15th District commander promoted Lt. Ernest Cato has replaced Commander Dwayne Betts, who was recently promoted to deputy chief By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Dwayne Betts, who has been police commander at Austin’s 15th District for almost three years, has been promoted to deputy chief of the department’s Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) program. A Chicago Police Department spokesperson said that Lt. Ernest Cato, of the 15th District, will replace Betts in the position. The spokesperson did not confirm whether Cato will serve on an interim or more permanent basis. Mayor Rahm Emanuel made the announcement during his Oct. 18 budget address. He cited Betts’ work in the 15th District, particularly his work with the community, as reasons for the promotion. But during the Oct. 19 Chicago Police Review Board meeting, some local community leaders argued that the commander didn’t deserve the promotion, complaining that police department hasn’t been responsive to their concerns. The CAPS program was started in 1993 as a way to improve the communication and cooperation between police officers and the communities they serve. At the beat meetings, officers and residents can talk about local crime issues and figure out ways to address them. CAPS officers also attend community events and, in certain cases, community meetings organized by aldermen, to help further these goals. But, as the Chicago Reader reported in a Sept. 12, 2016 feature, funding for CAPS has been declining, See BETTS on page 4

Why the CPS enrollment decline?

Austin’s CPS enrollment has declined by nearly 800 By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks

Dozens of parents, principals and community members gathered last week at the Westside Health Authority to discuss ways to slow or halt shrinking enroll-

ments at the majority of Austin’s public schools. “We have 7,000 high school-age youths, but only 840 currently attend high schools in Austin,” Quiwana Bell, COO of Westside Health Authority, said after the Oct. 10th meeting. “Enrollment in nearly every Austin school is going down, and its forecast (to go) down even further,” Bell said. Last week’s meeting was intended to give parents a chance to discuss the issue

and ways to improve education in Austin. Fifteen Austin schools lost a total of 780 students compared to last year, according to 10th-day enrollment data released by Chicago Public Schools. Just two schools did not see their enrollment drop — Michele Clark High School, whose student body remained unchanged, and Lewis Elementary, which has 9 more students than in 2016.

Tandra M. Rutledge speaks out about mental health Tandra M. Rutledge, the director of business development at Riveredge Hospital in suburban Forest Park, spoke recently to a small crowd during community held at the hospital on Oct. 18. Below is an excerpt of her insightful talk: I’m originally from Ohio. I’ve been in Illinois for a little over a year and I came here for this job. The reason I came here is because of my passion for mental health. There is a stigma in our communities of color and I want to be part of the change to reduce that stigma. If people see someone like me, a person of color who is a therapist and who can talk the talk and walk the walk, and understand what it means to be in a community of color, then maybe I can compel some other people to come out of the shadows and seek help when help is needed — whether it is the loss of a husband or something like chronic depression. For too many years, we as communities of color have been silent. We have to have conversations, particularly around suicide. I’m a certified suicide trainer. The hospital offers training and presentations at no charge. By going out in the community and having those conversations is how we break

down that stigma and shame. That’s why I uprooted my family from everything that was comfortable and familiar to us to come work at this facility.

Douglas Park exhibit turns students into artists

By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing reporter

Douglas Park fieldhouse’s main hall was abuzz with activity on Oct. 19 as the second annual Art for All Ages exhibit got underway. The event showcased the artwork made by children and adults with intellectual disabilities. For the past five years, residents who took part in the park’s special recreation program have been able to take art classes. According to the park district staff, the art exhibit gives them a chance to feel like artists and share their work with their families and the community. Douglas Park Cultural and Recreation Center currently offers two art classes: a Trash to Treasure class for kids ages six and up, and a printmaking workshop for youth ages 13-20. Victor Velez, who teaches art classes at the center and at Austin Town Hall fieldhouse, said that he was open to doing more art classes, but that there isn’t a lot of demand. “I offer classes for all ages in the evening, but I don’t get many students,” he said, adding that he blamed it on the violence in the neighborhood and the fact that the fieldhouse is located in the middle of the north half of the park, away from the major streets that surround it. The Chicago Park District’s Special Recreation program runs programs and activities for kids and adults with various physical and mental disabilities. In Douglas Park in particular, the program focuses on serving individu-

Volanda Smith, who heads the park’s special recreation programs, said that around five years ago, she saw some art from Velez’s class in the fieldhouse hallway. This gave her an idea. “I asked [Velez] if it was something we’d be able to implement with Special Recreation,” she said. “And he was open to all of it.” The response from the program participants has been overwhelmingly positive, Smith said.

“They love going to art classes,” Smith said. “We do a lot of sports, so I feel they like to change it up.” The fact that they get to do different types of art helps, too. “Sometimes, they work with paint, sometimes they make a sculpture, sometimes, they work with crayons,” Smith said. “So I think they’re enjoying experiencing different types of art.” Velez first did an exhibition of the participants’ work last October.

In winter 2015, the fallout from the release of the videotaped shooting of Laquan McDonald by a police officer pushed community-police relations into the forefront. CAPS received $19,724 more in funding than a year before. The budget for salaries went up from $3,767,896 to $3,787,620. While the overall number of positions remained the same, the 2017 budget proposal listed two more CAPS community

went well, Velez said, and it became an annual event. He said that he’s been impressed with the quality of participants’ work. “The season starts in September, so only have a month to work with them, so I’m always nervous, but I’m always pleased with the results,” Velez said. Smith said that taking part in the exhibit has been great for the participants. “When they come here, they’re not just Special Recreation participants,” she said. “They become artists. I think it makes them feel important and special.” This year, the participants did four different paintings of the world outside their window, of a tea kettle, of changing seasons and of a guitar. They were given broad leeway to interpret each assignment. Participant Shawn Winston wound up painting his guitar with the colors of the rainbow, a piece that he said he was particularly proud of. Winston said that the class was “fun” and that it felt “pretty good” to see his work displayed. According to the Chicago Park District website, the fall arts and crafts special recreation class is currently full. As of this writing, the schedule for winter and spring art classes hasn’t been finalized.

Clearing up some CPS-related misconceptions

hese past 10 days concerning education in Austin have centered on misleading statements. I’m not sure if it is ineptness or intentional misinterpretation of facts in an effort of organize around the construction of a new high school for Austin while entertaining the conversation (without principals and LSC members) about closing four elementary schools. Let me start with the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) 2017 capital budget. Fact: CPS 2017 proposed capital budget is $938 million. Fiction: the State of Illinois did not allocate $938 million of capital dollars to CPS. Per DNAInfo.com, the new school funding formula provided CPS with a net additional $450 million. The breakdown is: ■ $221 million for employee pension ■ $76 million in additional funding for CPS because of the large percentage of lowincome students ■ $18.5 million for early childhood education ■ $13 million for bilingual education, and allowing the Chicago Board of Education to increase property taxes by $125 million (can

CPS closed four Austin schools The capital budget is primarily in 2013 because of underfinanced by CPS and — drum utilization, but is willing to roll, please — the Chicago City spend $24 million to promote a Council. The City Council voted modern version of “separate in 2015 to approve a property tax but equal” rather than enforce increase for CPS capital needs the established boundaries and to a tune of $475 million.

existing high schools to demonstrate to Austin families that their children can receive an equitable and well-resourced education at our existing high schools. Another fact is that some (not all) of our local elected officials can’t have it both ways in supporting the expansion of charter schools in Austin and still claim they’re strong proponents of neighborhood schools. They passively sat idle while a high-performing school like Emmet was closed, yet actively supported the opening of Moving Everest Charter School by an inexperienced operator who is not indigenous to Austin. Austin Coming Together has developed the open space for us to organically organize within and develop a comprehensive quality of life plan. I believe it’s a timely opportunity to craft the plan and hold all of us accountable for the execution of the plan. When completed, I believe that the plan can speak for us all and not certain elected officials and organizations popping up and claiming to speak for all of Austin.

How schweet the sound at Austin’s Boombox popup

Schweet Foods, which sells baked goods, has setup shop inside of Austin’s Boombox popup store By BONNI McKEOWN Contributing Reporter

By 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21, Brian and Chemille Weddington had sold out of all their cheesecake and only a few cupcakes remained to be gobbled up by late shoppers during Schweet Foods’ opening weekend of a month-long stay in a popup Boombox store at 5846 W. Chicago Ave. in Austin. Neighbors, relatives, friends, and fellow worshippers from Mt. Sinai Baptist Church piled in to support the new store. Raved church-mate Reggie Mitchell, “This cheesecake is of great texture and taste — with a nice atmosphere, family love and great customer service!” The Leaders Network, a faith-based group working to improve the quality of West Side life, cited Schweet Foods as “Business of the Month” for October. Schweet Foods’ website advertises the cheesecake and cupcakes: “Fresh fruit, freshly made whipped cream, a wholesome crust and our signature batter is what’s inside. We don’t sell super-fancy pastries that

sit on the shelf for a long time, or freeze it up and ship it to you on a plane. We’re known for made-to-order cheesecakes that are simple and tasty.” Customers from all ethnic groups have enjoyed the cheesecakes, including event planners looking for a special dessert. The Weddingtons first conceived the cheesecake over 10 years ago, when Brian was looking through his grandmothers’ recipes. Over the years, the Chemilles perfected their own recipe. As a black-owned business, Brian said, “We stand on the shoulders of all the entrepreneurs before us.” From teaching an entrepreneurship class at Columbia College, Chemille knew Schweet had to spread the word and popularize the product before they could draw people to a storefront. “You’ve got to know scale, or you will fail,” she said. So the couple sold cheesecake by word of mouth, catering for events and going to where foodies hang out — places like the Randolph Market. This year Columbia adjunct professor Gina Valentine held a social media marketing campaign for Schweet as a class project. She was pleased on Saturday with the results. “Brian and I are college educators and Austinites, and we believe education should be affordable,” Chemille said. To give back to the community, Schweet Foods has set up a scholarship of up to $300 per semester to pay for the books and course fees of students who attend the City Colleges of Chicago.

IT POPS!: Brian and Chemille Weddington serve up a flavorful cheesecake on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017 inside of a popup Boombox store in Austin.

Students should apply at schweetfoods.com. The Boombox storefront, like an art gallery, will change often, featuring new stores or exhibits. Until Nov. 26, Schweet will be open on Chicago Ave. from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. each Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, with longer hours each Saturday and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Brian, a poet and actor, plans some community discussions called “Conversation and Cheesecake” during their weekends at the storefront. The Boombox, according to boomboxchicago.com is “a prefabricated, climate controlled, pop-up storefront constructed from

an up-cycled shipping container, available to rent for short term, retail, cultural, community, and marketing.” Boombox has set up storefronts in Wicker Park and in the historic Englewood commercial corridor, steps from the new Englewood Square development complex anchored by Whole Foods and Starbucks. The Wicker Park Boombox will host Schweet Foods for a period next spring. Next at the Chicago Ave. Boombox: Chicago Black Woman’s Business Week, Nov. 27 to Dec. 4; and Lady Lord Bath Essence Dec. 5 to Dec. 26. CONTACT: bonni@barrelhousebonni.com

Austin resident portrays Malcolm X in historical play

Di Reed played the role in “Six Stories Up in Haunted Chicago” By ALEX CORNWELL AustinTalks

Austin resident Di Reed portrays the ghost of Malcolm X in “Six Stories Up in Haunted Chicago,” which tells the story of middle school students who encounter famous deceased Chicagoans on a field trip. The production, which includes both disabled and nondisabled actors, finished its run on Oct. 22 at the Filament Theatre, 4041 N. Milwaukee Ave. in the Old Irving Park neighborhood. Reed, who prefers the pronoun they, has macular degeneration, a condition marked by vision loss can lead to complete blindness. Reed is an ESL teacher who has taught at local community colleges and in Vietnam for eight years. In their spare Reed volunteers at the Garfield Park Conservatory but had not participated in theater until this year. For “Six Stories Up,” Reed was paired with student actor Miles Wilson, and the two chose to focus on Malcolm X because they felt he was often overlooked compared to Martin Luther King Jr. Other historical figures with Chicago ties – gangster Al Capone, comedian John Belushi and playwright Lorraine Hansberry – round out the remaining five stories as the stu-

Each story was co-written by the six students under the guidance of their mentor and incorporates personal expe-

riences that often shed light on the lives of those with disabilities. “A lot of times we look at someone who can’t see and we assume something, but when you get acquainted with them you see that they’re real,” Reed said. Tellin’ Tales Theatre, the group behind the Six Stories Up series, celebrated 21 years in May. Its founder said the performances are aimed at “shattering the barriers between the disabled and non-disabled worlds through the transformative power of personal story.” Tekki Lomnicki, who also directs and stars in this month’s show, said the inspiration for the company’s flagship series came from her experiences teaching theater to middle schoolers in the 1990s. Now she gets emails throughout the year referring students, and she lets anyone who’s interested participate. “I feel that it’s not about talent; anyone can be taught to act. It’s about wanting to learn,” she said. Reed hadn’t considered acting until participating in a Tellin’ Tales workshop held at the church, St. Martin’s Episcopal Church, they attend in Austin. “I guess they were impressed with what they saw, and they asked me to continue,” Reed said. After that initial exposure, Reed went on to perform a solo piece about their experiences in Vietnam as part of the group’s show “Divercity” that ran in June. “This has been like a dream. It’s been a dream to get into acting,” Reed said. CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

Kenneka’s death photos raise more speculation

cannot claim to have been one of the people fixated on the Kenneka Jenkins death investigation. Her tragic demise in a freezer at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Rosemont was grisly. Like others, however, I connected to the tragedy even though I didn’t know the young lady. The facts and details as they have filtered out never struck me as being totally forthcoming and truthful. The “missing pieces” have all pointed to an attempt to lay blame and cause without indicting anyone as the villain, with the exception of the hotel. What about the couple who rented the hotel room with the stolen credit card? I’ve seen the video but the names haven’t been blasted about for me to know who they are. Or the woman, Irene, in the dark glasses at the hotel, whose riveting “live” broadcast has faded from the spotlight. The males who were at the party who were fraternizing with those underage girls (especially in terms of alcohol). The “friends” of Kenneka who had her purse, cellphone and the keys to her car, but not her! Years back, I worked as a waitress. We had a huge walk-in freezer, and to this day I can still recall the manager saying that we could never be locked in it because it also opened from the inside. That vivid memory was one of the first comments I made when the news of Kenneka’s death was reported. I imagined the freezer to be a huge edifice that, once inside and in the dark, was so big she might have not been able to find her way back to the door.

So I was surprised when the death scene photos came out and the freezer was such a small room. Even drunk and on drugs and stumbling about, there seems to be no valid reason for her to have remained in the freezer without finding her way back out. I am curious if the door to the freezer slams closed easily and how difficult would it have been for Kenneka to simply turn around and grope for the door? Why do her clothes look more like someone else pulled at them? Why is just one breast exposed if the so-called phenomena of “paradoxical undressing” was in play? And the dirty hexagon pattern on her gym shoes — where, how and why did it get so high on the side of both her shoes? Young people don’t let their gym shoes get marks on them. I am not surprised, nor am I happy, that Kenneka’s death investigation has been declared “over.” Death is never good for business (unless it’s the funeral industry) and this death generated a plethora of negative publicity. The hotel had to be losing revenue due to the ongoing investigation. That economic loss is apparently the reason so-called community activist Andrew Holmes made the remarks he did to try and defuse the momentum of people marching and demanding answers. Yet in many ways the newest photographic images have renewed interest in the case as people analyzed each and every bit of data that has been made public. So to all the amateur crime sleuths, keep up the good work!
