Police nab free ‘bait car’

Nationwide Insurance Co. has agreed to donate a bait car to Forest Park, as a way to combat carjackings and thefts By ROBERT J. LIFKA

Contributing Reporter

orest Park police are going fishing for car thieves with a “bait car” donated by a national car insurance company. A bait car is a vehicle that’s meant to be stolen and is planted in an area where that’s likely to happen. Police chief Tom Aftanas said bait cars are equipped with electronics that allow police to remotely turn off the engine and lock doors, allowing officers to avoid a chase and nab offenders. “We hope that word spreads that Forest Park is using a bait car and they stop coming here,” Aftanas said of car thieves. Nationwide Insurance Co. recently agreed to donate a bait car to Forest Park police, in a show of support for the department’s work in combating local vehicle thefts and carjackings. In 2017, 71 cars were stolen in Forest Park, up from 32 taken the year before, according to the FBI’s annual Uniform Crime Reporting program. Officers arrested 15 people for car theft in 2017, as opposed to See BAIT CAR on page 9

The spiritual benefits of golf

y Father’s Day tradition is to play nine holes of golf with my sons and sons-in-law. Since we’re playing on a Sunday, I would like to deliver this sermon to them on the many spiritual benefits of golf: ■■Like faith, golf requires us to lose our “old nature.” We first must learn the proper grip. Our old nature tells us to grip the club tightly, so we have total control. In golf, though, a tight grip keeps us from meeting the ball squarely and it sails off in a wayward direction. ■■Human nature tells us the harder we swing, the farther the ball will fly. But this doesn’t work in golf. Using our strength to muscle the ball will only advance it a short distance. Golf requires a light touch and an easy swing. ■■The most common mistake golfers make is looking up during their swing to see where the ball is headed. This causes them to top the ball, or completely miss it. We have the same problem in life. We’re so busy looking ahead, we don’t focus on the present.

■■Our urge to look up is especially strong, when we’re facing a hazard, like water or sand. We’re constantly looking ahead for trouble. But if we keep our head down and focus on the present, we’re less likely to lose a ball in the water. ■■When we get close to the green, we’re also likely to peek during the swing. Sometimes, we’re so blinded by things we want, we don’t pay attention to doing what it takes to get them. ■■On these chip shots, our nature tells us to stop our club when it hits the ball, so it won’t go over the green. Faith requires us to follow through with our swing, or the ball will come up short. It reminds us to follow through with decisions, rather than being afraid of the consequences. ■■Golf is a frustrating game, but we can’t give in to these frustrations. Golfers must calmly accept adversity. They must humble themselves and nothing is more humbling than raking a sand trap after wasting three shots to get out of it. ■■Our nature is to blame others for our problems, but in golf there’s no one else to blame.

JOHN RICE

Like faith,

golf requires us to lose our “old nature.”

REVIEW

Golf also teaches us courtesy and respect for others. We don’t talk during someone’s shot or do anything to distract them. The golf course may be the last bastion of courtesy. ■■It may also be the last bastion of sportsmanship. Golfers are on the honor system, keeping their own scores. Golfers are so honorable, they call penalties on themselves. ■■Golf also demands honesty. It goes against our nature to count every stroke and finish every putt. But we can’t improve until we face what we’re shooting now. Fudging our score is like cheating on a test. It’s the reason golf pencils don’t have erasers. Golf gives us many opportunities to cheat, but we’re only cheating ourselves. ■■As in faith, there are elements of grace in golf: the fortunate bounce, the ball that skips across the water, the line drive that is stopped by the pin. We need grace on the golf course because it’s so difficult, and contrary to human nature. ■■Golfers have devised their own form of grace — they’re called “mulligans.” God wants us to use only one of these do-overs per round, lest we cheapen grace. ■■Amen. ■■John Rice is a columnist/private detective, who has seen his business and family thrive in Forest Park. He thoroughly enjoys life in the village and still gets a thrill smelling Red Hots, watching softball and strolling through cemeteries. Jrice1038@aol.com

Corrections The Forest Park Review failed to print the full story titled, “Gang burials a problem in western suburbs,” in its May 30 print edition. The full story is included in this issue. We apologize for the omission. The Forest Park Review mistakenly used the wrong fees in its online story titled, “Village increases water fee for residential, commercial customers.” The story has since been corrected and reposted. We regret the errors.

Seven dumpsters, a semi-trailer filled with electronics, plus too many tires, batteries and light bulbs to count: That’s how much the village of Forest Park collected during its “Clean Up, Fix Up, Paint Up” event, which ran May 21-26 and allowed residents to dispose of unwanted household goods by either dropping them off at the Department of Streets and Public Improvements or leaving larger items curbside. “A large amount of the big items were picked up by our public works crew during this week,” Village Administrator Tim Gillian wrote in an email. “This was a very successful event.”

Proviso students redesign East’s old girls pool Solutions presented architecture firm for D209 facilities plan

By NONA TEPPER Staff Reporter

Cesar Martinez remembers making his own toys when he was young, stacking blocks into tall towers, deconstructing mechanical equipment and pressing Legos into one another. “I’m very creative,” he said. “I love creating with my hands.” A drive to create led Martinez to explore architecture, and he decided in sixth grade that he’d like to design modern houses. During the most recent school year, he learned about a unique opportunity offered through Proviso East’s Fine Arts and Languages Department called the Reimagining Space Project, which explored ways to repurpose the long-shuttered girls pool at the school, and immediately signed up to be a part. As District 209 thinks about the future of its facilities, Martinez is part of a group of students who have already come up with a solution for how to reinvent the old pool: Make it into a chill room. “So many kids are stressed about a lot of things. It’s just a space for kids to come, take any problems off their mind, be alone, think to themselves for a bit, lay down for 10 minutes or have movie nights,” said Martinez, 17. He joined about 20 students who spent the year researching and creating scale foam models of new uses for the old pool space. Ideas included a movie screening area inside the empty pool tank and a kitchen, cellphone charging station and ping-pong table

Decorated with checkered wallpaper, Martinez’s model also offers speakers for karaoke nights, places to play videogames and a hockey table. “I think it’s a good opportunity for the future if I do become an architect,” Martinez said. Students started the year by surveying classmates about what kinds of spaces they believed Proviso East lacked. After reviewing the surveys, the group found their classmates wanted somewhere to spend free time and relax.

“The big idea behind socially engaged art projects is you have to involve the community,” said Marcia LaPorte, the Fine Arts and World Languages Department chairwoman, who headed the project. The group created about 10 models for how the pool could be remade into a relaxation area. When LaPorte realized the district was reviewing its facilities, she felt a sense of serendipity. She contacted the school district’s architecture firm and, in February, students presented their ideas to Michael Dolter and

Jessica Wagner, architects from Perkins and Will, the firm leading D209’s facilities master planning process. In April, students travelled downtown and toured the architecture firm’s offices in the Wrigley Building. “The next step, I think for architects involved in the project, is to use students’ ideas,” LaPorte said. “Nobody’s made any decisions right now on which it would be, but eventually.” Kamya Sutton, 16, said Perkins and Will liked her group’s idea -- a movie theater that includes a bed, study hall, bean bag chair and more. When she toured their office, she said she was inspired by all the foam cutouts of modern homes she saw. She’s since made a foam model of what she wants her future home to look like. “When you have nothing to do, you could come here on your own time and chill in here,” she said of her group’s pool design. “It gives you a break, and allows you to do something on top of having fun. I really love the model.”

Village increases water fee for residential, commercial customers Water is at least the fifth fee to increase recently, as the village works to plug a more than $1 million budget deficit By ROBERT J. LIFKA Contributing Reporter

The Forest Park Village Council continued its overhaul of the village fee structure on May 29, voting unanimously to increase water rates by 1.5 percent. Since November, village officials have been raising fees in an effort to plug a budget deficit of more than $1 million for fiscal year 2019, which runs from May 1 to April 30, 2019. The village had a deficit of $1.6 million in fiscal 2018, which ended April 30. The increase represents the first change to the water rate since 2015. Under the new rate, the cost for residential customers will increase to $7.31 per 100 cubic feet of water transmitted, from $7.20 previously. Commercial, multi-family, senior citizen and institutional customers will see similar increases. Forest Park officials said the village is no longer able to absorb annual increases from the city of Chicago, which supplies water to the village. Referring to it as a “bitter pill to swallow,” Mayor Anthony Calderone said future increases from the city of Chicago will likely be passed on to residents as they occur. “Whatever the increases are, we need to pass them along

to residents due to our financial situation,” he explained. “The reality is that, moving forward, we are not going to have a choice but to pass these increases along.” Calderone said that since 2016 increases from the city of Chicago are capped at the consumer price index or 5 percent, whichever is lower. Rates per 100 cubic feet of water transmitted for commercial/industrial customers will also increase from $11.35 to $11.52; for multi-family customers from $9.06 to $9.20; for senior citizen customers from $5.57 to $5.66; and for institutional customers from $6.56 to $6.66. The rate for 1,000 cubic feet of water transmitted for industrial/commercial large meter customers will increase from $113.50 to $115.25 and for institutional large meter customers from $65.60 to $66.61. Village administrator Tim Gillian said the increases are expected to generate an additional $86,500 in annual revenue. Other fee increases village officials have approved since November include parking permits, parking tickets, garbage pickup and ambulance service. The combined fee increases are expected to generate more than $500,000 annually, but village officials will not see that entire amount until each increase has been in effect for a

full 12 months. The parking ticket fee increase is expected to generate an additional $250,000; the parking permit fee increase, $170,000; the ambulance service fee increase, $53,600; and the garbage pickup fee increase, $21,000. “We’re not all the way there yet but we are getting close to the bottom,” Calderone said, when asked what other fees the village could increase. Village Finance Director Leticia Olmsted and Gillian have said the village’s deficit will likely decrease after this year because of increased sales tax revenue the village receives from the new HOBO store, which replaced the old Kmart store and opened in September 2017, and the recently opened Living Fresh Market, which replaced the former Ultra Foods and opened in early May. Calderone also expects the increased sales tax revenue from HOBO and Living Fresh to have a positive effect on the village’s financial picture, admitting the loss of Kmart and Ultra Foods “pierced a hole” in the budget. “Between HOBO and Living Fresh, that should help fill the deficit,” he said, later adding: “What is impossible is to get your arms around forecasting. We need three to five months to get a decent feel of what we can anticipate.”

2700 pansies, 200 pussy willows, and an eye for arranging Patrick Brannif estimated the village spends $20,000 annually on flowers By TOM HOLMES Contributing Reporter

When Patrick Brannif started arranging the flowers for the Forest Park Department of Public Works, he experienced some growing pains. “What I planted was kind of a hodge podge. I would pick anything that was colorful and throw it together,” he said, laughing. “It looked like a kaleidoscope.” Twenty five years later, with the assistance of other employees of the Department of Public Works, Brannif ’s polished green thumb can now be seen by all of Forest Park. Along Madison Street, Brannif is responsible for arranging 28 sets of flowers, in alternating sizes of small and large ceramic pots. Each large pots holds 72 pansies; the smaller ones 54. And that’s not counting the arrangement of 150 plants surrounding the fountain in Constitution Court, or the perennial beds that run through the middle of Roosevelt Road. Brannif estimated the village spends about $20,000 annually on flowers. “I’ve learned a lot over the years,” Brannif said. “What you are getting in me is a regular public works worker with a little skill and love, and it turns out nice.” Brannif resists the title of horticulture expert, preferring instead the description of “jack of all trades.” He added that he’s learned a lot from McAdam Landscaping Professionals, the Forest Park-based firm the village buys all of its flowers from. He said McAdam will sometimes give him a recipe for an arrangement, or offer advice on which

species bloom best during certain seasons. Although the majority of the flowers supplied to the U.S. are grown in Colombia, Rob McAdam said that most of the flowers his firm supplies come from growers in the Midwest. He said these vendors provide quality flowers with a good root structure, which means they require less maintenance than cheaper plants that often aren’t as healthy. Some of the tropical plants used at times in the center of arrangements on Madison Street are also grown in Florida. “People don’t often realize the relationship they have with plants,” McAdam said. “The colorful pansies now growing along Madison Street have a positive effect on people’s attitudes and moods.” Brannif will soon change the plants, and will replace the pansies with plants that thrive during the dog days of summer. In the fall, he will plant flowers that can tolerate cooler weather, like pansies, or mums, or possibly kale, snapdragons, chard or berry plants. In November Brannif will lay evergreen boughs and dogwood branches over the pots, which he says look really good with a little snow. “Sometimes,” he said with a chuckle, “we’ll accent the evergreens with tinsel sticks called tings which are sticks with glitter with glitter on them.” Laurie Kokenes, the director of the Forest Park Chamber of Commerce, said the flowers in the village present a polished image of the town. “Pat has a great eye for what looks good, and he takes pride in putting it all together and caring for them,” Kokenes said.

D209 hires new HR head in second board vote Anthony Brazouski will start July 1

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

The second time was the charm — at least when it comes to Anthony Brazouski, who was hired as Proviso Township High Schools District 209’s new assistant superintendent of human resources, safety and athletics. The school board voted 4-3 to approve his appointment at a regular meeting on May 8. The vote came roughly a month after the school board had initially voted 4-3 against Brazouski’s appointment at a regular meeting on April 10. Brazouski, who starts on July 1, will receive a base salary of $144,960, in addition to $15,040 that will be put into the Teachers Retirement System. Health and dental benefits total $33,980. Brazouski replaces Kim Waller-Echols, who announced in April that she was resigning to join another school district. He comes to D209 from various school districts in Wisconsin, where he has worked as chief academic officer, chief executive officer and executive director of academic achievement. According to district officials, he has been a consultant for the district for two years and once applied for the principal position at Proviso West. Brazouski earned a doctorate in Advancement of

Leadership, Learning, and Service and a master’s in Educational Leadership from Cardinal Stritch University. He has a bachelor’s degree in English literature and education from Marquette University. According to a statement released by district officials on June 1, Brazouski has deep personal roots in Proviso Township — particularly in Melrose Park, where he grew up. “I am proud to join a school district that has for over a century provided excellent educational opportunities to the community, including members of my own family,” he said in the district statement. Board members Della Patterson, Theresa Kelly and Amanda Grant had been against Brazouski’s hire since Supt. Jesse Rodriguez recommended him to the board in April. They argued that the process that resulted in Brazouski’s appointment was not fair and echoed concerns of some people on the hiring committee, specifically members of the teachers union, who said that Brazouski was not the best candidate to have emerged from the multi-tiered hiring process, which included four parts, including writing and interview components. Since then, Rodriguez and other board members have

pointed out that some of the claims made by those on the hiring committee were based on inaccurate information. Rodriguez and several board members have since noted that Brazouski was, by far, the most qualified candidate in the hiring pool. Board Vice President Sam Valtierrez switched his vote, making Brazouski’s hiring possible. ANTHONY BRAZOUSKI Valtierrez said he changed his mind D209 Asst. Superintendent after receiving more information about the hiring process, adding that his vote in April regarding Brazouski’s hiring was based on “hearsay” instead of factual information. “Just because I might have changed my mind doesn’t mean that I’m not looking out for the best interests of my students, parents, community or teachers,” Valtierrez said. “The information is right there. It’s on paper, it’s not hearsay. Last time, unfortunately, I made a mistake. It was hearsay.” Board President Ned Wagner said that after he reviewed the hiring process, “it seemed to be complete, fair and handled properly.” He added that the decision to put the matter back on the agenda for a second vote was cleared by the district’s legal counsel and that the hiring falls within the board’s nepotism and hiring policies.

Community Center raises $20K, gets new kitchen The current kitchen hasn’t been updated for about 30 years

By NONA TEPPER Staff Reporter

Thanks to Michael Thompson, and the big generosity of Forest Park residents and businesses, the Howard Mohr Community Center has raised more than $20,000 to update its old kitchen, which hasn’t seen a refurbish for about 30 years, said Karen Dylewski, director of the center, 7640 Jackson Blvd. “Tons of people use it all the time, and it’s their kitchen too, so we needed a little help,” Dylewski said, noting that the Boy Scouts, Disabled American Veterans, Historical Society of Forest Park and more use the center as a meeting place. She estimated more than 250 people attended the Community Center’s fundraiser at the American Legion hall on June 1, and donated about $6,000 through ticket sales and participation in the silent auction and raffles — naming Submarine Tender, Starship Restaurant & Catering, and Smokin M’s as big supporters. The rest of the more than $20,000 came through voluntary donations residents made when they bought Forest Park vehicle stickers this year. Dylewski said Thompson, a retired Forest Park police officer and longtime volunteer at Community Center events, mentioned the idea of upgrading the kitchen after trying to cook 40 pounds of spaghetti for a local group’s fundraiser. The stove could barely

Thompson went to the village asking for funds but realized, “We’re in a financial bind right now and it’s just something we couldn’t ask to do.” “So he raised the money himself,” Dylewski said, with Thompson spearheading the fundraiser and collaborating with the village to add the optional donation to vehicle stickers.

Dylewski said she plans to start renovations “tomorrow,” or as soon as possible, and buy a new microwave, stove and dishwasher, as well as bring all the surrounding equipment up to code “so it’ll be here another 30 years,” she said, adding, “I want to say a huge thank you to the residents of Forest Park for helping us accomplish this; we could never have done it without them.”

Mohr Concrete Santa stolen Police hot on the trail of missing Kris Kringle By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

The Christmas tree and 4-foot-tall Santa figure have been perched atop the concrete hopper at Mohr Concrete in Oak Park since 1957, making them “a local landmark,” according to the concrete company’s website. Howard Mohr served as the first mayor of Forest Park, and the other company in the family line, Mohr Oil Co., is still a staple along Harrison Street. But the yearround Christmas decorations are more immediately recognizable. “Henry ‘Bud’ Mohr never took them down, leading to them becoming part of our tradition,” the Mohr website notes. But Santa has mysteriously been missing since the week before last, according to Oak Park police. They report the figure was stolen sometime between 8 p.m. on May 22 and 8 a.m. the next day. The estimated loss is $100. Karen Richards, a principal of

SAINT NICK NABBED: Bud Mohr with Santa at H.J. Mohr & Sons Co. The iconic Santa has sat atop concrete hopper since 1957 was recently stolen. Mohr & Sons, said in a telephone interview that it might be an inside job, but she can’t be sure. Asked if there is a reward out for Santa, she laughed, saying, “We could give them 10 bucks or something.” This is not the first time Santa

was stolen, she noted. Over 20 years ago, someone made off with Kris Kringle and even sent a ransom note. Mohr didn’t pay the ransom and Santa was later returned, said Richards, adding that they’re hoping to find video of the theft, but no leads as of yet. “I’m just upset because he’s gone. It’s part of the thing here,” she said. The incident comes a little over a month after the Forest Park Review reported that the longtime concrete company ceased selling concrete — they’re only open by appointment for other items like mortar mix, stucco supplies, stone and sewer construction supplies.

Driver hits officer’s car during chase, crashes into median Police charged a Chicago man with aggravated attempt to elude a police officer and possession of ammunition by a felon on May 25. About 5 p.m., officers spotted Cardell Coleman, 20, pacing and looking at his cellphone in the Walgreens parking lot, 1200 Elgin Ave. When police pulled up, Coleman immediately walked over to the neighboring Subway. Eventually an Infiniti pulled into the Subway lot. The Infiniti had dark-tinted windows and reportedly smelled of cannabis. Police turned on their lights and the Infiniti raced out of the lot. At the intersection of Harlem and Roosevelt, the Infiniti tried to strike the police car. As the fleeing vehicle pulled onto I-290, the driver lost control and struck a concrete wall. Trying to recover, the vehicle struck a nearby police officer’s car, another concrete wall and side-swiped several other vehicles, then drove east on I-290 with its hood up and a blown tire. At Austin Boulevard, the driver got out of the car and started running on the expressway. Police got out of their cars and started chasing him on foot across the lanes. Oak Park officers eventually nabbed him. Inside the vehicle police found several cellphones, a blunt of marijuana, small plastic baggies often used for storing narcotics and a round of live ammunition. On his person,

they found $501 in cash. A name check of Coleman revealed he is a convicted felon and cannot be in possession of ammunition. He was charged with a felony.

Facebook grant scam A Forest Park woman reported about 10:58 a.m. on May 25 that she lost all her savings and cash advances. She told police someone claiming to be her sister-in-law’s sister added her as a friend on Facebook and started messaging her about a $200,000 workers compensation government grant that she allegedly won. The Facebook friend gave her contact information to an alleged FBI agent, who later called her about the grant. He told her she could start the process if she had $2,850 to secure and insure the grant. The victim took out the money and deposited it in a Bank of America account. The purported FBI agent then told her she needed an additional $19,500 and later asked for additional funds. The woman drained her credit card accounts and 401K, paying out a total of $34,050. The entire time her “friend” told her how great it felt to be out of debt.

12-year-old’s phone stolen A man ran up to a 12-year-old standing on

the 900 block of Thomas about 3:13 p.m. on June 1 and stole his iPhone 7, valued about $650. The boy told police he and his friend walked to the backyard of the house, and saw a man leaning against the garage. The man then ran at the victim and took his phone. The friend tried to tackle the man, and held onto his leg to slow him down, but the man kicked himself free. The man then got into a blue Ford Taurus and drove away.

Tire stolen Between 1 p.m. on May 18 and 9:27 p.m. on May 27, someone stole a spare tire valued at $250 from the back of a Jeep parked on the 100 block of Desplaines Avenue.

Thief rides off with bike At some point between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on May 25, someone stole a bike valued at $600 from the Harlem Blue Line CTA station, 711 Desplaines Ave.

Lifting groceries, purse lifted A woman was unloading groceries in the 100 block of Elgin Avenue about 2:30 p.m., May 28, when someone took several items from her car. The victim said she parked her car in her driveway for about 15 min-

utes and when she returned, her purse was taken, which included her wallet, credit cards, two pairs of prescription glasses, an iPhone 5 and a pre-loaded Ventra card. She said her car was unlocked.

Recognized for home repair fraud Police spotted a Dodge Charger pull into Thornton’s gas station about 5:17 p.m. on May 30 with another car. The driver of the Dodge got out of the car, and started talking with the occupants of the neighboring vehicle. As the officer watched the two talk, he recognized the driver of the Dodge as a man who was wanted by the Desplaines Police Department for home repair fraud and uses a Forest Park address. Police detained the man and transferred him to Desplaines police. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, May 25-June 3, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded.

Ferrara awards Forest Park employees 3 scholarships

T

hree children of Ferrara Candy Company employees in Forest Park have received $5,000 checks as part of the firm’s second annual Ferrara USA Scholarship Program, which awards 10 high school seniors, graduates or current post-secondary undergraduates money for college. Adan Martinez, who attends Colegio de Nivel Medio Superior in Mexico, will use the $5,000 to attend Morton College; Emma Tencate, who attends Oak Park and River Forest High School, will use it for St. Norbert College; and Marissa Nevarez, who attends Trinity High School in River Forest, plans to use the scholarship to attend Marquette University. Parents or guardians of the seven other students who received scholarships work in Ferrara’s Bellwood, Oakbrook Terrace and Richmond, Virginia facilities. Ferrara awarded $50,000 total. Mike Goldwasser, chief human resources officer at Ferrara, said more than 30 students applied this year, up from about 20 the year before. He said the company worked with Minneapolis-based Scholarship America to review each application, assessing students’ community and school involvement, academics, career goals and more. Goldwasser said the firm split scholarship recipients

BAIT CAR

Catch car thieves from page 1 just one arrest in 2016. In addition to obtaining the free bait car from Nationwide, Aftanas said officials at the insurance company connected the department with the National Insurance Crime Bureau, which agreed to donate $6,500 for the purchase and installation of electronics, audio and video recording equipment inside the bait car, which police will use to gather evidence. Based in Des Plaines, the National Insurance Crime Bureau is a nonprofit dedicated to preventing, detecting and defeating insurance fraud and vehicle theft. “We got lucky,” Aftanas said of the soon-to come vehicle. Under the agreement with Nationwide, Forest Park will have possession of the bait car for three years with the option to extend the agreement. Police will have to provide quarterly reports with statistics on how of-

ten the bait car is used and how many arrests are made. Forest Park’s bait car will be the only such vehicle used in northern Illinois, Aftanas explained. “This is a big deal for Forest Park,” said Mayor Anthony Calderone, right before the village council unanimously agreed to enter into a vehicle use agreement with Nationwide at a regular meeting on May 29. Aftanas credited Lt. Ken Gross for suggesting that the department employ a bait car. While attending a training seminar two years ago, Gross learned that Nationwide had a reputation for assisting police departments, Aftanas explained. He said Gross sent a blind email in December to Nationwide officials, who responded within 24 hours. The Ohio-based insurance company later agreed to let the department use the bait car for free. Aftanas said the bait car will not be on the street for at least a few months, noting that the department is still not in possession of the vehicle and that the village mechanic still needs to install the electronics and other equipment, which have yet to be purchased.

ADAN MARTINEZ

Once in use, Aftanas said Forest Park will share the bait car with neighboring departments, primarily the eight communities belonging to the West Suburban Enhanced Drug/Gang Enforcement Task Force (WEDGE). Formed in 2006, WEDGE is comprised of police from Berwyn, Brookfield, Elmwood Park, Forest Park, North Riverside, Oak Park, River Forest and Riverside, and aims to jointly attack gang activity.

Forest Park Review, June 6, 2018

OPINION O U R

V I E W

Raising water rates

T

he vote last week by the Forest Park Village Council to raise the rates charged local residential and commercial clients for water was the right one, the inevitable one. By itself, the 1.5 percent increase is modest and a reflection of increased costs the village incurs from the city of Chicago. More importantly, the mayor and council seemingly signaled that all future hikes on water imposed by Chicago’s city government — the source of the Lake Michigan water we drink — will, more or less automatically, be passed on to local consumers. That’s a wise decision. The village has not increased water rates since 2015, a time period in which the city has been aggressively raising water costs. Makes no sense, especially when its own budget is so tight, for the village government to effectively subsidize the cost of water. More prudent is simply the habit of passing on the increases. As a nonhome rule community, Forest Park faces very real limits on its abilities to increase revenues. It cannot forego the low-hanging fruit. Further, like every older community, Forest Park has water and sewer infrastructure issues. Every water rate increase foregone by the village chips away at future funding of vital investments in our water and sewer systems. Forest Park continues to face a tough and chronic budget challenge. Pushing through fee increases, while annoying to taxpayers, is required action. And then the village needs some wins, such as the repopulation of the Forest Park Mall with the arrival of HOBO and Living Fresh Market. It will take some time to figure out — Mayor Anthony Calderone says three to five months — but those stores will prove to be steady contributors to the village coffers.

Baiting car thieves

Well, we say we like to encourage innovation in government and policing. So here’s one for you, courtesy of the Forest Park Police Department and, of all entities, Nationwide Insurance. With a goal of cutting the number of stolen cars — and carjackings are top of mind in the Near West suburbs these days — the insurance company will provide the village with a “bait car” for the next three years. What on earth is that, you say? Same question we had. Turns out to be a specially turned-out vehicle that is made to be “stolen.” Police place the car — make, model and color kept a secret — in places most likely to attract the interest of car thieves. But with an ignition system controlled by the cops, doors that can be remotely locked, and, of course, hidden audio and video to catch the perpetrators in action, the escape route will be hard to find. Forest Park police, facing a notable hike in stolen cars over the past year, went out looking for new tools. And this is an interesting one.

A

Reframing the term ‘conservative’

ttendance was down at the Poplar Park Community Church the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. It happened every year. That’s one reason Pastor Walt Mitty was surprised to see LaShaun Smith sitting next to his mother in the third pew from the front. Not only was it the day before Memorial Day but LaShaun had graduated from high school the day before. Mitty had assumed that his mother, Florence, would relax her rules a bit and let him sleep in, instead of dragging him to church with her as she did every Sunday. What surprised Mitty even more was that at the coffee hour in the social hall following worship, he saw LaShaun sit down in the empty chair next to Gerhardt “Asch” Aschenbrenner. “What’s that in your lapel, Mr. Aschenbrenner?” LaShaun asked. Pleased that a young man a quarter as old as he would take an interest in him, Asch responded with a warm smile. “It’s a poppy, LaShaun.” “A poppy?” “Yeah. When I was your age, we used to put American flags out on every grave of a veteran,” Asch said. “Everyone would buy poppies made by disabled veterans as a fundraiser, and as a way of remembering American soldiers who had died serving their country.” “Did a lot of people die?” LaShaun asked. “Didn’t they teach you that in your history class?” “Maybe they did, but I don’t remember.” Asch sighed and said, “Yes, LaShaun. A lot of people have died fighting for our country—600,000 in the Civil War; over 100,000 in World War I; and in World War II over 400,000.” “Serious?” “Serious. When I was a kid,” Asch continued, “almost everyone in town had a family member or a neighbor or a coworker who had been killed. We would have a parade down Main Street right here in Poplar Park with veterans proudly marching past the crowds on the sidewalk and every time an American flag would pass by—and there would dozens in the parade—people would put their hands on their hearts.” LaSchaun stared at Asch with his mouth open for a good 10 seconds until he finally said, “I never knew that. I mean, I might have read that in my history text book, but somehow it didn’t register. I thought that all of those politicians on TV who say ‘God bless America’ all the time and wear American flags in their lapels were just doing it so people would vote for them.” “That’s a problem, LaShaun. I may be cynical, but I just don’t think a lot of them are sincere,” Asch said. “John McCain, he is, but a lot of them are just saying patriotic things to get votes.” Pastor Walt Mitty kept thinking of that conversation between an old man 30 years older than he, and

a young man 30 years younger, over and over until he and his neighbor Michael Rosenthal decided to walk to the Starbucks on Main Street yesterday and indulge in a cappuccino. But when they got there the door was locked and a note taped to the door announced, “CLOSED FOR DIVERSITY TRAINING.” “Is today the day?” asked Michael. “I guess so,” answered Mitty and then he laughed, “Maybe Roseanne could have used some of that training.” So the two friends decided to walk over to Bernie Rolvaag’s History/Herstory book store and see what was new with him. When they walked in the door they found Bernie deep in conversation with Ehud Ahmadi. “Solving the world’s problems?” Mitty asked with a smile. Ehud responded in kind and explained, “I was just telling Bernie what it is like to keep Ramadan.” Bernie shook his head and said, “I can’t imagine going through a whole day without coffee.” Ehud smiled and said, “You get used to it after a couple days.” Then he got serious and added, “in the Quran, Allah commanded us to do it, so we do it. End of discussion. There’s no individual interpretation of what God meant.” Michael laughed and said, “That attitude would never get any traction in my synagogue. If 50 people are keeping shabbat at temple, you’ll have 50 interpretations of the Torah passage read that day.” For some reason Michael’s comment made Mitty think of the conversation between Asch and LaShaun two days earlier. After telling his three friends the story, he asked them, “What do you make of that?” Ehud was the first to respond. “You know that I love this country,” he began. “There is nowhere else that I would want to live, but I hope my children don’t get so Americanized that they lose their respect for authority and tradition. All of us in the Islamic community around here may have started keeping Ramadan because we had to, but the older we get the more we keep it because we see how it makes us better human beings.” Bernie, Michael and Mitty looked at each other and realized they were hearing a narrative they didn’t often hear. Their friend was talking about respect for tradition and authority, but without a hint of polarizing rancor. Their Muslim friend wasn’t trying to win and argument. He was just telling them where he was at. Ehud concluded by saying, “Recently, I’ve heard a lot of people talking about their rights, but not much about their duty.” “You know,” Michael said to his neighbor as they walked home, “Ehud made me think. The word “conservative” has been co-opted by people like Newt Gingrich, Steve Bannon and Donald Trump. But if Ehud is an example of a real conservative, I wouldn’t be ashamed of people accusing me of being one.”

As the director of Smith & Thomas Funeral Home in Maywood, Ilene Johnson has participated in countless funeral processions, and in every one she sees the same thing — motorists attempting to get past the long line of cars, so they don’t have to be held up. “I see the expression on people’s faces,” she said with a laugh, describing the exasperated looks some give when they know they have to wait for the procession. Some don’t wait, swerving around the line of vehicles or breaking into the procession, she said.

Forest Park Review, June 6, 2018 Continued from page 16 Group, said he keeps law enforcement officials apprised of potential high-risk funerals. A police presence can help reduce the potential for violence, he said at the meeting. “Generally when I’m coming through Oak Park, I’ll call Oak Park, I’ll call Forest Park and let them know we’re coming through. Most of the time Chicago [police] talks to them, but other times they haven’t,” he said. Pickett said he discourages families from directing the processions through areas where rival gang members might be present. Pickett said he recently had to tell a family that it wasn’t safe to run the procession through an area where their loved one was killed because of the potential for retaliation. “He got killed over there and they wanted to go back through there because he was from there,” he recalled, telling those at the roundtable that he rerouted the procession because he wanted to keep his staff and attendees safe. “If they go back through there and they get to shooting, you’re gonna get hurt,” he told the family. “Now we’re dealing with another service, so it’s better to take the ride on out to the cemetery.” Nhemya Ward, a funeral director and embalmer with the Johnson and Smith & Thomas funeral homes — all of which are owned by Mary Smith — said her operations also contact police when they know a highrisk funeral is expected. Cathlene Johnson said funeral directors often know if the burial is gang-related because of information they collect in the obituary and from social media. They sometimes find gang-related tattoos on the body of the deceased, she said. A gang shooting took place outside of the Johnson Funeral Home, 5838 W. Division St., on May 12, she noted. No one was injured in the shooting as family members and loved ones left the funeral home. Both Cathlene and Ilene were taken by surprise; it was the first shooting that’s ever taken place at the 10-year-old facility, they said. Cathlene said one of the problems with such processions is a lack of police presence and few consequences for dangerous behavior. She wants to warn those in the procession that their cars can be impounded for bad behavior, and she’s also encouraging police to enforce the law. “We don’t want it to go too far, but we want to let them know this is serious,” she said. “There’s some decorum that’s required here, and if you can’t follow the guidelines or the procedures, there’s consequences that can happen.” Ward said she’s concerned that law enforcement will take action against funeral homes by way of fines for dangerous funeral processions. “You’ve got to be careful with that because it starts off with fining the cemetery today, but then they’ll be looking to fine the funeral home, and then you’ll have a predicament where no funeral home would want a highrisk funeral, so now you have a family that can’t ... bury their loved ones,” she said.

Shedd Aquarium from page 1 angel fish to clams, hundreds of species, with different colors, patterns and rhythms.” “It’s a well-curated exhibit,” Lewellen said, “Like an art gallery.” How did a creature from this gallery end up in Forest Park? It began when a young woman walked into Healy’s and approached Mark Hosty about the project. “I didn’t know if she was serious,” Hosty said. “She said she was a scout for the Shedd. She was local, knew the building and thought the wall would be perfect.” Hosty contacted the Shedd to make sure the project was legitimate and agreed to have the wall painted. “I’ve always liked the Shedd Aquarium,” Hosty said. “It’s one of my favorite places to visit. I agreed to leave it up for six months. I’ll see if I still want it after that.” The mural campaign is the brainchild of Mogerman and her staff. They were looking for an innovative way to promote “Underwater Beauty.” “Art came to mind, so we reached out to Chicago artists to interpret the exhibit,” Mogerman said. “Local muralists came down to view the fish.” The Shedd commissioned murals to be painted in the neighborhoods of Edgewater,

He created a stylized image of “It was like a giant coloring book,” the shrimp, using a palette of 20 to 25 colors.

“It’s the first time the Shedd is doing this We wanted to reach out to various diverse communities.”

Lewellen said. “That’s how I met Anna, at the mural project.” They became life partners and are raising two sons. They also partner on projects like the one in Forest Park. Working on the Forest Park mural presented unique challenges, like incorporating the pub’s windows. “The bigger the mural, the simpler it has to be,” Lewellen said. “It has to be a quick read.” While he painted, motorists and pedestrians offered calls of encouragement. Lewellen believes these shout-outs demonstrate the power of public art. Lewellen first discovered this power while growing up in Wrigleyville, where he became part of the “graffiti/skateboard culture.” He was still a teen when he scored his first commission: painting the Sistine Chapel on the ceiling of a coffee shop. “I was still spray painting but getting paid for it,” he said. After high school, he studied at the American Academy of Art. He later worked in advertising as an illustrator, designer and art director. Today, he primarily focuses on studio work and murals. He is booked up for the summer with large-scale projects like a fivestory wall in West Town and a 1,200-squarefoot mural in Evanston. After 24 hours of spray-painting, Lewellen finished the Forest Park mural on June 3. For those who would like to view the real peacock mantis shrimp, the “Underwater Beauty” exhibit will run at the Shedd Aquarium until late 2019.

Nadeau’s rebrands from factory to ‘living piece of fun’ Ice castle mural is just the most recent change to 38-year business

By NONA TEPPER

W

Staff Reporter

ith a resume that includes work featured at the annual Zoo Lights in Lincoln Park; the Chicago Cubs World Series after-party at Navy Pier; and famed Chicago chef Rick Bayless’ face carved into a mold, there’s no denying that Nadeau’s Ice Sculpture is cool. But America’s oldest ice crafters are now angling to change from factory to gallery, with the addition of new signs, a mural and the remake of its back area into a more relaxing space. Nadeau’s also plans to install a garden and giant Styrofoam swan on the roof, as a nod to the orders that once flooded the 38-yearold business. “We’re just adapting with the times,” said owner Jim Nadeau. “Back in the day we’d do swans for 4,000 weddings in the summertime. Now a lot of brides are saying, ‘Well, I don’t want my mom’s ice carving.’” Founded in 1980, and moved to 7623 Roosevelt Road eight years later, Nadeau opened the business after leaving a highpowered career with the Marriott hotel chain. When he first started carving, he remembers using a hand chipper, and MAX BARAJAS knowing he was General Manager halfway through the block when his fingers started to bleed. The business has since upgraded to CNC machines — nicknamed “The OG” and “Bulldog,” respectively — which trim the company’s 300-pound, 40-inch blocks of homemade ice to exacting standards. General Manager Max Barajas estimates it takes about five days for designers to complete the ice portraits, luges and Roman columns that have recently become popular. “We’re finding it’s a really good time for ice sculpting; we’re finding that trades are coming back,” Barajas said. “Things that were lost are now kind of hip. I’m finding that millennials are starting to get into trends that are kind of dying out.” The rise of ice sculpting has presented an opportunity for Nadeau’s, which is trying to enter new markets with college students (think: drinking luges and beer pong tables), team-building events like bachelorette or corporate “drink and chips,” college tours of the factory, and more. Nadeau’s

ICE CASTLE: Artist David Wilinski stands next to the mural he painted on the wall facing East on Thursday, May 31, at Nadeau’s Ice House on Roosevelt Road in Forest Park. (Left) Jim Nadeau, owner of Nadeau’s Ice House, points to a group of photos showing the work his business has done in the past. (Below) Jim Nadeau clears out a block of ice so the lettering looks more transparent.

even installed a projector so it can host private movie screenings. Barajas said the only thing missing now is a snow cone machine. “The facility itself is so interesting, it’s been a hidden gem in Forest Park for so long,” he said. “People who are a block away are like, ‘I never knew what they did, but I always saw snow in the alley.’” As a way to raise awareness, Nadeau’s has integrated art into its industrial roots, with its newest addition being a 12-by-18-foot mu-

ral mounted to the side of the building on May 31. Designed and drawn by Chicago painter Daniel Wilinski, the painting features a detailed dreamscape of princesses, robots, ice castles and much, much more. Wilinski spent about five months returning to Nadeau’s every day to add details. The final product is intended to be intricate enough for admirers to take in like a museum piece while still catching drivers’ eyes. “It’s going to become a landmark with

everybody coming down Roosevelt Road,” Barajas said. “The business is becoming what we want it to be, which is a living place of fun.” CONTACT: ntepper@wjinc.com

Developing a Bigger Pie

“T

By CATHY YEN Executive Director

hat caye is a private island. Norwegian Cruise Lines purchased it to create their own exclusive port for their cruise ship passengers,” our tour guide said with contempt. It seems Belize wrestles with many of the same development debates I was hoping to escape for a few days as my family vacationed in this beautiful country on the coast of Central America. Desirable places attract increasing numbers of people. But more people requires more development to accommodate them. Supply and demand economics mean that as available supply dwindles, demand drives up cost and spurs development. Development and cost often have an uneasy relationship with the home team, as both inevitably impact the area.

How? Well that’s the question we face here as well. Viewed simplistically, my tour guide’s statement seemed ironic, as our small boat’s captain clearly earns his living from tourism even as he scoffs at a large investment from a leader in the tourism industry. Yet, we vigorously nodded our heads in agreement, even as we enjoyed our privileged vacation. How quickly we want to close the door behind us rather than leave it open for others to come through and share these opportunities. Belize has its beautiful coast, coral reef, Mayan ruins, mountains and jungle. We have our schools, housing stock and access to Chicago. These attractions will bring more people. Without development, the cost will go up such that all but the very wealthy can afford what is already here. However, development to increase density and make space for more people threatens amenities, culture, character and community when not done thoughtfully.

That caye that the cruise line purchased? The locals in the southern part of the country consider it a loss, but it alleviated crowding at ports in the north. And, after outcry from environmentalist activists, the project caused people to get more involved in government development activities, including zoning, permitting and environmental stewardship. The west side of Norwegian Cruise Line’s caye is now a manatee preserve, limiting boat traffic, noise and pollution while protecting this endangered species. An improvement. Development anywhere challenges us to increase the size of our pie without changing its flavor.
