Towering Austin activist dies Bob Vondrasek, longtime activist and former head of South Austin Coalition Community Council, died April 19 By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

West Side residents are mourning the loss of a long-time community activist who Ald. Emma Mitts (37th) once described as “the base of the Austin community.” Robert “Bob” Vondrasek, the former executive director of the South Austin Coalition Community Council, died on April 19. His death was confirmed by an official with Hursen Funeral home and close friends. Vondrasek had recently retired from his leadership position with the council due to illness. During an appreciation ceremony held last August at the Austin Satellite Senior Center, 5071 W. Congress Pkwy., community leaders from all across the West Side and beyond heaped praises on Vondrasek, who sat quietly at a table near the front of the room. ““If there ever was a white person who could really deal with the black community, they need to come see you,” Mitts told Vondrasek, according to an article Austin Weekly News published in 2018.

Healthy food service prompts skeptical response in North Lawndale FoodQ delivery service, booming on South Side, met with resistance on West Side By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

A delivery service that aims to bring healthy meals to neighborhoods that don’t have many healthy food options hasn’t gotten as far on the West Side as it has on

the South Side and members of the North Lawndale Community Coordinating Council’s Health and Wellness Subcommittee could think of a few reasons why. Known as FoodQ, the service was developed by BCBS Institute, a subsidiary of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

Launched this winter, its basic concept is similar to certain diet meal plans. The customer pays a subscription in exchange for healthy, cooked meals delivered every day. The idea is to provide an affordable,

Great American Spelling Bee doesn’t disappoint Event draws only three contestants, but drama still high

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

The 2019 Great American Spelling Bee, held April 19 at Austin Branch Library, 5615 W. Race, only featured three contestants. Ironically, the paucity of spellers just proved ESPN columnist Darren Rovell’s point. “I don’t care what critics say,” Rovell once wrote. “Spelling is a sport. You compete. You sweat. And it takes guts to do it.” Friday’s pared down competition included 9-year-old Janiyah Johnson, a third-grader who was uncontested, but not unchallenged. She was alone in the hot seat for 20 straight words among a list of more than 150. She spelled them all correctly. The tension really set in when fourthgraders Jimerreiah Nash, 10, and Sema’j B. Myles, 10, went head-to-head. The audience of roughly a dozen people applauded every word that each contestant spelled correctly. Silence set in when one of them stumbled. A moment of collective anxiety seized the room when the spelling bee’s facilitator had a mental lapse and gave the spelling of the winning word away, prompting a backand-forth between the facilitator and the audience about fairness. Finally, after roughly 20 minutes and dozens of words, Myles tripped on the word “variable,” leaving an opening for Nash to take the JIMERREIAH NASH win, which she did. Spelling bee winner The event, however, turned out to be a win-win for all involved. Afterwards, each child earned a prize and a higher satisfaction — the inherent worth of hard-work and preparation. “I practiced all week, every day, and my grandma made sure I practiced,” said Nash after her win. “I broke my words down,” said Myles, referencing his preparation for Friday’s bee, which he was nervous going into. After it was over, the feeling of relief. One of the facilitators of the spelling bee, which was sponsored by the American Women of Oak Park, said that this is the first spelling bee “we’ve had in all these years that we haven’t had about 40 or 50” contestants. And yet the drama was still there. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

BOB VONDRASEK Austin’s anchor from page 1 “When they first started the CAPS program in the city and you were the leader of the beat facilitators here on the West Side, I came up under you as one of those facilitators and I learned a lot from you,” Mitts said, before sharing a revealing anecdote illustrating Vondrasek’s can-do personality. One day, Mitts said, she ran into Vondrasek while he was filling potholes on Jackson. “I said, ‘What in the world are you doing over there filling potholes?’” the alderman recalled asking the activist. “He said, ‘The city’s not filling them.’ That’s the type of man Bob is. He’s going to get something done.” In a tribute delivered on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, Congressman Danny K. Davis (7th) described Vondrasek as “the most dedicated, committed and most loyal Saul-Alinskytrained organizer that I have ever known.” The following is an excerpt from the Austin Weekly News article about Vondrasek’s appreciation ceremony published in August 2018. As the longtime executive director of SACCC, Vondrasek and his longtime friend and collaborator, Lillian Drummond, became stalwarts in countless fights for the West Side’s poorest and most vulnerable residents. “Bob Vondrasek is the most well-trained, creative, dedicated and consistent organizer I’ve ever known,” Davis said. “I can’t escape the fact that he’s worked in a predominantly black community for about 40 years that I know about.” Davis said SACCC was founded around the time he decided to run for alderman, back in 1977. Vondrasek joined the group a year later. One of the group’s signature accomplishments, Davis said, is the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which helps low-income families pay their energy bills and for various energy-related home repairs. The program

also helps families weatherize their homes. kill Bob Vondrasek! … We eventually made “SACCC was the wind underneath the it back here.

president and CEO of Habilitative Systems Inc. Dew recalled the time Vondrasek and Drummond led the fight, “years ago,” against Ameritech, a telecommunications company that was threatening to close its bill payment centers on the West Side. “If anyone knows Bob or Ms. Drummond, you know they weren’t going to stand for that,” Dew said. “They forced Ameritech’s hands and the company donated the building at 4133 W. Madison St. to Habilitative so we could continue to operate the bill payment center.” That building is now home to the Westside Community Triage & Wellness Center, the first and so far only comprehensive trauma mitigation center on the West Side. “If Bob and Ms. Drummond hadn’t done what they did back in the day, we would not be where we are today,” Dew said. “Their impact will continue to be seen decades from now.

Elected officials need to address the issue now!

istorically and anecdotally, encounters between black people and the police have always generated stories of concern. So much so that black parents would have “The Talk” with their young people, especially as they came of driving age. Although still true today, we have a number of young people whose parents have, for a variety of reasons, obviously failed to maintain that tradition. This past week, spring break for Chicago Public School students, there were at least two incidents involving young black teens going downtown to hang out. Now let’s be clear. Some were just there to mill about. Others went there to create havoc. So rather than being a situation of young people avoiding the police, it was a given that they would have encounters with them. When some of the young people were questioned about why they all went downtown, they professed that they had nothing else to do. My question is: whose fault is that? It is obvious from the cellphones, the weave, and the kind of clothes they were wearing, these were not children whose parents were impoverished, without a dime to their name. And even if money were an issue, their parents could and should be finding things for their children to do over spring break. Since the black community is filled with a plethora of churches, every last one of them should have been open in order to give the young people something to do and a place to go. It is time for the city alderman, the Cook County commissioners, and every last elected state and Congressional official to

get together to put through a comprehensive system to address the issues of our teens. I don’t want to see our young people saddled with a criminal record. At the same time, this society cannot afford to tolerate anti-social behavior. I read where many of the children were released to their parents. But what price should the parents have to pay? Should there be a fine? Should there be serious community service? Should there be intervention with the family by social workers? Should there be a federal mandate that if you take a deduction for these children on your taxes, by doing so you are attesting to the fact that you are raising and training them to be responsible citizens? So far, the incidents and the encounters with police have not led to a situation where the young person has ended up injured. But when the goal for the police is to maintain order and the goal for the young people is to feel they can do whatever they want, it’s only a matter of time before the two opposite sides collide. And when that happens, everyone will be mad at the police while overlooking how these teens are purposely putting themselves into situations that don’t need to occur.

FOODQ

Pushback from page 1 healthy alternative to fast food. But when BCBS officials made their case during the subcommittee’s March 19 meeting, the committee members questioned how affordable it actually was, especially when customers couldn’t pay for it with LINK and prepaid cards. And they also questioned just how healthy the meals actually are. According to its website, BCBS institute works to improve health by addressing social and environmental conditions that contribute to medical issues. Haesun Chang, one of its program managers, explained during the March meeting that the idea for FoodQ grew out of her employer’s work to address “pharmacy deserts” — areas that don’t have a lot of medical options. In communities that have fast food restaurants, corner stores and not much else, there are residents who want to eat healthy, Chang said. Chang said that they decided to put something together that would be within the similar price range as fast food options. And, because they wanted it to be available anywhere in those neighborhoods, they went with a delivery. As Chang noted, the institute tapped KitchFix, a West Town-based company that prepars meals that fit specific dietary needs. Linh

Pham, a fellow program manager, explained that customers can choose meals online, where they can check each meal’s nutritional values. Customers can either pay $10 per meal and a $6 delivery fee, or pay a subscription and get a free meal for every meal he or she buys. The latter option, Pham said, means that subscribers basically pay $5 per meal. Chang explained that while the number of South Side customers “has been picking up like rainstorm,” they haven’t had as much luck on the West Side, which is why they came to the meeting. Chang said that, although she and her team would love for FoodQ to accept LINK cards, the approval process for accepting that method of payment could take as long as four years. Since their priority was to get the program up and running, they didn’t want to wait, she said. Debra Wesley, the meeting’s chair, argued that this undercut what the institute was trying to do. “If you’re targeting communities that are food deserts, and part of the reason why they’re food deserts is they’re impoverished areas (which is why grocery stores aren’t there) how do you not factor it in as one of the ways folks can purchase products?” she asked. Chang responded that their own research shows that the average income in the West Side communities that FoodQ is trying to serve is $30,000. Wesley said that the figure ignores the fact that much of that income goes into rent and other necessary expenses, so residents may not have as

much disposable income. “The dollars, quote-unquote, that they get from SNAP, are important.” she said. “Those are valuable dollars, those dollars are important to helping them feed their families.” Several members of the subcommittee also argued that the institute’s positioning of FoodQ as an alternative to a McDonalds doesn’t work, since a McDonalds meal doesn’t cost $10. Steven Foley, who said that he has experience as a nutritionist, also had questions about how healthy the food really is. He said that, based on nutritional information he had seen, the carbohydrate count of one of the Courtesy FoodQ meals is high for diabetics. Selma Sims, a farm man- HEALTHY DELIVERY: FoodQ meals are designed to give ager at Gardeneers, a North residents in food deserts like Austin and North Lawndale Lawndale organizations healthier eating options.

Spring brings seeds of healthier West Side West Side Health Authority’s Good Neighbors campaign highlights gardens, healthy eating

By BONNI McKEOWN Contributing Reporter

They were tiny pots with just a little soil and a seed. To brothers Brandon and Breshan Wilkerson, who are coordinating a youth group for the West Side Health Authority’s Good Neighbors initiative, the seeds offer the beginning of positive new things for area young people. Breshan, a ministry student, gave out the pots, soil and seeds at the Good Neighbors’ monthly meeting, held April 9, at 5437 W. Division. He said people plant the seeds (and supply the containers for hold them), but God provides the soil and the miracle of sprouting, new life. “These seeds symbolize change in our community,” Brandon said. “If you plant a seed of love, love will spread throughout our community. The same goes with peace, prosperity, wealth etc. Whatever change we want to see in our community, we are believing that God will provide anything that our hearts desire.” The seeds, as they sprout, will soon find a home. The Good Neighbors’ men’s group, led by William Warren, has cleaned off a messy vacant lot at the intersection of Lorel and Thomas Streets, with plans for a community garden. The men will construct raised garden beds in which they hope to start planting seeds in the next two weeks. The men’s group meets for prayer, a hot breakfast and community activism each Wednesday, 10:30 a.m, at 5852 W. North Ave. New

GROWING HOPE: Ricky Southward, Willie Ferba, and brothers Brandan and Breshan Wilkerson want their community gardens to be the seeds of positive beginnings for area young people. attendees are always welcome, they said. The Good Neighbor program, designed for young people

ages 12 to 24, offers job resources, business opportunities, mentoring, recreation, community service and economic development. Boys and girls, ages 12 to 18, may sign up during their school spring break at the old YMCA , 501 N. Central, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Anyone interested can contact Brandon Wilkerson (312) 599-9311; Breshawn Wilkerson (773) 939-2699; or Jordan Bester (815) 733-0586. Meanwhile, the women’s group holds exercise/ prayer/talk sessions on healthy living. Letina Day said she lowered her cholesterol count by eating five fruits and vegetables a day. She blended some of the fruits and vegetables in a smoothie she drank each morning. “We say that health problems are inherited, but maybe we grew up just learning poor habits, like snacks every day of soda pop and chips,” Day said. “When you make gradual changes, you keep learning and start to prefer healthier foods. Finish up an item in your pantry and replace it with something healthier. Even if organic food costs more, it’s still cheaper than a heart attack.” The women meet each Tuesday and Thursday at 10 a.m., at 5852 W. North Ave. Newcomers are welcome. Jackie Reed, the founder of the Westside Health Authority, launched the Good Neighbors campaign in 2015. The campaign is a collaboration among clergy, citizens and community groups who want to reduce violence and increase economic development opportunities for the West Side.

Davis celebrates Second Chance Act anniversary Government officials outline legislation’s achievements as Act turns 11

By KENDALL POLIDORI

TURNING 11: Community leaders and local lawmakers, including state Rep. La Shawn K. Ford and Congressman Danny K. Davis gather during a press conference in Homan Square earlier this month to mark the 11th anniversary of Davis’s Second Chance Act.

AustinTalks

State prison officials say funding from a major piece of legislation pushed by U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis (7th) has enabled them to help more than 300 people from Austin and six other communities reenter society after being incarcerated. Davis said he hopes to build on that funding provided through the Second Chance Act. “We are celebrating the accomplishments that have been made,” Davis said at a press conference earlier this month held to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the federal legislation being signed into law. “We are also acknowledging that there is a long way to go,” said Davis, who was the law’s chief sponsor. Davis said there are 70 million people in the U.S. with criminal backgrounds who are capable of working but face a number of barriers in finding a job – and those barriers have only grown over the last decade. He noted there are many businesses that will not hire someone will a felony conviction. Illinois was one of six states to receive a Second Chance Act Recidivism Reduction Award. The state also received about $2.5 million over a multi-year period for planning a statewide recidivism reduction strategy. The goal is to create state centers of excellence to serve as national models for how to effectively reduce recidivism. Gladyse Taylor, assistant director of the Illinois Department of Corrections, said data from the department shows about a 10 percent increase in sustainable employment for those impacted by the grant. In all, nearly $1 billion has been allocated through the Second Chance Act over the last 11 years to help communities receiving exoffenders back into society. “Other states have been given more money, so [we] want to make sure the message gets out to our agencies in Illinois, so they are aware of the grants available and what they

AustinTalks

should be doing to qualify,” said state Rep. La Shawn Ford (8th). Ford said he has been working with Congressman Davis to advance legislation in Illinois to reduce barriers still making it hard for ex-cons to reintegrate into society. Taylor said the corrections department will continue to improve training and realigning their programs. An evaluation done of 18 IDOC programs working on recidivism reduction showed which programs are working and which ones are not. She said the goal is to replace or retool

existing programs to ensure there is a continuation of activities for people who are incarcerated. “It’s not easy, it’s not like you can wipe the slate clean and turn around and say, ‘Now we’re deploying evidence-based programs,’” Taylor said. She said it’s important to remember there’s not just one solution. Taylor added that she has spoken with a number of Austin residents who said they have benefited from pre-release and/or post-release services. “When there is an opportunity for

Proud to partner with Austin Talks

communities to make improvements in public safety and to overall produce a positive change, Second Chance is very supportive of those efforts, and I hope the funding from a federal level continues,” Taylor said. Rep. Ford said it is very difficult to get people to support this kind of legislation. That needs to change, he and others say. “People are changing their attitude towards people who have criminal records or have been convicted,” Davis said. “… There is still much more to do.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

Group seeks to reduce Cook County’s jail population Safety and Justice Challenge convening meetings on racial equity and criminal justice

By BONNI McKEOWN Contributing Reporter

The Safety and Justice Challenge wants your opinion on how Cook County can safely reduce its jail population and eliminate racial disparities. During a community meeting held April 18 at Bethel New Life, Rebecca Barbarosa, a project director with the Cook County Chief Judge’s office, said that despite a decrease in Cook County’s jail population from 2015 to 2018, too many people are still jailed for simply missing a court date or not having bail money. On top of that, she said, 90 percent of those jailed are black or Latinx in a county where black and Latinx people make up about half the population. Clifton “Booney” Fowler, who spent 27 years in prison, told those gathered during the meeting that he’s spent the last decade talking to young people on street corners and lobbying the powerful on their behalf. “In the 1970s, I started a street organization in Austin, since we had to fight gangs of

white boys to be able to use Columbus Park,” Fowler said. “I didn’t foresee that our gang would become part of the problem. Now it’s about our grand babies. If enough of us come together, we can make the politicians do what we want. The legislature passed laws to ban the box on city and state job applications, stop them from asking questions about your criminal record.” During the meeting, some skeptical participants interrupted designated speakers with pointed questions: Will talk really help, they asked, when problems have persisted for years despite citizen participation and protest? Why do people sell each other out? Why do the decisions that governments make seem to overrule what the majority of West and South Side residents want and need? If we can’t expect politicians to bring about justice, what can we do ourselves? Some facilitators with the Safety and Justice Challenge — which is funded by a grant from the MacArthur Foundation — told attendees about the recent progress that has been made in the area of criminal

Get involved The Safety and Justice Challenge is holding another meeting in North Lawndale on April 30, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at UCAN, 3605 W. Fillmore. Five weekly intensive small-group discussions on racial equity in criminal justice are to follow, capped by an action-planning meeting in July. The results will be presented to political officials and the public. Anyone with experience or ideas about the criminal justice system is welcome in justice reform. For instance, the county is implementing automated court reminders. Detainees and families can sign up, using their court case number, to get text or phone reminders of their court date. The county is also working on requiring courts to quickly set affordable bail unless

the five-week discussions, including crime victims, those who have been in jail, community residents and those who work in the system. Discussions will be conducted by Marshawn Feltus, the Austin community liaison for the Safety and Justice Challenge, and Kim Davis-Ambrose, the challenge’s community engagement coordinator. To sign up with Davis-Ambrose by May 7, call (312) 603-1139 or email SJCCommunityinfo@cookcountyil.gov.

The goal is to reduce nonviolent detainees’ stays in jail. So far, eight of the 10 people released pretrial have met every court date and only 1 percent of those bailed out have committed a violent crime. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

Community input needed for confronting mental health West Side Community Triage and Wellness Center hosting forums to share resources, craft new solutions

Get involved

By BONNI McKEOWN Editor

The West Side Community Triage and Wellness Center center, located at 4133 W. Madison Ave., has been holding a series of forums this month to help mitigate violence and trauma on the West Side. Formed as a strategic partnership between Habilitative Systems, Inc., Bobby E. Wright Comprehensive Mental Health Center, and the Cook County Health and Hospital System, the center places an emphasis on wellness — not just addressing illness. During the recent forums, officials with the center gave residents an overview of the many mental health services that are available on the West Side. The center itself accepts walk-ins and call-ins 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A staff headed by Joyce Springfield, a licensed clinical supervisor, helps clients assess their needs and refers them to services that include mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job and housing referrals. Case managers follow up with clients and family members. The triage center can also intervene when people are experiencing cri-

During a forum on April 17, Donald Dew, Habilitative’s executive director, said that he wants the triage center “be a family support system for the West Side. In case of domestic disturbance, people can call us instead of calling police.” Dr. Rashad Saafir, Bobby E. Wright’s executive director, told those gathered at the forum that he hopes the center is the place that stops the revolving door to Cook County Jail. “Jail is the last place people with mental health and substance abuse issues should be,” he said. “They need to be in treatment.” Rebecca Barboza, of the Safety & Justice Challenge Initiative — a campaign support-

ed by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation that is designed to reduce the country’s jail population — said that the initiative has some solutions of its own. Those solutions include an automated court reminder text and phone messaging system to remind people of their court dates so they won’t be re-arrested and strategies to help police divert people from incarceration, among others. Other mental health providers offered information at the April 17 forum. Rush medical system hosts training in mental health first aid and Lurie Children’s Hospital is investigating statistics on deaths from drug overdoses. Deborah Williams, Habilitative’s community outreach coordinator, said that she’s

The next community forum at the center (4133 W. Madison) will be on April 25, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The last forum, also held at the center, will be on May 14, 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The Triage and Wellness Center is also hosting a Second Chance Resource Fair — with information on housing, shelter, food, jobs and health for returning prisoners — on April 30, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., in collaboration with Congressman Danny K. Davis. For more information about the forums, contact Deborah Williams at (312) 576-1085 or Milton Johnson at (773) 417-8848. If you or someone you know in the area have a mental health crisis or need for treatment, call the center’s office (773) 745-2620 or the mobile help line at (833) 413-HELP (4357).

accepting anyone’s ideas on how the Triage and Wellness Center can help improve mental health on the West Side. The forums, organizers said, are all designed to guide action on addressing mental health on the West Side. “Whatever comes out of here [during the forums] is what’s going to happen,” said Milton Johnson, Bobby E. Wright’s community outreach director. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com
