Austin nonprofit looking to go into housing

Westside Health Authority was granted a special use permit for a transitional housing facility it plans to open By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The Westside Housing Authority moved a step closer to offering transitional housing services for ex-offenders at a facility it owns in Austin at 5422 W. Division St. The Chicago Zoning Board of Appeals voted on Aug. 18 to approve a special use permit that allows the nonprofit to operate a residential component at the facility, where the nonprofit had already been providing a number of support services for ex-offenders. Services for ex-offenders who are re-entering society are a major part of WHA’s work. According to its website, the organization helps them find jobs by providing job training, offering GED preparation courses and assisting them with job placement. WHA also offers anger management and conflict resolution courses, provides health screenings, sets up voicemail boxes for ex-offenders to use, See WESTSIDE HEALTH on page 8

West Side residents invited to join city’s largest choir

Illinois Humanities gears up for a massive Oct. 1 performance by Chicagoans from all 50 wards By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks

Dozens of West Side poets, singers and residents will come together next month to rehearse for a 1,000-person performance that they and Chicagoans from all 50 wards will participate in Oct. 1. The rehearsals are being organized with the help of Illinois Humanities as

part of the Year of Public Art’s 50*50 Neighborhood Arts Project initiative. Community groups from each of the 50 wards will invite artists and residents to represent their communities during the 45-minute performance of “Crowd Out,” a musical piece written for more than 1,000 non-professional performers by Pulitzer-winning composer David Lang. “This will be the U.S premiere of

‘Crowd Out,’” said Paul Durica, director of programs at Illinois Humanities, adding Chicago will be the third place where the piece has been performed, following concerts in England and Germany. The 1,000-voice piece, which combines music with spoken, whispered and shouted words, sprang from Lang’s

The truthful cartoon

I commissioned this cartoon to express the true problems with Chicago’s tax increment financing (TIF). Not only was the controversial cartoon previously released by the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI) in poor taste, racist, and unacceptable, it was inaccurate and misleading. The IPI continues to double-down and criticize local black media, defending their cartoon depiction of an African American student sitting on the ground begging for money for education while looking up at a rich white man with his pockets stuffed with TIF dollars. I have said two wrongs don’t make a right: the city of Chicago is wrong on their TIF policy, but it is also wrong that we don’t fully fund public education for our students FIRST. It is not right to make it look like we have to beg for dollars for education. What I don’t get is if black people find something depicting their race offensive and stand against it, how could the offender continue to defend it, adding fuel to the fire and adding more insult to injury? It seems that the IPI are offended because people of all races agree that their cartoon was not appropriate. There is another point here, though, because blacks have good reason to see this cartoon as very offensive, given our experience of many years of constant humiliation. The IPI can’t possibly be so proud of their work now, and it shows insensitivity that they still feel offended. The IPI should be sensitive enough to learn from this situation and grow as an organization.

Residents festive about school year despite budget cuts

This year’s Summer Fest West was bigger than ever, say organizers By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

This year’s Summer Fest West, held Aug. 26 at Marshall High School Campus Park, 3300 W. Jackson Blvd., had more seating for seniors, more musical acts and more backpacks to give away than ever even though conflict in Springfield has the state of public school funding in limbo. The event — hosted by Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) and his wife, state Rep. Melissa Conyears-Ervin (10th) — kicked off with a parade that started near the intersection of Laramie Avenue and Washington Boulevard and continued east on Washington Blvd. before ending at the park. Marchers included representatives from Fathers Who Care, UIC College Prep and the Noble Network of Charter Schools, among other entities. “The purpose of the event is to encourage our youth and entice our youth to go back to school,” said Conyers-Ervin. Lavonda Scott, a long-time 28th Ward resident, has been volunteering for the festival’s backpack giveaway for the past six years. She said that this year, festival organizers were giving away 1,500 backpacks to K-12 students from all over the city. “As long as they’re here and children are present, we’ll be able to give them [backpacks] whether they’re from the 28th Ward or not,” Scott said. But despite the festivities, the state of public school funding was still in the minds of some of the festival participants and organizers. William Jones, an instructor at Mashall

High School, was on hand to recruit students. The school is a neighborhood high school, so anyone who lives within its attendance area is eligible to enroll. Jones said that key is to ensure that as many students that can enroll do. “Kids move, and we don’t have their addresses or phone numbers,” he said. Jones touted the school’s culinary arts and horticulture programs, which have been in place for the past few years, as well Junior ROTC program. When asked about how the most recent CPS budget affected Marshall, he said that it hurt them – though he hoped it wouldn’t stay that way. The budget is based on a number of students expected to enroll, and it gets adjusted a few weeks after the school starts based on how many students actually do enroll and stay enrolled. “Just like every other school, we had to cut people,” Jones said. “We won’t know [the effects] until the school starts. Hopefully, we’ll have enough students to bring people back.” At the same time, a larger uncertainty remains. As of the print deadline, the Illinois House of Representatives hasn’t taken any action on Gov. Bruce Rauner’s amendatory veto, which cut how much state funding CPS would get. The House can either override it, approve it or do nothing, which would automatically veto the entire bill, leaving all Illinois public schools without any state funding whatsoever. On Aug. 24, the Associated Press reported that House Republicans and Democrats reached a compromise that could allow the override to move forward. They are expected to hash out the details on Aug. 27, and the House is expected to hold an override vote on Aug. 28. Conyears-Ervin told this newspaper that she wasn’t sure what the compromise en-

W. Side nonprofit gets millions to help steer youth to college

Introspect Youth Services received $4.3M for its Talent Search and Upward Bound programs By WENDELL HUTSON Contributing Reporter

Three new federal grants with possibly a fourth one on the way will provide additional resources needed for a nonprofit to continue helping West Side and west suburban youth with their educational goals. Introspect Youth Services Inc., 430 N. Cicero Ave., has been providing post-secondary educational assistance to youth since its 1977 inception, contends Bernard Clay, ex-

ecutive director. “And now with these new federal grants we will be able to continue helping students with their education beyond high school whether it’s college, vocational or trade schools,” said Clay. He added that the three, five-year grants from the U.S. Department of Education total $4.3 million and will be used largely to maintain staff with the organization’s Talent Search and Upward Bound programs. Clay said he expects to find out in the next 30 days if Introspect would also receive a $1.6 million federal grant for its Upward Bound Math and Science program. Services Introspect provides youth include help them fill out admission applications and financial aid forms, preparing them for admission tests, conducting career seminars and workshops, and providing campus visits to colleges. Clay said most of the students in

the programs are black and between 11 and 27-years-old. U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-7th), whose district includes the West Side, was instrumental in helping the organization secure the grants, said Clay. “Danny Davis has been influential in helping us receive funding,” added Clay. “He is a big supporter of what we do.” But Davis said the organization does more than help youth get into college and enroll in job training programs. He said Introspect has been a very effective but fairly quiet organization that does not get the recognition it deserves. “This is organization provides counseling to youth who would not otherwise receive it,” said Davis, a former counselor at Farragut High School. “We need more organizations like Introspect if we want ‘our’ children in college.”

Clay echoed Davis’ sentiments adding that there are a number of barriers poor students encounter when pursuing higher education. “Besides college we help students get into certification and other programs that lead to licensure,” explained Clay. “And we provide factual information about schools to students so that they don’t end up going to propriety schools that have a bad record of graduating low-income students.” Currently the organization does not offer scholarships to students, but Clay said his goal is to do so moving forward. “One goal I have is to provide scholarships to students because financial assistance is a big barrier for most kids on the West Side,” he said. “I’d like to also see us do more field trips for youth. Believe or not, there are a lot of kids that have never been to the Museum Campus (Downtown).” CONTACT: wreporter@yahoo.com

Choices and consequences

t is obvious from the number of crimes now being committed by certain young teenagers that their home training didn’t include much lecturing on the subject of “choices and consequences.” The decisions they make in this life will have either a positive or negative response. But their choice is free will, meaning they made the decision to do or not do something and are thus responsible for the consequences that follow. A young man, Charles Macklin, 17, was in the 1400 block of North Lockwood last Monday, Aug. 21. News reports said an off-duty Fire Department lieutenant left his car running while speaking with a neighbor. Charles saw an opportunity to steal a car and jumped in. The off-duty firefighter

had a valid concealed-carry permit and proceeded to prevent his car from being stolen. In the process of protecting his property, the car owner shot Charles, who paid the ultimate price of losing his life because he made a bad choice. That choice had a corresponding consequence of death. Charles’ family, led by a sister who wasn’t raised with him and Revolution Club Chicago, has been leading a protest on the block against the man who shot and killed him. Their contention is that the facts don’t add up. Charles’ blood is on the ground, meaning that he got out of the car. The tire marks on the ground are swerved, from where he crashed the car. Charles was shot in the chest, but the front window of the Jeep isn’t cracked.

WESTSIDE HEALTH Transitional housing from page 1 hands out kits with hygiene products and offers emergency food and clothing. But up to this point, it had not offered any help with housing beyond providing referrals to other non-profits. Ald. Emma Mitts (38th), whose ward includes both WHA headquarters and the 5422 W. Division Street building, said that the services for ex-offenders are more important in Austin than ever. “Today, the Austin neighborhood has a reported 21 percent rate of unemployment and, unfortunately, a large population of parolees with criminal records,” she said. According to Quiwana Bell, WHA’s Chief Operating Officer, the transitional housing will serve as a residential component of a pilot project designed to expand services for returning citizens. The program will be able to accommodate up to six ex-offenders who don’t have any home to return to. In order to take part in the project, they had to be low-level offenders who have been pre-screened by the Sheridan Correctional Center in Sheridan, Illinois. Once they move in, the ex-offenders will receive on-site services similar to what WHA already offers. “With over 10 years of experience in providing re-entry services, WHA understands the unique needs and proper supports required to successfully rein-

tegrate back into society,” Bell said. Bell said that WHA’s ultimate goal is to set their clients on the path toward leading meaningful and successful lives. While applications aren’t legally required to have the local alderman’s approval, it is usually sought as a matter of precedent. Mitts said that WHA has her full support. “I have long worked with local partners such as the West Side Health Authority to highlight awareness of the tremendous need to provide housing and jobs for returning, formerly incarcerated citizens,” she said. “And as long as they prove successful in the community, they’ll have my support.” The alderman said that helping exoffenders return to stable, productive lives is good for everyone. “This pilot initiative can serve as an important resource, and equally significant, help remove barriers from the paths of these citizens trying to recover from past mistakes as they seek to establish more stable, productive lives,” she said. “Many everyday Chicago residents may not recognize that the arrest and incarceration records of young adults who’ve previously made mistakes can provide a major negative impact to their future growth and development. They can also create significant obstacles to some simple basics many of us take for granted, such as finding housing and employment.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

I can understand the family’s pain at losing someone who was so young and in such a fashion. But as a community, we need to address the fact that we have teens who are using bad judgment that comes with being that age, are committing crimes against adults with concealed-carry permits who are utilizing their training to protect their property. I know human life is not equivalent to property. But in this stressful era when we are living in a society that places financial burdens beyond belief on us, a man willing to shoot a thief over a car isn’t as farfetched as it sounds. Earlier this summer we had a somewhat similar case: 16-year-old Damon Price died because he chose the wrong person to rob at the Madison and Austin branch of the US Bank in Oak Park. The 24-year-old victim was licensed and carrying a concealed weapon. Damon had a weapon, too. There

was a shootout and Damon took a bullet to the chest and died. The first basic lesson all of us need to teach our young, and practice ourselves, is that if it doesn’t belong to you, keep your hands off it. Car theft is a real crime. It sounds easy when those who have lost someone profess that the person whose car was stolen can get a new one. But why should the onus be on the one whose property is being stolen as opposed to the thief doing the stealing? The same goes for robbery. If we don’t want our young people, who are already losing their lives to senseless violence, to die because of bad choices, then talk to them daily about the consequences of their actions. I am sure Charles didn’t plan on the outcome being what it was. But had he walked past the car, he would still be alive today. Choices have consequences.

Celebrate Seniors

WITH THE SCOTTISH HOME With National Grandparents Day in early September, we’re honoring the seniors closest to us. What better way to honor seniors than to attend one of the upcoming events at the Scottish Home?

Calling all singers from page 1 experiences with soccer matches, where he saw crowds in the stadium picking up dynamically changing identities from individuals to groups, Durica said. “It’s an opportunity to explore the experience of being in a crowd — a sort of terrifying experience where they really grapple with those emotions” he said. But most importantly, it will allow individuals to reflect on what it means to “become part of something that’s larger than an individual self.” Before the Oct. 1 climax performance at Millennium Park, Illinois Humanities will partner with groups from each city ward to hold community gatherings where residents can learn the piece while having conversations about local arts and cultural development, Durica said. Groups and individuals that will represent the West Side in the citywide choir include By the Hand Club for Kids in the 29th Ward, Austin artist Markell Mooney along with his artist collective Words of Life in the 37th Ward, and the Garfield Park Community Council in the 28th Ward. “This will cultivate collaboration of audio and visual art from artists from various walks of the city to gather together in one particular sound and movement,” said Mooney, also known as Kell-O-G. “All pieces are focused on a poetic fashion, on peace and harmony,” Mooney said. “It’s like a big melting pot of love and togetherness.” The 37th Ward artists and residents will meet at La Follette Park, 1333 N. Laramie Ave., Sept. 7, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. For 29th Ward gathering will be Sept. 6, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 415 N. Laramie Ave., with By the Hand Club organizing a choir of children from the Austin area, according to Illinois Humanities. The Garfield Park Community Council is working on details for the 28th Ward community gathering. Some of the choir members from the Helping Hand Missionary Baptist Church will also take part in the choir in the 37th Ward,

Mooney said, and he’s trying to find at least “five solid poets from the West Side.” While performing on Millennium Park’s big stage sounds exciting, it’s also important that more artists and community members take advantage of the community gatherings to discuss the present and future of Austin’s arts and cultural assets, Mooney said. “There aren’t any programs in my community (for) music, writing, audio and visual arts that the kids can be [part of],” Mooney said. “It hasn’t been marketed as strongly as other communities, like Hyde Park, Wicker Park and Rogers Park.” Austin has rich music and cultural assets as well as young talents, he said, but few community centers have audio and visual art activities. “The kids would like to learn to how to record and produce music,” said the longtime Austin resident. “A lot of kids want to get behind the microphone, to rap and sing.” So there needs to be more dialogue, he said, “because people need to know what’s lacking in certain communities in terms of arts.” Following the gatherings, there will be four dress rehearsals across the city, with each planned to have 250 to 300 participants. The West Side dress rehearsal will be held at Austin Town Hall Sept. 22, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Both the community gatherings and rehearsals will help the Austin neighborhood build partnerships and expand connections across the city, Durica said. “It’s a chance for us to learn about what Austin community members want the rest of the city to know about it, so that we can be more responsive as for grants and programming,” Durica said. There will be refreshments provided during the gatherings and rehearsals. All events are free. All artists, performers and residents are invited to participate in the Crowd Out, Mooney said, adding there are important messages he hopes to send to Austin’s elected officials. “If the political leaders are actually involved, they are aware of what’s going on and see the communities are actually doing something,” he said. “Maybe we can create some after-school programs,” he said. “They’re whole collateral ideas that we can put together and try to get some kids of our ward involved.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

Remodeled walk-in health center debuts in Austin PCC Community Wellness Center unveiled the newly renovated facility last week

By AUSTINTALKS Partner

PCC Community Wellness Center (PCC) celebrated on Aug. 21 the renovation of its walk-in wellness center at West Suburban Medical Center, a community health center that offers non-urgent care for illnesses and injuries that are not true emergencies. The renovation was made possible by a $1 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Robert J. Urso, PCC’s president and CEO, welcomed guests to the Oak Park facility, and state Sen. Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) gave remarks. Supporters, patients and staff toured the health center, which also houses a sports medicine clinic, ultrasound clinic and chemical dependency clinic for the treatment of opioid use disorders. “We are appreciative of the space that West Suburban Medical Center is allowing us to use to create this en-

vironment,” Urso said. “At the walkin, our patients can be seen immediately by a provider as an alternative to the emergency room.” During Monday’s event, PCC also celebrated its 25th anniversary. Comprised of 11 health centers – including one in Austin – PCC is a Federally Qualified Health Center that provides quality, affordable and accessible primary health care and support services for medically underserved communities. As a safety net provider, PCC is committed to extending to patients increased access for medical attention for non-emergent care without an appointment (i.e. bronchitis, migraine, sore throat). Over the past year, PCC’s providers completed over 22,000 patient visits at the clinic. “We are pleased to continue to offer the same quality PCC medical care to our patients, now in such beautiful and professional surroundings,” said Dr. Katrina Cordero, who serves as the clinic’s medical director.

Unique Party Inspired by West Side Women’s Breakfast

After 87-year-old Pat Michalski attended a West Side Women’s Breakfast in Austin where she met Momma Kemba, an African American actress/storyteller who portrays women in history, Michalski decided to throw a party. She invited a diverse group of dynamic women friends to her Oak Park home to see Momma Kemba perform her onewoman show about Sojourner Truth and hear poet friend Mary Daib of River Forest recite her original poems. Thirty ﬁve women squeezed into Michalski’s living room and kitchen to enjoy these engaging performances, along with a huge variety of food and wines. The Austin Weekly News and Wednesday Journal hosts the West Side Women’s breakfasts. The next event is TBD.

Local women attending the party hosted by Pat Michalski: (From left: Dr. Netta O’Sauza, hostess Pat Michalski, Loretta Christenson, Momma Kemba, Cynthia Turner, Mary Diab and Barb Fasaro.)
