Betty Loren-Maltese is in Oak Park
by Ed Vincent
When I first met Betty Loren-Maltese, who
invited us to call her "Betty" I was impressed. She is an
attractive woman with an engaging smile and a frankness in discussion
that is refreshing.
She told us that it is a real treat being out a jail and the confinement she
has endured. She has seen her daughter Ashleigh recently and
hopes to see more of her soon. She has been away from her
daughter the majority of the young girl's life and with more time
perhaps things will get back to a better and closer relationship with
her daughter.
Betty has many friends in the area. On the night we went to Salerno's Pizza in Oak Park (at 7128 Roosevelt Road, just a block east of Harlem Avenue) we met a 98 year old woman with a cane who had come to visit Betty from the British Home in the next suburb. There were many such visits that night and many more to come given the interest in Betty. The restaurant has had call after call from folks wanting to know if Betty was working that night. Many folks after hearing that Betty was there came in with their families.
The restaurant was as busy as it can get with folks waiting a half an hour to get a seat, and the food was delicious, the pizza great. This little area of Oak Park is doing well, with no apparent recession. Betty and I discussed the old issue of whether or not Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park or Cicero and she did confess at the time it was called Cicero township but that now it is in Oak Park. I don't know if that was a condition of her getting a job in Oak Park or not.

Betty also still has a strong interest in
politics and does not agree with the current President of Cicero Larry
Dominick, he's spending too much money and for the wrong
things. She is currently prohibited from running for office
because of her being conviceted of felony. Laws can change and if
Saint Vincent de Paul, who was once a horse thief, can become a
Saint why not Betty? or at least an
elected official........
This was her second night on her feet, the first night she wore flats and her back was killing her. Tonight she had elevated heels, giving her an additional couple of inches in height and perhaps less stress on her back she hoped..if not tomorrow she might wear gym shoes.
She's a popular gal who has served her time and we wish her the best for the future. After those years behind bars she looks better than ever, so if you're a single gent and want some great Italian food come see Betty. She is currently working on Wednesdays through Sundays starting at 4:00pm. You can also come with your family.....
