Gar eld Park Conservator y fundraising for Children’s Garden renovation

Any donations made before March 1 will contribute to a $250,000 pool that an anonymous donor will match

By MAIA PANDEY Block Club Chicago

The Garfield Park Conservatory is fundraising for its Children’s Garden renovation — and people who donate now will see their money matched

Any donations received before March 1 will contribute to a $250,000 pool that an anonymous donor has offered to match, according to an Instagram post from the conservatory. With 153 days to go in the campaign, the drive has raised about $42,000 of the match goal. Donations are open online

The renovated Children’s Garden is expected to open in 2023. The work will

tackle the 6,000-foot indoor Elizabeth Morse Genius Children’s Garden, outfitting it with a new slide and custom-designed climber, toddler areas, a nature art gallery and family bathroom, among other amenities, according to the conservatory.

Open year-round and free to all, the new garden will also feature a wheelchairaccessible ramp

The project comes 20 years after the garden’s initial opening. The park has already raised $4.1 million toward the project’s total cost of $5.6 million, according to its website.

Austin resident, county commissioner running for mayor

Brandon Johnson, a teacher and CTU organizer, is rst West Sider to enter the crowded race for mayor

By DAWN RHODES & COLIN BOYLE Austin Weekly News

Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson, long floated as a potential mayoral candidate, has launched his bid for City Hall.

Johnson, a middle school teacher and Chicago Teachers Union organizer, announced his candidacy for mayor at a kickoff event Thursday mor ning at Seward Park, 375 W. Elm St

More than 100 supporters representing unions, political groups and neighborhoods joined Johnson on Thursday near the for mer Cabrini-Green homes, including Alds. Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th) and Carlos Ramirez-Rosa (35th) and state Rep. Delia Ramirez, who is running for a Congressional seat in November’s election.

“I continue to be humbled, and honored, by the outpouring of support I have received in coming to this decision,” Johnson said in a statement. “Throughout my conversations with people from all areas of the city, it has become increasingly clear to me that Chicagoans are ready for change, and most important, ready to see their own vision and priorities reflected on the 5th floor of City Hall.”

Johnson represents the 1st District on the Cook County Board of Commissioners. His area includes parts of the Near West Side, Garfield Park, Austin, Galewood and Monteclare, as well as parts of suburban Oak Park, Forest Park, Maywood, Broadview and Bellwood

Johnson was elected to his county board seat in 2018 and was seeking reelection in the Nov. 8 general election against Libertarian James Humay.

Should Johnson win his county board bid, he will continue in that role, campaign spokesperson Ronnie Reese said. If he is elected mayor, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle would appoint

a replacement and there would a special election for the 1st District seat.

“Chicago has to live up to this amazing promise and this idea of being a worldclass city But in order for Chicago to be a world class city, it has to include all of our young people in its beauty, its wealth and its power,” Johnson said Thursday “We are going to bring a revival to this city.”

Johnson, 46, lives in Austin. One of 10 children of a pastor, he has taught social studies at Jenner Academy serving students in Cabrini-Green and Westinghouse College Prep in East Garfield Park, according to a news release

Johnson was an active CTU organizer under for mer union President Karen Lewis. He was elected to the county board on a platform of expanding public services and safeguarding workers’ rights, according to his campaign

Johnson’s experience as an educator will greatly influence his work on the 5th floor if he is elected, he said.

“As a teacher, I experienced the painful impact of disinvestment on my students and their families, and this personal experience — seeing children endure inequity — is what fuels my commitment to building a

stronger, safer and more equitable Chicago,” Johnson said in a statement.

Some of Johnson’s supporters invoked the names and work of the late Mayor Harold Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. while speaking on Johnson’s mayoral campaign.

“I am so inspired today to join Brandon Johnson’s campaign and to continue the struggle to unify the dispossessed of all colors, creeds and circumstances to create a new and unsettling force which Dr King envisioned, and for which he gave his life,” Southeast Side organizer Olga Bautista said.

Tara Stamps of the Chicago Teachers Union recalled Johnson’s sacrifice and dedication in shaping Jenner Elementary students

“It was at that time that he opened the minds of our young people and showed them what was possible,” Stamps said. “It was at that time that he took a little ragtag team of boys who just said, ‘I just want to play ball,’ and gave up all of his after school so that they could have a team.

“I’m so happy to say that right now, today, those young people are thriving, because

COVID-related mortgage assistance program reopens Nov. 1

Qualifying homeowners can receive up to $30,000 in assistance

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois

SPRINGFIELD – The state reopened a mortgage assistance program for pandemicimpacted homeowners on Nov. 1.

The Illinois Homeowner Assistance Fund, run through the Illinois Housing Development Authority, provides up to $30,000 in assistance to homeowners through payments made directly to mortgage servicers, taxing bodies or other approved entities.

The program is funded through an appropriation from the federal American Rescue Plan Act and can be used for pastdue mortgage payments and up to three months of future payments. The funding can also be used for delinquent property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, condominium or

teachers are the front line of defense for our country.”

Johnson also has supported efforts to scale back funding for policing.

In the height of 2020 protests after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, Johnson introduced the Justice for Black Lives resolution to the county board in support of demands to defund Cook County Jail. The board overwhelmingly approved the nonbinding resolution, committing to direct its multibillion-dollar budget more toward initiatives such as health care, restorative justice and job creation to reduce crime.

Johnson said the effort was “not about laying people off, consolidations or closures,”

homeowner association fees, and mobile home lot rent.

Funds received do not need to be repaid.

More information is available at illinoishousinghelp.org/ilhaf, and the application portal will be open from Nov. 1 through the end of January 2023.

“The state of Illinois is committed to ensuring that homeowners who are struggling due to this terrible pandemic can stay in their home,” IHDA Executive Director Kristin Faust said in a news release. “We designed the ILHAF program to ensure the most vulnerable households are prioritized in order to stave off foreclosure to ensure they are given the opportunity to become current on their monthly housing expenses.”

To qualify, Illinois homeowners must:

■ Have experienced a financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic after Jan. 21, 2020, or a hardship that began before that date and continued afterward.

■ Currently own and occupy the home in the state as their primary residence.

■ Be at least 30 days late on their monthly housing payment.

but rather “calling for an expansion of gover nment services” in other sectors. The board had a “responsibility in this moment to address the failures of systems,” he said.

“We are tired of being policed and sur veilled, and that the only way our people can receive treatment is if we’re brought into captivity,” Johnson said at the time. “That is a failed system, and I will reject that system until the day that I die.”

Johnson also brought up how Chicago’s public safety issues are portrayed in recent political ads, saying it’s important to ad dress the root of violent crime to reduce it.

“Is there violence? Yes. Is carjacking wrong? Yes, of course it is. But let me tell you what else is wrong: when you have 700 families who live in Parkway Gardens, but the community center can only hold 100. That’s wrong,” Johnson said. “In order to make Chicago not only a safe, but a just city, we need to be a healthy thriving city for ev

Individuals who participated in a previous round of mortgage assistance may apply again in the upcoming round, but the maximum amount a person can receive is $30,000 cumulatively.

As of Sept. 22, the state had approved $20.5 million in assistance through the

eryone.”

Johnson also is among a growing list of elected officials who have pushed the Cook County Board to approve his resolution to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day. The resolution stalled in committee in 2021.

Johnson is married with three children.

Johnson joins a field of mayoral challeng ers that includes three sitting City Council members.

Alds. Raymond Lopez (15th), Roderick Sawyer (6th) and Sophia King (4th) all are vying to unseat Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is seeking reelection.

The group of candidates also include former Chicago schools CEO Paul Vallas, state Rep. Kam Buckner and businessman Willie Wilson.

IHDA and its housing partners will hold information sessions on the program, and a schedule is posted online at illinoishousinghelp.org. Information can also be obtained by contacting the ILHAF hotline at 1-866-454-3571.

Divvy, Working Bikes team up to train mechanics

By MACK LIEDERMAN Block Club Chicago

Divvy and nonprofit Working Bikes are joining forces to teach Chicagoans how to be bike mechanics

Eight future mechanics have star ted a five-week course at Working Bikes, 2434 S. Wester n Ave., to lear n basic bike re pair skills, Executive Director Trevor Clarke said. Working Bikes re pair manager Xail Her nandez leads the classes, teaching in English and Spanish, Clarke said.

Attendees g et a $150 stipend for 10 hours of instruction each week, said Johntuanay Johnson, community af fairs manager at Lyft, which operates Divvy

T he progr am, which has groups complete the instruction, g eared toward people facing bar employment. Org anizers hope bike access on the South and W which are more likely to have “ deser ts,” Clarke said.

“Since the pandemic, cycling has been more widely reco gnized, and there’s been long wait times to g et bikes fixed. Every shop has been slammed,” Clarke said. “And not all communities have access to shops, or they might just have infor mal mechanics We need more bike mechanics to do this work.”

Graduates can interview at Divvy, which has hundreds of open positions

for field mechanics across its 12,000-bike network in Chicago, Johnson said. Others can get connected to jobs at local bike shops, Clarke said.

New cohorts will start in January and February. People are encouraged to fill out this form in advance to get on the program’s radar and speak with organizers, Clarke said.

“It’s not a master ’s de gree in mechanics, but it will get people familiar working in a bike shop,” Clarke said. “Even if they don’t, it’s a win just imparting these skills and putting them out in the community.”

The current cohort includes a migrant from Vene zuela, among the more than 3,000

shipped to Chicago by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Clarke said. He hopes the program will give people stable job options and a passion for bikes, which are “a powerful tool to help others,” Clarke said.

“Last time we had a ceremony, where graduates got their diplomas and tools,” Clarke said. “People brought their families.”

Fish with a First Responder on Oct. 15 at Columbus Park helped forge bonds between young people, re ghters and police, o cials said

By AUSTIN TALKS Publication partner

Forty Austin community members braved winter-like weather on Oct. attend the Union Sportsmen’s A (USA) second annual Chicago-area with a First Responder” event at Columbus Park.

Members of Chicago Firefighters Chicago Police Sergeants Association, 15th District CAPS Unit, Community Team and Chicago K-9 Unit volunteered to teach neighborhood kids how and provid a lunch of grilled hot do hamburgers.

Though the 40-degree temperature have kept some people away from the community event, organizers Doug and Sherry Long of New Concept Group were pleased so many West residents and members of the police departments came together.

“Our company does financial p for first responders. We understand most cases, people in the community see them during stressful times — perhap the worst day of their lives,” Aller in a statement. “This fishing event opportunity to bring community members and first responders together in a fun, positive environment where they can get to know each other on a personal level.”

“Community events like this help to break down barriers,” added Jim Calvino, president of the Chicago Police Sergeants Association. “It shows the neighborhood that police aren’t there only in bad situations, and it allows kids and officers to talk with each other as regular people — just as human beings.”

Each child received a free rod-and-reel combo courtesy of the USA, and with help from the volunteers, they tried their hand at fishing in Columbus Park’s lagoon, which Fire Fighters Local 2 had stocked with several hundred bluegills ahead of time “For many of the children, it was their

first exposure to fishing,” said Pat Quane, Local 2 director of public relations. “All the kids had a lot of fun, and hopefully, the experience will make a difference in their lives and spark an interest in the outdoors, so maybe they grab their new fishing pole instead of watching television or just hanging out.”

Firefighter Tim Fitzgerald, assigned to Engine 50 Firehouse in South Chicago, also took the opportunity to involve his 13-year old son, Timothy, as a volunteer

“Timmy started fishing at a very young age and has a lot of experience for a

teenager,” Fitzgerald said. “He helped rig rods-and-reels and taught kids to cast, bait hooks and untangle lines. I think seeing that there are a lot of kids his own age out there who’ve never even had a chance to go fishing before was a real revelation for him.”

Fish with a First Responder is just one in a series of community outreach events and conservation projects held through the USA’s Work Boots on the Ground conservation program.

Through the program, union members volunteer their time and skills to build key outdoor infrastructure, such as fishing

docks, boat ramps, hiking trails and target shooting facilities, in public outdoor recreation areas, and they also introduce people to the outdoors through outreach events like the one held at Columbus Park

“The USA’s mission is to unite the union community through conservation to preserve North America’s outdoor heritage,” said USA Conservation Coordinator Cody Campbell, “and that includes helping people lear n how to pursue outdoor activities, so they can enjoy them for the rest of their lives.”

IDC, Snitch Harry!

Ever since the Oprah interview, I’ve been inclined to follow the ongoing saga of Snitch Har ry and the Duchess of Suck It. While Oprah reacted with astonishment that somebody would ask how dark the soon-to-be firstborn would be, I was insulted. Black folks have always questioned what biracial children might possibly look like. My immediate response back to Meghan would have been, “What’s wrong with dark?” and posed the question, “Was the same asked about you when your mother was pregnant?” As her father Thomas Markle later said, race was never an issue for Me ghan as she was growing up. And although her natural hair is very curly, it is obvious she relaxes it so that her appearance is more toward the white side of the family than the Black side.

him from the realities that most of us know about: the protocol of funerals! And if one really wants to talk about the hor rors of having to honor their parent in a casket, I think back to the day in 1963 when then 3-year-old John F. Kennedy Jr. had to salute his father’s casket. So sorry, Snitch, your lament is nothing new.

Anyway, back to the recently announced book coming out in January of 2023 from Snitch Har ry. It’s titled Spare. I’ve renamed it, and him, “Snitch” because, for a man who was born into the Royal family who never once suf fered a day of hunger and never had to overcome any adversity, to now fill a 400-plus-page book with laments will never gar ner my interest to buy it. T he publishers are only dropping slight tidbits of what is going to be in the book, but based on past interviews with the Snitch, he expresses the pain he went through having to follow his mother’s coffin. Well guess what, Snitch Har ry? Most folks tend to ride in a car following the hearse with the coffin. It is obvious that his privile ged upbringing had sheltered

As for my renaming of Megan, a recent video clip of her first role after leaving the game show Deal or No Deal was found. After having declared that she felt like a bimbo as the suitcase girl, one would think she would be qualifying all of her roles in future endeavors in Hollywood based on that history. So what role did she take? She appeared as a bit player on the TV show 90210, whose head slowly rises above the dashboard as if she had been performing a sex act on the male driver. If the suitcase girl felt like a bimbo then, I’m sure she felt like a “ho” in that role.

She had an opportunity to become a world icon for good; instead she’s become an icon for just how foolish a woman can be. She rarely refers to her husband by name in interviews, as if the world is that interested in her. She only came to fame because of who she married and not what she’s done. She is caught in lie after lie, and her using racism as her catch-all shield along with playing the victim is not going to work. We see the two of them for who they are: privileged individuals who will do anything to gar ner attention for money.

May the entire world turn their backs on them!

25th Police District holds Halloween Trunk-or-Treat event

Event features candy, House music DJ, elected o cials

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

Hundreds of families came to the 15th Chicago Police District station parking lot, 5555 W. Grand Ave., on Oct. 28 to get some candy, dance to House music and look at old-school cars.

The event was organized by the Chicago Neighborhood Policing Initiative, a collaboration between the New York University School of Law’s Po licing Project and the Chicago Police Department that takes a communitycentric approach to improving community and police relations. While the initiative currently works in several police districts throughout Chicago, it launched in the 25th District, which in-

cludes Galewood and other parts of Austin north of Division Street.

Kids walked around the parking lot, getting candy from booths set up by area elected officials and community organizations, as well as from the trunks of vintage cars, many of which were provided by the members of the Just Cruising Oldies car club and VM.VOCHO Club Chicago.

DJ Ronin and Chicago Housing music icon Julian “Jumpin” Pere z played the music at the makeshift dance area in front of the station entrance.

District Coordinating Officer Anna Glutova, who is one of the officers re sponsible for coordinating responses to the emergencies with other city agencies and connecting residents to any services they might need, said she was pleased with how the events turned out.

“You got kids, you got cars, you got candy, you got music – what more could you want?” she said.

Suppor ters are tr ying to raise $25,000 for Akeem Briscoe’s family

By MINA BLOOM Block Club Chicago

Neighbors are rallying to help the family of 7-year-old Akeem Briscoe, who was killed Wednesday when someone opened fire in an alley and sent a stray bullet into his home in Humboldt Park

Akeem was washing his hands for dinner in his family’s home in the 2600 block of West Potomac Avenue around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday when a bullet pierced through the bathroom window and hit the boy in his stomach, police and family said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he later died, authorities said.

Neighbors launched an online fundraiser Thursday to support Akeem’s family. The money will go toward funeral expenses and other unexpected costs, according to the fundraiser. A GoFundMe representative confirmed a neighbor set up the fundraiser and Akeem’s uncle, Terribia Misters, will receive the money on behalf of the family The fundraiser had raised more than

killed

$5,500 toward its $25,000 goal as of Friday afternoon.

“Our neighbor, Akeem Briscoe, tragically lost his life on October 26th to gun violence. He was 7 years old,” the fundraiser reads. “Akeem loved to play with other kids in the neighborhood, as well as trying new things. He loved his dog, Angel. He was so excited to go to school today and go on a field trip.”

Akeem’s grief-stricken family, along with the city’s top officials, including Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago Police Supt. David Brown, are pleading with the public to help police solve Akeem’s killing.

Anyone with information about the shooting should call the police anonymous tip line at 833-408-0069 or submit an anonymous tip online, officials said.

Akeem was killed just a few days after the funeral for his father, who died this month after heart surgery, Misters said. He was an af fable kid who was looking forward to going on a school field trip Thursday, Misters said.

West Siders settle on plan for redeveloping Mars factory

Community members agree that a mixed-use development would be best for the factory after it closes in 2024

By JAMIE O’TOOLE Contributing Reporter

When it comes to what community members want to re place the Mars candy factory 2019 N. Oak Park Ave. in Galewood once it closed in 2024, the people have spoken. Residents have settled on a mixeduse development for the site

During the fifth and final public meeting about the site’s future development held on Oct. 19 at the new elementary school at Riis Park, 6100 W. Fullerton Ave. in Belmont-Cragin, community members saw some conceptual designs presented by re presentatives with Teska Associates, a landscape architecture firm based in Evanston.

Scott Goldstein, a principal with Teska, presented three design proposals at the fourth public meeting on Oct. 8 at Austin Town Hall, 5610 Lake St. in Austin. Attendees then selected the one they liked the most.

“So this is a factory with walls,” Goldstein said on Oct. 8. “Now we’re trying to create a community without walls.”

T he design proposal that the majority of community members recommended during the fourth meeting features a “boulevard” design, which is a style that provides lots of green space and is bifurcated into seven different areas

One area includes roughly three acres designed for neighborhood commercial or healthcare uses. Another seven acres is split in two, with one side dedicated to a training, education or recreation space. The other half would house offices and a business incubator

Additional acreag e will be divided i nto a space housing an outdoor classroom, a wildlife habitat space and an area dedicated to urban farming and renewable energy, among other uses

A landscaped boulevard path will stretch throughout the areas for access and a service road along the railroad

will allow trucks to travel to the urban farming or business areas, eliminating residential traffic on the other side of the site, Goldstein said.

During the fourth meeting on Oct. 8, Kandalyn Hahn, re presenting the historic preservation division of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, said she’s confident that once a status re port is complete, the city will focus on preserving the factory’s original facade dating to 1929.

“The majority of landmark preservations only concern the exterior,” she said. “That means whatever you want to do to the interior — you can do it.”

Whether or not the site will become a landmark, however, comes down to a City Council vote following the completion of

the re port.

Hahn said the Mars factory site is considered an orange-rated building, meaning it has significance within a neighborhood context. She said the determination of landmark status is a six- to 12-month process

She said the commission has met with Mars re presentatives to notify them of the building’s orange-rated status. A consultant has be gun examining the building’s history and architecture to determine if it meets at least two of the seven criteria for landmark status

Brian Hacker, the West Side coordinating planner for the Chicago Department of Planning and Development, said the Mars site would likely need to go through a series of zoning changes to accommodat e the proposed design changes.

Hacker said the site is within the Ar mitage industrial corridor and also comprises the 15th Planned Manufacturing District. Any uses within the area that f all outside of manufacturing and industry would require amending

the city’s current zoning ordinances that govern the Mars site’s development.

T he zoning changes need to go through extensive departmental reviews and public hearings before making their way to the City Council for approval. Hacker said more public meetings will happen over the course of the factory’s redevelopment.

T he design recommendation made by attendees over the course of the five meetings will be reviewed by Mars executives, who will make the final decision about the factory’s future.

Following this decision, Mars will communicate with the community on a quarterly basis to update residents on the decision and buildout process, said Ben Anders, the sponsorship and eng agement manager at Mar s.

T he updates will be posted via “various channels” to reach a wide audience, Anders said, adding that he doesn’t know yet what exactly those channels will be

West Sider’s bet on woman’s basketball pays o

Ana Sierra’s grassroots league has drawn the attention of Jor

By MACK LIEDERMAN Block Club Chicago

A West Sider’s women’s basketball league returned last week.

Ana Sierra is the one-woman operation behind the Ana Sierra Women’s Basketball League, a semi-pro league of local women’s players, many of them for mer college stand outs and overseas professionals. The league started its eighth season on Oct. 27 with a new sponsorship and court design from Jordan Brand, Sierra said.

Games are 7-9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at UCAN, 3605 W. Fillmore St. Tickets are $10 for adults. The season will run through mid-December thanks to the support of volunteers, fans and local businesses, Sierra said.

“The sky is the limit for women’s basketball, especially right here in our neighborhoods,” Sierra said. “We continue to pave a way for women and girls to play And I’m ec static more people are taking notice.”

Sierra, a for mer college player at West Virginia State University, started the league so she and other competitive players could play after work, she said. But Sierra took a “leap of faith” when she made the league her fulltime job three years ago after leaving a corporate career Downtown, she said.

Sierra serves as a player, team captain, or ganizer, promoter, accountant, league commissioner and friend of the 60 women playing across six teams.

Sierra’s also now a member of the Jordan Brand Women’s Collective, a sponsorship deal featuring 33 city-based influencers who serve as ambassadors for the women’s game at Jordan events and in Jordan marketing

With the support of Jordan, Sierra has been able to organize basketball clinics for girls throughout the year, speak in front of audiences about her league’s story and continue to grow visibility for women’s basketball, she said.

This year’s league will “tap more into amplifying the stories of our players,” Sierra said.

“A lot of these ladies aren’t just hoopers. They’re coaches They’re police officers. They’re people with good community jobs,” Sierra said. “Not all of us can play in the WNBA. But we want to show young girls that you can still achieve great things through the game.”

Hundreds of supporters attended opening night of last year’s league.

Sierra invites local entrepreneurs to set up stands near the court and “showcase what they got going on, too,” she said. They’ll be back this year, Sierra said.

Sierra’s been organizing the league even while she recovers from a ruptured Achilles tendon she suffered while playing last month.

“There’s been days when I want to throw in the towel, say, ‘League’s canceled,’ but I know that consistency is key, and it sends a message,” Sierra said. “All the women and the girls who come watch were looking forward to it. I didn’t want to disappoint them.”

Sierra usually plays in the league, but said she’ll have to sit this season out.

“I’ll be there in my boot,” Sierra said. “I have to have basketball in my life, one way, shape or form That’s the passion we all have for it.”
