U.S. MEASLES CASES IN FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF 2019 SURPASS TOTAL CASES PER YEAR FOR PAST 25 YEARS As of May 30, 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 971 cases of measles in the United States, the greatest number of cases reported in the U.S. since 1994, when 963 cases were reported for the entire year.

If outbreaks continue through summer and fall, the United States may lose its measles elimination status, erasing the hard work done by all levels of public health. “Measles is preventable and the way to end this outbreak is to ensure that all children and adults who can get vaccinated, do get vaccinated. Again, I want to reassure parents that vaccines are safe, they do not cause autism. The greater danger is the disease the vaccination prevents,” said CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, M.D.

Mayor Lightfoot Announces All New School Board Continued from page 1

BY KATHERINE NEWMAN

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot recently announced an entirely new school board. The seven people who Lightfoot has appointed to lead the Chicago Public School (CPS) system have personal ties to CPS as parents, graduates, or former faculty.

Miguel del Valle will be the board’s president and Sendhil Revuluri will serve as the board vice president. Other board members include Dwayne Truss, Elizabeth Todd-Breland, Lucino Sotelo, Luisiana Melendez, and Amy Rome.

“These individuals represent the diversity of our city,” said Lightfoot. “What we tried to do in selecting the individuals, who have graciously agreed to serve at this incredibly important moment, was look for people who are parents and have experience at CPS whether as principals, teachers, or support personnel.”

In addition to the new school board, Lightfoot made the decision to keep Dr. Janice Jackson in her position as CEO of Chicago Public Schools

and appointed Sybil Madison to serve as deputy mayor for education and human services.

“In the short period of time that I’ve had with Dr. Jackson, she’s impressed me every single time that we’ve had a meeting or a discussion about anything related to CPS. I get people stopping me and calling me at all levels of CPS talking about how enthusiastic they are about her leadership and I think that’s a real testament,” said Lightfoot.

During Mayor Lightfoot’s announcement of the new school board, she said that Chicago Public Schools will no longer have a “rubber stamp” mentality and that she expects the new school board members to be true representatives of the community.

“This is a great assignment and a great opportunity to not only work with Mayor Lightfoot and implement her vision but also to work with these wonderful board members that have been selected. These are all committed individuals with strong backgrounds and as the mayor indicated, she has said this from the very beginning, she wants a board that is going

to challenge the system,” said del Valle.

Miguel del Valle previously served as City Clerk of Chicago and was an Illinois State Senator for two terms. Del Valle is a leader in the city’s Latinx community and has helped found several Latinx advocacy groups.

“There are always areas in need of improvement and I’ve said to our new board members that I want everyone to be vocal and I want everyone to apply their expertise and to bring that to the table so we can move the system forward,” said del Valle.

Lightfoot said that she is in favor of an elected school board but until that day comes, she is confident in the abilities of the people that she has appointed to oversee Chicago Public Schools. “[The school board] will be focusing on what we can do to really improve the quality of the classroom experience for our children all over the city with a lens of equity and inclusion and making sure that those schools, particularly neighborhood schools, get the resources they need to make sure they are creating opportunity for our young people,” said Lightfoot.

COMMENTARY

Forget the Adversity Score, Just Dump the SAT

BY JULIANNE MALVEAUX NNPA Newswire Contributor

The College Board, the organization that develops and administers the SAT test, has developed a new “adversity score” to augment the widely used college admissions examination.

The fact that the College Board has had to create an “adversity score” is reason enough to discard the badly flawed SAT test, a test that many consider racially biased, and that only measures the likelihood of first-year college success.

In other words, it measures the accumulated advantages that some students have over others because of the quality of their high schools, their family wealth, and other factors.

The “adversity score” seeks to measure the disadvantages that some students experience. Interestingly, the “adversity score” does not measure race, although racial discrimination is alive and well in our nation.

Indeed, the development of an adversity score that does not account for race is a capitulation to the anti-affirmative action forces, some directed by this administration’s Justice Department that have brought lawsuits against Harvard and other universities because of “anti-Asian” bias.

It is also a bow to the argument that a white student from a poor

Julianne Malveaux

family is more disadvantaged than a black child whose family is upper-middle-class when there is plenty of evidence that this is not necessarily so. Structural racism is so woven into our national consciousness that a child of middle-class black folks is likely to do worse than their parents did.

Our nation is in race denial, and this adversity score, which does not consider race, is part of the denial.

The pilot testing of the adversity score seems to indicate that using it may create more diverse admissions, but there are precious few details about the score (and it won’t even be shared with students and their parents). But the very existence of an adversity score raises questions about the efficacy of the SAT. This is perhaps why.

This is an interesting time for the adversity score to be rolled out. Robert Schaffer, Public

www.thechicagocitizen.com

Education Director of Fair Test (the National Center for Fair and Open Testing) says the adversity scores are a way for the College Board to defend itself against its critics. He said, “Schools do not need the SAT or ACT – with or without ‘adversity scores’ – to make high-quality, admissions decisions that promote equity and excellence.” In fact, more than 1000 colleges and universities, including half for the top 100 liberal arts colleges, do not use the SAT to evaluate applicants.

What should colleges use, instead, to evaluate students? How about high school grades? Some will argue that the quality of high schools varies. Well, that ought to be an impetus for improving the quality of some high schools, especially those in inner cities.

How about class rank? The University of Texas uses class rank to admit some students, which ensures a diverse class given the segregation that remains in our nation’s high schools.

The adversity score will purportedly reflect differences in high school quality.

Eliminating the use of the SAT would do much the same, allowing college admissions counselors to make better decisions. The College Board says it is a nonprofit organization, but let’s follow the

money. It makes so much money that its President, David Coleman, earns more than a million dollars a year, more than the President of Harvard University.

The organization is making megabucks on the backs of our students, and it is reinforcing biases along the way. Some see the adversity score as a step in the right direction toward modifying the SAT. I see it as a defensive move to shore up a flawed test and an even more flawed organization.

This fall, more than 150 colleges will use the adversityenhanced SAT in their admissions process. Based on those results, more colleges will use the score to measure adversity. I know lots of folks who consider the development of an adversity score good news. It would be much better news if colleges and universities simply decided to stop using the SAT. It measures privilege, not knowledge, and it is demonstrably biased. Fixing a corrupt system instead of changing it only serves to reinforce the status quo.

New Alzheimer’s Campaign Encourages Families to Discuss Cognitive Problems Sooner It’s a conversation no family wants to have – talking to a loved one about memory loss or cognitive decline. Close family members are typically the first to notice memory issues or cognitive problems, but they are often hesitant to say something – even when they know something is wrong.

A new survey released recently by the Alzheimer’s Association reveals that nearly 9 in 10 Americans say they would want others to tell them if they were showing signs of memory loss, thinking problems or other symptoms of cognitive decline. However, nearly 3 in 4 Americans say that talking to a close family member about memory loss, thinking problems, or other signs of cognitive problems would be challenging for them.

During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month this June, the Alzheimer’s Association aims to bridge the current communication gap with tools to help people talk about cognitive concerns sooner.

A new national campaign created in partnership with the Ad Council is the first-ever collaboration between the two groups and features real stories of people who noticed cognitive changes in a family member and took the first, difficult step to initiate a conversation.

Designed to help encourage conversations that may be difficult but could prevent a crisis and improve health options and outcomes, the campaign was created pro-bono by the community.

“Discussing Alzheimer’s is challenging for families and this campaign tackles the issue directly,” said Michael Carson, chief marketing officer at the Alzheimer’s Association.

“Initiating conversations sooner can enable early diagnosis, which offers many important benefits, including allowing more time for critical care planning, better disease management and providing diagnosed individuals a voice in their future care. The ad campaign is designed to encourage and empower people to have productive conversations before a

crisis occurs.”

Every 65 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s disease. It is America’s sixth leading cause of death, affecting more than 5 million Americans and 16 million caregivers. Despite Alzheimer’s growing impact, many families struggle with discussing the issue.

“It’s understandable that many families are reluctant to express their concerns and initiate a conversation, but there are good reasons to do so,” said Ruth Drew, director of information and support services, Alzheimer’s Association. “Early detection and diagnosis puts individuals and families in the best position to navigate a devastating disease. Avoiding the conversation and letting problems progress is the worst thing you can do.”

The campaign demonstrates the importance of family members trusting their instincts and proactively raising concerns. The message, “When something feels different, it could be Alzheimer’s – now is the time to talk,” will be important for shifting people

from being passive when they observe potential symptoms, to taking an important step and having a conversation.

“By highlighting heartfelt, relatable stories of people who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, this new critical campaign will help ease the challenges associated with starting this difficult conversation. We hope it will encourage audiences to notice the signs early, trust their gut, and have a talk. Having this conversation early can make a big difference in the lives of those who have been diagnosed and their families,” said Lisa Sherman, president & chief executive officer of the Ad Council.

Video stories of caregivers who saw the signs and started a conversation, are designed to help illustrate how other families can do the same. Additionally, the campaign’s website offers families tools and resources, including customizable conversations starters, a list of early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s, benefits of early diagnosis, a downloadable discussion guide and other resources.

“Our Stories is a transformative web experience to change the way people view Alzheimer’s disease. We used real stories, an illustrated aesthetic, and an interactive z-space approach to the narrative to build comfort for our users so that they would leave the site experience and apply the learnings with their real life situation,” said Chris Neff, Sr. director of innovation at the community. “The resulting product is a beautiful balance of art and information that we hope breaks through with the audience and leads to increased doctor visits and diagnoses at an early stage.”

Discussion at SANS Chicago Cyber Security Training Event: Equifax Breach was Entirely Preventable SANS Institute recently announced SANS Chicago 2019 (#SANSChicago) taking place August 19-24 in Illinois. Hands-on immersion training and evening talks will provide security professionals with tips and techniques to be successful in cyber security.

SANS Senior Instructor and course author Chris Crowley (@ CCrowMontance) will shed light into the Equifax Breach during his keynote talk, “Equifax, Congress, 148 million US taxpayer’s infor-

mation. What Went Wrong? What Lessons Can You Learn from This?”

Crowley explains, “In December, 2018 the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released a Majority Staff Report on the Equifax breach: a year after the breach happened. We rarely gain such detailed insight into security issues of breached organizations. Because Equifax was a consumer reporting agency, the data was governed by US law, so Congress conducted a

thorough investigation. The report states, ‘Equifax, however, failed to implement an adequate security program to protect this sensitive data. As a result, Equifax allowed one of the largest data breaches in U.S. history. Such a breach was entirely preventable.’ Join me in Chicago where I will dissect this particular breach, so you can keep your organization from being the subject of the next Majority Staff Report: Such a breach was entirely preventable,” Crowley said. www.thechicagocitizen.com

In addition to his talk, Crowley will teach SEC504: Hacker Tools, Techniques, Exploits, and Incident Handling.

The course arms security professionals with the knowledge necessary to turn the tables on attackers.

Students will get hands-on experience in finding security vulnerabilities and discovering intrusions. The course also equips students with a comprehensive incident handling plan.

SANS Chicago 2019 features

courses covering cyber defense, ethical hacking, penetration testing, cloud security, digital forensics, and cyber threat intelligence. Included in the course line-up are SEC301: Introduction to Cyber Security, SEC511: Continuous Monitoring and Security Operations, FOR500: Windows Forensic Analysis, and FOR578: Cyber Threat Intelligence.

Survey Reveals Loss Of Lunch Breaks Weighs Heavily On Millennials

PRNewsfoto/Essity

A survey by Tork, an Essity brand and the maker of nearly half of the napkins used in the food service industry in the U.S., finds that Millennials – who are now the largest generation in the U.S. labor force – are nearly three times more likely than Baby Boomers to believe coworkers would judge them negatively if they took a regular lunch break.

The survey, conducted as part of the brand’s award-winning Take Back the Lunch BreakSM program, also reveals that Millennials have a greater desire to enjoy a real lunch break than other generations.

The survey finds: l 62 percent of Millennials would opt for a longer or more regular lunch break if possible, compared to 46 percent of Baby Boomers. l 44 percent of Millennials strongly agree that they look forward to taking a lunch break, compared to 36 percent of Gen X employees. l 16 percent of Millennials would take a pay cut of 10 percent so they could take a lunch break every day, which is nearly double the percentage of Gen X employees and more than three times the percentage of Baby Boomers.

This year, Tork has partnered with Joy Bauer, one of the nation’s leading health authorities, TV personality and host of

NBC’s hit show, Health & Happiness, to spread the word about the health, wellness and workplace performance benefits of taking a lunch break.

As someone who helps millions of Americans eat better, live healthier and lead more fulfilling lives by offering reliable and practical advice, Joy Bauer will join Tork in raising awareness and educating consumers about how taking time away from the office can have a significant impact on one’s mental and physical health.

“Choosing to eat a nutritious lunch is only part of the equation to living a healthy life at work,” said Joy Bauer. “What you eat matters, but where you eat matters just as much, and eating a so-called ‘sad desk lunch’ could make you feel unhappy and less productive.

That’s why I’m teaming up with Tork, to encourage office workers to take back the lunch break and go out to eat a healthy meal with a coworker or friend. It will make a real difference.”

In 2018, Tork established the third Friday in June as the annual National Take Back the Lunch Break Day, which falls on Friday, June 21 this year. On this day and every day, Tork is calling on employees and restaurants alike to rally behind the Take Back the Lunch Break movement

and spread the word to coworkers and friends on social media by sharing photos of how they step away from their desks each day and reclaim their lunch break using the hashtag #takebacklunch.

“We understand that today’s employees – especially Millennials – often find it difficult to take a lunch break due to workplace demands and even a perceived stigma around leaving the office for lunch.

That’s not good for business if you’re working in an office, and it’s especially bad if you’re working in a restaurant.

At Tork, we are deeply committed to understanding our customers and what is impacting their business, so we wanted to start a movement and help create a happier, more productive workforce that also improves restaurants’ bottom lines,” said Don Lewis, president of professional hygiene at Essity.

To encourage employees and their colleagues to take the pledge to leave their desk during lunch, Tork has announced a contest for employees to win a free lunch for their office on National Take Back the Lunch Break Day on June 21.

How to Look Polished on Any Budget StatePoint - You don’t need to spend a fortune to look like you own a fortune.

Use these shopping and wardrobe maintenance tips to look amazing on a limited budget: Clothing Exchange By hosting a clothing exchange, you won’t need to spend a dime updating your wardrobe. How does it work?

Invite fashionable friends to bring their unwanted, gently used items to your home (or another location with a lot of space).

Once all your guests arrive, you’ll have a huge pile of clothing, shoes and accessories for everyone to assess.

That awesome skirt that didn’t quite flatter your best friend? It may look just right on you. Your handbag that no longer goes with anything? It may be a friend of a friend’s newfound treasure. Clothing exchanges are not only fun, they’re an excellent way to walk away with new-to-you items that you love. Don’t forget to have a full-length mirror on-hand!

At-Home Care Ever shied away from purchasing a particular garment because the label said “Dry Clean Only”? There’s an easy way to avoid the steep cost and inconvenience of the dry cleaners without avoiding the highquality garment itself. Treat items at home using Dryel At-Home Dry Cleaner, which comes with cloths similar to dryer sheets that are infused with cleaners and are used to steam clean clothes in the dryer.

“At a cost of just 25 cents per item washed, it’s a great money-saving alternative

By applying a few new strategies to your shopping and clothing care routine, a polished look can be yours, no matter your budget.

for maintaining your best looks,” says Betsy Appleton, a fashion blogger.

Go Thrifting You’ll never know what treasures you’ll find while thrifting. Bear in mind that many items -- including designer fashions -- may be on sale in nearly mint condition, with just one spot or other imperfection. Experts say it may still be worth the risk to buy those with the dreaded Dry Clean Only tag.

Appleton, whose Goldwill Digger blog details her thrifting missions says, “I used to be deterred from thrifting dry clean only items because the cost of professional dry cleaning outweighed the bargain of the garment. With Dryel, I can easily and affordably clean these delicate pieces at home.”

Another common thrift store woe?

Finding the perfect item with a missing buttons or tear along a seam. Learning a few basic sewing skills is critical for any serious thrifter. Whereas others may pass over a treasure for a small imperfection, you’ll have the know-how to restore it to mint condition.

Re-Sell Whether you visit a consignment shop or use an online platform such as thredUP, reselling items you no longer want or need is a great way to infuse your clothing budget with some quick extra cash and is totally on-trend -- 56 million women bought secondhand products in 2018, up from 44 million in 2017, according to thredUP’s Annual Resale Report.

Noted beauty industry executive Rochelle Weitzner, former chief executive officer of Erno Laszlo and former chief financial officer at Laura Mercier Cosmetics and RéVive Skincare, recently announced the launch of Pause™, a first-of-its-kind, science-based skincare line focused on supporting skin during the three stages of menopause.

The Pause story began when Weitzner experienced her first hot flash. Naturally, she looked to her industry for products that could support her through menopause. What she found—actually what she didn’t find—shocked her.

“Not only were there no products targeting the particular effects of menopause on skin,” reflects Weitzner, “but no one was even talking about it. For all the noise we make about aging and all the products aimed at anti-aging, it was as if the whole topic of menopause was forbidden.”

After a career in the C-suite, Weitzner found that not just surprising but unacceptable. “Menopause is or will be a fact of life for millions of women. From perimenopause—which can start in a woman’s thirties—and for the rest of her life, she will deal with a combination of hot flashes, dryness, sagging and loss of elasticity,” says Weitzner. She decided to change all that, redirecting her extensive experience in beauty to fill this gaping void.

Weitzner teamed up with Grace Beauty Capital to establish Pause™ Well-Aging™ skincare. “Menopause is a huge transition for women—and a huge underserved market,” says Grace’s Founder and Partner, Frank Fazzinga III, “and I couldn’t understand why nobody had the courage to tackle it.”

Weitzner notes, “We’ve done our homework, developing products that scientifically target this stage of skin health from both the inside and the outside.”

According to a press release, Pause includes three products created to address the unique physiology of menopausal skin. Hot Flash Cooling Mist is a use-anywhere fine mist that minimizes flushing and provides instant relief during a hot flash. Collagen Boosting Moisturizer is a deeply hydrating formula that can tighten facial contours, increase skin density and improve elasticity to estrogen-deprived skin. The Fascia Stimulating Tool, an FDA-cleared Class I medical device developed with Dr. Jessica Hill, Doctor of Physical Therapy, uses gentle massage to help stimulate collagen production, improve tone and texture, and enhance subdermal tissue health.

The next round of products will launch in the Fall.

Among the many differentiating factors for this line is the proprietary Pause Complex, a carefully researched fusion of vitamins, antioxidants and peptides that helps fuel collagen production and diminish the visible signs of skin aging. The Complex is part of all Pause formulations.

While products are the core of Pause, Weitzner emphasizes that Pause is about more than skincare.

“Pause is both science for your skin and a community for your soul,” Weitzner offers. She explains that it’s about giving women resources and space to share their stories as they adapt to the “new normal” that is menopause.

The Connect the Dots blog is packed with articles, stories, science, lifestyle features, humor and more, reflecting the company tagline: Pause. Learn. Laugh.

Weitzner sums up the company’s mission: “We want to view menopause not as an ending but as a time to Pause, reflect and look ahead. Pause is beauty for what’s next.”

Price points are $72 for the Moisturizer, $39 for the Mist and $115 for the Tool, which includes a vegan leather storage pouch and detailed instructions.

Instructional videos are also available. For more information, visit pausewellaging.com.

Best Tips to Kick Off Summer and Celebrate Dad StatePoint - Father’s Day is a chance to kick off summer and celebrate Dad. Where better to gather your celebration than the grill, where family memories, traditions and delicious meals are created?

Here are some ways to make your father’s grilling wishes come true.

Thanking Dad If your father is like many others, grilling is kind of his thing, and there’s no better way to honor the man of the house than with the equipment he needs and deserves.

At the top of your gift list should be a brandnew grill that will allow the king of the backyard barbecue to create world class ribs, wings, smoked meats and more at home. Whether his preference is traditional wood pellet, charcoal, gas or even a vertical smoker, consider those from Pit Boss, which offer exceptional value.

Their pellet grills are particularly well-suited to give Dad true bragging rights. Imparting a simple, all-natural wood flavor to cooking and featuring 8-in-1 versatility -- letting him bake, braise, sear, chargrill, grill, smoke, BBQ and roast -- he’ll be well on his way to making falloff-the-bone ribs and other competition-quality barbecue favorites in his own backyard.

Next up, gift tools and accessories to boost

Ingredients: • 1 rack spare ribs • 1/4 cup of mustard • Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub • 2 tbsp of butter • 2 tbsp of brown sugar • 2 tbsp of honey • 1/4 cup of apple juice • 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

Father’s Day is just around the corner. Try these tips to kick off your summer and at the same time, celebrate dad!

Dad’s grilling dexterity. For example, the nonstick porcelain-coated Pit Boss Grill Basket & Topper, fits most grill surfaces, making it possible to grill mouth-watering foods of any size without the need for tin foil or skewers.

Or, beef up marinades and rubs, while infusing heat, tang and zest into barbecue creations with the gift of a gourmet spice pack.

For more gift ideas to make cooking outdoors easier and more versatile, such as covers to protect

the grill when it’s not in use or a defrosting tray to thaw foods in a hurry, visit pitboss-grills.com.

Feeding Dad To celebrate Dad in the big way he deserves, try smoking meats in your own backyard with this recipe from Pit Boss. These fall-off-thebone St. Louis-style ribs are easy to make and can serve a group of four, or double the recipe to serve a big party!

www.thechicagocitizen.com

Directions: • Prep your ribs by patting them dry, removing the membrane, and trimming them, if your butcher hasn’t already.

• Generously coat every inch of the ribs with mustard and Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub. Lay them on the grill bone side down and smoke at 225 F for 3 hours.

• After 3 hours, wrap them tightly in foil, leaving one side open to add in your butter, brown sugar, honey, and apple juice. Then, seal them up and place them back on the grill flesh side down for 2 more hours.

• To finish them off, remove the foil and lay the ribs bone side down for an hour or until they reach an internal temperature of 185 – 190 F, making sure to add your favorite BBQ sauce and crank up the grill temperature to 275 F, 15 – 20 minutes before the ribs are done.
