With nod, Enyia has more than a Chance

West Side mayoral candidate Amara Enyia says endorsement is no flash in the pan

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Amara Enyia’s campaign for Chicago mayor made national news last week after Chance the Rapper announced that he would endorse the West Side resident, giving her bid to replace incumbent Mayor Rahm Emanuel some significant traction.

“Chicago needs new leadership, it needs a new mayor, so I’m proud to announce that I will not be running for mayor,” Chance said during an Oct. 16 press conference at City Hall, squelching rumors that he would jump in the crowded field, which includes roughly two dozen contenders, himself.

Instead, the Grammy-winning rapper said, he plans to transfer his star power to Enyia, the head of the Austin Chamber of Commerce who many political observers and media pundits consider a long-shot.

“If I back you, you have a chance, absolutely,” Chance said. “I want to work with somebody that’s about change, somebody that’s about our community.’

Enyia said that she and the rapper have See ENYIA on page 6

BREATHE, THEN FIGHT: Fred Hampton Jr.’s efforts to save the boyhood home of his late father, slain Black Panther Fred Hampton Sr. received a boost of momentum on Sunday, when supporters learned a pending foreclosure auction had been stayed.

Fred Hampton’s boyhood home saved, for now An Oct. 23 foreclosure sale has been canceled as attorneys try to establish ownership

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The childhood home of slain Black Panther leader Fred Hampton, 804 S. 17th Ave. in Maywood, will not be up for auction this week, as was originally scheduled, buying community leaders some more time in their attempts to keep the home in the Hampton family.

The ongoing ordeal, many community leaders said, should nonetheless serve as an opportunity for many people to learn about

the factors that led to the home going into foreclosure in the first place.

According to the website of the Judicial Sales Corporation, the foreclosure sale — which was supposed to be at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 23 — has been canceled for now.

A coalition of community members led by Fred Hampton’s son, Fred Hampton, Jr., had been frantically trying to raise money ahead of the scheduled foreclosure auction in order to save the home.

Hampton Jr. learned that the home was

on the auction listing roughly a month ago.

According to the Judicial Sales Corporation, the judgement owed to U.S. Bank was around $71,000, prompting Hampton Jr., the chairman of the Black Panther Party Cubs, to start a fundraising campaign.

According to Cook County Recorder of Deeds records, Hampton’s parents, Iberia and Francis, took out a $265,000 adjustable rate subprime loan on the house in 2007.

Austin Weekly News, October 24, 2018

HAMPTON HOME Breathing room from page 1 “One of the things that was striking about this was that the loan in 2007 is by far one of the worst loans that Recorder Yarbrough or I has ever seen and we’ve seen thousands of mortgages,” said Mario Reed, the recorder’s director of public information.

“This was a several hundred thousanddollar mortgage, with a 9.8 percent interest rate,” Reed said. “And because it was an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest rate could go all the way up to 15.8 percent. That’s predatory lending.”

Recorder of Deeds records show that US Bank, LaSalle Bank and Bank of America currently own the loan.

Reed said that US Bank, the primary lender, foreclosed on the property without contacting the owner. Currently, he explained, the home belongs to the estate of Iberia Hampton, Hampton’s mother.

“In Cook County, most foreclosure cases take between 12 and 18 months, on average, because banks are required to negotiate with the owner — something that came out of the 2008 foreclosure crisis,” Reed said. “We don’t want banks to take people’s houses without having to negotiate with the owner of the properties.”

Attorney Khaliq Muhammad said that no member of the Hampton family has any legal standing to negotiate with the bank.

“We’re now in the process of getting Fred Hampton Jr. and his cousins to become the rightful owners of the property,” Reed said.

“The process has to go through probate court, which is typically a lengthy process, but there are some ways, such as a proof of heirship, by which you can make the process go faster.”

Muhammad said that another attorney, Ted London, will represent the Hamptons during a probate court hearing scheduled for Oct. 30 at 10:15 a.m. Muhammad explained that once legal ownership is established, he’ll represent Hampton Jr. and his cousins as they attempt to negotiate better loan conditions with US Bank.

“The goal still remains to reach a payoff amount, so that, ultimately, the home is paid in full,” Muhammad said, adding that until those negotiations start, the family will not know exactly how much is owed on the home.

“I’m still getting my feet wet learning about this,” Hampton Jr. said. “We don’t know how many resources we’re going to need to save this house.”

Hampton Jr. had initially set a fundraising goal of $80,000, which he said was required to cease the pending foreclosure auction, and another $200,000, which he said was required to fund repairs and bring the building up to code in order to eventually turn the home into a museum, which is Hampton Jr.’s wish.

So far, Hampton Jr. and his supporters have raised more than $11,000 through two GoFundMe campaigns — one started by

community activist Anthony Clark on behalf of the Democratic Socialists of America and another started by Carol Fife.

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Save the Hampton House, was also created to help raise funds.

Shukura Sentwali, the finance minister of the Black Panther Cubs, said during Sunday’s meeting at Irving that people who want to give can make checks payable to Effect Real Change, Inc. c/o Save the Hampton House.

The checks should be mailed to 604 North Third Street, Monroe, LA 71201, if people don’t donate online. The Sunday afternoon meeting, which was held during a fundraising block party on the grounds of Irving school, was supposed to be followed by a meeting later that evening to tally the money raised before the expected Oct. 23 auction.

Since that auction has been stayed, the evening meeting was canceled. Supporters have, instead, scheduled a meeting for Nov. 1,

7 p.m., at Irving, in order to determine next steps, which could include trying to establish the home as a local landmark.

Some people have recommended that the funds be directed to one centralized source — preferably one within Illinois. Hampton Jr. emphasized that his father’s boyhood home symbolizes “an international phenomenon.”

“In order to make this an institution,” he said, “it will take not just the local neighborhood, but people from all over the world.”

Reed and Recorder Yarbrough said that people observing the saga of the Hampton home should take the situation as an object lesson.

“It is imperative that anytime someone owns property in the state, and especially in Cook County, that you have a plan in place as to who you want to take ownership of your house when you pass away,” Reed said.

“There’s a tool that’s been available since 2012 called a Transfer on Death Instrument,” he said. “You can designate who you want to be your beneficiary upon your death.

“Fill out a single form at the recorder’s website, get it notarized by two witnesses, pay $50 to record it and you can ensure that the second you pass, the person you list as your beneficiary will automatically become the owner of the property and no bank can foreclose on your property without them first talking to your beneficiary.”

“We have a fraud unit at the recorder’s office, avail yourself to it,” Yarbrough said.

“Go to cookrecorder.com. You can always find [the unit] and it can answer any and all questions dealing with these kind of mortgages.”

Stan McKinney, a former Black Panther member who was once Huey Newton’s bodyguard, said that he was glad that the attorneys currently representing the Hampton family in the fight to save Hampton Sr.’s boyhood home are African American.

“When we were faced with trumped-up cases [in the past], most of the legal assistance we got was from white lawyers,” he said. “I’m very, very elated that black folk have stepped up to the plate. I’m elated to see black folk come together and be part of the process.”

For Rosalio Medina, a Latino from Forest Park, Hampton’s legacy was multicultural — a fact that McKinney reinforced by channeling the slain Black Panther leader’s famous Rainbow Coalition.

Hampton Sr. was assassinated in 1969 by Chicago Police and federal law enforcement officials during a raid that was authorized by the Cook County State’s Attorney. At the time of his assassination, Hampton was in the process of attempting to form a multiracial, multiethnic coalition of community groups in order to fight against various social injustices.

“Hampton represented not just blacks and Latinos, but everyone,” Medina said. “From this situation, we must learn that we have to be together, because they want to divide us.”

Austin restaurant to be featured on TV show

Chef Daddy’s will get spotlight on Nov. 11 episode of ‘Chicago’s Best’

By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

It was lights, camera and culinary action at Chef Daddy’s restaurant, 5944 W. Lake St, near on Oct. 9 as filming for an upcoming episode of Chicago’s Best got underway. The show airs on WGN-TV on Sundays at 10 p.m.

During each episode, Chicago’s Best profiles four restaurants based on some kind of theme, with the hosts interviewing the owners and tasting the food during the course of a single visit. Chef Daddy’s will be part of the show’s upcoming Soul Food episode, which will air on Nov. 11.

Chef Daddy’s was founded by Terry Green and his fiancé, Alicia Cuevas, nearly four years ago. The couple live in Oak Park, but they were no strangers to the nearby Austin at the time they founded the restaurant. One day, they were walking past 5944 W. Lake St and noticed that a Mexican restaurant that used to be there closed and the space was available for rent.

Although Green had been working as an IT director, he obtained some restaurant experience while working for his grandmother’s restaurants in St. Louis. He thought it was a great opportunity to bring his grandmother’s recipes to Chicago. The couple also thought that Austin residents deserved something better than the kind of fast food most neighborhood eateries offer.

“We wanted to offer home cooked meals in the Austin community,” Cuevas said.

“We wanted to be able to serve them cooked meals instead of typical fast food.”

Chef Daddy’s offers soul food staples such as collard greens, barbeque chicken, catfish, chitterlings and peach cobblers. Cuevas said that they take pride in the fact that their barbeque items are smoked and not baked, and

that they have chitterlings available every day.

The dinners, which come with two sides and cornbread, fall within $10 to $12 range, and the restaurant offers $4.99 specials on Tuesdays through Saturdays, along with various daily deals.

Green handles much of the day-to-day operations and the cooking. Cuevas works fulltime as a nurse, but she bakes the cakes, manages the restaurant’s social media presence and generally helps out whenever she can.

Their family members work there as well, and they employee three Austin residents.

As for the name, it has roots in the owners’ relationship.

“When he and I first started dating, he cooked for me,” Cuevas said. “He cooked breakfast for me and I called him ‘my chef daddy. That’s how we got the restaurant’s name.”

While many of the customers come from nearby Austin and Oak Park, she said that they get customers from as far west as Aurora. On Sundays, Cuevas said, the line tends to stretch out the door.

The restaurants that get featured on “Chicago’s Best” come from viewer suggestions.

Host Marley Kayden said that they got a lot of glowing recommendations for Chef Daddy’s.

They had wanted to feature the business for a while, and the upcoming episode focusing on soul food was a good opportunity.

Kayden said that, on any given episode, they try to feature five restaurants — one from the North Side, one from the South Side, one from the West Side, one from the suburbs and one “wild card.”

Adwoa Watts, a lifelong Austin resident, is a CTA bus driver who said that she stops at Chef Daddy’s to grab lunch around once a week. She said she’s been eating there ever since it opened.

“All of the food [here] is good,” she said. “[What makes the food great is] the heart.

[Green] cares a lot about making good food. My grandma had a saying: ‘Anyone can cook food, but if it doesn’t have a heart, it isn’t good.’”

‘THIS IS OUR CHANCE’: Chance the Rapper and Amara Enyia during an Oct. 16 press conference at City Hall, where the rapper announced his endorsement of the West Side community leader’s mayoral bid.

ENYIA

Campaign boost from page 1 “been in the trenches on the city’s behalf,” before listing the various social activism campaigns that the two have participated in some capacity — from the #NoCopAcademy protests against a planned police training facility on the West Side to organizing against the closure of 50 CPS schools to mental health advocacy.

“This is our chance to break away, no pun intended, from the status quo,” Enyia said. “[This is our] chance to set forth a vision that gives hope to youth, stability to adults and safety and security to our seniors.”

After last week’s endorsement, Chance’s father, former Emanuel mayoral aide Ken Bennett, released a statement of his own reinforcing his support for Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, who is also running for mayor.

“I’m immensely proud of my son Chance, not only for pursuing his success with a clear, individual point of view but for continuing to use his success to advocate for his City,” Bennett stated. “We may have different views on this race, but we share an unshakable love for each other and this city.”

Bennett said of Preckwinkle that “there is no one else who has the experience, expertise and work ethic to bring real reform to our City.”

During a Facebook Live question and answer session on Oct. 17, Enyia acknowledged that the endorsement “is a huge boon to our campaign,” before explaining how her political relationship with the famous rapper has evolved since they first met not too long ago.

“Chance apparently has been a fan of mine for quite some time and I’ve been a fan of his for a while, too, but we never met each other,” she said. “We were never formally introduced until a short while ago.”

Enyia said that she and Chance “found

“We are actually going to be partnering throughout the duration of the campaign. This is actually the first step, the ground level.”

ourselves in some of the same spaces, which is interesting.” The rapper, she said, reached out to her “out of the blue” to talk about what’s necessary for the city.

“The endorsement is the result of those initial connections,” Enyia said, before emphasizing that Chance’s announcement would not be the typical celebrity political endorsement.

“I think for a lot of people who might be wondering, ‘What’s the significance of a celebrity endorsement?’ To that I say that Chance and I have been very intentional about this not being a flash in the pan,” she said.

“We are actually going to be partnering throughout the duration of the campaign,” she said. “This is actually the first step, the ground level.”

Enyia said that a critical aspect of her campaign will focus on expanding the electorate beyond the 30 percent of likely voters that typically show up for city elections.

“We see our campaign as a way of not just changing whoever is on the fifth floor of City Hall, but about getting more people excited about being involved [in the political process],” she said, adding that her campaign will do “a lot of voter education and voter registration. We also have a huge [Get Out the Vote] strategy for registration and election day. That really sets our campaign apart.”

BIG WEEK

I

Help us solve this 25-year-old murder

t’s been over 25 years, but the sound of the gunshots that went off that Saturday afternoon still reverberate in my mind.

My daughter was 11 and I, in a moment of acknowledging that she was old enough, gave her permission, along with one of her friends, to cross North Avenue to go to Beefee at the corner of Lockwood and North Avenue for food. The two girls had just gotten back and were sitting down to eat when the thundering sound of those gunshots went off. The shooter continuing firing as he was driven up my street, forever shattering the image of the calm and peaceful street I purposely chose to live on.

The hail of gunfire didn’t kill the person that they wanted dead. Rather, 14-year-old Rolanda “Kesia” Marshall became the unintended victim. Fourteen or more bullets were fired into that restaurant and one of them hit her.

The bullet tore through her head and severed her brain stem. She went into a coma and was placed on life support.

She remained in that state for nine days until finally on Sept. 6, 1993, her mother, Alice Norris, made the decision that no mother should ever have to make.

She had her brain-dead child taken off life support and allowed her to die.

I never knew Rolanda but through her mother I learned that she was a gifted honor student, who had just graduated from Portage Park School. A

wiz at science, she helped other students who weren’t as proficient as she. While at the school, she also started a club called the “LGs,” Lovely Girls, a tribute to the way she was raised, and it went along with her infectious smile. Rolanda was a singer, dancer, actress, writer, cook, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Her tragic death made her mother a member of the club none of us ever want to join — parent of a murdered child.

Following Rolanda’s murder, the Austin community didn’t show the kind of outrage we should have over such a heinous act. I don’t know why that murder seemed to have gone under the radar. What I do recall is that after the incident happened, we didn’t hear much else. But this coming Friday, Oct. 26 at 3 p.m., Rolanda’s mother, along with others, will be at the corner of Lockwood and North avenues. They will be passing out fliers, hosting a balloon release, and asking people to come forward to help solve the murder 25 years later.

We can atone for what we didn’t do back then by coming out and joining Ms. Alice and the others who are the parents of murdered children. Somebody knows something and it’s never too late to tell.

A mother’s love is only overshadowed by a mother’s grief. Let’s give Ms. Alice the satisfaction of seeing her child’s killer brought to justice.

Women in Leadership – Now more than ever!

This year, we are celebrating our fourth Women in Leadership Conference. We hope you will join us in recognizing, honoring and promoting the accomplishments and leadership of local woman. Given the events and struggles of the past year, it is safe to say that this conference has never been a more necessary and urgent priority.

Carey Carlock and I are proud of the continued growth and positive energy this event has generated over the past four years. We are excited to once again welcome hundreds of incredible women to Riveredge Hospital on October 24, 2018, to meet, network with a purpose, and be inspired by our collective greatness.

Now, more than ever, we need to encourage, enlist, educate and empower women to become leaders. And not just in national politics, but right here in our local communities, in local businesses and local board rooms. Coming together and engaging as a group is a powerful way to move this effort forward. You can play a vital role by attending, supporting and/or sponsoring the Women in Leadership Conference!

Dawn Ferencak, Associate Publisher, Wednesday Journal Publications

Dawn Ferencak

When Dawn first approached me about starting the Women in Leadership Conference four years ago, I was intrigued. While I greatly appreciate the opportunities that have been afforded me in my life, I recognize that similar opportunities have not been so available to everyone. Thus I wholeheartedly agreed to create an event – an experience to celebrate the opportunities we have, and to validate and empathize with those women who still feel that their ceiling is too low and too dense. The Women in Leadership Conference is an event where we can reflect together and hear one another.

Carey Carlock

Together we can and are doing amazing and honorable work. Whether you lead a family, a church group or a fortune 500 company, we are all leaders. It is important that we acknowledge, honor and inspire one another. Women, as natural healers and motivators understand this. I give thanks for the opportunities I have to be part of a community of such powerful and wise women leaders.

WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

COMMITTEE SPOTLIGHT: RIVEREDGE HOSPITAL WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO YOUR INDUSTRY?

CONFERENCE

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO LISTENING AND TO TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. AS A HIGHLY RELATIONAL PERSON, I BELIEVE THERE IS GREAT HEALING IN BEING PRESENT, EMPATHIC, CURIOUS AND LOVING. TO ME, THAT IS WHAT EMBODIES MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS.

WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU WANT TO SEND TO WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY?

WOMEN ARE NATURAL HEALERS. WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY, WHETHER THAT IS WITHIN A FAMILY, NEIGHBORHOOD OR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. WE OFTEN INTUITIVELY IDENTIFY PEOPLE'S ASSETS RATHER THAN THEIR DEFICITS. FOCUSING ON DEFICITS BRINGS DOWN THE COMMON DENOMINATOR RATHER THAN UPLIFTING AND LIBERATING TALENT. FOCUSING ON PEOPLE'S STRENGTHS AND TALENTS CAN UNLEASH ALL KINDS OF UNREALIZED BEAUTY AND POTENTIAL.

WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU WANT TO SEND TO WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY?

AS WOMEN, WE FACE EXTERNAL CHALLENGES TO OUR LEADERSHIP AND SUCCESS. IN SPITE OF THESE EVER PRESENT CHALLENGES, WE MUST WALK UNAPOLOGETICALLY IN OUR OWN AUTHENTIC POWER. WE MUST KNOW WHO WE ARE, BELIEVE IN WHO WE ARE AND CHANGE (IF NEEDED) WHO WE ARE TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS. TAKE A SEAT AT THE TABLE AND DON'T BE SILENCED. REMEMBER, THE BATTLE CRY HEARD ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHEN SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN WAS SILENCED IN THE SENATE. "NEVERTHELESS, SHE PERSISTED."

Study delves into reasons youths carry guns

Austin, N. Lawndale among areas Urban Institute surveyed

A recent study by the Urban Institute, a Washington D.C.-based economic and social policy think tank, paints a vivid picture of why guns are so prevalent among young people on the West and South Sides; indeed, so prevalent that roughly one in three youths in some Chicago neighborhoods has carried a gun at some point in their lives.

The young people, the study showed, simply want guns to protect themselves and their loved ones. Many of them, in fact, have been victimized by guns in the past. They have little to no faith that the police can keep them safe, and they feel that more police will not make the situation any better. One solution that will work, they believe, is providing access to more jobs.

The Urban Institute teamed up with community organizations working to stop violence in four community areas that have seen high rates of violent crime — Austin, North Lawndale, Englewood and AuburnGresham — in order to obtain that feedback.

The organization surveyed 345 young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 — 57 percent of whom were men. In every survey question, participants were asked to rank responses based on how much they agreed or disagreed with them, which meant that they could pick as many options as they wanted.

Jocelyn Fontaine, one of several Urban Institute fellows who conducted the study, said that the results varied by neighborhood; but, for the purpose of the study, they looked at the responses from all four communities as one set of data.

The study revealed that about one out of three participants carried a gun, with 93 perfect of them carrying a gun unlawfully. That said, only seven percent of that number said they always carried a gun while 45 percent “rarely” carried one, 32 percent carried one “sometimes” and 16 percent carried one “often.”

When asked why they carried a gun, 93 percent reported that they carried for personal protection, while protecting loved ones or their business got 84 percent and 11 percent of the responses, respectively. Twentythree percent indicated they carried a gun “to protect [their] reputation” and 11 percent said they carried guns as part of a job.

The study found that respondents who carried guns were more likely to be either victims of a crime or know someone who was a victim of a crime. This was especially true if they or someone they knew had been shot.

Fontaine said that police, social service providers, educators and city officials should take a “trauma-informed” approach to addressing crime and gun violence.

“[They need to recognize] that individuals in the neighborhoods have experienced trauma — the trauma of gun violence. [There should be] a focus on repairing harm and addressing the trauma.”

JOCELYN FOUNTAINE Urban Institute fellow

“[They need to recognize] that individuals in the neighborhoods have experienced trauma — the trauma of gun violence,” she said. “[There should be] a focus on repairing harm and addressing the trauma.”

The study also revealed that the youth usually either bought guns from street dealers, borrowed them from family and friends or stole them. Around 30 percent said they had friends or family members buy guns for them. And the majority of the respondents believed that if they sold a gun, carried a gun or shot someone, they weren’t likely to get caught.

Fontaine said that the last part especially surprised her, even knowing how many crimes go unsolved.

“It makes sense, but it’s pretty surprising that young adults feel that they’re unlikely to get caught, and unlikely to get caught for shooting someone,” she said. “It’s striking and it’s a cause of concern.”

Fontaine also said that she was concerned that young people feel that they are more likely to get caught carrying a gun than they are to get caught for shooting someone.

The study noted that this lack of concern among young people who carry guns may have to do with mistrust of the police. Seventy-one percent of all respondents said that cops stop people “for no good reason.” Sixty-four percent of all respondents said that they themselves were stopped for no good reason.

Ultimately, Fontaine said, she and the other researchers hope that the study will get community organizations, the city and elected officials to have conversations about the best ways to address the issue of gun violence and think creatively about the solutions.

“The city officials and the police need to do better jobs thinking about strategies they use when they’re protecting people,” she said. “I hope this gives city officials some pause and gives them evidence that they need to consider additional strategies about how to help folks in these neighborhoods safe.”

Registered voters can go to various locations across West Side

By BLAIR PADDOCK AustinTalks

Early voting for the Nov. 6 general election has started at the Loop Super Site, 175 W. Washington St. and at two locations in Austin.

Registered voters can cast their ballots for governor, attorney general and a host of other offices, including state representative and members of Congress, from 9 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the downtown location as well as in the 29th Ward at Amundsen Park (6200 W. Bloomingdale) and the 37th Ward at West Chicago Avenue Library (4856 W. Chicago).

While some races are contested, many other seats up for election are uncontested.

Incumbent state Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (D8th) faces no competition. Ford, who’s served in the Illinois House since 2007, has been gathering signatures to run for mayor of Chicago in the February municipal election.

Although Ford is running uncontested like many other candidates, he said he still encourages people to vote.

“When the community is engaged it sends

11

Your guide to early voting a message that we should be respected in the community,” Ford said.

Brandon Johnson is the Democratic candidate for Cook County Board Commissioner for the 1st District. Johnson, running for office for the first time and facing no opposition this fall, has been endorsed by the SunTimes. He won the March primary, beating incumbent Richard Boykin.

Johnson, an Austin resident who’s worked for CPS and the Chicago Teachers Union, said he hopes to revitalize the community.

His priorities include improving the health care system and public safety in Austin, which will spur economic growth.

Austin has been “depleted,” Johnson said.

“If we do not have local elected officials who are willing to stand up and fight and protect and extend services, we’re going to keep losing.”

Incumbent Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-7th) faces Republican candidate Craig Cameron. Davis, who’s served in the U.S. House for two decades, was endorsed by both the Tribune and the Sun-Times.

Cameron, a first-time candidate originally from New Orleans, said if elected, he would work to create safer streets and get more funding for after-school programs. Cameron said he hopes running against Davis will “wake [him] up.”

“The bottom line is things on the South and West sides aren’t getting any better, they’re getting worse,” Cameron said. “That means that

something’s not being done correctly, and maybe this will let him know that he has it too easy.”

Also on this fall’s ballot is this question, asking if the city of Chicago and state of Illinois should “work together to construct a new Comprehensive High School in the 29th Ward to be placed in the Austin Community.”

The vote is non-binding and does not mean there will be a new high school constructed if voters approve the question. However, Ford said he has met with CPS CEO Janice Jackson, who told him the Chicago Board of Education will take into account this input from the community.

“You have to build the support from the community, and then the board will work with the communities in order to provide public education,” Ford said.

The state lawmaker said he hopes Austin residents will vote “yes” for this question.

This new school would differ from the other six high schools operating in Austin because of its college preparatory focus, he added.

“When you see a community that struggles with good education, property values begin to stay stagnant or go down, and you begin to see people leave,” Ford said. “Highquality education drives the population up, and it drives a more vibrant community.”

Turnout in the last general election two years ago was 67.23 percent in the 29th Ward according to the Board of Election Commis-

sioners for the City of Chicago, while in the 37th Ward, there was a 61.59 percent voter turnout. The average turnout of all 50 Chicago wards was 71.04 percent.

Millennials, those aged 18 to 35, are now as large a political force as Baby Boomers, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data by the Pew Research Center. Earlier this week, Ford encouraged millennials as well as ex-offenders to show their voting power in this election.

Voting rights in Illinois are automatically restored when prisoners are released, Ford said, and people on parole or probation can vote. Exoffenders should re-register to vote, he said.

Dick Simpson, a political science professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, predicted voter turnout will be high compared to past years because of the 2016 elections and the hot-button issues, such as public safety, education and property taxes.

“I think everyone learned in 2016 how important elections can be, and everyone feels like there is more at stake at elections than previously,” Simpson said.

There’s still time to register to vote. Online registrations are still being accepted through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21. You can also register in person at early voting sites from Oct. 22 through Nov. 5. For more information, click here.

Voters can also find midterm election information in the Sun-Times’ and Tribune’s voting guides.

CPD officer’s memory stills strong with nonprofit

Clifton P. Lewis Foundation hosted another rally in honor of cop killed in 2011

By CONNOR S. CARYNSKI AustinTalks

The annual Clifton P. Lewis Foundation Back to School Rally is more than an opportunity for students to get school supplies, it’s a way for Tamara Tucker to remember the life of her fiancé, 15th District Officer Clifton Lewis, who died in a 2011 off-duty shooting.

Officer Lewis, an eight-year CPD veteran, was shot and killed during a robbery at an Austin convenient story where Lewis worked part-time as a security guard. Lewis had proposed to Tucker just days before his death; he also left behind his mother and then-11-year-old daughter.

“You never ever get over it, but a good part about it is the memories,” Tucker said. “I have great memories of Cliff and I together from the time we met until the time I had to say goodbye, and that’s another way to give back. I give back in memory of.”

In its third year, Tucker’s book drive distributed dozens of book bags full of books, pencils and folders earlier this month at the West Chicago Avenue Branch library, 4856 W. Chicago Ave..

“I didn’t think it would get as big as it is,” Tucker said. “It’s not accolades for me, I don’t want recognition. I do it because it’s a passion, and I wanted it to be in remembrance of the officer who patrolled the Austin area who loved his job. This book drive here is a remembrance of that gentle giant that he was, who always wanted to give back to the community.”

Tucker said she organizes the drive after school has already started because she does not want to take away from other larger school

drives, and also so her event can replenish supplies students still need or may have lost.

State Rep. La Shawn Ford (8th) attended last weekend’s event to show his support and praised the program for bringing community attention to libraries.

“The public library is something that is almost becoming like a dinosaur, so anytime there are events that invite families into the library it is just awesome,” Ford said.

West Chicago Avenue Branch Manager Shirley Wallace said the back-to-school drive is a way to bring community members into the library who may have not come otherwise. She added that hosting the library’s open house on the same day of the drive also lets people become familiar with the library’s different programs and resources.

“It’s a good way to bring our community together to let them know that the library is in this community,” Wallace said. “We want to welcome people, we want to give people things, and we want them to come back.”

Austin resident LaTanya Compton said events like the back-to-school drive are ways for children to learn that their communities care about them and also teaches them the benefits of generosity.

“This event is something that is genuine,” Compton said. “It’s something that comes from the heart, and I think a lot of kids going home with brand new bags are going to recognize and learn from that.”

Tucker said she will continue to organize the drive in future years and is proud to be able to make community contributions in Lewis’ name, even though he was never one for the spotlight.

“If he was alive today he would have appreciated me giving back to the community, the back to school efforts and giving away the book bags,” Tucker said. “But to put him out there like that, he just wouldn’t have allowed it.”
