Congressman’s grandson murdered Danny Davis’ grandson, Jovan Wilson, was 15 years old By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The murder of 15-year-old Jovan Wilson, who was fatally shot during an alleged home invasion Friday night on Chicago’s South Side, has one of the state’s most prominent political personalities in deep mourning. Wilson was the grandson of Congressman Danny K. Davis (7th), who learned of the shooting while in his office, said his senior adviser, Tumia Rumero. She added that Davis and his son are “totally devastated” by the incident. “No one wants to bury their kids, especially their grandkids,” she said during an interview on Sunday in front of the Congressman’s West Side office. In a statement released Saturday morning, Davis said that he was “saddened to report earlier this evening that two individuals forced their way into my grandson’s home.” According to Chicago Police, Wilson was at his home in the city’s Englewood community with his uncle and three teenage siblings, a sister and two brothers ranging from 8 to 14 years old, when two teenagers, walked into the house and started arguing with Wilson. Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that there “was a history between the young people involved and it was a dispute was over gym shoes.” During the altercation, the 15-year-old shot Wilson in the head with a gun he had been carrying. On Friday, Chicago Police announced that a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl were each facing charges of first-degree murder. They were scheduled to appear in bond court on Sunday. “Unfortunately, this is another example of a fifteen year old with a gun who should have never had See DANNY DAVIS on page 4

PREPARING TO FEAST: A line of people snakes around McDonald’s, 5015 W. Madison St., on Saturday for a turkey giveaway. The event was one among several held on the West Side in the days leading up to Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving comes early on the West Side The days leading up to the holiday were filled with feasts By WENDELL HUTSON Editor

The 17th Annual Food for the Body & Spirit Thanksgiving Program sponsored by the Black McDonald’s Operators Association of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana ended Saturday in Austin with 2,000 turkeys distributed over four days.

The event was just one of several that planned during the days leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday on Nov. 24. Last Saturday, Corinthian Temple Church of God in Christ, 4520 W. Washington Blvd., held an early Thanksgiving dinner for more than 100 community members. And that same day, the Greater Westside Community Coalition and Cook County Commissioner Robert Steele (2nd) hosted a dinner for hundreds at Collins Academy High School, 1313 S. Sacramento Dr. Residents began arriving at McDon-

ald’s, 5015 W. Madison St., at 6 a.m. for the Food for the Body & Spirit event even though it was not scheduled to start until 8 a.m. Maurice Brown, an Austin resident, was first in line and among 1,000 people who braved the cold temperatures to receive a free turkey and gift bag filled with other food items. “I got here earlier because I wanted to make sure I get a turkey for Thanksgiving. Soon after I arrived more people started showing up but I was the first

STREET beat

Lindsey Slater, 41, can sing for days While covering a recruitment and job readiness fair, held Nov. 18 at the Above and Beyond Family Recover Center, 2942 W. Lake St., we encountered Lindsey Slater, who was seeking work. Look for the story online soon and in next week’s edition. I’m a recovering addict. I have six weeks clean. I’ve been in Chicago for eight months. I’m from Mississippi, where I used to work at a catfish pond. I came to Chicago when my baby mama sent me an e-ticket. When she put me out, I wouldn’t go back, because Mississippi is too far away from my baby. I have a seven-year-old daughter and she’s given me inspiration to be a direct dad. Me and her mom are not together no more, but we still communicate and I’m still going to do whatever I can for my baby.

On coming clean I’ve never even thought about being sober. I’ve been drinking since I was 9 years old. I’ve been smoking marijuana since I

was 11 years old. When I got out of the hospital, I just figured I was going to go right back out there and do what I wanted to do, but something clicked. It was Oct. 12 and I was in a community meeting at the Boulevard [a homeless shelter]. I have two blood clots and I was homeless. They took me there straight from the hospital. Everything about the place is awesome. They helped me with everything. They feed you, have heat, water, clothing — the whole nine yards. I realized that I had, like, a haze over my eyes, a veil. When you’re under the delusion of drugs, your mind is altered. You got a cloud that covers everything. But when it came off, it was like, ‘Bam!’ You got a mission to do. God blessed me with my hands. I can sing and write music. I realized the blessing that I have and have to not be selfish with it. I have to put it out there. I got over 373 songs I wrote. I can sit here and sing for days.

it,” Davis noted in the statement. “Where did the gun come from? How did he get it?” Davis said that “better education, more supervision, after school activity and better parenting” could have prevented his grandson’s murder. “The Congressman feels like the violence, the reentry efforts and the poverty efforts he’s been engaged in — all of it is connected and he believes we need to look at it from a state of emergency perspective and usher in as many resources to communities devastated by poverty,” said Rumero. During an interview on Sunday, Davis said that his grandson’s siblings and parents “are very, very distraught.” “All of them are going through the experience of trying to undersand and are asking the question, ‘Why Javon? Why us? Why did this happen? How could it have been defended?” Davis said that, although he

was heartened by the news that suspects had been captured and charged in connection to Wilson’s murder, he takes no glee in it. “I’m not excited about [their capture],” David said Sunday. “That’s not my approach or feeling. I would also want to make sure that their rights are protected, that they have every protection that our judicial system provides for them and I’m sure that justice will prevail in the end. But we’re still asking questions and trying to figure out how we prevent this from happening.” The Congressman said that he’s received support from across the country, including calls from Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. DANNY DAVIS On Nov. 19, Rev. Jesse L. Congressman Jackson, Sr. released a statement My deepest condolences go out to Rep. Davis and his family as well as to the 700 other Chicago families – the 700 other grandparents, the 700 other mothers and fathers, the 700 sisters and brothers, the 700 aunts, uncles and cousins – who know and share the same heartbreaking pain and soulnumbing sorrow.” As of press time, no funeral JAVON WILSON Grandson arrangements for Wilson had been finalized.

DEPOSIT CHECKS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. THANKFUL: Around 2,000 turkeys were distributed in four days across the city by the Black McDonald’s Operators Association of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. The fourth and final event was held in Austin on Saturday. WENDELL HUTSON/Contributor

THANKSGIVING Turkey days from page 1 on the scene,” said Brown. “Coming here is nothing new for me. I always come to their (McDonald’s) turkey giveaways. It means a lot to me to know that black business owners are willing to give back to the community.” Leann Porter, a 59-year-old North Lawndale resident, was the second person in line after arriving also at 5 a.m. “I got here early because usually when someone is giving away something free it will be a large crowd,” said Porter, who added she drinks coffee at McDonald’s every day. “McDonald’s has been a friend to us ‘west siders’ for a long time and that’s a good thing.” Ron Lofton owns a McDonald’s restaurant in Austin and is the only black, McDonald’s franchise owner on the West Side. “Giving back to the black community means everything to me because without them I would not exist,” explained Lofton. “McDonald’s provides jobs to the commu-

nity and pays taxes that benefit the local infrastructure and that helps make the community stronger.” While the BMOA held three giveaways on the South Side and one only on the West Side, Lofton said he expects that to change next year. “I fought hard to have a giveaway on the West Side and moving forward I expect us to do more giveaways on the West Side,” added Lofton. Former Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte helped distribute turkeys for the BMOA Friday in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the South Side along with the Chicago chapter of the NAACP, while radio personality Ramon “Ramonski Luv” Wade from V-103 broadcasted live from the West Side. “This is what it is all about people. Helping one another out during difficult times,” Wade told the crowd that stretched two blocks. “Look to someone, give them a hug and let them know they are loved.” Read more about the numerous Thanksgiving dinners held on the West Side at austinweeklynews.com.

In July, according to city documents, the Chicago Board of Education voted to ask the Chicago Commission of Public Buildings, which currently holds the title to the property, to transfer the title to CHA — a request that public buildings commissioners granted. Before the housing agency takes control of the title, however, the city will need to change the zoning to allow the building to be used for non-educational purposes. The CHA’s plans that were submitted to the committee show a total of 14 one-bedroom units on the third floor, with three larger units located right above the main entrance.

The second-floor would have four call center rooms, four offices for building inspectors and a conference room. The first floor would have two more conference rooms, a reception room and five office spaces. But not everything on that floor will be CHA space. Plans call for keeping the building’s existing auditorium an office for an unspecified “community partner.” Ald.

Austin Weekly News, November 23, 2016

Speak with your kids before a judge does

very year around this time, I write a column asking people to talk with their young people about current issues. Last year in 2015, the issue was about the movie Chi-Raq (ain’t we all glad that piece of garbage was a commercial failure?) and how just three weeks prior to its premiere, Tyshawn Lee, age 9, was stalked and killed. One would think that the “shock and awe” response from the black community regarding a little boy being executed at point-blank range would have put a serious dent in the murder spree in Chicago. Not surprisingly, it didn’t happen. The major reason I write to the young people at this time of the year is that for far too many families, it’s the one time everyone gets together and sits down to eat a meal as a family unit. Modernization has taken away many cultural aspects and for a lot of Americans, family dinner time is nonexistent except around the holidays. Sadly, violence is again on the table as a subject for conversation. The news that filled this past weekend, regarding the murder of Congressman Danny K. Davis’ grandson, Javon Wilson at the hands of the two alleged killers, Tariq Harris, 16, and Diajae Banks, 17, is just another sad reminder of young males being murdered at the hands of other young people. Does it make a difference that this latest victim of the senseless violence was the grandson of an elected official? Yes and no. “Yes” because his grandfather can and is using his grandson’s death to speak out from his bully pulpit. At this time and under these devastating circumstances, Congressman Davis has the political capital to get some needed things

done. In several interviews I saw over the internet, he has spoken out about gun laws. But at the same time “No” because the loss of any life is tragic. As families gather for the holidays, hopefully someone will initiate the conversation about guns and the inappropriate use of deadly force. The two alleged killers of Congressman Davis’ grandson Javon were known within hours of the murder. The killing of Javon was allegedly sparked by a dispute about some “Made in China” gym shoes that cost pennies to manufacture and hundreds of dollars to purchase. In an interview, the mother of Diajae Banks professed her daughter’s innocence. Yet the laws dictate, and they have been on the books for a long time, that one does not have to be the individual who pulled the trigger to be held accountable once said trigger was pulled. Just being there can make one as guilty as the actual killer. In all the new stories I watched, Congressman Davis has displayed a remarkable façade in light of what happened to his grandson. I don’t know if I would have that kind of fortitude to face the public after such a horrendous act. So as families gather on Thanksgiving Day, please have a responsible matriarch or patriarch speak up about the loss of life that can occur when young people carry weapons and don’t think twice about using them. Tell your young people the truth. If they go to jail, they may have to be there as the money is funny and paying unexpected attorney fees isn’t on the agenda. Speak with them about this latest incidence because if Black Lives Matter, it has to start with us.

NAVIGATING ONLINE: A cyber-navigator at Austin Branch Library helps a community member with online tasks. people need computer help, Jaicks said. For some elders in particular, computer use is a whole new experience. “With seniors, you get some who are really excited about it, but you also get people who are nervous the whole time, and I’m like ‘it’s OK, we’re doing it,’” Jaicks said, adding that others are just frustrated by this new electronic world. “When they applied for jobs, they just walked into the place and brought their resume. But you just encourage them; this is kind of the way the world is and there are people here to help you,” said the 27-year-old Jaicks. Austin Branch Manager Jo Anne Willis said she’s glad to have her there. “For a person who is not computer literate, all this stuff is beyond them. The cybernavigator makes it easier for them,” said Willis, who’s worked 10 years at the Chicago Public Library, including the last two at the Austin Branch. “Rachel does a great job,” she said. “She just started here so a lot of people probably don’t know that we have someone here who’s available.” Jaicks said she’s learned a lot herself working as a cyber-navigator. “I feel like I have a much better grasp on cyber security and what people need to watch out for on the internet, and also how people learn,” she said. “You learn what works for people and what doesn’t, and you learn how to be patient because this isn’t second-nature for a lot of people.” A south suburban native, Jaicks, like other millennials, grew up in the computer and internet age. She said it’s easy for her generation to forget that others didn’t. “A lot of people don’t know how to do this at all, so you have to give people an opportunity to learn it.” To learn more, visit the Austin branch or call (312) 746-5038.

W. Side alderman supports higher bar for tax increase

Taliaferro says a proposed ordinance requiring two-thirds approval before property tax hike a longshot By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th) said during a Nov. 17 town hall that he would support a proposed ordinance that would require any tax increase to have been approved by two-thirds of the City Council. The measure was introduced by Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36th), who joined Taliaferro and two other alderman during the event, held at the Northwest Community Church on the northwest side, to discuss with city residents the 2015 property tax increase, among other government issues. The majority of residents who spoke during the town hall, which was hosted by the Belmont-Cragin-based nonprofit Northwest Side Housing Center, expressed their dissatisfaction with Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s proposal, made last year, to increase property taxes by more than $750 million in order to fund the pensions of city workers. Carlos Olivero, the chair of the NSHC’s housing committee, told the aldermen that various taxes and fees paid by residents amount to an unsustainable burden, before asking whether or not the aldermen will support Villegas’s proposed ordinance. “I urge you to look into your moral heart and see where families are being [hurt], little by little,” he said. “I want you

Chris Taliaferro (29th) to recognize that you are elected officials and you’re elected by the people.” Reboyras said that, while he may be open to requiring a supermajority, he didn’t support stopping tax increases altogether. Sometimes, he said, tax increases may be necessary. “Would I vote to halt all tax hikes? Absolutely not, that’s

insane,” he said. “When is the last time you saw a budget in Illinois?” Villegas said that he proposed the ordinance because he believed aldermen take tax and fee increases too lightly. Raising the threshold would require the city to work harder to justify future tax increase and put some effort into justifying them to taxpayers. “I feel that if this is such a big issue related to finances, two-thirds of the body has to make the decision,” he said. “So when the vote is taken, it reflects the majority of Chicago.” Taliaferro said he would support the measure, but added that he isn’t optimistic about its chances of passing given how many ordinances were introduced. Right now, the proposal is stuck in committee. “I think it’s a great proposal, but I’m afraid it won’t see the light of day,” he said. “It’s important that you, as our constituents, not only put pressure on aldermen, but also put [pressure] on the committee chair for it to be heard.” Taliaferro also explained why he voted against last year’s budget, which included the massive property tax increase. The West Side alderman said that, as a former police officer who is eligible for a pension, he had a stake in having the 2015 property tax increase passed; however, he voted against the hike because he wanted to follow his constituents’ wishes. “Even in communities [in the 29th ward] that aren’t doing so bad, like Galewood and Montclare, I didn’t receive one voter asking me to support the 2015 budget,” he said. “It was a difficult vote, because we need to shore up pensions for people who worked [for the city] for many years. But I didn’t think he city looked at every opportunity [to raise] money.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

Galewood residents cool to car wash at US Bank site The proposal draws criticism, pushback from residents

Residents hear a presentation about the site of the vacant former US Bank building on North Avenue in Galewood during a meeting last Wednesday.

erty, is currently fielding proposals from businesses, says Matthew Cairo, the firm’s owner. A national fast food chain, as well as a grocery store, are among the prospects eyeing the former bank and adjacent parking lot. US Bank moved out of that location earlier this year. A Chicago car wash chain is also interested in the property. The owner, Phillip Degeratto, discussed the property with Galewood residents at a community meeting last Wednesday. The majority of residents, however, were vehemently opposed, and some even hostile, to the idea of a car wash at that location. Degeratto’s Buddy Bear Car Wash has five Chicago locations, including Garfield Park and suburban Bellwood. But residents cited traffic and safety problems that the business would bring. Residents were also concerned about whether the site would be able to sustain the amount of water needed for a car wash. Barbara Lewis, who lives on the 1600 block of Normandy north of North Avenue, was among those opposed to a car wash. “I’m concerned about the volume of traffic,” she said. “Right now, I can’t even get across the street to get to the bus, so I need something that brings a low volume of cars.” Residents instead suggested either a library or office building at the site. Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th) said he’s open to a library, but the city would have to purchase the site, something he said is unlikely because of the current budget shortfall. Any other proposal for the site will be brought to the community for vetting, the alderman added. Taliaferro also assured residents that the car wash idea is not a done deal, but one of many proposals he plans to bring to the community. “Any project that wishes to be a part of this ward, we present it to the community first,” he told the roughly 60 people in attendance. After hearing from residents Wednesday, Degeratto expressed doubt that his proposal will be accepted. “I think right now they’re not too warm to it,” he told AustinTalks. “They’re worried about the traffic, legitimate concerns. Maybe if they do experience one of our car washes, they may feel more comfortable with it.” Degeratto, who’s been in business for 30 years, said he’s interested in Galewood, because he grew up nearby in Oak Park. Cairo, a Galewood resident himself, said he was surprised by the residents’ hostility toward the car wash. Cairo said he liked the library idea and ultimately wants to do what’s best for the community. “You can put a pretty nice library there if we can work something out with the city, maybe,” he said. US Bank, meanwhile, is consolidating its footprint in the area. The company is doing a teardown and rebuild of its drive-thru facility at 6729 W. North Avenue in neighboring Oak Park. Residents will have a final say about the car wash proposal at Taliaferro’s community meeting next month at Rutherford Sayre Park. CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

DeVona Alleyne was brought on by Rape Victim Advocates last month By TERRY DEAN AustinTalks

The Chicago nonprofit Rape Victim Advocates has hired its first full-time counselor to serve the Austin community. DeVona Alleyne, a licensed counselor and minister, was hired to the post last month. The agency’s Austin site has been open since 1998, but had been operating with just a parttime counselor. Founded in 1974, Rape Victim Advocates provides free counseling to survivors as well as their loved ones. The agency also offers free legal help to survivors as they navigate the justice system. Located at 4909 W. Division, the Austin office is among four satellite locations citywide run by the agency, whose services are funded through grants and private donations. Last year, some 400 clients were served at all four locations, according to the agency. Alleyne said her office sees about 20 clients a week but will be able to help more survivors with a full-timer in place. RVA volunteers are also among the first responders to speak with survivors at hospitals, from shortly after they’re admitted until they’re discharged. If survivors want additional counseling, they can make an appointment to see Alleyne. “It’s letting people know we’re here,” she said. “And particularly in communities like Austin, sometimes there’s a stigma with respect to receiving counseling. So a part of what I do in general as a professional is removing that stigma.” A native of Charlotte, N.C., Alleyne said the Austin neighborhood is where she wanted to work. The agency, she added, also provides education to the community about sexual violence and how to talk about it. Alleyne, who started as an RVA volunteer last year, said the agency had wanted a fulltime worker in Austin for some time. Over the last year, Austin has had 78 incidents of sexual assault reported to police, including five cases in this last month, according to Chicago Police data compiled by the Chicago Tribune. Nationwide, just over 84,000 incidents of rape were reported to police in 2014, according to the FBI, based on data compiled from local law-enforcement agencies. In Illinois, some 4,000 cases were reported to law enforcement in 2014, according to the Illinois State Police. Still, many rape cases go unreported. National studies suggest the number of

TERRY DEAN/AustinTalks

ON BOARD: DeVona Alleyne is now the Rape Victim Advocates’ full-time counselor serving Austin, the community’s first. rape victims is far higher because many victims don’t report the crime to police. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for instance, pegged the number of rape victims in 2010 to be more just over 1 million, according to the agency’s national survey on sexual assault violence. Legislation approved by Springfield lawmakers this past summer looked to make it easier for survivors in Illinois to come forward. The new law, signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner in August, includes mandated sexual-assault-response training for local law enforcement, among other measures. “Victims of rape need so much support to deal with the trauma they have experienced,” said Austin state Rep. La Shawn Ford, one of the legislation’s co-sponsors and a supporter of Rape Victim Advocates. “With all of the social service cuts we have experienced, it is important to give credit to organizations that are moving forward to meet some of the needs in Austin,” Ford said of RVA. Educating the community about sexual assault is another important piece of the agency’s mission, said Alleyne, a former journalist whose career included a stint at the Chicago Tribune in the mid-2000s. The agency’s legal advocate on staff also provides a much needed service: helping survivors through the entire legal process, including a trial, Alleyne said. For survivors first coming to the office, they’re sometimes unsure of what kind of help they’ll actually receive. Alleyne said RVA staff, volunteers and interns are here to welcome and help them. “If you can go into an office and just be real, and be fully accepted with no judgment, that’s what counseling can provide.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com
