Weed Dispensary Won’t Get Alderman’s Support

participation into a billion-dollar, predominately white industry.

Some younger neighbors were receptive to the idea, and Burnett initially said he wanted to see a Black-owned dispensary in the area, noting there are very few of them in the city. Older neighbors questioned the appropriateness of such a business in an area already harmed by the War on Drugs.

A controversial proposal to convert Wallace’s Catfish Corner into a cannabis dispensary will not get 27th Ward Ald. Walter Burnett’s support, but the owner is vowing to push forward despite negative feedback from some neighbors.

Attorney Robert Walker held a second meeting Friday evening to discuss plans to convert the closed Wallace’s at 2800 W. Madison St. into the HAY Illinois Adult Use Cannabis Dispensary.

Walker, representing HAAAYY Group, previously presented his plans during a contentious community meeting in June.

Walker said the project, which needs approval from the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals, could help revitalize a Garfield Park corner and bring more minority

Neighbors repeated some of those arguments Friday at the community meeting at 171 N. Aberdeen St. in the West Loop.

Older residents representing local block clubs said they worry a dispensary will increase crime and drug problems in the area. Many also opposed a dispensary on moral grounds, as Garfield Park has large church communities.

“It will rob the soul of my community,” Pastor Cy Fields of the New Landmark Baptist Church said.

Others complained the dispensary, which would be near Marshall Metro High School, could influence students and is a poor use of space compared to

At 100 years, Austin manufacturer rebuilds ties

H&K Perforating, a metal fabricator, wants to hire West Siders

By IGOR STUDENKOV Staff Reporter

A hundred years ago, the Harrington & King Perforating new factory the southwest corner of near what the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad

The company somewhat tant niche –holes into sheets of perforating erything from store shelves to mi crowave ov

The factory opened in 1924, and it has remined St. ever sinc

It almost didn investors ruptcy, in plants and nia. Now known as rforating panies, the new owners set out to better engage Austin and other near – something Andrew Strand the company president, said is slowly bearing fruit.

The manufacturer is located in the Roosevelt/Cicero Industrial Corridor – an industria area that stretches along the south side of the Eisenhowe Expressway and is clustered around rail lines in Austin and North Lawndale, along or near Roosevelt Road and Cicero Av enue. Unlike many Chicag manufacturing districts, it isn’t a Planned Manufacturin District – a designation tha comes with stronger zoning protections against non-industrial use

Strand said his company stayed for the same reason many other businesses in the

corridor stay, and why it still occasionally gets some newcomers – the proximity to the expressway. Over the decades, Harrington & King built up a good reputation, which was just one of the many reasons the investors decided to buy its assets.

“[There are] truly not that many companies in the country that do what we do, as far as perforating is concerned,” Strand said. “There was real value in the stickiness of the ooks, that the skill oth the ide and engineering ide, and elations with ested in lant, fixing the walacing the boiler, which, factory workers it, when you went in, the facommunity has “ebbed and flowed.’ He said that H&K was conscious of the fact that Austin has a higher

In the last eight months, they have been ramping up the outreach.

“Within the Austin neighborhood, we’re really trying to grow the number of employees from the area,” Strand said. “You’ll see our company on park benches, bus shelters.”

He said that H&K joined the Lawndale Business Renaissance Association, they worked with area churches and have been talking “pretty regularly” with Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th), whose ward includes most of the Austin portion of the Roosevelt/Cicero corridor.

Strand said anyone interested in applying for a job at the Austin plant should reach out to Erica Dyes, the company’s human resources manager. He said that if the careers page doesn’t have any jobs that fit their skillset, they should reach out anyway, since there is always a lag between when positions become vacant and when the job openings get posted

“Two of our most recent employees [who] are from surrounding areas, are from Austin,” Strand said. “I like to think we’re making the impact.”

In recent years, manufacturers throughout the Chicago area, including some West Side based manufacturers, raised alarm about the fact that their workforce is aging, and they struggle to find younger replacements. Strand said, “we have a lot of experienced work-

ers in our plant, and that means that they’re older, and there’s a lot of knowledge and skill.”

He said they are reaching out to local trade schools and they’ve been working with Chicago Public Schools’ Safe Haven program, where faith-based organizations and nonprofits throughout Chicago provide afterschool “academic and recreational activities.” The program includes a long list of West Side churches

“What we’re trying to do is branch out programming a little bit, and we’re trying to offer on–the-job training to get high school credit,” Strand said.

He said there are two things that ensured that the company lasted so long and continues to grow under the newest owners – the skills and experience they bring to the table and their relationships with customers.

“We are the largest independently held perforating company in the country, and we take a lot of pride in that,” he said. “We take a partner-focused approach with our customers. That really defines who we are in the perforating world.”

To mark the upcoming anniversary, H&K is holding a back-to-school festival in front of the plant on Aug. 18 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The festival will include school supply giveaways, and a performance by Jesse White Tumblers. This, too, is part of giving back to the community

“This back-to-school event marks not only the start of a new academic year but also a wonderful opportunity for us to give back to the community that has supported us throughout the years,” he said.

Loretto Hospital workers reach tentative contract

After 11-day strike, workers tout wage hikes

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

Frontline healthcare workers at Loretto Hospital reached a tentative ag reement with Loretto’s management after an 11-day strike at the West Side safety-net hospital. The tentative ag reement addresses several of the 200 unionized workers’ demands, including better wages and a Juneteenth paid holiday, SEIU Healthcare Illinois said in a statement.

A vote by union members on the contract is still to come.

“This contract isn’t just a win for us –this is a win for all of Austin,” said Carla Haskins, a Loretto patient care tech.

The tentative agreement includes several wages increases that could reduce understaffing and turnover at the Central Avenue hospital. Hospital workers have decried long hours and safety risks due to the hospital’s reported 25 to 35% vacancy rates in some departments and a 60% tur nover rate

Negotiated wage increases include a raise in minimum wages for all titles,

across the board wage increases and wage increases based on seniority, SEIU Healthcare Illinois said in a statement.

Before workers hit the picket line, Loretto management refused to increase first-year wages and of fered annual raises of about 2 to 3% across the board, below inflation, union reps said.

“Today’s hard fought victory is a testament to the collective power of working people to uplift entire communities. Frontline Loretto Hospital workers refused to settle for poor care and unsafe staffing, because the Austin community deserves better,” said Greg Kelley, SEIU president. “This contract is a win for the entire West Side of Chicago.”

The announcement comes after 200 workers – went on strike July 31. Since then, other labor movements, including the Chicago Teachers Union, community leaders and a plethora of elected officials supported the workers.

Three days ago, Cong. Danny Davis (7th) urged both parties to come back to the table and resolve their disag reements.

eyain’t trying to work

Ihad the misfortune of breaking my car windshield last week. Thankfully a glass re pair company is not far from my house and I was able to drive over to get it re placed. The company was able to take the city sticker of the broken windshield and put it on to the new windshield. But what they didn’t do was to transfer the two little sticky pieces that held my iPass up in the window.

JONES

After driving around for a day with the I-Pass rolling around on the dashboard, I decided to go to the Illinois Tollway headquarters out in Downers Grove. There were about a dozen cubicle stations of customer service agents and I’d say there were at least six employees working. Well, working might be an incor rect verb to use to describe their actions. There were six occupants present, but they were not trying to work I took a number and sat down. And since I had nothing else to do, I decided to pay attention. And as those employees sat there at their computers attempting to look busy, I could tell that they really weren’ t doing anything. Especially the one woman who did nothing but play with her hair. I wanted to throw a hair tie at her and shout “pin it up.” They were wasting minutes hoping to service as few customers as possible.

With that in mind, I recall the announcement where the Secretary of State now is professing that people will soon have to make appointments to go to those offices. On the one hand, it sounds great. But then

the reality sets in. Why? What it is really going to do is limit the number of people that are serviced on a daily basis. Now the workers at the driver’s facility won’t have slow days or fast days but they’ll have consistent days. And I’m trying to imagine exactly why/ how is that benefiting the driving public? Because the Secretary of State’s of fice will be able to limit each employee ‘s work schedule to only servicing X number of people per day. And with the good money they make working for the Secretary of State, those employees need to be able to process as many people as possible in a day as opposed to limiting the number that they can process to a certain amount based on the schedule system.

At the same time, drivers will now have to schedule themselves to go there. Most of us do. But it’s kind of like, “I got free time so I’m going to run over.” Or you happen to drive past a facility and remember you need your plate sticker. Now if you don’t have a preset appointment, will you not be able to get in? And anybody looking at the cheapness of that $150 plate sticker that just had the number 23 on it for this year knows the state is not spending big money on the plate stickers but using the money to do we don’t know what.

Time will tell if the appointment system will be a success or a bust. But after my experience with the lazy and trifling tollway workers, I hope for the for mer for the driver license workers, but I know it will be the latter.

other community needs. Such as a grocery store or a bank.

Jule Johnson, a 21-year-old West Sider, said older neighbors were basing their fears off of longstanding propaganda and religious preference.

“They grew up in an era where [cannabis] was seen as dangerous and evil. Even the name marijuana is based in racism and not a lot of people know that,” Johnson said. “It would be smart to have it in the community.”

Burnett later said he would not support the dispensary at that location based on community feedback from both meetings.

“I’m doing what the community wants, [and] it seems they do not want it,” Burnett said.

But Walker said he will still move forward

ticipate in this emerging billion dollar industry,” Walker said in a statement.

Davis has opposed ef for ts to convert the restaurant into a dispensary.

“I take this as a personal insult to me, and I won’t stand for you bringing this to our community,” Davis told Walker at the meeting.

However, Burnett said he would support opening a dispensary in another area of Garfield Park, saying that he hasn’t seen people harmed by le gal weed in other neighborhoods. The West Loop, for example, is home to Dispensary33 and Nature’s Care West Loop, both in Bur nett’s ward.

Dispensaries in Black neighborhoods on the West Side are scarce.

The closest existing dispensary to the Garfield Park proposal is Zen Leaf ’s shop at Ogden and Western avenues on the Near West Side.

Oak Park faith communities o er ser vices to Austin-based migrants

Two days a week, South American asylum-seekers arrive at church for showers, case management ser vices

By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter

Early this past Tuesday, Miranda waited in line, again, one of many she’s stood in with her eight-year-old son for the past six weeks.

Exhausted from living at the Austin police station, the Venezuelan asylum-seeker was seeking some relief at St. Catherine-St. Lucy Church in Oak Park

It was the church’s “shower day,” a day when folks can get not only showers, but other services as well. On this day, Miranda was seeking benefits for medical services. These “showers days,” she said, help her feel better Miranda was one of mor than two-dozen South American asylum-seekers from the Austi police station on West Madison Street who benefit from the Catholic church’s shower days.

On Tuesdays and Thursday folks can come to the rectory St. Catherine-St. Lucy Church where local, multi-faith volunteers have been providing ser vice to asylum seekers in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood during the past few weeks.

“These folks showed up in our doorstep literally three blocks away at district 15th police station and there was a need,” said Th Reverend Carl Morello, pastor of St. Catherine-St. Lucy

“People in the community stepped up to respond and I’m happy that we were able to have a place to help fulfill this particular need,” he added.

One of them is Police Station Response Team volunteer Celine Wo znica, an Oak Park resident.

Standing at the church’s rectory, she wore

a t-shirt that read “nagvocate” while she speaks to asylum-seekers in Spanish and helps volunteers organize clothes, serve food or manage other tasks

Being a “nagvocate,” she said, is the perfect way describes her ef for ts to help asylum-seekers -- a combination of “nagging” and “advocating.”

She be gan by coordinating access to showers, recreational and laundry facilities at Build Chicago. But as the Austin-based nonprofit reduced the hours it could welcome asylum-seekers, the Oak Park church became a new safe haven for children, families and individuals fleeing their homes.

“Everybody finds their little niche,” Woznica said, adding that each day, roughly eight to nine volunteers take on activities like sorting and collecting donations, bringing food, setting up tables, serving breakfast, answering questions or assisting migrants based on their abilities and desires.

A typical day often looks like this one.

faith communities serve breakfast amid the sounds of chattering Spanish and English. Families and individuals come in and out of the room sporting clean clothes and, in many cases, wet manes. At the end of the room, two doorways lead to rooms with full bathrooms designated for either men or women. Tables display an array clothes for men, women and children including underwear, socks, t-shirts, pants and shoes, all donated and categorized by some volunteers. Families have their own space next door to shower and change.

Food is donated by volunteers, ho have learned Venezuelans are “healthy eaters.” Ellen Gorney, a volunteer, said fresh fruit, toast, butter, milk and juice are popular, and so are ham, cheese and turkey to make sandwiches

by Customs and Border Protection at the southern border of the U.S. and have court dates to attend in the next 12 to 18 months. Some are yet to file for asylum before the federal immigration authority, a process he recommends is assisted by a certified immigration attorney, though he reco gnizes many local attorneys are beyond capacity because of the influx of asylum-seekers in Chicago. Pilarte, a Nicaraguan migrant himself, said most asylum-seekers he serves are concerned about housing and employment. They also need health services

“I wish I could hear their stories and lear n their hopes,” Morello said. “Who helps them find housing? What about jobs? They want to work.”

On a single day, he helps about 10 people apply for medical and economic benefits. He also their cases in a shared service pro vider network known as the Illinois Coalition for Immigration and Refugee Rights

“There is always one volunteer who plays with children,” Woznica said, standing next to a table where two middle-aged children played with games and a volunteer played with a toddler. In the same room, three to four volunteers from different Oak Park

To further assist migrants, olunteers have brought on-site ase management services. At the rectory a number of asylum-seekers line up, waiting to see a case manager from Scalabrini Immigrant and Refugee Services, a Melrose Park-based nonprofit that helps immigrants and refugees

Enrique Pilarte, a case manager for Scalabrini, handles the documents and benefits asylum-seekers may be entitled to. In most cases, he said, these folks were processed

“The needs are greater than the resources,” Morello said, adding that while it felt “natural” to repurpose the vacant rectory building to help those in need, this effort is not short of challenges.

As for Miranda, she said she wishes she could leave the police department. But she stays, she said, because of her son.

“He wants to study,” she said in Spanish. She hoped to enroll him in school.

For now, she’ll return to the station and to the church

“For us it’s a family,” she added. “I appreciate her, Celine.”

MAPPED Powerful archives

from page 1

edit, fact-check, categorize and review project information submitted by the public to the Mapped platform as part of their summer inter nship with One Summer Chicago.

T heir role is not only to review more than 50 submissions of places of interest in North Lawndale, but also to add places and stories of historical significance.

“I’ve been focusing on the Black Panther Party projects, so that’s about seven entries,” Brown said. Earlier this summer, collaborating organizations hosted a “Mapathon,” an event where Black Panther Party members and community members shared oral and written memories about the Black Panther Party presence on the West Side. Brown digitized and collected their stories to upload them to the map platform, a form of archiving community stories similar to art archiving.

“I learned so much about what community and care really means and what it has meant to the residents and people of North Lawndale since the 60s,” Brown said.

“Just thinking about how powerful memory is because all these places that I’ve been archiving no longer exist,” they added. “It’s

impressive these older individuals can reall them regardless of all the external factors in the world and all the things that are rying to erase memory.”

Brown said she is glad they can apply her assion for art and storytelling, but also bring their interests and passion for music and art. They are an art history and African studies graduate and an avid music listener, here jazz artist Sun Ra ranks top of her list. In the past, they participated in internships at the Art Institute of Chicago where they led community relations and event lanning, among other tasks.

“Not only are they completing the work in an awesome way, they’re adding to it and bringing their own story,” Emma Jasinski, ommunity designer for Design Trust Chicago said about Brown. She said Brown has also explored how art and music can be used as tools to create new frameworks for the Mapped platform.

hanks to a partnership with Free Spirit Media, a local media arts nonprofit that trains young creators, Brown will keep collaborating with Design Trust Chicago as a fellow until roughly the end of this month. Then, they will return to Oberlin College in

Ohio to complete a few college courses that could count towards a graduate degree, possibly in London.

“If it wasn’t for Free Spirit Media and One Summer Chicago, this wouldn’t be possible,” Jasinski said. “We were interested in pursuing an internship and as a young and emerging organization, we didn’t have the capacity to do it.”

To end their inter nship, Brown will finish planning two events. One will invite other editors of the Mapped platform to share their perspectives and experience to improve the Mapped platform. The other one will be a music-themed “Mapathon” where community members can archive significant music venues throughout Chicago, a city with a rich history in genres like jazz, blues and house

At the end of this experience, Brown will carry an important lesson for their promising career in the arts and the use of oral archives as a powerful tool.

“Looking for people to tell their own stories in the way they want to tell them is really important,” they said. “Though I am archiving and editing, I still try to keep it as exact as they said.”
