failed to meet the criteria necessary
to warrant the name changes
"I have carefully reviewed and
evaluated the information submitted
to me regarding the three proposed
name changes, and I have recom
mended that we make no changes
I do not feel that I could justify te
commending any changes within
the guidelines of the policy, as it is
I feel very strongly that the integrity
of my role as an administrator
requires a clear and consistent apple
cation of policy," Williams said
Commissioner Mike Linberg. who
is in eftarge of the Buieau of Parks
and Recreation, accepted Williams
recommendation not to rename the
three parks in question
Linberg and Williams both agreed
that there are deficiencies in tho Bu

superintendent, I am requesting
that the Park Bureau develop a new.
comprehensive memonali/ation po

Terrific Kids
Children are subject to many
influences outside their homes, but
parents have the most lasting influ
once
To avoid asking yourselves
Where did we go wrong?' here
are 10 ways that parents can in
crease the odds of turning out kids
who ate happy, responsible, mde
pendent
1 Love them .
Believing they
ate not loved is one of the primary
reasons teens give for running
away, attempting suicide, abusing
drugs and getting pregnant.
In
homes where love is routinely
shown, kids are secure and exhibit a
deeper trust in their parents and, as
a result, in themselves
2 Build
their
self esteem .
Show your children you are proud
of them. Without positive feelings
about themselves, children do not
grow academically, socially or per
sonally
3 C hallenge th em . Kids who
succeed are those who are encou
raged to do their best, who are sop
ported in trying new things, who are
taught to learn from their mistakes.
But remember to encourage them
to set goals equal to their talents
not your dreams.
4 Listen to them
Listening
that is nonjudgmental, understan
ding and total may be the best gift
of love you can give your children.
5 Expect respect
Disrespect
to parents or siblings has no part
in a loving home. But to get re
spect, you must show your children
respect It's not a one way street
6 L im it th e m . Limits provide
children with security while they ex
penrnent with values and lifestyles
7. M a k e God a part of their
lives
Grace before meals and at
tendance at church as a family aro
ways to assure young people that
life's principles go beyond the gol
den rule
8 D evelop a love of learning.
Encourage curiosity and nurture
creativity. Help children establish
consistency in their study and work

Opposition to renaming Irving
Park came from Irvington Commu
nity Association and from South

ranatha Church and Sabin Neigh

they felt the process was not appro
priate, because it did not involve
the neighborhood associations

to themselves or others
