Vol. VI No. 30 Maywood hires new manager, PAGE 2
East transformed into ‘Little Medical School’ for youth Young students gathered July 16 and July 23 inside Proviso East’s social room for workshops designed to simulate the medical experience By SHANEL ROMAIN Staff
About a dozen young people, ages 11 to 14, gathered inside of the Fred Hampton social room at Proviso East High School in Maywood July 23 to get a sense of what it’s like to study medicine. The young participants got real stethoscopes and learned about the human heart, skin, blood, digestion, disease and surgery techniques, among other things. The first “Little Medical School” was free for participants and sponsored by Maywood Safe Summer, a youth summer activities program started by Maywood Trustee Isiah Brandon.

July 23 event demonstrates how gardens can be solutions for endangered species, soothing for humans By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Recently, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classified migratory monarch butterflies as endangered and close to extinction. “So many people and organizations have come together to try and protect this butterfly and its habitats,” said Anna Walker, a member of an IUCN group that
focuses on butterfly and moth species. “From planting native milkweed and reducing pesticide use to supporting the protection of overwintering sites and contributing to community science, we all have a role to play in making sure this iconic insect makes a full recovery,” she said. Westchester resident Amy Chenski is playing her part. On July 23, Chenski was among eight homeowners to participate in the 4th Annual Westchester Garden Walk, which is hosted each year by the Westchester Garden Club. Proceeds from the event’s ticket sales benefit the Westchester Food Pantry. Chenski, who lives on the 1600 block of Hull Avenue, may have one of the most complex gardens in the village, replete with native plant species and perennials
that grow throughout the year. Importantly, Chenksi has plants like milkweed and coneflower, which attract butterflies and hummingbirds. She said, despite the recent news of their endangerment, there have been multiple sightings of monarchs “within the last week or two,” along with other butterfly species, such as yellow and black swallowtails. In fact, all eight of the gardens featured in this year’s Garden Walk might be considered sanctuaries for butterflies and other animal and insect species that are increasingly in need of natural ecosystems. In some gardens, nature intermingles with local history. That’s certainly the case with Bill Ernst’s garden on the 10000 block of Gladstone Street. See GARDEN WALK on page 5

Dyanla Rainey was murdered in the driveway of her Maywood home July 24.
Maywood board hires new acting manager, fires Wells-Armstrong
High school basketball standout killed in her Maywood driveway
The Maywood village board now has a new acting village manager after formally terminating Chassity Wells-Armstrong, roughly a year after she was hired. The board voted unanimously on Wells-Armstrong’s termination during a regular meeting held July 19. They also voted unanimously to appoint James Krischke to replace Maywood Police Chief Elijah Willis as interim manager. Willis had been serving in that role since Wells-Armstrong’s suspension. The board also voted unanimously to conduct a national search for a new permanent manager to replace Wells-Armstrong, a former one-term Kankakee mayor who was hired last year after Maywood Mayor Nathaniel George-Booker persuaded a board majority to hire the former mayor instead of launching a competitive search. Shortly after her hiring, though, the relationship between the mayor and his handpicked manager soured, with the latter accusing the former of creating a hostile work environment. Wells-Armstrong had been suspended since June 2, after the board learned the findings of a confidential investigation into
A high school basketball standout who played for legendary Marshall High School coach and Maywood resident Dorothy Gaters was fatally shot over the weekend. Dyanla Rainey, 22, was shot three times in the back on Sunday afternoon while in the driveway of her home on the 700 block of South 6th Avenue in Maywood, the Chicago Sun-Times and Cook County medical examiner’s office reported. “She was getting ready to get out of her car on the driveway on the side of the house and a man hopped out of a vehicle and shot a few rounds into her car,” Crystal Rainey, Dyanla’s sister-in-law, told the Sun-Times. “She was hit three times in her back.” The Sun-Times reported that Dyanla’s mother, Margo Rainey, “watched it happen.” Dyanla was rushed to Loyola University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 3:06 p.m., according to the medical examiner. Gaters, the Hall of Fame Marshall coach, told the Sun-Times that Rainey was one of her most memorable players, adding that Dyanla’s 20-point game in the 2018 state championship “stood out to Gaters.” The coach said Dyanla “had a sprained ankle a few days before the game and was having trouble breathing during it,” Gaters said. “I had to take her out but she came to me and wanted back in, said her team needed her. The next day when we were back in Chicago she went to the hospital with fluid in her lungs.” Maywood Police have not released any details about the murder. The Sun-Times reported that Dyanla had recently moved to Maywood with her twin sister Miyanda and the two “were ready to expand their successful daycare.”
Maywood’s new acting village manager, James Krischke. Wells-Armstrong’s claims. The board had been scheduled to terminate Wells-Armstrong and hire an acting manager at its meeting on June 21, but the decisions were put on hold. The report released after the investigation, which was conducted by Carol Herschman, of Herschman Levison Hobfoll PLLC, ironically concluded that Wells-Armstrong was the source of workplace toxicity, not the mayor. In a separate matter, the village board voted 5-2 to reinstate Angela Smith, the former community development director who was terminated by Wells-Armstrong over the many board members’ objections. Smith was given 10 weeks’ back pay, as part of her reinstatement. According to his LinkedIn profile, Krischke was city administrator for Maryland Heights, Mo., from 2016 to 2020. Before that he served as city administrator for the city of Republic, Mo., for eight years and for the village of Hawthorn Woods, Ill., for two years before that point. He was also president of the village of Lake Zurich, Ill., from 1997 to 2005.
Bellwood Police tape off block for hours to help CPD with search
Former manager Chassity Wells-Armstrong.
Some residents of Bellwood were left wondering over the weekend what happened in the 400 block of South 23rd Avenue, which was taped off by law enforcement officials for several hours over the weekend. The red tape perimeter went up sometime Saturday. The tape didn’t come down until the next day, according to witnesses. Many suspected a fatal shooting. During an interview July 25, Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey said there were no injuries, fatalities or violence in the area.

NEWS briefs He said Bellwood Police were assisting the Chicago Police Department in carrying out a search warrant on a home on the block. “We blocked off the perimeter while they conducted their investigation,” Harvey said. “They were looking for a subject involved in an incident that happened in Chicago.” Harvey said that person of interest was not inside of the building,” Harvey added. “They never found the person, although there were some people at home during the incident. But, no shooting at all, no threats. This stemmed from an incident in Chicago the day before I believe and the person of interest may have had a Bellwood address.” There were no shooting fatalities in Bellwood listed by the Cook County medical examiner’s office. When contacted July 25, a spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department said he could not immediately comment on the Bellwood incident. Possibly more as this story develops.
Pritzker tests positive for COVID-19 SPRINGFIELD – Gov. JB Pritzker has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating at home, his office announced July 19, three days after he spoke at a gathering of Democrats in Tampa, Florida. Pritzker’s press office said he is experi-
encing mild symptoms and has received the anti-viral medication Paxlovid, a drug that received Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December for individuals at high risk to the effects of COVID-19. The drug, according to clinical trials, reduced by 89 percent the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19. It is manufactured by Pfizer. Pritzker is also vaccinated against the virus and has received two booster shots, according to his office. The governor tested positive during “routine” testing after he arrived home from Florida having had several close contacts with other COVID-19-positive individuals at the gathering of Democrats. Pritzker’s office said he will work from home and follow the current U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which call for at least five days of isolation after the positive COVID-19 test, regardless of vaccination status. “He urges all Illinoisans to continue following CDC guidance, utilize anti-viral treatments, and get all available boosters,” his office said in a statement.

State jobless rate falls to lowest point since start of pandemic The Illinois economy added 18,800 jobs during June as the unemployment rate fell to 4.5 percent, the lowest it has been since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. That is down one-tenth of a percentage point from May, and down two full percentage points from June 2021. Preliminary numbers released Thursday, July 21, by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Illinois Department of Employment Security showed the sectors with the biggest gains during June were leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, construction, and educational and health services. Slight declines were reported in the financial industry and the catch-all category “other services.” “With the statewide unemployment rate at its lowest since the onset of the pan-
demic, the data released (Thursday) is a further reflection of continued economic recovery and evidence of a strengthening Illinois labor market,” Deputy Governor Andy Manar said in a statement. Prior to the pandemic, Illinois had seen its lowest unemployment rate ever, at 3.5 percent in December 2019. It climbed to 4.9 percent in March 2020, when the World Health Organization declared a pandemic existed, and reached a historic high of 17.4 percent in April 2020 after restaurants, bars, theaters and other “nonessential” businesses were ordered to close in an effort to contain the spread of the virus. The state’s jobless rate has since been on a continuous downward trend as businesses gradually reopened.

State Police announce new rules for FOID card recipients Agency to start using broader ‘Clear and present danger’ definition By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois
The Illinois State Police announced Monday, July 18, they will start using a broader definition of what constitutes a “clear and present danger” when reviewing a person’s Firearm Owners Identification card. That’s a factor ISP considers when deciding whether to grant someone a FOID card or to revoke or suspend a card that has already been issued. The change is meant to address gaps in the process that were identified in the wake of the July 4 mass shooting in Highland Park. The alleged shooter in that case had been the subject of a clear and present danger investigation, but under standards used at that time, ISP determined there was insufficient evidence to support such a determination. Under current law, known as the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, ISP can deny a FOID card application or suspend or revoke an existing card for any person deemed to be a clear and present danger of harming themselves or someone else. Under that statute, a physician, clinical psychologist or other qualified examiner can classify someone as a clear and present danger if he or she “communicates a serious threat of physical violence against a reasonably identifiable victim or poses a clear and imminent risk of serious physical injury to himself, herself, or another person.” A person can also be classified as a clear and present danger if they demonstrate “threatening physical or verbal behavior such as violent, suicidal, or assaultive threats, actions or other behavior, as determined by a physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner, school administrator, or law enforcement official.” That law requires physicians, clinical psychologists, law enforcement officers and school administrators to promptly report any such behavior to ISP. In 2013, however, ISP filed administrative

rules that provide a stricter, more limiting definition. Those rules defined a clear and present danger as someone who poses “an actual, impending, or imminent threat of substantial bodily harm to themselves or another person that is articulable and significant or who will be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety or contrary to the public interest if they were granted access to a weapon.” ISP said the new rules announced Monday will revert to the original, statutory definition, allowing them to consider a broader range of information when determining whether someone poses a clear and present danger. The 2013 rule also prohibited ISP from maintaining report records of people who are not determined to be a clear and present danger. The new rules would require ISP to maintain those records. ISP adopted the new definitions through what are known as “emergency rules.” That’s allowed under state law when an agency determines it needs to take swift action to protect public interest, safety or welfare. But those rules are still subject to review by the General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, or JCAR, whose next scheduled meeting is Aug. 17. ISP said it also plans to submit the changes to JCAR in the form of permanent rules through the regular rulemaking process as well. CONTACT: michael@oakpark.com

Fiore Pizza and Bakery opens grab-and-go market
Mercato di Fiore in Forest Park brims with sweet treats and savory sandwiches By MELISSA ELSMO Forest Park Eats
The highly anticipated grocery annex, Mercato di Fiore, affiliated with Fiore Pizza and Bakery, 7407 Madison St., Forest Park, quietly opened to the public on July 9. The niche market, brought to life by Scott Harris Hospitality is situated on the east side of the building housing the pizza focused restaurant. The market embraces Old World tradition inside the bright modern space where a large communal table gives customers an opportunity to enjoy a meal onsite, but the counter service shop will undoubtedly appeal to consumers on the move. The market offers a daily selection of five made-to-order sandwiches including marinated eggplant, caprese and tuna offerings. The traditional Italian sandwich features
mortadella, capicola and salami with traditional trimmings including provolone, lettuce, tomato and mayo. The Chicago style sandwich gets a hyperlocal twist, however, with the addition of Honey G, a craft giardiniera developed by Jeff Mauro, River Forest resident and Food Network star. The addition of honey and agave in the peppery relish balances out the saltiness of the deli meats making a noteworthy difference on Fiore’s version of a traditional Italian sub. “I really think that Honey G makes our Italian sandwich special,” said Chef Jonathan Court. “That sweetness makes a difference.” Chef Erin Mooney oversees pastry production at Fiore and has brought an arsenal of chef-driven cookies, tarts and bars to the bakery case. Pay special attention to the buckwheat chocolate chip cookies – the grain imparts a nutty flavor while the addition of candied buckwheat groats on the exterior brings a burst of sweetness and intriguing texture to an otherwise traditional cookie. Folks are already raving about her frosted sugar cookies, s’mores bars and
blueberry cheesecake squares. Quiche by the slice as well as salads and fresh pasta are also sold by the pound from the case. A refrigerator along the north wall of the shop boasts a modest selection of assorted house-made pasta sauces as well as fresh produce like broccolini and asparagus.

GARDEN WALK Calming spaces from page 1 Ernst, who has lived in Westchester since 1985, is almost synonymous with care. The 87-year-old, nicknamed Mr. Westchester (the stretch of street where he lives is named after him) for his many civic roles once owned Ernst Tree Care and Landscaping, which was on Mannheim Road for years. Ernst’s skill and passion are on display around his home. The totem pole outside of his house, which is visible from Roosevelt Road, was crafted from an old Westchester telephone pole. A buggy from the 1890s holds flowers. There are two old light poles in his garden, two of which date to the 1920s. “These are original Westchester light posts from 1929,” he said. “They put them
Village Free Press | July 27, 2022 in and in the mid-1950s, they took them out and replaced them with new ones and I got three of them that they placed in an old pile. Then, I put stained glass in them.” The feature of the backyard is a calming pool that’s home to generations of goldfish, some of which are at least 6 years old. “I quit feeding them in October and don’t feed them again until March, and they just go into suspended animation in the bottom during the winter — don’t move, don’t go
to the bathroom, don’t eat,” Ernst said. “I shut off the water, but I float in a horse trough feeder in here that keeps an area open for oxygen.” Lawrence H.

ert McCormick, the former publishers of the Chicago Tribune. “The variety of flowers and the arrangements and the detail they have is really beautiful,” said Vaillancourt, referencing Amy and Jerry Chenski’s “Hummingbird Haven.” Beyond providing spaces for reflection and relaxation, the Westchester homeowners who maintain the garden also said they’re a way to establish a healthy habit. “It takes a lot of time,” Amy Chenksi said. “You know, in the summertime, I don’t go sit and watch TV. I come outside and putter. It’s not a bad thing.” A description in the Garden Walk’s brochure of “Hidden Escape,” the backyard garden of Michael and Joe on the 800 block of Manchester Avenue, states that Michael “calls time in their yard his therapy sessions. There may not be a better place for therapy than this.” CONTACT: michael@oakpark.com

LITTLE MEDICAL Preparing futures from page 1 Maywood resident Eileen Olivier identified the program and thought it would be a good idea to lure it to Maywood. Little Medical School is a national program that has a Chicago area branch. The program is designed to inspire “young minds by sharing our passion for learning, health and careers in medicine,” according to its website. “Through hands-on activities, role-play, and interactive demonstrations, children explore the exciting world of healthcare. All programs are written by experienced educators, board-certified physicians and trained healthcare professionals. Our classes are led by trained Little Medical School Instructors.” Olivier said she’s always looking for medical programs for her two sons. She contacted Shaun Willis, the president of Little Medical School-Chicago West, and he agreed to bring the program to East. “Trustee Brandon helped us secure a location and funding and Loyola Medicine funded the program, which allowed us to offer it for free to the students,” Olivier said. “These students are so engaged and interested,” she said. “They come up with questions and are interested in science. We want to go into biochemistry and study medical science.”
Barbara Cole, the founder of Maywood Youth Mentoring, helped facilitate and promote the two Little Medical School workshops, which were held July 16 and July 23. “We want to involve younger kids going forward,” Cole said. “The children here know so much that I was impressed with
the questions that they asked. We want to continue this and hopefully engage even more Loyola support.” Cole said Loyola has agreed to cover the costs, which run about $110 per student. She hopes even more funding flows to the program in the future.
Participants in the Little Medical School held at Proviso East High School in Maywood on July 16 and July 23 gather for a group photo inside the high school’s social room. Aspiring students learned medical equipment and a range of skills.

Jordyn Parker, 12, said his experience at Little Medical School was fun and that he met many new people. “My favorite thing that I saw under the microscope is probably the cobweb that we took from the wall, the leaf, and when we saw our fingers,” Parker said. “We’ve been learning about arteries and red and white blood cells. I want to be a doctor for people who have [Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder].” Mary-Grace Murray, a second-year medical student at Loyola Stritch School of Medicine, outlined the students’ lessons. “They’re looking at a bunch of different slides under the microscope, such as blood. They’ve learned the different components of blood, the red and white blood cells, plasma and platelets. And then we also looked at arteries and veins,” she said. “From there, they looked at the difference between the more muscular rigid arteries in the veins. Also we’ve been looking at cardiac and smooth muscles, the cardia of the stomach, small and large intestines, mainly of human samples. They learned all of these concepts in class last week and today they get to see it under the microscope.” After the second workshop finished, the students all received their ceremonial white coats — just like actual medical students.

‘Those days are behind us’
By MICHAEL ROMAIN Commentary
Last week, Kroger announced that it’s opening an 80,000-square-foot fulfillment center in Maywood, as part of its effort to establish a presence in the Chicago area, where it owns Mariano’s and Food 4 Less stores. Its Kroger brand stores are largely concentrated in central Illinois. The company announced it plans to hire up to 180 workers at the Maywood facility, which seemingly rivals Amazon in its advanced technology. The warehouse features “more than 1,000 bots” whizzing around “giant 3D grids, orchestrated by proprietary air-traffic control systems,” Kroger officials explained in a statement. Kroger is the largest grocery retailer in America, with (outside of its various subsidiaries) no brick-and-mortar presence in the country’s third-largest metropolis. Its Maywood warehouse will deliver to customers in this metropolis who order products from Kroger online. And such a critical plant (Kroger is calling it a “hub”) will only employ 180 people? I thought about this question in the context of the old American Can Company plant in Maywood, which once stretched 18 acres along St. Charles Road and employed, at any given point in its nearly century-long tenure in the village, between 1,000 and 4,500 people, according to the Chicago Tribune. The beer can producer left Maywood in 1975. When the last vestiges of the massive American Can plant were torn down in the 1990s, the two companies that occupied the land in its place — Cintas Corp., a multibillion-dollar uniform rental and supply company based in Cincinnati, and Aetna Plywood Inc., a lumber products distributor — employed a total of about 160 people by 2005, the Tribune reported at the time. It took lots of tax breaks to lure those two employers, but the jobs just aren’t the same. They don’t pay as well as the old, more plentiful ones, which means they don’t create downstream economies of small businesses where well-paid industrial workers can spend their hard-earned money. My longtime neighbor, Robert Scales, worked for American Can for nearly 30 years. He also served as a Maywood trustee in the 1970s. Scales told the Tribune what he’s told me in casual conversation. Back then, Maywood had two movie theaters and two grocery stores — a Jewel and an A&P. Now,
there are neither theaters nor grocers. Business professor Scott Galloway points out in his penetrating 2017 book, The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, MICHAEL ROMAIN Facebook, And Google, that in our current economy, it takes a lot fewer workers to get filthy rich. “While billions of people derive significant value from these firms [Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google] and their products, disturbingly few reap the economic benefits,” Galloway writes. “General Motors created economic value of approximately $231,000 per employee (market cap/workforce),” he adds. “This sounds impressive until you realize that Facebook has created an enterprise worth $250 million per employee … or almost a hundred times the value per employee of the organizational icon of the last century. Imagine the economic output of a G-10 economy, generated by the population of Manhattan’s Lower East Side.” In 1964, when AT&T was the country’s most valuable company, it was worth $267 billion in 2015 dollars and employed nearly 760,000 people, the media scholar Robert McChesney and the journalist John Nichols explain in their 2016 book, People Get Ready: The Fight Against A Jobless Economy And A Citizenless Democracy. In 2015, Google was the country’s second-most valuable company “doing much of what AT&T did fifty years earlier, and a lot, lot more.” Google, though, had a “market value of $430 billion and employed around 55,000 people, which is 7 percent of AT&T’s paid workforce in 1964. For every Google employee today, AT&T had fourteen workers five decades ago.” From 1970 to 2017, manufacturing as a share of total employment has fallen from about a quarter of all workers in the United States to just under 10 percent — a diminishment that has happened across the industrialized world. What happened? The economic researcher Aaron Benanav provides what I think is a credible explanation. Benanav counters the widely held belief that artificial intelligence like the robots
whizzing around Kroger’s 3D grid and the practice of offshoring jobs to other countries have been mainly responsible for this disappearance of industrialized work. If anything, Benanav argues, they are symptoms of a deeper cause: Global competition (more firms in more countries saturating an increasingly integrated market with the same lower and lower-priced goods). Starting in the late 1960s, the rate of profit in the United States began to fall due to rising competition from firms in other countries that were catching up with the U.S. after World War II. The global competition led to a surplus of goods, or overcapacity, which meant lower margins. Lower margins meant less investment in capital, cuts to the cost of labor (which meant companies waging war with unions and chasing cheaper labor overseas), and increasing automation designed to discipline workers and eke out productivity rates in a world of increasingly diminishing returns. Rising overcapacity, the author writes in his 2020 book Automation and the Future of Work, “explains why deindustrialization has been accompanied not only by ongoing efforts to develop new labor-saving technologies, but also by the build-out of gigantic labor-intensive supply chains — usually with a more damaging environmental impact.” The process of deindustrialization might as well be synonymous with economic stagnation, Benanav writes. “When the growth engine of industrialization has sputtered due to the replication of technical capacities, international redundancy, and fierce competition for markets, there has been no replacement for it as a source of rapid growth,” he argues. “Instead of a reallocation of workers from low-productivity jobs to high-productivity ones, the reverse takes place. Workers pool in low-productivity jobs, mostly in the service sector. As countries have deindustrialized, they have also seen a massive buildup of financialized capital, chasing returns to the ownership of relatively liquid assets rather than investing long-term in new fixed capital.” To wit, about a decade after American Can closed its Maywood plant, it transformed into Primerica, a financial conglomerate that would set the groundwork for the creation of the investment bank Citigroup. You may remember Citigroup was one of the big banks responsible for

reckless mortgage lending that devastated Black and Brown communities like Maywood in the 2008 housing crash. There was nothing glamorous about factory work and most workers knew it. Lots of people hated the work — despite the pay and the perks. Capitalists were cruel as capitalists always have been. But looking back on those days of American Can a half-century later, it’s hard to deny that at least society (meaning the majority of people) got something out of the deal. Last year, my great-uncle died. He was around 80 years old. While we were cleaning out his Maywood home, I stumbled across his old American Can Co. employee manual. The booklet was among rumpled stacks of paper that included old Pan American Airways tickets to far-off destinations back when people could travel the world on a single blue-collar job that formed the basis of a life stitched into the fabric of a community — where the factory workers were also the village trustees, the deacons at your church, the coaches in local youth sports leagues. Back when you actually knew people who worked in the hulking warehouses in town. Nowadays, the buildings are just blank, impersonal behemoths. “Those days are behind us,” former Maywood mayor Henderson Yarbrough, referencing American Can, told the Chicago Tribune for that 2015 article. The big question now is what lies ahead. CONTACT: michael@oakpark.com
