Northwest Incinerator focus of deep reporting City Bureau reporters are seeking community participation as they explore neglected industrial site By Martha Bayne City Bureau

Our team of four City Bureau reporters — Martha Bayne, LaCreshia Birts, Darien Boyd, and Amber Nunez Colon — is focusing this spring on the site of the former Northwest Incinerator and the neighborhoods surrounding it. We are intrigued that, despite the great deal of attention focused on the incinerator while it was active between 1971 and 1986, and its proximity to residential neighborhoods, community knowledge about this industrial site on the border of West Humboldt Park and Austin is so fractured. What it was once, what it is now, and what it could be in the future is, to many we spoke with, a source of mystery, confusion, or simply ancient history. This spring we’re meeting with local groups and other stakeholders to explore not just the site itself, but what it means to shape future development, who gets that access, and how it might be expanded. To start off we’ll share five things we’ve learned so far.

Residents vent frustrations with CTA over artist pick Some say Erin Curtis’ artwork is too abstract for Kedzie/Lake Green Line By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

After the Chicago Transit Authority introduced Erin Elizabeth Curtis at May 9 community meeting held at the Garfield Park Fieldhouse, 100 N. Central Park, the reaction from the audience was overwhelmingly skeptical.

Curtis is the artist who has been commissioned by the CTA to create new public art for the Kedzie/Lake Green Line ‘L’ Station. Born in Albany, New York, Curtis has an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin and has had numerous large shows in Texas. Much of her work is abstract and composed of bright acrylic patterns. Many of the residents who spoke at the

meeting felt that Curtis’ focus on abstract art wasn’t right for the community and that they wanted an artist whose depictions were more realistic. They also took issue with the CTA having selected an artist outside of Chicago and one who they felt hasn’t done enough to reach out to art-

Cop shot in vest on West Side Loyola physician says the vest saved the officer’s life By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A Chicago Police officer was struck in his safety vest during a shootout that happened on May 12 at around 2:30 p.m. on the 4600 block of West Maypole, according to multiple reports. Police said that the suspected shooter is a woman who was in critical condition on Friday. Dr. Kristen Donaldson, who treated the officer at Loyola University Medical Center, told reporters that the bullet hit him in “the center of his mass and could have been fatal.” “Thankfully he had a vest on and it saved his life,” said Donaldson, according to a Chicago Sun-Times report. “Today we have seen gun violence in Chicago hit home not only for me as an ER physician but as the wife of a Chicago Police officer.” The shooting happened after the officer and his partner stopped a woman, 25, and a man, who the cops suspected were involved in a drug deal. “They ran off, but the woman pulled a handgun and shot the officer in the chest,

striking his vest, police said,” according to the Sun-Times report. Police said that the woman’s gun was recovered. She was shot multiple times in the shoulder, leg and abdomen. The woman was rushed to Stroger Hospital. As of Friday, police were still searching for the man who escaped. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

COMING ATTRACTION: “Tangled,” acrylic on cut canvas, 30’’ x 40’’ (2015), by Erin Curtis, who the CTA selected to install artwork at the Kedzie/Lake station Green Line.

CTA ARTIST Too abstract? from page 1 ists from the community. The CTA officials in attendance at the meeting said that they chose artists for the public installations based on artistic merit first — including artistic recognition and body of work; however, they added that community input is vital to whatever artwork will ultimately grace the station. The Kedzie/Lake station has been part of what is now known as the Lake Street branch of the Green Line since 1894. It saw a number of design changes over the years, and the current station houses, elevators and walkways built in the mid-1990s as part of a line-wide reconstruction and rehabilitation project. In 2011, CTA launched an effort to add artwork to as many stations as possible. While a number of North Side and South Side stations have received art installations, no West Side stations have. The Conservatory-Central Park Drive Green Line station already had mosaics installed in 2004 as part of the Adopt-the-Station program, and most Pink Line stations that serve North and South Lawndale got artwork the same year as part of Arts in Transit program. In February 2016, CTA invited artists from all over the country to apply for a chance to create artwork for four stations, including Kedzie/Lake. Nearly 350 artists applied. Elizabeth Kelley, CTA’s art project consultant, said that Curtis has already toured East Garfield Park to start getting some inspiration. Kelley noted that that the artist was struck by West Garfield Park’s abandoned Guyon Hotel and enjoyed visiting the Garfield

Park Conservatory. The CTA will be providing Curtis with historical information, Kelley said, adding that Curtis will also do her own research and will visit the community. But that’s not consolation for many residents, who felt that the CTA spurned local artists in their selection process. Valletta Buckner, who works at Harold Washington College, said her college and other city colleges have plenty of young artists who didn’t get a change to apply to work on the project. “Why didn’t you put this out through colleges in Chicago and make these young artists aware?” Buckner said. Kelley explained that the CTA did extensive outreach in Chicago, sending out press releases, taking out ads and emailing information about the program to CTA’s mailing list of Chicago artists. In response to a resident who asked how area youth would be involved in the installation process, Kelley said that Curtis could possibly out on workshops. Gregorio Gomez, of East Garfield Park, said that while he liked Curtis’ artwork, he didn’t feel like it reflected Chicago, let alone East Garfield Park in particular – something that, he felt, was a common problem with ‘L’ station artwork. “Unfortunately, the CTA, in its infinite wisdom, decided not to represent [the community,” he mused. Keith Kelley, president of the Garfield Park Advisory Council, said that Curtis’ style may not be right for the community. “Our community faces social issues that need to be addressed,” he said. “Youth in our community needs to have very concrete messages of hope and inspiration.” Ald. Jason Ervin (28th), who hosted the community meeting, said that he may schedule another meeting so that the CTA and the community can find a “happy medium.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

NORTHWEST

INCINERATOR Any thoughts?

years, but was, for a time, the largest incinerator in North America, capable of burning 400,000 tons of garbage a year. It was shut down in 1996, thanks to both pressure from local environmental activists, who responded in force after the incinerator failed Environmental Protection Agency testing in 1993, and the repeal that year of the controversial Retail Rate Law, which had provided a financial incentive to private incinerator operators. With that incentive gone, the cost of upgrading the incinerator to meet Clean Air Act standards proved prohibitive, and the facility was closed by Mayor Richard M. Daley. 2. People lauded how environmentally friendly it would be. When it opened, during the long tenure of Mayor Richard J. Daley, incineration of solid waste was believed to be an environmentally sound alternative to landfills, and the pollution-mitigating technology of the facility was state of the art for the time. But according to witness reports, the smoke from its chimneys

often smelled extremely foul. Says Marie Henderson, longtime owner of Out of the Past Records at 4407 W. Madison, “I didn’t notice when it shut down, I just noticed that the air got better.” According to DePaul soil scientist James Montgomery, who visited the site in 1993, a visible layer of soot coated the ground and windows around the incinerator.

for the short-lived Blue Bag recycling program. Today the site is owned by the city, and used as a waste transfer station contracted to Marina Cartage. As recently as 2016 proposals were reportedly circulating among West Side business owners for possible mixed-use redevelopment at the site; the status of those plans is to date unknown.

3. Lead contamination levels are extremely high in the neighborhood. A study by the Center For Neighborhood Technology reports that in 1994 the facility’s smokestacks emitted 17 pounds of lead per hour, and a health screening in Austin at the time found that 1,638 children had elevated levels of lead in their blood. We are still seeking information about lead levels in the soil around the incinerator site, but soil testing in the neighborhood the early ’90s showed levels of lead high above EPA standards of contamination. Whether the lead came from the incinerator or from, say, lead paint chipping off nearby houses, is not known. We do know that lead levels in water fountains at nearby Orr Academy High School tested at 16 percent above EPA action levels last year; water at some area parks has tested as high as 100 percent above action levels.

5. It’s sort of become a landmark. The incinerator building itself was demolished in 2015, but its towering twin 250-foot chimneys remain a striking local landmark. Said one area business owner we spoke with, “Those chimneys just say ‘West Side’.” Intrigued? Get in touch. What else should we know about the incinerator site? What would you like to know about it? Share your memories of the Northwest Incinerator, and tell us what questions you want answered about its past, present and future: Text the word NORTHWEST to 312–697–1791. On June 8 from 6-8pm, we’ll host a public event at Inspiration Kitchens, 3504 W Lake St, aimed at reimagining the Northwest Incinerator site through community input. Join us.

4. The future of the site is in limbo.

West Side mothers organize peace march

The May 12 event was the result of collaboration among numerous community groups By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

It all started with a group of young mothers. Jamila Lawrence, a mentor at the West Side branch of SGA Youth & Family Services’ Young Chicago Parents program, said that they were having a conversation about what they could do to make their communities safer for the children. Not long afterwards, numerous organizations joined in with the mothers to plan a march. About two months later, on a warm, sunny morning on May 12, a procession of kids and adults marched counterclockwise around the block from the Garfield Park Community Service Center, 10 S. Kedzie Ave, to cheers and honks of the passing drivers. Afterwards, they convened for a short rally at the center’s back yard, where some of the mothers in attendance read poems. The participants who were interviewed said that the march was a great experience for them, one that they hoped to build on in the future. Young Chicago Parents is one of several non-profit and community organizations that meet at the center. Lawrence said that the group members who planned the details and designed t-shirts and signs. She and her fellow mentor, Shawntale Myles, provided support and supplies. Lawrence hoped that

one of the parents who took part working on the march would emin the march. Her participation power those who participated. was for deeply personal reasons. “I’ve been encouraging people “[Marching] was great for me, to step over the hurdle of fear, because I lost my kids’ father to because there’s nothing wrong violence,” she said. with speaking out loud, as long as Myles said she was pleased you’re respectful,” she said. with how the march turned out.

spent my formative years living in a townhouse that had a front and back door as well as an upstairs. That has always defined for me what I wanted in a living space. As a teenager, and until I bought my home in 1989, I lived in apartments. I never liked living where I could hear someone walking above my head. I also missed having access to the outdoors because of not having a back door. So purchasing my first, and so far only, home has been a blessing. My real estate agent was at her wit’s end after spending over a year trying to help find me a house I would like. Some houses were so horrible that, as I sat in the car looking at them, I refused to go inside. I had a limited budget for a house, and I knew that most of all I wanted a brick bungalow — a brown brick house with a front porch and those wonderful steps where the cement planters could hold flowers. I grew up in an era where the “bungalow belt” in Chicago was codename for ethnic whites who didn’t want black people living with them. But the houses were stately and had so much appeal, I longed for one of them. I can still remember visiting family and friends from the South Side who lived in them. But I also knew that, as much as I wanted that kind of house, South Side living was not for me. My memory of the first time I saw my house is still etched in my memory. I saw it during my lunchtime on a dreary, cloudy day. My house wasn’t in the best of shape interiorly. Even so, I still fell in love with it. I can recall the look of shock on my real estate agent’s face as she stared at me in amazement/disbelief while double-check-

ing that I had actually found a house I loved. I looked past the red-and-white checkerboard tile on the kitchen floor. The kitchen had yellow plastic tile trimmed with black. The other rooms had been updated by putting paneling on the wall. I overlooked all the negatives because I saw what the house could become. Every year since buying my house, I try to make small updates to it. Over the years I replaced the rotten wood windows with vinyl ones. I pulled up the tiles and refinished the wood floors underneath. I had the electricity updated so that I went from fuses to circuit breakers and increased the amp service coming into my home. Eleven years after buying my house, I had a second-story addition put on. The internet has proven to be a big help in learning how to care for and upkeep my house. An even better source has been the Chicago Bungalow Association (www.chicagobungalow.org). Every month they host seminars where experts who know how our houses were built answer questions about maintaining them. People who own vintage two flats and older wood homes shouldn’t let the name of the organization stop them from attending. Many of the seminars address issues that apply to any older home. Our homes are the only investment we get to live in and enjoy while taking a tax write-off every year. They are also our biggest investment. Learning everything we can about taking care of them should be at the forefront of every homeowner’s agenda.

The owner of Harris Ice shares his journey

Walter Harris is the only black owner of an ice house in the country By LEE EDWARDS Contributing Reporter

One of Chicago’s most successful businessmen and entrepreneurs, Walter Harris, owner and founder of Harris Ice, shared a few crystals of wisdom at The Leader’s Network’s monthly meeting on May 9 at the Columbus Park Refectory, 5701 W. Jackson Blvd. In 1970, Harris, a native of a small town near Shreveport, LA., traveled to Chicago after graduating high school. He was in search of a career. He said his father was a farmer and worked with cotton. His sisters and brothers were already in college and he was the youngest in the family. “I did not want to pick cotton or chop cotton, so I came up north for better opportunities,” said Harris. Harris recalled that shortly after settling in the city, he was hired at an ice company. After a few months on the job, the owner offered to sell Harris the business for $750. At the time of sale, the ice company retained 25 clients, mostly restaurants, Harris said. “The people liked me, they trusted me, they knew I was a hard worker and anything they would ask me to do or tell me to do I did it,” said Harris. Operating the ice business was not always easy, especially early on. Harris recalled that he wasn’t well known throughout the city when he first started. Additionally, he was limited to buying ice from a third party and making deliveries in his own truck because he did not manufacture his own ice. Still, he was able to maintain a healthy supply of ice through a deal he struck with a local ice manufacturing company. Business ran smoothly for over a decade until the ice manufacturing company gave him a six-month notice that they would be ending their partnership. Through the support of friends and thoughtful donations, he was able to purchase his first ice manufacturing machine

PUSHING FOR MORE: Walter Harris, the owner of Harris Ice on the West Side, the nation’s only black-owned ice house, inside of his company’s freezer on May 13. for $150,000. The machine produced 20 tons of ice per day. He would soon need to purchase another ice machine that would allow him to produce 40 tons of ice per day. Today, Harris said, his company, the nation’s only black-owned ice house, produces 100 tons of ice per day. Harris said he employs 28 full-time employees during the winter months and anticipates he will be hiring up to 70 employees to compensate for the additional business during the summer. “When you’re in business for yourself you’re never off the clock,” Harris said.

“When customers have a problem or they need me, I have an answering service and I go take care of it. As long as you give the customer the service you will always be in business.” Harris said his company services 1,200 customers throughout Chicago on a wholesale basis. Currently, his biggest clients are grocery store chains, restaurants, bakeries, tech companies, and major sports teams. To aspiring entrepreneurs, he advises individuals to “find your lane and when you find your lane, stay in it.” Harris gave pointed remarks when asked

about the dwindling number of AfricanAmerican-owned businesses on Chicago’s West Side. He said when he first began working on the West Side, there were several restaurants and bars he partnered with regularly. “We don’t have a lot of black businesses like we had 25 or 30 years ago, because we seem not to be motivated,” said Harris. “You have two classes of people: the people who want more and the people who need more. The want mores stand on the corner. The need mores push for more.” CONTACT: leeme117@gmail.com

am one of the lucky ones. My son, Andrew Anderson, is a CPS high school student who is getting a good education and staying out of trouble. His teachers know him well and are helping him excel in the classroom. And the odds are very high that he will be going to college.

Alderman Mitts, please let the Speer Academy expansion go on So why would a public official block that opportunity for other Chicago children? My son attends Speer Academy – a public charter school in the 37th Ward. It specializes in teaching math, science and engineering, giving its students the chance to work in the careers of the future. It’s no wonder that more than

2,000 new students want to attend Speer. To help accommodate those students and their families, Speer has plans to add 300 seats through an expansion of its current building. The new building would be paid for by private sources, with no cost to Chicago taxpayers. Yet Alderman Emma Mitts,

whose approval is necessary for the Speer expansion to go forward, is refusing to support it. Unless she changes her mind by the time the Zoning Committee meets on May 17, those 300 Chicago students and families will lose their chance for a brighter future. On behalf of the parents of Speer Academy students, I am

asking Ald. Mitts to let the school expansion go forward. We know first-hand what a Speer education offers our children, and we want other Chicago students and their families to have that opportunity.
