Austin pastor pleads guilty to food program fraud Rev. Robbie and Tasha Wilkerson, and three co-defendants, allegedly pocketed $450K for personal expenses By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

A pastor, his wife and three associates who were charged in September 2015 with defrauding a federal summer food program for low-income children out of roughly $450,000 pleaded guilty to multiple charges earlier this year. According to a statement released by the Department of Justice on May 30, Rev. Robbie Wilkerson, 49, the founding pastor of New Birth Christian Center in Austin, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering. Wilkerson’s wife, Tasha, 44, pleaded guilty to theft of government funds. Three of the Oak Park couple’s associates— Downers Grove pastor Anthony Hall, 54; Richard Shumate, 51, and a program operations manager for the food program; and his wife, Evelyn Shumate, 48, who was an assistant for the program—each pleaded guilty to one count of theft of government funds. According to a 2015 indictment, Wilkerson filed paperwork in 2010 for New Birth to administer the Summer Food Service Program, which is offered by an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The pastor submitted an operating budget of $446,440 to the Illinois State Board of Education, which administered funding for the federal food program at the state level. But by the time the program had ended, the indictment claimed, Wilkerson and his co-defendants had allegedly made $700,000 worth of false claims. See GUILTY PLEA on page 9

HARVEST TIME: West Side entrepreneur Marseil Jackson, founder of Rental Harvest, which may be the nation’s only blackowned rent reporting service. The company allows renters to integrate their rent payments into their credit histories.

Businessman wants renters to reap what they sow By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

According to a December 2016 study produced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an estimated 26 million people in the U.S. don’t have credit histories with any of the three national credit reporting companies. Less than three months ago, Leonard Dew, 46,

was among them. “I had never in my life used credit,” said Dew, an auto mechanic who owns a body shop. “When I was younger, I had child support to pay and once they run your credit and see you got child support nobody wants anything to do with you. So I always paid cash — for everything.” Two months ago, Dew overheard West Side businessman Marseil Jackson,

29, talking to a mutual friend of theirs about a new company Jackson had started called Rental Harvest, which allows renters to build their credit histories by applying the past two years of rent payments to their credit reports. In order to apply for the service, landlords or property managers are required to verify the

Transforming a retaining wall into a dreamscape

Interns install a dreamy mural at Lake and Central By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

For years, the railway retaining wall at the corner of Lake Street and Central Avenue in Austin was an unadorned slab of concrete holding up rail track. This summer, however, the wall has become the stuff of dreams. Roughly 20 young people from Austin and Oak Park worked for three weeks on a mural whose design they said was inspired by the aspirations and hopes of area residents. “When we first came out here, we asked people questions involving dreams,” said Erica Wallace, 19, of Oak Park. “We asked them what they would like to see and what was on their mind at the time.” Wallace was among the 16- to 19-yearold interns, some of whom are currently studying art in college, who participated in the Oak Park Area Arts Council’s annual Off the Wall summer internship program, which ran from June 13 through Aug. 5. Professional artist Carolyn Elaine, who oversaw the mural’s design, said there was some initial trepidation among students who don’t live in Austin about how residents of the area might perceive their presence. “When you’re doing public art, you want to be the voice of the community,” Elaine said last Friday as the young people put the finishing touches on the mural. “So when you’re coming into a community that’s not your voice, there are concerns.” Elaine, who also oversaw the installation of a mural under the viaduct at Austin Boulevard and Lake Street in Austin for Off the Wall last summer, invited the students to talk to community members and to question their own experiences and dreams, and how they perceive the experiences and dreams of those in other communities. “We asked ourselves, ‘What is it like when you live in your own bubble and what is it like to have to live in someone else’s bubble?’ We encouraged them to look at the dreams

and aspirations of people who live on both sides [of Austin Boulevard],” Elaine said. The mural is rich in symbolism — a woman seems to be emerging from a chrysalis (“Is she escaping reality to go into a dream state or escaping a dream for a reality?” Elaine mused) and a butterfly depicts transformation or renewal. Derrell Little, 16, of Austin, said this was his first year participating in the Off the Wall program. From now on, he said, he’ll feel empowered when he walks by this slab of concrete he helped transform into what 19-year-old Oak Park native Joey Oldach, who is going to college for interior design, called a “complement” to the Austin Town Hall community center right across the street. “When I walk past this, I’ll feel part of it,” Little said. “I’ll know I did something to better my community.” Zaria Gilmore, 21, of Austin, studies art history at Triton College in River Grove. Before her internship with Off the Wall, she used to work down the block from this mural. “I think that a lot of people who pass here every day will appreciate having some fresh artwork up like how Oak Park has on its walls,” said Gilmore, who is also an artist. “I think it’s a good thing and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from residents.” As for her dreams? Those are practical. “I just want to be happy and stable,” she said.

Citywide project to fund art installations on West Side The work of photographer Dorrell Creightney will become public art as part of the program By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks

The 37th Ward is developing new art projects on Chicago Avenue and at other major intersections as part of a $1 million citywide initiative designed to fund the installation of public artwork in each of the city’s 50 wards. “Cities that are culturally alive and thriving are the cities that are succeeding,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said last month when he announced 34 individuals and groups selected by 36 aldermen for the 50×50 Neighborhood Arts Project. The project calls on each of the 50 aldermen to allocate at least $10,000 of their $1.3 million menu money—an annual fund used for neighborhood infrastructure enhancement—to install sculptures, murals and other public art this summer and fall. The 50×50 Neighborhood Arts Project is part of the Year of Public Art – a citywide celebration of Chicago’s arts legacy and future, which will also include a series of exhibitions and events throughout the year. “This 50 x 50 features art projects is in every ward, not just downtown or on the lakefront,” Emanuel told about 100 artists, city officials and reporters during an event earlier this summer. The project is also marking the 50th anniversary of two iconic art pieces – the Picasso in Daley Plaza and the Wall of Respect, which once stood at the corner of 43rd Street and Langley Avenue. Among 270 artists across the city who applied to be part of the initiative, 157 have been placed on the pre-qualified list, said Mark Kelly, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. “What’s exciting about this initiative is it’s something more organic and authentic, street artists being honored and celebrated in every ward of the city,” Kelly said, adding he expects the public arts to become Chicago’s “defining feature.” Chicago has more than 500 public art pieces installed in CTA stations, park districts and on main streets, with almost 40 on the lakefront alone, according to the Chicago Tribune. Fourteen aldermen are still in the process of finalizing projects in their wards, including Ald. Chris Taliaferro, whose 29th Ward covers much of Austin. Some artists will complete projects in multiple wards, with each ward having a typical budget ranging from $10,000 to $30,000. The

cultural affairs department will match the menu funds dollar for dollar. So far, projects being installed on Chicago’s West Side include a photograph wall at one of the major intersections in the area and a banner at the corner of Chicago Avenue and Karlov Avenue. The two projects, selected by Ald. Emma Mitts in the 37th Ward, are commissioned by Dorrell Creightney Photography and Industry of the Ordinary. Both are working with the alderman on the specifics and logistics, including how much money they will get from the $1.3 million aldermanic fund. “We are right now discussing with the alderman about the location for the installation,” said Vanessa Stokes, managing director of Dorrell Creightney Photography and daughter of the late Austin resident and advertising photographer. The three options are the intersection of Laramie Avenue and Lake Street, an area next to Chicago Avenue and Cicero Avenue, and the intersection of Grand Avenue and Laramie Avenue. “We’ll have images printed on vinyl to be installed on the walls,” Stokes said, adding the project will feature two to four black and white photographs taken by Creightney throughout his life. The images are very likely to be focused on Creightney’s street photography, especially those that document the lives and work of Chicago musicians, Stokes said. “My father is a very versatile photographer,” said Stokes, who manages Creightney’s archive with her sister Samantha and her mother Maxine. Dorrell Creightney, who died in 2011 at the age of 75, was the first black artist who owned a photography studio in Chicago. He’s known for pictures of models, fashion, nudes, landscapes and Chicago jazz greats. The photograph wall will be the first permanent project developed by Dorrell Creightney Photography, she said. The project is an opportunity to preserve Creightney’s art in Austin and to change the narrative of the West Side, Stokes said. “We want to show positive images of black people and black lives in a black community,” she said, adding they hope to complete the installation by September. “There are positive things in our community.” The voices of the underserved communities should be heard, said Adam Brooks, who formed the Industry of the Ordinary with English artist Mathew Wilson in 2003. The team, currently based in Chicago, is developing a multi-part project in the 37th Ward that includes a 10-foot by 12-foot banner at the corner of Chicago Avenue and Karlov Avenue; a recorded oral history of the neighborhood; and a day-long performance on Sept. 16, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Silent Funny space, 4106 W.

RENTAL HARVEST New growth from page 1 rental payments. For a one-time reporting fee of $99.95 and an additional $14.95 a month for a monthly subscription — which entails the company reporting ongoing rental payments and offering assistance with resolving past rental issues — Dew might be able to come into the light at last. Initially, he said, the prospect sounded too good to believe. But as with many of Jackson’s clients, the serial entrepreneur’s pedigree allowed Dew to take a leap of faith. The mechanic and father of three adults said so far it has been worth the risk. “My credit went from zero to 699,” he said. “I’m getting older. I got three kids who graduated from college — one’s a lawyer and the others are probation officers. I want to start living now and establish some credit.” Jackson is helping Dew turn his fresh credit score into more opportunities. When new customers sign up, Jackson said, they can also benefit from the company’s range of subsidiary services, such as regular financial literacy workshops, among other forms of continuing support and consultation. “Leonard owns a body shop and now he’s interested in opening up a car dealership,” Jackson said. “I’ve been connecting him with people I know to help him get it done.” Dew spoke about his past one afternoon late last month, on the other end of Jackson’s speaker phone, as Jackson sat at a large wooden conference table inside of the expansive office of his business partner, Eric Strickland. Jackson and Strickland occupy a large office suite within a building that was once part of the former Sears, Roebuck and Company Complex in North Lawndale. On one end, Jackson focuses on building credit and on the other, Strickland focuses on returning this once-famous part of Homan Square back to its former glory. “Rent is the largest portion of what people spend every month of their lives and to be able to utilize that source as a tool to build credit just made economic sense to me,” said Strickland, the former executive director of the Lawndale Business and Local Development Corporation. Strickland, an economic development consultant who had a major role in the development of the Lofts on Arthington — a 181-apartment complex across the street from his office — said he’s also working with Jackson to develop a national audience for Rental Harvest. “The name is biblical,” Jackson said. “When I was coming up with a name for the company, I thought about how we sow seeds every month paying our rent, but we don’t receive a harvest for it. The Bible talks about seed time and harvest. We help our customers reap a harvest when they sow that rental seed each month.”

Eyeing an opportunity Jackson has been able to alleviate the natural skepticism of many would-be clients by the sheer force of his storied past. He’s been self-employed since he was 15 years old, when he started his first business, an online retail store called Off the Radar Discount. At 16, he attracted his first investor, a New York attorney, who gave him $10,000 for one of his ideas. Christian Lewis, 35, is Jackson’s insurance broker and a Rental Harvest customer. Lewis said his credit score jumped from 512 to 674 after his rental payments were applied to his credit history. “When I first heard Marseil tell me about the idea, I absolutely believed it. I had no doubt,” Lewis said as he stood in Jackson’s North Lawndale office, waiting to star in a promotional video that Jackson’s team was shooting. “There are a few people who, when you talk to them, you kind of have to do background checks,” Lewis added. “I don’t believe [Jackson] would be able to do business for as long as he has in Chicago if he wasn’t [upstanding].” Ditto for Darnell Harmon and Fabian Smith. Harmon, 51, is a West Side insurance broker whose score jumped from somewhere in the mid-500s to 620 within three weeks. He said he plans on using his increased credit score to purchase a building and refinance his car. “I was skeptical about it at first because a lot of people have scams, but since I knew Marseil really well, I was willing to give him a try,” Harmon said. “I’ve even told other people about this.” Smith said his credit jumped from the low 600s to 771. He’s now looking at buying a three-flat on the West Side and has been approved for low-interest credit cards. He’s also looking to start his own trucking company. “Everybody is skeptical, considering all of the scams and the people who’ve been ripped off these days, but the person who referred me to Marseil is a decent person,” Smith said. “When she referred me, I was sold.” Jackson describes himself as a serial entrepreneur (“I start a business. I sell it. I start another one. If one fails, I shut it down.”). “But this,” he said, referring to Rental Harvest. “This is it.” Jackson said he got the idea for Rental Harvest after reading a newspaper article that alerted him to the fact that, since 2011, the three national credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian and Transunion—have been integrating rental history into credit score reports. According to a March 2015 Los Angeles Times report, Experian — the first major credit bureau to apply rent payments to credit histories — completed a study two years ago that sampled 20,000 tenants living in government-subsidized apartments. When rent payments were applied to those tenants’ credit histories, Experian discovered, 100 percent of them went from “unscoreable” to “scoreable” and 97 percent “had scores in the ‘prime’ (average 688) and ‘non-prime’ (average 649) categories,’” the L.A. Times reported. Jackson found that the incorporation of alternative data sources, such as rent pay-

ments, into factoring credit scores could be a boon to residents in places like the West and South sides of Chicago, where the “credit invisibles” and “credit unscoreables” (people whose credit files are thin, insufficient or stale) are concentrated. According to the CFPB study, of “the consumers who live in low-income neighborhoods, almost 30 percent are credit invisible and an additional 15 percent have records that are unscoreable.” “A lot of the issues in our community are economic issues,” Jackson said. “Without credit, you can’t do a whole lot.” But when he approached the credit bureaus with a pitch to setup his own rent reporting service, he was initially denied without explanation, Jackson said. “So I fought and fought and fought until I got approved in January,” he added. “Before they approved me, they sent somebody out to inspect my office to make sure the computers are locked and the file cabinets have keys to them and that multiple businesses aren’t sharing the same room. They want to make sure that you’re legit and have a secure space. This is sensitive data we’re dealing with.” Jackson persuaded his father, Derek Jackson, 55, to invest in the expensive software necessary to run the business. “It was a no-brainer for me,” Derek said. “I figured if we marketed it right and put it out there the right way, the business would grow

and make money. It’s working right now.” Jackson said that he has nearly 350 clients so far, a number he said is growing so rapidly he may eventually need to court a team of investors to finance more capital purchases and hire more people to his team of seven employees — most of whom are part-time. Recently, Rental Harvest was selected by the Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce as the 2017 New Business of the Year. Jackson said the chamber has agreed to help the company acquire new customers in Central Illinois, where the chamber is headquartered. Since the credit bureaus have started integrating rental payments into credit histories, a small crop of larger companies, such as RentTrack and ClearNow, have materialized to take advantage of the new development. Jackson said he differs from these players in that Rental Harvest doesn’t process rent payments, it simply reports the data to Transunion. By their account, he and Strickland said, Rental Harvest is the first and, so far, only African American-owned rent reporting service in the country — which, they added, is also their competitive advantage. “We’re about making money,” said Jackson, “but we’re also about giving back to the community and hiring from the community and meeting the community’s needs.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

In January, Wintrust Bank made its debut on the West Side when it opened a branch at 2 N. Western Ave. in East Garfield Park. Now, the branch is trying to forge a community identity. In an interview last week, Branch manager Anthony Scott said that his employer understands that in order to serve Chicago, it needs to serve the entire city—including the neighborhoods that major bank chains tend to shy away from. Scott said that Wintrust wants to be part to the fabric of the West Side—hiring locally and tailoring financial products to address the needs of local residents, businesses and organizations. Wintrust Bank is based in Chicago’s Loop, with most of its roughly 20 branches locat-

ed on the North and Northwest Sides. The But tailoring financial products to the resbank is one of nine Illinois-chartered banks idents of communities where bank branches that are subsidiaries of the larger Wintrust are located is easier said than done, Scott exFinancial Corporation, which is headquar- plained. tered in Rosemont.

ployment Network to hold more. “[For Wintrust], the concept of empowering the community comes with our financial literacy piece,” he said. “There’s a lack of knowledge when it comes to banking in the African-American community. And Wintrust is doing its best to help educate people through financial literacy.” Jennifer Johnson, a banker at the branch, lauded the bank’s other outreach programs, such as an Aug. 26 back-to-school event hosted by Ald. Walter Burnett (27th). The bank plans to team up with the alderman to hand out school supplies. Earlier this year, she said, bank employees opened over 100 student accounts. In addition, she noted, the bank is currently in the process of joining the Garfield Park Chamber of Commerce. And earlier this year, bank employees participated in an annual banquet hosted by Austin Coming Together. Scott said that another West Side branch may be in the works. “We’re currently looking for the right place for additional locations on the West Side,” he explained. “We’ve looked at Austin and the surrounding neighborhoods. We want to be Chicago’s bank and in order to be that, we understand that we need to be in all neighborhoods in the city.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

GUILTY PLEA Sentencing set from page 1 For instance, the program organizers claimed to have served around 270,000 meals to low-income children over the summer although an investigation by the Department of Agriculture determined that the actual number of meals they served turned out to be fewer than 100,000, according to the indictment. Wilkerson and his co-defendants allegedly kept $450,000 for a range of personal expenses, such as $37,000 to buy housing in Memphis for Wilkerson’s parents and nearly $30,000 to buy a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. According to the May statement put out by the Justice Department, both Robbie and Tasha Wilkerson admitted “that they embezzled more than $100,000 from the program, including more than $60,000 in direct payments to themselves, at the same time Tasha was paid as an employee of Youth Outreach Services, Chicago, as a prevention coordinator. “In addition, more than $10,000

was given directly to relatives; $20,000 in cash and other withdrawals from NBCC’s bank account; $46,000 to purchase real estate in Chicago; and $37,109 to purchase a residence in Memphis, Tenn., for Robbie Wilkerson’s parents.” Hall admitted to embezzling roughly $51,000 in USDA funds for personal expenses while the Shumates admitted to embezzling between $40,000 and $95,000 in USDA fund for personal expenses, including nearly $29,000 to buy the Hyundai Sonata. The federal government has recommended that Robbie Wilkerson be sentenced to 37 months in prison and ordered to pay at least $400,000 in restitution. The government recommended “a split sentence of five months in prison followed by five months of home confinement” and restitution for each of the pastor’s co-defendants, including Tasha Wilkerson, Hall, and the Richard and Evelyn Shumate. Robbie and Tasha Wilkerson are scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 6 while Hall’s sentence date is set for Sept. 22. The sentencing hearing for Richard and Evelyn Shumate is scheduled for Sept. 15.

25th District hosts National Night Out By TERRY DEAN AustinTalks

Martha Alicia is either a lucky charm or just plain lucky. The Austin resident won two raffle prizes at the 25th Police District’s National Night last week. Alicia won four tickets to a White Sox game and also a gift card. No one else at the community event won multiple prizes, but these two aren’t Alicia’s to keep. She was holding the tickets for her friends who had to leave the event. “I was holding the tickets for her; I didn’t win anything,” Alicia said with a laugh, adding that she’s attended the event in previous years. All six of her children have also participated in the district’s youth volunteer programs. “I like my kids to give back to their community and help out,” she said of her five now adult children and of her youngest, who just started volunteering. Last week’s raffle capped off the annual National Night Out

event, held each year during the summer in Chicago and cities around the country. Along with the fun and games, attendees learn about police department programs and socialize with officers. Well over a 100 people, including lots of parents and their children, came to the 25th District station parking lot, 5555 W. Grand, for the event, which is held annually on the first Tuesday of August. “It’s a great time for us to get together with the citizens and show them how we really want to work together as a team out here,” 25th District Cmdr. Anthony Escamilla said. “They love this kind of activity, maybe it should be more than once a year,” Escamilla said. National Night Out began in 1984, one of the first programs created by the National Association of Town Watch, a network of law enforcement and neighborhood watch groups from across the country that started in 1981. National Night Out would grow from a mostly neighborhood can-

vassing event to the block party atmosphere in recent years. Some 15,000 communities and nearly 40 million people have participated during its history, according to the association. Attendees at this year’s 25th District event enjoyed the activities, including the inflatable bounce house for the younger children – and the dunk tank featuring a brave but soaked young lady who took a few slashes in the water thanks to a long line of kids slinging balls at the tank target. A few kids also got to learn about some department equipment, like one youngster who tried on a helmet used by the city’s bomb squad. “A lot of people come out, and the kids are very interested in the technical aspect of what we do,” said Sgt. Robert Jurczykowski, a 22-year police veteran and explosive technician since 2007. Communities looking to organize their own National Night Out event can register at the association’s web site.

Austin schools brace for budget cuts

The overwhelming majority of Austin public schools will see funding cuts due to declining enrollments By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks

Austin schools are taking a big financial hit in CPS’ new budget, along with many other South and West side schools, worrying community activists, residents and the teachers union. According to the school-by-school budget just released, 15 out of 19 Austin neighborhood schools will see funding cuts. Most must contend with even bigger cuts than last year because schools continue to lose students, with Douglass High School topping the list with an almost 20 percent funding slash – the 11th largest among all public schools across Chicago. “While investments are taking place in the mayor’s wards, the Austin community is under attack,” said Austin resident Brandon Johnson, an organizer with the Chicago Teachers Union who used to teach at Westinghouse College Prep High School. “This is horrifying for families that are raising their children in Austin,” Johnson said, adding West Side schools have experienced decreases in funding over the last seven years. “We are talking about schools that already don’t have nurses, counselors and librarians; schools that have class sizes that are already too large,” Johnson said. The chronic understaffing has caused Austin children to lose out when it comes to education in music and world language, he said. In all, CPS plans to allocate a total of $2.281 billion in federal funds to more than 660 schools for the school year that begins in September—a $43 million decrease compared to 2017. The cuts are caused by a city-

Although Senate Bill 1, which includes a new “evidence-based” model backed by both Democrats and Republicans, won approval in the Illinois General Assembly in late May, it was vetoed by Gov. Bruce Rauner on Aug. 1. The new model, which is supported by both state Rep. La Shawn Ford and state Rep. Camille Lilly, would direct more state funding to the district, but not necessarily allocate more money to schools that have the most need, Stovall said. “The issue is how those funds would be distributed,” he said. “Schools that historically have the least will still be guaranteed less.” SB1 is not enough for Chicago and Austin neighborhood schools, Johnson said. The Chicago Teachers Union is pushing Mayor Rahm Emanuel to take action—either by allocating a portion of the Tax Increment Finance surplus to schools, or reinstating the corporate head tax the mayor ended after taking office in 2011. “The mayor’s gotta put some local money in for the stability of our schools,” Johnson said, adding there is hundreds of millions of dollars in TIF funding that should “go to the schools instead of Navy Pier.” Local school councils, then the Chicago Board of Education, must approve the CPS budget well before Sept. 5, when classes are set to begin. That means principals will have to make very difficult decisions and consider the magnitude of the cuts, Johnson said. “It’s unfair that the principals have to figure out whether or not they’re going to have a teacher, a school clerk or a copy machine,” he said, adding that for too long Austin residents keep “being asked to figure it out.” CONTACT: austintalks.org

hat’s in it for the black people (WIIFTBP)?” is a question/strategy that Maze Jackson, the new morning host at WVON 1690AM, is asking. I’m a hard sell when it comes to certain new initiatives. Why? The answer is simple. More often than not, I have had to determine if the person is serious about the issue or is just pulling black folks’ coattails in order to become a household name and get some press. Maze initially came on the air one day a week for an hour talking politics with then host Matt McGill. He is a political consultant, strategist and former lobbyist. His “social media question of the day,” instead of being

Several weeks ago, the station announced that Maze would be a permanent co-host. I was glad to hear it even though the two people who would partner were like night and day. It didn’t take long for the apple cart to get overturned, and Matt McGill offered his resignation. Maze took over the morning slot and it is becoming “a hell of a ride!” Maze’s youth is tempered by the addition of Charles Thomas, a former reporter for WLS Channel 7, who brings maturity and wisdom to offset Maze’s brashness.
