He’s a local business leader and decades-long resident of Lake County running for Congress to change the trajectory of the country – by working to end the negative social discourse that has taken hold in Washington and passing real policy solutions for Americans based on logic, compassion, and common sense.Jim is the child of an immigrant. His father left Greece because he was unable to attend college due to his parents’ political affiliation. Jim’s father moved to Chicago, where he met his mom at their local Greek church. He got his big break as a union house painter and later went on to be a contractor – all while providing for his family and raising five kids in Illinois with Jim’s mom – who herself was the daughter of immigrants.From his father’s experiences Jim gained three things: one, the love for this country because of what it has provided him – the ability to live the American dream. Two, the importance of small government oversight. And finally, the importance of education.College wasn’t just an option for Jim, he was expected to go. However, how to pay for it was a different story. The contracting business is sometimes difficult and so for periods of time during Jim’s life, money was tight. So, Jim put himself through college and law school by painting houses, working construction, washing dishes, and bartending – never afraid to put in the work.Jim has spent his life in business, not politics, practicing law, running his own company and as a corporate leader. His career in business, as well as watching his father run a small business, has provided Jim with the understanding of keeping a balanced budget and making payroll. Additionally, he understands the costs and hardships small businesses contend with, and the struggles 10th District families are dealing with, due to burdensome government overregulation, inflation and high taxes.Throughout the years, Jim has been deeply involved in his community serving on numerous community and charitable organizations, including the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, American Red Cross of Chicago, NAIOP, Lurie Children’s Hospital Pro-Am Golf Committee, the Plan Commission of Lake Forest as well as coaching youth soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, and flag football. This extensive involvement has given him firsthand knowledge of the issues that matter most to the people of the 10th Congressional District.In Congress, Jim will work across the aisle to deliver results for the families of the 10th Congressional District. He’s a new, independent leader who will make the economy, public safety and national security his main focus in Washington.Jim and his wife, Kimberly, are raising their three children in Lake County.#JimCarris #10thDistrict #CommunityImpact #PoliticalChange #Vote2024 #brad Schneider

In this compelling episode of the Lake Forest Podcast, hosts Pete Jansons and Joe Weiss tackle the pressing issue of voter apathy and the future of the Lake Forest Caucus. As participation dwindles, with only 257 community members turning out for a pivotal vote, questions arise about the continued relevance of the caucus system in modern governance. 🗳️🌳Today, we delve into several critical areas:The alarming lack of voter turnout and what it suggests about the community's interest in local governance.The role of Lake Forest For Transparency, which has been controversially buying political ads, possibly funded by "Dark Money." Are these efforts influencing the community improperly?Historical challenges and failures within the caucus, particularly concerning the missing bylaws that were never amended by past presidents like Sheila Henretta, who had the power to make necessary changes but did not.The potential consequences of leadership changes, inspired by similar shifts in neighboring Highland Park, which have led to an environment perceived as anti-business and anti-police.A debate on whether it’s time to hold a referendum to decide if the caucus should still exist, given the current sentiments and changing dynamics within Lake Forest.Pete and Joe also reflect on their personal experiences and frustrations with the caucus system, discussing past leadership failures that have led to today's grievances and the significant influence of local politics on community wellbeing and administrative effectiveness.Join the discussion: What are your thoughts on the Lake Forest Caucus? Should we move towards reforming or abolishing this traditional system to better suit our city's needs today?Key Moments:0:002:23 Show Start2:55 Pete's Hat4:21 Skoo Walker Show foresaw this Caucus stuff happening 3 years ago clip5:08 How Many voters in lake forest6:32 257 people showed up to vote7:12 The Lake Forest Illinois community doesn't care enough about their government to come out to vote reasons why no one cared to come out to vote12:27 Pete's disappointed in Lake Forest Community13:15 Lake Forest For Transparency is buying Political Ads with "Dark Money"14:43 Missing Bylaws mess clip Sheila Henretta Self Proclaimed Caucus Bylaws expert had every opportunity to correct these bylaw issues when she had power as president of the caucus and now she's complaining about them as a member of the lake forest for transparency team?15:20 Have a referendum should we have a caucus in lake forest? 15:42 we had a bad run of lake forest caucus presidents 16:00 These Caucus Issues were pointed out years ago by people who did nothing when they had the chance and authority to fix things16:17 Susan Sailor Daily of the lake forest for transparency group was 1st ward chairman and was offered solutions and did nothing.

Her main goal for starting the practice was to give her patients the type of care that she felt was lacking in the Physical Therapy world, one that focused on providing one-on-one, manual-based therapy and functional exercises. Dahlia graduated from McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1993 with a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy. She has since worked with college football, hockey, and soccer teams as well as semi-pro football teams.Since graduating she has focused on perfecting her skills in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine and has taken several courses in Manual Therapy as well as completing her Manual Therapy Certification through St. Augustine University. She has also finished her level 1 dry needling certification. In 2012 she became a Fellow of Applied Functional Science, a title only held by less than 300 therapists in the world, making her a Movement Specialist and expert on biomechanics, allowing her to find the root of the problem, not just treat the symptoms.As a dedicated clinician she is determined to see every patient get results, feel good about their care, and return back to their normal lives as quickly as possible. As a practice owner her mission is to surround herself with an elite staff of caring and highly trained therapists. Her goal is to build a practice that is highly regarded in the Orthopedic community as well as the community in which the clinics’ serve. Our hope is to also continue philanthropy and give back to the community that has rewarded us with their trust.

Bruno opened his first company in Milan, selling fish and caviar to high-end restaurants. His extensive travels around the world helped him appreciate fine food and design and eventually led him to Chicago in 1999, where he combined his passions. In Chicago, Bruno brought together his vision to marry authentic Italian cuisine with a modern design when he opened his first restaurant Follia, in the meatpacking district and currently, Tocco in Winnetka. The concept was simple, make authentic Italian Cuisine with the finest ingredients and give diners an experience like they were in Italy.

In this shorter clip Mary Cole explains how The Therapeutic Intensive Monitoring (TIM) Unit of Lake County Illinois tries to help people arrested that have mental health issues.https://19thcircuitcourt.state.il.us/1167/Therapeutic-Intensive-Monitoring-TIM-Uni
In July 2005 the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit established the Drug Court component of the Therapeutic Intensive Monitoring (TIM) Court. In January 2007 Mental Health Court was started and in 2011 the Veterans Treatment and Assistance Court was established for veterans. The mission of the TIM program is to reduce crime, enhance public safety and reduce jail populations by providing a comprehensive treatment and supervision plan. Each component of TIM Court has an established multidisciplinary team consisting of treatment professionals, probation officials, judges, assistant state’s attorneys and assistant public defenders.
The Adult Probation’s TIM Unit supervises all clients of Drug Court, Mental Health Court and Veteran’s Treatment and Assistance Court (VTAC). Each Court is assigned a Probation Officer that acts as the TIM Court Coordinator. The TIM Court Coordinator prepares weekly agendas and chairs Mental Health Court, Drug Court and VTAC staffing meetings. Staffing meetings include members from multidisciplinary teams that support each court. Members of the Probation Field Supervision Unit augment supervision in the community to all three courts. The TIM Court Program has received supplemental funding though two SAMHSA grants, one BJA grant, and annual Adult Redeploy grants. Each grant involves significant administrative duties which are managed by Adult Probation staff.https://www.maryforlakecounty.com/https://www.maryforlakecounty.com/donation_front_page

After playing Midget Hockey Steve was invited in 2002 to the Phoenix Coyotes rookie camp where a knee injury took him out of camp. After recovery Steve played for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee while going to school. Steve began coaching during this time and coached multiple teams at Wisconsin AAA as well as the Pettit High School team in Milwaukee. After graduating school Steve was recruited to coach in Barrington Illinois where he became the Asst. Hockey Director of the Barrington Redwings and the Barrington Broncos High School program. Over the 4 years at Barrington High School Steve coached the JV and Asst. Coached the Varsity team. Steve's JV team won the High School State Championship 2 times and had 2 state-runner up finishes in four consecutive years. After Barrington Steve moved on to coach at the Mission AAA program and coached Peewee Majors, Bantam Minors, Bantam Majors and U16s and was runner-up in the National Tournament with the Bantam 99's and a semi-finalist with the Bantam Major 03's. Steve also took over as Director of the Lake Zurich High School hockey program and was able to develop a single team struggling high school program into a three school co-op that was able to field two teams and post impressive finishes in the IHSHL each season. Steve has been the Lake Forest High School Hockey Director and Head Varsity Coach for the past two seasons and the program has taken off since. In his first season the Varsity team won the IHSHL Varsity division league Championship and for the past two seasons the Varsity team has been in the top 15 of the Varsity programs in the state. Steve also took over the reins at the Winter Club as Hockey Director this past November and it has already made a difference for the High School program. The 2020-21 LFHS Scouts will roster three teams and are moving in the right direction for the upcoming years.

In backing Foxx, Lightfoot, Lake Forest Mayoral hopeful Beidler was also boosting daughter-in-law’s career By LGIS News Service
Mar 4, 2023
Lake Forest Mayoral candidate Prudence Beidler made campaign donations to Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot as her daughter-in-law worked in high level positions for both offices.
That’s according to an analysis of public employment and Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE) records.
Deborah E. Witzburg-Beidler, 39, worked as an Assistant State’s Attorney for Cook County from 2008 to 2016 before leaving to join the Chicago Mayor Inspector General’s office.
In Fall 2015, Beidler made a maximum, $5,400 donation to Foxx’s first campaign for Cook County State’s Attorney 2015, while her daughter-in-law worked for the office, ISBE records show.
Her husband, Frank, also donated $1,000 to Foxx that fall.
A former assistant state’s attorney herself who rose to the role of supervisor, Foxx and Witzburg-Beidler worked together for five years, from 2008 - 2013, county records show.
ISBE records show Beidler has been a longtime backer of Foxx-sponsor, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, donating to her campaign 14 times for a total of $9,500.
Preckwinkle hired Foxx as her “Chief of Staff” before positioning her to challenge then-incumbent Anita Alvarez for Cook County State’s Attorney in 2016.
Six promotions
Witzburg-Beidler joined then-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in May 2016 as an assistant inspector general and stayed on when Lightfoot won election three years later.
Her mother-in-law has been a campaign supporter of both Chicago mayors.
Beidler made campaign donations to Emanuel in 2011 and 2013, totaling $2,500. She backed Lightfoot in Feb. 2019 with $1,000, and then, after she assumed office, gave her $1,000 again in June 2019.
According to her LinkedIn page, two months later, Lightfoot promoted Witzburg-Beidler to “acting deputy general counsel for public safety.”
Lightfoot promoted her three more times, naming her as the city’s Inspector General in March 2022.
Last month in an email to supporters, Beidler explained that she made donations to Foxx and Lightfoot because she thought they could "reduce the rate of crime in Chicago."
She didn't mention her daughter-in-law's work with either office.
"My son, his wife, and their two daughters are Chicago residents. In recent years, my husband and I have become increasingly concerned about their safety and I had hoped that candidates I supported might be able to help reduce the rate of crime in Chicago," Beidler wrote.
Beidler is the only Lake Forest resident who has donated for Foxx; she is one of 12 who have backed Lightfoot.
Deborah and Jay married in Boston in 2007. They met while attending Brown University in Providence, R.I.
Witzburg-Beidler attended Northwestern University Law School in Chicago.
Beidler, 77, is challenging Lake Forest Caucus-endorsed Dr. Stanford R. "Randy Tack," 64, in the race for mayor.
Election Day is Tues. April 4.

lakeforestillinois #lakeforestpodcast #lakeforestmayor #randytackformayor Dr. Randy Tack joins Skoo Walker and Pete Jansons on the Lake Forest Podcast to discuss the upcoming Mayoral Election April 4th For The City of Lake Forest Illinois. https://www.tackformayor.com/Non-partisan. Fiscally responsible. Caucus endorsed. Stanford “Randy” Tack will serve all Lake Forest residents. No hidden agendas, no partisanship. He is committed to thoughtful stewardship of the city’s critical assets to drive economic development while respecting historic preservation and the city’s unique character. https://www.tackformayor.com/positionsRandy's Positions Thoughtful stewardship of our critical assets While the current District 115 Capital Improvement Referendum and the Lake Forest Library Capital Improvement Program are not technically within the purview of the Mayor and the Lake Forest Government taxing authority, I believe we need to maintain these critical assets in our community. As the Mayor and leader of the City Council I will work closely with these respective board chairs and members to ensure that we maintain our key legacy assets, and also have the difficult conversations around need versus want, to ensure that all Lake Forest taxpayers feel good about the return on investment from these key strategic capital projects. I promise to take the same approach concerning our vital environment and open spaces, including our Lake Forest Beach, public and private ravine system, historical bridges, roads, and City owned buildings. This is hands-on difficult management and problem solving work, not public private fund raising. I am uniquely qualified to ensure that this is done efficiently and effectively. Non-partisan agenda There is no place for partisan politics within the Lake Forest City Council. I will ensure our city’s leadership remains focused on doing what is in the long term best interests of Lake Forest, and eschews politicization of issues and various political litmus tests. I’m committed to keep city government free of political partisanship. I fully support the Lake Forest Caucus, which has repeatedly fended off initiatives that would bring partisan politics and personal agendas into our local government. Fiscally responsible As Mayor I will maintain the city’s AAA bond rating, continue Lake Forest’s record of maintaining exceptionally strong cash reserves to protect the city’s finances against unexpected major expenditures, continue Lake Forest’s record of generating annual operating surpluses and not running deficits, remain committed to completing the city’s groundbreaking effort to achieve the “flatlining” of Lake Forest’s future pension funding obligations by 2025, and keep Lake Forest Property tax rates the lowest in the northern suburbs. Economic development while respecting historic preservation and the city’s unique character I remain steadfast in our efforts to strengthen our East and West business districts and will work to continue to attract new restaurants and other businesses to both business districts. Maintain a productive working relationship with city staff The central element in collaboration with the city manager and staff is trust. The trust required does not come with the title of mayor. It is based on demonstrated intellectual capacity to understand complex issues, demonstrated performance as an alderman, and demonstrated respect for the skills, abilities, and integrity of the city staff. Trust is also established by a willingness to speak honestly about issues publicly and privately when appropriate. In the absence of trust, collaboration will be superficial and nonproductive, negating the key functions required of both mayor and city manager and staff.

Skoo Walker and Pete Jansons discuss the Lake Forest Caucus Committee and whether it should still exist. Skoo is in Favor of it but the people in the Executive Committee especially the Presidents (Mike Adams, Kim Pfahl David Hunt and soon to be Chris Benes) need to be overseen by the Mayor of Lake Forest to ensure the Caucus Committee is acting in the best interests of Lake Forest Illinois. Pete's view is to pay a little more in taxes to ensure their are professional Human Resource executives conduct professional selection processes so that their are no agenda's to ensure the Best person for the job is selected not the right gender.
Pete and Skoo also discuss the Lake Bluff Illinois on the Chicago North Shore 4th of July Parade and are still considering getting a float.

Arthur Miller talks about earlier 1990s, early 2000s work in Lake Forest by London architect Peregrine Bryant for the LF Bank & Trust buildings on Westminster between Western and Bank Lane, picking up on the style of Market Square, and about Stanley D. Anderson's 1920s-1930 work on Deerpath roughly between the same streets. These broke up the long buildings by compositional variety.

Cindy & Lisa Pasquesi Stopped by to chat with Skoo and Pete. They learned about the Pasquesi Family and the American Success Story that they are!

975 North Shore Dr.
Lake Bluff, IL 60044
847.615.2700
Edward Pasquesi and his wife, Marie, started the business in 1975—evolving from a small hardware store in Highland Park, Illinois into the retail business that is known today as Pasquesi Home and Gardens—which is currently located in Lake Bluff, Illinois. In 1984, they bought an existing farm and feed store in Lake Forest that became Pasquesi Home and Farm Suppliers—at a time when Lake Forest had more open lands and farms. When the garden industry started to expand, the business evolved with the customers’ changing needs. It became Pasquesi Home & Gardens with more emphasis on gardening. Another store in Barrington was opened in 1988. And, in 2006, the Lake Forest store relocated to a new and larger store in Lake Bluff, in order to give customers a better shopping experience. In 2012, a third "small scale" store was opened in downtown Lake Forest selling select plants, home and garden items. Currently, they operate one full-service store in Lake Bluff. (There are some fun historical photos on our Pinterest page.)
The heart of the business grew out of Ed Pasquesi’s early interest in plants and ‘growing living things.’ The retail gardening business gave Ed and Marie an opportunity to create a family business that seeks to provide exceptional customer service to Chicago's North Shore suburbs.
He and his family have been part of the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff community for over 40 years.
Mike Pasquesi joined the family business after college in 1992 as manager of the Barrington store before becoming President and General Manager of Pasquesi Home & Gardens. He sums up his philosophy, “We are always challenging ourselves and looking for ways to improve our business. We will never standstill. We are constantly learning and trying new and different things.”
Cindy Pasquesi Thorsen joined the family business in 1996 as Director of Human Resources with a background in corporate sales and project planning. At Pasquesi Home and Gardens, her work focuses on employee development. “I mainly focus on recruiting and training employees... Great people help create great experiences, and that will keep the customers coming back.”
Lisa Pasquesi came aboard in 2003 with skills in business from the corporate world. She now oversees the Accounting Office and directs the Marketing for Pasquesi’s print and web communications. “My main objective is to keep our name and message out there—and we do this through a variety of marketing efforts that show how we think and believe when it comes to our product selections. We strive to create an experience that people want to repeat.”

Pete Jansons first heard about Joe Severino when Joe spoke up at the last #115 School Board Meeting.
Let's learn about Lake Forest's own Joe Severino for Congress
Joseph (Joe) Severino, a resident of Lake Forest and Greek Orthodox Christian, is happily married to wife Nichole for 18 years. Together they have raised five children (Carmen, Joey, Alexa, Isabella, Arianna). Joe recently celebrated his 26th year in business as a hospitality service leader and is proud to have employed thousands of individuals over his career. The call to service is natural for Joe. In fact, while running his business, Joe went to law school and passed the California “Baby” bar exam for first year law students. Still looking to accomplish more, Joe applied and was accepted to Harvard Business School’s prestigious OPM program. There he studied and graduated with 177 global leaders representing 38 countries. His greatest passion is giving back to the community. Joe started his company with a $1,000 loan from his father and has expertly navigated opportunities. Joe’s mission is to take that experience and create similar opportunities in the district. Joe understands the American dream and his grandparents were immigrants from Greece and Italy, and his father was a Teamster union business organizer for 30 years.
ISSUES:
PRO-LIFEJoe is Pro-life and a believer in the sanctity of life in all stages. Joe would sign the born alive bill that would compel healthcare workers to render healthcare to any baby that survives an abortion.
2ND AMENDMENTJoe supports the second amendment and will fight to prevent illegal use of guns, as well as to take guns out of criminal hands.
FREE SPEECHJoe believes all voices should be heard as free speech is guaranteed by the first amendment in our constitution. Currently there is an effort to stymie and quiet the speech of anyone other than radical ideologists. Additionally, Joe is against the anti-Semitic climate that is growing in America.
POLICE REFORMJoe believes in police reform and opposes defunding police. Police should be better trained and governed with accountability, and they should patrol the communities in which they live. A police officer should feel free to report wrongdoing or abuse of power without fear of retaliation. Further, any officer who refrains from reporting wrongdoing should be terminated and logged in a national database to reinvigorate trust in policing.
EQUAL RIGHTSJoe believes in equal rights for all.
IMMIGRATIONJoe believes in creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants that currently reside here. In addition, Joe believes in encouraging legal immigration which has made us a culturally rich nation.

Lake Bluff resident Scott Spires novel "Abandon All Hope" is coming out soon and he came on the show to tell us all about it. We will update the links as the book hits the market.
HerHere''s some info to "wet your whistle"
Biography
Scott Spires is a writer, a translator, and a nomad at heart. Born in India, he has since enjoyed a transatlantic life, living in the United States, Argentina, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, and Russia. He studied linguistics and Slavic languages at the universities of Chicago, St. Andrews, and Oxford, and works as a translator from Russian and German into English. Currently he lives just north of Chicago in charming and bucolic Lake Bluff, a few minutes walk from Lake Michigan.
As a writer, he has an extensive publication record, which includes academic articles on linguistics, as well as articles on such diverse subjects as the Czech beer industry, the New Urbanist movement in America, minority languages in Russia, and many others. His literary side is manifested in numerous book reviews and short stories. Abandon All Hope is his first novel.
Set in Chicago in 1998 when Clinton was in office, the story evokes such 1990s classics as High Fidelity and Fight Club, our two antiheroes struggle against unsympathetic employers, uncomprehending relatives, meaningless jobs, romantic frustration, and social isolation, all while searching for a life of meaning and purpose, each in his own way. Abandon All Hope is a comic novel of ideas that asks the questions: How do you make your way in a world where stability is illusory, fraud and lies are ubiquitous, and happiness is always elusive? Should you be a realist or an idealist? And how’s life working out for you, anyway?
Hot off the presses!!! The book is out!!!

Jane Addams Notes: Her Birthday is coming up 9-6
Jane Addams had close ties to early LF College, her brother-in-law an early staffer, and nephew an 1893 alum. She recruited here regularly for “residents” at Hull House, and in founding a Hull House clone in Philadelphia drew on a notable LF Univ. then alumna to start it up and do as she had done in Chicago. Anna Freeman Davis, 1889, 1894 MA LFU. Etc.
Also, her big backer with her uncle Hull’s house was real estate tycoon-ess, Helen Culver. In 1900 Culver bought the land for and built the first Waukegan Rd. Estate, her house still on Ash Lawn, west off Waukegan a couple of blocks north of Deerpath. The house was designed by Pond & Pond, the architects at Hull House’s campus—probably much funded by Miss culver. J. Ogden Armour started buying land south in 1904, and A. Watson Armour at Elawa Farm a decade later.

August 18 is Marshall Field's Birthday so Arthur Miller's Art Class will be about Marshall Fields relationship with Lake Forest
Show Notes:
LF has been the home of Marshall Field 5th for many years and now a daughter has a weekend house here as well, a rehabilitated 1911 Shaw mansion.
Marshall Field, I died after a Jan. 1, 1905 or 1906 golf game on the Chicago area, catching a bad cold a third of a century before antibiotics. P.D. Armour had died the same way playing outside with his grandkids five or so years earlier. After Field died, John G. Shedd took over as the second president of the firm, continuing to grow it, including working personally with Edward H. Bennett ca. 1907 on the Walnut Room, with Bennett’s design. Shedd died in the late 1920s, having given LF lakefront homes to two daughters, Mrs. Schweppe on Mayflower and Mrs. Reed, later Keith. Mrs. Reed rebuilt the garden and house, the latter with David Adler. Mrs. Reed also built an indoor tennis court and adjacent living quarters, where they lived while the 1931 Adler house was built. The two sisters donated the 1931 LF Library, in the same cruciform plan as their father’s late 1920s Aquarium, Chicago. When wings were added in 1978, Mrs. Reed’s son, John Sheed Reed, was the donor; he was chair of the Santa Fe RR, then headquartered in Chicago.
Field I had been planning to build a museum downtown for 1893 fair anthropology artifacts, etc. his nephew, Stanley Field, in the cold golf party, inherited the job of creating the museum. After court losses over putting the museum in Grant Park, they created new landfill south of the grant Park landfill, from coal ashes from the Loop, hand shoveled, and built the building, which opened in 1921. Field also built a Lake Bluff lakefront home at the end of today’s Lakeland Rd.
One of the first branch stores of Fields was in the west building facing the park in Market Square, 1931, eventually expanding to take over the whole building. The upstairs by the 1970s was women’s dresses and sports wear. The basement sold linens, etc., and the main floor accessories, cosmetics, and a few men’s clothes. The malls, with a bigger Fields at Hawthorne, cut into that trade in Market Square. By 2006 the Fields successor company, Macy’s, closed most of the store, though kept the cosmetics business as Blu Mercury.

Skoo Walker, Arthur Miller, and Pete Jansons discuss the email Pete sent out 8-10-21 which asked for feedback on the Lake Forest Caucus Committee
Problem: It's becoming harder to find volunteers for the Lake Forest Caucus Committee. (Voting residents of Lake Forest) Invitations to participate are being turned down. No Volunteers means no Caucus committee.
Objections.
- It’s Political with a liberal bent, its groupthink, “Boys Club”, Clique, and “Insiders Only”
- They don’t know what it is, and Current Caucus Committee members cannot overcome objections while explaining what the Caucus is.
Objection #1:
t’s Political with a liberal bent, it’s groupthink, “Boys Club”, Clique, and “Insiders Only”
Possible Reasons:
- The LFCC Executive Committee (LFCCEC) is formed by the LFCC President selecting who she wants for Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Fundraising Chair, External Communications, Internal Communications and the 4 ward chairmen. The Vice President from the prior year automatically becomes the President. It could be perceived that the president can surround herself with people she knows and likes.
- LFCC members are presented with a list of LFCCEC members to vote on in March with no information
- LFCC is a 3-year term for first-year LFCC members who don’t want to “make waves” and vote with who the LFCCEC puts on the card.
- LFCC is a PAC and the LFCC including the LFCCEC cannot explain what it is
- The current LFCCEC President and Vice President are not held to the same attendance standard as the LFCC. School Board Candidates were determined by a Task Force selected by the President versus letting the entire LFCC presenting candidates.
- Cannot afford to make donations (2020 Caucus Committee was asked to donate and would be recognized in front of the Caucus Committee)
Solution:
- The LFCC Executive Committee should be vetted by the LFCC. The LFCC should have a nomination process for all positions in LFCCEC.
- Determine interest within LFCC for each position to be nominated
- Nominees are vetted by LFCC
- LFCC Nominates candidates to be on the election in March
- Positions that handle money should be additionally vetted (Treasurer and Fundraising Chair)
Objection #2: The LFC (residents and small businesses) don’t know what the LFC or LFCC is and LFCC members cannot overcome objections while explaining what the Caucus is.
Possible Reasons:
- Resources are put on dealing with situations after the fact versus preventing them (education public on LFCC process versus spending on lawn signs)
- There is no onboarding process for members
- Bylaws have not been updated for 3 months.
- Cannot explain why it’s a PACT
- The Lake Forest Caucus (The voting residents of Lake Forest) do not understand the selection process for example, one candidate on the “Let’s Do Better” Slate wanted to pitch in and be on the School Board and didn’t know about the Process
Solution:
- More Scrutiny and oversight to External and Internal Communications
- Funds/Marketing for prevention vs Contest Elections.

Arthur Miller during his "Art Class" had Carol Summerfield the Executive Director of the Lake Forest Lake Bluff History Center drop by and discuss: Looking into the history of why folks have moved into the community since the 1830s.
Show Notes:
The early agricultural phase of settlers on the land mostly WEST of Green Bay Rd. Was people coming from Ireland to work on the Illinois and Michigan Canal, that connected Chicago to the Illinois River southwest, leading down the the Mississippi, St. Louis, and New Orleans. Their families stayed on their land and then after the project failed in an 1837 Panic, they lived by farming with wood lots east of Green Bay Rd.
The Chicago group of wealthy entrepreneurs and their families, the Presbyterian Yankees, Scots, and Scots-Irish, came in the late 1850s after the 1854 Cholera epidemic killed 1,500 in the city, but also over anti-slavery politics, so their blue laws did not force pro-anti slavery Germans to join the Pro-slaver Irish, who feared new cheap labor, over Sunday and alcohol rules. (Source: “Bygone Days in Chicago” 1910).
The Chicago Fire, 1871, brought new residents by 1875, over the lawlessness in the wake of the fire (Arpee) and then the 1877 Railroad Strike/riots.
More labor unrest up to 1886 and the culminating Haymarket affair , leading to Ft. Sheridan, 1887, and the thepullman Strike 1894 was the last straw for the McCormicks and others. Then, J. Ogden Armour after a packers strike 1904, he bought his first land that December and his house built by 1908.
Also, the stockyards odors brought folks out by the 1890s seasonally mid-April to mid November when windows might be opened. Winters in Lake Shore Drive apts where lake breezes held off the stench from the yards, worse by Friday’s and Saturday’s (cleaning on Sundays).
By the late 1930s to 1970s, middle class coming out for schools, etc. then after Reagan economics after high taxes, new money took over old houses, restored them. Up to 2008, then quiet for a decade while city life boomed, until the pandemic and looting and the exodus to the suburbs again.

Arthur Miller schools Pete Jansons again in "Art Class"
Here are Art's notes from the show:
- With the 150th anniversary year of the Chicago Fire, in early October 1871. If you want to get a feel for pre-Fire Chicago’s north side of river garden estates district, destroyed the Fire, visit east Lake Forest along Deerpath and Sheridan.
- The earliest institutional building is the March 1859 opened Academy boarding house, built by Sylvester Lind; by 1867 at least this was a private home, moved ca. 1869 to its current location, 725 N. Sheridan Rd. It was later modified ca. 1890 by J. W. Root (Burnham & Root) and by Frost & Granger 1907, but much in its pre-Civil War, pre-Fire condition.
- More like that for 570 and 660 Sheridan, 644 E. Deerpath, 550 E. Deerpath with its stable now north of driveway on Presbyterian Church property. Also 797 Sheridan including 1859 first store, etc.
- Lost, the summer 1871 hotel on the lake, now the location of the newly bought Schweppe house, the last diner served the Sunday night of the Fire. As early college building, 1876-77, it burned December 1877.
- Many families made their way here after the Fire, notably the various Durand siblings in the grocery business. Also livery driver, Union soldier/veteran, and former slave Samuel Dent.

We had Lake Forest Police Commander Craig Lepkowski (congrats on retirement hope it wasn't our fault) on the show a few episodes back and he recommended we bring on Mike Gallo Division Chief of the Lake Forest Fire Department.
"The Firemen are the ones to call when you don't know who else to call for help"
Things the community can do to help out the Fire Department:
- When driving put the phone down, move to the right when they are trying to get through traffic (stay of Deerpath if you can)
- Change the batteries in your smoke detectors 2x a year
- Have an exit plan with a meeting place for your family so when the Fire Dept comes they can account for everyone
Notes:
- Mike has been with the LF Fire Dept. for 27 years! Thank you for your service, Mike!!
- You get as many water calls (Lake) as you do fire calls
- Yes they do get cats out of trees (Right Chuck?), Fawns out of window wells
- Rescue Me is THE BEST show on FIremen Chicago Fire no chance
- Lazy Boy is the preferred sitting apparatus (according to Craig)

John Lazzaretto was an All-State Football Player for the Lake Forest Scouts in the early '70s. He earned a scholarship to play 2 years of football at the University of Georgia for Vince Dooley. He was injured and to move back home. John transferred to play for the University of Illinois and finished his football career there. John played 3 sports and still holds the Illinois High School Record in the 400
The Champaign Gazette is the original All-State recognition for football going back to the 1930s. There have been only 4 Lake Forest High School Football players to receive All-State recognition from the Champaign Gazette. John Lazzaretto was one of the 4 that received this recognition. John is the only one of the 4 Lake Forest Football Players that did not get placed on the Lake Forest High School Wall of Fame.
John Lazzaretto has supported the Lake Forest community for the last 9 years by founding and leading the non for profit Bandits Lacrosse Club which is the feeder team to the Girls Lacrosse Team of Lake Forest High School.
We would like to correct this omission and have John Lazzaretto placed on the Wall of Fame located within Lake Forest High School

Pete and Skoo clear up mistakes (remember we aren't Caucus or City Government Experts) from Friday's show as well as offer up suggestions on how The Executive Caucus Committee can help not have the perception of a friends club or groupthink.
Before the Friday show Pete asked the President of the Caucus Kim Pfahl how The Executive Committee was picked, The answer was. 1) "You raise your hand saying you have an interest" 2) "You go through mentorship for a year" 3) "It's really up to the President and Vice President to decide because it is really their executive committee they want to have and how they want to do it" The answer Pete was given led him to that conclusion of Group Think and Friends Club
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS VOTED ON Pete got that wrong. Pete should have said that the Members who are put on the Ballot for Executive Committee are not vetted or voted on by the Caucus Committee.
The Executive Caucus Committee Candidate's merits were never discussed before the Spring Meeting nor were their qualifications discussed or voted on to be placed on the ballot. Pete never heard anything in his Ward meetings regarding Mentorships, nor was asked if he was interested.
Part of the confusion stems from the bylaws not being updated on the Lake Forest Caucus website. (It's a dead page) Pete was reading the 2016 Bylaws. Here is a clip someone sent us from the updated bylaws in 2020
Section 4.03 Election. Candidates for Officer positions shall be recommended annually for office by the current Executive Committee from among the members in good standing of the Caucus Committee and shall be presented for election at the Spring Meeting.
Does this appear to let the Influence of the Executive Board continue in perpetuity unless the officers are challenged in the one-hour Spring meeting? This gives the perception of a closed vote to be on the Ballot.
It's a process problem.

Tim Newman former Alderman of Ward 2 Lake Forest and former Caucus Committee President stopped by to Chat with Skoo Walker and Pete Jansons.
Quotes:
Tim - "Anybody of consideration can always get caught up in Group Think, perhaps the last School Board election may have been an example of that"
Pete - "How can you not have group think if there is not a system in place for the Caucus Executive Committee? 1) The vice president isn't voted on by the committee 2) THe Vice president is handed the Presidency 3) The Caucus Committee President picks who he/she wants on the Executive committee to surround themselves with.
Tim - "The City of Lake Forest is managing its infrastructure with only 30% of the budget, the rest is for Personnel Costs.
Tim - "for the largest % of the population, they are oblivious to the local government till something affects them"
Topics:
Drainage/Golf Course/Pond project on Deerpath

****Full disclosure Pete Jansons is on the Caucus Volunteer Committee. I am an advocate of the Caucus and am trying to educate the community so we have more people volunteering to pitch in. I am not a Caucus or City Government expert. I do my best to bring on experts to educate all of us. Heads up we will make mistakes on the show and we will not edit our guest's comments. We will post corrections in chat and welcome people to come on the show to correct us. Pete screwed up on the Joanna Marshall show when he said it’s a ward task to interview for school board. It’s a sub-committee of all the wards who do the interviewing. It’s a fine line doing this show offering suggestions for improvement and coming across anti-Caucus. IF we didn’t have the caucus to do the interviewing then we would d have board seats going to the people with the most money. We recently had Lori Fitzgerald and Joanna Marshall apply for Caucus thank you!

Joanna Marshall stopped by to chat with Skoo Walker, Pete Jansons, and new Co-Host Lori Fitzgerald. She talked about her experience running on the contested School Board Slate for District 115
Quotes:
" I will apply for the Caucus next year for Ward 3"
"I'm not anti-Caucus, we are all part of the Caucus"
"who is going to want to volunteer if they have to go through a smear campaign"
Notes:
- Skoo made a suggestion for the School Board vetting to start with the whole Caucus not at the ward level. The thinking is that let the most amount of people get the exposure to the one person versus just 9 people
- Vet donations to Caucus over a certain $ amount
- Cancel Culture
- Paranoid Game YAY/NAY?
I'm sure we got something wrong on this show. Please correct us pete@lakeforestIL.blog

Pete and new CoHost Sasha are joined by GInger to talk about how she was targeted by the Lets Do Better Campaign
Ginger donated $4,000 to the Caucus campaign
Ginger made a late-night Facebook tirade post with questionable language which was screenshotted and sent in a campaign email this past weekend by let's do better.
No donations would have been needed if the opposition candidates operated within the current system in place versus contesting the election because they were not chosen by the Caucus
Some of the quotes on this episode:
"The debate went so horrible by the opposition party, that they had to resort to such tactics"
" I was trying to make a point to spur conversation"
"Listen to the debate and do your own research on who to vote for versus looking at my Facebook post"
