Austin pastor endorses Lightfoot Rev. Ira Acree says he’s among first pastors to support the openly gay candidate By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
On March 10, Rev. Ira Acree, the pastor of Greater St. John Bible Church, 1256 N. Waller Ave. in Austin, endorsed mayoral candidate Lori Lightfoot. The endorsement came on the heels of Willie Wilson’s endorsement of Lightfoot. Both endorsements could help Lightfoot shore up her support in the city’s African American community, particularly among black churchgoers. Acre announced his endorsement of Lightfoot, over Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, on Sunday. During a follow-up interview on Monday, Acree said that he was only endorsing on behalf of himself and not the church or any organizations he’s affiliated with. He also added that he’s the first black pastor he knows who has endorsed Lightfoot. “After much prayer and contemplation it soon became very clear to me who the next leader of our city should be,” he explained in the statement. “Many of us on the South and West Side have grown very weary and tired of the See LIGHTFOOT on page 8

Two restaurants could be built near ‘cop academy’ Peach’s Restaurant and Culver’s could locate near fire and police training academy By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
Two black-owned restaurants could open near the planned police and fire training center in West Garfield Park if the Chicago City Council approves a zoning change necessary for the businesses to locate in the area. On Feb. 28, the Council’s Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards
recommended that the two businesses — Peach’s Restaurant and a training center for Culver’s Restaurant — be allowed to open within a manufacturing district near the proposed fire and police training center at 4301 W. Chicago Ave. Now that the critical zoning changes have cleared the committee, they’re headed to the full City Council for final approval on Feb. 13. During public comments at the Feb. 28 com-
Proud to partner with Austin Talks
mittee meeting, residents were divided on the proposed restaurant openings. Some West Side ministers and residents spoke in favor of the project, arguing that it would bring in much-needed investment and improve public safety.

Ayesha Curry wants to revive the lost art of family meals The budding lifestyle mogul also gave some advice for would-be boss ladies
By SHANEL ROMAIN Contributor
She’s a restauranteur. A bestselling author. A television host. A wife. A mom. A foodie. And on March 4, she took a brief moment out of her busy schedule to chat with Austin Weekly News at Macy’s in Chicago, moments before she put on a cooking demonstration for a crowd of wide-eyed onlookers. “My whole mission — and why I do what I do — is to try and bring families closer together,” said Curry, the wife of NBA point guard Stephen Curry and mother of three. “I want to get families back to the basics of preparing a meal together and sitting them down at the family table.” Curry, 29, said that she noticed that family meals, or simply meals enjoyed among loved ones, was becoming a “lost art” among many of her friends and peers. “Those are the fundamentals I grew up with,” she said. “A lot of people stopped doing that at some point. My missions is to keep [alive the tradition of eating together] and have people understand what an impact it has on your family.” So what advice would she give budding entrepreneurs, particularly young female entrepreneurs, on the West Side? “There’s so much misogyny out here and so many people who are going to try to diminish your dreams,” she said. “I’ve been told no a hundred million times more than I’ve been told yes. You have to keep in mind that you only need one yes. If you have a dream, don’t stop until you get there — no matter how much people discourage you.” Success, Curry said, is never easy. “Nothing worth having is easy,” she said. “It’s hard work. People look at me and think things have been handed to me, but I’ve had to plow through a lot of stigma that kept me from getting into certain doors. It took a long time for people to take me seriously. You just have to keep your head on straight and drown out the noise.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com
RESTAURANTS Coming soon? from page 1 In June 2018, Ald. Emma Mitts (37th), whose ward includes the training center site, held a meeting to discuss the facility’s economic impact. Bringing in a sit-down restaurant near the site was one of the priorities that Mitts and many residents and business leaders supported.

inal restaurant in Bronzeville. Late last year, he opened a satellite location in Washington Park, inside the space previously used by the Currency Exchange Café coffee shop. Culver’s is a national franchise, but the training center that’s proposed for the manufacturing district will be owned by Baron Waller, an African American franchisee who operates the chain’s first Bronzeville location. He also owns locations in Joliet, New Lenox and Lockport. Rome told the aldermen that, as with other locations, he would “hire and train from the [area’s] zip code.” He also explained that he runs a training program to teach residents deemed unemployable practical skills they would need to get jobs in the restaurant industry.
“The idea is to get them 50 percent ready for actual industry,” Rome said. “Either fulltime or part-time employment with us or we can get them industry-ready. The idea is to have a ready group of [people] interested in the industry.” There was no discussion as to whether or not the development of the proposed eateries are contingent on the training center’s construction. Both candidates in the mayoral runoff — Cook County Board president Toni Preckwinkle and former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot — have called for the city to hit the pause button on the training center. “I’m not willing to wait another second,” Mitts said during the Feb. 28 meeting. “I’m not willing to wait while our kids are afraid
to go outside.” As the discussion came close to the vote, No Cop Academy activists loudly protested. “The only young people under 20 in this room don’t want it to happen!” shouted Tanbi Singh, referencing the training facility. “Don’t speak for young people!” “There will be boycott of Peach’s!” shouted organizer Page May. “You don’t understand our community! Do not do this! This is a terrible idea! How dare you!” After the vote was cast, the No Cop Academy activists regrouped in the second-floor lobby. “There will be picket lines every Sunday!” May said.

Waiting list for affordable suburban housing opens up The Housing Authority will open waiting list for project-based housing vouchers in suburbs, units designed for disabled, low-income residents By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
The Housing Authority of Cook County has opened a waiting list for project-based voucher units designed to provide affordable housing to disabled residents, Housing Authority officials recently announced. There will be 42 one- and two-bedroom units available at sites scattered across the western suburbs of Bellwood, Berwyn, Forest Park and Maywood within the next 12 months, officials said. The units are part of a project called Access West Cook. As part of the project, residents are eligible for project-based vouchers that subsidize 70 percent of the rent. In order to be eligible, the “head of household, co-head or spouse must have a verifiable disability” and must not make more than 50 percent of the area median income (AMI). The AMI is $29,650, $33,850, $38,100 and $42,300 for one-, two-, three- and four-person
households, respectively. Some units are restricted to households that don’t exceed an extremely low income limit, which ranges from $17,800 for a one-person household to $25,400 for a four-person household. According to Housing Authority officials, applicants who are currently on the Authority’s Housing Choice Voucher wait list, who are “literally homeless,” who are “veterans,” or victims of “domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking” will take priority. The Authority will start a c c e p t i n g c o m p l e t e d applications by mail or email only beginning on Wednesday, March 13, at 10 a.m. Applications that are submitted before then will be rejected, officials said. The wait list will stay open until the Authority receives 50 completed applications. To access the application, visit: http:// thehacc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ AWC-Pre-Application-Package.pdf.

Austin event space in the works
Business owner Letrusia May wants to turn Chicago Avenue storefront into elegant gathering space By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
An Austin storefront near the border with Oak Park is about to get more lively. Developer and business owner Letrusia May plans on turning the location at 5936 W. Chicago Ave. into a private event space for local residents to rent out. The space will also double as a pop-up retail site for area business that don’t have brick-and-mortal spaces of their own. May said that she’s already completed the renovations and is currently waiting to get a zoning change to allow her to host events and a permit to install an awning. The zoning change is expected to go before the full Chicago City Council on March 13. May said that she expects the awning application to make its way through the City Council committees sometime later this month. For the past few years, the Austin African American Business Networking Association (AAABNA) has been working to transform the section of Chicago Avenue between Austin Boulevard and Central Avenue into a thriving “Soul Corridor” filled with black-owned businesses, restaurants and entertainment destinations. Thanks to the lobbying by AAABNA executive director Malcolm Crawford and other supporters, the area was designated a Retail Thrive Zone, which allowed local businesses to apply for grants to cover start-up costs. May, 43, grew up in Austin and owns L. May Creations, a

Her LinkedIn profile also mentions that she has experience as a loan officer and a broker, and it lists her as an owner of Community Residential Solutions, an Austin-based company that rehabilitates and manages apartment buildings.
In 2017, she bought the Chicago Avenue building after receiving a $250,000 Retail Thrive Zone grant to help her buy the Chicago Avenue building and turn the first floor into a physical store. At the time, she had plans to host spoken poetry nights and offer art classes for children. But May said that she had second thoughts about what she wanted to use the space for. She said she wanted to do something that would be more beneficial for the community and make more business sense. “I felt that that our community needed a space that is really elegant, where they could come and have private time with their loved ones,” she said. “People [in Austin] have to go outside the community for that.” In her zoning application, May stated that the space would be “offered to the residents of the community for private meetings and small private gatherings.” During a recent interview, she said the space may also host events like birthday parties and baby showers. May said that she used the grant to renovate the space, buying chandeliers, “top-quality” cabinets and other furniture. She said it was important to her to have something impressive. “[I believe that] you believe in what you can see,” she said May said that she’s already hired two part-time employees from the community, with hopes of hiring more local residents as the business grows.

East Garfield Park residents hope to revive vacant lot
Block club members want to transform empty space into community meeting space By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
A vacant lot on Adams Street, between Sacramento Boulevard and Francisco Avenue, is like many across East Garfield Park — covered in uneven patches of grass, plastic bags, campaign literature and waste strewn about. But for Tracelli Rockford, a longtime West Sider and president of a block club, the lot represents potential. After an ultimately failed attempt to turn the lot into a community garden, she and her neighbors are now looking to turn it into a community space where people can play chess, hold public meetings and parties, stage performances and hold film screenings. There are also plans for a lending library to help make up for the fact that, unlike other West Side neighborhoods, East Garfield Park doesn’t have a branch library to call its own. Rockford and members of her block club have already secured a grant to cover startup costs related to installing outdoor fixtures like chairs, tables, a patio and fencing. Rockford said that the block club hopes to host a groundbreaking for the park in April and start developing the park in the next few months. Rockford said that she was been wanting to improve the lot for a long time. She was sad to see neighbors “sitting out on the sidewalk, in front of their house.” A double murder that happened on the lot in 2011 was the last straw. “It could have been something positive, but it became a drug spot,” Rockford said. “And I thought that I wanted to try to bring life back into our block. Because after that murder

RE-IMAGINED: The vacant lot on Adams Street that a block club is working on turning into an innovative community space. happened, you didn’t see any neighbors. It was a ghost town. And they needed something to just bring life back into the community.” Rockford reached out to Ald. Jason Ervin (28th), whose ward was in the lot, and he connected her to a program that allowed her to lease the lot for five years. Rockford said she worked with the Garfield Park Community Council and Safer Foundation, an East Garfield Park non-profit that works to help ex-offenders lead stable, successful lives. Angela Taylor, GPCC’s Wellness Coordinator and head of the Garfield Park Neighborhood Market, helped the neighbors get trees and shrubs, and Safer Foundation clients cleaned up the lot. “It wasn’t a lot,” Rockford recalled. “But once we cleaned it out and started to bring some form of beautification to it, things opened up. People started coming back out, mingling with each other. It took a while for it to happen.” While the lot was progressing, Rockford took a “medical
hit” in 2014 and the progress slowed to a halt. Rockford lost the lease on the lot. As she recovered and reconnected with her neighbors, however, she figured she’d restore her effort to develop the lot. She found an enthusiastic ally in Carley Mostar, who moved to the block with her boyfriend in 2016. They wanted a public space that could serve the community and reflect what the residents on the block wanted. “The vision for the lot is to bring the community back into our neighborhood,” Rockford said. “We have nothing local. There’s not a local library right there in walking distance. And the closest library is not in East Garfield Park.” Mostar, a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s College of Business Administration. In 2018, she applied for the Ford College Community Challenge grant, which provides grants to students who want to improve their neighborhoods through design. Mostar was one of 10 applicants chosen, with each winner getting $25,000. She said that the $25,000 will cover startup costs related to developing the lot. Mostar added that she’s been reaching out to a local contracting company and specialists to do the paid work, as well as for volunteers and “donated materials and services.” Since getting the grant, the block club has been working with the UIC School of Architecture design students to figure out the park’s design and to see how what they can afford to do. Mostar said that she hopes to have a final design completed by the end of March, and generate community feedback and approval by the time of the April groundbreaking. “The plan is to build up our community — block by block,” Rockford said. “The space will not only serve residents on the block, but it will serve all the surrounding blocks. “ Those interested in volunteering or otherwise getting involved can contact Rockford at Yhelp1@yahoo.com and Mostar at carleymostar@gmail.com.

BIG WEEK
VIEW points Entrepreneurship could be the solution
T
he next mayor of Chicago is going to be faced with a plethora of issues. Especially financial ones. So as we prepare for the April 2 runoff between Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle, as citizens who will have to pay for the cost of their decisions, we should all be paying attention to what they have to say. Although I am already leaning toward voting for one of them, I am open to listening to what they both have to say. Those of us who live in Austin, need to pay special attention. Austin is at a point where we can either thrive, continue to sustain, or slide down and become the next totally economically-depressed area. I want the next mayor to not only promote the idea of entrepreneurship, but also create an environment that is open to it. We need a generation of young people learning that they can make their own money without having to work for anyone. I work part-time for a delivery service, and recently delivered a T-shirt printing press to a young black family. No furniture in the house, but they had invested their money in that press. And I was proud of them because, with the number of funerals we have, a lot of people have T-shirts they wear to it. Every last one of those T-shirts has to be printed by someone. There are also remembrance T-shirts. I know of a family that lost one of their members, and the entire family constantly wears T-shirts remembering that loved one. Then there are all sorts of shirts for family reunions, school reunions and just pride in saying you are “Straight out of Austin.” Whoever is creating and printing those Tshirts is an example of economic entrepreneurship solutions at their finest. I’ve also noticed that all over the North Side, the Bungalow Belt is slowly being replaced by new buildings. I believe we can
make Austin a tourist destination, showing off our huge selection of well-maintained bungalows and Victorian homes. There’s no reason that Oak Park should get all the tourists it gets without us taking advantage of being in the same area. One of the most popular tourist attractions when people go to different destinations, is to have a meal in a local home. Imagine if we could have people open up their houses to show off the different styles of bungalow interiors, and then follow up by being able to cook and serve them a meal? We’re talking about people paying $25 and up. Multiply that by six people, and that’s good money if you’re making it every day and it only takes let’s say 2-4 hours. I remember reading how in New York, one of the popular tours was to visit a church in Harlem, and then have a meal. The tourists come to hear the sermon and especially the gospel choir. We have a plethora of churches here in Austin. Very large churches. Could that be a possibility for us? Again, it’s the notion of making your own money as opposed to looking for someone else to give you a J-O-B. Lastly, I want Chicago to return to having stores on the first floor and living quarters on the second floor and above. That is an excellent way to revitalize our business strips. Especially when you don’t have to worry about meeting the rent payment for the business while also having to pay to live somewhere. My dentist has that kind of setup on Fulton Market Street. That kind of business/living arrangement could stabilize and sustain a community like no other. There are tons of ideas and mechanisms to be put into place to revitalize our city. Pay attention to what the candidates have to say and then vote accordingly.

from page 1 continuous disinvestment on our side of town. We are so sick of the political corruption and very disturbed by the mass exodus of African Americans from this city, because of the decline in their quality of life. Some of us have in fact called this mayoral election our last stand.” Acree, who is the co-chairman of the Leaders Network, a faith-based social justice organization on the West Side, called Lightfoot, who would be the city’s first African American female openly gay mayor, “a triple minority” who “understand the struggle.” “As an accomplished federal prosecutor, a police accountability advocate and as an anti-machine mayoral candidate, she also understands perseverance and success,” Acree said. “She is a triple threat.” The endorsement from Acree happened less than a week after Wilson, the businessman and former mayoral candidate who came in fourth in the Feb. 26 election, which featured nearly historically low voter turnout across the city. Across the West Side, turnout was not more than 30 percent, according to Chicago election data. Lighfoot secured nearly 18 percent of
the vote while Preckwinkle garnered roughly 16 percent and Daley garnered nearly 15 percent. Wilson earned around 11 percent of the vote citywide, according to city election data. Wilson handily won the 24th, 28th, 29th and 37th Wards, according to election data analysis by WBEZ. Wilson’s and Acree’s endorsements could be a strong signal that Lightfoot’s sexuality may not be as big an issue in the black community as some political observers speculated it would be. “Black people, at the end of the day, are like any other ethnic group,” Acree said. “They have their biases, but when they go inside the booth they vote their interests. We are against adultery and extramarital affairs, but we still supported Bill Clinton. We know how to support our interests. Lightfoot benefits our interests. Regular people don’t benefit from machine politics. We need someone to advocate for the little guy.” Wilson announced his endorsement on March 8. That day, Preckwinkle convened a coalition of faith-based leaders who are supporting her, including Phalese Binion, the president of the West Side Minister’s Coalition. “One thing we don’t need is for someone to come in who is learning how to be mayor with all of the issues that this city is having,” Binion said.

Austin students need more options for school
C
hicago Public Schools will soon announce which schools will be awarded new academic programs through their new program RFP process. In September, CPS CEO Janice Jackson announced the process, which would allow schools to apply for additional programming, in conjunction with CPS’s new annual regional analysis. For the first time, this analysis transparently shows how academic programs such as STEM and IB are distributed around different parts of the city. The programs have not been distributed equally throughout the city. The Lincoln Park area has more high school IB seats available than students who live in the region, while the West Side has none. We commend Dr. Jackson for taking this bold step to bring a more fair and transparent way for CPS and the city to make these important decisions about school investments. I hope this will be one of her many accomplishments in bringing more equity to the West Side. However, in order for this to be successful, CPS must remember that equity is the main objective of this new RFP process. There is a real opportunity to bring programs to under-resourced neighborhoods like Austin,
Dwayne Truss where the recent community-driven Austin quality of life plan called for bringing more high-quality programs to local schools. I’m rooting for Dr. Jackson and CPS to make this new process a success so that it can be continued and replicated in future years as we continue to move toward a more equitable school district.

Austin Boulevard – between Lake Street and North Avenue – is one of Chicago’s main arterial routes that city officials have slated to be resurfaced this year. The Chicago Department of Transportation announced this week that it has identified the first 45 miles of arterial streets scheduled to be resurfaced in 2019, Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld said in a statement. In all, the city expects to pave 315 miles of streets in 2019, up from 310 miles in 2018. City officials have identified the first 100 miles of residential and arterial paving locations. Repaving will begin as soon as weather allows and the asphalt plants re-open. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has also directed CDOT to assign more crews to pothole patching after an unusually hard winter. “We’ve made great progress repairing the condition of our roadways over the last eight years, repaving more than 2,160 miles of streets all across Chicago,” Emanuel said in a statement. “But we know this harsh winter season has taken a toll. And that’s why we are setting a high bar for this repaving season …” The repaving work will be done by the CDOT and the Chicago Department of Water Management, along with sister agencies and utility companies that pave roads after completing utility improvements. In addition to the major arterial roadways CDOT plans to resurface this year, it has also identified residential streets and alleys for resurfacing this construction season. Officials are working with the aldermen to determine the best locations for resurfacing additional residential streets. Since paving cannot start until next month, CDOT is working is working with its
unions to increase the number of employees working on pothole repairs. Starting this week, there will be an additional 26 workers on seven new pothole crews. That will bring to the total number of crews working on multiple shifts, including weekends and overnights, to at least 35 on weekdays. Some of the other main arterial routes slated for resurfacing so far in 2019 include:
