Hanover Park wants to open outreach center

When the unemployment rate spiked to nearly 17 percent in February on the Cook County side of Hanover Park, Mayor Rod Craig's first instinct was to reach out to the three community colleges that serve the village.
He says he figured Harper College, Elgin Community College and College of DuPage would best be able to implement initiatives aimed at training residents and getting them back to work.
After meeting with college leaders, Craig envisions opening up an outreach center in town so that the trio, in conjunction with Illinois WorkNet, which is sponsored the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, would come and provide those services.
He's currently on the lookout for a location.
"It seems as though any door I knock on, there's somebody who's been laid off or is experiencing reduced work," Craig said. "People are sharing with me they have great fears about the future."
A main goal would be to improve access to individuals who live on the outskirts of a college district and have no way of commuting upward of 15 miles to campus.
"It's kind of a sticky wicket because we all share a little piece of Hanover Park but none of us really own it," Harper College spokesman Phil Burdick said. "Most residents (in Hanover Park) don't even know what district they live in. We're talking about what's feasible to improve that access."
Craig has met with Harper President Ken Ender, ECC President David Sam and representatives of COD to discuss the situation, and on July 1 he put together a community development work force summit that drew all three schools, major local employers, state Rep. Fred Crespo and state work agencies.
Talk of opening an outreach center is still in the early stage, but representatives from each school say the summit allowed business leaders to learn about training options that already exist.
"Say FujiFilm (host of the summit) needs English as a Second Language training for eight employees. We bring it to them," said Susan Van Weelden, ECC director of community engagement and economic development. "And we work to find grants so that up to 50 percent of the training can be subsidized."
The colleges also made clear that borders don't really matter as long as a resident isn't looking to take a for-credit class. Van Weelden said Hanover Park officials were surprised to learn that ECC offers employment services at Streamwood village hall.
"The summit was an exciting first step for Hanover Park's area employers to understand what the local resources are," COD spokesman Joe Moore said.
Craig hopes the outreach center will become a reality, even though the most recent numbers show improvement in the town's job picture. The Illinois Department of Employment Security reported May unemployment rates of 11.9 percent in the Cook County side of Hanover Park and 10.4 percent on the DuPage County side.

New bike path links Schaumburg, Hanover Park
We are excited about the new bike path between Hanover Park and Schaumburg. We hope you can join us Saturday, July 3rd at 1pm for the dedication of this trail. The ribbon cutting will be at the end of Walnut Lane in Schaumburg, located about 1,000 feet east of Northway Drive. Here is a short write up from the Daily Herald about it.

New bike path links Schaumburg, Hanover Park

Published: 7/1/2010 10:59 AM
Residents are now free to take a bike ride, jog or leisurely stroll on a recently completed bike path that hooks up parks in Hanover Park and Schaumburg.
Hanover Park Mayor Rod Craig and Schaumburg Mayor Al Larson will meet at 1 p.m. Saturday for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the end of Walnut Lane in Schaumburg, located about 1,000 feet east of Northway Drive.
The 10-foot-wide, milelong stretch officially known as the NGPL Bike Path runs from Ranger Park at Kingsbury Drive in Hanover Park to Atcher Park and an existing path just north of the DuPage River.
It also provides access to both Anne Fox and Jane Addams schools.
Hanover Park served as lead agency and received an 80 percent federal grant for project costs, which officials estimate totaled about $330,000.
Of the remaining 20 percent, Hanover Park paid 86 percent with Schaumburg chipping in the remaining 14 percent.
Martam Construction Inc. in Elgin was the contractor on the path, which runs along the right-of-way owned by the Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America.

Herald Editorial Board Comment on Progress in Hanover Park

One suburb's relentless fight against violence
Daily Herald Editorial Board
Published: 6/10/2010 12:01 AM
Burying one's head in the sand is never a sensible course of action. And neither is assault and retreat.
Hanover Park, in reacting to four murders inside two weeks just a year ago, instead set forth to establish a major shift in the way it polices its citizenry in order to establish greater trust, a greater intelligence network and better contact with kids who could choose the wrong path.
What it all boils down to is that Hanover Park police have pledged to get to know the people in the community.
Village President Rodney Craig says things have quieted down in the last year, something he attributes in part to the change in policing strategies.
It may be too early to tell whether it's working. Violent crime has a habit of occurring in waves and peaking with the temperature. But Hanover Park philosophically is on the right track.
Between May 23 and June 6 last year, four murders rocked the village. Violent crime was nothing new to Hanover Park. But not on this level. Not all at once.
Jesus Sanchez, 16, was shot to death while walking home from a park where he'd been playing soccer. Police believe it was a gang killing. No arrests have been made in that case. Norma Favela, 31, was beaten to death. She was pregnant. Her boyfriend was charged. Pamela Sue Howat, 51, was stabbed to death. Police arrested a former co-worker she'd dated briefly. Diontae Roberts, 23, was stabbed to death at a party. Police made an arrest. They say it was another gang crime.
It's not easy to anticipate or prevent homicides like Norma's or Pamela's.
It's not easy to prevent gang homicides either. But it is possible to make a dent in gang crime by tracking gang members, getting to know them and those they would recruit. And to be a visible and trusted member of the community.
Hanover Park has established an Area Response Team in which cops become part of their beats - not just reacting to crime but dealing with its causes, from social issues to property upkeep. The village has added new police officers and is committed to hiring more. It provides e-mail alerts on crime to interested residents. And it has a safe homes program in which officers and a social worker visit the homes of kids who might be associating with gangs.
"We're trying to foster a relationship beyond the traditional police approach of writing a report, issuing a ticket and leaving," Police Chief Tom Cortese told Daily Herald reporter Kimberly Pohl. "We're interacting with the community."
That daily interaction is what builds trust and makes it more likely that police will be tipped to criminal activity by the vast majority of residents who just want a peaceful place to live.
It's a policy that has paid dividends elsewhere. Elgin and Mundelein use similar programs; so has Rolling Meadows.
Elgin's new police chief, Jeff Swoboda, was a member of the fledgling Resident Officer Program of Elgin (ROPE) 15 years ago when the city saw two dozen homicides in one year.
He was promoted to chief, in part, on the strength of his ongoing commitment to that program. He and ROPE officers since him have lived in and operated out of city-owned houses in troubled neighborhoods.
Many of the programs Hanover Park has started mirror what Elgin has employed for years. Elgin still has its share of crime problems, but the murder rate is down to about three per year.
"(ROPE) was a catalyst for the neighborhoods," Swoboda said. "It takes the ROPE officer working with motivated residents to have lasting change. We could go into a neighborhood and make a bunch of arrests, but that wouldn't solve anything."

A year after a string of murders, Hanover Park works toward change
I wanted to share this article from the Daily Herald:
----------------------------------------
A year after a string of murders, Hanover Park works toward change
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=386111
By Kimberly Pohl | Daily Herald Staff
A year has passed since a cloud of despair blanketed Hanover Park.
Neighbors closed blinds and fearful parents refused to let their children play outside after seeing police officers drape yet another front yard with yellow crime scene tape.
In a two-week span from May 23 to June 6, four murders shook the village and left its leaders speechless. Several area police departments and Illinois State Police rerouted manpower to assist Hanover Park, and residents looking for answers jammed into gymnasiums for gang awareness forums.
"It couldn't have been a more horrendous time," Mayor Rod Craig said. "It was a nightmare."
However, Craig said that since the spike in violent crime, which also included multiple nonfatal shootings and stabbings in spring 2009, the cloud has lifted. The village is enjoying a period of relative quiet Craig attributes to a number of changes, including a shift in policing strategies.
Among them is a new community policing initiative known as Area Response Team.
Instead of just patrolling neighborhoods, Deputy Police Chief Tom Cortese said, officers now immerse themselves in their beats and are responsible for seeing problems through to the end, from social service to code enforcement issues.
"We're trying to foster a relationship beyond the traditional police approach of writing a report, issuing a ticket and leaving," Cortese said. "We're interacting with the community."
The hope is that people will be more likely to come forward when they know of a crime that has or is about to take place. Cortese said police are having success in some areas, though there's still reluctance in others largely due to language barriers.
Unfortunately, nobody has come forward with information leading to Jesus Sanchez's killer. The 16-year-old was gunned down May 23, 2009, while walking home from playing soccer in a nearby park. Police believe the murder was gang-related, and said an active investigation continues.
Quick arrests were made after the killing of Norma Favela, 31, a pregnant mother police say was beaten to death by her boyfriend, and Pamela Sue Howat, 51, who police say was stabbed by a former co-worker she briefly dated. And charges came within hours of 23-year-old Diontae Roberts dying in a gang-related stabbing at a party.
All three cases are pending in Cook and DuPage County courts.
Another key change is the size of the village's police force.
Since the slayings, Hanover Park has added three sworn police officers, bringing its total to 57. This year's budget includes funding for four more officers.
Craig tapped former Police Chief Ron Moser as village manager, and department veteran David Webb stepped in as the new chief. And village trustees approved building a much larger police station later this year to relieve cramped headquarters.
Police now host public meetings at village hall and e-mail news to anyone who signs up for alerts.
The department also has a safe homes program in which officers and a social worker visit the homes of at-risk kids who might be associating with gangs. They ask parents' permission to search a child's room for evidence of gang activity and determine how to deal with the situation.
About 10 such searches have been conducted since January. Cortese said the "success rate is too early to say."
In addition, the department resurrected its neighborhood watch program, which had been phased out along with other crime prevention initiatives because of budget woes and a lack of personnel. More than 75 block captains signed up to host meetings, organize block parties and act as liaisons with police.
Jenny Konstanzer, a stay-at-home mom to four children and a co-captain with her husband, said you can never have too many sets of eyes on the lookout. She also believes that consistently seeing the same four officers assigned to her neighborhood has made people more comfortable with police.
"We're trying to let people know that our police department is here to help us, not hurt us," Konstanzer said. "We've come a long way in a year."
Craig said he's hopeful the quiet trend will continue as a sense of community grows.
"Unfortunately, domestic violence hasn't gone away and crazy people will still do crazy things," he said. "But we have good families and hard workers who want to improve the quality of life here."

Taxing bodies prod Cook County to get tax bills out on time-ish
I wanted to share this article from the Daily Herald. I attended the meeting discussed below, and I am concerned about the timely transfer of funds that Hanover Park needs to provide services to our residents.

Taxing bodies prod Cook County to get tax bills out on time-ish
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=376178
By Eric Peterson
Taxing bodies in and around Schaumburg Township Monday called on the Cook County Board of Review to issue the second installment of this year's property tax bills by the official deadline of Aug. 1 instead of delaying until 2011.
Board of Review Chief Deputy Commissioner Scott Guetzow said such late billing is inevitable due to delays in the system that aren't caused by his office. It's been 32 years since the county got the bills out on time, and the delays have been getting longer and longer.
Schaumburg Township Assessor John Lawson held a news conference Monday morning in which he was joined by representatives of several villages, libraries, park districts and school districts within the township.
These representatives spoke about the problems local governments will face from late payments of property taxes. Taxpayers also will suffer, they said, because they won't be able to declare their property tax payments on 2010 income tax forms if they aren't made until early next year, which is considered likely.
"Everyone in Cook County is affected over and over and over again by the lateness of these tax bills," Hoffman Estates Mayor Bill McLeod said. "It affects everyone's bottom line."
Schaumburg Township District Library Trustee Robert Frankel said that in the continuing poor economy, there are some taxing bodies running out of sufficient reserves to pay their bills. They then have to pay interest on tax anticipation warrants they use to meet bills while waiting for their money to arrive from the county.
Most of those present agreed it was within the Board of Review's power to take politics out of the process and meet the Aug. 1 billing deadline. They believe there's a built-in incentive to delay the tax bills so that they come out after Election Day in November, which should be overcome for the public good, they said.
"That's all we're asking," Lawson said. "Do what your job is."
Eric Herman, spokesman for Cook County Assessor Jim Houlihan's office, said the Board of Review is backpedaling from a commitment it made to get through the appeal process within three months.
"We are committed to getting our work done by May 7," Herman said. "We have our people working overtime - literally."
But Guetzow said that even if the Cook County assessor compiled all the appeals by May 7, they wouldn't be received by the Board of Review until sometime in June due to procedural delays for such things as official publication.
A large number of appeals are anticipated this year because of the increasing disparity between assessed values and perceived market values, Guetzow said, referring to the decline in property values in recent years.
"The property tax is a good tax because it's not based on ability to pay but the value of the property," Guetzow said. "But it all starts with an accurate assessment," he said, suggesting that if the assessor did a better job, there would be fewer appeals.
In addition to asking the Board of Review to issue bills by Aug. 1, Lawson is also asking the U.S. Attorney to join the Cook County State's Attorney in its investigation of the Board of Review's procedures. He said he believes an independent agency should have a role when one county department is investigating another.
