He had a great barbecue place in Evanston, Ill. A friend from Evanston honored Hecky, a community leader, who offered scholarships, mentoring and jobs to hundreds of young Evanstonians, &#8220;You can be anybody,&#8221; Powell told young black men from Evanston. &#8220;The reason we&#8217;re rated number one on the North Shore in Chicago is because I outwork everybody, and that&#8217;s the key. You got to outwork them, and you know something? It&#8217;s real simple these days to outwork somebody, because nobody wants to work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next time you\u2019re in Evanston and want great barbecue just ask the way to Hecky Powell Way.<\/p>\n<p>The Israelis continue to flout international law. In July the unity government will annex part of the west bank. This land grabbing against the Palestinians has gone on for decades. Who cares? Certainly not the U. S. Israel or the EU. Maumoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader, \u00a0has denounced the U. S. and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>On a brighter note, dear friends treated me to a birthday party. I was driven, sitting in the back seat with mask, to the upper west side where a feast was presented in the backyard on land once owned by Audubon. Don\u2019t I have wonderful friends???<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2549\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2549\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
