FORWARD TOGETHER: The people who helped facilitate the drafting of Austin’s historic quality of life plan bask in their accomplishment at the plan’s unveiling on Dec. 15 in Austin. Now, there’s even more implementation work to do.

By SUZANNE McBRIDE AustinTalks

More than 250 people packed the auditorium of Michele Clark Magnet High School, 5101 W. Harrison St., on Dec. 15 to celebrate the unveiling of a quality of life plan for Austin. The plan has been in the works for more than two years and involved more than 400 people, many of them Austin residents and business owners.

“Today is a very important and special day in Austin,” said Darnell Shields, executive director of Austin Coming Together, which oversaw the creation of the plan. “Things are changing in Austin,” said Shields, an Austin resident. “We are a community that has seen good times and hard times. And now we’re prepared for the next chapter … This plan is a roadmap for our success.” Shields thanked LISC Chicago, which was a partner in developing the plan. He noted

LISC has done similar work since 2000 in 24 communities that has led to more than $800 million in investment in those neighborhoods. Saturday’s event followed dozens of working meetings that focused on seven key issue areas as well as three community summits. The next step is getting even more people involved, said Mildred Wiley, of the Austin Community Action Council and Institute for Justice. She served as one of 20 steering committee members who oversaw the work.

“This plan is going to be action-oriented, which means we have to take some action and do some work. If you’re ready to do some work, then raise your hands … We have to work together to get this done.” This is not something that sits on a shelf, Wiley added. Shields said now that the planning stage is over, it’s time to mobilize. Seven task forces — community narrative,

ALL HANDS ON DECK: More than 250 people packed the auditorium at Michele Clark High School on Saturday for the unveiling of Austin’s quality of life plan. The plan, which now must be put into action, includes around 400 collaborating entities. Bottom: Sen. Don Harmon, Austin Coming Together Executive Director Darnell Shields and Rep. Camille Lilly.

AUSTIN PLAN Unveiled

from page 1 economic development, education, housing, public safety, youth empowerment and civic engagement — are identifying partners to work with and tapping local leaders to turn the plan into action. Austin resident Briana Shields, who runs her own business, Briana Janee Arts, and is co-chair of the community narrative task force, said she wants to show the reality of her community. “I see all the positive things that happen in Austin every single day, yet those are not the headlines we see in the news or the stories we read in the newspaper every day.” It’s time for Austin residents to share the rich history of the community; this is “our opportunity to rewrite our narrative” and shift the way others view us, she said. Others said Austin, one of the city’s 77 community areasm is long overdue to become one of Chicago’s jewels. Education Task Force Co-Chair Natasha Smith-Walker, who works with Project Exploration, said young people in Austin deserve what youth in other communities get One of 23 strategic goals laid out in the plan calls for increasing enrollment of Austin’s schools; too many of the neighbor-

hood’s youth leave the area for their education, task force leaders said. Bradley Johnson, co-chair of the public safety task force who works at BUILD, said Austin should be defined by its people, not by the crime that happens in the neighborhood. He pointed to his young son and daughter as he talked about the importance of what happens next. “I’m part of this because of them. And because of my mom who for (more than 40 years) lived down the street on Laramie.” Althena Williams, co-chair of the housing task force who works for the West Cook Homeownership Center, said they will need help from elected officials like state Sen. Don Harmon, who attended Saturday’s event, to improve life in Austin. She noted that over 60 percent of Austin’s property is rental, so there is an opportunity to increase home ownership. Williams, who works as a realtor, said she was a renter for 18 years before she bought her home. “I see the wonderful housing stock we have and the need to maintain our homes” so property can be passed onto the next generation. ”I just think Austin is a wonderful community, and I’m all in.” Since 2016, Wells Fargo has provided more than $200,000 to support the Austin plan in conjunction with LISC Chicago and Austin Coming Together. Saturday, Wells Fargo presented a $100,000 check to continue the work. “We need resources,” Darnell Shields said. “We have a lot of work in front of us.”

He urged everyone in the packed auditorium to take concrete steps to “reclaim power for Austin,” urging those in attendance to “share this plan with your neighbors, use it when you talk to public officials, show them what needs to be done and ask them what they can do help. Build relationships with the people and groups involved in this plan. And get others involved.” “So much of our potential power goes underutilized because we’re just a huge neighborhood, “Shields said, adding that many

things happen in isolation. “The only way we’re going to get things done in this neighborhood is through collective action,” he said. Editor’s Note: AustinTalks Publisher Suzanne McBride and Austin Weekly News editor Michael Romain were involved in some of the planning for the quality of life plan, and the publications will be involved in the community narrative task force going forward.

Kenneth Varner, who co-chairs the community narrative task force, emphasized that improving Austin’s image is something that will happen gradually. He said that the task force will do more outreach to local media outlets, such as Austin Talk and Austin Weekly News. Beyond that, Varner said, the details haven’t been worked out yet, but he said that the task force currently plans to meet to discuss more details “within the next week or so.”

Carmen Scott-Boria, the chair of youth empowerment task force and director of enrichment programs at BUILD, said that they haven’t settled on how they’ll implement any of the strategies. For now, they are looking for activists and organizations that “engage young people.” Anyone interested in being involved, ScottBoria said, can contact her directly by calling her office at (773) 227-2880.

Jerrod Williams, the co-chair of the community development task force, said that they have three strategies that will take highest priority. The task force will be looking to contact “an expert in urban infrastructure” to advise the community about how development proposals might impact them. They are also looking to connect residents to workforce development programs and “educate investors and lenders on the commercial opportunities in Austin.” Williams said that the task force is still developing the specifics of the latter two strategies.

Bradly Johnson, the co-chair of the public safety task force and BUILD’s Director of Core Programs, said that they are already planning to work with BUILD and the Institute for Nonviolence to tackle two major priorities: creating prevention strategies to build a safer Austin and working to help at risk-residents avoid prison though intervention. “We are going to start doing training on restorative justice, peace circles,” he said. “We’re going to be working to bring the Restorative Justice Court to Austin.” The training, he said, is going to be done through Catholic Charities, which recently opened a social service center in a former ABC Bank building. Johnson said that the training will start in January. As for the Restorative Justice Court, he said that the task force is currently expecting to hold a first community meeting on Jan. 12.

Anderson noted that his own school is currently applying for be part of the International Baccalaureate program, something that is expected to be decided by March. Douglass High School and Nash Elementary School are both applying Another near-turn priority, Anderson said, was to help schools increase CPS quality ratings.

BIG WEEK

Merry Christmas! Get over it!

I

t’s amazing how these two words are seldom heard between Thanksgiving Day and Dec. 25: Merry Christmas! We have become such a politically-sensitized country that even though this is the Christmas season, those words don’t radiate out of people’s mouths readily. Especially when you’re out shopping. The stores want your money, but they don’t want to put up the decorations. Why? Because for some people who are not Christians, this season doesn’t apply to them. My response? Get over it! What makes this country great is our ability to be tolerant of other religions. Even though I’m not Jewish, if a friend asked, I would join in a Hanukkah celebration. The same thing with Ramadan. It is the sharing in celebration of those events with others that makes us unique. This year, one of the hottest controversies has been over the song, “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” It wasn’t a song I heard often during the Christmas season growing up. My Christmas music repertoire was limited to the usual “Silent Night,” “Jingle Bells,” “O Holy Night,” etc. I first heard the song last year during the Christmas season because of a co-worker who was listening to Christmas music all day long. It was one of the songs in the lineup played repeatedly — two or three times during an eight-hour period. When I first heard the song, I did imagine people getting upset with the lyrics. However the imagery for me was not of a weak woman unable to fend off the advances of a man. Instead, the images of strong women I’d seen on television came to mind — women like Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. Women like Lois Lane in the Superman series, succeeding in what was then a pre-

dominantly man’s world. Strong women, like Barbara Stanwyck in The Big Valley. These were women who would never be seen as damsels in distress and who never played the “weaker-sex card.” I grew up watching the women’s movement come to the forefront. Women burned their bras and said we were no longer the helpless, demure, dainty creatures who couldn’t do the same things as men. My view of the Women’s Liberation Movement was that women should be given the same opportunities as men without our sex being seen as the handicap. We can take on any challenge we so desire. However, there are others who saw the song as a sexual assault. Give me a break! It makes me wonder what the point of the Women’s Liberation Movement was if, in the end, we get these wimpy women who act as if they are incapable of saying no and getting their point across! And in a case of irony, there is vintage video of the song being sung with the roles reversed. I wish the same people who complained about “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” would put the same sort of energy into protesting some of the rap music that denigrates women. But that would be too much like right! In the meantime, Merry Christmas!

Oak Park Arts District gets a bookstore Jake’s Place Books invites kids in for a free book By TIMOTHY INKLEBARGER Staff Reporter

Bill Fletcher and Don Moss, two of Oak Park’s newest residents, admittedly have a little bit of a problem. As far as problems go, it’s not a bad one to have – over the last few decades the couple that moved here earlier this year from Seattle has amassed a collection of thousands of books. So many that they rented a storage space for about half of it. The other half, well, the couple has opened a shop in the Oak Park Arts District in the last few weeks and are now entrepreneurs. Fletcher said in a recent interview that Jake’s Place Books, 142 Harrison St. – the shop is named after Fletcher’s beloved, late yellow Labrador – is more than just a long overdue purging of the married couple’s personal book collection – the fledgling busi-

ness also is a mission-driven enterprise. “We got interested in a store to get books out to kids and to get them reading,” Fletcher said. He noted that all the children’s books in the store are free and children are allowed to pick one when they come in. Fletcher, who works at Maryville Academy in Des Plaines – a Roman Catholic institution for abused children – said he wants to get out into the community and start working where they need books or someone to read to children. “It’s always in the back of my mind that children need all the help you can give them,” he said. Fletcher recently donated a dozen pop-up books to Edward K. Duke Ellington Elementary School, 243 N Parkside Ave., in Austin. He noted that teachers there get about $250 a year for supplies and the kids in the special-education class there get a lot out of the pop-up books. He noted that the basement shop has a garden in the back and he plans to schedule readings when the weather is good. “It’s right on the Blue Line, so it’s easy to get here for parents,” Fletcher said.

Fletcher is putting out a call to organizations in and around Oak Park that are interested in getting books to kids to work with him to find the best way to make that happen.

They were walking down Harrison Street earlier this year when they saw the empty storefront and had their eureka moment. “It was an immediate decision for us to open a

Austin nonprofit gets full-time executive director

A House in Austin announced that Rachel Rettberg will take the reins next year By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A West Side nonprofit recently announced that it has hired a full-time, paid executive director. Rachel Rettberg will become the executive director of A House in Austin, a nonprofit that “nurtures secure bonds for healthy families and bright futures,” according to a statement the organization released on Dec. 11, effective Feb. 4, 2019. Prior to her appointment as executive director of A House in Austin, Rettberg had been the CEO of the Wonder Works Children’s Museum in Oak Park since 2015. She had also served on the nonprofit’s board since 2016. This spring, she completed the Oak Park River Forest Community Foundation’s Leadership Lab, where she focused on racial equity. As executive director, Rettberg will oversee a staff of three part-time employees. The nonprofit also has a seven-person board of directors. “I’m honored to lead A House in Austin into the future,” Rettberg said in the statement.

“This position allows me to bring together my years of early childhood education experience with my deep interest in equity, the opportunity gap and building community to have a deep and lasting impact on families in the Austin neighborhood.” Rettberg, a resident of Oak Park, is a native of the United Kingdom. She and her husband, Kyle, have three sons. A House in Austin was founded in 2016 by Eric and Bret Hilgart in order to offer music classes and support groups to parents and their children in Austin. The organization’s vision, according to its statement, “is of a community where all children and families have equal access to experiences and opportunity, leading to empowered parents and emotionally and physically healthy children and families.” The nonprofit, organization officials said, is currently trying to raise funds to support programming and to finish renovations on a physical house on the corner of Pine and Race Streets, where the nonprofit plans to establish a parent-child center “where families will be able to receive private counseling and early intervention therapies in addition to its current programming.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

Concerns of Christians this Christmas season

A

s a Christian, I get frustrated by the things that dominate the messages of our churches, pulpits, and individuals during Christmas. As Christians prepare for the celebration of the birth of Christ, on Dec. 25, many of us forget very important parts of the story: the part of the Christmas story, where a very pregnant, Mary, and her husband, Joseph, have to travel to Bethlehem, probably in a caravan of other migrants, to get the newly required immigration paperwork ordered by the Roman government. I fear that so many American Christians have gotten so off track with the true message of Christmas, that our holiday is becoming corrupted. During Christmas, instead of just listening to Christmas songs and shopping, may I suggest that we (re)read the story of the birth of Christ. Instead of telling our children the traditional Christmas stories of the Three Kings, the birth in the manger, and Jesus being wrapped in cloth, it is equally important that our children know the Christmas story that Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus had to flee to Egypt as refugees because King Herod ordered the murder of all baby boys in their home country. Again, the Christmas story is of a newborn Christ from a virgin, Mary, but it is also the story the poor, oppressed people who had to leave their home because of immigration policies and then were refugees who fled to safety in Egypt. I love the traditions of decorating our Christmas tree, baking cookies, and opening gifts on Christmas morning. But, I find it hard to celebrate knowing that right now, we have a President who has sent our military to open fire, spray water hoses, and pepper spray, on refugees who, like The Holy Family, are just trying to bring their children to the safety of our country. If ever there were a season to welcome refugees, it is Christmas season. I worry about the lack of the priorities of Christians, who worry about whether or not people are saying, “Merry Christmas,” instead of Christians being worried about how we can help, welcome, and keep refugees safe, like Egypt did for our Holy Family. Our role as Christians is to respond to people in need like Christ would respond. In Central America, the Middle East, and many parts of Africa right now, there are terrible tragedies leading to the genocide of many people. For the lucky refugees who manage to escape, many of them are denied entry into countries that have the resources to help them. The real question for Christians this Christmas is this: How do we, as

Americans, help the people seeking refuge and asylum from oppression, war and brutal circumstances? The Christian answer is not to leave them in refugee camps, refuse them entry into our country or build a massive wall. The best way to honor the birth of Jesus is to help and love people. I doubt Jesus is as concerned about the size of your Christmas tree or how many gifts you get for your children, as he is worried about what you are doing to stop Trump from creating inhumane immigration policies and stopping refugees fleeing danger like Mary and Joseph did. I can think of no better way to celebrate Christmas than by helping refugees. Offering safety to people like Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus within our country is the best way to honor the Holy Family and that is the best way to say Merry Christmas.

The unseen needs of young people

N

ot long ago, I met a nice young man. He looked to be about 19 years old, and I will call him Baron. He was kind, soft-spoken, and easy going ... and both he and his pain are invisible to most people. Baron has a childhood trauma that has never been given the attention it deserves. He is depressed, addicted to the substances he uses to medicate his suffering and deeply ashamed of the legal run-ins he has amassed. Sadly, Baron is just a casualty and a statistic in a society that likes to criminalize people who look like him. His legal problems should have been addressed much more humanely and with restorative justice strategies. With beautiful, dark, chocolate skin and a timid grin, Baron had wanted to talk to me. Someone in the room had informed him that I am a mental health professional. Quietly, he approached and nervously confided that he would like to speak to somebody about his problems. As I quickly moved to normalize his assertion, and as I noted the special brand of intelligence and insight it takes for a young man to understand his own complex needs, he began to relax. As I talked about the therapeutic interventions that will help him process and unravel the many ways the devastating events of his childhood have, without a doubt, sabotaged him, he flashed a warm and grateful smile. I, on the other hand, ached inside. I was thinking about all the sweet young men and women who deserve access to treatment, but would rather bite nails than admit their profound hurts and

sorrows. The encounter I had with Baron is somewhat rare. More often, young people act out their trauma, or proclaim their many disappointments in loud and asinine ways, but resist any suggestion of a need for therapy. Most times, they are determined to pursue the “rugged individualism” that they think characterize the “winners” in this society. It astounds my young students to learn that many high-powered CEOs and corporate executives are in therapy. They think therapy is the tragic domain of the weak. They do not know that the ability to analyze their feelings with a trained professional is precisely what many privileged people seek — and that is the problem. There are a few cruelties that need to be acknowledged, rebuked and reversed: Compassionate mental health providers are not at all as accessible to lower income Black residents in Chicago as they should be and professionals have not done a good job of destroying the stigma surrounding mental health care in our communities. Certain socioeconomic classes have the resources and supports to access this often life-saving relief, but the less fortunate do not. How can we be comfortable accepting this appalling injustice? This city exposes our kids to failing schools, economic injustice and unsafe streets policed by too many people who do not value the lives of Black youth, and yet mental health support is not readily available in our neighborhoods. We need safe places for young people in disinvested spaces to explore their authentic feelings about the often crazy things going on around them. They deserve so much better. In this election season, we should demand specific commitments to the healthy development of our children from every person who has the audacity to run for the privilege of serving this city. As the holidays draw near, we must pay extra attention to our youth. Joy and happiness may not be what they are experiencing. In fact, this is a time of year when many people feel depressed. Young people may have unaddressed trauma that does not allow them to feel excited about the season, or they may have lost a supportive relative or friend this year. They could be facing academic or social challenges in school, or they may have lowpaying, unsatisfying jobs that leave them hopeless. They may be exposed to a threat, of which no one is aware, in their own homes, or they may be homeless. So, in this season of giving, why not give the gift of your presence by checking in on a young person who doesn’t seem “right” or who has suffered serious losses this year. Also, begin questioning your elected officials. Where are the mental health resources that our youth deserve in their communities?
