wasn’t supposed to be political, but it was

West Side police district council candidates talk about dealing with objections

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

When West Side activists filed to run for the new police district councils, most of them didn’t expect that someone would try to kick them of f the ballot.

The candidates, who, in the main, had never run for any kind of elected office before, didn’t see the race as political. After all, the police district councils are supposed to serve as liaisons between the community and the police. Wasn’t it supposed to welcome average people who would otherwise never get involved in politics?

“Someone had said to expect it, and I was like – not in this race,” reflected activist Karen Winters, who is running for the 15th District police council. “I didn’t think anyone was going to spend the money.”

But that is precisely what happened throughout the city, including in three out of the four police districts that serve the West Side. While all the candidates in the 15th and 25th districts, which collectively encompass all of Austin, stayed on

Does Chicago have a serial killer?

I’m a news junkie. However, I don’t really watch the news on television. I prefer to use the inter net to browse for stories that catch my attention. And one of the things that has been catching my attention as of late, is the number of dead bodies found in Lake Michigan and to a similar extent, the Chicago River.

Several of the disappearances have a similar background. Th person leaves an event and is allegedly headed home or back to their hotel and the next thing we know they’re found floating in the water. Coincidence? I don’t think so!

JONES

I mentioned this to a Chicago Police Officer the other day. And guess what? The officer literally sat up in their seat and nodded their head in agreement. “I’ve been thinking the same thing,” the officer said. I was given a suggestion to check CPD’s marine unit recovery calls/stats

When I got home that evening, I decided to start Googling the inter net, looking for information on all the dead bodies that have been discovered. To my sur prise, I am not the only person who is curious. There are

several other individuals who have had similar thoughts. One has a bunch of TikTok videos on the subject. Other speculations were by people who wrote reports. The question now is: Does Chicago have a serial killer?

We know from the past, it takes law enforcement a while to start connecting the dots. The leadership of Commander David Brown should be a compelling reason to vote in a new mayor come Feb. 28. How can anybody forgive him for referring to deceased officer Ella French as Ella Fitzgerald? But I digress. Brown either slow to connect the dots, or maybe even hindered from so doing, but I think there are some dots to be connected here.

I hope the families of those found in the lake begin to push publicly for answers. The loss of a loved one is already difficult, but if someone is getting away with murder, that makes it even more horrific.

Lastly, I will state publicly: If I end up in the lake, I am not suicidal. Someone put me there.

Historic Laramie State Bank building could become national landmark

Chicago Landmark Commission sends application up to state lev

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

The Commission on Chicago Landmar voted unanimously Feb. 9 to that Austin’s historic Laramie building, 5200 W. Chicago Ave landmark designation, sending cation to the state level.

The Austin United development which is made up of the Oak Pa Housing Center and Hear tland is cur rently working to redevelop toric bank building into an of fice building with a bank branch, and a new 78-unit, six-story apar tment building with a public plaza on vacant land adjacent to the building. While much of the bank’s ter ra cotta exterior survived, it suf fered from years of deferred maintenance which led to a roof collapse in 2018. Austin United plans to build the new building first and refurbish the historic bank building later.

Athena Williams, executive director of the housing center, said in an email to Austin Weekly News, “Not only do we support the nomination, Oak Park Re gional Housing Center, on behalf of Austin United Alliance spearheaded the request for national landmark status for the Laramie State Bank Building. As you may know, we are in the process of restoring the building to maintain its historic character as par t of the Invest South/West initiative One of the benefits of obtaining national landmark status is that we will be able to utilize the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentive Program, as well as apply to the State Preservation Tax Incentive Program.”

While the bank building is already a city landmark, the national landmark designation would allow Austin United to apply for cer tain grants, quality for tax credits and access services that are currently not available. The Landmark Commission vote sends the application up to the Illinois Historic Sites Advisory Council. The council

will decide whether to send it up to the National Park Service’s National Historic Landmarks Program, which will make the final decision.

Laramie State Bank was founded in 1924 by local banker Carl A. Mueller It originally wrapped around an existing drug store. By 1927, the bank was doing well enough that Mueller commissioned a larger building, the bank building that stands there to this day.

The nomination was submitted by Washington D.C. based MacRostie Historic Advisors, which helps developers obtain historic tax credits. During a Jan. 27 meeting of the landmark commission’s program committee, Matt Wickland, the company’s research consultant, described the building as “perhaps the best example of the Ar t Deco neighborhood bank,” noting that it was built at the time when most banks leaned toward older styles. He also said that it was the only neighborhood bank designed by architects Meyer & Cook, and that Nor thwester n Terra Cotta Company, which designed the exterior ter ra cotta, was so proud of their work that they used it in advertisements

“Laramie Bank remains the fir m’s best and likely only accent Ar t Deco style com-

City of Chicago

mission that is clad in such a colorful ter ra cotta,” Wickland said. “The Laramie bank is also an excellent example of a neighborhood bank in ar t deco style.”

Baxter Swilley, Oak Park Re gional Housing Center’s public relations and le gislative director, read a letter of support from Ald. Emma Mitts (37th), whose ward includes the project site

In her letter, Mitts reflected that, when the Federal Housing Authority was at the site, and for many years while Citizen Bank was open, few African-Americans could even dream of getting mor tg ages

“Now that the low-income families, through a development adjacent to the bank building, will have an oppor tunity to live in a new, high-quality af fordable housing, we must not ne glect to honor the historical jour ney of this impor tant landmark,” she wrote. “And when this building is renovated as a new financial institution that will invest in and support AfricanAmerican residents, I hope that we will preserve the beautiful architecture of the Laramie State building and celebrate the hopes and aspirations of the people who visit it by acknowledging this structure as a local treasure and designating it as a national landmark.”

POLICE C Objections tu from pa

the ballot, two of the candidates trict, which includes most of Nor th Lawndale, were knocke allow the remaining three candidates to win

Austin Weekly News reached candidates who were challeng with the process. Belmont-Cragin was the only 25th District candidate That challenge came from Thomas Simmons who subsequently didn’t respond to a request for comment ther did resident Martin Coffer, who ran for 11th District, and resident Darius Newsom, who is running for the 15th District. The Austin Weekly News was unable 15th District candidate Elena X. Thompson -bounced and the person who responded to this call said it was the wrong number.

The police district councils are part of a broader to improve police accountability. Each of the 22 tricts will get a three-member district council. serving as liaisons, the councils will nominate to a city-wide Community Commission for Public and Accountability, which will select candidates lice superintendent and police oversight of have a role in developing police de par tment policies

Every re gistered voter who lives in the police has a right to challenge any candidate’s nominating tions Each candidate goes before a hearing reviews the case, usually over the course meetings, and issues a recommendation. The three-member Board of Election Commissioners of Chicago decides whether to ag ree with the recommendation or over rule it. That decision can be appealed to the Circuit Cour t of Cook County.

T here were several districts, including the 10th, which includes half of Nor th Lawndale, where no candidate was challenged. Overall, 29 district council candidates faced objections, and 11 of them were kicked of f the ballot.

Two of those candidates ran for the 11th District council, with East Garfield Park resident Jacqueline M. Weatherspoon objecting to both of them. While Coffer was thrown of f the ballot because he didn’t attend the hearings, Tamiko Holt, head of Okimat Construction company, decided to defend her candidacy by trying to collect af fidavits from all of the voters whose signatures were disputed. But the process was dif ficult given the winter weather, and Holt said that, generally, she struggled to navig ate the objection process without an attor ney

“[Candidates like me] don’t have attor neys, but you have those challengers -- where do they get money from to pay for their attor neys?” she mused. “I don’t advise anybody to go up there without an attor ney, especially if

her to win by default.

In an interview with Austin Weekly News, she denied that she objected for her own benefit. Rather, Earls said that, if the candidates didn’t follow the rules, it didn’t bode well for their ability to car ry out their duties as council members.

“I love democracy, I love some competition, but if this is the work product they put out in their names, what’s the work product they’re going to put out in the Austin community?” she said.

All of Earls’ challenges were dismissed because she didn’t follow a proper format for writing objections –and, in Thompson’s case, because she was never properly ser ve d. S he withdrew her o bjection to Wi nters before it c ould go before the election commission.

S he o riginally o bjected to Wi nters’ p etitions because the statement of c andida cy was missing a notary seal, and because the Statement of Economic I nterest didn’t list wh ich of fice she was r unning fo r. Wi nters blamed the er rors on “ove rzealousness t rying to g et the documents in.”

The two women of fered dif ferent versions of what happened. Winters said it was because a friend of hers con-

time to collect as many signatures as he would’ve liked.

Johnson said that, while the election board ruled in his favor, he was frustrated with how much time it took and because he felt that the current process, where anyone living in the district, including one of his opponents, could challenge the petitions, was unfair.

“The process itself -- I think they need to correct it, because, at this point – I was challenged by one of the people who was running for the of fice,” he said. “I think it’s too blatant, because they challenged me on everything. They challenged me on my signature, they challenged me on my notary, they challenged me on how the petition was drafted.”

Instead, Johnson said, he would like the election board itself to review all petitions for any irre gularities – something that would require a change in state law.

“I really don’t believe the Board of Elections is doing their job, because they don’t review the papers [the candidates] tur n in,” he said.

Earls said she was “really disappointed” that the election board dismissed her objections without considering their merits.

“The sad part about it, the board didn’t care,” she said. “They allowed them to be on the ballot anyway I think every candidate who was knocked of f who was similarity situated, should sue.”

West Side basketball tournament teaches voting fundamentals

Balling with the Vote tournament allowed young people

to engage in civic education, voter registration

By SHANEL ROMAIN Community Narrative Reporter

On Feb. 10, community members gathered at Michele Clark High School, 5101 W. Harrison St., for the Balling with the Vote three-onthree basketball tour nament. The teams featured players from the West and South sides.

“Our goal is to create an opportunity for community healing and to foster an environment for young people to lear n more about civic engagement,” said Griffen Saul, the founder of Youth Organizing Until Trauma Heals (YOUTH), a youth advocacy organization.

alder man and supporter, said the event was also about educating young people on the new police oversight councils that the city is creating

“With the kids, you have to do something

that captures their attention spans,” he said. “That’s where the idea of the tour nament came from. We invited our candidates to show their face and let them know it’s fun to vote.”

Dion Ranson, a South Side student, said he attended the tour nament to help a relative who is one of the event organizers. Ranson said he ended up lear ning about civics, too

“I asked a couple of questions at the tables and found out more information about voting,” Ranson said. “I just tur ned 18 and I registered as soon as I could. I want to become more aware of what is going on in my community and lear n more about the candidates and more about the voting process in general.”

Srdjan Majdov, a Michele Clark civic teacher, said the basketball tour nament also

exposed young people to different networks and neighborhood groups.

“And also, most specifically, we have elections coming up,” he said. “We want them to be aware of how participating in something like that is very important for the future of their communities because they have an opportunity to meet people who are running. They can also register to vote on the spot here.”

Madison Williams, a 17-year-old Westinghouse student, explained the importance of voting.

“I think voting is very important,” she said. “When people don’t have the right to vote, it causes a lot of changes that could be prevented. Re gistering to vote is one of the things I most look forward to doing when I tur n 18.”

LaVerne Hill’s love a air with Austin

By SHANEL ROMAIN Community Narrative Reporter

Recently, LaVerne Hill, 80, of Austin, spoke to Austin Weekly News about why she loves the community so much.

What do you love about Austin?

I love the c ommunity. I remember when my husband and I b ought our homes. Th e Realtor told us, “Whateve r you do, ke ep and maintain your property because yo u remember the slo g an? ‘The Great West Side?’ It ’s going to c ome back, we are going to be the Great West Side again, so I remember that.” Th at was a memorable statement. That was over 42 years ago.

On changes in the community

Right now, we ’re becoming i nte gr ated W hen we first move d i nto the neighbo rhood there we re C aucasians but as we move d in they be g an to move out. Now, they ’re c oming back in and I think it ’s because the properties are increasing in value and p eople are t rying to maintai n their property and ke ep it up. Th at ’s a b enefit and blessing to us. I appreciate that.

On housing in Austin

They could do better. We had some abandoned buildings [on our block] and when the building is abandoned it depreciates our community, but now they are being rehabbed and built back up. But there are still too many abandoned buildings and homelessness in our community We can do better

On her expectations of local politicians and how crime has affected her

I would like for them to focus on homelessness, because it’s sad to see so many people without housing. It’s so many. And then crime. Crime is sad. The crime statistics between our young Black people is sad. I heard someone say that mothers shouldn’t be burying their children, it should be the other way around. I lost a son 25 years ago to gun violence. He was coming home from colle ge from Malcolm X and he was shot. His laptop was taken, so I’ve been a victim of gun violence. Now, it’s just ridiculous.

There’s a scripture in the Bible that says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” [Proverbs 29:2] In other words, when there’s a righteous person in office, we flourish.

101-year-old Austin resident ‘virtual’ guest of Cong. Davis at State of the Union

Drummond a founder of South Austin Coalition Community Council

By AUSTIN TALKS Reporting Partner

Longtime Austin resident Lillian Drummond was a “virtual” guest of Cong. Danny K. Davis at last week’s State of the Union address.

Although Drummond, a co-founder of the South Austin Coalition Community Council (SACCC), was not able to travel to Washington, D.C., to attend President Joe Biden’s annual address in person, she took part over Zoom instead. She may be the oldest State of the Union guest in U.S. history.

Drummond has distinguished herself as a community activist in many battles for justice. She was active and working into her 90s, advocating for social causes like utility reform

“I have known Mrs. Drummond for

more than three decades, working on the battlefield,” Davis said in a statement. “As a member of the Committee of Ways and Means with oversight over Social Security, it is my honor to invite her to participate in the State of the Union to hear how under President Joe Biden’s leadership, Democrats will always defend Social Security and Medicare.”

When Drummond was 95 she was honored by the city of Chicago by renaming a street in her name. The corner of Congress Parkway and Leamington Avenue is now known as Lillian Drummond Parkway. Her Congress Parkway home is just a few houses down from her renamed street.

“It feels real good to be honored,” Drummond said in a statement. “I have known the cong ressman for a real long time. He is always thinking about and talking about me being involved, and it is a great honor to be honored by him. The Social Security increase of 8.7% is important, but we need more money. The last thing Congress needs to do is cut Social Security and Medicar What will we live on?”

holiday. The event was sponsored by Black Men United (BMU), a national community service org anization “that focuses the restoration and rebuilding of Black communities across America under the leadership of Black Men,” according their website.

The org anization par tnered with 29th Ward Ald. Chris Taliafer ro, the nonprofit World Vision and the 15th District police district.

“We’ re par tnering with Black Men United to give out fu ture, household items and anything that we believe the community needs,” said Taliafer ro. “BMU has done this type event for a long time and it was good to work with them residents in the community.”

During the event, community members were given ra tickets When their numbers were called they picked out fur niture of their choosing. The furniture was donated World Vision. The org anizers said they helped about 300 fami lies during Saturday’s giveaway

“I have a large family, including six children and it’s like star ting over in life,” said Yolaunda Reed, who received some fur niture on Saturday. “I’m happy and I feel so blessed. I didn expect this because I never win raffles.”

Sean Smith, a 30-year-old Austin resident, won a raffle chose a dining set for his home

“We just moved to the area and we don’t have a dining room table, so this will be perfect for my mom and siblings and I,” Smith said. “I feel great, excited and blessed. I saw the flyer on Facebook and I was praying I win something and I did.”

SHANEL ROMAIN/Sta e Valentine’s extravaganza attracted at least 300 families to the 15th police district on Saturday, Feb. 11.

Trio of 29th Ward alder candidates make their cases

Safety, education, development top lists

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Austin Talks

All three candidates on the ballot for the 29th Ward alder manic seat shared their key priorities for the ward during a for um on Feb. 4.

Incumbent Ald. Chris Taliafer ro and community development manager Core y Dooley said economic development, public safety and education are priorities for the ward.

CB Johnson, a longtime community org anizer, said he would seek the community’s input to identify the ward’s priorities, adding the last strategic plan in Austin dates to 1995. Later in the for um, Dooley said he was sur prised Johnson did not know about the five-year qualityof-life plan created in 2019 by Austin Coming To g ether.

Housing was among the most discussed topics with questions covering af fordable housing, rent controls, home ownership and measures to ensure absentee landlords keep up proper ties they own.

Taliafer ro said he suppor ts laws to control rent prices and will continue to work toward building af fordable housing and increasing pathways to home ownership. He also said he suppor ts requiring inspections of proper ties owned by people outside the community and meeting with owners to ensure they provide decent living conditions

Dooley said homeownership is the key to wealth, proposing ordinances that allow community members to develop small lots, as well as creating renter councils and capping rent increases to maintain af fordable housing. He also said he would push to sanction owners who don’ t live in the community and don’ t maintain their proper ties.

Johnson said he would call absentee landlords to the table and teach residents about home ownership and real estate

Tensions rose when Dooley said he reached out to Taliafer ro before announcing his candidacy to the 29th Ward and didn’t get any response

“For a young man who’s wanting to change the nar rative, I would’ve taught that the leader of my ward would’ve at least invested in me and at least called me,” he said.

Taliafer ro responded he had not seen or heard Dooley’s name until he announced he was r unning but apologized for not calling him back . Another issue where candidates expressed varying opinions was how they would address the opioid overdose crisis Johnson said for the last 30 years he has worked with the nonprofit Campaign For a Drug Free Westside to prevent substance abuse But during the pandemic, many people relapsed because they lacked the support they needed while being isolated.

Taliafer ro said he co-sponsored a

resolution in the Chicago City Council to “star t conversations” about opening safe-consumption sites on the West Side, as proposed in the Illinois Le gislature by state Re p. La Shawn K. Ford. On Feb. 1, Taliafer ro was one of the sponsors of a resolution calling on the Illinois General Assembly to approve le gislation to allow community-based org anizations and healthcare providers to operate overdose prevention sites

Dooley said he worked with the West Side Heroin/Opioid Task Force to look into the causes of opioid use “It is happening because we have untreated trauma,” he said stressing the need for mental health services as a way to reduce drug use.

Lisa Brown Newman, who is not on the Feb. 28 ballot as she did not re gister as a candidate for the 29th Ward before the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, also participated in Saturday’s for um.

On flyers posted on her Facebook page and pamphlets distributed at the event,

she encourages voters to write in her name on the ballot. According to the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, write-in candidates are not re gistered before the board, but voters can write in a candidate’s name “if there is a write-in space for that of fice” or the option is provided on electronic ballots

Among other remarks, Newman said one of her priorities is to increase residents’ disposable income. She said she “believes if the police do their job [and] they clean up the streets,” the opioid crisis can be resolved. When asked about her experience working with youth, she said she would like to “spark a movement” encouraging young people “to pull their pants up.”

West Side resident Chris Thomas, founder of the nonprofit YourPassion1st, said the for um was a good oppor tunity to hear the candidates’ perspectives.

“I really enjoyed the diversity of thinking,” he said. “I appreciate the conversation about these impor tant topics.”
