Report: The bane of black homeowners? Bad loans State Rep. Ford, real estate pros convene discussion on improving housing opportunities for blacks By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

A recent report, commissioned by National Association of Real Estate Brokers, shows that African-Americans still face significant barriers to homeownership. In particular, the report found that blacks have a harder time qualifying for conventional mortgages — a reality that forces them to obtain high-interest rate loans, many of which are exploitative. Even those blacks who qualify for conventional mortgages tend to pay more interest than their white counterparts, the report found. On Feb. 28, state Representative La Shawn K. Ford (8th) and the Dearborn Realtist Board, a group of African-American real estate professionals who have been fighting against barriers to black home ownership since 1941, convened a forum at Malcolm X College to discuss the report’s findings. Realtors, housing counselors, bankers and activists were invited to give their input and work toward developing solutions. According to the report — entitled, “2016 State of Housing in Black America” — black homeownership rates were at 41.2 percent in 2014, compared with 68.5 percent among non-Hispanic whites. The report attributed the disparity to the fact that blacks often have a harder time obtaining conventional mortgages, so they have to apply for loans with higher fees and stringent penalties.

Local chef eyes MLK apartments for eatery Skylar Dees wants to launch an ambitious new restaurant in North Lawndale By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Skylar Dees, a 26-year-old North Lawndale native and self-taught chef, has a dream. He’s trying to raise enough money to open an eatery and he has his eye on a

Local hospital wins award for mental health efforts By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Saint Anthony Hospital, located at 2875 W. 19th St. in North Lawndale, recently received an award for its work in mental health. The hospital was awarded the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois Healthy Community Award by Local Initiatives Support Corporation Chicago at the 23rd Annual Chicago Neighborhood Development Awards, held last month. In addition to recognizing the hospital’s mental health work, the award also acknowledges Saint Anthony’s efforts to address the overall wellness of residents in low- and moderate-income communities in the city. “This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team,” said Guy A. Medaglia, Saint Anthony’s president and CEO, in a statement. “We look forward to continuing and expanding our programs as part of the Focal Point community campus, designed to provide resources and opportunities to improve the well-being of Chicago’s west and southwest neighborhoods.” Meghan Harte, LISC Chicago’s executive director, said that the Chicago Neighborhood Development Awards “have celebrated

Chicago’s neighborhoods while honoring and recognizing the outstanding achievement in neighborhood real estate development, community engagement, neighborhood planning, and building stronger and healthier communities.” “Community development by definition is neither easy nor fast, but the people and organizations who do this work in our neighborhoods have succeeded in making progress,” she said. “It is our neighborhoods that provide the flavors and texture that make Chicago unique. At CNDA, we stop briefly to recognize and celebrate individual achievements and the communities that together we have created by design.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

Partnership brings autism awareness to West Side

The Answer Inc. and West Humboldt Park Development Council announce collaboration By LEE EDWARDS Contributing Reporter

Teamwork really can make the dream work. The Answer, Inc. and West Humboldt Park Development Council (WHPDC) hosted an autism awareness open house at the Salvation Army, 825 N. Christiana Ave., on March 1. The event represented the first collaboration for the two organizations. The purpose of the open house was to gather information about autism and special needs for local residents. The West Humboldt Park Development Council works collaboratively to develop, implement and sustain processes that improve the quality of life for people, families and businesses in the West Humboldt Park community, according to its website. The Answer Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support, resources, education, recreation and advocacy for families affected by autism and develop-

mental disorders. The partnership between The Answer, Inc., and WHPDC stems from the friendship between both agencies’ respective leaders: WHPDC’s executive director, Katrina Thompson, and The Answer, Inc.’s executive director, Debra Vines. The duo previously worked together on community projects in western suburbs. The Answer, Inc., which is based in suburban Forest Park, has set up a satellite office at WHPDC’s main office, 3620 W. Chicago Ave. Thompson explained if she and other likeminded individuals did not champion for autism awareness, it would be “out of sight, out of mind”. “I incorporated autism into our program because of the partnership and relationship that I have with Ms. Vines, so wherever I go, autism goes with me,” said Thompson. “We have limited resources, so I want to make sure that we offer all of the resources that we can possibly offer to people of color.” Through the partnership, The Answer, Inc. is now able to extend its reach beyond the suburbs. Vines said she felt “blessed” that Thompson invited her organization to be part of the WHDC. Providing autism-related resources and information to the African American community was one of the initial motivations behind the creation of The Answer Inc., said Vines.

She said it was difficult for her and her husband to find resources for their now 29-year-old autistic son. Vine’s response was to create an organization to help provide people of color with the answers on autism, and related mental disorders, that she and her husband had. That was 10 years ago. “We are working really hard not just to strengthen the mindsets of the families impacted but also the community agencies, leaders, legislators, businesses and everything across the board,” said Vines. Despite the scarcity of financial resources, The Answer Inc. will press onward, said Vines. The agency does not have in-house case workers, but refers individuals to various outlets. “Funding is an issue with everything right now,” said Vines. “We continue to work with our fundraisers and corporate sponsors to keep our doors open. Katrina told me this a long time ago: Just keep working and the money will come. I love what I do so much that sometimes it just doesn’t feel like work.” Life-long West Humboldt Park resident Estella Solid and her 8-year-old son, David, who is autistic, attended the open house in support of Vines. Solid said when she first met Vines, she told her, “You need to be on the West Side.” She gave God all the credit for Vines’ western migration. “I’m a part of the Answer Inc. family,” said

LEE EDWARDS/Contributor

DEEP ROOTS: The friendship between Katrina Thompson and Debra Vines goes way back. Now, they’re leveraging that bond in order to empower autistic families on the West Side. Solid. “I always try to help Debra out when needed.” Solid said there aren’t other resources similar to The Answer, Inc. on the West Side. “You can come to a family support meeting and cry and somebody understands your tears,” said Solid.

West Side commanders talk crime reduction

ENJOY THE GOOD LIFE

The heads of the 11th and 15th District say that establishing community trust is a priority By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Last month, Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) held a community meeting for his Austin, West Garfield Park and East Garfield Park constituents at the Malcolm X College’s West Side Learning Center, 4624 W. Madison. Chicago Police Department District 11 Commander Kevin Johnson and Lt. Ernest Cato, of the 15th District, talked about what they were doing to reduce crime, and what more could be done. Last November, Johnson and District 15 Commander Dwayne Betts gave a grim assessment of the year 2016, saying that they didn’t want to see another year like that. During the Feb. 21 meeting, the District 11 commander said that, so far this year, the violent crime has been decreasing. “The last couple of weeks, we’ve seen some downward trend,” he said. “But we still have a long way to go.” An analysis of police data shows a slight, but noticeable, decrease in violent crimes over the last three months in the 11th and 15th Districts. Johnson said that one the crime fighting measures his district has relied on is what’s called Strategic Situation Rooms. “This is basically combining cameras, gun sensing technology and some predictive policing,” Johnson said, adding that the predictive policing is the software that uses past crime data to determine where crime is more likely to occur. Officers are sent to those sports not just to stop crime, he explained, but also to engage with local residents. “To have police officers out there, engaged with the community, and be highly visible, can reduce crime,” Johnson said. The commander also said that the department has been able to clean up the 4400 block of West Monroe Street, which a DNAinfo reporter last December dubbed “the most dangerous block in Chicago” based on the number of shootings that happened on the block last year. “Last year, they said it was the most violent block in Chicago,’ Johnson said. “We really want to go block-by-block to see what we can do better.” The commander said that the number of car thefts has shot up in recent months. After a change in policy, officers no longer chase cars as aggressively as they used to — which, Johnson said, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. “We want to catch bad guys, but we don’t want to hurt the citizens in the process,”

PROGRESS REPORT: A representative for 15th District Commander Dwayne Betts touted the district’s reduction in crime. Johnson said. Johnson said that, for improved safety, it is vital for residents to work together with the police. He also stressed that the shortage of opportunities for young people needs to be addressed. “Some young men and women don’t have access to jobs,” he said. “Violence is a byproduct of everything else that’s going on. Hopefully, we can address some of those issues, and violence will be reduced.” Cato, who said he was at the meeting on Betts’ behalf, said that he grew up on the 4400 block of Monroe and was disheartened by the report. “All I can remember growing up was trees, block parties,” he said. “When it’s [described as] the most violent block, it hurts me.” The lieutenant said he agreed with Johnson about the positive trends, saying that something similar has been happening in District 15. Cato touted his district’s use of Strategic Anti-Violence Missions to reduce crime. The initiative involves the police putting more resources, officers and increasing infrastructure improvements in areas where it believes there is lots of potential for violence. Cato also said that CPD continues cracking down on businesses engaged in illegal practices, such as selling tobacco and marijuana to underage children. Cato added that the 15th District has also revived the Boy Scouts and the Police Explorers program. “[Crime] is a community and police problem,” Cato said. “If we don’t come together, there is nothing that can be done.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

Fitness entrepreneurs break the mold

Adryenne and Derek Hearne are the state’s first and only Orangetheory Fitness franchisees By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

Black History Month may be over, but Adryenne Hearne is still living it. Hearne, 40, and her brother, Derek, 37, are the first, and so far the only, African Americans in Illinois to own Orangetheory Fitness franchises. They opened their first one, located at 7121 W. North Ave. in Oak Park, in March 2015 — just as the Orangetheory Fitness brand appeared to be in the lift-off phase. The fitness company, which premises its rigorous workouts on clients’ heart-rates, was founded as a single health club in 2009 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company now boasts 600 studios across the country and revenue last year of $450 million. This year, it plans to open another 300 studios, according to Crain’s. Since opening their first studio in Oak Park, the Hearnes now have locations in the Will County suburb of Frankfort and the South Loop in Chicago. A fourth location, planned for Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, is on the way. But one shouldn’t be taken in completely by the Hearnes’ 21st Century success story. This is still black history and certain struggles do

We got all the way to sign on the dotted line and all of a sudden, the deal was pulled. That happened twice.”

“Martin Luther King came to North Lawndale to fight slums,” he said. “It’s in direct comparison to what exists right now.”

from page 1 lege Prep high school, said that he started cooking when he was a kid. He’s been doing it ever since. “I was cooking for a very large family,” he recalled. “I cooked for my cousins and things like that. Then, I went to college and I cooked for roommates all the time.” In 2014, he took part in the culinary training program at A Safe Haven, a North Lawndale nonprofit. Deeds did well enough to get a job at the organization. He worked for A Safe Haven for two years, starting out as a cook and working his way up to kitchen manager. In September 2016, he became an instructor at Inspiration Kitchens, an East Garfield Park nonprofit that teaches the homeless and the poor culinary skills in order to help them get jobs. Around the same time, he was taking classes at North Lawndale’s New Covenant Community Development Corporation’s entrepreneurship center. Dees would eventually leverage the skills he gained during those years to strike out on his own. Last September, he quit his job and

Hearne said that she gelled with the owner of her current location, a minority, in a way that she didn’t with the proprietors of those two locations that mysteriously evaded her grasp. The way things panned out, however, proved to be felicitous. Their Oak Park location is great for her

clients, Adryenne said. It doesn’t feature quite the congestion and lack of parking that plagues certain main thoroughfares like Lake Street and it’s right at the intersection of Oak Park, River Forest and Elmwood Park — the communities that account for roughly 80 percent of the Oak Park club’s revenue, she added. The former regional sales manager for a large medical device sales company, Hearne said that, as an African American woman, she’s had to fight for credibility in the corporate world. “People don’t expect you to be a boss,” she said. “It’s the same thing in other industries,” she said. “You have to have a more successful track record than other people because sometimes they don’t really take you seriously.” Her advice for young history makers? “Dream big but figure out exactly what that means,” she said. “If you dream big, you’ve got to know as much as you can. Know everything it takes to accomplish that goal. Are there other people who are successful at what you want to do? If so, you can be mentored by them.” That’s advice that she would also give her younger self, she said. “I made a few mistakes,” Adryenne said. “My first location in Oak Park was underfunded and I had to find a way to make it happen. Fortunately, I did, but that’s only because I stayed in the corporate world for so long and had established myself financially that I could [afford to make that mistake]. If I had just jumped into this, it would have been a complete disaster. Always have an end-game in mind. Plan. And execute.” CONTACT: michael@oakpark.com

hasn’t looked back. He said that cooking for hundreds of people at A Safe Haven prepared him for the demands of catering. After he posted a handsome profit catering an engagement party, he realized the financial potential to be had with independence. Dees approached Ald. Michael Scott (24th) to see if there was any space in North Lawndale where he could permanently set up shop. The alderman recommended the MLK Legacy Apartments, an affordable housing project built on the site of an apartment building where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

and his family moved to in 1966 to campaign for better housing conditions. Dees thought the location was fitting. “Martin Luther King came to North Lawndale to fight slums,” he said. “It’s in direct comparison to what exists right now.” The building is owned by the Lawndale Christian Development Corporation. Dees said he took part in the organization’s North Lawndale College Opportunity Program and he got to know the LCDC’s executive director, Richard Townsell, who agreed to let Dees use a commercial space in MLK apartments. Dees, however, still needs to raise money to install a kitchen and retail area. “It’s going to be a very modern space,” he said. “Sort of similar to [Kusanya Cafe in Englewood], but not as rustic. Very modern, clean, updated — not a slum. It’s going to be very nice, compared to what you see at convenience stores or chicken shacks.” In fact, Dees said he was looking to push back against what he sees as common ex-

perience shoppers and diners often face in North Lawndale and other majority-black neighborhoods. “The problem with a lot of businesses in our community is that they’re not investing to look modern or to be nice or to change the dynamic,” he said. “Aggressive security is not a good business practice. You get the same thing for everybody. [My business would be] the total opposite of that — new, modern, fresh, welcoming and inviting.” Earlier this month, Dees launched a GoFundMe campaign (https://www.gofundme. com/skyler-dees-catering-company) to raise the funds to implement his dream. As of March 3, he raised $1,047 out of the $14,600 he hopes to raise over the next two to three months. Dees said that he’s exploring alternatives, such as community development loans and micro-lending programs that he’ll consider if he doesn’t raise enough money through the GoFundMe campaign.

VIEW points

Guess who’s coming to visit?

watched President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress last week. Just prior to ascending to the podium, he paused for a second to speak with both Congressmen Bobby Rush and Danny Davis. Later the news reported that Rush invited Trump to come to Chicago and that the president has agreed. So I want to put in my two cents prior to that visit. First and foremost, Trump will be an invited guest. Thus our overzealous “activists” are free to protest by peacefully assembling, but they are not free to impose themselves in any attempts to disrupt or break up the meeting. The President comes with resources and we don’t need anyone to prevent the meeting/ visit from occurring just so that they can get facetime on television for acting out. We are in serious need here in Chicago and those who like to perform before the cameras are not the outcome we need or seek. Whether we get a Marshall Plan (used to aid in the recovery of Europe following WWII) or a WPA (Works Progress Administration, used to aid in the recovery of America following the Great Depression), black America and the inner cities of this country are in dire need of a program to kick-start our recovery from decades of economic woes. And whatever kind of campaign this country eventually gets, it needs to address the 4 E’s: education, employment, economics, and ex-offenders. Fortunately we have a president who has already addressed many of these issues and more in his “New Deal for Black America.” It is a 10-point plan where he has laid out his ideology. The plan was first introduced in October 2016 just prior to the election. I won’t go over all 10 points, but highly

recommend that folks take the time to find it on the internet and read it. I also hope the elected officials who do meet with Trump understand that we need a real plan and not the normal “publicity and then nothing happens.” The ages of those doing many of the shootings and the ages of the victims prove that our current crisis is urgent. We have had so many failed plans that adding another to the basket will be the “straw that breaks the camel’s back.” We also don’t need to allow the current deportation of folks who shouldn’t be in this country to begin with to derail the meeting or outcome. Their issue is really not our issue and it murkies the water to even allow it. They are not suffering an unemployment issue and we cannot truthfully attempt to rescue them as we ourselves drown. I also hope the Trump administration reaches out to the real activists who have ideas and plans that can jump-start a recovery among those who need it the most. Trump has repeatedly reached out to the black community. Some of our issues were specifically mentioned in the speech he gave. The question then becomes, “What is the deal-breaker?” Is the emphasis going to be on how he says it or what he says? Can the money, jobs and opportunities come from a man with an “R” (for Republican) behind his name or do we only accept the help if a Democrat does it? Will a Trump success mean that Democrats may lose their guaranteed black folks’ vote and thus want to sabotage our recovery even though in Chicago our demise has totally been at the hands of Democrats? Trump’s visit awaits and I wait to learn the outcome.
