Albert F. Opitz moved to the 36th ward 10yrs ago w/o leaving my hsI was told that, sometimes, when they arrest apparently mentally violent people, they bring them to Read Center and hold them there long enough to transfer them to a facility that can control them. ie, NOT permament! Just to hold and transfer!

Chicago tree trimming?
I know I can request tree trimming online, and I will do that. Just have a few questions about how it works.
Last week, signs went up in front of a few houses so that tree trimming could be performed. They worked on one tree. I asked a worker if they were going to do the tree next door to my house. It has a large dead branch overhanging the street. Worker brushed me off, said no all those trees...

Last week, signs went up in front of a few houses so that tree trimming could be performed. They worked on one tree. I asked a worker if they were going to do the tree next door to my house. It has a large dead branch overhanging the street. Worker brushed me off, said no all those trees are gonna come down one day because of the disease. So I asked how long he thought it would take to get to this one considering there are probably 80,000 of them in the city.
I know resources are slim, I know that services need to be requested but it seems strange to me that the equipment was there, workers ready to go but they couldn't cut the dead branch off.

Alderman Tim Cullerton 38th Ward 38th Ward AldermanAnna, I know it may sound confusing, but it depends if the workers were working on 311 requests OR if they were working on an area "blitz".
You can call my office if you are in the 38th Ward and submit the address and I'll try to see if it's possible to get the tree trimmed during the next blitz. If you're in another Ward, call the Alderman's office to see if he/she can try and help.
My number is 773-545-3838.

Fun exercise classes?
Does anyone know of any fun Zumba/Jazzercise-type courses offered this summer on the NW side (and reasonably priced)? Thanks
Loading

If you go to the Zumba website, you can find classes based on your location. Immaculate Conception has classes with 2 great instructors 3 days a week. They run 6 week sessions and the pricing is as follows: Drop-in = $10 per class, One day per week = $48, Two days per week = $85, Three days per week = $100. I do the 3 days per week, and it works out to about $5.50 per class.

Police presence in our neighborhoods during the NATO summit
I'm kind of hoping some can answer this question for me be it an alderman or another resident. With the NATO summit I'm expecting a lot of officers being present at whatever protests will be held in the downtown area. I would like to know if there will be a decrease of police in our area doing their usual patrols during this time.

Portage Parker since 1946 Name says it.One of the cool things is to visit the actual pavement where the executions took place behind what was then the Criminal Court. A place of pilgrimage almost entirely ignored by Chicago. And a nod of admiration to Governor Johann Peter Altgeld, who committed political suicide acquiting some.

our state senators in action
According to the Friday edition of the Chicago tribune "the senate voted 32-20 to require that students in kindergarten through fifth grade get at least 20 minutes of recess. Schools also would be permitted to require recess for sixth through eighth grades. The bill also seeks to block teachers from holding children out of recess as punishment according to sponsoring Sen Kimberly Lightford. the measure will go to the House."

Her original bill was for 30 minutes but through negotiations it was dropped to 20 minutes.
Granted children need recess but do we need a state law for this. Chicago and the State are crumbling and our Senators are debating and voting on recess for children. How ridiculous. What is the old saying while Rome burned Nero fiddled. We need to stop the foolish music and man the hoses.

Tom K. Lifelong resident of Portage Park.OK. I didn't say whether I agreed with the merits of the bill you brought up. All I said was that there are other issues that need to be addressed, and the General Assembly seems to believe that recess was one of them. That's just one example out of many bills that have already passed this year that have nothing to do with the financial mess.

kenji my email is: chicagokenji @ gmail@ekop, yes recess is a state issue. It's the health and wellbeing of the children in their care. Just like their nutrition is when eating a school lunch.

Icci Academy reviewed by a parent
Icci Academy (6435 W Belmont)This is a school with major faults. If a child scores low on a test, the principal will have him or her repeat it or, he will tell the teacher to give the child a better grade, but only depending on the child, this is special treatment for parents who are on his side. This school is a joke, what is worse than having a horrible principal, is having people who think that he is a good leader. He knows nothing about education.

Graffiti at Merrimac Park
I've been noticing a ton of new graffiti all around Merrimac Park. Someone actually wrote all over the sidewalk on Irving with what I think is marker... stuff about "Cobra Killers" and all that other garbage. All the signs, electrical boxes, etc. surrounding the park have new graffiti on them. I will be happy to take some pictures and post them if that will help identify these useless pieces of garbage. This needs to stop now BEFORE it escalates and they start shooting each other up.
