Housing Task Force moves forward By Alyse Horn Over a year ago, Mayor Bill Peduto appointed an Affordable Housing Task force, made up of many experts, advocates, and community representatives to address the need for affordable housing in the City. The task force has been working for over a year and came up with recommendations and priorities, the top priority being a $10 million Housing Trust Fund that would create “a devoted revenue source that is locally controlled and can rise to meet the community’s greatest housing need and also fill the gaps that are left by other

affordable housing programs,” said Gale Schwartz at a post agenda meeting on July 20. Schwartz is with the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania and also a member of the Affordable Housing Task Force. “When looking at the challenges faced in the Pittsburgh market, the greatest unmet housing need in Pittsburgh currently exists for extremely low income households,” Schwartz said. Low income households are families that make less than 30% of the area medium income, or a family of four that is living off of $24,000 per year. Mark Masterson, executive director of the Northside Commu-

nity Development Fund and also a member of the task force, also spoke at the July 20 meeting and said this is “the first real opportunity for neighborhood development and housing development in more than 15 years” in the city. The money appointed towards the trust fund can be used in every neighborhood in the city for varying needs. Councilman Reverend Ricky Burgess said during the meeting that it is a necessity to have affordable housing everywhere in the city, and said he is in full support of the trust fund and the need to find the $10 million needed per year over the next 10 years.

Music festival wraps up another successful year
Photo by Alexandria Stryker
The Park Stage was a popular spot for attendees to enjoy the weather and the seven bands who performed there during DMF. By Alexandria Stryker and Alyse Horn The Deutschtown Music Festival is a free event that began in 2013 with 46 bands. This year, it grew to 189 bands performing in multiple venues from Manchester to Troy Hill. Cody Walters, co-founder for the event, said almost 400 bands entered submissions to perform at this year’s festival. Because of the growth, the event spanned over two days, July 8 and 9, and was filled with sights and sounds that drew artists, vendors and droves of visitors from across the region. Local bands and musicians of various genres, including rap, rock, and alternative, played for enthusiastic crowds on three outdoor stages and at 17 local restaurants and other businesses. The main stage, set up at the intersection of Middle Street and Foreland Street accompanied by the adjacent beer garden, created a hub of activity in the area throughout the festival. Several
musicians played until and sometimes past midnight at a few restaurant locations, ensuring the party continued well after sundown. Food tents and trucks lined Foreland Street and the North Park of the Allegheny Commons during the daylight hours. The incredible array of offerings included several barbecue options as well as cupcakes, halal, popsicles, Mexican, and more. This selection, paired with the options from restaurants hosting bands, provided the energy needed for people to boogie the night away. The festival also included tabling by assorted nonprofits, artists and merchants offering information and goods for sale to attendees. In North Park, a rock climbing structure and inflatable structures, including a bounce house, added even more variety to the event and engaged visitors of all ages. As an experience unlike many others in Pittsburgh, this festival is able to showcase the talented performers and also the traits that make the Northside shine.

Tripoli Street Bakeyard open for locals until October By Alyse Horn Bakers, movers, shakers; all are welcome at the Tripoli Street Bakeyard, located at the intersection of Tripoli Street and Chestnut Street. The bakeyard started as an innovative project out of Neu Kirche Contemporary Art Center in part with their Fallow Grounds for Sculpture project and was implemented by Michelle Illuminato. Fallow Grounds for Sculpture “is an annual summer arts initiative that activates vacant sites located in East Deutschtown with innovative projects that re-imagine and re-purpose Pittsburgh’s vacant lots,” according to the Neu Kirche website. Although Amy Masters has taken over with “Roadside At-
traction” for August, the bakeyard will be open until October for locals to use the outdoor cob oven whenever they please, as long as they have the proper training. Aisha White, program and events manager at Neu Kirche, said residents can contact the staff to get training so he or she knows how to use the oven. After that, White said trained locals can let the staff know a few days in advance when they would like to use the oven and employees at Neu Kirche can make sure the oven is ready to go and provide the necessary equipment to bake. There are also monthly happy hours and open bake days the last Sunday of every month. The next happy hour will take place on Tuesday, August 18 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and the theme is German night.

Observatory Hill History Tour explores neighborhoods past
Photo by Greg Sciulli
Along with a trolley tour through the greater neighborhood, there was also a walking tour along Riverview Avenue By Donnie Mangino From 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 17, guests of all ages were invited to experience the first Observatory Hill History Tour. After registering at the main entrance of Riverview Presbyterian Church, patrons were given the opportunities of a walking tour along Riverview Avenue, and a trolley tour of the greater neighborhood. Hosted by Observatory Hill, Inc.—a nonprofit community based organization—it was their goal to bring its guests back to the past, and to share the rich history of the Observatory Hill neighborhood. “We want to share a little about the history, architecture, and future of the northernmost neighborhood of the Northside,” said John Canning, docent of the trolley tour and the Vice President of Allegheny City Society. The tours brought its guests through iconic locations that were important facets to the development and history of the Observatory Hill neighborhood; such as the development of Riverview Park, the affluent owners of the homes along Judges’ Row, and the Byzantine Seminary. The tour brought its guests back to the primordial stages of Observatory Hill and its original location in Allegheny
City before its annexation by the city of Pittsburgh in 1907. The trolley ride traveled along Perrysville Avenue, hugging the lush outskirts of Riverview Park. “Neighborhoods go through different stages, transformations, and redevelopment,” Canning said. Observatory Hill’s greatest barrier to development was its lack of convenient transportation. However, with the beginnings of the streetcar transportation in the mid-1890s, Observatory Hill experienced a building boom and became a “streetcar suburb”, a common moniker for communities whose developments were greatly influenced by electric trolley lines. “At the turn of the century this neighborhood reinvented itself to a thriving middle and upper middle class community. This community is moving in a new direction in the twenty-first century” Canning said as the trolley drove through the Business District of Observatory Hill, and informed the riders of some of the potential business endeavors the neighborhood can look forward to. “Communities are always reinventing themselves,” Canning said, and one can only look forward to the new directions the community of Observatory Hill will take as it continues to thrive through the 21st century.

Matt Hannigan from the Sprout Fund, the organization that helped fund the Deutschtown mural, called it a “lasting piece of art” and said he was sure that residents will “enjoy this as an asset for years to come.” A parade of other officials also gave comments on the mural’s importance and meaning. The lineup included Councilwoman Darlene Harris, owners of Allegheny City Brewing Al Grasso and Matt Yurkovich, and Guy Costa, a representative of the mayor’s office who said the city would “like to see more murals in Pittsburgh.” Amy Novelli, the artist hired for the project, spoke about the mural lovingly and praised Pittsburgh for its unique character and charm. All emphasized the strong community effort that went into the planning and execution of the project and drove the effort. AMark Fatla, the executive

The large “Deutschtown” text of the mural is difficult to miss, but “between the lines” of these painted letters, he commented, “it says something” about the community. “Between the lines, it says ‘we love this neighborhood,’” Fatla said.

Brighton Heights dekhockey teams receive proclamation On Tuesday, July 12, Team Pittsburgh DekHockey was recognized by the city for winning the U.S. DekHockey Federation National Champions in two age groups, the Knights and the Warriors. Team Pittsburgh, having a reputation of producing talented players who are also representing Team USA this summer, attended after a five-plus year hiatus from the national tournament. “It is such an honor to have our teams attend this prestigious tournament, let alone win in two different age groups,” said Team Pittsburgh President Mike Albright. “Seeing their team names and photos on a national level is a real accomplishment.” Over July 15 weekend, the teams traveled to Canada and the Knights were able to add an international victory to their local and national record.
“These kids are like a welloiled machine,” said Rachael Rennebeck, a parent of two boys on the team. “They are methodical and disciplined. More importantly, they trust and depend on each other’s strengths and truly realize that it is a whole team effort to have accomplished all that they have this season.” The Knights beat one Chicago and two Boston teams in Niagara Falls during the tournament, making their record 6 out of 6 tournaments won. Rennebeck said their record is 24-1-1 for wins/losses/ties, and that the Warriors lost in the semifinals. The teams practice at Marmaduke Park in Brighton Heights.

Puppets: a project that became a passion
Photo by Theresa Casciato
Puppets of Andy Warhol, Mary Cassett, and Sidney Crosby during the City’s Bicentennial Day Parade. For the full story and photo album, visit www.thenorthsidechronicle.com By Alexandria Stryker Pittsburgh’s Bicentennial Day Parade was a celebration of the city’s unique culture and achievements, a spectacle that included a display of Pittsburgh’s popular figures — in the form of a 10-feet tall puppet march. For puppet maker Cheryl Capezzuti, a Northside resident, these puppets were a central part of the festivities on July 9. She has been creating these figures for 20 years, but the commission by Mayor Bill Peduto’s Bicentennial Committee was her biggest project to date. It was an “honor” to create the “centerpiece projects of such a big event,” Capezzuti said. The puppets, worn on a backpack over their “operator,” were designed to tell the history of the city through representations of Pittsburgh individuals from the past, present and future. While “mainstream” figures took their place in the lineup, such as George Washington, Andy Warhol, Mr. Rogers, Andrew Carnegie, and even Mayor Peduto, Capezzuti also took special effort to include “non-obvious” characters as well.
Pittsburgh was a land “special to people for thousands of years before [Europeans] arrived here,” Capezzuti said, and the inclusion of a Queen Aliquippa puppet pays homage to this. The Seneca tribe leader’s alliance with General Washington and the British was critical during the French and Indian War. Likewise, the relatively unknown African American community activist Dorothy Mae Richardson was critical in the development of the NeighborWorks America fair housing nonprofit. Her work on the Central Northside allowed her representation a spot in the parade. Each puppet was given a name tag, and their significance was narrated from the grandstand in Market Square. In addition to specific figures, Capezzuti also represented a “dream for the future of Pittsburgh” with a puppet doctor, chef, professor and “techie.” These professionals symbolize the mix of people and industries fueling the economy in Pittsburgh. The message, according to the artist: “We welcome people from around the world to make our city great.”

Goal of $10 million per year for affordable housing in city From Housing, Page 1 gess said that to fully fund this trust fund is sending a signal to the country and to Pittsburgh, that “people who work hard count.” Adrienne Walnoha, the chief executive officer at Community Human Services, expressed anger that it has taken so long to have a conversation about affordable housing in Pittsburgh, but also said she was thrilled it is finally happening. “Housing is a basic right and a need,” Walnoha said. “The numbers of people who do not have stability in housing are staggering.” According to Bill #2016-0602, some eligible uses for the funds are the preservation of existing affordable housing through rehabilitation or repair, homeownership counseling pre or post pur-
chase, foreclosure prevention and mitigation, tangled title assistance and energy efficiency (to keep the cost of ownership of homes affordable). The funds can also be used to increase the accessibility of new and existing affordable housing to seniors and people with disabilities, and to increase the production of affordable housing for sale or rental to ensure that communities experiencing rapid growth and escalating housing costs continue to have Family Sustaining Rental Housing, and ensure that very low income families have opportunities to live in safe neighborhoods with good access to public transit, jobs, good schools, childcare, grocery stores and other amenities that families need to improve their and their children’s health, safety and economic self-sufficiency.

During the post agenda meeting on July 20, members of the task force and council discussed plans for raising needed funds to better enable the City to address its shortage of affordable housing units. “At any given time there is an average of more than 2000 homeless households on a waiting list for housing and homeless services in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County,” according to Bill #2016-0602.

‘Painting for Preservation,’ envisioning the return of Allegheny Commons Pedestrian Bridge By Alexandria Stryker Imagine a Pittsburgh more connected to its communities, both present and past — picture your city with more pedestrian engagement and with a more revitalized landscape. At a special presentation during the Northside’s OpenStreetsPGH event on July 31st, the dream was painted into reality. The Young Preservationists Association of Pittsburgh is taking charge in a unique project: creating awareness and action for the restoration of the century old Allegheny Commons Pedestrian Bridge that has been out of commission for over 15 years. This landmark was added to the organization’s “Top Ten” list in 2014, marking it as a high priority project. The association’s mission statement involves using “community engagement and education to advocate for the preservation of historic sites and structures in the Greater Pittsburgh region,” making OpenStreetsPGH the perfect opportunity to promote this venture to the Northside and larger Pittsburgh communities. According to the YPA website, the bridge was built in 1906 over railroad tracks running through the park. The structure served as a con-
nection for park visitors between West Commons and Brighton Avenue. However, the bridge fell into disrepair as the years passed, and the city closed access in 1999, citing safety concerns. The arch and deck of the bridge were demolished in 2013 in accordance with new railway regulations, leaving only the abutments that stand on both sides of the track today. According to Matthew Craig, the executive director of YPA, the nonprofit is partnering with the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy and the Allegheny Commons Initiative for this project. The bridge is originally part of the Conservancy’s Master Plan, a restoration framework for parks across the Pittsburgh area, but the YPA’s efforts have prioritized this particular undertaking. “This is their work, and we’re just trying to help them with it,” Craig said. The Conservancy and the Commons Initiative manage the park, and the nonprofit is lending assistance with this “very large piece.” OpenStreetsPGH, Pittsburgh’s division of the nationwide OpenStreets organization, provides the perfect setting for community engagement on this project.

Q&A interview with exiled writer Tuhin Das By Donnie Mangino Tuhin Das is the ICORN writer-in-residence of City of Asylum in Pittsburgh, and is the author of seven poetry books. In April 2016 he had to flee his home and country Barisal, Bangladesh from threat of death and violence from fundamentalist Islamists. In Bangladesh, freethinking artists and writers are in danger for their anti-Jihad content and live under the threat of death. Today, he calls Pittsburgh his home and shelter. Although he is an ocean away, he possesses an abundance of faith for the future of his country and its people. “I want to see my Bangladesh improve in all aspects,” Das said. In the following interview he shares his experience of exile. What are your earliest memories of writing from childhood? How did they shape the writer you are today? I used to notice the different poetries that we had in our literature textbooks. My first writing was to make parodies out of these poems, while keeping the same structure and style. And then I started to write poetry for children that were published in various magazines. Around 2000 I published my first magazine ‘The Wild.’ It was a little before the time ‘The Wild’ was published in which I really started to take my writing seriously. To date I have seven books of poetry published. Apart from poetry I write about various political, social issues, the importance of secularism, and the right of free speech. What role did religion play in your life and career as a writer? How
did the implementation of statewide Islam in the ‘80s affect you? I come from a Hindu family, although I am not a practicing Hindu. With my Hindu background, I am often judged by the people around me; either by the fundamentalists or my neighbors. We are viewed as the minority. I would like to stress a little more on the first question. In my poetry I did not allow religion to have any influence. My poetry is secular in nature and it mostly speaks about the environment and human relations. However, my columns spoke mainly against the influence of religion in politics. It was 2001 when I began to write about bringing justice to the war criminals of the 1971 Bangladesh war. This was the beginning of my protest. For example, people were encouraging elements of Islam within Bengali poetry. Many symbols of Islam and the Middle East were being encouraged in their poetry. Symbols from the Middle East and Islam. These symbols weren’t common and familiar in Bangladesh. Why should I use these words or why should we encourage poetry that contradicts my heritage? This is one example of the Islamization of literature in Bangladesh. I wrote against the Islamization of poetry. I’m not saying all things in Islam are bad. However, the people who are teaching Islam are trying to impose their original culture, from south Arabia, onto our local culture. It is difficult to adopt this foreign culture, which denies my Bengali heritage and Bengali lifestyle. This is where the conflict begins. We are not in conflict with Islam itself but in the way it is being propagated.

Can you explain your role in the Shahbag protest in 2013? The Shahbag protest movement started in Dhaka, Bangladesh and began on the basis of three main demands: the first was the trial and punishment of the war criminals of the 1971 war who were the local collaborators with the Pakistani army. They were to blame for rape, killings, and other illegalities. We wanted the war criminals to be tried in court. Their targets included Hindus and Muslims, women, artists, writers, and civilians. They were not being punished because they had power and influence. Two, we wanted the ban the Jamaat-e-Islam party, that was deeply rooted in fundamentalism. This fundamentalism influenced the governance of the country. The third demand was the demand to stop the funding of fundamentalism through organiza-
tions such as the Islamic banks, and the insurance companies. According to research, these companies have almost 380 million in Bangladeshi Taka (that’s about $4.8 million in US dollars). Ten percent of that number is used to fund and support militant activities. The origins of the protest begin with social media and bloggers calling people to action. The protest started as a small gathering, but soon it was over hundreds of thousands of people. Very quickly it spread throughout major cities in Bangladesh. I was one of the main workers at the protest in my home city Barisal, Bangladesh. Everyday we blocked off a large section of a main road within the city, we held signs, we would read protest poetry aloud, we drew satirical cartoons of the ’71 war criminals, and held candlelight vigils for their victims.
What made you first realize your writing could be used as a vehicle for protest? Did any writers influence this? In 2000-2001 was when I was editing and writing the editorial columns for my magazine ‘The Wild.’ Six issues were published during this time period. Around the third issue was when I began to write about the justice of the war criminals, and also to write against the influence of religion within politics and in my writing. I am mainly influenced by our beloved, and famous late writer, Humayun Azad. He was a liberal writer, who wrote against the persecution of minorities, the Islamization of literature, and the war criminals. This answer has been cut short.

Education on the Northside
Provident Charter School prepares to open its doors By Alyse Horn Designed for students with dyslexia, Provident Charter School will embark on its first school year by the end of the month. Karen Hanchett, director of enrollment, said that one 4th grade class is full and one 3rd grade class is almost at capacity. The school plans to have two 3rd grade classes and two 4th grade classes with 24 students in each and four teachers to each class, totaling 96 students and 48 in each grade level. The school will continue to “add one additional grade level per year to include students between the 2nd and 8th grades by the 2021-2022 academic year,” according to the press release. One in five children struggle with a language-based learning differences like dyslexia, and Provident is the “first school in the city dedicated to serving the needs of students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences,” according to a press release. During an open house tour of the school, Hanchett said that small group learning is critical for students with dyslexia, which is why there will be one teacher for every six students in a classroom. Hanchett also said that teachers will work with students at the end of the day to complete their homework assignements. For questions about enrollment, contact Hanchett at khanchett@providentcharterschool.org or by calling (412) 636-2014.
Provident Charter School secured the old North Catholic High School location in Troy Hill in June. After solidifying the purchase, clean up and restoration was able to begin on the building. School Principal and CEO Brett T. Marcoux said many of the North Catholic logos in the school, such as the gymnasium, will remain for the beginning of the school year. For the first year, only the first floor classrooms will be utilized.
