St. Angela’s opens space for students
‘All people…’ Amara Enyia, a West Side policy consultant and head of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, officially kicked off her campaign for mayor on Aug. 28 at Co-Prosperity Sphere in Bridgeport. Enyia framed her candidacy as the progressive, grassroots alternative to Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s neoliberal governing philosophy.
Austin school is now available as student activity space By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Last summer, the site of St. Angela Parish — the Catholic church in Austin that closed in 2005, leaving behind generations of alumni, many of whom live in Oak Park — looked more like Dresden at the end of World War II. The Archdiocese of Chicago had decided to demolish the building in order to allow more space for St. Angela School, which still exists. A year later, what was once a field of rubble has been transformed into a lush green expanse fertile with possibility. During interviews on the new grounds last week, school officials said that, so far, community members, students, parents and employees of the school have been impressed with the transformation. “It’s an unbelievable space,” said Kurt Wittenberg, St. Angela’s principal. “It’s the only green space in this whole area, and I think the kids enjoy it.” Lynn Frederick, St. Angela’s director of advancement, said a lot of the student activity in the new space will be determined by the needs of teachers. On the day she was interviewed, Frederick said she was due to meet with faculty “about their involvement in administering the space, so they’ll decide its best use.” There are a lot of possibilities for the empty space, which appears to be roughly the size of See ST. ANGELA’S on page 6

West Sider launches mayoral campaign Amara Enyia, head of Austin’s chamber, announces second bid for seat
By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Standing before a roomful of dozens of supporters, Amara Enyia, the executive director of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, formally announced her candidacy for mayor — becoming the 11th challenger looking to take two-term incumbent Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s fifth-floor seat in City Hall. Enyia, who lives in West Garfield Park, made the announcement on Aug. 28 at CoProsperity Sphere in Bridgeport. In her introductory remarks, Enyia,
whose parents emigrated from Nigeria, linked her grassroots candidacy to her family’s long history of political activism in continental Africa, and with the social struggles fought by people like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The 35-year-old policy consultant had been aggressively hinting at the prospect of getting into the race for weeks leading up to Tuesday’s official announcement. Each Wednesday since the start of August, Enyia — an avid runner — has been hosting a series of evening runs across the city. During her roughly 30-minute campaign
speech — in which she introduced herself in multiple languages and lead the audience in a chant (“All people, all voices, one city!”) — Enyia presented perhaps the starkest political contrast yet to Emanuel’s technocratic approach to governing. “It’s time for a new vision for Chicago,” Enyia said, before describing the policies of the Emanuel administration as being steeped in “neoliberal philosophy.” The term neoliberal, Enyia said, simply means the prioritization of the interests of

Aretha Franklin — the undisputed
erebral. Spiritual. Surreal. Rapturous. It was all that. It happened more than 25 years ago, and I am still at a loss to fully understand it — to comprehend it in all its majesty. I’m still slightly uncertain I had such a magical experience; was it my imagination? One more time, in Aretha Franklin’s honor, I will struggle to describe it. Before she even stepped foot on the stage, the atmosphere was ethereal. On a warm, breezy, beautiful Chicago night, on a pier off a serene, well-behaved Lake Michigan, a huge throng of fans, smoldering with anticipation, could be heard murmuring reverently. I hope she sings all her hits, the old and the new. Her stuff is timeless; the material just never gets old. She does something to you — she just gets inside your soul. I’ve never heard anybody like her. There in Chicago, where a popular local DJ, with discerning judgment, had jaunted across the Regal Theatre stage and placed a bejeweled crown on her royal head “way back in ‘67” (some accounts list the year as 1964, however, WVON, the station Pervis Spann, the DJ who crowned Aretha, worked for cited the year as 1967 in a tweet) the night air was electric. There was something sentient about the moment. As I stood there with my mom, an Alabama Belle raised on “down home” southern gospel, I could easily grasp that this night would travel with me across the coming decades. Although time has frayed some of the details and fragmented some of the experience, the Queen gave us something we could feel, and I have never forgotten the awe of it all. In a moment of mindfulness, I was able to focus intently on my thoughts as they skittered across consciousness. It was an inquisition: What made Aretha stand apart from so many other greats, many of whom I had seen give spine-tingling performances? Before I could work it out, the band cued up; and before I could catch my breath, the Queen appeared, and something about her mien made it clear that she was moving in the Spirit. We stood enraptured as she, in fact, played the old and the new. She extracted perfection out of every note in every song — Respect, Think, Until You Come Back To Me, Jump To It, Angel, Daydreaming, Call Me, Oh Me Oh My, Ain’t No Way, Dr. Feelgood, Rock Steady, Since You Been Gone, I Say A Little Prayer; the lushness of I’m in Love engulfed us in pure joy...Aretha was on fire. We were witnessing perfection. The vocals, the range, the phrasing, the arrangements, the flow, the cries, the focus, the feeling, the control, the power, the storytelling, the drama, the teasing, the sweet little nothings she laid on us — it was a revelation. By the time she finished telling us about how she Never Loved A Man, I was ready to join the search party I felt certain would sally forth from the pier to find the scoundrel about whom she wailed. This man must be made to account for his treatment of our girl. As for the vocal surprises thrown in here and the vocal purity, especially at a time when we designated some people “studio singers,” well… it was clear her performance was sanctified. It was so indescribably magnificent, it had to be godly. Her backup singers were on time every time, an in sync wonder, and her small band — pulsating and dynamic — was flawless. At one point, I just stepped back and marveled at her brilliant ability to convey love, beauty, joy, hurt, and pain. It was thrilling, magical, and mind-blowing as her voice swept over and searched our souls dispensing therapy and healing.
Wikipedia
And just when I thought we had reached Nirvana, she sang Chain of Fools. The Queen was unconscious as she rebuked this man…and we were on her side. We were riding with her, but then… You told me to leave you alone, My father said come on home. She threw her head back and cried out: My doctor saaaid take it easy— Then she stopped—it was dramatic; we were transfixed. You could hear a pin drop; there was absolutely no sound. We watched in suspense as she slowly pulled her head back forward, narrowed her eyes, dropped her voice, and admitted, Oh, but your loving is much too strong; I’m adding to your Chain, Chain, Chain, the backup singers broke back in… The crowd exploded. She destroyed us. My mother and I just looked at each other. Is this lady real? But we had nowhere to go, she had us captured, she wouldn’t let us think this thing through. She wasn’t through. Next thing I know, she’s singing Natural Woman. You could have scraped me up off the ground it was so exquisite: “Before the day I met you...” Finally, the showpiece: Ohhhhh, baby what you done to me. You make me feel so good inside. Snatched by the power of love, I couldn’t turn away from Lady Soul. When I finally forced myself to look around, I saw people crying, hugging, heaving, shaking, pulling hair from their heads, falling to the ground… I had never seen anything like it at a concert. Are we in ecstasy? Now, I thought, “it just doesn’t get any better than this,” but her majesty perched before the piano and played her gorgeous rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Waters. “ I will lay you down…” and Amazing Grace – I think she finished it a cappella. I just slapped my hand over my forehead and cried. And, like everybody else, I spun off into my own
world. Now, it was just me, Aretha, and the myriad thoughts and the range of emotions she evoked that night. She simply banished everybody else from consciousness. Aretha. The energy she brought — it was intellectual, visceral, mystical, electric, metaphysical and therapeutic and it just rambled through my soul. What you want, baby I got it. The Queen of Soul conducted us through all kinds of complex emotions, explored the human condition, expressed our humanity, and addressed some of our profound intrinsic needs, like respect, dignity, self-worth, acknowledgment, love, freedom, grace, peace of mind, friendship, and our need for each other. And just for kicks, she toyed with phrasing, knowing she could sing notes any way she wanted to, thereby settling any argument anybody from anywhere may have ever had concerning who is the Queen of Soul. She practically questioned our sanity for even debating it. The material never gets old because Aretha sang about some of the eternal conflicts between intellect and emotion, the duel between the psychological and the physical; she sang the book of life and she was a genius and a force of nature. If you saw her on a night when she was really feeling it, then you know that is indisputable. Aretha Franklin was a gift from God. That night, all those years ago, on a special summer night in Chicago, she pried open the heavens and let us glimpse The Promised Land. By the time she left the stage, there was no pain, just wonder. The lodestar left us reflective, happy, and, although we should have been satisfied, respectfully, begging for more. And now she has ascended—we have to let her go. She has gone to get her eternal crown. And so it shall be. And, Queen, I am glad I got to share the earth for a time with you.

SHE’S RUNNING ... LITERALLY: Mayoral candidate Amara Enyia had been running with community members and holding public discussions across the city in the months and weeks ahead of her formal announcement last week. Above, she’s in a cafe in Back of the Yards.

Second time’s the charm? from page 1 bankers and deep-pocketed investors over the interests of people. Neoliberalism, Enyia said, offering her own pared down definition of the term, means the mayor prioritizing “half-baked, big projects while potholes abound in the neighborhoods.” Enyia decried what she said is the Emanuel administration’s standardized approach to policy-making — it emphasizes the privatization of assets and services, regressive taxation, police state strategies and public corruption. “Here in Chicago we are some of the hardest working people on the planet and yet we still fight to keep neighborhood schools in place,” Enyia said. “We work hard only to pay higher and more abusive taxes, fees and fines as services diminish and infrastructure crumbles around us.” In particular, Enyia lambasted the $95 million public safety training facility proposed for West Garfield Park and the plan to issue upwards of $10 billion in bonds in order to stave off another round of tax increases — both ideas pushed by Mayor Emanuel. She also blasted what she said was City Hall’s indifference to the city’s massive population loss, particularly the steady exit of its black residents. “If we value all of our communities as our city claims, then we will not turn a blind eye to an entire community lost — 250,000 black residents lost in 15 years,” Enyia said. “The silence of this administration bespeaks the moral bankruptcy of its policies.” Enyia proposed the creation of a public
Other contenders From the Chicago Tribune: “Enyia joins a field including former Police Board president and onetime federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, former Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, millionaire businessman Willie Wilson, activist Ja’Mal Green, Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown, Chicago principals association President Troy LaRaviere, tech entrepreneur Neal Sales-Griffin, attorney John Kozlar and pharmaceutical technician and DePaul student Matthew Roney.” bank for the city, which, according to her campaign website could “generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the city, eliminate hundreds of millions of dollars in interest rate costs and fees currently paid to private banks, reduce corruption, and guarantee more responsible use of funds to promote economic growth.” She also touted the need for a local economy based on shared ownership and proposed to make Chicago “the number one city in the country in the advancement of cooperative economic models, worker-owned cooperatives, community land trusts, housing cooperatives” and other independently owned and operated enterprises. This is Enyia’s second mayoral bid. She also ran in 2015 before dropping out of the race and throwing her support behind former Ald. Bob Fioretti. Although she may not have as much city-wide name recognition as some of the more popular candidates, Enyia is the most prominent West Side figure to enter the field so far.

ST. ANGELA’S More space from page 1 a football field and is at least four times the amount of activity space that the school’s (100-plus) students had at their disposal before the church was demolished. “There were hurdles with the demolition, so many things took longer than we anticipated, and we didn’t get a break with the weather,” Frederick said. “But we’re really happy with the [new] space.” The portion of the campus spanning Menard Avenue is a grassy expanse that features a memorial brick garden. During the renovation process, members of the St. Angela community were given the opportunity to purchase tribute bricks — small ones went for $125 while large ones cost $250. In all, around 169 bricks were sold, said Frederick, who laid all of them herself. On another side of the grass, the school plans to dedicate a garden to St. Angela’s president, Sr. Maryellen Callahan, replete with a flagstone patio and a bird bath. “This will be a quieter space,” she said. “We’re calling it Sr. Maryellen Callahan’s Garden. It will be a place for kids
to read and concentrate.” In addition to quiet contemplation, the expanse will also be utilized for a range of physical activities. One portion of the space, Frederick said, will be turned into a physical fitness area for older students while another will be dedicated to sports like soccer and baseball. There’s still work to do, she said, despite having spent around $135,000 on the renovation, which doesn’t include the more than $700,000 cost of demolishing the parish. The latter was paid for by the Archdiocese. A mural is planned for a large, gray slab of exposed wall that bears the scars of having been separated from its longtime annex, that formerly connected the church to the school. School officials are still thinking about plans for part of the space that spans Potomac Avenue and is adjacent to the slice of playground space that students were relegated to before the demolition. Recently, the city of Chicago donated wood chips to go in the space. Frederick said school officials are contemplating installing colorful sail shades over part of the playground space in order to break up the school building’s stone monotony. The possibilities, like the sea, seem infinite. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynewsk.com

Lack of leadership underlies all our problems
B
y the time this column is published, Labor Day will have come and gone. It is heralded as the unofficial end of summer. As I write this column on the Friday before the long weekend, I have no idea what the death toll will be over the next three days. Sadly, based on prior days, there will be killings. No one is safe. From babies to old people, the senseless violence has cut short the life of many. The attempts to quell the violence have been amateurish. Shutting down roadways in protest has not been effective, other than to put the people who organize such actions in the spotlight. If they want to take a truly effective stance, surround City Hall. Shut that down. I guarantee, they will get some results! I know I would gladly join in! At the same time, our elected officials, or those who wish to be elected, have been some of the quietest on the issue of violence. Why? Because dealing truthfully with the violence might cause voters to not be blinded by glitz. Voters might get an honest perspective and decide certain people are not ready for the roles they profess they can take on. Where is the young leadership? The old guard’s actions, or lack thereof, has gotten us into the mess we’re in. It is gonna take a new viewpoint and a new voice to get us out. Changing the subject, but still in the same vein, there has been a video that has been making the rounds on social
media. In it, three very young children (later identified as an 18-month-old, 2- and 3-year-old) are seen smoking what appears to be a blunt. In the background, the women who are either the mothers or guardians of the children, can be heard laughing and encouraging them on. The video was one of the sickest things I have seen in a very long time. Thankfully, others felt as I did. The two women have been identified as Michaela Pearson, 21, and Candice Little, 18. Now that they have been identified, what do you think is the major concern? Is the emphasis on social media that they gave the children’s drugs? Or that they stupidly recorded what they were doing and put it on social media? Sadly the bigger concern on social media is that the two are facing charges that might have them spending 45 years in prison! Leadership can make a difference. It is needed now more than ever before. The question is, who will step up and be the person in that role?
On Friday, Sept. 7, 6 p.m., at Clark Park, 4615 W. Jackson Blvd., a variety of community stakeholders will host Light in the Night events as part of a campaign to reduce senseless violence. Free food and games. For more info, contact (773) 287-5821.

Alderman takes issue with housing equity program Galewood Ald. Sposato says program’s governing commission ‘reinventing the wheel’ By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
A Galewood alderman recently critiqued members of the Northwest Side Home Equity Assurance Program’s governing commission after they rejected two attempts by homeowners to get money for homes that decreased in value. The Northwest Home Equity Assurance Program is one of the three programs that were implemented in the late 1980s throughout then-majority-white Chicago neighborhoods, including Galewood. The idea was to stop white flight by addressing one of its root causes — the fear that increased minority population would bring down property values. The program uses a special tax levy to create a fund so that homeowners can cover their losses if they want to sell their homes and the property values have dropped. But anyone who wants to file the claim has to follow state law and commission rules, and the commission has the ultimate say over whether the home owners get the money. During their Aug. 30 meeting, commission members rejected one claim outright and tabled the other. In the former case, the commission determined that the homeowners didn’t follow the law, while in the latter case, they wanted more time to figure out whether the proper steps were followed. The commissioners agreed that, while they would have liked to help the claimants, they were going to take the laws and regulations as they’re written seriously. Like other home equity assurance programs, Northwest adds an extra charge to the property tax bills of all property
owners within its home equity district, which spans much of the Northwest Side and the Galewood portion of the bungalow belt. Those funds are then used to pay the property owners the difference between how much the property was initially appraised for and how much it was sold for. The program, however, doesn’t apply to every property owner. To qualify, a property owner must live on the home for at least five years and they must pay a $150 fee to cover the appraisal. Prior to its July 16 meeting, the Northwest’s governing commission was in limbo as commissioners resigned last year and it took months to appoint replacements. In the meantime, two claims came before the board. During the July 16 meeting, the commission decided to table both until the Aug. 30 meeting. As part of the claims approval process, the homeowners need to first try to sell their homes for the value approved by an appraiser contracted by program. They can’t reduce the price for 90 days, and the reduction must be cleared by the commission. The idea was to ensure that the homeowners don’t abuse the process by deliberately selling at the lowest price possible. With the first claim, the commission didn’t have any paperwork on file to show that the claimant followed all of the steps. Bruce Washington, the program’s acting director, blamed it on the chaos of the recent months. Considering the circumstances, he urged the board to approve the claim in this particular case, since he felt that it was only fair. “I would recommend that we waive whatever requirement you’re speaking to, so these people not be punished and lose money,” Washington said. After a prolonged discussion, the commissioners decided to ask the claimant if they had any e-mails or any other paperwork on file that might help clear up the issue. Commissioner Michael Saladino, who noted during the meeting that he himself once tried to file the claims and was told in

no uncertain terms that he had to follow the steps, argued that if the claimant didn’t have any paperwork, the commission would have no choice but to reject it. Otherwise, it would open the door for other people to try to game the system. “If it’s something that [the commission] screwed up before, I’m just following letter of law,” Saladino said. The second case was less ambiguous. Evidence showed that the claimant reduced the price from the appraised value of $357,000 to $299,000 within a few days without bothering to check with the commission. The commissioners voted unanimously to reject the claim. The commissioners readily agreed that, while every claimant was given a copy of the relevant state law and board policies, the legal language it was written in wasn’t exactly clear-cut. Having something explaining the requirements in layman’s terms would be fairer, commissioner members said, and they agreed to put something together for any homeowners who may want to file claims in the future. Ald. Nicholas Sposato (38th) told the commissioners that while he supported their push to follow the rules and bring order to the process, he was also concerned that they were trying to change too much at once. “I’ve been in the program from the beginning,” Sposato said. “I was one of guys going out and getting the signatures [to establish the program]. I appreciate you guys’ energy, but you want to reinvent the wheel, you want to change the whole program. Maybe you guys should cool down a bit, get to know each other.” Pat Vader, of Montclare, urged the commission to consider everything carefully, and said that she appreciates what they’ve been doing. “I’m proud of everything that’s been said here,” she said. “It’s obvious that you guys are reading statute and it’s great.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

Ald. Taliaferro encourages local hiring during AAABNA meeting By CONNOR S. CARYNSKI

Local business key to community, says alderman Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th) rallied Austin businesses to push for success despite economic challenges during this month’s meeting of the Austin African American Business Network Association. “Ask yourselves, what do I do for my community and what do I owe my community? And I think we’ll have a better outcome,” Taliaferro said at Friday morning’s gathering. Taliaferro encouraged business owners to continue to ban together through the AAABNA, saying that oftentimes if owners only wait for success to come to them, things will never change. Businesses need to take an active role in the betterment of their own communities, he said. “One of the most important facets of community growth is the businesses. They hire from the community, they thrive in the community. Our seniors, our residents, our businesses are all apart of things that help us grow. We owe one another the respect of allowing our businesses to thrive.” The AAABNA meets monthly at the Sankofa Cultural Arts and Business Center, at 5820 W. Chicago Ave., to provide informational support and develop strategies to develop Austin. During the monthly meetings, owners and community members are encouraged to conduct business with each other to spark community growth and share information ranging from above-ground plumbing requirements to zoning processes. Letrusia May, owner of L. May Creations and an AAABNA member, spoke about her experience applying for and eventually securing a Retail Thrive Zone business devel-

May is using the grant – about $151,000 – to construct her jewelry shop in at 5936 W. Chicago Ave. She offered to assist other business owners interested in applying for a city grant. Her previous occupation gave her experience handling paperwork, which allowed her to navigate the process – one that could be challenging for others who’ve not had that experience. AAABNA Executive Director Malcolm Crawford said the monthly meetings serve as a sort of support group because oftentimes, creating a business can be isolating, and it is powerful to know that others are having similar experiences. “The AAABNA meetings are meant to inform and empower,” Crawford said. “It’s not information that is wavering, it is information that comes from people who have been through the processes.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

Cleaning program makes impact on 29th Ward
Cleanslate’s Ward by Ward initiative helps people turn temp jobs into careers By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
Cleanslate’s Ward by Ward initiative has been in effect within the 29th Ward for less than a year, but it has already accumulated a fan base. The organization is a subsidiary program of Cara, a nonprofit founded in 1991 by entrepreneur Tom Owens. Cleanslate works with residents who have trouble getting permanent jobs, hiring them to work in a cleaning crew while helping them find more permanent employment. The program also teaches participants skills that will allow them to not only keep those jobs, but to keep going up the career ladder. With the Ward by Ward initiative, Cleanslate uses its crews to clean up streets in the selected wards for three years. According to a quarterly report posted on Ald. Chris Taliaferro’s (29th) Facebook page, the crews collected over 560 bags worth of trash and 306 bags worth of recyclable waste, emptied 291 trash receptacles and removed 281 signs. Cleanslate managing director Brady Gott said that the program has garnered praise
ALEXA ROGALS/Staff Photographer
STARTING OVER: Cleanslate workers during a May 17 press conference held to announce that the organization’s Ward by Ward initiative will expand into Austin’s 29th Ward. from residents and businesses throughout the 29th Ward. So far, local businesses have been able to hire nine local residents for the cleaning crew, and with the help of Taliaferro, two Cleanslate participates were able to land permanent, better-paying jobs at the Neslie plant in Galewood. Cleanslate’s Ward by Ward initiative was
originally launched in August 2017 in the 27th Ward. It expanded to the 29th ward in May. The expansion was the result of $300,000 in private donations from 12 local entrepreneurs. Gott said that the crews are made up of one supervisor and five workers. Each crew member works three days a week. On the
11
days they don’t work, they get job placement support from Cara, learning how to put together resumes and taking workshops on networking and leadership skills and other skills that will come in handy. Ideally, Gott said, Cleanslate wants to place them on permanent jobs within four months. The idea, he explained, was to keep providing job opportunities and helping more and more people get permanent jobs. Gott noted that they hire for the clean-up crews yearround — the trash happens no matter the weather or the season, and, during winter, the crews shovel sidewalks and bus stops. “The good thing about [the program is that it] will provide ongoing, constant employment,” he said. “It keeps people working year-round and it’s the kind of thing people need to sustain their families.” The crews are currently focusing on major corridors in 29th Ward portions of Austin and Galewood, including Central Avenue, North Avenue, Madison Street, Chicago Avenue, Roosevelt Road, Division Street and Lake Street. “It creates a sense of community pride,” Gott said. “Our streets are cleaner, we have this crew out there doing something positive; they are our extra eyes on the street, so it creates positive vibes for residents and business community.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com
