Homes for Heroes and the rest of us Interview by Vincent Hobbs The moving van pulls up into the driveway of a stunning new home, complete with a meticulously-landscaped grassy lawn and a huge “Welcome!” banner draped across the door. A fresh set of keys enter a lock and the front door is opened. The new residents walk into their new home, as an atmosphere of independence and comfort envelope them.

Their dream of owning their own home has finally arrived.

Kiesha Jones would love to see this scenario played out on a daily basis in communities across the CSRA. After all, she considers it to be her mission.

“It’s seeing that smile on closing day when I give them the keys to the property that gives me the most joy. Many of them never thought they could own a home and they came from years of renting - to home ownership. Or for the

owner who has been trying to sell their home, it is seeing that look of relief on their face. That’s the joy!”

Jones has also found an outlet to give back to the community, through her participation as a realtor in the Homes for Heroes program. The service, available to members of the military, police, firefighters, and other first-responders, offer substantial rebates and discounts to homebuyers.

“I wanted to allow my customers to get more savings as homebuyers.”

Participants can receive a 25% rebate at closing from the Homes for Heroes real estate agent, broker or their company’s gross commission. There is also an available discount (where permitted by law) on the title closing fee and a discount on lending fees charged by a Homes for Heroes lender specialist.

Jones recently spoke with UPW about home ownership and the Homes for Heroes program.

How did you become involved in selling real estate?

I have always loved to go and view homes and “dream house” shop. A few years ago, I made the decision to start investing in real estate. I fell in love with the negotiating aspect of investing and I decided that I needed to get into real estate sales. I knew that with my computer skills, my love for negotiating and helping people, real estate sales would serve me well.

What is the most satisfying aspect of your job as a realtor?

The most satisfying aspect is helping people sell a home that they are having a difficult time selling — or that they thought would be impossible to sell. I also enjoy helping buyers fulfill their lifelong dream of owning their own home.

Homes For Heroes from page 3 What are the qualities that a home buyer should look for when selecting a realtor?

An effective realtor is someone who is licensed, personable, knowledgeable, truthful, tech-savvy, and who prides themselves on integrity.

What is the importance of a comparative market analysis (CMA) for potential home buyers? (Editor’s note — The CMA is a listing of homes, with the comparative specific details such as price, square footage, number of bedrooms, etc. of homes currently for sale and recently sold in the area.)

An advantage to a homebuyer would be to have a CMA right before an offer.

It helps to guide the buyer’s offer. It can also be particularly helpful if there is a difference of opinion from the list price.

What are some important steps a potential home buyer should take to prepare to buy a home?

They should first analyze whether they are ready for homeownership. Whether

you’re becoming a homeowner for the first time or if you’re a repeat buyer, buying a house is a financial and emotional decision that requires commitment.

There is home maintenance, taxes and insurance, for example. Make sure you are ready to become a homeowner.

Next, shop for a good realtor – it is imperative to have a good realtor to help guide you and to have the fiduciary relationship with them, so that you have protection along the way.

After you find a qualified realtor, shop for a loan. Get mortgage pre-qualified and select the best mortgage product for you.

Depersonalize the home. Remove family photos, religious items and political posters. Remove the children’s drawings off the refrigerator. You will want prospective buyers to envision their belongings and family in the home, not yours.

Why do you feel it is important to recognize and show appreciation to first responders and other heroes in the community?

Our heroes give up so much of themselves and sacrifice so much to protect us and care for us daily. It is my honor to be able to give back to them.

What types of realtor services are offered by Homes for Heroes?

As a realtor-affiliate of Homes for Heroes, I offer back 25% off my commission, whether you buy or sell, to firefighters, emergency medical technicians, military and veterans, law enforcement, teachers and healthcare workers.

Tennis Academy teaches the game of life

by Michéle Brown Douglass When Darius Lawson first moved his family to Augusta, Ga., one of his main concerns was that his daughter, Jazmine Lawson, be able to adjust well in a nurturing environment.

“I was looking for a place where Jazmine could feel like she is a part of a family. I saw MACH Academy online one day and six years later, we are still here. MACH has a family environment and they produce great tennis players,” said Lawson, whose daughter has excelled academically and is being considered for a tennis scholarship to help pay for her college education.

The MACH Academy, located at Fleming Tennis Center, not only provides tennis lessons, but also tutorial

services, academic support in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), as well as mentoring, social skills development, healthy/fitness instruction, career development and college planning.

“Coach Mike Harden (the President, CEO and founder of the Academy) really cares—not just about numbers and how many tournaments you’re in, but about building the whole person, which includes education and the whole gamut. The proof is in the pudding,” Lawson said, while watching his daughter play at her tennis practice.

In fact, as Lawson observed his daughter’s skills, so did James Cowan, the head tennis coach at the University of Arkansas in Pine Bluff (UAPB), accompanied by Xavier

Graves, the student assistant coach of UAPB. “I am here recruiting some players for next year and the years to come,” said UAPB Head Coach Cowan. “We are looking for well-rounded players and students with good grades who have the skillset to play Division I tennis,” the college coach said.

UAPB Student Assistant Coach Graves said that the students who are recruited would have “an experience like no other” that would include “high-level tennis with high-level education” at the University of Arkansas, noting that the college’s main focus is education along with the expectation of greatness on the court.

“It is a great reward to see kids come from humble beginnings and through our program, find some

direction and receive the opportunity to get an education and go on to find promising careers,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Harden, who first founded MACH Academy at May Park Community Center in April of 1992.

“My goal is to continue to provide educational and recreational services to our youth, so that they can become tax-paying, law-abiding citizens.”

The academy is affiliated with the United States Tennis AssociationNational Junior Tennis and Learning (USTA/NJTL) and has connections with several colleges throughout the country.

Through the MACH Academy, students like Jazmine Lawson is being offered the opportunity to do just that.

ENTERTAINMENT

For Chicago native Marshall Monroe, owning a jazz café has been a dream he has nurtured for quite a while. So when the time seemed right, he made good on his dream and opened the Cotton Patch Jazz and Blues Café. Photo by Vincent Hobbs

Jazz and Blues on tap at the Cotton Patch

by Farrell Brown The old Cotton Patch restaurant downtown at 816 Cotton Lane boasts new owners as well as a new vibe.

Chicago native Marshall Monroe and his wife, Lisa, came to Augusta nine months ago from Virginia Beach, Virginia. They purchased the business and have dubbed the spot The Cotton Patch Jazz and Blues Café.

This is a brand new venture for Monroe. “When I left the military and left corporate America, I found the opportunity that I couldn’t pass over,” he said. “I think The Cotton Patch, as you guys know it, had a

great history. It has the right ambiance and was the right venue to turn into a jazz club. So I left corporate America and took a leap of faith.”

A leap sure, but well within the greater vision. Monroe had nurtured the vision to own his own jazz café for a while.

Monroe has a broad background in business. With an MBA from the University of Illinois, he worked for NCO Financial. He worked in 12 of their domestic sites and was in charge of the hiring process — “from the entire HR Department to the operations team to the entire recruitment team.”

One day while still working for

NCO, he had a major revelation.

“I got stuck in Fargo, North Dakota one day and, being retired from the military, I realized I no longer needed all of this,” Monroe said. “The money was good, but by the same token, I found myself being more stressed than I wanted to be at that time.”

On the plane home with a couple of hours to kill, he thought, “Now is the time. If I’m ever going to jump out and open up my café.”

Lisa works in Navy Intel at Fort Gordon and helps with the restaurant on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. His daughter, Anyae, is the head chef.

“The main thing I want people to know is that we have three things we do extremely well, that is to provide great customer service, great food and great entertainment,” Monroe said.

“I’m most proud of my team,” Monroe said. “The way they have built a cohesive unit. They work hard. They put in the extra effort.

They learned their craft. They learned the menu. They have great customer service.”

ON STAGE Thursdays are “Old School Thursdays” which features a live DJ and a promotion called “Cigars and Scotch”. The DJ only plays Jazz, Blues and R&B. The Cotton Patch Jazz & Blues Café also has live Jazz and Blues music every Friday and Saturday nights.

“We have by far exceeded our business plan expectations for the first 30 days,” Monroe said. “We’re tracking extremely well for the next 30 to 60 days.

“The one thing thing I’m looking most forward to is within the next

four or five years, being able to turn this over to my daughter, Anyae,” Monroe said. “Just to see if she can grow with the business and one day just take over the business, that’s what I’m most looking forward to.”

Monroe credits city workers

with making the transition to business owner smooth and seamless.

He credits Larry Harris from the Richmond County Department of Liquor and License for lending the biggest hand.

UPW FORUM COMMENTARY

What does ‘Black Lives Matter’ really mean?

Dissecting the mantra of a movement killing black and brown bodies” to “stop fearing black and brown bodies” to “you will learn to respect, perhaps even love, black and brown bodies.”

This movement, like so many others, will come to understand the force of deliberate economic action. If Black lives matter, then Black dollars must matter as well. The younger generation will soon learn the power of mass consumerism, the value in pressuring advertisers, and the beauty of promoting and supporting Black-owned businesses. Our children, of all races and ethnicities, will be able to look back on the Black Lives Matter moment with tremendous pride and with the same reverence that we hold for the Civil Rights Era.

Kristie Robin Johnson In the last several months, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” has become the calling card for the defining movement of millennials that began as a groundswell of activism in the wake of the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

With baited breath, the world awaited the verdict and in response the Black Lives Matter Movement began to take shape. From the outset, this collective of mostly black and brown twenty-something’s has made it their mission to expose racial injustices whenever and wherever they occur.

The focus on the significance (or the apparent insignificance) of black life in America has become the subject of much discussion and debate as the movement gains traction in American cities. And as we gather at rallies and protests and chant “Black lives matter” and write out the words “Black lives matter” on flimsy poster board and add #blacklivesmatter to all of our Twitter and Facebook posts, it strengthens our resolve when we know (and others know) exactly what we are saying.

First Things First Let’s make this clear; “Black Lives Matter” is not a request. It is not a cry from the meek and humble populace seeking scraps from the table of an almighty governing force. It is not the lowly declaration of an oppressed people shouted in hopes of mercy from the benevolent elite. “Black Lives Matter” does not crawl, beg, shrink, or placate. It is not an appeal to be recognized by anybody or anything. “Black Lives Matter” does not operate from a space of lack or compromise. It is not the end-goal of a righteous struggle.

“Black Lives Matter” is not a brand new revelation or philosophy to be taught and sold to a sleeping world.

“Black Lives Matter”, in its simplest form, is a fact. Black lives do matter. They have since the beginning of creation and will continue to matter as long as humans inhabit the Earth.

“Black Lives Matter” is a bold, fearless statement of the contributions of a race to an often ungrateful nation.

“Black Lives Matter” is a courageous reminder of our regal roots and unbelievable story. It is a command to the uneducated and a call to action to the well-equipped. “Black Lives Matter” is a celebration of unified humanity that undermines the forces of inequity and empowers the winds of change. “Black Lives Matter” is gallant, stands tall, and speaks truth to power, looking it square in the eye. It is so much more than a hip brand or trend or the coolest thing to say in current times; it is the necessary work to sustain a lasting legacy that is sometimes forgotten in the midst of frenzied modern life.

Moving a Movement Forward The prevailing question is “what’s next?” Of course, history will be the ultimate decider, but the future for this young movement looks hopeful.

Perched on the shoulders of a Civil Rights Movement that is nearly mythical in its stature, it would be an understatement to say that the youthful and idealistic organizers of the Black Lives Matter Movement have their work cut out for them. Living up to the gargantuan standard set by sit-ins, bus

boycotts, and historic marches will be formidable. But, like every other massive human undertaking for change the Black Lives Matter movement will evolve over time and come to mean many different things to many different generations.

As it stands right now, the movement seems to be mainly reactionary in nature and driven by protest, civil disobedience, and a common rhetoric grounded in human rights and racial equity. At the moment, the movement is also seemingly leaderless and this could be intentional. The only true faces of Black Lives Matter are the victims— Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray and the hundreds of unspoken names and unseen faces lost to senseless violence.

Like its predecessor, the Civil Rights Movement, this movement too will find its way. Reactionary calls to justice following the unjustified deaths of black bodies will soon morph into more proactive calls to political action, pushing voters towards candidates who will take up their cause. The tenor of the language surrounding the Black Lives Matter cause will evolve from “please convict the murderers of black and brown bodies” to “stop

What if….

In closing, take a moment to imagine a world where Black life doesn’t matter. Imagine if every Black person you know instantly vanished into thin air—a veritable urban rapture. In the blink of an eye more than 40 million Americans would disappear from the Earth. Hospitals would scramble to replace more than 50,000 doctors and surgeons and a third of the United States’ entire healthcare support workforce. More than 130,000 firefighters and law enforcement officers and nearly twenty percent of our entire armed forces would be gone without a trace. School systems would disintegrate losing nearly half-a-million educators all at once. We haven’t even begun to consider the innumerable losses to the arts, sciences, and entertainment industries that would occur.

How many songs would go unwritten? What incredible human feats and achievements might be missed? How many potentially great thinkers, philosophers, artists, and athletes might never be born? Our culture, our very way of life, would be left with an eternal, unfillable void. Indeed, ours would be a nation without a soul if Black did not matter.
