Among the program’s objectives listed by the mayor’s office include building the conflict resolution skills of youth, assisting parents and care givers in

Landmark Illinois awards grants to Oak Park and North Lawndale organizations
Historical preser vation grants go to 2 Oak Park organizations and a North Lawndale theater company
By SAM TUCKER Contributing Reporter
Landmark Illinois has awarded grants to three West Side organizations to help them preserve their historic buildings
The funds range from $3,500 to $5,000 and require an equal match from the recipients.
ment, said that this year’s grants were funded by the Preservation Heritage Fund, whose $60,000 comes from its operating budget. These grants are available to municipalities and nonprofit organizations for the rehabilitation of historical buildings
The Landmark Illinois’ reinvestment committee determines which applicants receive grants. The board is made up of volunteers and includes architects, bankers, attorneys and historians. Taking community impact into account is an important part of the decision process
“We really try to work with people on what they find significant in their community that they want to preserve or tell the story about, and we want to support them in preserving their own communities and their own stories,” Germann said.
In Oak Park, The Day Nursery and the Living Sanctuary of Faith Church of God in Christ both received grants to address building restoration. And in North Lawndale, Theatre Y, an experimental theater company, received a grant to hire an architect to move forward with extensive renovation plans.
Landmark Illinois is a nonprofit that advocates for the preservation of historic buildings and their reuse in communities. For more than 40 years, the organization has worked across Illinois in its mission of “people saving places for people.”

Germann said the grants are a one-toone match, so organizations must match the grant amount with cash or donated services and materials. Once they have the match, the grant is paid and then recipients have a year to complete the project.
Theatre Y, which was awarded $5,000, will be using its grant to hire architects to begin the next steps in the entire renovation of a four-story, 100-year-old building in North Lawndale. Theatre Y is a nonprofit

Chicago needs a witness protection program
If the mayor and his police superintendent want the general public to “drop a dime on crime,” then we need proof-positive assurance that the person doing so will be safe. The recent targeted murder of two women (45 and 24) along with a 7-year-old (two other children, 5 and 8 were wounded and survived) by masked men using pistols and rifles at 6:15 in the mor ning leaves no doubts that those individuals are heartless killers.
JONES
The brick bungalow had wrought-iron fencing surrounding it. That didn’t keep the women safe. It had an ADP sign in the window, but that didn’t keep the family safe. Even the security door didn’t do anything (especially if the targeted assassination was personal and the women let the killers in).
With such killers around, you can’t just walk into a police station and name names Even tips given to the online cpdtips.com
does not give the assurance that the person speaking up can remain anonymous or safe.
The evening following the shooting, the city and the police put on a rally called “Operation Wake Up.” That rally did little to rally the crowd. There should have been anger beyond belief that grown men would target children to be shot. People living in the area should be turning over their security camera footage en masse. At this point in the investigation, we should at least see some images of the perpetrators and their vehicles. Instead, what occurred was a lukewarm rally and offers of Emergency Services Assistant Services at Fosco Park, 1312 S. Racine. That location is not conducive for easy access when the murders occurred at 71st and Woodlawn. What Chicago needs is a witness protection program. It also needs 1-2 officers in every police district whose specific duties would include being available to people who
want to “drop that dime.”
To tell what they know, the community needs to have confidence in the discretion of those officers. Without that, why would anybody talk? And the moment they give credible evidence, they need to be placed in witness protection, moved out of the city, and put somewhere safe.
Chicago may have home rule, but we need the Illinois General Assembly to put forth a comprehensive crime bill to address the 2024 criminals. Let’s reopen Tamms Supermax prison in southern Illinois. If the president of El Salvador within two years’ time can take his country from the most dangerous to now the safest, Illinois can do the same thing
But we’ve got to be serious. When we lock them up, they need to know that we truly are throwing away the key.

Putting down Meghan Markle
Dear Ms. Jones,
Somehow I don’t get to read the Austin Weekly as much as I once did and happy it still exists. I am also happy that you are a consistent contributor but was super-disappointed by your recent contribution about Me ghan Markle [Me ghan Markle is desperate, Arlene Jones, June 26].
It tur ned out to be yet another example of one Black woman putting down another Black woman. Under neath it seems like it was saying, “Hey Essence, Vanity Fair, pick me, pick me. See, I can pile on, too.” I’m sure Piers Morgan would be mighty proud of you. But it was your “viewpoint,” so I guess (on second thought) you can use the ink and space to talk about anything you want.

Poppin’ Out Pal comes to Austin
The popcorn shop features fun avors
By HOPE BAKER Contributing Reporter
In the mood for a savory snack?
Austin’s new gourmet popcorn shop, pin’ Out Pal, located at 5607 W. Division St. The new shop, which officially opened on June 8, offers a variety of flavors, ing white cheddar, caramel, dill, “spicy red,” BBQ and cheese. For customers with a sweet tooth, Italian Ice is also on the menu.
Two years ago, owner Conchita Lewis de cided that the Austin area needed a popcor shop. She noticed that people had to either go downtown or to the South Side if wanted to find gourmet popcorn. when the idea for Poppin’ Out Pal was bo
Determined to open her own popcor shop on the West Side, Lewis found a vacant storefront in a shopping strip on Divisio Street and set her idea into motion.
“The process was slow, as far as the store open and working with the city,” she said. “It’s very refreshing to finally open and get started.”
Owner Conchita Lewis said she wants communit y feedback to serve avors they’ ll come back for.
Lewis, who is an Austin native, is a retired employee of The Chicago Department of Aviation. She said opening her own business has been her goal for a long time
“Now instead of going downtown to Garrett, people can get popcorn right here in the neighborhood,” she said. “When you come in, I greet you by saying, ‘Welcome to the POP shop.’”
Since opening last month, Lewis has noticed that a favorite among older customers is a classic cheese and caramel mix. Teenagers and the younger crowd, she said, have typically opted for more adventurous flavors like dill and “spicy red.”
“I want to get the community’s feedback so I can give them the treats that they want,” she said.
Crystal Dyer, board chair person for the Austin Chamber of Commerce, said it’s great that Poppin’ Out Pal is open for business because there is nothing else like it in the neighborhood.
Dyer said that although Bitoy’s Sweet
Treats, which sells gourmet popcorn, has been located on Chicago Avenue in Austin for years, it is no longer a storefront operation. Instead, it is now focused on catering and online orders.
“They are not open for daily operations anymore.” she said. “They are distributors now.”
Austin resident Elacetria Ecford and her 11-year-old daughter Makinley recently visited Poppin’ Out Pal for the first time. They enjoyed it so much that they returned the next day.
Ecford said she is a fan of the dill and “spicy red” mix, and her daughter likes the shop’s cherry-flavored Italian Ice. In addition to cherry, the shop also offers Italian ice in lemon, blue raspberry, pineapple, strawberry and passion fruit.
“The popcorn is really good,” Ecford said. “This is definitely something different for the neighborhood.”
Poppin’ Out Pal is open Tuesday-Thursday from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Sundays from 12 – 5 p.m.

meeting basic needs and increasing opportunities for community members to participate in ef for ts that promote reform in Chicago’s communities.
“For far too long, senseless violence has harmed the very fabric and soul of our communities,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a statement. “The Cycle Breakers mo calls on all Chicagoans to engage in building safer communities and a safer city by endin these cycles of violence.”
The launch of the prog comes after an especially vio lent holiday weekend in wh more than 100 people were and 20 people killed, includin in Austin and Greater Grand Crossing
Johnson was joined by Chicago Public Health Commissioner Olumsimbo Ige.
young people of all ages about “exploring what it means to use your creativity to transform your neighborhood.”
The development for Cycle Breakers included more than 200 youth from communities across the city. Over the course of three focus groups, Cross said they spoke with many young people from communities across Chicago about what safety means to them and what actions need to be taken to break negative cycles of violence.
Cross’s mural, highlighted at the launch event, was created in part by the focus icipants. Hearing the authentic and thoughtful answers of oung people who eng aged in focus groups was one of the most rewarding parts for him, Cross said.
“Help is available,” Ige said. “Love is available. Care is available. T here is a community to make sure that you are safe. You are loved, you are protected, you are suppor ted, and that you can thrive.”
The program also includes providing city youth, their parents and caretakers access to resources for mental health services and crisis intervention services. Safe space events, such as talent shows, movie nights and block parties, will be held by city officials with Cycle Breaker programming.
On display at the launch event was the work of Haman Cross III, a Chicago muralist, artist and community engagement advocate. Cross, a resident in Chicago’s West Side, says his work is focused on teaching

The experimental theater is in its 18th year. After putting on productions in Chicago beginning in 2010, the company found a permanent location for its broad plans of connecting the theater with nonprofit social justice and incarceration advocacy efforts.

Prioritizing the perspective of Chicago’s youth concerning what refor ms need to be made to make communities safer is incredibly important, Cross said. While listening to the participants of the focus groups, Cross said it was refreshing to hear the diverse group of voices seeking the same objective
“Even though we had all these different focus groups, who didn’t know each other, lived in different parts of the city, but they all had very similar views on what we needed to do to make the community safe, what they needed, and it was affirming,” Cross said. “If we ask our youth, if we engage them, we can really solve a lot of problems.”
“This facility that we now occupy in North Lawndale has really been imagined as a sanctuary against the prison industrial complex,” Melissa Lorraine, co-founder and artistic director of Theatre Y, said.
The grant will go towards hiring architects to draft plans for the building. Lorraine said that about $1.5 million is needed to address all their plans for the building, but getting the architecture plans is a priority.
“We’re working with people inside the prison to try to bring them home. Then we’re hiring as many returning citizens in our building as possible – any and all ways that we could imagine a theater company

Four teenagers participated in a panel at the launch event to discuss various topics surrounding violence prevention in Chicago.
“To break the cycle of violence, we just need to think before we act,” Jeremy Possley, a teen on the panel, said. “That’s what my mom always used to say. Just think before you act. Every action has a consequence.”
One panelist, Journey, commented her thoughts on a question re garding how one would approach resolving a conflict with either close friend or someone outside of your friend group.
“Outside of my friend group, most of the time, if it’s something little I just let it go,” Journey said. “But if it’s something outrageous like bullying…I’m going to have a conversation with you. I want to know why, exactly, do you feel this way about me and where can we meet each other to have peace. Because that’s all we want. We don’t

The grant will be used to repair the foundation and roof of the church and take care of masonry issues related to water damage in the Gothic-style building, according to Landmark Illinois.

In response to a question concerning how he would handle a conversation with someone that is struggling and in pain, and this person wants to express that pain violently on someone else, Possley referred to his own personal experiences.
“As somebody that has dealed with anger issues myself, the first thing I would tell them is that they are not alone,” Jeremy Possley said. “There’s many other people dealing with the same stuf f violence is not the answer. After violence, what you’ll feel is just an empty feeling and it’s not good. People shouldn’ t be going through that, especially at a young ag e.

SHKOUKANI
School board candidate
from page 1
Jousef Shkoukani, 29, is one of the five candidates r unning in the 5th District. He works as an attorney at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, a law firm in the Loop. And though he doesn’t have a career in education, he said he cares a lot about it .
“I really value education and wanting to make sure that every student receives a quality education,” Shkoukani said. “I think that it’s important to have dif ferent perspectives and back grounds.”
Shkoukani sits on the local school council at Wilma Rudolph Learning Center on the Near West Side, but will no longer be able to serve if elected to the school board in November
In 2020, he started the nonprofit Unified Under Hope. Shkoukani said the organization’s initial mission was to get resources to areas disproportionately affected by COVID-19. But when Shkoukani looked into the factors that cause these disparities, largely in communities of color, Unified Under Hope’s mission shifted
“We thought education was the root of it because, even if you talk about median income or the ability to have health insurance, you’ re talking about the ability to obtain a good-paying job, a salaried position,” Shkoukani said. “And that goes with schooling.”
Unified Under Hope provides literacy progr ams and supplemental tutoring across schools in Michig an, where Shkoukani grew up.
Unified Under Hope often assigns tutors based on what students prefer, whether they want more of an extroverted or introverted tutor, or one with a specific background. This way, students can relate to their tutors, who often become their mentors, too
“Sometimes when you’ re connected with a tutor, it’s hard having somebody teach at you,” Shkoukani said. But if students look up to their tutor, it allows them to believe in themselves more, he added.
Because of this work with the nonprofit, Shkoukani was reco gnized by Forbes 30 under 30 last year. He said he hopes to expand Unified Under Hope to Chicago by pairing students across CPS with high school-age tutors.
Shkoukani moved to Chicago in 2021 and lives in the Near West Side with his wife. He has a bachelor’s de gree in ac-
on need, rather than funding schools based on student enrollment, as it has for the last decade
“They’re focusing on a more equitable approach, and I believe that,” Shkoukani said. “And I think it really helps the West Side.”
Goals for CPS and 5th District
Several schools on the West Side have lower enrollment than other CPS schools, and Shkoukani said he’s heard about the need for better neighborhood schools in Austin specifically.
Austin Colle ge and Career Academy High School had 165 students enrolled at the end of the most-recent school year, while Frederick Douglass Academy High School only had 31, according to Chicago Public School data.
While several factors have contributed to the systemic disinvestment of these high schools over the years, Shkoukani said one reason enrollment has fallen is because parents send their children to charter schools, instead of neighborhood schools.
source of funding outside of taxes
If elected to the 5th District school board, Shkoukani said he will actively involve parents and families in shaping the policies within their schools by being available by phone, over email and in-person, including holding office hours.
“Being a part of the community is key, and that’s really what I try to do every day,” Shkoukani said. “And it’s not that I have to try, it’s that I genuinely enjoy meeting new people, talking to people and hanging out with new folks. I think that’s where the most meaningful conversations will happen.”
This is something Shkoukani sai d he has learned as he’s seen how tense school board meetings can get. He hopes his role at these meetings would be one of easing tension.
“I do n’ t pretend to know all the answers,” he said. “I think hearing everybody’s input and being able to come up with the most collaborative solution is always the best way.”
“I believe in school choice, but I think if we build up our neighborhood schools, parents will then choose neighborhood schools.”

counting and worked as a financial analyst before star ting law school.
As a financial analyst, he said he learned the importance of managing budg ets, forecasting outcomes and digging into accounting when results didn’t align. He said he will bring this experience to the school board, if elected, when considering the district’s $500 million deficit
CPS has worked toward addressing this shortfall by laying of f central office staf f, cutting administrat ive costs and restructuring debt, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. CPS has also changed its budg eting model for the next school year.
In the 2024-2025 school year, CPS will allocate the same resources to all schools CPS will give additional resources based
“I think charter schools act as a crutch,” Shkoukani said. “I think a lot of parents, that at least I talked to, were a little nervous that, if their student didn’t get into Whitney Young [Magnet High School] or Jones [Colle ge Prep], then they would be stuck having to go to Wells [Community Academy High School],” Shkoukani said about the schools nearby where he lives. Because improving neighborhood schools will take time, Shkoukani sai d he d oesn’t think i mmediately defundin g or closing charter schools is the answe r. But as CPS amends i ts budg et for the upc oming school year, Shkoukani said he b eli eves the number of charter schools in Chicago will decrease
“I think that charter schools play a vital role right now and really provide parents with comfort,” Shkoukani said. “I believe in school choice, but I think if we build up our neighborhood schools, parents wi ll then choose neighborhood schools.”
In May, Re p. La Shawn Fo rd filed a resolution to construct a new neighborhood school in Austin.
While a new high school on the West Side would be l ife-changing for many young p eople, Shkoukani q uestions how to af ford it. He said the fixed c osts of opening a new building would be fa r more than the c ost to improve existing high schools — especially when CPS has close to a half-billion-dollar deficit
Another way to address this shortfall, Shkoukani said, would be to repurpose some of the CPS empty buildings around the city as a
What ’s next for Shkoukani
Shkoukani is still on the ballot for November, but was one of 27 school board candidates who had someone challeng e his nomination papers at the beginning of this month.
Such objections often concern the 1,000 signatures required to g et on the ballot. T hose who file challenges claim that candidates collected signatures from voters not re gistered to vote in their school board district, from voters who wrote incomplete addresses or omitted them, or voters who signed the nomination papers more than once.
Shkoukani had his initial hearing July 9 and will have another hearing the week of July 14, where he and the Chicago Electoral Board will go through his signatures line-by-line.
Since hearings have started, three people have withdrawn their candidacy, although none are from the 5th District.
Shkoukani got 1,067 signatures to qualify as a candidate. Though he hopes to stay on the November ballot, if he’s removed, he said he will certainly run again for the 5th District school board in 2026. And he’ll shoot for 3,000 signatures.
“I think I would make for a good candidate because I have a variety of skills and a background that could contribute well for the students,” Shkoukani said. “And if that’s really what this is all about,” he added of the students, “I think that’s what should matter most.”

Loretto Hospital executive at center of COVID scandal charged with
Anosh Ahmed and his friend Sameer Suhail were accused of defrauding the Austin safety net hospital out of millions of dollars
By KELLY BAUER Block Club Chicago
The for mer chief financial officer at Loretto Hospital who was at the center of a COVID vaccine scandal in the early days of the pandemic has been charged with defrauding the safety net hospital out of $15 million.
Anosh Ahmed, 40, was indicted by a federal grand jury on eight counts of wire fraud, four counts of embezzlement and three counts of money laundering, federal prosecutors announced last Friday.
His friend, medical supply company owner Sameer Suhail, 47, was also charged in the same indictment. He’s facing six counts of wire fraud, six counts of aiding and abetting embezzlement and two counts of money laundering.
The federal charges came after a Block Club Chicago investigation that began with alle gations that Ahmed funneled hard-toget vaccines early in the pandemic to his neighbors at Trump Tower and to workers at high-end businesses he frequented. The vaccines were meant for the city’s poorest people but ended up in areas where Chicago’s wealthiest lived and played.
The indictment, handed up Thursday by a federal grand jury, superseded an earlier indictment that named only for mer Loretto Hospital Chief Transformation Officer Heather Bergdahl. But documents made clear that Ahmed was deeply embroiled in the investigation.
Bergdahl, 37, is now charged with 14 counts of wire fraud, 21 counts embezzlement and one count of money laundering, prosecutors said. She was first charged in May, and arrested when federal authorities learned she was sitting on a plane ready to
take of f for Dubai. Agents rushed to stop the flight and remove her, said a federal official who took part in the arrest.
Prosecutors alle ge Ahmed, who was in charge of managing Loretto’s finances, schemed with Bergdahl and Suhail to send vendor payments for goods and services not provided to the hospital. Many of the companies were created by Suhail and Ahmed “under various names to conceal their association with fraudulent payment,” according to the indictment.
Ahmed hired Bergdahl, and it appeared they knew each other before that from living in Houston, according to the earlier criminal complaint.
After Ahmed resigned in March 2021, Bergdahl continued at the hospital — and issued $486,540 in checks from the hospital to companies where Ahmed was the CEO, according to the complaint.
Ahmed would de posit the money into the bank accounts for those companies, then move them to other accounts he controlled, according to the complaint. None of the companies provides services or goods to Loretto Hospital, according to the criminal complaint.
T he accounts listed an address in the 400 block of North Wabash Avenue, according to the complaint. Ahmed had a home at Trump Tower on the block. Around November 2021, the accounts’ addresses were changed to an address in Houston — where Ahmed had a condo.
Four of the checks — which totaled $314,888.96 — were issued just in the four days after Ahmed opened the bank accounts, according to the complaint.
Bergdahl didn’t submit bills, invoices or other proof of a transaction for the checks, going against Loretto’s usual practices, according to the complaint.
And while Bergdahl was employed at Loretto Hospital, she received more than $419,000 from two of Ahmed’s accounts, according to the complaint.
Records also showed phones connected to Bergdahl and Ahmed making frequent contact, including during the times when the checks were issued from the hospital to

He is accused of funneling money from the safety net hospital to his friend, medical supply company ow ner Sameer Suhail. Suhail has also been charged.
the entities controlled by Ahmed, according to the complaint.
“I believe that, during those calls, Bergdahl and [Ahmed] planned and coordinated Bergdahl’s embezzlement of [Loretto’s] funds by way of checks made payable to the Individual A Entities, and [Ahmed’s] opening of bank accounts in the names of those entities to receive those funds,” an FBI agent notes in the complaint.
Some of the checks also included a signature from Ahmed on the payor line, even though he was no longer working at Loretto Hospital, according to the complaint.
There are other indications the businesses that received funds were not legitimate, such as them lacking websites, not having business re gistrations and not having re gular banking transactions, according to the complaint.
Bergdahl left Loretto Hospital in March 2022 but c ontinued as a c ontractor until that April, when the hospital “terminated i ts relationship” with her, a ccording to the complaint.
Bergdahl currently works as the CFO at Anosh Inc. in Houston, Texas, according to her LinkedIn profile. She lives in Houston, where Ahmed also has a residence.
Berhdahl was released on a $486,000 b ond secured by her parent’s home, c our t records show. As a c ondition of her re -

Loretto Hospital has seen several shakeups and FBI investigations since Block Club’s re porting.
Starting in March 2021, Block Club revealed the hospital was funneling vaccines meant for underserved areas of the West Side to ineligible people at Chicago’s Trump Tower, where Loretto’s then-chief financial officer, Ahmed, lived, and at a luxury jewelry store and high-end Gold Coast steakhouse where Ahmed hung out. Then-CEO George Miller’s suburban church also received vaccines.
Block Club then partnered with the Better Government Association to show Ahmed’s friends won contracts worth $4 million from the nonprofit hospital while Loretto board members took hospital-funded Caribbean trips, among other benefits. The Loretto Hospital investigations led to FBI and state probes, the resignation of Ahmed, the end of Miller’s leadership at the hospital and prompted the city to take over vaccine distribution to ensure doses went to West Siders who were struggling to get shots instead of the rich and powerful.
