Residents skeptical about Emmet proposal A plan to turn the empty school into a medical facility draws community pushback By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

The proposal to turn currently vacant Robert Emmet Elementary School, 5500 W. Madison St., into a medical facility and a community center was met with apprehension and skepticism by most of the Austin residents who attended an Oct. 11 town hall meeting organized by Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th). While many said that they liked the proposal in theory, they were worried about how it would affect the neighborhood residents and businesses. Many also worried about how far along the process actually was, accusing Taliaferro of not being transparent. One particular concern that loomed over the entire proceedings was that the new facility wouldn’t actually benefit residents, especially when it comes to jobs. Emmet was one of the four Austin schools closed by Chicago Public Schools in the spring of 2013. Since then, one of the other schools, George Leland Elementary School, has been acquired by Austin non-profit Kidz Express. The remaining schools, including Emmet, are still vacant. The proposed facility would be a joint project of the Cook County Health and Hospitals System, the Sinai Health System and the Oak Park-based PCC Wellness Center. All three entities already have facilities in Austin. CCHHS operates the Austin Health Center See EMMET ELEMENTARY on page 5

In praise of ‘black man magic’

Dozens of men gather outside of Deer Rehabilitation Services in North Lawndale on Oct. 15 for a balloon release and to sign a pledge against domestic violence of any kind. “We’ve got to get our black men standing up,” said psychologist Dennis Deer, pictured wearing sunglasses.

$7,500 reward for Austin teen’s murderer(s) An anonymous Oak Brook businessman has pledged an extra $5,000 to West Side clergy’s reward for info into Demetrius Griffin case By LEE EDWARDS Contributing Reporter

With tears rolling down her cheeks, Polynesia Sykes, mother of slain 15-yearold Demetrius Griffin, Jr., made a heartfelt plea to Chicago. “We have to stop this pattern; these people are killing our kids” Sykes said at an

Oct. 11 press conference held at Columbus Park Refectory, 5701 W. Jackson Blvd. During the press conference, members of the West Side-based religious organization the Leaders Network announced that an anonymous donor pledged an additional $5,000 to their standing $2,500 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever murdered the Aus-

tin teenager. Griffin, a Steinmetz High School freshman, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head and severely burned on the 5500 block of West Cortez last month. The Chicago Police Department has yet to announce new information about the case.

Rahm Emanuel, 56, his grandfather’s child Last Thursday, during a roughly hour-long meeting, held inside of his City Hall office, I asked Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to share an experience from his past that motivates him in the present. That’s when he touched upon his family’s deep roots on the West (or ‘Vest’) Side. ‘[The dead] stared at you’ My grandfather on my mother’s side came to this country and this city 100 years ago from a [small Eastern European country bordering Romania and Ukraine] called Moldova. He was 13 years old, didn’t speak a word of English. He came by himself to meet a third cousin he didn’t know. When he got to Chicago, he met my grandmother [during] an Eastern European dance in the old Jewish community that was then called the ‘Vest Side,’ which was Douglas Park and Lawndale. That’s where my mother grew up until they moved to Albany Park. My grandfather and grandmother for years lived with us.

My grandfather was a big guy — six-foot-three, former boxer, meat cutter, truck driver. I got my dad’s side of the family [laughter]. My grandfather was somebody who firmly believed that this city gave him a chance. And I believe it gave me a chance. When I was growing up, my mother and my father hung on the wall the passports of my grandmother and my two great aunts and the purses they brought with them to America. And there were pictures from my father’s family and my mother’s family of relatives who never made it to America. So, when you were watching TV or just hanging out in the family room, your relatives who died in the Holocaust or the pogroms stared at you. Let me tell you, nothing is subtle in a Jewish family [laughter]. And it was my parents’ way of saying, ‘If you’re lucky and you got to this great country, you have to give something back.’ That’s what’s driven me in my life.

In praise of ‘black man magic’

Dozens of black men gather on West Side to pledge against domestic violence, plead for mutual support By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

“Every city in America has a block of undesirable blocks where undesirables subsist,” said poet James McGrew while reciting his poem, “The Block,” during an Oct. 15 100 Men Stand Against Violence Challenge organized by, and held outside of, Deer Rehabilitation Services, 3936 W. Roosevelt Rd., in North Lawndale. “Children on the block pray like this,” McGrew said, halfway singing the lines. “‘Our father which art who knows where, curseth be thy name to kingdom come. You feel me? The block does not love you. You may fight and die for it. But the block will never be yours.” The crowd of several dozen people, most of them men (many of whom were dressed in various schemes of Omega Psi Phi fraternity’s customary royal purple and gold), listened to McGrew and other male speakers share their experiences of growing up on those “undesirable blocks.”

The men, bonded over generations, shared stories of escape and overcoming; of older black men rescuing younger black men; and how that heroic tradition, somehow, was allowed to die; and how it needs to be revived. “Violence is a substance for all of the other things that somebody might be missing,” said U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis (7th), whose short genealogy, many of the men who gathered at the corner believe, illustrates how those life-killing blocks McGrew described might be transformed into more edifying environments. “As Dennis [Deer, the psychologist and president of Deer Rehabilitation Services] was talking, he reminded me that I worked with his mother and father,” Davis said. “Vance Henry, who works for the Mayor of Chicago — I worked with his father and his mother. Ald. Michael Scott, Jr. (24th) — I worked with his daddy, I worked with his mama and I worked with his grandmamma.” “Often times, I see on social media and other medium black girl magic,” said Deer. “Well, I’m going to call it black man magic. We’ve got to get our black men standing up. We’ve got to uplift them and uplift ourselves.” Henry, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s deputy chief of staff and an ordained Baptist minister, grew up in North Lawndale, where he still lives. He said the first time

he ventured beyond the constricting boundaries of his ‘block’ was when the late Michael Scott, Sr. — the former president of the Chicago Board of Education and a longtime political powerhouse in the city — took him on a trip to Michigan. “Somebody asked me the other day, ‘Why do you still live on the West Side? Why do you live in Lawndale?’ I said, ‘Because I am Lawndale,’” Henry recalled. “The first time I stepped outside of this neighborhood, his father,” Henry said, pointing to Ald. Scott, Jr., “took me and some boys [from the neighborhood] up to a ranch in Michigan and it changed our lives. It gave us another sense of what the world was. And while we appreciate the block, we have to understand that it’s the responsibility of black men to help expose other black men. A young black man can’t be a black man unless another black man helps raise him.” Deer, a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, described those interlocking nodes of black male support that Henry and Davis illustrated as “bridge-building.” To put a capstone on last weekend’s bridge of sorts, Deer encouraged the dozens of men gathered in front of his office to sign a Pledge Against Domestic and Community Violence before they released royal purple balloons into the sky. Members of Deer’s staff also collected contact information from residents in

Pledge Against Domestic and Community Violence I, ______________________, acknowledge that I have a responsibility as a man to stand up against any and all acts of violence against women, children, families, friends, neighbors, and the community. I will no longer condone, tolerate, engage, allow, ignore, [and] overlook domestic violence of any nature geared toward anyone. I also pledge to teach my child/ children to respect themselves, humanity, as well as the environment. I will educate neighbors, friends, and family members about non-violent living. This pledge I make will reflect my daily walk as a man who stands on his word. From this day forward, I pledge to stand against any act of violence in society. order to recruit participants for what the psychologist promised would be more outreach efforts to come. “We have to understand,” Deer said, “that unless we’re able to grab [others] and bridgebuild, then our living might be in vain.” CONTACT: michael@oakpark.com

Most members of the Westside Black Elected Officials groups gathered at Austin’s iconic MacArthur’s Restaurant, 5412 W. Madison St., on the morning of Oct. 16 to urge their constituents to get out and vote for Hillary Clinton and all of the other Democratic candidates on Nov. 8 ballot. The officials threw their collective weight behind a slew of candidates, including Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, U.S. Senate candidate Tammy Duckworth and Illinois Comptroller candidate Susanna Mendoza. The West Side lawmakers put particular emphasis on the youth vote. While younger voters may have issues with Clinton, they said, Trump would be worse. “We need to inspire, motivate everyone to come out in Nov. 8,” said 37th Ward Ald. Emma Mitts. “Now is the time to make history and make sure Illinois doesn’t become a red state.” Without calling the Republican presidential candidate by name, state Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (8th) attacked Donald Trump for a leaked 2005 videotape recording in which he brags that his celebrity would allow him to sexually force himself on women without consequences. “Some people in this country want to talk about women in a [crass] way,” he said. “But I have my mother, I have my daughter, I have all of the women leaders.” As she handed out campaign literature to diners, state Rep. Camille Lilly (78th) urged them to do more than simply go out and vote.

“On November 8, don’t go alone,” she said. “Take someone with you.” Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th) appealed to the West Side youth in particular. “We encourage everyone 18 and over to get out,” he said, “and vote in this important election, because we need Hillary Clinton to movie this country forward the way Trump can’t.” U.S. Representative Danny Davis (7th) described this election as the most important that he’s ever been involved in. “It’s important because there are serious efforts to undo the gains we have made over the years,” he said. “There are states where Republicans are making it more difficult for people to vote. We have a governor who’s trying to make it more difficult for people to vote […] One vote; your vote does, in fact, count. And, if you don’t do it, shame on you, because you don’t understand what it is to be an American in a democratic society.” But the response from residents who were dining at MacArthur’s that morning was mixed. Devin Mabins, of Austin, who said he supported Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, wasn’t planning to vote at all. “It’s lose-lose situation,” he said. “Hillary is two-faced and Trump is a racist.” Mabins took a dim view of other races, too. “I’m really not too big on this, either, because it’s all corrupt, all of it,” he said. Robin Sanders, also of Austin, said she originally supported Bernie Sanders, too, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to vote. “I’m hoping that Hillary wins,” she said. “Bernie Sanders had his chance, but he lost it. Best thing to do is get Hillary in and push Trump [out]. I’m just hoping and praying she’ll succeed in the end. We had the first black president and if we have the first woman president that would be good.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

Must-see Netflix internet productions

or years I lived without the internet at home. When times are rough, home telephone service followed by home internet are some of the first things to go. Redbox provided me with movies along with buying some I wanted to see. Then for Christmas in 2014, my daughter bought me a smartphone and I was online again. But when she added Netflix to my phone, it was really began a game-changer. In its heyday of sending DVDs out via the mail, I never used that service. I don’t like going to the movies because I have trained my body that if I’m relaxing, I should sleep. So my initial exploration of Netflix was to watch movies knowing that if I fell asleep, I could resume the movie at the point where I last recalled seeing it. I also love to watch small independent films and movies featuring black people. Beast of No Nation was one of the first I watched, and it set the standard for the kind of movies I could find on Netflix. Just recently I got into watching series on Netflix. Several weeks ago, I applauded the series La Esclava Blanca for its 360-degree portrayal of slavery in Colombia. It did in 62 episodes a better treatment of the subject than any two-hour movie ever could. I followed that series with another one in Narcos. If the series has more than one season of production, I figured it must be good. And it was! The name Pablo Escobar was familiar to me as a drug kingpin, but not his story or the history of his trafficking in cocaine. It was mind-blowing to watch and see all that he was willing to do in order to

maintain his empire. I was now hooked. I had previously tried watching Marco Polo but don’t know why I stopped watching it. So seeing that it, too, had two seasons of shows, I gave it another shot. Again a very excellent production. I had been hearing and seeing rumblings about a new series, Luke Cage. I hadn’t paid much attention to anything beyond the headlines as I just wasn’t interested. But a series featuring a predominately black cast and having a black action hero was compelling. So rather than base my opinion on what others were saying, I decided to watch it for myself. Growing up, I read all the comic books my brother brought home. But I don’t recall ever seeing any black heroes in them in the 1960s. So the notion of a black superhero who had bullets bounce off his skin peaked my curiosity. And for me, the show didn’t disappoint. What I enjoyed most is how pro-black the series is. The characters talk about black people and history with reverence. Yes, it has profanity and the word “nigga” is bandied about as freely as some folks use it. But I can overlook it simply because the context balances off with black people who are at every level of society. What I also enjoyed was getting to see black actors whose faces are new to me. It is nice to see black actors and actresses getting a chance to perform their craft. If you have access to the internet, either via smartphone or home connections, I highly recommend subscribing to Netflix (if only for a month) to support this series.

[AustinTalks] An Oak Park man wants to bring the performing arts to urban communities throughout Chicago including Austin. Daryl Satcher, a professional actor, director, writer and teacher, is staging his play – “Mr. Mars Meets Ms. Venus” – at the ESO Theater 5401-03 W. Madison. The play, which takes the audience on a journey from the battle of the sexes to the battle within, ends this coming weekend. Besides Satcher, the play, which was co-written with Tresalyn Bray, stars Camille Cadenhead, Dana Chaifeuy, Robert Hardaway, Randle Michael and Deja Anderson Ross. It’s being staged at the only theater in Austin, though Chicago has over 200 small theater companies, according to the League of Chicago Theaters. Satcher’s passion for theater has inspired him to bring the arts to Chicago neighborhoods that lack the resources for performing arts programs found in other parts of the city. “I knew when I did my next play I wanted to do a play on the West Side of Chicago,” Satcher said. “From the exact moment I walked in I knew this was the right space for me. It wasn’t perfect, but at the same time it was perfect for me; it was like God spoke to my heart.” Tickets are still available for “Mr. Mars Meets Ms. Venus,” with final performances slated for 7:3o p.m. Oct. 21st and 22nd. The box office for ESO Theater, 5401 W. Madison, is open 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday Read mpore at AustinTalks.org.

New grocer seeks to move into former Moo & Oink store

Eats Groceries owner Thom Alcazar says his store would be an affordable, better Whole Foods By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

A new grocer is looking to move into the former Moo & Oink store and it promises to be unlike any grocery store Chicago has ever seen. Eats Groceries wouldn’t have aisles and shelves. Instead, customers would order food through touch screens, and it would be delivered to them from the warehouse space in the back. Shoppers would have to buy memberships. Shuttle buses would deliver customers to the store, and they’ll be able to take advantage of the kids area and cooking demonstrations. Owner Thom Alcazar told Austin Weekly News that all he’d need is to get $5 million in Tax Increment Financing district funding. Once he gets the TIF funds, he said, he’ll purchase the building. He expects to have the store open in 6 to 8 months. Moo & Oink was located at 4848 W. Madison Ave, near the Madison/Cicero intersection. It closed in 2011 after 30 years in Austin. Since then, the store has been vacant. In July

2014, Ald. Jason Ervin (28th), whose ward includes that part of the community, told Austin Weekly News that he was looking for a new tenant to move into the facility, but he wanted to make sure it was something the community wanted. By that point, Alcazar was already pitching his concept in various neighborhoods. He said that he has experience in warehouse management and transportation, and noted that he will have people with experience running grocery stores on board. “We got several investors and we got investors that are actually experts in varied fields,” he said. “My area of expertise is in supply chain management, and we’re using those supply chain management principles to make [Eats Groceries] successful long-term.” In the spring of 2016, Alcazar was looking for a space on the West Side. He grew up in KTown, near the intersection of Van Buren/Keeler intersection. He originally wanted to open Eats Groceries in North Lawndale, but he said that the TIF district on the site he was looking for expired and he decided to look elsewhere. Alcazar said that the amount of TIF funds he’s seeking are less than what the much-touted Whole Foods Englewood store received. “We’re going to be doing about half the funds that were allocated for that Whole Foods store that’s in Englewood,” he said. “Because of our small location, we need $5 million.”

IGOR STUDENKOV/Contributor

NEW LEASE ON LIFE?: The former Moo & Oink at 4848 W. Madison Ave. could host a new tenant, a grocery store called Eats Groceries. Alcazar approached Ervin and Ald. Emma Mitts (37th). He said that he and Ervin had several meetings over the past few months. He also met with Austin clergy. Alcazar said that they all urged him to use the Moo & Oink location. Alcazar presented his concept to 28th ward residents at an August community meeting, and he presented the concept to the 37th Ward residents at Mitts’ Sept. 22 community meeting. He told the residents that he was optimistic about the store’s prospects. “If there isn’t a supermarket within two miles of us, there isn’t much competition,” Alcazar said. “Probably we’re going to be popular if we have good prices.”

He also said he would hire staff locally. “We think it’s going to be easy to hire in the community, because there are a lot of people who need jobs,” Alcazar said. “If we hire people from the community that are unemployed, underemployed or disadvantaged, we get [government] money for training.” In a follow-up interview, Alcazar said that he would be reaching out to organizations that help ex-offenders find jobs, as well as organizations that specialize in job-training. The store would also have a “youth entrepreneurship program” for local teens, where they would be paid to distribute fliers advertising Eats Grocery. CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

The owners of a new coffeehouse set to open next month in Oak Park have ambitions that go beyond serving cups of java. L!VE Cafe, scheduled to open in mid-November at 136 S. Oak Park Ave., will be “an event cafe and creative space that aims to build bridges between communities with different demographic make ups, specifically the Oak Park and Austin communities,” according to co-owner Darrel Washington. Washington, a self-described coffee enthusiast, said in addition to that larger mission, the cafe’s product will be more sophisticated than west suburban and West Side consumers may be used to. “Specialty coffee shops don’t exist anywhere in the area,” Washington said. “This will be a place where you can experience a coffee tasting, a nitro brew and really dive into the culture of coffee as opposed to going somewhere with the mindset, ‘I need coffee, so I’ll just get a cup.’” Washington said L!VE will have two primary roasters of specialty-grade coffee — Wheaton-based River City Roasters and I Have a Bean — each of which blends their roasting production with social values. “River City is very mission-driven and focused on building relationships — not just stateside, but across the waters where farmers themselves are,” Washington said. “I Have a Bean focuses on hiring felons. They’ve developed a process of roasting that’s easy enough for someone coming fresh out of jail who needs money to learn and make a living on without spending years in school.”

Washington’s wife, Resheeda, a former Oak Park and River Forest High School English teacher, said the couple envisions the space as an intersection of diverse ideas, people and experiences. “We have a significant heart and passion for bringing communities together,” Reesheda said. “When we see communities like Austin that are resilient in non-fiscal ways, robust and dignified and proud, and they’re situated next to communities like Oak Park, which may have many of those same tenets in addition to having financial resources along with socioeconomic robustness — we think there’s an opportunity for some mutuality. We think those communities can learn from each other.” She said they want to “shift away from” a model of philanthropy that’s a one-way street, with limited resources flowing from wealthy communities into relatively impoverished ones with little to no reciprocity. “We want to think about the assets of both communities and how they can strengthen and grow each other,” she said. The couple provided much of the startup capital for the cafe out of their own pockets, she said, but additional resources came in the form of people they consider partners giving small donations over a period of roughly a year, plus volunteers giving time and in-kind donations (like furniture for the cafe), and substantial funding from Community Bank of Oak Park-River Forest. The latter, the couple said, decided to take a risk on the non-traditional nature of their business concept. “They were willing to work with us and come up with a plan and some possibilities that have helped us to exist,” Reesheda said, “so we’re grateful for the pliability that they’ve exhibited as a partner.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

Polynesia Sykes, the mother of slain 15-year-old Demetrius Griffin, Jr., during an Oct. 11 press conference announcing a $7,500 award for information about her son’s murder.

$5,000 increase from page 1

Leaders Network Co-Chair Rev. Ira Acree, pastor of Greater St. John Bible Church in Austin, explained that the donor, who requested anonymity, is a white businessman who lives in Oak Brook. He said the donor met with Sykes prior to the press conference to share his encouraging words in person. Acree challenged anyone with information regarding the killing of Griffin to come forward, “because you have to stand for something at the end of the day.” “If the cold-blooded killing of Demetrius Griffin, Jr. doesn’t touch your heart, I don’t know if you have one,” said Acree. The West Side pastor said the Leaders Network consistently works to prevent murders within its sphere of influence. “All of our churches have active ministries, particularly with young people,” said Acree. “Members of our congregations and the pastors live in these communities and we’re not lost on the fact that we live here and we’re seeking the capture of cold-blooded killers. We’re not afraid of doing it publically.” Leaders Network Co-Chair Rev. Mashall Hatch, pastor of New Mount Pilgrim Mis-

Performing Arts Center

GRIFFIN REWARD

sionary Baptist Church, said he’s known the Griffin and Sykes families for many years and called Demetrius’ murder a “barbaric” act. He said that, until justice is served, the community cannot “go back to business as usual.” “We cannot have closure as long as this criminal or criminals are still walking the streets,” said Hatch. “If he was not safe, then that means none of us are safe. So, to dignify the memory of Demetrius Griffin, Jr., let’s solve this crime together.” Mary Bender, a relative of Griffin, called his murder “sad,” “brutal,” and “unbelievable.” She recalled Demetrius’ baptism and described him as a “good child,” before expressing her appreciation for the Leaders Network’s efforts. “They’re just trying to find the killer, because Demetrius was one of our own; he belonged to the church community,” said Bender. “By God’s will, the murderer is going to be found. I just know it, because I believe in our father. I just can’t see him letting something like this happen to a 15-year-old child like this.” Bender said the entire Austin community and individuals through social media have lent their prayers and support for the family over the past few weeks. If you have information about Griffin’s murder, contact Chicago Police Department detectives at (312) 744-8261. CONTACT: leeme117@gmail.com
