By Dermot Connolly
In the most high-profile congressional
race in the area, incumbent Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) was re-elected to a sixth term
over Republican challenger Sharon Brannigan on Tuesday.
Brannigan, a Palos Township trustee from
Palos Heights with a family-owned florist
shop, ran a spirited campaign against him.
With a platform of repealing Obamacare,
and lowering corporate and other taxes, she
had the backing of Tea Party groups.
But Lipinski is known for his ability to
compromise with Republicans, and with his
focus on job creation, his win was predicted
by most observers. Just the margin of victory was in question.
Late Tuesday, with 99 percent of the vote
counted, Lipinski won a sixth term in office with 65 percent (109,564) to 35 percent
(60,239) for Brannigan.
“Although a lot of people said I was a
shoo-in, I never take anything for granted,” Lipinski said at his victory party at the
Flagg Creek Golf Club in Countryside.
“It is all about taking care of people—
common-sense solutions. That is what people want. It is all about creating jobs,” said
Lipinski, who was joined by his wife, Judy,
and parents Bill and Rose Marie.
“He’s a very hard worker,” said the for-

mer congressman, explaining his son’s popularity.
“He’s for the regular, everyday, average
person,” agreed supporter Bob Nagle of
Oak Lawn.
“I’m hopeful that maybe something is
going to change in Washington,” said Lipinski, saying the inability of Democrats and
Republicans has gone on too long. He said
getting a comprehensive transportation and
infrastructure bill passed will be a priority
in the coming year. He noted that the temporary bill passed this year runs out in May.

St. Rene supporters vow they’ll fight decision
Lipinski, Zalewski among those opposed to archdiocese school closings
By Joe Boyle
Parents, students, parishioners and community leaders vowed during a Sunday night
candlelight vigil that they will keep St. Rene
School open.
St. Rene Elementary School, 6340 S. New
England Ave., Chicago, is one of nine Catholic grade schools the archdiocese plans to
close in June.
The other local school scheduled to close
next year is St. Turibius, 4120 W. 57th St.,
Chicago.
The Chicago Archdiocese said the nine
schools will close as part of a restructuring
and consolidation plan to reduce costs because of declining enrollment.
Pastors were notified by the archdiocese on
Oct. 29.
“I was completely floored,” said the Rev.

Remebering those candies offered at pharmacy
Continuing on our trip back to 1964, last week I
asked if you remembered which store here was the
exclusive dealer for Mrs. Snyder’s Home-Made Candies.
And, the only hint I offered was that the store was a
pharmacy closer to Western than Kedzie. Well, this was
a tough one.
Lots of good guesses and I must say I was totally
impressed with the amazing recall SWNH readers
have. I did not realize how many pharmacies were here
in the 1960s. The correct answer is: Mrs. Snyder’s
Home-Made Candies were offered exclusively by J & J
Pharmacy, 2557 W. 69th St.
This past week in 1964 saw the opening of a rather
important new road that was first proposed in 1933.
One of the hopes for this new thoroughfare was that it
would relieve some of the traffic on Archer and Ogden
Avenues. I am speaking of course of the Southwest
Expressway, now the Stevenson.
The official dedication ceremony was held at the
Damen Avenue Overpass. Gov. Otto Kerner was in
town for the festivities. A line of cars bearing public
officials, businessmen, engineers and others connected with the construction project joined in a parade
on the new road to the Palmer House for a dedication
luncheon. The governor said this road, when finished,
would take you from Chicago to New Orleans.
I’ll bet you remember h.i.s. sportswear. Fifty years
ago, the official headquarters in the neighborhood for
h.i.s. was a store whose byline was “First in Fashion —
The style store for young men.” The address was 2805
W. 63rd St. Hmmm. What was the name of that store?
I am sure you read in last week’s paper of the passing
of Irene Korosa. And we had just been talking about
her in this column the week before. Condolences to her
daughter, Cheryl Lynn, and her family.
Free flu shots will be offered at Daley College, 7500

Watching Wallenda’s
high-wire walk in Chicago
More than 50,000 people crowded Wacker Drive
in downtown Chicago to watch Nik Wallenda walk
a tightrope across the Chicago River, and then one
between the Marina Towers blindfolded.
It was irresponsible, of course. No catch line or
net to save him if he fell in the cold winds that swept
across the river walk where gawkers stood and Chicago Fire Department rescue units and scuba divers
waited, “just in case.”
And it was the “just in case” that drew everyone
— the death watch, just in case he fell. A terrible
thought, but without it, what made the daredevil
stunt worth it?
Wallenda was more than an hour and a half late,
so by the time he walked the first wire from Marina
Tower to the Leo Burnett building, half the people
were already leaving to go home before he began
his second walk, blindfolded across a shorter wire
between the West and East Marina Towers buildings.
As I waited in the chill with my son, I could only
wonder why I had to drive downtown and risk Chicago’s rising murder rate, the unbelievable high cost of
parking and food at over-rated restaurants. Chicago
reeks with excessive taxes. So why are we downtown
and not someplace in Chicago’s suburbs?
Where is the suburban “Nik Wallenda” entertaining
crowds?
POLITICAL GRAPEVINE: Regardless of the
outcome of the race for Illinois governor between
Pat Quinn and Bruce Rauner, the two real election
winners are House Speaker Michael J. Madigan, who
breathed life into Quinn’s candidacy, and Cook County Commissioner Liz Gorman, who gave Rauner the
chance he needed to make this an election to remember. Four years ago, voters dragged themselves to
the polls and Quinn defeated Bill Brady, with no one
paying attention to the southwest suburbs of Cook
County. This time, Gorman made the suburban county
the focus of the battle.
ARE YOU TIRED OF THE BIAS on TV News?
I watched Laura Washington and Roosevelt professor
Paul Green lamely pretend to be objective analysts on
WLS-TV. Are there not any objective commentators
who can offer the public insight rather than self-serving political insight?
NOVEMBER IS ARAB AMERICAN Heritage
month in Illinois. The most disturbing aspect is the
revelations recently that several leaders of Chicago’s
leading Jewish Community organizations lobbied
newly elected Mayor Rahm Emanuel in 2011 to
close the Advisory Commission on Arab Affairs.
Emanuel then pulled the rug out from under the
popular four-year-old Arabesque Festival, which
was also unfairly attacked by the same groups.
Mayor Daley stood up to the critics but Emanuel has
a personal agenda to see the racism through. Shame
on Emanuel’s phony pretense of racial diversity and
cultural pride.
CONTROVERSY AS SOLID AS OAK (LAWN):
With the state elections over, the focus shifts to
suburban and Chicago elections. The 10th Ward will
have a showdown between neighborhood activist
Samantha Webb and Ald. John Pope, a protégé of
former 10th Ward heavy and convicted political boss
Al Sanchez … Many people in Oak Lawn are hoping
former two-term Mayor Dave Heilmann gets back
involved and runs again in 2017. Oak Lawn is turning into an economic disaster. Everyone’s watching
the vicious war of words between longtime Trustee
Bob Streit and Mayor Sandra Bury in dueling online
blog posts.

Police barricades remained this week around a building in the 4100 block of West 63rd Street following a Nov. 1
facade collapse that killed one man and injured three others. All four men had been working on the building, which
includes several storefront businesses. (News-Herald photo by Dermot Connolly)
Building collapses in West Lawn area
One worker dies, three others
are injured in facade accident
By Dermot Connolly
A brick facade fell off a building at 4144 W. 63rd
St., Chicago, on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 1, killing one
worker and injuring three others.
The accident happened shortly before 1 p.m., at a
single-story commercial building between Kedvale and
Keeler avenues that houses several different businesses.
Workers were making changes to the building’s facade when it came tumbling down. Piles of fallen bricks
remained on the sidewalk an hour after the accident,
drawing crowds of curious area residents to the scene.
Traffic on 63rd Street, between Keeler and Pulaski
Road, was tied up for hours as well.
The 44-year-old man who died at Advocate Christ
Medical Center in Oak Lawn was later identified as
Roberto Topia-Gonzalez, of the 2500 block of South
Homan Avenue, according to the Cook County Medical
Examiner's Office.
A 30-year-old man was also taken in serious-to-critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center.
Another 44-year-old man was taken to Holy Cross
Hospital in fair-to-serious condition. Police officials
said the fourth person injured was a 41-year-old man
who refused treatment.
According to Chicago Department of Buildings
spokeswoman Mimi Simons, “unlicensed contractors
without building permits” were doing the work at the
site.
She said that when a full inspection is complete, the
building owner is likely to be issed several violations.
The building owner, who could not be reached for
comment, must remove the debris and erect a canopy
for the public's safety, Simmons said.
The building includes five separate storefronts, including a bakery and small shop selling religious items
and plants, where employees were working when the
incident occurred. They all escaped without injury.
At least two of the storefronts appeared to be vacant,
including the corner site where the facade fell down. On
Monday, a canopy had not been erected, and none of
the businesses were open.
Man dies, woman injured in GR home fire

about 6:30 p.m. and the victim was

Police stopped and questioned him because he
matched the description of a burglar operating in
that area. He was not carrying identification, and was
dressed in black, and bore gang tattoos.
In addition to the marijuana, contained in a knotted
latex glove, he was carrying two cellphones and a women’s ring. He had implausible explanations for the items,
police said.
Flores is due in court on Dec. 9.
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.

Loss of St. Turibius
is like losing family
Chicago’s Southwest Side is again informed about
more school closings. St. Rene, 6340 S. New England
Ave., and St. Turibius, 4120 W. 57th Place, are among
the nine schools that the Chicago Archdiocese plans to
close this June.
St. Clare of Montefalco, St. Camillus, St. Rita, St. Simon, St. Denis and St. Thomas More are just some of the
grade schools that have closed during the past 14 years.
Maria High School closed it doors a couple of years ago.
Another girls Catholic high school, Mount Assisi Academy, closed its Lemont campus this past June. Lourdes
High School closed back in 2002.
With those closings, memories are stirred. For most
of us, we don’t visit our former high schools and grade
schools often. But I guess we like the idea that they are
there. When school closings take place, it can create an
empty hole in some neighborhoods. Life goes on and
people will forge ahead. But for the residents of those
communities, the closings can have a negative impact.
Some studies have indicated that neighborhoods
begin to crumble when the Catholic schools close. These
Catholic schools, in some instances, have been a cohesive
oasis for struggling neighborhoods. And sometimes when
these schools close, more strife, rising crime and despair
take hold.
That is not to suggest that this will occur if and when
St. Rene and St. Turibius close. I say “if” because the
parishioners, parents, students, community leaders, and
even Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) and Chicago Ald. Mike
Zalewski (23rd) say they will do everything in their power to keep St. Rene open.
So, perhaps there is hope for St. Rene. I’m not sure
that is the case for St. Turibius, which has had low
enrollments over the past few years. However, one of the
strengths of schools like St. Rene and St. Turibius is that
because of smaller classrooms, there is more one-one-one
attention provided for students.
St. Turibius, like St. Rene, has staff members who
attended the school. Sharon Dulewski has been the principal for the past 15 years at St. Turibius. She has been
at the school the past 39 years. She also has served as an
assistant principal at the school.
So, when Dulewski and other teachers on staff at
St. Turibius say the school in Chicago’s West Elsdon
neighborhood feels like family, well, to them it is. Many
of these teachers and administrators have put their heart
and hard work into the school. They could have gone
elsewhere and probably made more money. But they
chose to stay. They were committed to what St. Turibius
was about. They not only teach students but give them
direction for their lives outside the classroom.
St. Turibius emphasizes its Catholic roots. In a story
that appeared in the News-Herald five years ago, in which
St. Turibius was our “School of the Month,” pupils in
the third through eighth grade would go to Mass with the
Rev. Ralph Zwirn, the pastor. The entire school celebrates
Mass together once a month as well.
Dulewski remembers most of the students who pass
through St. Turibius, including Trish Biondo, who has
served as a radio disc jockey for US 99.5 FM, “Chicago’s
Country Station.” She also rememberes West Elsdon native Jenny McCarthy, who would later appear in Playboy
and went on to host a show on MTV, star in some movies,
and appear for a time on “The View.”
Dulewski said in the School of the Month article that
McCarthy was “a good student, a hard worker and just a
nice (pupil).” Dulewski taught McCarthy when she was
in the seventh grade.
And if this is indeed the final year for St. Turibius,
those images and memories will be cherished. Dulewski
and the teachers at St. Turibius will have those memories.
“I know all the kids by name, and I still enjoy working
here after all these years,” Dulewski said.
And that makes it that much harder to say goodbye.

City voters propel Cunningham to victory
By Bob Rakow
State Sen. Bill Cunningham has Chicago voters to
thank for returning him to Springfield.
The 18th District Democrat unofficially defeated
challenger Shaun Murphy on Tuesday, 37,398 votes to
27,145 votes, with all but five precincts reporting.
Cunningham, however, found himself in a tight race
in the suburban portion of the district.
Murphy, the Worth Township Republican committee, did well in the suburbs, garnering 21,932 votes, or
51.2 percent, to Cunningham’s 20,877, or 48.8 percent,
according to unofficial results.
But the district’s heavily Democratic wards carried
the day for Cunningham, where he collected more than
76 percent of the nearly 22,000 votes cast, according to
unofficial results.
Murphy collected only 5,213 votes in the Chicago

portion of the district, which includes the Mt. Greenwood, Beverly, Morgan Park and Auburn-Gresham
neighborhoods.
Cunningham is a Beverly resident, while Murphy
hails from Evergreen Park.
The suburban portion of the 18th District includes
sections of Orland, Worth and Palos townships.
Neither Cunningham nor Murphy could be reached
for comment on Tuesday night.
Cunningham has spent the past four years in Springfield — two as a state representative and past two as a
state senator.
During the campaign he touted his experience and
efforts to end “business as usual” as a reason to be
re-elected.
He added that the state’s pension crisis is one of the
biggest challenges legislators face when they return to
Springfield after the election.
Murphy, who described himself as an independent-minded Republican, said the race would be an
uphill battle. But he expressed confidence in his campaign, saying it was a grassroots effort that started several months ago.
A focus of his campaign was attacking Cunningham for not being his own man and instead taking his
marching orders from House Speaker Michael Madigan and other party leaders when it comes to key votes.

A time to listen
T
hat was quite a drubbing the Democratic Party
took at the polls the other night.
Here at home, Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn lost
the governor’s office to Republican challenger
Bruce Rauner, despite the fact that Quinn’s Republican
counterparts in neighboring Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Ohio won re-election.
Outside of Illinois, from Kentucky to North Carolina,
Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate had trouble even
acknowledging that they voted for their party’s standard
bearer, President Barrack Obama. And voters punished
them for it.
Make no mistake, Tuesday’s election results were
a stinging rebuke to Democratic Party governance,
in general, and to the leadership style of President
Obama, in particular. Those, like Quinn, who embraced Obama, lost. And the numerous U.S. Senate
candidates who distanced themselves from Obama,
also lost.
We think there’s a reason for all of this. The country
is souring on Democratic Party ideas and is disappointed in President Obama’s leadership.
Consider the record under Democratic Party governance since 2009.
1. 63 straight months of economic expansion.
2. An economic depression averted.
3. A federal budget deficit reduced by two thirds.
4. A healthcare law that has insured 10 million previously uninsured Americans and has lowered the growth
in healthcare costs.
5. Two women and one Hispanic on the Supreme
Court.
6. Osama Bin Laden is dead.
7. A stock market at record heights, replacing trillions in household net worth that was lost from 20072009.
8. Unemployment down from 10.2 per cent to 5.9 per
cent.
9. Gas prices are below $3 a gallon, due in part, to
greater energy independence at home.
10. Marriage equality in most states.
A pretty good record, by most standards.
Yet, the country is decidedly uneasy. And it’s not
because of messaging.
Most Americans are underwhelmed by the economic
recovery, while Obamacare remains unpopular. Foreign
turmoil in eastern Europe and in the Middle East has
the country on edge, while the Ebola crisis has triggered enormous feelings of personal insecurity.
In this climate, Democrats, like Pat Quinn, who ran
on a platform of swapping higher income taxes for
lower property taxes, are perceived as out of step. And
deliberative leaders, like President Obama, are seen as
failing to rise to the moment and bringing the country
together in times of unease.
It is not at all clear that the changes the country voted
for on Tuesday will make things better. This newspaper
is decidedly lukewarm about the governing agenda of
the Republican Party.
But the people have spoken about Democratic Party
ideas and leadership. Democrats would be wise to listen
and to adjust.
It’s clear who lost the election
By Rich Miller
I’m writing this before Tuesday’s election results
were tabulated. I suppose I could’ve written two
columns, but I’ve been kinda busy, so let’s talk
about one of the weirdest things that happened this
campaign season.
Earlier this year, ultraconservative activist
Jack Roeser told me that his friend Bruce Rauner
believed life began at conception. “I’d describe
him as a guy who is a morally right-to-life guy, but
not on the hustings,” Roeser, who has since passed
away, said about Rauner.
Jack and many of his right-to-life allies backed
Rauner every step of the way, while Rauner, who
belatedly admitted that he’s pro-choice, spent much
of the Republican primary focusing his attention
on pledging battles with the Springfield Democrats
and their teachers union allies and fighting for term
limits.
The candidate has often said that he has “no
social agenda,” and would instead focus solely on
cleaning up government and getting the economy running again. But he also wanted to avoid
stressing the issue for fear of alienating a relatively
small but still important base of Republican voters
who just won’t vote for a pro-choicer of any party.
Every vote counts, especially if you’re a Republican running in Democratic-leaning Illinois.
But the issue exploded during the campaign’s
final week. As I’ve told you before, Local 150 of
the Operating Engineers Union — one of Gov. Pat
Quinn’s strongest supporters — spent big bucks
supporting the unabashedly pro-life, pro-gun Libertarian Party candidate for governor, Chad Grimm.
The idea was to siphon votes away from Rauner.
Like I said, every vote counts if you’re a Republican
in Illinois.
The Republican Party of Illinois pushed back,
sending mailers and doing thousands of robocalls
warning Republicans that Quinn and his allies
were trying to “steal” the election by pushing the
Libertarian, and claiming that Grimm was for gay
marriage and belonged to a party that is officially
pro-choice.
Rauner has contributed about 80 percent of
every dollar the party has raised. He installed a
loyal ally as party chairman. They haven’t done
much over there without first checking in with the
candidate.
Meanwhile, the pro-choice group Personal PAC
launched a TV attack ad on Bruce Rauner in Chicago. The ad urged viewers to vote for the state-
wide ballot initiative on employer mandated birth
control, and claimed Rauner had given millions
to “right-wing groups and politicians who oppose
birth control coverage.”
Rauner himself had earlier aired a TV ad only
in the Chicago area touting his “pro-choice”
views. The Personal PAC ad was designed to
counter Rauner’s message.
Not long after, the Rauner-funded Illinois
Republican Party countered the Personal PAC ad
with a Chicago TV ad claiming that the pro-choice
Rauner was for employer-funded birth control.
Talk about your mixed messages on all sides.
You got your Quinn-backing unions pushing
an anti-union Libertarian because he’s pro-life
and pro-gun, while giving even more money to
Quinn, who is pro-choice and a major proponent
of gun control. You got your Republican candidate
claiming he’s pro-choice and the almost totally
Rauner-funded state GOP saying he’s for employer-funded birth control while spending big bucks
(mostly Rauner’s) to warn rank and file Republicans against voting for a pro gay marriage candidate from a pro-choice party.
Whew.
The Democrats were outraged, incensed even
that Rauner would be so duplicitous. It was proof,
they said, that Rauner was really anti-abortion and
anti-gay marriage at heart.
The Democrats only said that in Chicago, of
course.
The truth is they've been planning this all along.
Folks at the very top of the Quinn campaign told
me last summer they were going to make trouble
for Rauner with Downstate conservatives by pushing him as far to the Left as they could in Chicago.
I even wrote about it.
Their close allies helped keep the pro-life, progun Libertarian on the ballot when the Republicans tried to kick him off and then they funded
his campaign in order to peel votes away from
Rauner.
In other words, the Quinn campaign was behind
what spies call a “false flag operation.” And Bruce
Rauner funded two diametrically opposed advertising messages about abortion at the same time in
an attempt to save his political neck.
Again, as I write this, I don’t know who won the
election. But I sure know who lost.
You.

An overall uptick in criminal activity
was the dominant topic of concern among
homeowners in the West Lawn neighborhood.
Residents and members of the Chicago Lawn (8th) District Police force gathered to discuss crime statistics during the
Beat 813 and Beat 833 Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy, or CAPS, meeting
held Oct. 28 at the West Lawn Park Field
House, 4244 W. 65th St., Chicago.
Beat 813 CAPS facilitator Barbara
Ziegler opened the session by introducing
8th District Sgt. Randi O’Carroll. Addressing a full audience of over 50 people, O’Carroll cited a rundown of the top
10 crime statistics for Beat 813 during the
last 30 days, as compared to a year ago.
Thefts totaled 33, up five from the same
time last year, according to police.
Several arrests were made during the
month of October. An attempted armed
robbery at 76th and Pulaski occurred on
Oct 1, along with an arrest for possession
of cannabis on 67th Place on Oct. 2.
An aggravated battery arrest was made
on 55th and Pulaski on Oct. 15. An aggravated kidnapping occurred at 63rd and
Kilpatrick on Sept. 23.
One arrest involved battery, criminal
sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping
at 67th and Pulaski Road. The offender
allegedly kept his victim hostage in her
home from Oct. 14 to Oct. 20. The offender
escaped but was apprehended the next day.
A recent murder/suicide involving two
family members took place on the 4200
block of West 63rd Street.
O’Carroll said that batteries increased
by one, totaling 21. Burglaries numbered
seven, down by eight. Motor vehicle thefts
were up at seven, from three a year ago.
Six narcotics cases arrests were made.
Also, five criminal trespassing cases, five
assaults, five deceptive practices, and four
public peace violations were reported.
Beat 833 reported 50 thefts, down five
from a year ago. Criminal damage incidents numbered 23 and assaults totaled
10. Battery cases were down by nine, totaling eight in the last 30 days. Burglaries
also totaled eight, down by 16.

Robberies increased by one for a total
of seven. Narcotics cases stood at four,
down four, and motor vehicle thefts totaled three, down two from a year ago.
Two criminal trespasses were reported. Police reports filed for both Beats totaled 437 in 2013 and 384 in 2014, so far.
Eighty-seven arrests were recorded for
2013 and 98, to date, in 2014.
Police said that weapons seizures numbered 36 for the last 12 months. A total
of 437 police reports were filed in 2013,
while 384 reports were made to date in
2014. Police arrests totaled 87 last year
with 98 so this year.
Weapons seizures numbered 36 in
the last 12 months. To date, 8,561 traffic
tickets were issued, as well as 100 search
warrants. Curfew violations totaled 550,
according to the 8th District.
Ziegler spoke at length about the Court
Advocacy program, which allows residents to work in tandem with the police
department to identify and track cases of
interest to the community.
Cases may range from violent crimes,
such as murder or rape, to “quality of life”
issues, such as drug dealing and public
drinking, abandoned buildings and negligent landlords, and even problem liquor
businesses.
Volunteers provide support for victims
and witnesses who may be hesitant to testify in court.
Ziegler stressed that “the presence of
Court Advocacy volunteers also sends a
strong message to the judge, (as well as
attendant court officials), that the community cares about the safety and welfare of
its citizens” and will not abide rampant
lawlessness and crime.
In September, 24 cases were followed
in court, including one in which a series
of strong arm robberies took place on Pulaski Road.
After a bench trial, the offender was
found guilty and sentenced to 27 years.

UBAM, Greater Southwest team for ‘Found Money’
Local organizations provide information for businesses about credits and grant availability
By Dermot Connolly
Dozens of business owners attended a breakfast seminar on “Found Money” that the United Business Association of Midway and Greater Southwest Development
Corp sponsored Oct. 29 at Masters Pancake House, 5265
S. Cicero Ave., Chicago.
In addition to UBAM and GSDC, the Alliance for Illinois Manufacturing also sponsored the event.
The main speaker was Nisha Floyd, vice president of
marketing for the Alliance, who detailed some of the
85 grants and programs available to businesses through
government, non-profit and private entities.
She pointed out that some of the more well-known
programs, including tax increment financing and small
business improvement funds, are only available in certain locations. But various other grants, low-cost loans
and tax incentives for employee training, energy efficiency, product development and business planning and
expansion are available statewide.
These include programs that assist companies hiring
through the Workforce Investment Act, which offers
50-percent wage reimbursement for up to six months of
on-the-job training of registered unemployed candidates.
She said there is also an employee training investment program offered by the state, which includes a
grant that reimburses 50 percent of employee training
costs. Sales and human resources training would not be
included.
Floyd also cautioned that because the state government is “broke,” the payout is slow, so business owners
should be prepared to cover the costs up front, and wait
for reimbursement.
She said that Cook County also offers property tax
abatement programs for developing sites that were either
abandoned or include significant new construction. Taxes for qualifying properties would be assessed at 16 percent, rather than 36 percent, for at least 10 years.
The state also offers tax credits for hiring post-9/11
veterans as well as the economically disadvantaged and
ex-felons. Small business job creation tax credits are also
available.
Jim Dulski, owner of an automotive repair business in
Clearing, said he was there to network but also learned
useful information at the meeting.
“This was my first UBAM meeting. I was just coming
to see if I could make some connections but it was a very
good meeting anyway,” said Dulski.
Obie Wordlaw, who owns Jero Medical Supplies, was
also attending his first UBAM meeting. He described
the meeting as very informative, and with several others,
stayed afterward to talk to Floyd.
Floyd said that while the Alliance is focused on man-
ufacturing, often dealing with large companies, many
small businesses — including a veterinarian’s office, are
also involved.
“We wanted to give business owners a chance to
hear about all these programs available,” said Tina
James, director of commercial and technology services at Greater Southwest Development Corp. She
pointed out that GSDC, located at 2601 W. 63rd St.,
Chicago, is available to assist business owners seeking
more information about the programs, or completing
applications.
After Floyd’s talk, Marty Faust, executive vice president of the Augustin Group, a consulting firm, described
how his company helps train salespeople for companies
through some of the programs mentioned.
UBAM Executive Director Anita Cummings said that
since its founding in 1985, UBAM has been advocating
for local business owners, and partnering with GSDC for
this and other events has worked well for both organizations.
“It is nice to see so many new faces here. Hopefully,
they will join our organization and we can continue to
grow together,” she said.

Southwest Airlines begins international service from Midway Airport
Southwest Airlines on Sunday began introducing international service
at Midway Airport.
Flights to Punta Cana, Dominican
Republic; Cancun, Mexico and Montego Bay, Jamaica all departed on Sunday morning from Midway’s A Concourse.
Southwest held festivities at the
gate with a Caribbean-themed celebration complete with travel-related giveaways and a photo booth
that produced passport-worthy ID
photos.
“On behalf of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, we congratulate Southwest on
launching these international routes
for travelers at Midway International
Airport,” said Chicago Department of
Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie S.
Andolino. “Southwest remains a great
airport partner at Midway, and today’s
inaugural flights help support Mayor
Emanuel’s goal to host 55 million visitors to Chicago by 2020.”
The international launch marked a
milestone in the final stage of Southwest’s integration with AirTran Airways. All international flights between seven destinations outside the
United States and the AirTran’s nine
U.S. gateway cities are now flown by
Southwest.
Southwest began service at Midway
in March 1985 and has since become
the airline’s busiest airport in terms of
daily departures with 258 nonstop departures a day to 64 cities.
Passengers take advantage of international flights being offered by Southwest Airlines, which

St. Joseph seventh-grade students build model ships
Seventh-grade students
at St. Joseph Elementary School, 5641 S. 73rd
Ave., Summit, built model
ships as part of their Social
Studies unit on the Age of
Exploration.
This documentary discussed theories that greatly
suggest many different types
of people actually made it to
America hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years before Christopher Columbus.
The video also explained the different types
of ships these people may
have used. As part of their
project, each group randomly chose an envelope
with the ship they were
responsible for researching
and building.
Using a variety of materials, each group carefully
used pictures that identified
the unique parts of their ship.
The ships built included a
Polynesian Te Puke, Viking
Knarr, Saxon Ship, Arab
Dhow and Irish Curragh.
Commonly used materials included popsicle
sticks, dowel rods, cloth,
cardboard and paint. Upon
completion of the project,
the students presented
their ships to the class and
discussed the answers to
the research questions.

Oak Lawn anglers land fish despite cold
The 2014 Rayjus Outdoors-Oak Lawn Community
High School Bass tournament was a character-building
experience.
With record cold temperatures, rain, snow, and wind
gusts up to 30 mph, anglers were put to the test on
the Kankakee and Des Plaines rivers. In the end, it was
Sean Cook, of Joliet Central High School, who won big
with a bag of four smallmouth weighing 6.81 pounds.
“Two inches of rain the day before and a major cold
front with high winds made for some extreme conditions and tough fishing. Rapala crank baits paid off
again for me,” said Cook.
The Oak Lawn Community High School Spartan
Fishing Team duo of John Neubauer and Andy Jensen
fished nearly six hours without a single bite. With 18
minutes left in the tournament, Jensen asked Neubauer
to get the net.
“My partner John Neubauer always stresses to me to
never give up and always have a positive mental attitude.
While many teams were pulling into the ramp early, we
braved the conditions and with one game changing cast,
we qualified for the Illinois BASS Nation state tournament,” stated Jensen.
Third-place finishers were Luke Jasper and Tom
Rimbo from Lemont High School.
Taking fourth place were Luke Brozovich and Canyon Kenny from Minooka. Finishing in fifth were
Bryson Evens and Collin Griffin from Seneca High
School. Each of the top five teams will be facing each
other again in the Illinois BASS Nation state tournament on Lake Springfield in June.

es of framed art and two tackle bags. The Bass Pro
Shops Big Bass was awarded to Jensen, who caught a
2.39-pound smallmouth bass. Tournament champion
Cook was awarded framed artwork and a tackle bag
as well.
Each of the 80-plus high school anglers who took
part in the tournament were presented with a bag of
baits from Rayjus Outdoors.

Sharing St. Turibius memories
I would like to dedicate this
column to my grade school,
St. Turibius, and its past and
present staff and educators.
The Archdiocese of Chicago
announced on Oct. 29 that St.
Turibius School will close at
the end of June, 2015.
The news was heartbreaking for me and my classmates.
Our memories stem from Mrs. Slapek
in kindergarten to Mrs. Niemczyk, Mrs.
Aranda and Sr. Theodorette in eighth
grade. Our graduating class had a total of
120-plus students.
We enjoyed hot dog days, McDonald’s
days, science fairs, history fairs, gym
class in the 56th Place hall, Brownies,
Sr. Julianne and from the library, Wayne
Messmer, who for a long time singing
the national anthem at the Blackhawks’
game, Monsignor’s Choir, First Friday
Masses, Children of Mary and so much
more.
I thank my parents for working hard to
be able to send me for a private education. They didn’t receive any funding
from the state and they weren’t rich. But
they worked hard. There are many Facebook postings from alumni through the
years that are also upset. I only wonder
if the alumni stayed in the neighborhood, sent their children to St. Turibius
and supported the school, maybe this

The Crane & Moreland building at
63rd and Central, near where this paper
used to be published, is now history
for many weeks now. The Aviation
Department is making the site a nice
green space, and the workers tell me that
within a week or two, all three southwest
corners across from Midway Airport will
be landscaped and completed.
When this city wants to do something,
it goes fast. But on the other hand,
I’ve been waiting for my potholes to
be patched since the beginning of the
summer.
Although this is not local, I want to
point out that Chicago will mark Veteran’s Day on Tuesday at Soldier Field.
Soldier Field was named as such at the

those men lost in World War I. The

Gage Park High School plans open house
Today is Friday, Nov. 7.
Gage Park High School,
5630 S. Rockwell, will hold
an open house from noon
to 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov.
15. Gage Park High School
opened in 1939 and serves
three communities: Chicago
Lawn, New City and Englewood.
St. Simon also has Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every Tuesday after 8
a.m. Mass until 3:15 p.m.
I was taking a walk on
Halloween and the Claussen
Mansion on Western looked
spooky so I took a picture
and posted it on my Gage
Park Facebook page.
Many people are
unaware of the Claussen
Mansion. So, here are some
facts: Danish born Claus
F. Claussen and his three
sons Hans, Peter, and Claus
S. settled in Kankakee in
1867. A year later, they
opened a truck garden on
the South Side that turned
into a pickle factory.
A truck garden is a farm
where vegetables are grown
to take to market to be sold.
And so C.F. Claussen &
Sons Pickle and Sauerkraut
Mfg. Co. was born. Mr.
Claussen designed most
of the buildings himself
and built a windmill to
generate electricity. The

factory was built at 5145
S. Western Ave. He also
built a three-story, 37-room
apartment building at 5133
S. Western to house his
whole family. This massive
multi-windowed structure is
still standing. Horses were
used to transfer pickles from
rail cars to a dozen or more
buildings for aging and
processing. Horses plowed
acres of land on which beets
and dill weed were grown.
They also had cucumber
and cabbage patches.
At one time they kept 32
horses in barns on the property. Even as late as the 1950’s
horses were still used to pull
Claussen Company wooden
wagons to make neighborhood deliveries just to keep
their identity known. The
company has since moved to
Woodstock, Ill. and is now
owned by Kraft Foods.
The Chicago Historical
Society sent me an obituary
that appeared in the Chica-
go Daily Tribune on Dec.
21, 1932. I’ll just print a few
of the facts: C.S. Claussen,
president of C. F. Claussen
and Sons, died yesterday
at Little Company of Mary
Hospital from injuries suffered when he was struck
by an automobile at 110th
and Western Avenue.
He was 70 years old and
is survived by a wife, one
son, and three daughters.
The death of Mr. Claussen
raised the 1931 death toll in
Cook County to 1,239. Marilyn Benson Bradley wrote
to say her family owned the
servants house and it faced
52nd Street.
This is part of Edward
Claussen’s obituary:
Edward J. Claussen passed
away Friday, March 14,
2014 in Phoenix, Ariz. He
was born in Chicago on
June 7, 1928 to Frederick
and Marie (nee Raddy)
Claussen and lived in
Chicago until he retired
to Scottsdale. He was the
fourth generation president/
CEO of the family owned
Claussen Pickle Co. and
was instrumental in creating the world renowned
refrigerated pickle that
enticed Oscar Mayer to
purchase the firm in 1970.
He attended Gage
Park High School and the
University of Illinois. He
played the trumpet in the
United States Army Band
during the Korean War.

underpass or overpass done (through the railroad yards in Bedford Park), but that is a big
project. If we can get the federal transportation
bill passed, and state funding is approved, maybe we can get some of these things done in the
coming years.”
Lipinski said that Republicans taking control of the Senate, and increasing their majority
in the House, might actually help move things
along in Washington for the next two years.
“They won’t be able to blame the Senate for
not getting things done. And the president will
have to work with them. The two parties will
have to work together and compromise, something I have been advocating since I came to
Washington in 2005.”

local House districts also won re-election easily

Thomas Bernas, pastor of St. Rene. “The (archdiocese) called that morning and told me they
were going to close the school. That was it. I was
stunned.”
The vigil was put together without much notice on Sunday, but a large crowd showed up despite windy, cold temperatures. Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) and Chicago Ald. Mike Zalewski
(23rd) also attended the vigil held outside the
school.
“I am a great supporter of Catholic schools,”
Lipinski told the crowd. “I will do whatever I
can to keep St. Rene open.”
Zalewski echoed Lipinski’s sentiments.
“There is no good reason that St. Rene should
close. None,” Zalewski said. “Cong. Lipinski
and myself are going to do everything that we
can to keep this great school open.”
Thomas McGrath, chief operating officer for
Catholic Schools, said last week that the affected
institutions do not make the grade in terms of the
Archdiocese of Chicago Board of Catholic School
2013-16 Strategic Plan. McGrath said schools with
an enrollment under 225 students, or archdiocese
aid of more than $300,000, were affected.
McGrath said the affected schools had an average enrollment of about 125 students. According to St. Rene officials as of Sunday, the school
had an enrollment of 168 students.
Chris Sanchez, president of the St. Rene
Mothers Club, is not buying that response from
the archdiocese.
“We have been down before and the enrollment has always come back up,” Sanchez said.
“We thought that when (the archdiocese) wanted
us to have these committee meetings this year
it was so that we could work together for the
next three to five years on plans to improve the
school. We are in complete shock.”
Jennifer Thompson, who is also a member of
the mothers club, has a child in the eighth grade
at St. Rene. She is a graduate of the school and
parishioner for over 40 years.
Like Sanchez, she did not see this coming.
“It is important to keep this school open,”
Thompson said. “It means so much to the students. They asked me what they can do to keep
the school open. They said they want to hold
bake sales.”
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2014
since 1993, beat Republican challenger Jimmy
Lee Tillman by a margin of 73 percent (149,231)
to 27 percent (55,731). Likewise, in the 4th Congressional District, incumbent Luis Gutierrez
defeated his challenger, Hector Concepcion, by
a margin of 78 percent (73,588) to 22 percent
(20,534), with 98 percent of precincts reporting.
Referenda questions
Several referenda were also on local ballots on
Tuesday, including three advisory, or non-binding question. The first, asking whether the minimum age should be raised to $10 for those over
18, won by 67 percent to 33 percent. The second,
asking if all health insurance plans offered in
the state should include contraceptives, won by a
margin of 66 to 34 percent. The third, asking if
a 3 percent tax on income over $1 million should
go toward school districts won 63 percent to 37
percent.
A statewide ballot question, asking if the statewide constitution should be amended to expand
victims’ rights won 78 percent to 22 percent.
The second question, asking if the constitution
should be amended to prohibit discrimination in
voting, won 71 percent to 29 percent.
Sanchez and Thompson said the school
means so much to the Clearing community as
well. Many of the parishioners are graduates of
the school and have memories of the programs
and sports activities the school offers.
St. Rene School opened in 1960. It is named
after St. Rene Goupil, known as the patron saint
of anesthetists.
Along with computer labs, a solar panel was
installed at St. Rene in 2008. One kilowatt harnesses enough solar energy to power the light in
a classroom.
Clearing resident Anita Cummings, the executive director of the United Business Association of Midway, has been a parishioner at St.
Rene for over 47 years. Her children also attended the school. She is frustrated because she was
under the impression the transformation committee meetings were designed to provide ideas
and proposals to improve current programs at
the school. Now she has her doubts.
Cummings added that the school has no debt
and they have received no money from the archdiocese.
“We did so many things over the past year
with the transformation committee meetings,”
Cummings said. “They were supposed to send
someone over from the archdiocese to the meetings and they never did.”
Cummings, like Sanchez and Thompson, is
angry because St. Rene is part of her life.
“My kids have been baptized here. They have
been married there,” Cummings added.
The large turnout on short notice delighted
Thompson.
“I’m speechless,” Thompson said to the crowd
near the end of the vigil, which included prayers
and singing. “This turnout on short notice shows
the support that is there for St. Rene.
“We have to save this school. Let’s keep fighting.”
Officials at St. Turibius did not comment this
week about the school’s closing.
A message was posted on the school’s website. It read:
“It is with heavy hearts that we have to end
