apartment fire claimed the life of a man on the city's Southwest Side on Thursday morning on Francisco Avenue and 45th Street in Brighton Park was found unresponsive inside and apartment as the building was on fire "I heard the sirens of the firetrucks and my dog barking I woke up to see people coming out of the building and hearing the commotion of the fire department going in," witness Orlando Zapata said The building's basement was flooded after the response from fireghters "I woke up and I saw the smoke and I called the police That's it," resident Samuel Garcia Four people are now displaced after the fire destroyed their homes Garcia now forced to bag up what salvageable belongings he had and venture out into the frigid temperatures without a permanent home ahead of the holidays The Chicago Fire Department passed out smoke detectors and fire safety materials to neighbors after the deadly fire The cause of the fire is under investigation This comes as Chicago is facing sub-zero wind chills overnight South Side Weekly bilingual (Spanish-English) poetry workshop series The group meets every first Sunday of the month began Brighton Park Poets in her apartment last July Savarese grew up in Edison Park and moved around the Northwest and West Sides before settling down in Brighton Park three years ago Savarese’s own experiences with poetry groups motivated her to start her own but there were a lot of hater tendencies that motivated me to do it,” she said.  Savarese felt there was often an in-group at a lot of the poetry events she attended she was part of a poetry club and attended Tuesday WordPlay nights with Young Chicago Authors.  and then there was the kids who were just kind of geeky and just really like poetry Sign up to get the Weekly Digest delivered to your inbox Savarese wanted to create a consistent space for anyone on the Southwest Side interested in writing poetry to come together and feel included “There was just a lack of [a] young adult community [in Brighton Park],” Savarese said “I kind of wanted an excuse to connect with people in the area as well.” as well as posting physical flyers in different places After a rocky start hosting the series at her apartment Savarese was able to secure a space at the Brighton Park Library She has also hosted the series at Party Per Purpose a local non-profit organization offering programming for youth.  Savarese has managed to attract a diverse crowd of writers At least 100 people have attended a workshop since she first started and ninety percent are from the Southwest side She says the oldest and youngest people to attend the workshop were seventy-five and nineteen Savarese wants to maintain classes accessible to Spanish speakers recognizing that there aren’t many bilingual poetry spaces available When college level poetry classes use Spanish poems which don’t always hold the same feeling as the original Savarese has incorporated different methods of participation into her workshop to ensure everyone feels included She has writers fill out a slip to share what they’d like to gain out of the workshop or their favorite line they wrote Writers can also jot down something they like during the sharing portion of the workshop to give to that person afterwards.  “I want people to feel like they can approach it The two-and-a-half-hour workshop is mainly dedicated to free writing in response to a selected piece of writing and other work of art writers are encouraged (but not pressured) to share their work Whether it’s the welcoming environment created by the facilitator or the stickers that Savarese rewards participants almost everyone in attendance is eager to share.  but if [there’s] somebody who doesn’t have the most self-confidence and they’re not the most performative personality then I don’t think their work gets the time of day,” said Savarese in regards to open mic-centered poetry spaces “So the people who write for the page instead of the stage they don’t usually get their stuff seen as much,” she added But the Brighton Park Poets had their time on the mic on September 14 when participants read some of the poems they’ve written at the workshops compiled in their one-year-anniversary chapbook after a line in intelijencia dame by Juan Ramón Jiménez Each writer got up there and read their poem as comfortably and confidently as they did at the workshop and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" View More View More OKLA (KTUL) — A

from the Yollocalli program at the National Museum of Mexican Art Mario Mena says he noticed a change among the students taking his street-art class at Yollocalli the youth outreach arm of the National Museum of Mexican Art Fewer were coming from the heavily Latino neighborhoods of Pilsen and Little Village So, when he got a chance to paint a mural on a building in Brighton Park, he saw it as a way to give a boost to a community where his students live worked with his students creating the mural on the building where Cook County Commissioner Alma Anaya’s office is popping an ollie on a skateboard and jumping on flower heads and sending sparkly pollen into the air holding a traditional Chicago three-story apartment building a two-story house and a one-story bungalow like the ones you see all over the Southwest Side “We’re trying to create a mural for the youth where they’re from,” Mena says “something that gives them that public entitlement to their neighborhood where they can pass by their families and have that story: ‘Hey Students who live in the community at work painting this mural in Brighton Park “We need public spaces for the community where we feel ownership over those spaces,” Mena says “We wanted to highlight the places we grew up living We grew up in multi-generational homes where you had three or four families living in one house Nothing encompasses the Southwest Side feeling like the bungalows.” Mena says he taught his students about how to work with a client on a project and how to plan a mural so it has real meaning They worked through questions like: What do we want in this piece They decided to spotlight nature because Brighton Park doesn’t have much public green space Mena says: “If it’s not attached to a school a two-story house and a one-story bungalow in this mural in Brighton Park Anaya says her favorite part of the mural at 4374 S are what at first seem to be fluttering dragonflies but people from around the neighborhood pulled

the ability to work and support herself and her new baby daughter Then the national early childhood education program taught her how to be a better mom one who could break the cycle of violence that pervaded Bahena’s own childhood growing up on the South Side Her Head Start counselors “saw something in me I didn’t see myself,” she said They urged Bahena to get herself to college to become a social worker she expects to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in social work from Northeastern Illinois University in May President Donald Trump’s administration seeks to kill Head Start next year as part of a large reduction in federal government programs and services Any hint that the child care program for low-income families may be in danger brings Bahena to tears I’m getting kind of emotional,” said the 28-year-old mom “Eliminating Head Start would keep families poor It would keep them uneducated and hungry … hungry for opportunities for quality of life.” who lives in Brighton Park with her partner and kids — ages 7 4 and 2 — is part of a coalition of Head Start graduates parents and child care providers assembling to fight for Head Start They want to preserve the funding of these early childhood education services that were founded 60 years ago to combat poverty about 75% of them in what Head Start deems as “quality” preschool centers More than 28,000 young children in Illinois are enrolled in the program at about 600 centers according to the Illinois Head Start Association which is coordinating efforts to barrage members of Congress Unlike Republicans’ prior failed efforts to shut down Head Start and redistribute funding to states this attempt occurs as Trump slashes federal spending and services including programs that Congress has already approved and funded Trump is proposing to eliminate all Head Start funding next year as part of massive cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services as several news outlets have recently reported which obtained a copy of the 64-page draft The federal government should not be in the business of mandating curriculum locations and performance standards for any form of education.” Neither the Office of Management and Budget nor the Department of Health and Human Services returned messages seeking comment According to “Project 2025,” the 900-page blueprint for the substantial restructuring of the federal government Trump has been following In January, a governmentwide funding freeze temporarily prevented some Head Start providers nationwide from making payroll. Then on April 1, Chicago-based staffers who worked for a range of federal programs aimed at helping struggling children and families were terminated Their office was one of five nationwide that was shuttered — in the “highest cost cities” as an Health and Human Services spokeswoman later said Nicole Robinson leads the YWCA Metropolitan Chicago which supports 1,600 child care providers primarily in Lake “When we decide to disinvest and defund children’s education we also disinvest and defund our workforce We limit our employee prospects and our leadership prospects and it just is a blow to the entire community,” said Robinson defunding or deinvesting in child care is a nonstarter We think it needs to be invested in more and expanded So people are at a place where we want to raise the alarm bell.” The sudden shuttering of the Chicago office prompted Democratic Illinois Sens Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth to co-sign a letter to Health and Human Services officials noting the “confusion and chaos” the cuts created and warned the impact will devastate the economy “if children fail to receive care child care staff lose their jobs and parents cannot go to work.” Bahena said she hopes stories like hers will resonate with lawmakers “It’s not that I don’t still struggle to like pay my bills because I’m a full-time student and a full-time parent and I’m going to school so I could get a better job “But I feel like I would be struggling in a very different way and I would have much less quality of life than I do now.” said her whole family has benefited from sending their

and west edges of the new plaza with the older building and California Avenue providing the other limits The primary entrance takes visitors into a two-story “super lobby” at the northwest leg of the L Waiting and reception areas on both levels overlook the plaza maintaining visual connections between patients and the community with the smaller exam rooms and offices that require privacy located

and another man were shot Tuesday night at Thorntons Fuel Station Two gas station employees were among three people shot Tuesday night in Brighton Park on the Southwest Side Four people were chasing a 25-year-old man in the 3400 block of South California Avenue when two of them began shooting at him and one of the gunmen followed and opened fire The man was shot in his abdomen and both legs He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition was shot in his mouth and taken to Mount Sinai in critical condition was shot in the back and taken to Mount Sinai in good condition Two suspects were seen on security footage dressed in all black one belonging to one of the injured employees’ girlfriends and one belonging to the intended target The gas station was temporarily closed as of 12:30 p.m and red-and-yellow caution tape blocked the parking lot The front door was boarded up with a sign apologizing for the closure A man who works nearby decried the violence and called on Mayor Brandon Johnson to do more to address gun violence and this is as bad as I’ve ever seen it in 53 years,” said the man When attempting to go downtown from the southwestern edges of the city by car this risky throughway is the only street that runs from city limits all the way to State Street you’d run into physical barriers: a street that dead-ends the sounds of traffic and speeding make it near-impossible to hold a conversation with long intervals between crosswalks (the proposals for changes include added pedestrian crossings) The design changes would update Archer Avenue from 47th Street to Western Avenue (the entire stretch running through Brighton Park) with amenities such as protected bike lanes and bus boarding islands making life safer and more feasible for many to use alternative modes of transit Dixon Galvez-Searle, a transportation advocate for Southwest Collective and lifelong local cyclist is hopeful that these changes would encourage a stronger sense of community between neighborhoods which is not far away…I could easily bike there if Archer was safer,” he said The sentiment in neighboring McKinley Park was similar. Kate Eakin, president of the McKinley Park Development Council pointed out that while the improvements technically end at the border of her neighborhood many residents “will use them to get to those everyday services that they need but that are just over the line” in Brighton Park.  and names traffic safety as one of the most important concerns to be addressed in the ward we had our first community meeting this summer and have asked the collective and CDOT to coordinate with us,” she said.  the community meeting was better-attended than most thanks in large part to outreach from community-based organizations like The Southwest Collective that have been raising awareness about the issue the responsibility will need to be shifted to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) While the stretch of Archer running through Brighton Park is under the jurisdiction of the city the portion running west of 47th Street and east of Western Avenue are under the state’s purview Many residents involved share the idea that these developments will put pressure on the state to continue this work along other parts of the Southwest Side.  Galvez-Searle said that though the proposed changes are a good start we have to get IDOT on board” to make the area truly accessible naming the importance of having the support of larger state departments and government agencies.  “Implementation occurs under city jurisdiction and we can see that it’s helping to reduce accidents and making it easier for people to walk and bike,” Eakin said “That will give us more leverage to put pressure on the state to do it on our section through McKinley Park.” but Ramirez said that she “did not feel comfortable enough to start the project with just one community meeting under our belt.” Some in the neighborhood have lingering concerns particularly those who use Archer as a way to commute An employee of Thomas Kelly High School who is a former Brighton Park resident said there’s so much traffic and it would really increase everyone’s time to get to work.”  Jose Manuel Almanza, Director of Advocacy and Movement Building for Equiticity highlighted the need to encourage greater dialogue between CDOT and the people who have such concerns The responsibility of doing this outreach falls to community-based organizations like Southwest Collective “We need to be investing in doing real outreach to get to the people that haven’t been at these meetings before and get their feedback and buy-in,” Almanza said “It takes a lot of work and effort and capacity to talk to people and walk the neighborhood [so we should] attach funding so that CBOs [community based organizations] are getting paid to do the hard work of getting community members to come to a meeting.”  after these changes are implemented and the resulting benefits are shown Eakin anticipates that they would have “more leverage to put pressure on the state to do it through McKinley Park.” As a longtime resident and activist in Brighton Park “The more that we can do to help people navigate the space between those neighborhoods the more we can connect those neighborhoods,” he said “Those are the kind of connections that we really want to be establishing was found unresponsive Thursday during a fire in the 4500 block of South Francisco Avenue A man was dead after an apartment fire early Thursday in Brighton Park on the Southwest Side was found unresponsive during the fire in the 4500 block of South Francisco Avenue The man was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where he died a Fire fatality resulted from a fire at 4529 S Francisco Fire Companies and Public Education will be on that block distributing smoke detectors and Fire safety literature today at 10:00 a.m Please check your smoke and CO detectors to ensure they are properly working Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information Brighton Park now owns a majority of the New York-based company, Kevin Magan, a partner at the investment firm, said in an interview.
