West Side developer plans business incubator in West Gar eld Park

The K business incubator part of e or t to revitalize Madison/ Pulaski corridor

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

TruDelta, the development firm founded by lifelong West Sider James Webb, is raising funds to build a business incubator in West Garfield Park’s long-neglected Madison/Pulaski corridor. The business incubator would be called The K Entrepreneurship Development Hub, in reference to both its location at the northwest corner of Madison Street and Kostner Avenue and the fact that north-south streets in that part of the neighborhood tend to start with a “K.” It is planned as part of Sankofa Wellness Village, a collaboration between area stakeholders and de- and Grill.

In Gar eld Park, young men face warlike violence, greater risk than actual war: study

More trauma, most lasting trauma than American soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq wars

By TRE Y ARLINE Block Club Chicago

Shootings on the West Side have made so young men there were more likely to be killed than U.S. soldiers were during conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, a newly re leased study has found.

The study, published in the medical jour nal JAMA Network Open, found 18to 29-year-old men in 2020 and 2021 were more likely to be killed in a shooting in the 60624 ZIP code, which largely covers Gar field Park, than a U.S. soldier was in the Afghanistan war or a soldier in an Ar my combat brig ade that fought in Iraq between 2003-2009.

And the trauma that warlike violence causes will linger with neighbors the rest of their lives, af fecting their mental and physical health, according to the re search and local violence inter rupter Even neighbors who aren’t immediately af fected by a shooting and the people who are trained to prevent and respond to gun violence face struggles, violence inter rupt ers said.

Inter rupters said the physical trauma of the violence can be scar ring for survivors and cause lifelong health complications

Local nonviolence workers said the shootings af fect young men’s mental state by de sensitizing them to violence, and that can lead to de pression, social withdrawal and other mental health complications.

“It plays like a video clip that is on re peat in their minds forever,” said Clif f Nellis, executive director of the Lawndale Christian Le g al Center “It can af fect slee p, focus at school and lead to drug addictions to self-medicate from the trauma.”

Brandon Del Po zo, an assistant professor at Brown University who conducted the study and a for mer New York City police of ficer, said the level of violence, the roots of it and the ef fect it had on neighbors in Garfield Park in 2021 and 2022, is similar to what he saw on patrol in some of the most violent neighborhoods in New York in the ’90s, when murders and violence skyrocketed.

“In the most dangerous places in Chi-

cago, it is very bad for young men, and it is worse than our own understanding of war,” Del Po zo said.

Nellis said shootings leave mental and emotional wounds for people that desensitize them to violence and can make them constantly live on edge He said bracing for a shooting has become instinctive and second nature for some West Side residents Nellis has heard shootings from his own backyard in North Lawndale on more than one occasion, and it’s left him shaken, he said. He and his daughter once had to duck under a table in their home when they

heard eight shots near their house.

There are less obvious impacts, too: For example, for young men, violence and its lasting trauma can af fect their job prospects, and the violence can leave victims who lack health insurance with thousands of dollars in medical debt, violence exper ts said.

Del Po zo said he conducted the study to get around partisan views of gun violence statistics, and he used war as a benchmark of life-threatening trauma that could effectively make anyone understand the level of violence in af fected neighborhoods

Del Po zo and Nellis said that unlike wartime violence — where service members leave a war zone after their tour is complete — people living in communities like Garfield Park are constantly sur rounded by warlike levels of violence for years, if not decades

Though the number of people killed citywide declined last year — with 695 murders re por ted compared to 804 in 2021, according to police data — activists said more work must be done.

But many violence prevention advocates are wary of just throwing more police at

the problem, saying it can perpetuate the cycle of violence.

“I think our criminal justice system is failing us, no matter who we are,” Nellis said. “We are spending unbelievable amounts of money putting people in prison, which just traps them in a cycle of violence they can’t escape.”

Del Po zo, Nellis and other exper ts said the solution is to make significant investments in the future of West Side communities This includes investing in small businesses, providing better housing options, making public spaces such as parks safer, giving more suppor t to violence inter rupters and expanding extracur ricular opportunities for children.

“We need to bring people hope,” said Francisco “Frank”

Pere z, associate vice president of UCAN, which provides comfort and services to families in the immediate after math of shootings. “We have to do more entrepreneurial things and grow the community and give people more oppor tunities to excel.”

Providing mental health care could also

be key, exper ts said. Black people are far less likely to receive mental health care treatment despite feeling more emotional distress, such as sadness and hopelessness than white people, according to McLean Hospital, the psychiatric teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.

“Mental health treatment is very impor tant,” Nellis said. “Black and Brown communities don’t really value mental health treatment that much, and it needs to change.”

More and more often in re cent years, exper ts have said it is these kinds of ef for ts

that can lead to a reduction in violence and long-ter m changes

Outreach and inter ruption groups have drawn increasing interest. They often focus on hiring and training locals to identify potential conflict and the people most at risk to commit or be victimized by violence Those workers can then reco gnize problems and ste p in to mentor youths and prevent shootings and other crimes before they happen.

Gun violence victimization among young people who eng aged with Communities Par tnering 4 Peace par tners decreased by 33 percent in the 18 months after workers eng aged with youth, the org anization said in 2021. Chicago CRED leaders said in 2022 that intervention programs helped shootings drop by nearly a third in West Garfield Park and nearly 57 percent in Nor th Lawndale

But the violence has ef fects for those workers, too: Many violence inter rupters suf fer from PTSD from having direct involvement in stopping violence, and they are often not seen as credible in the eyes of law enforcement or hospital workers, according to a study by the University of Illinois in Chicago

Pere z said his employees are required to see a clinical therapist monthly to deal with the trauma they face

“Almost all of our staf f are from and live in the community. They have a vested interest in seeing these changes,” Pere z said.

Black and living with HIV/AIDS. Documentary premieres on West Side

Can epidemic be eliminated by 2030?

By MICHELLE ME YER Austin Talks

Over 100 people gathered at Malcom X Colle ge recently – on National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day – for the premiere of the Chicago De par tment of Public Health’ documentary “HIV and the Jour ney Toward Zero.”

The film, in par tnership with Tessa Films, highlights six Chicagoans living with HIV/AIDS. Through their storie the one-hour long documentary shows the history and future of HIV/AIDS in Chicago

City health data shows that AIDS diagnoses are at its lowest since 1985 and HIV cases rose just under 2% in 2021 from 2020. But Black Chicagoans are disproportionally affected – over half of the new AIDS diagnoses in 2021 were among Black Chicagoans.

The film, directed by Chan C. Smith, aims to highlight diverse stories of people af fected by HIV while showcasing the latest treatments and CDPH’s goal to reach zero new HIV/AIDS cases by 2030.

“We are nearing a point in time where an end to this e pidemic is on the horizon,” David Kern of the Syndemic Infectious Disease Bureau said at the premier. “What does it mean to end this as a person with HIV?”

During a panel discussion held after the film, HIV advo-

cates featured in the documentary discussed their experiences living with HIV.

Evany Turk said Chicago saved her life through community, housing and therapy she received while living with HIV and raising a child.

“I was so ashamed the whole pregnancy, so depressed. I didn’t want to live It was a bad, bad time, even in the hospital giving birth to that boy. That boy is now the joy of my life,” Turk said.

Sanford E. Gaylord shared how he lost two best friends to AIDS. “What really, truly helped me was going to outpatient therapy at a place called the Gateway Foundation,” he said. “Mental health is real. I’m Black, first. Then I’m gay. Then

answer questions a er the premiere.

I have HIV. Can you imagine living as a minority within a minority within a minority?”

Gaylord said the documentary is part one, and there will be a second documentary that focuses on a younger generation.

Dr Cynthia Tucker of the AIDS Foundation Chicago said she works with many West Side organizations that provide HIV prevention and treatment, including the Austin Health Center, Erie Family Health Center and Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center Rush and UI Health UIC both have HIV clinics and transgender centers

Future screenings of the film will be updated at jour neytowardzero.com.

A 5-foot x 30-foot section of brick façade fell from an unused building on the West Sub canpus last week

Winds cause small portion of West Sub façade to fall

Collapse occurred on vacant former nursing school building

By STACEY SHERIDAN Staff Reporter

High winds apparently caused a portion of the brick façade on a building on the campus of West Suburban Medical Center to detach and fall to the ground on Feb. 21. No one was injured during the incident at the old and vacant school of nursing which fronts Erie Street just west of Austin Blvd.

“It appeared approximately 5-feet x 30feet, plus or minus, of brick veneer had dislodged from the structure above the top floor on the nor ther n wall,” said Tammie Grossman, Oak Park development customer services director.

The bricks fell at about 7:15 a.m., Feb. 21, according to Manoj Prasad, CEO of Resilience Healthcare. The Village of Oak Park was notified of the accident not long after and emergency personnel blocked the street from traf fic, while village staf f discussed the situation with West Suburban’s maintenance staf f. The situation was monitored throughout the day.

The building was inspected by village

A professional engineering evaluation of the impacted area, as well as an overall building evaluation, was conducted the after noon of the accident. Prasad told Wednesday Jour nal the following mor ning that he’d rece ived a verbal re port that the building was structurally sound.

“We will g et the facade re paired as permitted by the village,” he said.

No services are provided out of the building, so the accident did not cause any lapse in patient care T he building has not been in use since West Suburba n’s nursing school shut down, roughly a decade ago.

T he Village of Oak Park’s Neighborhood Services Division remains in communication with West Suburban staf f and is continuing to monitor the site, according to Grossman.

K BUSINESS

Madison/Pulaski corridor

from page 1

velopers that seeks to revitalize a business corridor, which has never recovered from the 1968 turmoil which erupted in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr,’s assassination. TruDelta is working with the Project Forward business development organization. While they have currently raised enough money to cover a little more than half of the project’s projected costs, Webb said he is optimistic that they would be able to close on the site by the end of this summer and finish the project within the next 11-12 months.

Webb said he grew up in Austin and currently lives in Garfield Park. He said he founded TruDelta in 2009, and the company has been focusing on projects throughout the South and West sides of Chicago. The developer is part of one of the finalist teams for the proposed redevelopment of vacant lots around the Kedzie/Lake el station. Webb said they joined forces with Austin-based Citizens for a Better Community and the East Lake Management Corporation to submit a proposal to redevelop the site that includes the for mer West Garfield Park Aldi site at 3835 W. Madison St.

He reflected that, while West Side developers often find themselves competing against each other for development proposals – Citizens for a Better Community is on one of the other finalist teams for the Lake/Kedzie project – he holds no ill will against them, and he likes to try to collaborate with them whenever possible.

Sankofa Wellness Village is spearheaded

by the Garfield Park Rite to Wellness Collaborative, which includes Rush Medical Center, the Garfield Park Community Council, New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, Erie Family Health Center, the West Side United collaborative (which itself includes Rush among its members), Bethel New Life church and the Bobbie E. Wright Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center, among others. The idea is to build amenities West Garfield Parkers would need to live longer, healthier lives. That will include a new Sankofa Village Wellness Center, an art and community development center operated by New Mount Pilgrim church and a community grocery store.

Webb emphasized his development

team didn’t want to build anything that felt imposed upon the community, without consideration for how the community feels.

“We thought we can do community-focused development with people from the community, and start to create a walkable environment where families can eat, they can shop, they can play in safety,” he said. “[We wanted it] to be some place that we feel is culturally relevant, where people from other cities would like to come to so they can get a taste of authentic Black Chicago.”

As with other business incubators, the goal is to provide office space and access to resources and equipment budding entrepreneurs would have trouble securing on their own. Webb said that in addition to office spaces, MakerSpace equipment and conference rooms, the building will include a coffee shop. Fathers Who Care, a long-time West Garfield Park community organization, will be operating its training and workforce development programs out of the building.

Having multiple entrepreneurs in one space, Webb said, would create opportunities for connection and collaboration. And once the businesses get of f the ground, the hope is that they will decide to relocate

within the cor ridor and populate vacant lots and vacant storefronts.

“What we’re seeking to do is incubate the West Side businesses, so they’re able to buy up and relocate along the Madison/Pulaski Cultural Corridor,” he said.

Webb estimated the project would cost around $5.5 million, and they have already raised about $3 million of that. The developers are applying for a variety of grants, including funding for environmentally sustainable buildings and for Equitable Transit-Orientated Development.

He said hiring local is important and that TruDelta plans to build on its existing relationships with workforce development programs. The project website is already asking interested entrepreneurs to submit their contact infor mation, and the development team is planning to hold business development workshops in the coming months.

Webb said he is quite eager to do his part to revitalize the Madison/Pulaski cor ridor.

“I think [The K] is a great opportunity for us to be able to jumpstart development on the west part of the corridor,” he said.

Hurry up, Spring!

This has been a very mild winter for the most part.

I am grateful for not having had tons of snow to shovel. And during the coldest days this winter, I was for tunate to be in Las Ve gas and completely missed it.

I do think my pipes froze while I was gone. When I turned on the bathroom faucet, the water was murky brown and took a moment to run clear. After that, I had a lot of grit that ke pt coming through. But it was easier to deal with that inconvenience than to have the opposite occur. I know a lot of people whose pipes burst. For not having to deal with that, I am extremely grateful.

In my backyard, I’m noticing some tulip leaves starting to emerge. I planted a dozen brand new ones in that bed, but the squirrel dug up each one and turned it into a meal. I’m going to take pictures once they fully develop so that I can have a reference should I add additional bulbs to that area for next year. However I learned that I will now cover the freshly planted bulbs with protective screening so the squirrel can’t get to it.

JONES

In my back yard, I’m noticing some tulip leaves starting to emerge. I planted a dozen brand new ones in that be d, but the squirrel dug up each one and turned it into a meal.

I ran across a really good deal on some planters that I can attach to my back porch. I’m already imagining beautiful fl owers growing from them. I’m also starting to pre-think my ve getable garden. I grew watermelon last year, but didn’t know they need to be on black plastic to encour-

age their growth along with a chicken wire covering to stop the squirrel from munching on it. Should I want to start certain plants from seedling indoors in order to get them planted outdoors, now is the time.

I saved my zinnia fl ower head seeds from last year. I have an entire shoe box filled. May 15 is our last frost date, so I’m going to begin to spread the seeds around. I’ll put different amounts of seeds down every two weeks so that the growing period will be at different stages to create a continuously flowering bed. Last year I got a lot of compliments on how pretty the flowers were out front. I want to re peat that same effect this year. Several years ago, I lost the best handyman Austin of fered. I’m still looking for a new one. I purchased a brand new flower box for my front. It’s a little too big, so I need someone to cut it down to fit underneath the front ledge. With all the thousands of homes here, why should it be so darn difficult to find someone to do small jobs? Where is our version of Black entrepreneurs like the ones who stand around Home Depot looking to be picked to do work?

I’m going to keep jotting down my list of things to do outside this spring and summer.

The best part is it should not be a very long list.

Ervin challenger Walker back on the ballot at 11th hour

Appellate court backed challenger

By KAYLEIGH PADA and IGOR STUDENKOV Block Club Chicago / Staff Reporter

Incumbent Ald. Jason Ervin ended up facing some competition for the 28th Ward seat after one of his challengers was able to get back on the ballot and another mounted a write-in campaign.

All three candidates who tried to run against Ervin faced challenges to their nominating petitions. U.S. Ar my veteran Timothy Gladney withdrew, telling Austin Weekly News that he didn’t see the point of spending time and money trying to defend the challenge. Nurse Beverly Miles and construction consultant Shawn Walker persisted, only for the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners to throw their cases out. Walker took his challenge to the Illinois Appellate Court

The cour t ruled in his favor on Feb. 17, and the board of elections deter mined Walker should be reinstated because he had one valid signature above the le g al minimum. Ervin attempted to appeal, but the cour t sided with Walker again on Feb. 23, ensuring a place on the ballot. Meanwhile, Gladney decided to mount a write-in campaign. The results of the race were not available at press time.

Walker was disqualified in January after the same board deter mined he did not have

14FORTY BAR Family legacy

from page 1

The building, which was once called Enter prise, was one of several bars Cox said her family ran in the neighborhood. She worked at Enter prise before the bar closed in 2017.

Before Enter prise, Cox’s grandparents owned the building and ran it as a bar under a dif ferent name in the 1980s, she said. Her aunts and uncles have all owned bars Cox was among 79 winners chosen for the grant out of 612 applicants, said Peter Strazzabosco, de puty commissioner for the

the required 473 valid petition signatures

At the time, he told Austin Weekly News that he would appeal.

“I don’t think this process will hold up in the cour t of law, and I think one of the things that’s very time-wasting [of] taxpayer dollars.”

Ervin attended hearings against all of the candidates that were objected to. While his name wasn’t on the objectors’ petitions, he didn’t outright deny his role.

“These are folks living in the community,” he told Austin Weekly News. “They want to make sure things are done right and proper.”

After the appellate cour t ruled in his favor, it sent the issue back to the election board for another hearing, and commissioners on Tuesday night ag reed Walker collected 474 valid signatures — one more than the minimum required.

“I would like to thank God, my attor ney and my team for standing with me during this challenge,” Walker said following the election board’s decision. “This is another classic story of David vs Goliath. Today, we won the battle, but the fight for the 28th Ward is not over. Now, it’s time to go win the war.”

At the time, Ervin, said he would appeal.

“We appreciate the Chicago Board of Elections working swiftly on this matter,

city’s planning and development de partment. The grant will cover 75 percent of construction costs for the bar Cox served in the Ar my for 20 years and is now in the Reserves, working as a financial analyst. Raised in Nor th Lawndale, she wants to open the bar to bring an entertainment and dining experience to Nor th Lawndale residents

“I just want to bring the community back, because I remember, as a little girl, we could cross the street to get to anything that we wanted,” Cox said. “We need to bring stuf f back to our community so we don’t have to go outside of our community for these things. It would be extremely empowering.”

The grant Cox received is part of the Chicago Recovery Plan, a citywide economic

but disag ree with their decision,” he said in statement. “We will be filing an immediate appeal with the Illinois Appellate Cour t to remedy this situation.”

In reviewing the case Feb. 20, the elections board deter mined 16 of Walker’s signatures were er roneously discounted.

A few people signed Walker’s petition twice, but instead of removing the duplicate signatures from the tally, their names were completely erased, of ficials ruled. Restoring those signatures back and correcting a few other discrepancies pushed Walker over the required number of signatures, of ficials said at the hearing.

Objectors argued some of those signatures weren’ t valid because of handwriting discrepancies.

plan to help businesses af fected by the COVID-19 pandemic recover or establish themselves

Sophia Carey, a senior recovery team program manager for the De par tment of Planning and Development, said Cox’s bar plan was given a grant because it will open in an area lacking in investments The grant was also given, she said, based on Cox’s dedication to the community.

“Based on the application she gave us, she’ ll have a unique operation for the area,” Carey said. “For cer tain residents, it’s unfair that they have to leave their own neighborhood to have a good time with their friends and family. She’s been working on this for years, and that shows her perseverance.”

Cox plans to hire 12 to 16 workers.

A hearing of ficer on Feb. 20 nonetheless recommended the signatures count toward the total because of Walker’s swor n testimony about collecting them.

Ervin was appointed to the of fice by for mer Mayor Richard M. Daley in January 2011. In 2015, he ran unopposed after knocking his seven challengers of f the ballot through petition challenges In 2019, Ervin was reelected in a four-way race While corrected mailed-in ballots weren’ t sent to voters, the voting machines were re progr ammed to include Walker’s name T he 359 early voting ballots already cast in the 28th Ward will be processed and counted. People who already voted cannot request a new ballot, of ficials said.

BUILD’s life changing new campus opens to chang e young West Side lives

Adam Alonso heads BUILD, a violence prevention program

By JESSIC A MACKINNON Contributing Reporter

(Editor’s note: This profile of BUILD’s Adam Alonso ran in the Weekly’s sister paper in Oak Park se veral weeks ago. To mark the Feb. 25 opening of the organization’s new 51,000 square foot, $21 million campus at Harrison and Laramie, we are offering it now.)

Although he took a detour from an initial plan to become a doctor, Adam Alonso is saving, or at least changing, lives nonetheless. As CEO of BUILD, a West Side nonprofit focused on gang intervention, violence prevention and youth development, Alonso and his team serve more than 2,500 vulnerable youth every year. His work was recently recognized by the inaugural Chicago Bears Inspire Change Changemaker Award. The award was accompanied by a $10,000 grant from the NFL Foundation, through Bears Care, a program that has partnered with BUILD since 2012.

Alonso was honored during a frigid half-time in the Dec 24 Bears-Buffalo Bills game, in a live presentation viewed by thousands of fans He particularly appreciates the award because of his desire to be a positive role model for the youth served by BUILD

Alonso, an Oak Park resident for more than 20 years, grew up in Summit and graduated from Argo High School before enroll-

ing in the University of Chicago’s pre-med program. Fairly quickly, he realized that didn’t have the drive required to be a doctor He graduated with a degree in Latin American Studies and joined the Peace Corps, with an assignment in Ecuador, but political unrest prevented his involvement. Instead, took a job as a school-age director with Casa Central, a Hispanic social service agenc serving children and adults

“I took the position at Casa Central be cause I was desperate for a job, and they were desperate for war m bodies. After two years, I transitioned to a position managing the teen program. At that time, I thought I hated teenagers — I thought they were disrespectful and loud and I was fraid to engage with them. But I soon realized that I really did like them — and the messier they were, the more I liked them,” lonso said.

Then, at the age of 24, Alonso experienced an epiphany that would change the course of his life While working at Casa Central, which was operating out of the basement of a North Side church, a clearly distraught kid showed up looking for the pastor, who was not there at the time As the boy walked away, an inter nal voice told Alonso to call him back.

He lear ned that the youth had a two-year-old, with another on the way, and had been homeless since the age of 11. His mother was a heroin addict and he saw his father shot and killed in a park He was selling drugs and had smoked all his inventory and, in desperation, was planning to kill himself because he didn’t know what else to do

“Hearing his story was so far out of the realm of my own life I realized that there were people out there who suffered from

poverty, and I was so grateful to have had a loving family, people who would hug me and ask me about my day and worry about my future. I understood that it was incumbent on me to do everything I could to support this young man,” Alonso said.

Alonso maintained a relationship with the youth, through years of ups and downs involving drugs and prison, until he was shot and killed

“That relationship was my introduction to what Christianity really is I was raised in the church but this taught me what it truly means to serve God by offering unconditional love. It was the defining moment for me. That relationship changed me from the inside out,” Alonso said.

Alonso joined BUILD as CEO in 2015 after a number of leadership positions with Chicago social services agencies. He was aware of the organization’s solid reputation. Founded in 1969, BUILD had grown to be one of the premier gang intervention agencies in the country. Under Alonso’s leadership, the organization has grown exponentially — in size, capacity, financial support and reputation.

When he took over, BUILD’s programming was scattered throughout schools on the West Side Alonso quickly realized the value of offering comprehensive after-school programming in a central location in the Austin neighborhood

“Offering programming in our own building allowed us to experiment and try new things. But we also knew that we needed to get out and introduce ourselves to our neighbors because no one knew us. We worked hard to thread ourselves into the fabric of the community by attending block parties, community meetings and work groups. We really embedded ourselves in the neighbor-

including arts and woodworking, based on what young people were requesting. According to Alonso, staff operated under the assumption that, if they just got started and did things right, the money would follow.

However, in 2018, Alonso and his team realized that they needed more space. The board approved a 50,000-square-foot campus, combining renovated and new space, with a steadily increasing price tag — from $15 million to $18 million and then $21 million. Fundraising was halted in March 2020 by the pandemic. The campus is at Harrison Street and Laramie.

“In May, a $5 million grant from the state energized the campaign. And a $2 million commitment from a couple who really believed in the project convinced us to go full steam ahead. That $7 million made us realize, that, oh my gosh, we can absolutely do this!” Alonso said.

Alonso said while fundraising at this magnitude was uncomfortable for him — he had never led a capital campaign before — it was made easier by the urgent need to combat a growing rise in violence in the Austin neighborhood. Plans for the new campus were based on input from the young people BUILD serves, as well as from the community and staff.

The facility will ultimately cost almost $28 million and include art studios, a recording studio, a computer center, a mental health center, public café, and a full-size gym, all surrounded by green playfields and a community garden. A grand opening is scheduled for February.

Alonso expects the building to serve as an anchor for the Austin neighborhood — and to further his dream of saving, or at least changing, a few more lives.
