2012 CeaseFire Week in Cicero Reminds Us 

that Cicero is Winning the War on Gangs 

When Cicero Town President Larry 

Dominick took office in 2005, 

he made fighting the scourge of 

gangs — and the violence and 

drugs that come with them — a top 

priority of his administration. The 

annual CeaseFire Week in Cicero 

has become a shining example of 

the success of President Dominick’s 

anti-gang efforts. 

This year, President Dominick was 

joined by Town officials, members 

of Cicero’s law enforcement 

community, representatives from 

Corazon Community Services and 

CeaseFire for this year’s CeaseFire 

Week in Cicero, running from June 

18th through June 22nd. 

Sponsored each June by President 

Dominick and the Town of Cicero, 

CeaseFire Week reinforces to Cicero 

children that gang life is a dead 

end through featuring positive, 

youth-oriented programs including 

soccer, volleyball, softball and 3-on-3 

basketball tournaments, as well as a 

“family fun festival” and movie in the 

park night. 

Stay Active Be Healthy: Cicero Hosts Event to

Town President Larry Dominick

young and old, lives a healthy and 

full life. 

With that in mind, President 

Dominick was joined by the

The Cicero Town News July 12

From the President’s Desk 

by Cicero Town President Larry Dominick 

Dear Cicero residents, 

I want to thank everyone who helped 

put on yet another exceptional 

CeaseFire Week in Cicero. 

With this year’s CeaseFire week in 

Cicero, it’s a good time to reflect on 

just how far we’ve come in recent 

years in stemming the tide of gang 

violence and the drug trade on our 

streets. Our pro-active policing 

methods, along with the advent 

of the Gang Crimes Tactical Unit, 

diversion programs to help reclaim 

young kids from the clutches of the 

nefarious gangs, and communitycentered 

Town programming to 

provide our children alternatives to 

the gang lifestyle and demonstrate 

that making that choice is choosing a 

dead-end life are all helping us to win 

the war on the gangs. 

When I took office as Cicero Town 

President, I made fighting back 

against the gangs a top priority 

of my administration. One of 

the fundamental core duties of 

government is to provide for public 

safety. And, there can be no public 

safety with street gangs running the 

streets. 

In the year before I took office in 

2005, there were 14 gang-related 

homicides in Cicero. Last year, thanks 

to our policing and community 

engagement strategies, there wasn’t 

a single gang-related homicide in our 

Town. Not one. 

Similarly, crime statistics are down 

across the board. This is a clear 

testament to what we can accomplish 

when we are working together to build 

a New Cicero that is free from the threat 

of gangs and the violence they bring 

with them. 

+++++ 

With the return of the beautiful 

summer weather, that means it’s 

time once again for the return of the 

Summer in the Park Festivals. 

This year, we’ll be hosting the Summer 

in the Park Festivals events on Mondays 

in the courtyard at Cicero Town Hall, 

with the Wednesday and Sunday events 

being held at the beautiful Cicero 

Community Park at 34th and Laramie. 

It’s always fun to enjoy the beautiful 

weather with everyone, so I look 

forward to seeing you out there. These 

kinds of community togetherness events 

are an important part of our town, and I 

hope that you’ll enjoy them throughout 

the summer! 

+++++ 

With the weather heating up, it’s 

important to remember to stay cool. To 

make sure that everyone can, the Town 

has set up cooling centers for everyone 

to beat the heat. 

The Cicero Public Safety Building is 

open every day until 4pm, the Cicero 

Community Center is open every 

day until 8pm, and the Cicero Police 

Headquarters and the Cicero SOS 

Headquarters are both open 24-hours 

a day. 

As the weather heats up, please be 

mindful of your neighbors, particularly 

our senior citizens. Be a good neighbor 

and check in on our Town’s seniors to 

make sure that they are staying cool. 

July 12 The Cicero Town News 

It’s just something we can all do to help 

one another in the New Cicero. 

+++++ 

With 4th of July weekend approaching, 

it’s almost time for Cicero’s Annual 

American Fest. 

Our Town has become known for 

exceptional festival celebrations, and 

American Fest is no different. On July 

6th-8th, we’ll all gather at 34th & 

Laramie to celebrate the freedoms and 

all enjoy by virtue of being Americans. 

We’ll hear great music from Jim Peterik 

and The Ides of March, HiFi Superstar, 

The Meteors, and many other great 

musical acts. We’ll also have a special 

appearance by Chicago Blackhawks 

legends Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Tony 

Esposito, and Denis Savard, who will be 

signing autographs and taking pictures 

at the Bobby Hull Cicero Community Ice 

and Roller Rink. 

And then, of course, there’s the great 

food, the carnival games, the fun and 

exciting rides and much, much more. 

I look forward to seeing you out there! 

Sincerely, 

Larry Dominick 

Cicero Town President 

P.S. As always, please feel free to contact 

me with concerns, questions, comments or 

suggestions at larry@thetownofcicero.com. 

Thank you.

Dominick, Cicero Celebrate Puerto Rican Day in Cicero 

The Town of Cicero celebrated Puerto Rican heritage and the contributions of Puerto Ricans to the rich history and 

heritage of the Town of Cicero, and the United States, on June 14th at the Town’s annual Puerto Rican Day ceremony. 

“Our Town has a rich mixture of immigrants, different cultures, and different backgrounds, that all come together 

to make up one of the most diverse and interesting communities anywhere in the United States,” said Cicero Town 

President Larry Dominick. “The Puerto Rican community in Cicero is strong, and each year, we are proud to honor their 

heritage and the important part they play in the New Cicero.” 

In honor of the declaration of Puerto Rican Day in Cicero, the Puerto Rican flag was raised to fly over Cicero Town Hall. 

Special thanks goes out to Cynthia Salvino for her hard work in organizing this years celebration.

the best and most healthy food choices, picking activities that are fun and beneficial to living a healthy lifestyle — 

such as soccer, frisbee, rugby, or joining the Cicero Bike Club — and instruction in tai chi. 

The Cicero Health Department also regularly offers important health and welfare services at free or reduced prices 

to Cicero residents. Cicero Health Department rivals any in the Chicagoland area in both array of services and in 

value provided to residents. 



Summer in the Park Festivals Kick-off Summer of Fun in Cicero 

Part of building President Larry Dominick’s vision for the “New Cicero” meant providing new public green spaces where 

families could gather and spend time with each other and with their neighbors. 

One of those new spaces that has been realized under President Dominick’s leadership is the Cicero Community Park at 34th 

and Laramie. And, every summer, that Park is home to Cicero’s annual Summer in the Park Festivals. 

The Summer in the Park festivals annually feature family-friendly programming, such as movies, seasonal festivals and 

celebrations, an eclectic selection of live music performances from all genres and styles, comedy shows, and much, much 

more. 

“It’s important that Cicero families have a place where they can gather and have fun,” noted Dominick. “Cicero Community 

Park is one of those places and the Summer in the Park Festivals ensure that there is always something fun and interesting 

happening in Cicero that adults and children alike can enjoy.” 

This year, Summer in the Park Festival events will be held on Monday evenings in the courtyard at Cicero Town Hall, with 

Wednesday and Sunday events being held at Cicero Community Park. 

“These events are always a lot of fun, and I really enjoy the opportunity to spend a beautiful summer evening with my family 

and with all the Cicero families who come out to enjoy them,” said Dominick.

2012 CeaseFire Week in Cicero Reminds Us that Cicero is 

Winning the War on Gangs 

At the kickoff ceremony and press conference, President Dominick accentuated how his anti-gang strategies have 

made Cicero a safer place. In the year before Dominick took office, there were 14 gang-related homicides in Cicero. 

Thanks to innovative new policing strategies and the advent of the Gang Crimes Tactical Unit, last year Cicero 

saw zero gang-related homicides. This was one factor in House Hunt, Inc., one of the largest online real estate 

operations, to naming Cicero one of the Top 20 Safest Cities in American in 2011. 

Since Cicero is leading the way in fighting gangs and gang violence, Dominick extended an offer to Chicago Mayor 

Rahm Emanuel to help with the city of Chicago’s surging gang problems. 

“What happens in Chicago impacts the Town of Cicero and all of the neighboring suburbs,” said Dominick. “So, if 

Chicago is more successful in combatting gangs then suburban communities will be safer, too. That’s why I want 

to offer to a hand of assistance to Mayor Emanuel, so that he can learn about what we’ve been doing here in Cicero 

that has been so successful in taking the fight to the street gangs — and winning.” 

This year’s CeaseFire Week in Cicero, just like all the others, ended with the annual Peace March through the streets 

of Cicero. 

“Our presence in the streets reminds these gangs that the streets belong to us, not to them,” noted Dominick. “They 

are reminded every time they see our increase police patrols, our Save Our Streets Task Force, our social service 

programs like Corazon and CeaseFire, and especially our great citizens out in our streets, that these streets are going 

to be a place of peace and community and not hubs of drugs and violence.” 

Dominick thanked everyone who was involved in planning this year’s CeaseFire Week in Cicero, especially the 

Town’s Police and Fire Departments, the Gang Crimes Tactical Unit, the S.O.S. Task Force, Corazon Community 

Services, and CeaseFire Cicero.

Cicero Hosts Inaugural Pet Parade as Part of CeaseFire Week 



Cicero Town President Larry Dominick, along with the Cicero Town Board and the Town’s Waggin’ Tails Animal 

Shelter hosted the inaugural Pet Parade at Cicero Community Park. The event was held as a part of Cicero’s annual 

CeaseFire Week, an anti-gang and pro-community week held every year to provide positive, family-oriented 

programming to stress the importance of Cicero’s young people steering clear of the dead-end life of gangs and 

drugs. 

The first ever Pet Parade saw many of Cicero’s furry friends dressed up in their favorite costumes, and paraded by 

their owners in a special showcase. 

Waggin’ Tails Shelter and the Town’s Department of Animal Welfare is another department and set of Town services 

that has been expanded under Town President Larry Dominick. Cicero’s Animal Welfare Department regularly 

provides free pet microchipping services, services to help locate lost pets, wildlife trapping, and pet-give up 

assistance for owners who can no longer properly care for their pets. 

Cicero’s Waggin’ Tails Shelter always has a great selection of furry friends who are looking for a good home. So, 

remember, the next time that you are looking for a new pet — don’t shop, adopt from Cicero’s Waggin’ Tails Shelter.

Banquet Honors Contributions of Cicero’s Parent Patrol 

It’s a testament to what can begin with just a few people and a desire to make a difference. 

Cicero’s Parent Patrol began as just five parents from Unity School, concerned for the welfare of their Town and 

wanting to do what they could to make a difference. Those five parents began to help monitor the streets as 

children were on their way to and from school, helping to ensure that their commute was safe and free from gang 

influence. 

Today, the Cicero Parent Patrol boasts more than 100 members who are always noticeable in their yellow shirts or 

yellow ponchos. Thanks to the dedication of Cicero parents, there are now Cicero Parent Patrol groups that help 

watch over Wilson, Unity, Warren Park, Columbus East, Roosevelt, Goodwin, Lincoln, Liberty, Burnham, McKinley, 

Cicero East, and Cicero West schools.” 

“These parents who make up the Cicero Parent Patrol are a shining example of how the New Cicero works together 

to build a better and safer community for our young people,” said President Dominick. “They provide the perfect 

citizen compliment to our enhanced police patrols and other anti-gang, pro-public safety initiatives run by the 

Town.” 

“The Cicero Parent Patrol reminds us that there is no limit to what we can accomplish when we work together 

towards a better future.” 

Cicero Designates Gethsemane Lutheran Church a Historial Site During 

Their 100th Anniversary 

Cicero has a rich and diverse cultural heritage. One of the ways that this rich 

heritage is represented is in the history of the Town’s houses of worship. 

Recently, Cicero Town President Larry Dominick and the Cicero Town Board 

honored one of those long-standing churches — Gethsemane Evangelical 

Lutheran Church at 1937 South 50th Avenue — with a designation as a 

historical site as the church marked it’s 100th anniversary. 

Gethsemane began its life in a store front room at 5129 West Cermak Road 

in Cicero when twelve people met there for a Lutheran worship service on 

March 24th, 1912. On June 30th, 1912, Gethsemane Evangelical Lutheran 

Church was officially organized as a congregation. This year, the church and 

it’s congregation celebrate 100 years as a important and vital part of our 

Cicero community. 

“Our strong faith communities are an extremely important part of the 

fabric of the ‘New Cicero,’” said President Dominick. “I want to personally 

congratulate Gethsemane Lutheran Church and Pastor Diane Johnson as 

they mark 100 years serving Cicero’s faithful citizens and enriching our 

community.” 

Trustees Dennis Raleigh, Victor Garcia and Larry 

Banks along with Town Clerk Maria Punzo-Arias 

look on as the Historical Marker is unveiled.

Summer is here and kids are out 

of school! That means families 

are spending time outdoors, 

enjoying the beautiful summer 

weather. However, when we are 

spending time outdoors, we 

need to consider the hidden 

danger of sun damage. 

Skin cancer is the most common 

type of cancer in the U.S. and UV 

rays from the sun are the 

primary cause. Melanoma, the 

most serious type of skin cancer, 

will account for more than 

75,000 cases of skin cancer in 

2012. 

These are some common causes 

of skin cancer: 

-Unprotected and/or excessive 

exposure to ultraviolet (UV) 

radiation (sunlight or tanning 

booths) 

-Pale complexion (difficulty 

tanning, easily sunburned, natural 

red or blonde hair color) 

-Occupational exposures to coal, 

tar, pitch, creosote, arsenic 

compounds, or radium 

-Skin cancer running in the family 

-Multiple or unusual moles 

-Severe sunburns in the past 

Now that you know the causes, 

make sure to avoid long 

exposure to intense sunlight and 

practice sun safety. 

Try to avoid the sun 

between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 

Seek shade: Look for shade,

especially in the middle of 

the day when the sun’s rays 

are strongest. 

Slip on a shirt: Cover up 

with protective and 

comfortable clothing to 

guard as much skin as possible 

when you are out in the 

sun. 

Slop on sunscreen: Use 

sunscreen and lip balm with 

a sun protection factor (SPF) 

of 15 or higher. Apply a 

generous amount of 

sunscreen (about a palm full) 

and reapply every 2 hours 

after swimming, toweling 

dry, or sweating. 

Slap on a hat: Cover your 

head with a wide-brimmed 

hat, shading your face, ears, 

and neck. 

Put on sunglasses: Wear 

sunglasses with 99% to 100% 

UV absorption to provide 

optimal protection for your 

eyes and the surrounding 

skin. 

Follow these practices to protect 

your skin even on cloudy or 

overcast days, because UV rays 

travel through clouds. Avoid 

other sources of UV light, which 

may come from tanning beds and 

sun lamps. If you practice these 

rules for sun safety, you will be 

protecting your skin from cancer. 

So, get ready for summer by 

staying safe and protecting your 

skin. You can still have fun in the 

summer sun, as long as you 

remember these safety measures!

Ask Dr. Ron... 

Q: I have a stabbing pain in my back with 

a burning pain in the back of my leg 

and calf. Is this "Sciatica", and what 

exactly is "Sciatica"? 

Dr: Sciatica is the name for the inflammation and 

irritation of the Sciatic Nerve that courses 

through the tissues of the buttocks and legs. 

It is a large nerve about the size of your 

little finger. When pressure or irritation affects 

the Sciatic nerve it will cause symptoms into 

the buttocks and legs such as numbness, 

tingling, burning pain, sharp pain, or weakness. 

Sciatica is commonly caused by pressure on 

the nerves exiting the spine (Pinched Nerve) 

or muscles that are tight and squeeze the nerve. 

Because a pinched nerve can be caused by 

several factors it is very wise to seek medical 

care to rule out any Disc herniations or severe 

spinal arthritis. Active therapy in my office is 

extremely helpful in reduction of symptoms 

and possibly even healing the Sciatica.

Step3: Get Healthy 

Q: My shoulder hurts when I reach into 

the cupboard for items or when I reach 

out my arm for anything. 

What do you think? 

Dr Because the shoulder is an extremely mobile 

joint a thorough evaluation must be done to 

properly diagnose any pain. A very common 

cause of shoulder pain is a Rotator Cuff 

Impingement. This happens when the rotator 

cuff muscle becomes irritated from repeat use 

or an abrupt injury. The irritation then becomes 

worse as the muscles and tendons continue to 

be used. The muscle actually becomes 

pinched between two bones in the shoulder. 

This type of pain can begin as a slight pain 

but can quickly escalate to severe pain and 

possible damage to the rotator cuff muscle. 

Physical therapy can greatly increase the 

health of the shoulder. If physical therapy is 

started early the problem can resolve completely.
