West Side mourns blues giant Eddie C. Campbell, 79, died on Nov. 20 By BONNIE McKEOWN Contributor

Family members and musicians paid tribute to West Side bluesman Eddie C. Campbell, at a memorial service held Dec. 8 at New Progressive St. James Missionary Baptist Church. Campbell died Nov. 20, at his home in Oak Park, according to the Chicago Tribune and his Facebook page. In 2013, Campbell suffered a stroke while in Germany. Fans raised thousands of dollars to bring him back to the U.S. He was unable to return to the guitar, but after physical therapy he was able to sing and play harmonica for several more years. The master guitarist, songwriter and singer was born May 6, 1937 to Gracie and Edward Brown in Duncan, Miss. — the youngest of three brothers and one sister. The family moved to Chicago when he Campbell was six. As a teen, he was already playing blues with Luther Allison and later with Little Walter. During his youth, he also boxed. Church pastor Reno “Sim” Wilson, Campbell’s nephew, named after the family’s oldest brother, said Campbell fought off eight gang members who tried and failed to recruit him.

METAMORPHOSIS: Sabrian “Boo” Sledge and Darris Kelly are the owners of Flee Club, a store that specializes in selling rare and limited edition sneakers. Sledge said that he approaches business the same way he approached rapping — by regularly developing his craft.

From rapping to selling shoes — success is in the details

Austin’s Sabrian Sledge, better known as one-half of Boo & Gotti, stresses craft over consumption By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Sabrian “Boo” Sledge, 38, the co-owner of Flee Club, a high-end resell shoe store at 121 S. Western Ave., is perhaps best known for being one-half of the rap duo Boo & Gotti. The duo peaked on the 2001 Billboard Hot

100 hit “Fiesta (Remix),” which featured JayZ and R. Kelly, who discovered the rappers not long before they became chart-topping. On Nov. 24, which was Small Business Saturday, Sledge sat inside of the shop he owns with his best friend, Darris Kelly, and thought back on his personal evolution from rapper to sneaker connoisseur and

businessman. Sledge said that R-Kelly discovered him while he was outside of Rock and Roll McDonald’s downtown, celebrating his good friend, NBA star Corey Maggette, who had just gotten a scholarship to play at Duke.

Danny K.

FLEE CLUB Branded

from page 1 R. Kelly noticed the young men looking awestruck at him and approached them. The singer singled out Sledge, telling him that he looked the part of a rapper. “He said, ‘You sure you don’t rap?’ I was like, ‘No.’ Then he said, ‘I’m sure you know about rap,’ and he asked me to rap one of my favorite songs,” Sledge recalled. “I rapped a Mase verse and he took me to the studio that same night. Eight months later, I was on his double album, “R.,” and had a record deal that next year.” The one thing common to both of his lives, Sledge said, is something that he learned from his old mentor. “He gave me a pen and told me to write every day,” Sledge said. “That was the best advice he ever gave me.” Sledge followed that advice when, five years ago, he decided to translate his passion for shoes into a second career. He took the last of the money from his rap career and poured it into his business. And like his rap career, he paid attention to developing his craft. “We (he and Kelly), went to two sneaker conventions where you can buy, sell and trade shoes and from there, I got the gist of the business,” Sledge said. “ F r o m there, we started our own brand and tried to get accounts with Nike and Brand Jordan, but that was super hard.” So, the friends researched stores like Flight Club and Stadium Goods that deal in rare and limited edition sneakers that regularly rival the price of MacBooks. Sledge said that the store’s brand even goes beyond shoes and into apparel, including custom tshirts, hats and sweaters. Currently, Flee Club has more than 12,000 Instagram followers and celebrity clients that include Scottie Pippen, Bears defensive end Akiem Hicks and Bulls power forward Bobby Portis, among many others. “A lot of times, they’re looking for the newest, hottest thing on the street or a classic that’s hard for them to get, because they don’t have time to go get it,” Sledge said. “Some days, a lot of the Bulls players come through once they get out of practice just to chill out. We have some good vibes in here.” Nowadays, Sledge is looking to the fu-

ture. On the day of this interview, the store had hosted a press conference where state Rep. La Shawn Ford (8th) publicized a measure designed to increase the amount of loans and grants that the state gives expanding businesses like Flee Club. “Right now, it’s so hard to manufacture your own stuff,” Sledge said, adding that he’d love to employ local residents in his own manufacturing warehouse that pumps out Flee Club’s brand merchandise. “A lot of times, it’s easier for us to make our own rather than wait on China,” he said. “Some of us are so creative that we can do it.” In the meantime, he’s focused on manufacturing the same kind of life-changing advice that R. Kelly (who Sledge said he still supports despite the singer’s current controver-

sies) gave him all those years ago. “I try to tell young rappers, ‘Sit down and write for a minute. Take two hours out of your day to write and rap. Sit down and sketch. You never know what that can come to,’” Sledge said. “‘Stop always thinking what you’re not getting. Think about what work you’re putting in. Take an hour devoted to your craft and it will come back to you.’” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

ALEXA ROGALS/Staff Photographer

SCALING UP: Sledge said that he hopes that Flee Club can get to the point of manufacturing its own custom apparel line and employing local residents. The focus, he insists, should be more about making than consuming.

EDDIE CAMPBELL Enduring legacy from page 1 “He got a reputation and nobody messed with our family because of him,” Wilson said. During the 1970s, Campbell was also known for riding a purple Honda motorcycle around the West Side, sometimes with guitar in tow, and sometimes with his oldest kids, Edward and Mae-Mae. His first album, King of the Jungle, debuted in 1977 for Steve Wisner’s short-lived “Mr. Blues” logo. The album includes the guitarist’s lighthearted Christmas song, “Santa’s Been Messin’ with the Kid”. His 1984 album with a Dutch group, Let’s Pick It!, first came out on Black Magic. He spent much of the 1980s in the Netherlands and Germany, where he met his former wife and manager Barbara Mayson. After returning to the U.S. in the 1990s, Campbell slowly gained recognition in the music industry. “He was a late bloomer in launching his career,” said Pastor Wilson. “He didn’t know how to read and write. He would go sing in some club and musicians or promoters would write down and steal his songs and make hits out of them. Then when he’d sing the songs, people thought he stole them from the other people.” Campbell’s mother introduced him to Muddy Waters, said blues producer and critic Dick Shurman. But Campbell was also influenced by fellow West Siders like Howlin’ Wolf, Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Eddie Taylor and Jimmy Reed. “Most of the cats that you listened to, back in the ’50s, lived on the West Side,” Campbell told the Chicago Tri-

bune in 1993. “That’s where the name came from, West Side blues.” “Playing the blues doesn’t give you the

(media) coverage that rock ’n’ roll gives you,” he said in a 1994 Tribune interview. “White guys copy the black culture, and they get all the attention, whereas if B.B. King plays a concert, you would hardly even know it That’s why the blues guys are driving Fords while the rock ’n’ rollers drive the Porsches.” Campbell recorded “That’s When I Know” for Blind Pig in 1994 and Gonna Be Alright in 1999. Tear This World Up (2009) and Spider Eating Preacher (2012), were produced by Dick Shurman for Delmark Records. When home from Europe, he’d visit with family and with musician neighbors. “He never got separated from his roots,” said Darrell Dwayne (D.D.) Jackson, who played with Campbell. Jackson reminded the congregation that the White Elephant lounge once stood on the very site occupied

by the New Progressive church today. Joe Wilson, another nephew of Campbell’s, noted that Eddie and other family members got a sense of humor from matriarch Mama Gracie. Among family, Campbell was known as “Eddie B” for “blues.” Wilson, who moved back south to Holly Springs, Miss. in 1989 to earn a degree from Rust College, recruited his uncle to play in Mississippi. “His band really lit the place up,” Wilson said. “Eddie was the epitome of blues from the old school.” Musicians at the memorial agreed. “He was all about soul,” Jackson recalled of Campbell. “In that era of the 1960s, blues was evolving, getting real strong. But that sound wasn’t Eddie; instead, everything he did came from inside him.” Playing a Fender Jazzmaster, Campbell would reach back into the 1930s and 40s for musical ideas, Jackson said. Kaspar, a Swiss musician who played with Campbell said that his “guitar playing was mesmerizing, but he was all about groove. He shared a loving, humble energy on stage. You just wanted to lean back and dig the groove.” Piano player Karl “Little Daddy” Outten called Campbell “a great guy to play on the road with. He did all the driving through a snowstorm in Oklahoma that shut everything down. He took care of all the musicians.” Larry Taylor, who played drums for Campbell on “King of the Jungle,” said his own father, the late guitar master Eddie Taylor Sr., called Campbell “an extraordinary guitar player.” Besides writing his own songs, Campbell was able to play other artists’ recordings note for note. According to the obituary, Campbell’s include daughters Eddie Mae (Frank), Deena (Robert), Debra, Cindy, Carolyn, Sheba, Niecey and Tammy (Stanford). His sons include Edward, Eddie, David, Lil Ron, Billy, Ronnie and Guy. A daughter, Sharon, is deceased. Still living on the West Side are Cindy, Deena, Edward Jr. and Debra. “Eddie will live on through his children and grandchildren. We will prosper and make his name live on,” youngest daughter Sheba Campbell said. CONTACT: bonni@barrelhousebonni.com

‘S

Learning how to play the game of politics

ure, politics ain’t beanbag. ‘Tis a man’s game, an’ women, childer, cripples an’ prohybitionists ‘d do well to keep out of it,” said Mr. Dooley in an 1895 newspaper column. He was a Chicagoan, IrishAmerican, fictitious character, the brainchild of writer Finley Peter Dunne. Although an individual beanbag can’t hurt you, a lot of them can be tossed at you. And candidates who have filed to run for office are now seeing how ugly/ruthless it can be. Take mayoral candidate Ja’mal Green for example. Earlier this year, he appeared on Chicago Tonight. He’s a young, confident, community activist who wants to see changes in Chicago. He filed his nominating petitions to become mayor but was soon challenged, allegedly by someone out of mayoral candidate Willie Wilson’s camp. In the world of Chicago politics, the rule is that if you need X number of signatures, you better turn in 10 times that number. That way when they challenge the signatures, you’ll still have enough valid ones to get you on the ballot. Unfortunately for Ja’mal Green, that doesn’t appear to be the case. They took away about a thousand of his signatures. The only way to try to get them back, is via unlimited fight in court. That kind of politics is the norm for this city. Everybody can run, but not everybody can make it on the ballot. Ja’mal took to Facebook and began a rant. He lamented the unfairness of the process. He challenged the powers to allow him on

the ballot so he could battle fair and square. Sadly, that’s not the way the game is played. If you can knock off a challenger, you do it. I know. I ran for alderman of the 37th Ward in 2003 and 2007. Both times I was challenged to get on the ballot. But I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t follow the rules. I made sure all my signatures were valid. So when I sat there with the Board of Elections person, and he began to toss out a signature, I had the person’s voter ID number, and sure enough when you looked up the voter via his/her voter ID number, the signature on the registration card matched the one on my petition. Both times I made it on the ballot. Both times I lost the election. But the experience taught me more and more. Ja’mal’s diatribe on Facebook — and it can probably be found on YouTube — went from a legitimate lament, about the process being rigged, to personal attacks. He began to mention things about Willie Wilson’s private life, Wilson’s estrangement from an out-of-wedlock child, and his speech patterns. The problem with a young candidate doing that is the same things he attacks the other candidate for, also applies to voters. So they take it as a personal offense. The coming weeks will reveal if Ja’mal makes it on the ballot or not. But knowing the way this city works, I’m not going to put too much money on it. Politics ain’t beanbag, and when you run, you need to learn how to play the game!

Tunes and people harmonize at Garfield Park holiday recital People from all across city reveled in sounds of harp, cello, violin By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

It was literally standing room only inside Room 104, the largest meeting space in the Garfield Park Golden Dome Fieldhouse, 100 N. Central Park Ave., on Dec. 8 as the crowd streamed in to hear the Westside Instrumental String and Harp (WISH) Program recital. More than 110 people showed up — so many that there simply weren’t enough chairs to seat them all, forcing about 20 people to stand by the wall. “As you can see, we’ve outgrown our space,” said Howard Sandifer, the executive director of Chicago West Community Music Center, which includes the WISH program. “If you have any suggestions, let me know.” WISH teaches kids, ages 7 to 12, how to play violin, viola, cello, guitar, piano and harp. All but the guitar playing was on display during the recital as students who started recently and students who have been in the program for a while showed what they’ve been learning. Sandifer said that the classes take place on Saturdays, with the fall session running from September to December. He said that, while most students started in September, some started later, so a few of the kids at the recital had only been playing an instrument for a few weeks. The recital started with students giving piano solos, followed by harp players. The cello and violin classes of various levels then performed, with each class performing a few songs. The recital concluded with all students performing holiday staples like “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night.” Jasney Biggs was one of the many parents who came to see their children perform. She said her 7-year-old daughter played viola. “[Being in WISH taught her] patience,” she said. “Just teaching her patience at seven years, and just teaching her to be patient and keep practicing, because practice does pay off.” Sheila Jones, the director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s African American Network, didn’t even try to hide her enthusiasm, cheering loudly after every solo and

every song and praising the kids’ talents. “This program represents the best the city can offer,” Jones said. “It is essential and needed for all communities. That is why Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s African American Network is a big supporter of this program.” She said that she appreciated that smaller kids who were just starting out got opportunities to perform with the older kids, and she was impressed that there were several kids playing cello and harp. And Jones appreciated that the program was a mix of classic Christmas carols, transitional English-language songs and pieces from other countries. “I was very impressed with the multinational component of this program,” Jones

Ain’t that something?” Sandifer said that, while he wasn’t surprised there was a large crowd, he didn’t expect that it would be as large. He said that he was glad that so many families turned out. While most of the students were from the West Side, some

were not, and he was glad that the recital gave them an opportunity to mingle. “It’s more than about music, it’s about families coming together,” Sandifer said. “Sure, we play music, but this is an opportunity for the community to come together.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

West Side activists call for more affordable housing Activists urged aldermen to postpone a vote on new 5-year housing plan they say doesn’t adequately address housing needs By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

During a Chicago City Council Committee on Housing and Real Estate meeting on Dec. 6, representatives of the Garfield Park Community Council and other community groups urged aldermen to delay the vote on the city’s 2019-2023 Housing Plan. The plan is expected to get final approval during a Dec. 12 City Council meeting. Most community members argued that the $1.14 billion the city is allocating for the housing plan over the next five years isn’t nearly enough to accomplish the lofty goals of maintaining affordability in gentrifying neighborhoods, tackling the legacy of decades of discrimination and segregation, and increasing housing options for some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. During the committee meeting, activists urged the aldermen to delay the vote until the summer, when the city will have a new mayor and new City Council members, since they will be the ones implementing the plan. But the aldermen on the committee were unmoved, with all of the committee members present voting present in order to send the matter to the Dec. 12 council meeting. The City of Chicago has been doing fiveyear housing plans since 1994, in order to try to address the city’s housing needs. Although the 2014-2018 plan focuses on dealing with the consequences of the collapse of the real estate bubble, the 2019-23 plan focuses on encouraging more affordable housing and rental options. Since there is less state and federal funding to go around, the plan places more priority on partnerships with other government entities, community organizations and private developers. It also focuses on alternative funding sources and reducing costs. The plan divides Chicago into three areas: “lower cost” markets that can use some investment, “moderate-cost” markets where rising property values have threatened displacement and “high-cost” markets where affordability is a serious concern. On the West Side, “lower cost” markets include most of Austin north of Division Street, all of East Garfield Park, and all but the easternmost portions of East Garfield Park and North Lawndale. “Moderate-cost” markets include West Humboldt Park Galewood and the remain-

ing portions of Austin, East Garfield Park and North Lawndale. For lower-cost markets, the city’s priority would be to address vacant and abandoned buildings, increase public and private investment, improve existing resources and do more to encourage home ownership. For moderate-cost markets, the priority would be to “proactively preserve affordable housing” by working with local organizations to help them combat gentrificationinduced displacement, building more affordable housing and offering incentives to help homeowners stay in their neighborhoods and help landlords keep their buildings affordable. During the discussion of the plan, Ald. Michael Scott (24th) touched on building a forfeiture program, which allows building owners of hazardous properties to forfeit them to the city so that they can be transferred to third parties that can pay off the property taxes and other debt owed to the city. The alderman said he liked the program, but he urged the city to figure out a way to speed up the process. “I think a lot of these tools take a bit longer than we want them to take and the longer we have buildings sit abandoned […] the more it takes to get it back on tax rolls,” Scott said. “How do we [reduce time] to make sure we get properties back on the tax rolls and into the hands of developers that are indigenous to the community?” Anthony Simpkins, the managing deputy commissioner of housing, responded that the city was working on the plan described by Scott, but since much of the property transfer process is in the hands of the courts, there’s only so much they can do. Some aldermen said that the city spends far too little on housing and needs to invest more than the $1.1 billion that the plan calls for over five years. That number, critics argued, is a relatively small fraction of the city’s annual budget. Many speakers at the meeting voiced similar concerns. Most of them were part of the Chicago Housing Justice League, a collaborative of 37 non-profit organizations that work together on housing issues. Theron Hawk, a Garfield Park community organizer, argued that the plan falls short. “If we’re truly [working on] keeping black families on the West Side, we need threebedroom, affordable family units,” he said. “The rents are too high and many families are cost-burdened. We have serious issues on West Side, including segregation, displacement. So that is why [the Garfield Park Community Council] recommends that the committee postpones the vote until after both aldermanic and mayoral elections are held.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

The fit between Austin and Upton’s Natural? It’s organic The company’s new facility in neighborhood comes with change in lifestyle for one employee

By YOLANDA PERDOMO Contributing Reporter

Austin resident Trudy Wilson had been working as a caregiver for almost 30 years when a chance meeting at her sister’s summertime snowball stand changed her life. That’s where she met one of the managers of Upton’s Naturals, which had just opened a 42,000 square-foot facility at 1826 N. Lorel Ave. in Austin. “I asked, ‘What ya’ll got going on?’ They said, ‘Well, we make vegan food, come and work with us Trudy,’” Wilson recalled. “I said I’d give that a try.” Wilson went through an agency and after a three-month training session, in November, she began working at the site on the production line making vegan food. “They explained to me the natural ingredients for people that don’t eat meat. So I was like I wanted to learn more about it,” Wilson said. Upton’s Naturals was created by owner and president Dan Staackman, who, like his partner and vice president, Nicole Sopko, had been a vegan for 20 years. Seitan, a wheat-based meat substitute, was a favorite food, but it was sometimes hard to find. “So he started making seitan. He started selling it into a few restaurants. When it seemed like it was working and people were interested, he launched a product for retail and it has been going like that ever since,” Sopko said. The vegan food market has been growing thanks to the availability of the products. According to Nielsen, 39 percent of Americans said they are trying to eat more plant-based food. As of last year, almost 20 percent of the dollars from the food and beverage industry came from products that were plant-based. Sopko said the market has gone into two notable directions. “It’s gone in the way that people are using the available science and available technology to create meat alternatives, also dairy alternatives and other alternatives that more closely mimic the animal counterparts,” Sopko said. “I think that the market has also gone in the other way using more minimally processed food products that have ingredients that are easier to recognize. I think consumers appreciate having that choice.” Upton’s first retail product came out in 2006 and seven years later, Upton’s Breakroom, on 2054 West Grand, opened to the public as a place where people could buy the vegan products and get counter service breakfast and lunch. The success of Upton’s had Staackman and Sopko looking to expand. They wanted to stay near their West Town location and the Austin space, purchased last year, seemed like a perfect place — in part, because in the past the building was set up for food production.

“Prior to choosing to build this building on Grand, we had looked for existing food companies. Because you want to buy a building that’s already built out for food. It can be extremely expensive to process food,” Sopko said who added the property has empty land and a small raised ranch house. Although there’s a large space for dry storage, the plans are to reconfigure some of the space to include cold storage and adding new equipment It’s a short distance from the Upton’s West Grand location and it’s only a three-minute walk from Trudy Wilson’s Austin home. She’s encouraged friends and neighbors to apply and work at Upton’s. The company, which has close to 70 employees, plans to move its office staff to the Austin location by early 2019 and plans to add another 10 to 20 positions in 2019. Wilson said she knows of at least two other Austin residents who work there and tells people to direct message her on her Facebook page to get more information on working at Upton’s. “We should bring more businesses into our community, so there are jobs out there for teenagers and adults. I really believe the crime rates will go down, because they have nothing to do,” Wilson said. Wilson, who’s been active in her Austin community as a block club president and tutor, wants to grow with the company. She

MORE THAN A BRAND: The new 42,000 squarefoot facility that Upton’s Naturals opened in Austin employs local residents like Trudy Wilson, who has been inspired to eat more vegan products since working at the company. Submitted photo

said that she hopes to eventually go into the management side of the business. For Wilson, her role with the company is more than just a job and a paycheck. The Upton’s experience has changed her life. Wilson said that she’s embraced a vegan diet, averaging at least three vegan meals a day. She also cooks vegan dishes for her family and has given up pork. The next thing to go? Beef. “I gotta take it slow now,” Wilson said with a laugh. “I really appreciate them opening

this warehouse in our community, giving us a chance to change our diet. You can be healthier, so I think that’s great,” Wilson said. “I want to stay with the company because I can reach out from there and maybe change lives, as well.” Upton’s Naturals is currently hiring.

Michele Clark petitions for IB program

The West Side magnet school trying to become first Austin school to win International Baccalaureate program By CONNOR S. CARYNSKI AustinTalks

Michele Clark Academic Prep Magnet High School has been selected to advance in a process that may lead to it becoming the first high school in Austin with an International Baccalaureate program. The school submitted an online petition to Chicago Public Schools along with letters of interest from community stakeholders to bid for an IB program being offered through a CPS Request for Proposal. Michele Clark and other selected schools were informed Dec. 3 they would continue in the RFP process. With school enrollment dropping in Austin, a high school IB program may be a draw for some students considering schools in other neighborhoods. Michele Clark principal, Charles Anderson Jr., said many students who attended elementary school in Austin leave the community for high schools that offer the IB program, especially if

they were already enrolled in the program. “We want to be able to tell students that we have the program right here in the community and you don’t have to leave to get that,” Anderson said. “If Michele Clark is awarded this program, this would just be another feather in CPS’ cap as to all the great things that are going on in the district.” Only a week after the petition was created, it exceeded its original goal of 1,000 signatures and is now aiming for 1,500. Support for the petition and the application for the RFP came from Austin Coming Together, Kids First Chicago and other community organizations and leaders. “This is one of those things that you hope the community gets involved with, and I’m just elated that they did,” Anderson said. The bid comes not longer after the release of the 2017 annual regional analysis, a CPS report documenting school enrollment, quality, student demographics and program offerings. The analysis indicated that none of Austin’s high schools have either an IB program nor a fine and performing arts option. Twenty-three other public high schools currently have the IB program, according to CPS. Jose Abonce, ACT’s community project organizer, said while the analysis provided information to a broader audience than just the West Side, the need for an IB program in the

POISED TO MAKE HISTORY: Michele Clark Academic Prep Magnet High School Principal Charles Anderson Jr. (left of center) with students. area has been discussed in earlier forumsm such as conversations held during the formation of Austin’s quality of life plan. (The plan is being officially unveiled 10 a.m. at Michele Clark, 5101 W. Harrison St.) Abonce said the program may help reduce the dropping enrollment in West Side schools because it would allow elementary school students in the IB program the opportunity

to continue at a local high school. The regional analysis stated West Side enrollment has dropped by 5,100 students, or 14 percent, since the 2014-2015 school year. Currently there are 28,841 more seats than students in the West Side. “The lack of an IB program in high school is yet another factor of why maybe some eighth graders would leave the Austin community to go to high school, especially if they are coming from IB programs,” Abonce said. Dwayne Truss, an education working group member on the Austin quality of life plan and candidate for 29th Ward alderman, said securing quality academic programs for Austin schools would help correct educational disparities between Chicago neighborhoods. Having an IB program in Austin would help make Austin an educational destination, potentially bringing in students from outside of the community, he added. “[The programs] send the message that we as the Austin community are taking the initiative to address issues and let families know that this community is a destination, not an escape,” Truss said. Michele Clark will be notified of its application status March 1 after a series of school visits and interview from CPS. CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com
