was pulled over because he was a Black man driving in Oak Park.

We have the data. Oak Park village trustees look at the data on traffic stops regularly. Despite all of the maybe sincere intentions, the data, quarter by quarter, does not change much. Black people are stopped at a substantially disproportionate percentage than white people

The Oak Park officer was following the policy on making traffic stops. Will the shooting ultimately be declared legally justified. We will see in time. But there is no question that under the village’s policing policy this fully bogus, ultimately deadly traffic stop was proper

That is why it is so important that the village board this week will take up that policy. Trustees Derek Eder and Chibuike Enyia have placed the topic on the agenda with a very specific timeline, logical list of staff and commission to be involved.

This is not complicated. This is long overdue. And Christian Wallace should still be alive

It worked for Mary Oliver.

If paying attention is a form of prayer, will your prayer be answered? So that, when your living is over, looking back, you will have an answer to Mary’s question:

“This is what I did with my one wild and precious life.”

Neighbors feeding neighbors

Through the Community Fridge Project, a grassroots program housed under the Community of Cong re gations, volunteers in our community are working to make sure that no one in our neighborhood goes hungry.

Cur rently in the Oak Park and Austin neighborhoods, we maintain six free, 24/7 community fridges and pantries. They’ re open to anyone — no cost, no ID, no questions. If you’ re hung ry, you can take what you need. If you have extra, you can leave something for a neighbor. It’s simple, human, and deeply effective.

These fridges are stocked and cared for entirely by volunteers and supported by donations of food and funds. With your help, we can buy fresh groceries at a discount, keep the fridges safe and clean, and ensure that families in our community have reliable access to food — day or night.

We are proud to partner with many local organizations to help with food drives for shelf-stable canned/boxed food for the Community Fridge pantries. Through July 31, the Oak Park Public Libraries (Main, Dole and Maze) are hosting food drives in each library lobby. When you

visit the library, please consider dropping of f items such as boxed pasta/pasta sauce, peanut butter, canned tuna/ chicken, beans/soup, canned ve getables, and other unexpired healthy food items.

Another way to support the Community Fridge Project this summer is by signing up to host a food drive during your local block party. Join the over 50 blocks that have already signed up to help us relieve hunger in our community.

Food insecurity affects more people than many realize, but together we can make a real impact. This project is about more than food — it’s about dignity, community, and showing up for one another. We are neighbors feeding neighbors.

For questions or to learn how to volunteer or donate food or funds, visit communityfridgeproject.org or email communityfridgeproject@gmail.com.

TA critic’s misguided narrative

ypically, I do not respond to unfounded accusations, as doing so only feeds the need for attention to those making such alle gations. However, given that Monica Sheehan is falsely accusing two District 200 employees of abusing taxpayer dollars in her July 15 opinion piece, it is important to counter this very misguided narrative In the spirit of transparency and to set the record straight, following is the response I sent to Ms. Sheehan in response to her email alleging a “boondoogle” by members of the D200 leadership team.

“The conference you reference, LearningSCAPES, is held by the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE), a nonprofit with a mission to improve the places where children lear n. The event is education-centered and brings together educators, architects, school administrators, and designers to explore how the physical environment impacts student success and well-being. As a for mer member of the Imagine Work Group, which focused on student lear ning and equity in the context of facility impact, a key insight was just how much the spaces where our students learn matter to their academic performance and emotional well-being.

“Attending a national conference annually is part of the contract for our administrators. As with any top-tier organization, the board supports ongoing learning and growth for our district leader s. Conferences must be related to their field, and with Mr. Arbogast’s responsibilities for facilities, and Dr. Johnson’s role leading the high school, this conference was linked to district work and an appropriate use of their time and budget dollars. The board was aware of their plans to both attend and present at the 2024 conference, along with Lynne Kamenitsa and Alyson Sternquist. It is common for

educators to co-present with key par tners at conferences Here’s a link to the post conference website [not provided here].

“Dr. Johnson and Mr. Arbogast made the decision to not submit receipts for meals as covered in Board Policy 5:60 Expenses as they felt the amounts were minor. I’ve reminded them to adhere to the expense policy, which includes submitting receipts for meals. FGMA did pay for a dinner that Greg, Tony, and several others attended. Service firms often host dinners for clients at conferences

“The district has strong financial controls and practices, and the board does not see a need for a forensic audit. A list of vouchers for bills and expense reimbursements is included in the Check Disbursements and Financial Resolutions Re port which is posted as part of the consent agenda for the Re gular Board of Education meetings. D200 has been issued a clean (unmodified) opinion from our Independent Auditors for at least the past 10 years, and since FY 2002-2003 we have been rated in the highest category for the financial profile score assigned by ISBE.

“Finally, the renewal of Dr. Johnson’s contract prior to the start of the final contract year is not at all unusual. In fact, it is a widespread practice for districts that wish to retain their superintendents. Doing so provides stability and keeps the superintendents focused on student outcomes and district priorities, rather than looking for a new job or wondering throughout that final contact year whether they will be retained.

“Note that the full board is bcc’d on this message to keep everyone infor med and avoid any inadvertent OMA issues.”

Binding referendum on zoning

To the Oak Park Village Board of Trustees: The question of eliminating single-family zoning in Oak Park is a serious one that would affect many citizens very personally. We remember from recent past experience that the board has not always listened to its constituents. Remember the leaf-bagging debacle? We do, and not fondly. That is why we

are urging you to send the question of eliminating single-family zoning to a binding referendum vote in the November mid-term election. We would then have a lively debate with questions and answers before the vote. And the voters would be heard.

River Forest blows golden opportunity

As the oversized 72-unit development for Madison and Ashland glides through its preordained approval process, River Forest’s village board has squandered a golden opportunity to actually serve the village’s seniors who made River Forest so great.

LAUBER

ciation with the underlying land sold at a discount to a community land trust. This combination would keep the dwellings af fordable in perpetuity. It’s a mechanism commonly used throughout the nation to build foreveraf fordable housing without continuing subsidies.

Our village leaders surely know that it’s important to 78% of current seniors to remain in River Forest (Age Friendly River Forest: Creating a Livable Community for All, 2023). And they should understand that some of the village’s seniors – who made this town so desirable – need housing affordable, accessible, and appropriate to their stage in life as they further age and can no longer remain in their houses.

Our village leaders should be well aware that some of these seniors won’t be able to continue to live here due to the lack of af fordable, accessible, age–appropriate housing.

With just two vacant sites in town, you’d think that our elected leaders would jump at the oppor tunity to devote the site the village owns to develop forever-af fordable housing for these seniors when handed to the village on a silver platter.

But not River Forest. Back in May 2024, a developer did approach the village with a very preliminary proposal to build 15 to 18 detached prairie-style homes as a senior community on the village-owned Madison and Ashland site – the site where village of ficials are now approving an oversized 5-story apar tment building with 72 “luxury” rentals, largely targeted to out-of-town, upper-income singles, for whom there is a plentiful supply of housing.

The initial price of each senior house would have been around $350,000, which even lesser-income River Forest seniors could af ford and still have funds left over for heightened senior needs. To keep them forever af fordable to the same income group as initially targeted, they would have been organized as a limited-equity cooperative or mutual housing asso-

That’s what a good government would do. Since this entire development process has been cloaked in unnecessary secrecy, we’ ll probably never know if it was President Adduci or most of the village board that summarily killed of f this proposal.

Instead, our village leadership squandered a golden opportunity to meet many adopted village aims including:

“Encourage new residential development that provides for the needs of the village’s population.”

“Protect residential areas from the encroachment of incompatible land uses and the adverse impacts of adjacent activities. [Comprehensive Plan, page 11]

The summarily rejected preliminary proposal would have ke pt the housing af fordable to current and future generations of River Forest seniors or, if not restricted to seniors, enabled to move here some of our teachers, librarians, village employees, nonprofit workers, middle management, as well as our children who can’t af ford the high price of River Forest houses. It would have ke pt the property in harmony with the adjacent single-family neighborhood.

Instead, the village board opted for a massive incompatible development that runs afoul of many adopted village goals and objectives, notably failing to address the housing needs of River Forest residents, especially its more vulnerable seniors.

That’s quite the opposite of responsible, responsive good government. River Forest’s seniors – and all its residents – deserve better.

Oak Parkers for Free Speech thankful for support

Thanks to everyone supporting the campaign to give Oak Park voters a voice on whether Illinois should repeal its anti-boycott law — our volunteers, donors and the residents who have signed our petitions

The momentum is growing. Our packed fundraiser [Stories, poetry and calls for boycott law repeal, News, July 8] and expanding volunteer team reflect a strong community commitment to placing this advisory referendum before Oak Park voters.

For the past two years, residents supporting repeal have met with state legislators, raised the issue at town halls, and joined advocates across Illinois by submitting more than 15,000 witness slips before an Illinois House hearing. (1) Since our elected representatives have not yet committed to repealing the law, we are tur ning to another democratic tool: a local referendum to communicate Oak Park residents’ views to our state legislators, along with those of at least seven other Illinois communities

It is no surprise that free speech advocates, including the ACLU, are part of the Illinois Coalition for Human Rights calling for repeal. Even more encouraging is the growing support from people like Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss, who voted for the law as a state senator when

it passed in 2015. This past May, he explained why he now supports repealing it:

“The last few years have laid bare the consequences of gover nment using its economic power to bully private entities

All of us have watched as the Trump administration has attacked free speech, often under the guise of combatting antisemitism. … It’s wrong when the Trump administration does it, and I’ve come to believe that laws like Illinois’ ban on investments feed into the framework that makes actions like this possible.” (2)

Whether this referendum reaches the ballot depends on collecting enough signatures. If you see volunteers wearing yellow Oak Park Supports Free Speech T-shirts, stop by to ask questions, sign the petition if you’re eligible, or volunteer. Together, we can give Oak Park voters a voice in support of free speech and human rights.

Consider the impact on the working class

I am very concerned about the elimination of single-family zoning in Oak Park. I must preface this by stating that we are a multiracial family, so diversity is absolutely key to our sense of morality.

We have lived in Oak Park for 28 years, so we know the community well. The elimination of single-family zoning will have no impact on the uppermiddle-class or upper-class residents of Oak Park. There will be no multifamily buildings constructed between Ridgeland and Home, north of Lake. All of the multifamily buildings will be built on the periphery of Oak Park which

already has a problem with density. Frankly, this is an attempt by those in power in the village to claim that they are promoting “diversity” without it having any impact upon their daily lives; they will be exempt, based on where they live

Please, please, please consider the impact of this on working-class Oak Park people for once. Property tax inflation and now this are forcing many of us to make tough decisions.

I totally support a referendum on this issue.

Gerald Butters Jr. Oak Park

Trustees, make your case to us

I have been trying to understand the Oak Park Village Board’s proposed single-family zoning change in support of its initiative for more “missing middle housing.” It took some searching to discover https://engageoakpark. com/shape, a whole website devoted to the issue that neither I nor many other Oak Parkers were aware of. Why does it have to be so difficult to get information? A document of further interest was “Shape Oak Park Engagement Summary” (Jan. 2026).

I started my attempt at self-education with several questions: What percent of increase in density is the board aiming for? How does it plan to manage it? Why would variances to zoning laws not be enough? If the goal is also to increase diversity, what is the evidence that eliminating single-family zoning will lead to greater diversity in Oak Park? Are there other like communities that serve as a model? How is eliminating single-family zoning going to make Oak Park more affordable for all?

The information referenced above did not provide answers. In fact, some of the Shape Oak Park stakeholder discussions in the “Engagement Summary” noted challenges that are echoed in my own questions. What is the village board’s thinking on the challenges of preserving neighborhood character; making missing middle housing financially workable without subsidies; accommodating increased density with existing infrastructure, such as traffic, parking, schools, public services?

Affordability and diversity have been cited as major goals in wanting to change the single-family zoning code. If about half of the

village’s current housing units are multifamily, mostly rentals, as Dan Haley’s column in Wednesday Jour nal (June 24) noted, and Oak Park’s property taxes are notoriously high as we know, how are taller multifamily units going to make living in the village more affordable? According to the Institute of Housing Studies at DePaul University, the share of owner-occupied households in Oak Park that are cost-burdened (more than 30 percent of household income spent on mortgage, rent, or other housing needs) is a shocking 25.1%. The share of cost-burdened renter-occupied households is 43.9% (https://www.housingstudies. org/data-portal/geography/oak-park/#costburdened-households).

What will new Missing Middle Housing by itself do for these Oak Parkers? As Robert Milstein pointed out in his excellent letter in these pages, significant change in affordability and reduction of racial as well as economic disparities take a broader range of measures than zoning reform alone.

I appreciate and respect the work VOP trustees selflessly do. However, to say that because they were elected to office they have a mandate to make such a consequential decision without voter input is hubristic. I wish the trustees would engage with their constituents, respond to our many unanswered questions, and make their evidence-based case to us before moving forward.

If they don’t feel the need to, we deserve a referendum.

A referendum request

Below is a copy of an email I sent to The Oak Park Village Board and each trustee individually: As a re presentative board, I thought you would like to hear from a household you represent. We are not in favor of the village board eliminating single-family zoning. At a minimum, a change of this magnitude requires a referendum of the taxpaying stakeholders. This issue is too important and the ramifications too high for the board to vote on it solely.

I believe your intentions are good, but this is not the way to achieve your goals. Put this issue out to a referendum to understand what the people you represent really want. Thank you for your service.

Pragmatism vs. idealism?

That the Illinois Housing Development Authority approved two tax-credit fundings for the affordable housing project on Madison Street at a meeting in June is an indication of the tenacity of a nonprofit entity and the inherent spirit of Oak Park to be as open-minded and inclusive as possible.

As with all decisions, there are inherent thirdand fourth-order effects that should be considered. Regarding this decision, the effects upon the economic survival of Mama Thai and Al’s Grill need to be taken into consideration and protected Even a person with an elementary reading of Aristotle’s work on logic understands that tax credits are a by-product of taxes being paid. These businesses pay a portion of those taxes based on all of the taxing systems currently in place. They are also sources of gathering, fellowship, and convenience. Not to mention excellent food and service. The question to be addressed is how will Perry Vietti, head of the Interfaith Housing Development Corporation and Keystone Apartments ensure the economic viability of these businesses during what will be, at best, a disruptive construction process?

There is an empiric conflict between pragmatism and idealism. Pragmatism without introspection is not as dangerous as idealism without accountability.

Transparency is key to buy-in

Dear President Scaman and the Board of Trustees,

First off, I want to thank all the members of the current Oak Park Village Board for your work (often unappreciated) on behalf of the residents. Public service in Oak Park is not for the thin-skinned. I salute your diligence and patience.

In reading the many letters, social media posts, postcards, and flyers regarding the proposed multifamily zoning expansion, I sense that your current work on this critical housing equity issue is not fully understood and, quite frankly, not trusted. I also sense a groundswell of opposition relative to a perceived lack of “transparency” — whether that perception is true or not.

I recently received a direct-mail

postcard asking me to voice opposition to changing current residential zoning Direct mail to thousands of addresses is expensive. It seems that people are getting organized and are committing significant money to the cause. This indicates that without broader civic buy-in, even well-intentioned policy risks lacking the democratic legitimacy required for longter m success by the public

As a Home Rule municipality, the Oak Park Board of Trustees has no legal obligation to put any measure to a binding referendum. However, when monumental shifts in our housing fabric are fast-tracked with compressed public dialogue, confusion and anxiety fill the vacuum. To ensure that any progress made on housing diversity is sustainable and per manently woven into our commu-

nity, it is your duty to anchor this process in broad public trust.

If the board votes to implement these sweeping zoning changes without deep, collaborative resident input, the predictable democratic remedy for opponents will be to organize and replace the current board with new trustees tasked with re pealing the measure. A policy built on a fragile civic foundation can be easily undone. A truly open and transparent process is the only way to forge a lasting consensus that serves all Oak Parkers.

“Transparency” is a word that gets used a lot to reduce anxieties around difficult processes. It is time to put that word into practice.

Let the residents decide

Copy of letter sent to Oak Park Village Trustees on July 15:

As a longtime (40+ years) resident of Oak Park, I would sincerely appreciate it if you would allow the public to weigh in on decisions, via a referendum, on issues that affect one’s day-to-day living. Case in point: declaring a change to the leaf collection policy which has been in place for decades (and working for citizens). Why are we paying these very high taxes for services if the services are just being eliminated without a vote?

And now there is a discussion regard-

I encourage all residents to send a note to the Oak Park Village Board to express their opinion regarding taking the single-family zoning change to referendum:

Dear Board of Trustees, I have lived in Oak Park for 23 years. My husband and I bought our first home here when we left the city to raise our family, and we still live in it today. We are proud residents, civically engaged, politically active, and we always vote

I have never written to this board before. I am writing now to request one

ing eliminating single-family zoning. Again, the residents should have a voice in making decisions like this. Yes, you were elected to represent the community, but that really didn’t include assuming you know what the residents want in day-to-day living alterations. Why are you not putting these types of decisions in the hands of the residents? Are you afraid that folks will not agree with your “personal agenda”? It is as much likely that people will agree with you as not, but let’s find out. Even seniors are not opposed to change (as some recent news-

Is this hubris?

specific action: put single-family zoning to a referendum.

This is not the leaf pickup schedule, or bike lanes, or over night parking rules

This is a decision that will fundamentally and ir revocably change the character of this village. A change this significant to the quality of life of the people who live here — and who pay very high taxes for that privilege — should be decided by the people who live here.

The essence of representative democracy is that those in power exercise their best judgment on behalf of the people

paper articles have alluded) — but people just want a voice in the process. Just electing you is not a mandate to make changes willy-nilly.

Please reconsider your recent approach to making decisions on “behalf ” of the residents — let the residents decide. A referendum on eliminating single-family zoning is a good way to go. And while you’re at, why don’t you also take a reading on what folks want in ter ms of leaf collection.

But trust in that judgment depends on the people having a voice. On an issue this consequential, a referendum is the clearest, most democratic way to hear it. Let the voice that decides this be the voice of residents — not paid consultants.

Only fear or sheer hubris can explain this board’s reluctance to let citizens vote on a matter of this magnitude. I don’t think this board is fearful. Whether it’s hubris, I suppose we’ll find out.

Questions that beg to be answered

I recently sent an email to the Oak Park Village Board and president, asking a number of questions. Trustee Taglia was the only official who responded, and he said he was pushing for a public refe rendum. None of my questions, however, were actually answered. Nor have I seen an FAQ, fact sheet, or plain-language explanation from the Trustees or the village manager. That is not a good way to handle a proposal of this magnitude. My questions are straightforward:

• What exactly would change for current homeowners? Will all lots be zoned the same across the village?

• Would all single-family areas be rezoned, or only certain parts of the village?

• Can any single-family home now be tor n down and replaced with a multi-unit building?

• Will larger buildings be allowed in the middle of existing single-family blocks?

• Will setbacks, height limits, and parking rules change to accommodate larger structures? Or will existing restrictions stay in place?

• What is the impact on roads, sewers, schools, and other infrastructure?

• How would property taxes be affected?

• Will new coach houses with plumbing be allowed to be constructed for rental or family use?

• How would the rules differ in historic districts versus non-historic neighborhoods?

• What protections will residents have if developers begin buying up and replacing single-family homes with rental units or short-ter m rentals?

These are not abstract questions. They go to the daily life, property rights, and long-ter m character of our neighborhood. The village board should be more open, accessible, and transparent before advancing a change this significant.

I am honestly unsure what to think about this proposal because the village board has not answered basic questions. This change is profound, and more discussion with the public and, ideally, a referendum are needed Grant Johnsey Oak Park

Don’t destroy the village fabric

My family, in the last 120-plus years in Oak Park, has built two single-family homes, and two commercial-residential properties. As a longtime contractor, resident and landlord, I can assure you that no developer is interested in building af fordable housing. T hey are trying to make the most profit possible. The supply and demand theory, that we just need to build more, is flawed. They assume we will outstrip demand. With all the high-rises and the number of apar tments added in the last decade,

the rents have not been driven down at all but have gone up. When you build so many multifamily and high-rise structures, you destroy the very fabric of this village. Then the prices will drop, leaving existing homeowners with financial losses in a village that they and you no longer want to live in.

With each single-family home you demolish, those homes and their neighborhoods, constitute the very foundation of this village. If you destroy the foundation of anything, what do you

have left?

Abolishing single-family zoning is a misguided attempt to address affordable housing; disre garding the massive consequences is ir responsible.

While the federal government is ignoring the voice of the people, I would hope our village government will listen and either just vote no or send this to a referendum.

Jim Gilchrist Oak Park

Big decisions deserve a community vote

Like many residents, I have been following the discussion surrounding the proposed changes to single-family zoning and the village board’s scheduled July 28 vote. This represents a significant decision about the future of our community, and regardless of where residents stand on the proposal itself, a decision of this magnitude deserves meaningful public participation.

I appreciate that our village board is reviewing expert analysis and considering ways to address housing challenges Thoughtful planning is important, and housing affordability and accessibility are issues many communities are facing. However, expert recommendations and previous board decisions should not

replace the voice of the residents who live here today

Changes to residential zoning have the potential to affect the character of our neighborhoods, property values, and the way our community develops for generations. These are not minor adjustments; they are decisions that will shape the future identity of our village

Recently, our community was given the chance to vote on a proposal involving funding for an indoor pool because it re presented a significant investment in our future. A change that could fundamentally affect residential zoning deserves that same level of consideration. This is not about opposing progress or ignoring the need for thoughtful housing

Don’t wreck what makes OP spec

We cannot eliminate single-family zoning! Our whole community would be affected ne gatively It is already congested with recent apar tment/ condo units, not to mention all the ones that were already in place. The parking is unattainable and homeowner values would plummet. We are a unique, historic village and ending singlefamily zoning would go a long way in destroying what makes Oak Park so very special. We do not need to be everything to everyone. I respectively request a referendum to decide this matter

Let residents vote on zoning

I am writing to share my concerns about the village board’s plan to eliminate single-family zoning across Oak Park, and to add my voice to those asking for a binding referendum before any final decision.

solutions. It is about ensuring that the people affected by these decisions have a meaningful voice in determining the direction of their community.

If this proposal truly has broad support among residents, allowing the community to vote on it would strengthen its credibility and provide a clear mandate moving forward. A public vote should not be viewed as a barrier to progress, but as a way to ensure important decisions reflect the will of the people they affect.

A strong community is built through good policies, trust, transparency, and the involvement of the people who live here.

Geq Polk Oak Park

This isn’t a small technical fix. It would reshape density, traffic, parking, and neighborhood character village-wide, all at once, with no pilot phase A change this significant deserves direct resident input. A few questions I hope the board will address publicly before moving forward: Will this actually produce more affordable housing, given that duplexes and small apartment buildings are often less profitable for developers than luxury units? Oak Park is already one of the densest communities in Illinois — has the added strain on infrastructure and traffic been studied? What happens to neighbors’ ability to weigh in on projects once developers are simply following as-of-right rules? I would also ask the board to consider our current health-care capacity. West Suburban Medical Center’s emergency room has been closed since late March, and residents needing urgent care are already traveling farther for it. Adding meaningful new density before that gap is resolved seems like something the board should address directly, not overlook

I share the goals of affordability and inclusion behind this proposal. I just don’t think we have shown that eliminating single-family zoning, applied all at once and without a public vote, is the way to get there. I’d welcome a referendum so residents can weigh in directly on a decision that will shape this village for decades.

Mary Vostal Oak Park

Carl Bailey Oak Park

Why I’m for a referendum

The decision on whether to change the current zoning ordinance to allow more flexibility in types of residences affects everyone. The character of the village is shaped by our built environment. The zoning that guides future development either supports the status quo or allows new approaches to the ways we live in our community.

The question of how to decide whether to change the current regulations affects both current and future residents. Many residents are not familiar with how zoning is decided and how it affects their property. It is important for the public to be infor med. If major zoning changes are proposed, there must be adequate communication about those changes and the opportunity to have input into a final decision.

I support bringing a major change in zoning regulations to the public through a referendum process. This would allow for adequate public notice, communication/ education, and interaction prior to a vote The process would shine a light on this issue and encourage more people to be aware of and infor med about any important proposed change.

It would still be up to the village board to

craft the language and details of implementing any changes. It would simply ensure that residents are given the benefit of being adequately informed before any action is taken. In the past there have been decisions that have led to a great deal of blowback after a policy has already been enacted. This is not good for the board or the residents.

For an issue with permanent and significant impact for Oak Park, taking the time to craft a well-articulated referendum, adequate and clear public information/ education prior to a vote, and opportunities for dialogue aside of the regular board meeting will make it more likely that whatever the outcome, people feel heard and engaged.

Geothermal loop system is good news

I can’t tell you how delighted I was to read about Oak Park’s opportunity to explore community geother mal! [Community Geothermal could be headed to Oak Park, Homes, July 15] The Oak Park Residence Corp. [OPRC] received a $25,000 grant to explore a neighborhood geothermal loop system, which would allow individual homes, commercial buildings, nonprofits and municipal buildings to all tap into the same system — with significant savings for all.

From the article: “Neighborhood geothermal operates on a loop to provide a shared, utility-scaled underground piping network to provide heating and cooling to an entire neighborhood.”

I’ve been thinking about switching to geother mal someday when my existing fur nace and/or AC fail. A neighborhood system would make it less costly to switch to geother mal and likely lead to less disruption to my trees and yard. This grantfunded research brings this possibility one step closer Huzzah for OPRC for persisting in its grant applications until it received the award, and huzzah to Oak Park for continuously working toward a more sustainable future!

Referendum is necessary

Since everyone who lives in Oak Park pays property taxes, directly or indirectly, we consider the new proposed single-family zoning change to be taxation without representation. Therefore, we are requesting a referendum on this matter. We are already one of the densest cities in Illinois with many condos,

duplexes, apartment buildings and heavy traffic

Affordable housing is a well-meaning goal. However, we are at maximum capacity compared to other parts of the country.

ultimate decision-makers

We would like to express our support for a village referendum on the issue of zoning changes before any Oak Park Village Board vote for adoption. Our position is that the role of the trustees is to:

1) Identify problems and issues within the village and to inform and educate the residents

2) Identify solutions and options and present the pros and cons for each.

3) Present the opinions of the board as to which solution/option it feels is opti-

Police reform, not just oversight

from page 31

Instead, the Oak Park Village Board should establish, by ordinance, an Independent Critical Incident Review Commission charged with producing a public report within 12 months containing specific recommendations on policy, training, supervision, transparency, and use of force.

We need not engage a consultant to accomplish this. Oak Park is uniquely positioned to do this work. We are home to attorneys, judges, criminologists, behavioral health professionals, academics, policy experts, and engaged residents who have spent their careers thinking about public institutions We should put that expertise to work

While we cannot reverse the circumstances that robbed Mr. Wallace of his life, we can make this tragedy mean something if we treat the underlying disease and not just the symptoms.

It is up to the resident taxpayers to make the final decision and the role of the board to execute that decision, even if the board does not endorse it.

We respect the expertise and opinions of the board but the importance of any issue that may change the character of the village demands that my fellow residents be the ultimate decision-makers.

resilience. A department operating with a significantly reduced deployable workforce, a patrol division dominated by inexperienced personnel, and a training pipeline that fails to produce prepared officers consistently is not “on track” — it is in crisis. Leadership — the chief, the village president, and the board of trustees — cannot continue to present optimistic narratives that bear no resemblance to operational reality

Residents deserve a department that meets its staffing benchmarks, enforces rigorous standards, and protects the community with competence. Oak Park police have ear ned their standing in Illinois law enforcement. It is time for leadership to defend that legacy with action, not assurances

Worst-case scenario?

When a town drops single-family zoning and allows multifamily, most of the people pushing for it are doing it for good reasons They want more housing, lower rents, and neighborhoods that regular people can afford. That is not who truly wins here. The winners are big banks and private equity fir ms: Blackstone, Starwood, Greystone

Here’s the single-family home playbook from the winners:

1. Buy up single-family homes across a wide area, one at a time, at scale. Pay in cash.

2. Convert & renovate them to multi-unit and same specification & design.

3. Rent them out.

4. Centralize the property management and maintenance across the whole portfolio.

5. Bring in legal firepower to challenge appraisals, shifting the tax burden off multifamily and onto single-family homeowners. None of that requires you to build an apartment tower. It only requires that the rules stop treating a house as a house.

Now some people will tell you the new 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act fixes this. It doesn’t. ROAD doesn’t block institutional money, it redirects it. The carve-outs for build-to-rent, renovate-to-rent, and homeownership programs are wide enough to drive the entire playbook straight through.

The best case for the other side is supply. Places like Minneapolis upzoned and saw rent growth slow, and the argument goes that single-family zoning is what creates the scarcity that draws institutional buyers in the first place. Fair. But cheaper rent is not the same as owning something, and the fir ms running this playbook are not buying scarcity.

The banks and investors are buying future rent checks.

If you want to see the strategy written down in plain English, the firms aren’t hiding it. Avid Realty Partners publishes a walkthrough of exactly this transition: https://avidrealtypartners.com/scalingup-how-to-transition-from-single-family-tomultifamily-investing.

Single-family zoning is good for families and individuals. Multifamily zoning is a great investment strategy for private equity and the big banks, and they are still in the early innings of the earnings run – that means lots of dry powder to buy up homes Lawrence Roberts Oak Park

Fergersons’ love stor y forges their wa at Fe ick

Couple is a rare example of spouses coaching same spor

By GREGG VOSS Contributing Reporter

Hollywood brought us Love and Basketball, the 2000 motion picture starring Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan. But Hollywood has nothing on basketball at Fenwick with Dave and Lenae Fergerson.

Call it, “Love and Coaching.”

It’s rare to have a husband-and-wife team coaching two sports at any school, but the same sport, at the same school? Welcome to the Fergerson household, which consists of Dave and Lenae and their two daughters, Leianna (9) and Zoie (7).

“It’s constant basketball (and) sometimes we have to say, ‘Let’s separate it,’” Lenae said in a relaxed interview last week with her husband in the Fenwick library. “Sometimes we have to tell each other, ‘No basketball talk.’”

Ditto for Dave

“After a game, you let each other vent,” he said. “She vents or I vent. … ‘OK, I’m done, let’s be normal.’”

The pair were top-level collegiate players – Lenae a hallof-famer at DePaul and Dave, who is a year older, at St. Louis University. Post-colle ge, they ended up in Europe, each playing 13 seasons, Lenae after a stint in the WNBA.

One of those seasons, they were playing for their respective men’s and women’s teams in Nantes, on the northwest coast of France.

“We played in the same city, became good friends, hanging out, working on our jump shots,” Dave reminisced. “When you’ re in Europe, it’s easy to kind of fall for someone … ‘Hey, you speak English.’ ‘Hey, you’ re an American.’ ‘Hey, let’s hang out.’”

They did. When the time came to come back to the U.S., they decided to see where life would take them, and it led them down the same path. They will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary this year.

They’re still competitive about their jump shots. Keep in mind that Lenae scored over 2,000 points at DePaul because she had “the greenest of green lights” from her coach, Doug Bruno. That’s what made her a hall-of-famer, inducted in February.

S hooting is a source of friendly c ontention for the c ouple.

“As of late – she’s going to be in denial – I beat her the majority of the time,” Dave said. “In the beginning, she kicked my butt.”

Lenae’s look said it all.

Riiiiiight.

“He actually gives me a run for my money now, and he’s beaten me a couple of times,” she said. “I am still consid-

ered the shooter in the family, but we both can shoot.”

Back to Dave

“She always says, ‘You couldn’t shoot before you met me,’” he said. “I’m like, ‘That’s not true.’”

All kidding aside, these coaches care deeply for basketball, their players and Fenwick. They tend to go to each other’s games and offer advice. To a point, of course. When it’s time to be parents, they’re fully committed to that role.

“Sometimes you can’t see everything,” said Lenae, head coach since 2022-23 and head of Fenwick’s Health and Physical Education Department. “In the stands, I may see things he might not be able to catch up on. We communicate on how to make each other’s teams better.”

Coaching boys and girls is different, they said, which shouldn’t be a sur prise.

“Not every girl wants to score 20 points,” said Dave, who works in admissions at Fenwick and took over as boys head coach in 2023-24. “Every dude wants to score 20 points and if you have a team of 10 guys, it’s a 200-point game. You can’t even do that in a video game. One of the greatest challenges is to get kids to accept their role.”

But there’s another difference Lenae points out: how youngsters these days view their contributions.

“I think (with) social media, the platforms these kids have access to aren’t always positive,” she said. “The kids start getting worried about rankings and not so much playing and developing.

“Sometimes it becomes me, me, me versus at the end of the day, it’s a team sport. I always preach, one person is no bigger than the program.

“It’s going to take a team.”

But that’s one thing Dave and Lenae do have down from the mar riage standpoint, especially after games. Lenae said her husband, who grew up in San Francisco following the Golden State Warriors’ famed Run TMC teams, is “more of a counselor for me than I am for him.

“He constantly helps me,” she said. “There’s life after basketball. Now you have to go in there and be mommy. I follow in his footsteps.”

Added her husband: “When the horn goes of f, the kids are happy you’ re just dad, and they don’ t know if you won or lost.”

Trinity alum is proud of the program

Caprice Smith loves the direction of the Blazers

By MELVIN TATE Contributing Reporter

At the IHSA Class 3A girls basketball state finals at Illinois State University in March, Trinity High School enjoyed tremendous support from fans rooting on the Blazers in the program’s fourth downstate appearance, the first in 10 years.

Among those watching was Trinity alum Caprice Smith, Class of 2004. In an interview with Wednesday Journal, she said being at ISU brought back fond memories.

“I sat right behind the bench. It was definitely a cool moment,” Smith said. “They hadn’t been there in a while, so it was exciting being able to go down and cheer the girls on a little bit.”

Smith was Trinity’s leading scorer, averaging 21.5 points per game.

“A lot of memories,” said Smith of that season. “It was great being there for the first time in school history. We had a police escort from campus to the expressway. I remember it all.”

Smith credits Nichols for the Blazers’ success. She said he was demanding and asked a lot of his players but also added that he was the perfect coach for her team.

Smith was one of the top players on the first Trinity team to reach state, which happened in the 2002-03 season. Under the guidance of head coach Jason Nichols, the Blazers went 27-8 and reached the Class AA quarterfinals

“He pushed you and expected a lot,” Smith said, “but he was a motivator. He saw talent and pushed us to where we needed to be. He did a great job bringing us all together and was really a force.”

Following her graduation from Trinity, Smith played collegiately at DePaul University from 2004 to 2008 under legendary coach Doug Bruno. She helped the Blue Demons reach the NCAA Tournament in each of her four seasons, including the program’s first-ever advancement to the Sweet Sixteen in 2005-06.

Smith scored 1,199 points in her DePaul career and made the All-Big East Team in 2006-07; she also led the team in rebounds and blocked shots that season. Moreover, Smith

excelled in the classroom, making the Conference USA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll in her freshman year and the Big East All-Academic Team her final three seasons

“Doug is great. He has a wealth of knowledge,” Smith said of playing for Bruno. “He saw the best in you and wanted to get it out. He wasn’t just a basketball coach, he was a teacher. Everyone wants to learn strategies, but they don’t want to learn the game, and Doug was a true teacher of the game.”

Smith had designs on continuing her playing career overseas, but nagging injuries, along with a call from Nichols, who was coaching Montini Catholic at the time, changed everything.

“I had no idea I was going to be a coach,” she said. “Jason called me and said he had a couple of 6-4 incoming freshmen he wanted me to work with. I went up to Montini one day and worked them out. I really enjoyed doing it and wound up joining his staff.”

Smith served as an assistant coach under Nichols for 11 seasons. Together, they helped lead the Broncos to four 3A state titles, including a three-peat from 2009-10 through 2011-12, and nine state trophies overall.

In 2020, Smith returned to DePaul and became video coordinator for Bruno. Two years later, she rejoined the coaching ranks as an

assistant coach at the University of Illinois Chicago for head coach and Oak Park native Ashleen Bracey

“It was a great learning and growing experience,” said Smith of UIC. “Prior to that, I’d only coached at the high school level, and it was great to learn under someone with great experience in Ashleen.”

Last month, Smith joined Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville as assistant coach for Samantha Quigley Smith. The opportunity to reunite with one of her DePaul teammates was one she couldn’t turn down.

“Sam had a spot on her staf f available, and she asked me if I would be interested. I was excited about it because Sam is like family,” Smith said. “I love being here. The people, the neighborhood, the girls, the staff, everyone’s been very welcoming.”

As Smith prepares for her SIUE debut, she’ll keep a close eye on Trinity. She’s met with Blazers’ coach Kim Coleman and thinks highly of her

“Kim’s great, I love her,” Smith said. “She knows what she’s doing and she’s taking the program to a great level and direction. I think they’ll be even better than last year to be honest. Those kids got the experience of going downstate; coming up empty, they’re going to be thirsty to get back and finish things.”

Fenwick lands new swimming and boys water polo coaches

By MELVIN TATE Contributing Reporter

It did not take long for new Fenwick High School aquatics director Brigitte Kusevskis to put her imprint on the program. In a press release, 16, the school announced the hi ings of Bryan Lee as head coach for the boys and girls teams, and Mi boys water polo head coach.

“Bryan’s modern approach and technical precision complement Mike’s championship pedigree and deep roots in our community,” Kusevskis said. “Our studentathletes will be guided body Fenwick excellence.”

Like Kusevski alum, having gr part of five state championship teams in his time with the Friars – two in

ming, three in water polo. He also was a member of the United States Youth National Water Polo Team that competed in the 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival. As an assistant coach under the late, legendary David Perry, he helped Fenwick boys water polo win state titles between 1998 and 2004, and was inducted into the Illiter Polo Hall of Fame in 2007. Gruszeczki has also served as a referee with

zki and Smith LLP.

“I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to coach again at Fenwick,” said Gruszeczki, re placing Beto Garcia, who had been boys head coach for the past three seasons and aquatics director the past four

received his bachelor’s de gree administration from then graduated rsity’s law school. He served as an assistant state’s attorney for the Cook County State’s Attorney Office before opening his own law firm, Gruszec-

“When I left in 2004, I always hoped to come back some day. Fenwick provided the foundation for me to succeed academically, athletically, and professionally … the faculty and coaches I had at Fenwick had an incredible impact on my life,” Gruszeczki added. “I look forward to working with our outstanding student-athletes and helping them grow. To g ether as F riars, we will accomplish great things.”

Lee served as an assistant coach for boys’ team last season under Justin Jornd, who stepped down after a two-year

tenure as head coach. Prior to joining the F riars, he rece ived the American Swimming Coaches Association’s “30 Under 30” Award in 2025 for his work at Glenview Swim Club, where he was head coach for the 13-14 age group and the developmental high school group.

Lee, who emigrated from South Korea, swam at Glenbrook South, graduating in 2017. He was part of two state-qualifying teams for the Titans in 2016 and 2017.

“Since beginning my coaching career, I have found tremendous fulfillment in helping young athletes reach their full potential, not only as swimmers but as people,” Lee said. “I hope to inspire the same love for the sport that shaped my own life and to create an environment where every swimmer can grow with confidence, resilience, and a lifelong appreciation for swimming.” Lee’s first season as head coach will begin with the start of girls swimming practice, which is Aug. 10.
