Hancock to become a selective enrollment school
By Joe Boyle
Members of the administration and teachers at
John Hancock Preparatory High School were informed on Oct. 1 that the school may become a
test-in selective enrollment high school beginning
in the fall of 2015.
The state previously had provided Hancock
with $6 million over three years to revamp the
curriculum. The school has successfully completed that quota and that was certainly a factor in
it being selected as selective enrollment school,
according to Karen Boran, the Hancock principal.
Boran pointed to a comprehensive effort to
complete the three-year goal.
But some concerned parents wondered if their
children will no longer be able to attend Hancock, John Hancock High School may become a test-in
selective enrollment high school beginning in the

Kim, a native of South Korea, was known as Sister
Anna here.
Among the injured was
Sister Sharon Ann Walsh,
the newly appointed provincial leader of Little
Company of Mary order,
who was driving the car
the other nuns were in. She
was listed in stable condition earlier this week at
Christ Hospital.
In a statement released
on Monday, Dennis Reilly, president and CEO
of Little Company of

the LCM community as
“heartbroken.”
“There is no doubt that

Be aware of scams regarding tollway I-Pass
Hello Villagers!
I got an email recently from what I thought was the
Illinois Tollway I-Pass. It came from Team@hawickgro
with I-Pass in the subject line, and it stated that I did not
pay a toll. It had an attachment I was advised to download. My Norton virus security popped up to say “Do
Not Download.”
I went online and got the phone number for I-Pass
and called them, asking if I indeed missed a toll. The
clerk replied no. She said this is a scam. If it were true, I
would be contacted by postal mail, not email.
I do not own an I-Pass because I do not use the tollway that frequently. I pay the tolls in cash and receive a
receipt when I go through the toll gate.

Have you ever heard of the word jaywalk? Meaning JAY: an unintelligent person who does not know
enough to get out of the way of an oncoming automobile and walk. It means crossing a street anywhere
other than a designated crosswalk.
Some say the shape of the letter J defines the way a
jaywalker is going. It was first used in print in the Chicago Tribune in 1909. It may have come deliberately
from automakers who thought pedestrians on foot did
not belong on streets. Others think it originated in New
York, where people were too busy looking up at tall
buildings in awe to pay attention to where they were
walking and would just cross the street anywhere.
The buildings in Gage Park are not that tall or
breathtaking. Please pay attention to your surroundings and not your phone. Cross at the corner and not
in between cars anywhere you feel like it.
Visit openhousechicago.org and find out how you
can explore buildings in downtown Chicago you have
walked past and have wondered what they look like
on the inside.
Come out and get some fresh air. Gage Park, 2411
W. 55th St., will have its own Pumpkin Patch from
noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19. Bring the entire family for pony rides, food, games, arts and crafts, treats,

It looks like the Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine in

I haven’t heard anything about it, just noticed it when
driving by. That’s about the only thing on that corner
that has seen any progress for months. The building
on the former Talman Bank site looks like it is pretty
much at a standstill.

Durbin is one of the
most honorable people
in government service
In covering Chicagoland politics for nearly 40
years, I’ve met a lot of politicians and government
officials — mayors, congressmen, aldermen, county
commissioners and local trustees, and even a few
governors.
But one person stands high above them all. That’s
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin.
Durbin has always been a class act, one of the most
courteous and respectful officials I have ever met.
One problem with a lot of politicians is that they
can’t take the heat, so they go berserk with anger when
you criticize them or even when you don’t criticize
them but write something they don’t like. Most are
thin-skinned.
Durbin’s not like that. When I called him a few
years back and asked if he would come on my little
radio show at WJJG AM 1530, he did. I was shocked.
I’d invite governors, congressmen, aldermen, mayors
and more and they always shrug and decline, mainly
because the radio show was “community.” It wasn’t
big enough. It focused only on the Chicagoland
suburbs.
Durbin didn’t care. He remembered I had been a
City Hall reporter and, most of all, he recognized that
the people who listened to my show were everyday
citizens from neighborhoods and communities he
represented.
And when he was on the show, he made big news,
blasting the banking industry in the wake of the outrageous bailouts, and made a quote that put my little,
community radio show on the national scene.
Durbin had been doing something a lot of politicians tried and failed to do — reign in the banking
industry ­— and was trying to line up 60 votes in the
Senate to pass bankruptcy reform.
“And the banks — hard to believe in a time when
we’re facing a banking crisis that many of the banks
created — are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol
Hill,” he said. “And they frankly own the place.”
I won’t forget how Dick Durbin, a U.S. Senator
who could pick up the phone and get national correspondents such as Chris Matthews, George Stephanopoulos and Matt Lauer on the line, took a moment
to remember he doesn’t just represent the Washington
beltway clout and big shots and fat cats.
Durbin, a Democrat, is in a battle for re-election,
being challenged by Republican Jim Oberweis, who
honestly, I really don’t know very well.
But I do know Durbin. His campaign is focused on
telling voters why they should return him to the U.S.
Senate in the general election on Nov. 4.
Durbin has been in the Senate since 1997 where
he has been a consistent voice of moderation, reason
and common sense — characteristics that are not that
common in politics, but should be. In a political atmosphere where extremists continue to gain ground, a
centrist and moderate like Durbin becomes even more
important.
As the assistant majority leader, holding the second-ranking position among Senate Democrats,
Durbin is often viewed as a spokesman for the Democratic Party and is an agenda-setter on national and
international issues. Despite all that clout, Durbin is
still a grassroots guy.
He’s the kind of guy who, even if you disagree with
him, he’ll be respectful, but honest. You can have a
discussion with him about the issues and not get angry.
Instead, I’ll just say again, Dick Durbin deserves
re-election and should easily win. But it’s always good
not to take any election for granted.

Special Service Area 14 residents speak out
By Dermot Connolly
Residents had plenty of questions
for the newly reconstituted commission overseeing Marquette Park
Special Service Area 14 when the
commission met for the first time in
a year on Oct. 1.
Property owners in the special
service area, which encompasses
the area between Bell and Kedzie
avenues from 67th to 75th Street,
pay a property tax levy for private
security patrols that supplement
Chicago police coverage.
The tax levy has been set at .041
percent of equalized assessed valuation since the SSA was created
in the 1990s, and Ald. Lona Lane
(18th) rejected an attempt to raise it
to .045 percent when the new city
ordinance was being drawn up last
fall.
The city ordinance governing
SSA 14 expired at the end of 2013,
so the the seven-member volunteer
commission made up of residents
and business owners appointed by
the mayor had to be disbanded and
reformed, along with the SSA itself.
Four of the new commissioners were at the meeting, including
Stephanie Sherman-Ratliff and
Jonas Miglinas, who served on the
previous commission, and newcomers Brenda Justice and Patricia Nelson. Nelson was elected chairman
of the new commission.
“I am new to the commission but
not new to the neighborhood,” said
Nelson.
When audience members at the
meeting, held at Lithuanian Human
Services, 2711 W. 71st St., Chicago,
got loud and argumentative with
commissioners, Nelson reminded
them that they are residents and also
taxpayers.
Sister Dolorene Lopez, SSC, the
former chair, was reappointed to
the commission but was not at the
meeting. Commissioners Alice Polk
and Cynthia Young were also absent. Their absence was a concern
of some residents in attendance, but
Lithuanian Human Services officials noted that commissioners may
have had other obligations.
Responding to a question about
why it took so long to reform the
commission, Joe Polikaitis, president of the non-profit Lithuanian
Human Services contracted to be the
sole-service provider handling the
day to day business of the SSA, said,
“Apparently just negligence or oversight (on the part of a city official).”
He said he submitted commissioner applications and other necessary documents to the Department
of Planning by Feb. 15, but was
asked to resubmit some of the paperwork that apparently got lost.
The City Council approved the
commissioners in September.
Polikaitis said security patrols
continued despite not having a sitting commission, with the Depart-

ment of Planning and Development

He said the SSA has seen a
$160,000 drop in revenue this year
due to foreclosures. Therefore, security provider Illinois Homeland
Security was limited to “winter
hours,” rather than 24-hour summer hours. That means one car
patroling the area from 9 a.m. to
2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday,
and 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday and
Saturday.
Polikaitis noted that Lithuanian
Human Services had to take out a
$35,000 loan to keep the SSA going
earlier this year. That money has
since been paid back, when tax revenue came in, but he said the finances are still limited.
He said that as of Oct. 1, there is
$102,000 left in the SSA 14 bank
accounts, which has to last the rest
of the year.
“We can probably make it to the
end of the year,” he said.
When residents loudly questioned
why the commission voted on the
current budget without showing it to
the audience, commissioners said
they couldn’t afford to print copies
for everyone. Residents were encouraged to get copies from the Department of Planning and Development.
Some residents argued that they
should at least be given a synopsis of the budget. Commissioners

Suspect sought after child luring reported in Scottsdale
Chicago Police are searching for a male
suspect who reportedly tried to lure two
children by offering them money on Sunday
in Chicago’s Scottsdale neighborhood.
Police said that at about 7:10 p.m. a man
attempted to lure children ages 10 and 12
away by promising them money in the 7800
block of South Kilpatrick Avenue.
The offender was then observed by a par-
ent of the children and neighbors. The offender then fled on foot after the parent and
neighbors began to chase him.
Police said the offender was last seen in
the area of 79th Street and Kolmar Avenue.
The offender is described as being a male
black, 25 to 30 years old, 5’8 to 6’0, 150 to
160 pounds with a slender build.
Witnesses said he had short black hair and
a dark complexion. Police said he was last
seen wearing a black shirt with a white logo.
Police warn residents to be aware of their
surroundings and alert neighbors about the
above incident.
Call 911 to report any suspicious persons,
vehicles or activity in the neighborhood, police said.
Do not let children walk or play alone.
Identify safe havens along a child’s route to
school and home, such as businesses or trusted neighbors.
Police also encouraged residents to find
out how to start a Parent Patrol or Walking
School Bus Program at a child’s school.
Anyone with information about this incident can contact the Area Central Bureau of
Detectives, (312) 747-8380.

A man pretending to be interested in a car for
sale hijacked the car in the 3400 block of West
Columbus Drive at 11:15 a.m. Sept. 30.
The 27-year-old victim said the offender asked
about the price of his father’s maroon 1986 Pontiac
Parisienne parked at that location. He then asked if
the $2,000 car ran, and when the victim started it,
the offender pulled him away and drove off, heading southbound on Kedzie.

He put on a pair of shoes taken from a display, left
his own shoes behind, and put three watches from another display into his pocket before walking to the door,
where he was stopped, police said.
Stevenson is due in court on Oct 29.
Burglars flee when homeowner arrives
A man found three burglars inside his apartment in
the 9500 block of South Cook Avenue when he returned
home at 2 p.m. Sept. 30.
The homeowner said when he tried to open his door,
a man pushing against it from the inside asked him who
he was. He was allowed in when he said he lived there.
One offender held him against a wall briefly, saying,
“Don’t worry about it” before fleeing down the back
stairs with two other men. The apartment had been
ransacked and missing items included a $7,500 gold
ring with diamonds, a portable sound bar and $500 in
change were missing.
Building surveillance video showed that one of the
men got into the building when a cleaning crew left the
front door propped open, and he let the others in. They
fled in a black, dented 4-door vehicle.
All three were described as black, 30 to 35 years
old, and 6-foot-1 to 6-foot-2. One was bald, heavyset,
wearing a beige zip-up jacket and white gym shoes. The
second wore a beige checkered button-up shirt, dark
gray pants and a Yankees cap. The third wore a blue
zip- up jacket, white high-top gym shoes and blue jeans.
Man with marijuana faces drug charges
Kyle Randall Hayes, 19, of the 9500 block of South
Minnick Avenue, was charged with possession of 2.5-10
grams of cannabis when he was found acting suspiciously in the driver seat of a car in the 4800 block of
West 91st Street.
Police said there had been complaints of drug activity in the area, and they smelled marijuana smoke
coming from the vehicle. A partially smoked marijuana
“blunt” was found in the car, along with 10 small bags
of marijuana in a jar, police said.
Hayes was also charged with possession of cannabis
with intent to deliver, and is due in court on Oct. 29.
His passenger was released without charge.
Police report information is provided by law enforcement agencies. Charges are not evidence of guilt.
They are a record of police actions taken, and persons
charged with a crime are presumed innocent until
proved guilty in court.
Oak Lawn man is charged with stealing property from garage
An Oak Lawn man was arrested and charged with stealing property from a garage in the village.
Matthew J. Dearman, 46, of
the 9900 block of South Melvina Avenue, was arrested on
Sept. 29 by tactical detectives
and Oak Lawn Police.
At about 4:17 p.m., police
said that tactical until detectives observed Dearman walk-
ing up a driveway in the 9700
block of South Natoma Avenue
without anything in his hands.
A short time later, Dearman
was observed leaving the driveway from the garage area on a
bicycle and carrying a bag, which
he did not have before, police said.
Tactical detectives attempted
to speak with Dearman, who
then dropped the items and fled
on foot, according to police.
Dearman reportedly fled in the
direction of some surrounding
yards.
Oak Lawn patrol officers and
tactical detectives then set up a
perimeter and began to search
neighboring yards.
Dearman, according to police, was found in some bushes
in a backyard nearby.
The homeowner later identified the items in the bag, which
included numerous tools. The
homeowner said the tools were
taken from his garage.
After reviewing the case, the
Cook County State’s Attorney’s
Office approved one count of
burglary against Dearman.
Bond was set at $50,000 on
Sept. 30.

Selective enrollment
at Hancock has merit
Chicago’s Southwest Side often has been short-changed
when it comes to specific services for its residents. I don’t
know what it is. Maybe because this section of the city
is tucked into the southwest corner, it becomes an afterthought downtown.
However, Southwest Side residents do vote, and that
should matter. At least it should matter to Chicago Mayor
Rahm Emanuel, who has an election coming up in February.
No doubt it played a role in Hancock College Preparatory High School, 4034 W. 56th St., Chicago, being selected
Oct. 1 as a competitive selective enrollment high school.
Emanuel has made some rare missteps over the past
few months. His intentions of having a charter school built
with President Obama’s name on it may have received
some support. However, the school being located on the
city’s North Side had politicians, local leaders and residents of the South Side up in arms. Many African-Americans looked at the suggestion as an insult.
How could the mayor name a high school after the nation’s first black president and have it located on the North
Side? The South Side should at least have been considered
with many of its neighborhoods having predominately large black populations. Needless to say, the mayor
scrapped that plan.
Plans for another selective enrollment school up north
and an expanding Walter Payton College Prep left South
Side and Southwest Side residents wondering if they
matter.
I’ve been in the newspaper business a long time, so I’m
skeptical when these proposals are introduced. However, selecting Hancock High School has merit. The state
had already provided the school with $6 million over a
three-year period to boost the curriculum. The school has
excelled in that category, which played a major role in it
becoming a selective enrollment school.
According to Chicago Public Schools, the majority of
the students at Hancock are from the immediate neighborhood. Nearly 95 percent of the students are Hispanic and
97 percent are from low-income homes. With a selective
enrollment high school beginning in 2015, will some of
these students be passed over?
Current students at Hancock will be allowed to attend
the school through graduation. But beginning next year,
incoming freshman students will be tested and graded.
However, as stated in a story that appears in this edition,
105 students from the neighborhood will be given priority.
The other 105 students will come from neighborhoods
throughout the Southwest Side.
While these neighborhood students will have to perform
well academically, Chicago Ald. Marty Quinn (13th) said
in the story about Hancock this week that it should not be
a problem. Students in the neighborhood have met those
challenges, he said.
Of course, it does not hurt to have House Speaker
Michael Madigan (D-22d) in support of the plan. He is
also the 13th Ward Democratic Committeeman. Madigan
said meetings had been set up with community leaders and
parents for the past year in an effort to “make this quality
education opportunity available to families.”
If those opportunities are not met, then some of these
residents may move to the suburbs. Quinn was concerned
about that, which is why he became frustrated when selective enrollment schools were all ending up north.
I think this can work as long as the needs of the immediate neighborhood are considered. Selecting Hancock has
it advantages. The new programs at the school will involve
about $10 million in capital improvements, which will be
funded by the state. Those funds can go for education and
much-needed repairs at the school.
Hancock is the former site of Lourdes High School,
which closed its doors in June of 2001. The school was
run by the Sisters of St. Joseph, Third Order of St. Francis.
Even Hancock High School had its origins in Scottsdale,
as part of the Stevenson School campus.
The fact that Hancock already exists will save some
money. I think we are ready for a selective enrollment high
school. This is no time to be short-changed.

Local leaders laud Pulaski development
By Dermot Connolly
Archer Heights neighborhood representatives and
elected officials including Ald. Ed Burke (14th) and
Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) expressed joy at the Oct.
1 groundbreaking of the Pulaski Promenade, a $31.9
million retail center being built on the former site of a
cardboard factory at 42nd and Pulaski Road.
The long-awaited development, scheduled to be completed next year, will include major retail stores such as
Marshalls, Michael’s, PetSmart and Shoe Carnival on
the 12-acre site on the west side of Pulaski Road, which
has been vacant for about 10 years.
“It has been vacant for far too long,” said Thomas
Baliga, president of the Archer Heights Civic Association.
“We have been after the city and the developers to
complete the deal for a long time,” said Baliga, noting
that the site is a prime piece of real estate, one of the
largest parcels in the neighborhood. “We are thrilled
that it is finally going ahead. It is going to be a great
renaissance for Archer Heights ... There is a lot of good
development going on here.”
Lipinski recalled passing the site for many years on
the 99 CTA bus heading downtown, and said “it is wonderful to see the new development take place.”
“It is a great victory for the people who live in this
area. Today we are seeing a rise in the community here.
It is a great day for Archer Heights,” said Lipinski, as-

serting that in addition to new jobs created at the retail
hub, surrounding businesses should profit from the influx of shoppers.
“It will bring people into the area,” he said.
Ald. Burke, who was there with his wife, Illinois
Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke, said that about 110
construction workers are going to be employed on the
site over the next year. Then several hundred permanent
jobs will be created at the retail development.
“This is what Mayor Emanuel has been trying to do
across Chicago, put people back to work,” he said.
He credited the state Legislature, including his brother, state Rep. Dan Burke (D-1st), and state Sen. Martin
Sandoval (D-11th), who were present, with approving the
expansion of an existing TIF district to include the site,
one of the steps that made the development possible.
Andrew Mooney, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Planning and Development, said that about
$8 million in TIF money is going into the project.
“We believe this is a great use of tax money,” he said.
“We’re just delighted to get this project off the ground.
It is highly symbolic of what is going on in neighborhoods throughout the city,” said Mooney, who was there
representing the mayor at the groundbreaking.
“We’ve worked very hard over the last six years to make
sure that this happened,” said Gary A. Pachucki, president
of the IBT Group of developers in charge of the project.
He thanked original owner Roger Keaton for agreeing to sell the property, and recalled a host of difficulties that had to be worked through to get to this point.
“Believe me, it was on life support (at one time). If
there was an emergency room for real estate development, it would have been there,” agreed Ald. Burke. Burke noted that the development is within sight of
Interstate 55, which was built along the Illinois & Michigan Canal right-of-way, which spurred economic development in the city in its early days.
“In a certain sense, today we have the opportunity to
share this day with visionaries like the people who built
the I&M Canal,” he said.
“The Pulaski Promenade project will boost the local
economy here on the Southwest Side, create jobs for
local residents, as well as competitive pricing for clothing and shoes for the working families of the Southwest
Side,” Sandoval said.

Character, judgment
count: Why Bernanke’s
story matters
Ben S. Bernanke said the mortgage market is so tight that
even he is having a hard time refinancing his own home loan.
The recently retired Federal Reserve chairman, speaking
last Thursday at a conference in Chicago, told moderator Mark
Zandi of Moody’s Analytics Inc. — “just between the two of
us” — that “I recently tried to refinance my mortgage and I
was unsuccessful in doing so.”
When the audience laughed, Bernanke said, “I’m not making that up.”
“I think it’s entirely possible” that lenders “may have gone a
little bit too far on mortgage credit conditions,” he said.
This newspaper concurs. One of the unforeseen consequences of a regulatory surge that followed the Great Recession has been the forced abdication of common sense in some
lending rules in the years that have followed.
When one takes “judgment of character” and “lender discretion” out of a banker’s lending practices and replaces them with
inflexible rules about a borrower’s employment history, credit
scores and current income levels, then even an individual of
Bernanke’s stature can get shut out of the credit markets.
Never mind that Bernanke’s knowledge of the 1930s and
courage under pressure during the Great Recession of the 2007
helped to avert a Great Depression.
Never mind that Bernanke was hired by a conservative
Republican president and rehired by a liberal Democratic
president because of his unique understanding of American
monetary history.
Never mind that, thanks, in part, to Bernanke, the American
economy today is the envy of the world, as unemployment
in September dipped below 6 percent for the first time in six
years. You can’t put any of that that on a loan application. And
that, in our view, has adverse consequences for the economy
as a whole.
Under the rules of the current lending game that Bernanke
himself helped to usher in, the former chairman of the Federal
Reserve Board is classified as a retired economics professor
from Princeton University and a former civil servant who
earns a middle class wage at a Washington, D.C., think tank,
the Brookings Institution.
That’s hardly the whole story. Bernanke can and does command six-figure fees for public speaking. However, in the current world of banking regulations those fees do not count until
he pays federal income taxes on them. The same goes for the
book fees or fees collected from serving on corporate boards.
Bernanke, addressing a conference of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing and Care in Chicago, said
that the first-time home-buyer market is “not what it should
be” as the economy in general strengthens.
“The housing area is one area where regulation has not yet
got it right,” Bernanke said. “I think the tightness of mortgage
credit, lending is still probably excessive.”
When Bernanke and his wife Anna bought their Capitol Hill
row house in May 2004, they took out two loans, according to
Washington, D.C., land records.
The first was an adjustable-rate mortgage of $671,200 with
a starting rate of 4.125 percent. The 5-year ARM was capped at
10.125 percent. The second was a fixed-rate loan of $83,900.
They refinanced the property in October 2009, after the ARM
was scheduled to start adjusting, taking out a 30-year, fixed-rate
mortgage of $685,385 and paying off both earlier loans.
They refinanced again on Sept. 26, 2011, taking out a
$672,000, 30-year, fixed-rate loan. When Bernanke tried again
recently, he was shut down.
We suspect there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Americans who earn middle-class wages (without the
prospect of speaking fees) and are very reasonable credit risks,
even if they do not score that way, in a particular moment in
time. These Americans may be on the verge of starting their
own successful businesses, or they may collect large pensions
in decades ahead. Finally, they may have affluent family members who will die.
With the American economy roaring back thanks, in part,
to expansionary monetary policies pursued under Bernanke’s
reign at the Fed, it’s high time that lenders be given more
discretion to judge the character and credit worthiness of their
would-be customers.
Letters to the Editor
Police should wear body cameras
to lessen possibility of abuse
The shooting of unarmed teen, Michael Brown, has
sparked a national discussion about police brutality,
excessive force, and police accountability. According
to a new USA Today/PEW Research Center Survey,
2 out of 3 Americans say officers don’t do a good
job when it comes to using the right amount of force,
fair treatment, and accountability. Many are debating whether or not police should be required to wear
body cameras to audio and video record interactions
between officers and civilians.
The benefits of police body cameras are two-fold.
Body cameras could deter the abuse of police power.
Officers and citizens may feel more secure knowing
the camera will protect them against false accusations.
Numerous amateur videos of police brutality
have gone viral. A couple of months ago a video
was posted showing New York Police Department
officers placing Eric Garner in a chokehold. Garner,
an African American man accused of illegally selling
cigarettes, yelled, “I can’t breathe.” He died soon after
this incident. The medical examiner ruled the cause
of death a homicide.
Last month Chris Lollie, from St. Paul, Minn.,
posted a video on Youtube of an altercation he had
with police in January. Lollie claimed he was sitting
on a public bench waiting for his children when police arrived and tasered him.
In the video you can hear Lollie calmly speaking
to a female officer. He explained he was sitting on a
public bench waiting for his children. The situation
quickly escalated when a male officer arrived and
demanded Lollie put his hands behind his back. The
male officer then told Lollie he was going to jail.
You can hear Lollie trying to deescalate the situation
before screaming in pain from being tasered.
Though most officers do not abuse their power,
what redress do citizens have for the ones that do?
The imbalance of power and credibility is vast when
the only evidence available is the word of the accused
versus the word of the officer. Fear of retaliation or
imprisonment may prevent citizens from filing formal
complaints. As mistrust and dissent for the police
grows, more citizens are using their smart phone
cameras to film interactions with the police as a
means to protect themselves.
Police body cameras can serve as a tool that is
both pro-citizen and pro-police. In Rialto, Calif.,
police reported a 60 percent reduction in use-offorce incidents and an 88 percent reduction in citizen
complaints against police after launching their body
camera pilot program in 2012.
“When you put a camera on a police officer, they
tend to behave a little better, follow the rules a little
better,” Rialto Police Chief William A. Farrar said
to the New York Times. “And if a citizen knows the
officer is wearing a camera, chances are the citizen
will behave a little better.”
According to criminologist Jeremy Bamidele, “Police body cameras would help heal the divide between
communities that are especially prone to abuses of
power and police. It would increase transparency and
consequently faith in judicial processes.”
In Ohio, Major Joseph Manning of the Bluffton
Police Department told the Island Packet that an officer’s body camera helped prove his innocence after a
citizen filed a complaint of police misconduct. A driver claimed the officer brandished his weapon when he
was pulled over; however, the body camera footage
debunked the driver’s story and the driver apologized.
For weeks rioters took to the streets to protest the
police shooting of Michael Brown, and advocates
across the nation have called for something to be
done about police accountability. Are police body
cameras the end all answer? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, it would be a good place to start.

Higher power needed to deal with city violence
Our city of Chicago is in dire need of a solution to
the senseless killing of innocent people.
I propose a Prayer Power Play Challenge for enlightenment and guidance in solving this issue of violence.
Prayer is very powerful. Do not underestimate it.
Churches were overflowing with people following the
9/11 attack, and kindness reigned throughout the country.
Jesus always listens to a heartfelt plea for His help.
How do we start? First, we have to make a commitment to this endeavor. You do not need a formal prayer
just an open dialogue with Him. Encourage your family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and even someone on
the street to pray for His help.
Stop in a church and offer up your day as a prayer.
Write a note and leave it for others to see. Don’t feel
awkward. We are on a mission to seek help.
Did those who took the ice water bucket feel silly?
Maybe, but they did it to help those suffering with ALS.
I am just someone who has a concern for others to
live safely and enjoy their neighborhood. Are we not a
nation dedicated to erasing injustice? Do you want to
do something that just takes a little time and may be a
catalyst for a positive change in someone’s life?
I hope you do. Miracles happen every day even if we do
not recognize them. The solution may not come overnight
but Jesus will not ignore our call to Him or put us on hold.
Thanks for listening. God Bless.

Tavern on LaGrange owner fulfills his dream
Former Bridgeview resident
says Countryside establishment
offers nightlife and great food
It was always a dream of Jim
Arce to run his own tavern and
restaurant.
That dream was realized
with the opening of Tavern on
LaGrange, 5403 S. LaGrange
Road, Countryside, in March of
2010.
The lounge has become a
popular location with a variety
of activities offered, along with
socializing.
“I built this from the ground
up,” said Arce, who grew up in
Bridgeview.
The main floor of the building
offers ample seating and room
to socialize. The first floor also
features live entertainment and
big screen TVs. DJs are also often on hand on the weekends.
The Tavern on LaGrange also
offers a basement area in which
visitors can play a game of bags.
The tavern and restaurant
opens each day at 7 a.m. While
Arce is proud of the entertainment and nightlife his establishment offers, he reminds everyone that they offer excellent
food.
“We are open for breakfast
every day,” he said. “We have
great chefs and they make excellent food. The Tavern Chicken is
our signature dish.”
Arce has 20 employees who
work at Tavern on LaGrange.
One of the employees is his
wife, Maria.
A breakfast buffet for $8 is
held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Sundays. Large parties are welcome.
Video gaming is also offered
at Tavern on LaGrange.
Arce has been a resident of
Countryside since 1995. He is
a member of the Countryside
Business Association.
Meeting people and providing
a clean place for adults to gather
with family and friends is what
Arce enjoys most about the job.
The Tavern on LaGrange also
appeals to followers of social
media. On “Two for Tuesday,”
patrons can have two-for-one
drinks and appetizers if they
text “tavern” to 54900 for the
deal.
Arce said that he is proud to
have a lounge that draws a lot
of people along with the great
food.
He does have some advice for
someone who would like to get
into the business.
“Be prepared to work long
hours.” he said.

Work begins on Central Avenue intersection
Preckwinkle says repairs are needed for children’s safety at St. Gerald School
By Joe Boyle
The long-awaited intersection improvements at Central Avenue and Southwest Highway in Oak Lawn has
now begun.
A groundbreaking ceremony took place on Oct. 2 in
the parking lot of St. Gerald Elementary School, 9320 S.
55th Court, which is adjacent to the intersection.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle joined
Cook County Commissioner John Daley at the ceremony.
“This corner was a tragedy waiting to happen,” said
Preckwinkle.
More than 100 crashes have been reported at the heavily traveled intersection during the past decade. Cook
County, at the urging of Daley, will cover the $1.6 million in intersection improvements, Preckwinkle said.
With the intersection adjacent to St. Gerald School, it is
used by hundreds of school children and their parents daily.
The intersection also includes an existing Pace bus
route that serves students from Queen of Peace and St.
Laurence high schools in nearby Burbank.
Also on hand for the ceremony were Oak Lawn Mayor
Sandra Bury, Oak Lawn Trustees Tim Desmond (1st), Alex
Olejniczak (2nd), Bob Streit (3rd) and Village Manager Larry
Deetjen. Village Clerk Jane Quinlan was also in attendance.
State Sen. Bill Cunningham (D-18th) and state Rep.
Kelly Burke (D-36th), whose districts take in portions of
Oak Lawn, were also in attendance.
The Rev. Lawrence Malcom, pastor of St. Gerald Parish, gave a blessing. Al Theis, the St. Gerald principal,
also spoke at the ceremony.
“We agree with Commissioner Daley and President
Bury that keeping children safe and preventing more accidents are priorities for the county, and that without our
involvement, this much-needed project would continue
to be delayed,” said Preckwinkle. “We are pleased that
due to action of the County Board, work on these important improvements can now proceed.”
The project became a reality after seven years of dis-

The project provides the addition of a left turn lane on
Central Avenue and Southwest Highway by widening the
existing pavement to the east.
Other aspects to the project include curb and gutter removal and replacement, and drainage improvements and
adjustments. Traffic signal modifications are included in
the project, along with sidewalk repairs and landscaping.
“Improvements at this intersection were long overdue,” Daley said.
Daley also thanked Bury, Deetjen, Quinlan and the Oak
Lawn trustees for their efforts. Olejniczak, whose district includes the Central Avenue intersection, had been persistent in
trying to get the safety improvements made at the intersection.
“Don’t give up on something that is important,” said
Olejniczak. “I put in a call to Commissioner Daley and
he said, ‘how can I help you.’ It’s been seven years in the
making. It’s a great day for Oak Lawn.”
Throughout the length of the project staging, traffic
will be reduced to one lane in each direction on both
Central Avenue and Southwest Highway. Left turn lanes
will be maintained.
Motorists can expect delays while the project is being worked on. Depending on the weather, the project is
scheduled to be completed by the beginning of winter.

A variety of activities and lessons were offered to students at St. Symphorosa Elementary School, 6125 S. Austin Ave., Chicago, to begin the school year in September.
The September theme in pre-kindergarten was “All
About Me.” In Happily Ever After, the class read “Little
Red Riding Hood” and learned the concepts of underlining
and matching. In ZooPhonics, the children worked on the
letters Aa and Bb. Measuring is being covered in Math
class and the class measured themselves using teddy bears,
ribbons and rulers. They are also learning about shapes.
Science class involves understanding how fingerprints, eyes, skin and hair color makes everyone unique.
In Social Studies, the focus was on school rules as well
as the jobs of families, and discussing what the students
might want to be when they grow up.
The kindergarteners are also in full swing. The children have been learning about God’s beautiful creation.
They learned about light and water by playing “I Spy” and
painting water masterpieces in the parking lot. (They also
noticed the water cycle taking place as they watched their
painting evaporate). The SuperKids Reading Program has
introduced the students to three wonderful “Superkids”
that have begun teaching three new sounds. In Math, the
children sorted many things by color, shape, and size.
In second grade, the “Dino Mite” readers received
certificates for reading 10 books over the summer. The
children mailed invitations to their grandparents to
celebrate Grandparents’ Day at the 9:30 a.m. Mass in
September. Their SuperKid Program is exposing the
class to the “Super” Magazine and chapter books.
Over in fourth grade, the class has been studying
the Beatitudes and examining the choices they make
in their everyday lives. Family customs and culture
were discussed in Social Studies as well as a general
introduction into our government and the rights and
responsibilities of all U.S. citizens.

Stationery store had
long run in Chicago Lawn
Last week, in thinking about the
evolution of stationery stores and the
many that have called Chicago Lawn
their home, I left you with the following question:
Which stationery store was in business the longest here? The hints were:
It was opened in 1923 on the corner of
63rd and Spaulding by its founder, Al
Connors. Many years later it was referred to as the Southwest Side’s first self-service office supply center.
To those I will add a little more information although I would not hesitate to speculate that many of you have already guessed
the answer. So, here’s a little more:
Originally opened as a book and music store, it changed its character over the
years to meet the demands of the community, dropping the book and music theme
completely in 1957 when the store was expanded and remodeled.
After 44 years, Connors sold the store to
Frank Wainwright in 1967. Wainwright had
been active in the industry since 1936. After 20 years as an office supply salesman he
decided to go into business for himself and
in 1956 he purchased the Oak Lawn Office
Supply store at 5211 W. 95th St.
After purchasing Connors’ store, he
eventually expanded it once again this time
stretching over four store fronts. The project
allowed the introduction of a new department for desks and office furniture, as well
as, expanding key areas like greeting cards,
party needs, and holiday specialties.
Now what is the name of that store? Oh
yes, one more thing, its address for most of
the time any of us would have frequented it
was 6308 S. Kedzie. Yes it is Iama.
Mike N. was the first to call with the correct answer. Thank you so much to everyone

that has called whether to render a guess or
to welcome me back. It was really heartwarming to know that I was missed.
Over the Christmas season last year I added a picture of an Iama Ad to the Chicago
Lawn Historical Society Facebook page.
Many folks enjoyed it. But, low and behold,
wasn’t I surprised when a few weeks down
the road I was sent a copy of the same picture crediting ownership to a different site.
Shouldn’t one ask before lifting a photo? Perhaps not. But doesn’t common courtesy dictate that one at least give credit to the person
or organization that owns the picture?
The CLHS page was started with the
intention of posting upcoming events and
sharing some of our history. The “lifting”
left a bad taste so we haven’t posted any
photos recently. However we like sharing
the stories and photos and as long as people enjoy it we will again.
Also regarding the page, we’ve had some
trouble okaying new people that ask to join. I
have contacted FB. As of yet they don’t seem
to have an answer. So, if you know of someone whose request has not been answered that
is why and we do send our apologies.
This week’s history question takes us to
the 1970s. What is the name of the popular Irish Lounge that moved into the
digs of the former Club Irene?

Sunday Afternoon Mixed
Doyle Stadium re-dedicated
A packed house witnessed the re-dedication of St. Rita High School’s Doyle Stadium at 7740 S. Western Ave., Chicago, on Sept. 26. Over 30 Augustinian friars attended St. Rita’s homecoming game against Providence. On hand for
the presentation were Ernie Mrozek, the school president, who is speaking to the crowd. Standing next to him is the
Rev. Tom McCarthy, the St. Rita chairman. The re-dedication included a pregame holy water blessing of the new turf
field. Eleven years ago, St. Rita was the first Chicago-area high school to install a new-generation turf field. This year,
with the help of donors, it became the first Chicago-area high school to replace the field with the same updated turf
that the Indianapolis Colts use on their home field. (Submitted photo)

VOTED BEST OF
Lampros Tzimas, an instructor of Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management
at Moraine Valley Community College,
has earned the Certification of an Executive Chef from the American Culinary
Federation — the second highest certification after Master Chef.
The year-long process culminated
with a three-hour practical exam during
which Tzimas was evaluated by 10 judges on a three-course menu he created.
According to the American Culinary
Federation, “The Executive Chef certification identifies chefs who have demonstrated a level of culinary competence
and expertise through their education,
work experience, culinary knowledge,
and skills that are consistent with the executive chef level.”
“This certification means a lot to me
as a professional and as an educator,”
said Tzimas.
To be eligible for the certification,
Tzimas required at least three years of
experience as a chef in charge of food
production, supervising at least three
people in preparation of food. Prior to
teaching at Moraine Valley, he was the
executive chef at Dionysus in Worth for
seven years. He also needed 150 hours
of continuing education and documentation of three 30-hour courses in Nutrition, Food Safety and Sanitation, and
Supervisory Management.
The process to earn certification included assembling the documentation
required, taking a written exam, creating
and practicing a menu with specific standards and requirements, and taking the
practical exam, which Tzimas said was
the most stressful experience of his career.
He was provided a list of required ingredients he was responsible for bringing to the exam and using in his dishes.
He prepared lobster gazpacho and salmon lettuce wraps for the fish course, an
endive gorgonzola salad and pan-roasted airline chicken breast for the main
course. He also had to demonstrate mas-

tery of four classical vegetable cuts, four
cooking methods, appropriate vegetable/
starch accompaniment, an emulsified
vinaigrette, and two sauces using different methods.
“Ten chefs were judging me the whole
time on everything I did,” said Tzimas.
“They were watching everything I did.
If I didn’t wash my hands, I failed, and
someone was watching for that. I know
my skills, but it’s hard to produce them
in a new environment with people who
are totally new to you. Thank God I did
a good job and passed on the first try. I
am very proud.
“I cook because I love it. I really enjoy
it,” added Tzimas. “I don’t do it for my
students or my wife or my kids. I do it for
me. The kitchen is where my heart is.”

Batting cancer with a boost from community
I received many telephone calls from those
who had seen the 10 p.m.
Channel 5 News on Oct. 1
in which I was interviewed
about cancer. It was
very difficult for me but I
boarded the bus and made
it downtown to Pioneer
Court. I wanted to support
the lovely women in pink
T-shirts in the fight against
breast cancer. I felt very
happy to be able to do so.
I held their sign and was
delighted to stand with them
and learn from them. They
are courageous and brave
fighters. Some have already
gone through their chemotherapy and are in remission.
I have cancer of the endometriosis. Endometriosis is
a disease in which patches
of endometrial tissue, which
normally is found only in
the uterine lining (endometrium), grow outside the
uterus (Merck’s Manual).
Our wonderful mailman, Ken, had seen me
and told his family. He
said to me that he has a
celebrity customer. By
the way, I stopped in at
Heaven on Seven and had
shrimp linguini (eating
only half a plate). I’ve lost
20 pounds.
I must say that I was
Nance Dulaj
West Lawn

Chicago, IL 60629
(773) 585-1627
most impressed with my
care at Brentwood Subacute Health Care Center,
5400 W. 87th St., Burbank. I thank all the staff
involved, including Dr.
Michael McGrail, Byron
Moore and nurses and
aides. I cannot forget also
to thank the Admissions
Manager, Paulette Pickett,
who at one time lived in
West Lawn and was kind
enough to make everything
work so well for me.
I wanted to keep it quiet
that I wrote for the newspaper. However, several
people, including Paulette,
recognized me. I want to
thank Dr. Abigail C. Drucker, who was at the Women’s
Health Initiative on 95th
Street. I wanted to personally thank her but I heard she
has moved to another state.
I thank Nurse Practitioner
Kathleen Cavato, who first
noticed the urgent problem.
I also want to thank
oncologist/gynecologist Dr.
Jacob Rotmensch and his
professional staff at Rush
Hospital. My sincere thanks
are extended to include Dr.
Demetrius Lopes and Dr.
Steven Hattori. May God
continue to bless all these
wonderful people.
I have a wonderful,
cheerful, knowledgeable,
weekly visiting nurse, Linda
Quintana, from Regency
Home Health Care. She
helps keep me ... I was going
to say on my toes, but I
cannot do that right now. So,
I will say she monitors me
well.
Can’t forget our wonderful podiatrist, Dr. Walter
A. Halek and my wonderful ophthalmologist, Dr.
Jonathan Buka. Finally, Joe
Boyle, managing editor at
the Southwest News-Herald,
has been most encouraging, concerned and patient.
Thank you all so much. So,
I have taken on this unbe-
lievably painful fight with
everyone’s help, including
that of my sons, Glen and
George, and George’s wife
Carol.

A photo taken by a red-light
camera moments before an
11-car collision that killed
three people on Oct. 5
shows the white truck driven by Edward L. Carthens
(top center) crossing Cicero
Avenue on a red light and
swerving into eastbound
lanes of traffic waiting at
the light. Carthens, 81, was
killed in the crash, along
with two Little Company of
Mary nuns who were in the
car at the center of
the photo.

employees, we send our deepest sympathies and condolences to Sr. Jean and Sr. Anna’s families. They were compassionate women who devoted their lives to caring for others.
We continue to pray for all who were involved in (Sunday’s)
accident.”
A red-light camera photo taken at the intersection moments before the crash showed Carthans’ vehicle coming
directly toward the nuns’ blue car at the intersection.
Palmer said a pedestrian reported seeing Carthans
slumped over the wheel of his truck in westbound lanes of
traffic at 95th and Western Avenue, three miles east of the
accident. The pedestrian told police he asked Carthans if he
was OK and offered to park his car.
But Carthans said he was fine and continued driving west.
Palmer said that before getting to Cicero, Carthans’ vehicle struck three cars in traffic at 95th and Keeler Avenue. No
injuries were reported in that incident. But Carthans then
drove six blocks west, through a red light at Cicero, where
he swerved into eastbound lanes, colliding with numerous
cars waiting at the light.
The accident occurred at 4:30 p.m.
Although police said it was too early to say exactly how
fast Carthans was traveling, Palmer said “it is safe to say
he was going over the speed limit,” because he hit the vehicles with such velocity that the truck ramped up over several
cars, and came to rest on one.
All three deaths occurred at the scene. Eleven people in
other cars were injured and taken to area hospitals, with two
listed in critical condition at Christ Hospital. Those less seriously injured went to either Little Company of Mary Hos-

committed to maintaining the integrity and Catholic history
of the property. It anticipates having staff and services operating out of the property by early 2015.
“The Sisters have had a deep and rich history in this community,” said Monsignor Michael M. Boland, president of
Catholic Charities. “Right now we serve more than 15,000
people in the surrounding neighborhoods. The sheer size of
the Motherhouse campus will allow us to move a number of
services to the property and help even more people across
Cook and Lake counties.
“Since 1917 Catholic Charities has gone to where the need
is greatest. We are thankful to work closely with the Sisters
to ensure that those most in need will receive assistance and
support on their paths to self-sufficiency while continuing
the great tradition and history the Sisters have had in the
community for more than 100 years,” Boland continued.
Sister Regina Dubickas, General Superior of the Sisters of
Area 14

agreed that may be a possibility in the future. They said
there was not much budget discussion because they couldn’t
change the numbers they were given by the city.
A copy of the 2014 budget lists it as $606,002, but officials
said the 2015 budget is projected to be closer to $436,000
because of the $160,000 loss of tax revenue.
Adding an economic development component to the
SSA was considered last year when the new ordinance was
being drawn up. Several residents said that is needed. But
the financial constraints make anything beyond security patrols impossible for the time being.
“We don’t have the money to do anything else but stick
with the security,” said Miglinas.
Polikaitis said after the meeting that he appreciated the
offers made by residents to help the commission, by distrib-

Others were treated at the scene.
Palmer and the other officials agreed that it was likely the
worst vehicular accident to occur in Oak Lawn.
Sheets described the scene as “probably the most violent
and bizarre accident scene we’ve seen in our 30-plus years
of experience.”
Palmer said the scene was “organized chaos,” because the
first responders did their jobs well.
“We have all trained for this. (The response) played out
very well. It went as we would want it to,” he said.
Palmer said the accident scene, with so many demolished
cars, reminded him of a staged movie set.
He thanked the neighboring police and fire departments
who assisted at the scene.
“We have a great working relationship with the neighboring departments, as well as county and state police departments,” he said.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends
of those who died and were injured,” said Sheets.
Palmer and Brewer said it may be weeks before all the details of the accident are known, including whether Carthans
was stricken by a medical condition while driving or was
under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
“The incident is still under investigation,” Palmer said.
Sr. Jean Stickney was described as a prolific writer and
talented storyteller, known for her warmth and engaging
smile. She served on the LCM Hospital Board of Directors
and numerous committees.
Sr. Anna Kim, a member of the Little Company of Mary
Sisters in the Korean Province, had been living here for two
years, in part to gain an understanding of LCM ministries
in the United States. She assisted with bereavement services,
including “The Heart Connection” children’s support group.
St. Casimir, added, “For more than 100 years our congregation has ministered to the needs of this area and the broader community. To have Catholic Charities continue and
strengthen our legacy of service is an answer to our prayers.
It speaks of a bright and hope-filled future for all of us.”
The property dates back to 1911, when Mother Maria
Kaupas, foundress of the Sisters of St. Casimir, moved the
religious order from Scranton, Pa., to Chicago.
At one time the Congregation numbered almost 500 Sisters;
today it numbers 66. Through a planning process, the Sisters
determined that a property the size of the Motherhouse was
no longer needed to carry out their mission of service.
The Motherhouse also is home to a 300-seat chapel,
which was added in 1925.
The chapel will remain, with Catholic Charities planning
to use it for religious services for staff and for the community. The Sisters of St. Casimir also will continue to use the
chapel for their special celebrations.
The remains of Mother Maria Kaupas will stay at the site.
The Vatican has declared Mother Maria “Venerable,” and
her cause for beatification continues.
uting meeting notices or even printing documents to help
cut costs.
“That has never happened before, these offers to help,”
he said.
Rebidding the security contract will be the next order of
business when the commission meets again in November.
Three security companies, including current contract holder
Illinois Homeland Security, submitted bids in January, but
the bids were only good through April so it may have to be
rebid.
Residents such as Joe Kulys are adamant that weekend
bicycle patrols be added to any new contract, as well as having two cars manned by off-duty police officers patroling
24-hour.
Discussion of bike patrols was postponed last year, in part
due to the cost.
“One car is unacceptable. We have always had two cars,”
said Kulys.
Asked about the financial limitations, Kulys maintained
that there was room to cut the budget in other areas.
located at 4034 W. 56th St., Chicago.
Ald. Marty Quinn (13th) shared those concerns. But after looking into the plans for Hancock, he said that of the 210 seats available for
incoming freshmen, 105 would be made available for neighborhood kids. Those students
will be tested and graded, Quinn said.
“But from what I can see, students from
the Southwest Side are up for the challenge,”
Quinn added.
Quinn said he had become concerned over
the past couple of years that some middle class
families would choose to move to the southwest suburbs if they were not provided with
more educational opportunities.
“For the past three or four years I would
knock on a lot of doors asking residents questions about what they would like to see done in
the ward,” said Quinn. “They most frequently
would say, ‘How come we can’t have a selective
enrollment school on the Southwest Side?’ ”
Quinn then began asking principals he knew
for some input. He recalled a conversation he
had with Carmen Navarro, principal at Mariano Azuela Elementary School, 4707 W. Marquette Road. The principal had sent letters
to families after she brought students to the
North Side to see what a selective enrollment
high school looks like.
What struck Quinn was that students
shouldn’t have to go to the North Side to see a
selective enrollment high school — why can’t
there be a selective enrollment high school on
the Southwest Side?
Quinn discussed his concerns with Jeff Bartow, of the Southwest Organizing Project, and
Hector Rico, director of the Southwest Side
Latino Organization. They not only supported
Quinn’s proposal to bring a selective enrollment
schools to the Southwest Side, they said they
would assist in making this become a reality.
If the Chicago Board of Education approves
the proposal, Hancock will become the 11th
selective enrollment high school in the city.
If approved, current students at Hancock
will have spots held for them until they graduate and will be able to benefit from the increased Advanced Placement offerings at the
school.
“CPS believes in the importance of providing families with high-quality options, and
the proposed enhancement of Hancock into
a Selective Enrollment and CTE high school
would create a top-tier option in a neighborhood that has been without a local Selective
Enrollment high school,” said CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett. “We are enthusiastic about
the potential of a revitalized Hancock High
School and look forward to establishing a new
high-quality option in the far Southwest Side
of Chicago.”
The new programs at the school will involve
about $10 million in capital improvements,
which will be funded by the state. If Hancock
is approved to open next year, the number of
students who live beyond three miles from a
selective enrollment high school will decrease
by approximately 7,400 students.
“We have been meeting with community
leaders and parents for the past year to make
this quality educational opportunity available
to families,” said Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan (D-22nd).
In addition to Hancock’s proposed Selective
Enrollment program, the school will also offer
a CTE program with curriculum paths in prelaw and pre-engineering. Students living in
the neighborhoods feeding into Solorio, Curie,
Hubbard, Hancock, Kennedy, Bogan and Gage
Park high schools will be given preference for
the CTE programs at Hancock.
The application process for district elementary and high schools are now open and will
close on Dec. 12.
“This is a great development for the Southwest Side,” Quinn said. “The Southwest Side
for far too long has been the last spoke in the
wheel. Look how long it took to get the Orange
Line built. That’s got to change.
“There’s a reason why Dave Vitale (president
of the Chicago Board of Education) and Barbara Byrd-Bennett acted,” Quinn said. “Southwest
Side students are at a distinct disadvantage.”
