Flowers Fitness Club wins $500K grant to train youth

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

Roy Flowers started Flowers Fitness Club at Austin Boxing Club last August, but the idea for a program “to help the inner-city youth to get of f the street,” Flowers said, started much earlier than that.

Flowers, who was born and raised in Austin, re gistered Flowers Fitness Club in 2021 after opening Flowers Unisex Salon, 5106 W. Chicago Ave., and hearing his community discuss aspects of physical and mental health that he wanted to work toward addressing.

“There’s a lot of high blood pressure, undiagnosed mental health and undiagnosed pre-diabetes

The new location expands programming and ser vices for kids and their families on the West Side

In

early 2000s, Nakisha Hobbs was living in Austin and a graduate student at the University of Illinois Chicago. She was also pregnant and searching for a quality early education program that would eventually prepare her first child for kindergarten.

“There wasn’t a program that we really felt like would meet the needs that we had for Jakya, my oldest daughter,”

Hobbs said.

Hobbs’ mother, Gwendolyn Harris, taught at Nash Elementary School in Austin, as well as at a Chicago Public School middle school. She saw many children who were still struggling with reading as they prepared for high school, Hobbs said. It was something

Wecycle cleans up for the 4th straight year

Austin locals clean stretches of Division, Central, Chicago avenues

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

Over 50 community members joined Wecycle founder David Fleming, Saturday, for the fourth year of spring street cleaning in Austin.

Locals gathered at 11 a.m. at 5922 W. Division St. They headed east to North Central Avenue, then south to West Chicago Avenue The group finished at 5840 W. Chicago Ave.

Participants filled over thirty 50-pound trash bags with garbage and debris from the street. They used nearly a gallon of Windex to wash storefront windows. And at the end of the route, they celebrated

their ef for ts with an Easter egg hunt and lots of food. Chef Gene’s BBQ provided hamburgers and hot dogs. Schweet Original Homemade Chicago Cheesecake donated cheesecake cupcakes, and Coleman’s donated chicken wings and rib tips.

Volunteers and sponsors for the event included the Austin African American Business Networking Association, the Arthur Lockhart Resource Institute, the Chicago Austin Chamber of Commerce, Changing the View, Westside Health Authority, and Y Bank. Fleming thanked aldermen Emma Mitts and Chris Taliafer ro, the 15th District police precinct and district council, BarStar Carmen, Camille Van Michael, DLV Printing, DJ Lipgloss, and Blacktivism Solutions.

“We’re proud that we’re on the fourth year, and it looks great for the fifth,” Fleming said of the annual Wecycle street cleaning event. “We’re not going to stop.”

in the community,” said Flowers, a licensed barber of 22 years. But he also listened to his clients talk about violence in Austin. “We discuss how to be part of the solution because a lot of people are a part of the problem, some are a part of the solution, and some just move away.”

On Tuesday, the Flowers Fitness Club program hosted State Rep. La Shawn Ford at Austin Boxing Club, 5915 W. Division St., as he presented the program with a $500,000 grant for its mentoring and violence prevention. To celebrate, the boxing gym hosted at least 100 people, but continued “business as usual,” Flowers said, with trainers coaching boxers, before Ford took a few minutes to present over a dozen boxers with achievement certificates for participating consistently since the business opened

“People were walking in to sign up,” Ford said in an interview with the Austin Weekly News. “I want to do everything I can to help fund it because, for a long time, most of the push in the Black community has always been basketball.”

“We thank State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford

for being supportive of the program,” Flowers said.

The grant will go toward Flowers Fitness Club’s rent, staff salaries, equipment and programs. Flowers and his wife, Nina Flowers, who handles the business’ paperwork, hope to start monthly financial literacy classes for young adults who attend the gym.

“You’d be shocked by the number of people, not only in the Austin community, I’m sure there are other communities as well, who don’t have life insurance or know how to start buying a house or even have a savings account,” Flowers said. He also has goals to bring in doctors to hold classes to talk about health.

Ford said Flowers Fitness Club plans to connect with schools, many of which he said have grants for after-school programs. Instead of playing board games and video games or having free reign of the gym, a boxing trainer could come to schools and teach students some of the basics.

Flowers Fitness Club currently has around 200 people enrolled, including children as young as five years old, teenagers and adults. Some of the older participants have fought in the Golden Gloves. The program offers free classes for children every Tuesday through Thursday at 6 p.m., and at 7 p.m. for adults.

But “it’s more than just boxing,” Flowers said. Flowers Fitness Club has a policy

where its visitors can’t use their phones and requires students to have grades above a certain level. If grades slip, Flowers Fitness Club addresses the issue, talking and working with kids to solve it. This mentoring has improved many students’ performance in the classroom.

“They have the full attention of these young people,” Ford said of Flowers Fitness Club.

“They’re more focused in school, according to some of the parents,” Flowers said of his participants’ growth. One teenager, he added, stopped smoking marijuana because it hindered his cardio. “A lot of times when people take care of themselves from an emotional health and mental aspect, they tend to do a little better in life,” Flowers added, citing himself as an example.

“I made some mistakes in my younger days,” he said. But Flowers started recreationally weightlifting in the 1990s and, at age 51, has been an amateur boxer for nearly a decade.

“If we want to address violence in our community effectively, we have to make sure our youth have healthy outlets to expend their energ y,” Ford said in a statement. “This boxing program allows them to learn the sport, meet new friends, and develop healthy living habits. I look forward to seeing them and the coaches working hard to help them and our community.”

Remodeling permits can pay for the homeless

Mayor Brandon Johnson’s bid to add a transaction tax on real estate sales of more than a million dollars failed. Yay! The “Bring Home Chicago” initiative proposed by the mayor was supposed to bring in millions to help the homeless. Now this is the mayor who spent millions on so-called “migrants” and that money lasted a few months. So why would anybody in their right mind let him get millions more ?

I have nothing against trying to help the homeless. A lot of folks forget that Madison and Halsted streets used to be “Skid Row.” Back then, people could get a room to sleep in for a reasonable cost. But this city in its infinite wisdom has eliminated a lot of those locations Remember when Uptown had lots of inexpensive SROs? Just like the transformation of CHA, they got people out of the way, but they had no plans as to where they should go. So when the people ended up on the streets, now the city wants to tax us additional monies to pay for the mess it created.

I have a suggested a real estate transfer tax that the city should look into. I’m an avid follower of real estate offerings. And when I see a re gular bungalow that says it has six bedrooms, two and a half bathroom that’s a war ning flag. The house has been remodeled, most likely without a pe by a developer, whose skills at doing it

are probably questionable. The remodeler makes significant cosmetics changes to make the house look pretty, while ignoring other changes that probably need to occur. Like increasing the electrical input into the house. Or updating the heating and air-conditioning situation to accommodate the changes to the air flow within the house. And the illegal addition of a bathroom up in the attic might be problematic should there be a water leak.

The city doesn’t get revenue when remodels are done and changes made without a permit. I know someone it for new windows and door and did a complete gut rehab. Calls to the city inspector to investigate were wasted as the city inspectors are not vigilant. However, at the point of sale when that real estate transfer is going to occur, that is when the city can realize a boatload of money. Because if the legal description of the house (based on records from the Cook County Assessor’s Office) doesn’t match the real estate listing being sold, a huge fine ag ainst the seller can be at will happen in essence, is that the seller will pull those permits to oid the fines at closing.

venue from permits r purchased can be used to help the homeless. Now it’s a win-win for r and the neighborhood!

FOR OVER A CENTURY, Cantata has been helping seniors live their best lives

ABrookfield community fixture for more than 100 years, the not-for-profit Cantata campus offers a range of living options set within the quiet privacy of a scenic 10-acre forested preserve, yet remains readily accessible to the greater Chicago area.

“With Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Support, Skilled Rehab and Long-Term Care, we are here to help our residents navigate the progression of their entire life journey, whatever it looks like and whatever they need,” said Cantata’s resident services director Lesya Shoorgot.

Residents can choose where to enter the Cantata system with the ability to transition between levels of care as their health and preferences evolve. The Independent Living apartments provide residents with a sense of freedom and opportunities for socialization with friends and neighbors.

“It’s a great environment to start your retirement in,” Shoorgot said. “Caregiving support is available for an additional fee at the Independent Living level. Later, if your care requirements start to change, our Assisted Living approach is unique in that you can still maximize your independence in your own apartment with assistance available only as much as you need it.”

Assisted Living residents can choose from private one or two-bedroom apartment options and remain free to set their own daily schedules and leave the campus at will.

“When you do need help with bathing, dressing or medications, we’re there at the touch of a button,” Shoorgot said. “There’s no caregiver in the room with you all day long. Our residents are able to maintain their privacy but still have immediate access to additional care whenever they want it.”

Between Independent Living and Assisted Living, Cantata manages 150 apartments on the property with changing availability and serves meals in restaurant-style dining rooms.

“All of our food is made fresh in-house daily — soups and starters, two entrees and a dessert,” Shoorgot said.

“Many of our residents love the fact that they don’t have to worry about cleaning up or doing the dishes after they eat!”

A variety of life-enrichment programs — including games, movie screenings, craft activities, music, shopping trips, restaurant visits and religious services — create

a full, well-rounded experience for Cantata residents.

“Our most popular activity is an instructor-led exercise class each morning after breakfast,” Shoorgot said. “Linda Sokol Francis Brookfield Library leads a book club here, and we have RBHS students visit to do activities with our residents as well. It’s always fun to see the different generations coming together and having a good time.”

A dedicated staff of employees who truly care about the residents they serve are one of the reasons for Cantata’s longevity. Some have been with the organization for as long as 25 years.

“We have a real passion for the work we do, our residents and their families,” Shoorgot said. “We’ve been around long enough to become experts in the industry. The aging process isn’t onesize-fits-all; it’s unique and different for each person. We’re here to help every step of the way.”

When Parents Say ‘No’ to Home Care Because of Cost Worries

By Tia Harrison, Home Instead® Oak Park, IL

Most aging adults want to remain in their homes as they age. Those of us in the home care industry have heard this time and again, and it’s an opinion confirmed by research.

According to a study commissioned by Home Instead, Inc., for the Home Instead® network, 86 percent of seniors want to live at home for as long as possible. But many older adults need help to achieve that goal.

In fact, as individuals age, some form of care is often necessary to remain at home. There generally are two types of home care:

• Home health care provided by licensed medical professionals for which the individual has received an order or prescription from a healthcare provider.

• In-home care such as personal care, homemaker or companionship services provided by professional caregivers.

Cost can be a concern for many aging adults. Perhaps you have these apprehensions yourself or your aging parents have expressed this worry. But home care can help older adults stay independent and home longer, and cost doesn’t need to be a roadblock.

Not only could home care allow your parents to remain at home, services are designed to be flexible and geared to their needs. For example, Home Instead provides at-home care and companionship support for aging adults from four hours a day to 24-7 support. Services span the care continuum – from providing personal care to specialized Alzheimer’s care and hospice support.

Because home care services, both home health and in-home care, are often only required for a few days a week, the savings to aging adults can be significant. A Home Instead, Inc. study indicates approximately 20 percent of the Home Instead network’s clients employ Care Professionals for an average of 12 hours per week. Depending on the level of care needed, home care has the potential to save thousands of dollars a month compared to other options.

Coming home to Austin

her mother thought could be addressed before kindergarten, when she taught her kids to read.

So, with their friend Anita AndrewsHutchinson, Hobbs and Harris opened It Takes a Village in 2004 at 4020 W. Division St. in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood to offer quality education to children from birth through age five in a culturally empowering environment.

“We wanted to create a program that was truly culturally sensitive, culturally responsive, and also culturally empowering, and we wanted to implement a curriculum that did all of that,” Hobbs said. She lists examples of Spanish language immersion, karate, music and art opportunities, as “the type of early learning experiences that are traditionally reserved for more affluent families.”

“

We want Austin to become the best place in the city of Chicago to raise children.”

NAKISHA HOBBS

It Takes a Village

What started as a West Side school quickly expanded throughout Chicago to equip children and their families with skills and resources to advocate for themselves.

In April, It Takes a Village will open its fifth location at 5719 W. Chicago Avenue in Austin, four blocks away from where Hobbs grew up. The location is also where Hobbs’ daughter attended an early childhood education program at age two before switching to It Takes a Village, when it opened in Humboldt Park. Hobbs’ other three children also attended It Takes a Village schools

“What we really want to do as an organization is improve both health and academic outcomes for children in the Austin community,” Hobbs said. “We want Austin to become the best place in the city of Chicago to raise children.”

A ribbon cutting for the most recent location was scheduled for Wednesday. It Takes a Village invited some of its funding partners, like the Illinois Department of Human Services, the Illinois State Board of

Education, as well as local legislator profits and social service providers. But construction on Chicago would restrict pa opening to late April, though Hobbs said the Chicago Avenue location will likely start serving children in about two weeks and already has a waitlist.

“Most of our growth up until this point has been pretty organic,” Hobbs said. But in the last 18 months or so, she added, It Takes a Village has focused on expanding to Austin and communities on the West Side, where it be g an.

When It Takes a Village first opened in 2004, it served 47 children and their families, many of them from Austin and Humboldt Park Through its membership with the Austin Childcare Providers Network, It Takes a Village collaborated with home childcare providers in Austin to grow the number of involved families, a practice they continue to expand their reach.

“The rest of the children primarily came from our re putation of delivering on our mission to develop and deliver those highquality, early childhood services, as well as comprehensive support to f amilies,” Hobbs said. This support takes the form of social services that address physical,

ity, It Takes a Village opened a second location next door. Then around 15 years ago, the owner of Chicago-based Marc Realty reached out. He had acquired a building in Chicago’s South Loop and wanted to bring high-quality early education programming there.

Also around this time, parents were asking It Takes a Village to expand its services into elementary school, but the school didn’t have enough space. So, at 800 S. Wells, Marc Realty built out a space for around 250 children from birth through age five — a recently opened location at 1020 S. Wabash Ave. serves as overflow — along with elementary school classrooms for another 200 kids from kindergarten to eighth grade.

“There’s a really high need because there are tons of lower income families coming from across the city into the South Loop looking for that programming,” Hobbs said.

“We’ve raised some really amazing children who are not only amazing academically, but they are also folks who are committed to their communities,” Hobbs said. They are people, “who have been involved in a number of campaigns over the years that are designed around enhancing or improving the quality of life for all Chicago residents, but definitely for residents on the South and West Sides of the city.”

In addition to filling a gap in early education services, It Takes a Village also works to train early childhood educators through workforce development. The organization offers programs and apprenticeships to everyone from those getting their first credentials in early childhood education to those getting bachelor’s de grees and professional educator licenses.

Those looking to enroll their child at It Takes a Village should visit https:// itavschools.org/resources/enroll/.

The demand is so great that It Takes a Village is opening a kindergarten through 12th grade, nine-acre campus in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood. The South Loop’s serves around 1,500 children. But with its ambitious expansion plans, the organization anticipates scaling that number to 5,000 in the next five years.
