Troubled Chicago Ave. store closed down Austin Pantry in Oak Park, which shut down in September after heroin bust, to remain closed By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter
An Oak Park appeals board has upheld a decision by Village Manager Cara Pavlicek to close a convenience store, located on the corner of Austin Blvd. and Chicago Ave. in Oak Park, in September after police arrested one of its employees on 17 counts of heroin sales and possession. The Oak Park Business License Appeal Board, made up of three Oak Park trustees, heard testimony from Austin Pantry co-owner Azzam “Sam” Mohammad as well as residents and the village staff before voting unanimously to reject the appeal. The village revoked the business license on Sept. 18, following the Aug. 30 police sting of the business, which resulted in the arrest of store employee Edgar Lucas, who was charged with 17 counts of heroin sales and possession. Following the testimony, the appeals board deliberated in a closed-door session and returned with its decision. A findings-of-fact document explaining the reasons for the board’s decision was scheduled to be prepared and made public by Oct. 30. Several residents testified in favor of not renewing the business license, arguing that Lucas was not the only problem at the store. Young men also were selling drugs outside of the store for several months leading up to the arrest and created a dangerous environment for the corner, they said.

Construction to start on new food hub Community leaders and elected officials recently broke ground on the Hatchery in East Garfield Park By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
Rain didn’t stop a large crowd of elected officials, businesspeople and community activists from attending the Oct. 24 groundbreaking of the Hatchery, an East Garfield Park food business incubator
that is expected to open sometime in the fall of 2018. As previously reported by Austin Weekly News, the development is a joint project between Accion Chicago and the Industrial Council of Northwest Chicago. It will be located on a largely vacant lot east of Kedzie/Lake Green Line ‘L’ station, be-
tween Lake Street, Albany Avenue, Randolph Street, Maypole Avenue and Kedzie Avenue. Once completed, the 70,000-square-foot faciliity will be able to house between 75 and100 entrepreneurs. The Hatchery is projected to create around 150 jobs in its first year of operations and around 900 jobs within five years. The Hatchery is an outgrowth of ICNC’s

Austin Weekly News, November 1, 2017
AUSTIN PANTRY A nuisance no more from page 1 the appeals board that police had been called about loitering and drug sales activity at the store more than 50 times in 2017 alone. Neighbors say the problems at the corner shop had been ongoing for years, but over the course of the last year, it became obvious that drug sales were taking place on a daily basis in and around the corner store. James Bowers, a civil rights attorney, owns a storefront building half a block away from the Austin Pantry where he is working to open an antique store. Bowers says he’s been in the neighborhood for 30 years and worked to get drug dealers off the block. His building, located at 5940-5942 W. Chicago, also is home to Gone Again Travel & Tours, a travel agency and non-profit owned by Austin resident Crystal Dyer. Bowers said that over the course of about six months prior to the August police sting, people were always standing around outside Austin Pantry. “For a period of a few months it was really obvious what was going on,” he said. He said he and others have worked hard over the years to clean up the neighborhood and alert police to drug and gang activity, but the Austin Pantry impeded their efforts and put locals’ lives in danger. Harold Blake, owner of Avanti Elegant Boutique, 5949 W. Chicago Ave., said he’s been doing business on the block for 30 years and seen the business district go through “a lot of changes.” Blake said over the last few years Austin Pantry began to attract what appeared to be a criminal element and “a lot of people stopped going in there.”

Crystal Dyer, owner of Gone Again Travel and Tours and lawyer James Bowers. “I haven’t been in there for a couple of years,” he said, adding, “I just didn’t like the atmosphere in there. Sometimes they’d be messing around with the women, you know, patting them on the butt and all that stuff, and I just stopped going in there to tell you the truth.” He noted that the owners of Austin Pantry had collected signatures in a petition to get the store reopened, but Blake said: “I don’t know how [the owner] got the signatures or who he got them from, but he did not from me.” Both Bowers and Dyer said they believe the criminal element Austin Pantry attracted also resulted in armed robberies at nearby businesses prior to the closure of the convenience store. Both Bitoy’s Sweet Treats, 5957 W. Chicago Ave. in Chicago, and Metro PCS, 2 Chicago Ave. in Oak Park, were robbed at gunpoint just a few weeks prior to the police sting of Austin Pantry. “It trickled over here and affected the business over here; it could have affected me too,” Dyer said. “It’s bringing that element onto that corner, and they’re scoping out everything else, and that’s what happened.”
Bowers said he believes that the arrest of Lucas, who police identified as the manager of Austin Pantry, a point disputed by the owners of the establishment, “should be a death sentence” for the business. “What they did is threaten the lives, as well as the businesses, of everybody in their community by allowing that activity in there,” Bowers said. Mohammad, who co-owns the store with Maher “Mike” Haw, said he had employed Lucas for several years but was unaware that he was selling or using drugs. “I trusted him, too,” he said, adding that Lucas was a “good man” who “switched and changed his life.” “I don’t know what happened to him,” Mohammad said. Mohammad, who was infrequently at the store, promised to be there more and install video surveillance and give Oak Park police access. “We’re not bad people; I’m not a bad person,” he said, adding, “I don’t want people to look at me different. The store wasn’t the problem; (Lucas) was the problem.”
Ali ElSaffar, Oak Park Township Assessor, who has owned the building since 1996, promised to make improvements to the retail portion of the property. “I certainly feel bad about what has happened,” ElSaffar said. “There have been complaints in the newspaper saying all of the things that have been going on. That’s something I personally feel bad about and wish hadn’t happened, but I think that’s done. The person who was mostly responsible for it was the person who has been arrested and now is in jail.” Tamell Jackson, an employee of the store, said the store has worked to reduce loitering and threatened to call police when it happened in front of other businesses in the area. He said Mohammad gave him a chance when he hired him to work at the store and urged the board to allow Austin Pantry to reopen. “I hope you give us a second chance to rectify the situation,” he said. The board voted unanimously to uphold the decision to revoke Austin Pantry’s business license. It is uncertain whether Mohammad will attempt to appeal the decision further. Things have been quiet since the village ordered Austin Pantry closed in September, according to one source who sees the corner on a regular basis and agreed to speak under the condition of anonymity over concerns for their safety. The source echoed comments of others, saying Austin Pantry was “a hangout” and it was obvious drug sales were taking place. “I was surprised that Oak Park didn’t make a bigger deal of it being a hangout,” the source said. “I would be shocked if Oak Park reverses its decision because to me it seemed like that was their main goal. They didn’t care who was arrested or anything – they wanted that store shut down because they were sick of it.” CONTACT: tim@oakpark.com
Taliaferro won’t support luxury apartment proposal
The decision came after a committee, residents came out against the proposed North Avenue development By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th) will not be supporting the proposed luxury apartment development at 6600-6700 W. North Avenue. The alderman announced his decision on Oct. 25, after multiple public meetings. Ahead of the alderman’s decision, a number of residents expressed opposition to the project, arguing that it was too dense for Galewood. They also expressed concern about traffic, as well as the fact that renters would be less invested in the community than homeowners. Meanwhile, Taliaferro and Lee Owens, president of the North Avenue Business Association, argued that denser developments
would bring more customers to Galewood businesses, many of which have been struggling to earn profit. The said that, despite those arguments, the 29th Ward North Avenue Business Development Committee voted against the proposed development, which spelled its doom after community members were also vocally against it. While the ultimate sign-off on developments belongs to the Chicago City Council, the body of aldermen typically defers to the wishes of the alderman in whose ward a particular development is being proposed. As reported earlier by Austin Weekly News, the proposal came from Albany Parkbased Noah Properties, which wanted to build luxury apartments on the land that includes a former U.S. Bank branch building, the bank’s parking lot and the parking lot used by the Redeemer Church of Chicago. The complex would comprise 80 two-bedroom units, most of which would be leased for $1,800 a month. Ten percent of the units would be made affordable. Depending on whether tenants must pay utilities, “afford-
able” rents for such apartments can range between $934 and $1,067. The project would require a zoning change and since zoning changes don’t traditionally get approved without the local alderman’s support, the proposal went to Taliaferro. He, in turn, asked the North Avenue Business Development Committee to vet it. Four public meetings were held in September and October. During a meeting on Oct. 10, the issue of Noah Properties’ donation to Taliaferro’s 2015 election came up. An analysis of state election records shows that Noah Prosperities donated $1,000 to Taliaferro. Records also show that the company has also made donations over $1,000 to at least two other Chicago aldermen since 2013. A search of city legislative records maintained by the Office of Chicago City Clerk reveals several instances where the City Council approved zoning changes and exemptions from zoning requirements for properties owned by Noah Properties, some of which were in wards whose aldermen took the company’s donations. Some zoning changes took place in wards
whose aldermen did not take in campaign contributions from Noah Properties, which did not respond to requests for comment regarding the Galewood project and the donations. On Oct. 25, Taliaferro posted a statement that appeared on the ward website, in his ward newsletter and on various social media accounts. In it, he emphasized that he and the committee took the feedback they received into account. “First, let me thank everyone who came out to our community meetings, sent emails, called my office and posted via social media,” he wrote. “Trust me that all comments were considered in the final vote regarding the proposed project. […] Having your voices heard has been my commitment to you. I will continue to ensure that we will not stray from this process.” Between public feedback and the committee vote, the course of action was clear, he said. “After multiple community meetings, the Committee vote, and listening to the residents of Galewood, I will not support the proposed project,” Taliaferro wrote.

THE JOB-SEEKER: Edie Jacobs, inside of her West Side office, has dedicated her retirement to helping others find employment.
Edie Jacobs passes it forward
The Austin resident has helped many people find jobs after helping her own son secure work By LEE EDWARDS Contributing Reporter
Austin resident Edie Jacobs, a retired probation officer, has spent her time and energy over the last two years toward successfully finding new employment opportunities, along with reliable transportation, for Austin residents. The inspiration behind Jacob’s philanthropy was born of frustration over her son’s inability to find local employment after returning home from six years of detainment. She said because he found it so difficult to secure stable employment in Chicago she would travel with him to temp agencies in the nearby suburbs to find something suitable, but still to no avail. Fortunately, after moving out of Chicago, he was able to find a suitable opportunity. Jacobs said she now wants to “look out for our people”. “Jobs weren’t open then like they are now so now there’s no excuse that you have an X on your back,” said Jacobs. “There are jobs that will hire you.” Individuals interested in contacting Jacobs for work reach her by phone or visit her at an office provided by the Westside Health Authority, located at 5422 W. Division, to discuss what opportunities are available. Currently, she has partnerships with Greencore Group’s office in Romeoville and the Handi-Foil Corporation center in Wheeling, where she sends vans full of workers Mon-
day through Friday. Riders headed toward Romeoville meet at the pick-up location at the corner of S. Cicero Ave. & Jackson Blvd at 1 p.m. to ensure riders are able to arrive to work on time for their 2 p.m. shift. Jacobs was able to secure her working partnership because of her ability to capitalize on her networking opportunities. She explained that the working relationship with Handi-Foil was initiated through networking with someone at her church, First Baptist Institutional Church, 4220 W. 18th St., who had previously worked there. The partnership with Greencore Group was formed through a chance meeting with a job coach in Englewood, who she said connected her to the HR department at Greencore Group; and the drivers and vans responsible for taking the workers to and from their destinations was facilitated through the Westside Health Authority’s “Every Block A Village” initiative. Often working by herself, Jacobs said that she does not typically receive any financial support or payment for her efforts. She said a new van would be a big help. Ultimately, she said, she wants to connect more people with more jobs within Chicago. “I feel good to know that I can do this, I can help somebody,” said Jacobs. “I have people call me all day, every day, or come to me all day, but if I could help just one I have helped somebody and I feel good about it.” CONTACT: leeme117@gmail.com

HATCHERY
Coming Fall 2018 from page 1 business incubator, where aspiring entrepreneurs can rent out space and get access to resources that would help them get their vision off the ground. As Mary Fran Riley, Accion’s Senior Vice President of External Affairs, previously explained to this newspaper, the organization felt that it wasn’t well-suited for foodrelated businesses, so they wanted to build something else. Accion Chicago learned from experience that one of the biggest issues facing food-related start-ups is access to kitchens that meet municipal codes. “In order to meet all the code requirements, you need to have a hood over the stove, walls need to be sealed, floors need to be sealed,” Riley explained during an earlier interview. “So it’s often too expensive for entrepreneurs to borrow enough money to build out a kitchen.” Her organization did a feasibility study that determined that a business incubator would remove those obstacles. And since ICNC was already looking for something like this, it made sense for the two organizations to team up and create the Hatchery together. Since then, Garfield Park Community Council joined in as a partner, as did IFF, a Loop-based nonprofit developer and financier, and two corporate partners, the Kellogg Company and Conagra Brands. Once built, the Hatchery will have kitchens for individual tenants and shared kitchens. The individual kitchens will come in different sizes, and tenants will be able to choose whichever size suits their particular needs. It will also include cold and dry storage spaces, offices and meeting areas. The building will become home to GPCC’s farmers market and Accion Chicago offices once it’s finished. In addition to getting space and equipment, entrepreneurs will be able to apply for loans with Accion Chicago. They will also be able to get technical assistance, attend free classes and receive consulting on a range of topics in the food and beverage industry. According to Angela Taylor, GPCC’s Wellness Coordinator, the Hatchery will also have job opportunities for local residents beyond business start-up services. “In each temperamental company formed at the Hatchery, there will job opportunities,” she said. “Warehouse [workers], forklift operators — things of that nature.” To help this along, the Hatchery will offer job readiness programs for local residents. Celebrity chef Rick Bayless will be also use the building to host a culinary training program for low-
income high school and college students. “I believe our city is rich with untapped resources,” he said. “If we can develop a way to cultivate them, both our restaurants and our community will be the better for it.” The project will be covered by $8 million in city funding, as well as grants from several Chicago area foundations. During the groundbreaking, Mayor Rahm Eamanuel touted the Hatchery as a major asset not just for the West Side, but for Chicago as a whole. “The Hatchery will create new jobs, support local entrepreneurs and strengthen Chicago’s position at the forefront of the food industry,” he said. “Even more importantly, this facility will extend the success of Chicago’s thriving food industry directly into our neighborhoods.” Steve DeBretto, ICNC’s executive director, said that making sure the community benefits from the project was paramount to him “We don’t consider it a success if a big por-

tions that provided the funding, said that East Garfield Park has plenty of potential and the Hatchery would go a long way toward helping to realize it. “We feel like it’s going to create more entrepreneurs in Chicago, particularly in communities like this one,” he said. “It’s located in a neighborhood where there’s tremendous opportunity to reimagine a neighborhood around food.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

The ballad of Charlie and Marie
Charlie Joe and Marie Henderson have been selling music on the West Side for decades By BONNI McKEOWN Contributing Reporter
COMMUNITY AN EXCITING DIGITAL PORTAL DEDICATED TO EVERYTHING
Charlie Joe and Marie Henderson have been married 56 years and for 50 of them, they’ve been in business on the West Side. They’ve sold everything from photographs to wigs to sunglasses. But their longest running venture is a store full of old tunes called Out of the Past Records, located at 4407 W. Madison Street. As digital music has taken over, many brick-and-mortar record stores have closed. But amazingly, vinyl LPs have made enough of a comeback in the last five to 10 years that people can craft their own storefront niches catering to those who buy, sell and treasure oldies. The Hendersons specialize in African American music. In their store you’ll find LPs, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes, even 8-tracks of jazz, blues, soul, pop, old and new school R&B and some hip-hop. “Old LP records have become collectors’ items. When CDs came out, they said CDs were indestructible and the sound was clearer,” Charlie said. “But we found out that wasn’t true and people with good ears said the sound of LPs is superior. I don’t know why, but LPs are more personable than CDs. The art on the cover makes me remember every song on a lot of these albums.” Music giants like the late soul singer Otis Clay have brought record collectors from all over the world to Out of the Past. Over a million items are packed into 10 rooms. Customers are now coming from the South Side and suburbs where some other record stores have closed, Marie notes. They don’t mind searching through the racks in the crowded aisles. If you can’t find something, Marie or somebody on the staff can dig it up. While you wait, you can talk to Shadow, the cross-eyed black cat. Last week, Jeff Minn, a frequent customer from the Bridgeport/McKinley Park neighborhood, was buying a print of a painting by African American artist and former football player Ernie Barnes. In the picture, black folks danced furiously in an old-fashioned nightclub, powered by hard-swinging musicians. “This store is true to the namesake,” said Minn. “The history, the camaraderie, is always something that’s new to me.” “Foreigners are much more knowledgeable about American music, especially blues, even though the artists were from around here,” said Charlie Joe. “Motown used to be my favorite music, but now, the older I get, I really love the blues,
like Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters. Some people said the blues was sad — well, it goes back to a sad time. Some of the songs had a fascination with death. Back in slavery, death seemed like the only way we could get free.” Along with the blues, Charlie Joe and Marie came to Chicago from the South during the 20th Century African American Great Migration. Marie’s family is from Jackson, Mississippi and Charlie Joe’s mother is from the resort town of Indian Springs — halfway between Atlanta and Macon, Georgia. Charlie’s mother, Almentha, worked as a domestic in Atlanta and saved up enough money to move to Chicago in 1949. Each year, she brought one of her children to the city. Charlie Joe’s turn came in 1955 — the year Emmett Till was murdered by Mississippi racists for whistling at a white woman. Charlie graduated from Crane and soon found work as a garment cutter. Marie’s parents moved to the West Side the same year, a block away, and Marie graduated in 1959 from Harrison Technical High School and went to work as a mail-order carrier for Montgomery Ward. They were married in 1961. At age four, while still in Georgia, Charlie had lost his father, Artis — killed by a friend in a drunken argument. The trauma brought him a stomach ulcer and bedwetting problems as a teenager. “I wish there’d been counseling then,” he said. “A lot of these young kids now, with all this violence they see, are going to have troubles later in life.” Teenaged Charlie Joe almost got in Emmett Till-type trouble himself. A white woman by the name of Mrs. Pitts ran a bowling alley at an Indian Springs hotel, where Charlie and a buddy were working. The boys took off to go swimming in a creek nearby. Mrs. Pitts vowed to whip them. Charlie blurted, “If you think you gonna whip me, you a fool.” Indeed, he said, Mrs. Pitts was a domineering woman who, being white, also wielded unfair authority over them. But he realized his error in sassing an elder, no matter what race. When Mrs. Pitts’ husband threatened to hit Charlie Joe with a Coke bottle, the youth apologized profusely. Mr. Pitts backed off. When the family got established in Chicago, Charlie Joe’s mother would go to the blues clubs in the black business districts along Roosevelt, Lake St. and Madison, to see great blues entertainers like Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Elmore James. Charlie bought a Polaroid camera in 1964, and began earning money taking pictures of people in

the blues clubs. He joined Marvin Cole to set up a photo studio at 8 S. Pulaski, where he and Marie also sold wigs and other items. The wigs came from wholesalers in Korea, and his part of the business faded as Koreans immigrated to the U.S. and started selling the wigs themselves. Charlie Joe and Marie tried making and selling hippie wishbone earrings made from chicken and ham bones — until the guard dog ate all their craft work. Two days after Martin Luther King Jr. was killed on April 4, 1968, a riot destroyed many stores along Madison Ave. Charlie Joe remembers buildings in flames and cars blowing up. Owners of one of the remaining stores, Howard’s Clothing at 3948 W. Madison, wanted to get out. In 1972 Charlie Joe and Marie bought the building for $40,000. It still houses their variety store, Henderson Studio, and the shop of tailor Luis Perez. As the neighborhood got rougher, Charlie and Marie only dug in deeper. “When one business slacks off, you just find something else that’s moving,” he said. In 1969, a customer suggested they sell records. So they got a turntable and speaker, blasted the hit song “Color Him Father” to the whole street and sold out of the records in one day. When 8-track tapes hit big, they sold over 1,800 in one weekend. The Pulaski Road photo studio/record store later burned down, as did his next record store at 4052 W. Madison in 1977. These were “insurance fires,” he said.
Building owners collected insurance, but all his merchandise, under-insured, was destroyed. “Firemen said the building had a truss roof and it was too dangerous to go back in,” he said. “I was so upset, I just went home and covered up my head.” But the Hendersons didn’t give up. Their third business location — Maxwell Street — brought in $3,000 each weekend to help them get back up and running. At Charlie Joe’s table, he moves many items quickly for $1. For 31 years, he rented tables to temporary vendors. He closed the rental business this month since the open air market, forced away by city government from its traditional stronghold at Maxwell and Halsted Street, was drawing fewer vendors. The Hendersons bought the present Out of the Past Records store building at 4407 W. Madison in 1986. They are open Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. With their businesses, the Hendersons have brought up three sons and two daughters, four of whom are still in Chicago. None of the children or grandchildren are interested in taking over the record store, so Charlie Joe and Marie plan on selling it, records and all, when they retire. But they say that won’t be anytime soon. Charlie would like to see the beloved old music become a path for the West Side and its African American culture and business base to revive. “I’d like to see more blues clubs come back on the West Side,” he said.

The joy of home improvement projects
ow! November is here and like many of you, I wonder where the year has gone. I’m in the process of finishing up several home improvement projects. I’m also excited about a friend’s decision to add a master bedroom to her home. She left Austin almost a decade ago to seek the calm and quiet of the south suburbs. I hated when she made the decision, but she had to do what is best for her as she, like me, comes to the final third of life. Stairs were giving her the flux so she gave up her bungalow for a ranch-style home, which is all on one level. Her backyard is literally one half of my block! She has a plethora of room to expand, so I can understand her desire to have a big bedroom. As we walked her property and plotted out the logistics of what she would have in her new abode, I knew I was in the element I enjoy the most. Home repair and home improvement are the constant consumers of my free time. Over the years, I have expanded my repertoire — from simply painting a room to installing updated electrical switches and even finishing carpentry. I have found myself becoming the “go to” person when women friends had questions about what they should do on remodeling or changing their home. Seventeen years ago, I took the plunge and had a contractor add a second-story addition. That change gave me the room I needed, and I have never regretted the decision. Are there other women like me out in Austin who love working on their house? Homeownership is a constant list of what needs to get done, what one would like to
see happen, and my favorite of all: the “I wish list.” Oftentimes women seek out advice from men who sometimes don’t get what they are questioning. Or the woman is hesitant to ask for help because there is an underlying fear of asking a “dumb question.” Truthfully, when it comes to our homes, there is no question that shouldn’t be asked. Understanding the basic mechanisms of the home’s major systems like heating/AC/hot water heating/electrical, etc. is highly recommended. Then there are the tools that should be in every homeowner’s tool box. A power drill is mandatory. From screwing something together to making a pilot hole to driving a nail into something, its potential uses are endless. Next are screwdrivers — both Phillips head and flathead. A saw, manual or power, is a definite necessity. A pipe wrench is a must because it goes hand-in-hand with plumbing pipes. A hammer, of course, and lastly, a toolbox to store all the tools in. I do utilize the big-box stores like Home Depot and Menard’s. But there are other places that offer building materials at bargain prices. I haven’t been to the new HOBO that recently opened in Forest Park on Roosevelt just west of Harlem. But if it’s anything like the other ones, it is a place to go just to check up on what is available. My other favorite places to get the good stuff are demolition auction sites online. Murco.Net is one and BeforeUdemo.com is another. And for those of us with custombuilt homes (aka bungalows), the Habitat for Humanity resale store at Pulaski and Peterson is a must!
