CTU endorses Kwame Raoul for Illinois attorney general

CHICAGO- The Chicago Teachers Union endorsed Illinois State Senator Kwame Raoul recently in his campaign to serve as Illinois’ next attorney general, in a gathering that included current and retired teachers and allies. “Senator Raoul has been a rock-solid advocate of an elected representative school board for the City of Chicago and for collective bargaining rights for workers, and he has consistently raised concerns about school closings as an attack on the viability of disenfranchised neighborhoods and the basic rights of students and parents,” said CTU Vice President Jesse Sharkey. “We can count on Kwame to put the people’s business and the people’s needs front and center as attorney general, something we simply could not expect from some of the other candidates vying for this office. We’re proud to support him.” Raoul has served as state senator of Chicago’s 13th District on the city’s South Side for the last 13 years. “Kwame has consistently demonstrated his belief in workers’ rights and voting rights,” said Hubbard High School teacher Ben Coyle, who chairs the Union’s legislative committee. “He is committed to protecting both the families who depend on public education and the union educators, clinicians and paraprofessionals who are the backbone of our school communities,” Coyle said.

New book tackles healing, spirituality with cultural lens

LOS ANGELES — Dr. Jorge Partida grew up with his Mexican healer grandmother and has dedicated his clinical and professional life studying and researching healing traditions across the world. In his latest book release, “The Promise of the Fifth Sun” (published by Balboa Press), he honors ancestral teachings regarding healing and wellness while integrating Western psychology and medicine. “We are all looking for a model of health care that is empowering and strength based. Today’s health care system desperately needs to revisit our current disease and pathology based approach to health care,” Partida stresses. “The Promise of the Fifth Sun” explores the myths and the healing secrets found within ancient stories of creation and native cosmology. The ancient Toltec healing traditions contain powerful messages of healing and personal empowerment. These messages guide people to tap into ancestral wisdom and healing energies retain in the physical, mental and spiritual body. “The Promise of the Fifth Sun” By Dr. Jorge Partida Hardcover | 5.5 x 8.5in | 280 pages | ISBN 9781504386197 Softcover | 5.5 x 8.5in | 280 pages | ISBN 9781504386180 E-Book | 280 pages | ISBN 9781504386494 Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble

Mayor Rahm Emanuel recently joined Alderman Roderick Sawyer, Chicago Public Library (CPL) Commissioner Brian Bannon and Public Building Commission Executive Director Carina Sanchez to break ground on the renovation of the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Library, located on 7901 S. King Drive. The $12 million investment will incorporate the exterior walls of the existing structure into the envelope of the new building to create a modern, state-of-the-art branch. “I want to compliment the architect for actually re-thinking and literally taking the front door and moving it to serve all the needs of the community,” Emanuel said, adding, the library is no longer a place where you just send kids to check out a book, but is now a skills and training center for community residents. The new Whitney M. Young Jr., Branch will feature an Early Learning play space for children, a YOUmedia digital lab for teens, additional seating, state-of-the-art furniture and equipment, meeting and study spaces, expanded computer access and ADA accessibility throughout the building. “The revitalization of critical neighborhood assets like the Whitney Young Library branch are paramount for our Chatham residents,” said Alderman Roderick Sawyer of the 6th Ward. “This investment in the library’s facilities and infrastructure will provide our patrons with safe learning and gathering spaces for the children and families of this community.” The new branch will also offer one of three Experience Labs in Chicago. In October of last year, Mayor Emanuel along with David L. Cohen announced that Comcast would be making a $250,000 Internet Essentials investment with the Chicago Public Library Foundation bringing together three CPL programs into unique “Experience Labs” powered by Internet Essentials, according to a CPL press release.

“This is one of the busiest branch libraries for computer usage so we’re expanding the technology to laptops, desktops, resulting in less congestion” said CPL Commissioner Brian Bannon. The library’s development will be managed by the Public Building Commission (PBC), while Johnson & Lee, LTD, a full-service Chicago-based MBE architectural firm, serves as the Architect of Record. Frank Christopher Lee, architect and principal of Johnson & Lee, said it is an honor to design a community-oriented library because although he grew up in Woodlawn, Lee said he always wanted to live in Chatham. “It took 65 years for me to get to Chatham,” Lee said. “But I’m so happy to be here and have an impact on this great community. With this project, we wanted to open up the [library] more to the community. So, I’m looking forward to giving the community an updated state-of-the-art [branch] with glazed exterior.” The exterior walls of the existing structure will remain in place, allowing CPL and PBC to do a complete gut rehab and expansion, according to a CPL press release. “This is not a complete tear down and rebuild,” Carina E. Sanchez, executive director of (PBC) said. “Due to a high-quality original design and ‘good bones,’ the existing building is an ideal candidate for a gut renovation and expansion. This project will enhance the quality and architectural design of the neighborhood, provide jobs during the construction period and leave the community with enhanced library resources.” The City of Chicago has invested over $200 million to enhance library buildings and services, since 2011. The modernization branch project is one of many ongoing investments in Chatham, including the Cottage Grove streetscape improvement project, from 77th to 83rd Streets, and the Chatham Retail Thrive Zone, which helps support a neighborhood’s economic development.

Alderman Harris Unveils Retail Thrive Zone Small Business Grants

Eighth Ward Alderman Michelle Harris, along with her city council colleague 7th Ward Alderman Greg Mitchell, kicked-off the New Year in 2018 by sponsoring a recent successful public neighborhood business and economic development meeting at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church on 79th & Jeffrey. This event was attended by local small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs seeking information and assistance from the City of Chicago’s Retail Thrive Zone (RTZ) and Small Business Improvement Fund (SBIF) Initiative programs. “I’m an elected official who is firmly committed to encouraging new business development in our south side neighborhoods. The Retail Thrive Zone (RTZ) and the specialized Small Business Improvement Fund (SBIF) Initiatives, which offer grants of up to $250,000 to eligible applicants within the zones, will help fund new businesses, renovate existing establishments, and help local business owners provide community jobs. This will hopefully lead to a resurgence of new neighborhood businesses, giving our areas a welcome economic boost,” Said Alderman Harris. This new City-sponsored three-year RTZ program is aimed at providing business grants to strengthen the economic vitality of eight neighborhood commercial corridors on Chicago’s South, Southwest and West Sides. This meeting specifically focused on the ‘South Shore Retail Thrive Zone’, located on the East 79th Street business corridor which runs through the 7th and 8th Wards from Cregier to Exchange Avenue.

National Nurses United Endorses Senator Daniel Biss For Governor of Illinois

National Nurses United (NNU), the nation’s largest and fastest growing union of registered nurses with more than with 150,000 RNs across the country, including 6,500 in Illinois, recently announced its endorsement of Senator Daniel Biss for Governor. Biss is running in the Democratic primary scheduled for March 20, 2018. “Nurses are proud to endorse Daniel Biss because he shares nurses’ values of caring, compassion and community,” said Martese Chism, RN, a member of the board of directors of National Nurses Organizing Committee, NNU’s Illinois affiliate. “Under Governor Rauner, our communities are in jeopardy. Daniel Biss shares our vision for an Illinois where every resident receives quality healthcare through a single payer/Medicare for all healthcare system. He rejects the notion that cuts to social services are necessary or inevitable and is committed to raising the progressive revenue that we require to fully fund and expand the services that our communities need.” National Nurses United cited Biss’ support and co-sponsorship for SB 1970 which would create a LaSalle Street Tax on the nearly $900 trillion of financial transactions that occur yearly at the Chicago Mercantile and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). While working families pay sales tax for their purchases, LaSalle Street traders pay no sales tax on trades.

Simeon Booker Memorialized at Washington National Cathedral

A memorial service for trailblazing civil rights journalist Simeon Booker was held recently at the Washington National Cathedral. Booker, a journalistic icon, died Dec. 10 at the age of 99. Booker’s more than half-century of civil rights reporting, most notably the brutal murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi, helped propel the civil rights struggle onto the front pages of newspapers across the country which had long ignored the oppression of Black Americans. Previously, he had been the first full-time black reporter at the Washington Post. Donations may be made to the Simeon Booker Scholarship at Youngstown State University. All gifts designated for this minority scholarship are matched by the Youngstown State U Foundation.

Today, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Studio Movie Grill located on 210 W. 87th Street, Greater Chatham Initiative, community leaders, business owners and residents will launch the Chatham Center Chicago (CCC) brand and promotion of the movement “Buy Chatham,” which will outline future district plans and its economic contribution to Chicago. “The purpose of the launch of Chatham Center Chicago is to kick off the branding of the Chatham shopping district,” said Nedra Sims Fears, executive director of Greater Chatham Initiative. “You have to market the community and let people know the service providers and merchants located within your area. So, we created 10,000 printed and online maps where people can see a snapshot of the merchants, schools, real estate opportunities and other amenities available in this community.” Second only to downtown, Chicago South Siders (122,000 Chatham residents) spend more than $234 million annually within the 2.5 square miles bounded by 71st Street (North) 87th Street (South), Greenwood Avenue (East) and Holland Rd. (West). During the CCC launching event, local Aldermen will discuss the importance of branding local communities and small business owners will speak on cross promotions. “Often times one business owner doesn’t know the other business owner exists and how they can share and cross promote with each other,” Fears said. “So, it’s really a re-branding, re-building event to let Chatham residents know they can buy whatever they need in Chatham because we want them to spend their dollars here because we have what they need.”

Fears continued to say GCI has worked hard at branding the Chatham community so residents can learn about the different shopping centers, schools, housing and even the history of the community, by visiting ChathamCenterChicago. com. “We have four of the 77 neighborhoods in the city of Chicago and people become aware of neighborhoods by going on the web,” she said. “So, now there is one website where people can visit and become familiar with their neighborhood.” For more information, visit ChathamCenterChicago.com.

Management Consultant Spills Her Secrets in a new Book BOSTON, MA--For nearly a decade, management consultant Christie Lindor has taken countless meetings and coffee dates with mentees as she advises them on how to quickly climb the ladder and achieve their career goals in the notoriously unapproachable consulting industry. She’s proud to announce the launch of The MECE Muse: 100+ selected practices, unwritten rules, and habits of great consultants (SDP Publishing, January 2018), the first book that touches on the emotional intelligence required for success in management consulting--not just its technical aspects. “I decided to write this book after spending countless hours mentoring early career consultants,” says Lindor. “As a first-generation Haitian-American and college graduate, I entered the consulting world without many of the tools and resources my peers had--and quickly realized being smart and ambitious wasn’t enough to climb the ladder. I hope to act as the mentor I wish I had to aspiring or early career consultants who don’t necessarily have connections or an Ivy League background but who are smart,

willing to work hard and are genuinely good people focused on solving client problems.” Lindor is one of the first African American women to write a book on the management consulting industry. She wrote her book for aspiring or new consultants in the first five years of their career who currently don’t have mentors or sponsors to share an informed perspective with them. Aside from her own perspectives, Lindor connected with more than 50 consulting partners and leaders representing 27 consulting firms, including thought leadership from 80% of the top 10 consulting firms worldwide. Along with her work as a consultant, speaker, author, and blogger at www. christielindor.com, Lindor has developed a podcast, The MECE Muse: Unplugged. The podcast is a weekly variety show featuring interviews, career advice and storytelling.

Buddig to Expand It’s Presence in Illinois CHICAGO – Carl Buddig & Co. announced recently that they will be expanding their operations within Illinois with the purchase of the former Butterball facility in Montgomery.

Buddig will utilize the 280,000 sq ft facility to grow its manufacturing footprint for lunch meats and specialty meats production. The project will create 250 jobs within the first two years of operations and then ramp up to 350 jobs by year five. Buddig employs over 1,200 people within Illinois. Their most recent purchase of Rupari Food Services kept 200 jobs in Illinois. “With our customers’ demand for great-tasting Buddig products, it was vital that we increase our manufacturing facilities,” said Bob Buddig, CEO of Carl Buddig and Company. “The Montgomery facility is our fourth manufacturing facility in Illinois, and we look forward to starting production there this Spring.”

Consider alternatives to opioids to manage pain after surgery (BPT) - If you’re having surgery, you can expect to be sore and uncomfortable for a few days, whether you’re recovering at home or in the hospital. But it’s best to limit opioids or avoid them altogether, opting for alternatives to manage pain and discomfort, recommends the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Unfortunately, many patients leave the hospital following surgery with a prescription for 30 or more highly addictive opioid pills (e.g., Vicodin, hydrocodone and oxycodone), and about 6 percent are still using them three months or longer after the procedure. “Nobody needs a prescription for 30 or 50 opioids, and even those who are in major pain should only take them for a day or two,” said ASA President James D. Grant, M.D., M.B.A., FASA. “There are effective alternatives. Many people don’t need opioids at all or at least should drastically reduce the amount they take.” Addiction can start after taking only a few opioids. More than 2 million Americans abuse these medications, which can create a feeling of euphoria and make the body believe the drug is necessary for survival. Since 2000, opioid overdose deaths in the U.S. have increased 200 percent. Don’t take that chance. During Physician Anesthesiologists Week (Jan. 28 to Feb. 3), ASA offers advice for coping with pain and discomfort as you recover from surgery. * Ask about alternatives - Only take opioids when you are in extreme pain. Medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxen (Aleve) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help with pain and soreness. While it’s never a good idea to rely on any type of pain pills for too long, these medications are not addictive and are far less risky than opioids. * Manage your expectations - Everyone feels pain differently, but soreness and discomfort after surgery are normal and will improve within a day or two. These sensations are less severe than pain, which

is usually sharp or intense. You usually don’t treat muscle soreness after a hard workout with an opioid, so if you are sore, and not in severe pain, try ibuprofen or naproxen. * Be an active participant in your own care - While you are in recovery, the nurse will ask you if you are in pain and if so, how much. Be descriptive in explaining how you feel. If you are in major pain, ask that the opioid prescription be written for a small amount, and only take them for a day or two, three at most. Unused pills can fall into the wrong hands. In fact, more than half of people who misuse prescription painkillers get them from a friend or relative. Your pain will improve significantly within a few days whether or not you take opioids. * Be aware of other downsides to opioids - Opioids cause severe constipation and often don’t manage pain as well as people expect. Additionally, they can cause hyperalgesia, or an increased sensitivity to pain. “The opioid crisis is huge and affects everyone, rich and poor, male and female. It’s got to stop, and reducing opioid use during recovery after surgery is a big part of the solution,” said Dr. Grant. “Those who are in continued severe pain after surgery should ask a physician anesthesiologist or other pain specialist about alternative strategies to manage pain, including exercise, nerve blocks and non-opioid medications.”

ASA is committed to ending opioid abuse and has launched several initiatives to combat the epidemic. For more information, review ASA’s National Pain Strategy.

Based on public feedback and additional project planning and engineering work conducted over the last year, CTA has selected a Preferred Alignment, which would run along the west side of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks from I-57 south to approximately 108th Place, then would cross the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and run along the east side of the tracks until crossing the Metra Electric tracks near 119th Street and continuing south to 130th Street. The Preferred Alignment is a combination of the previously presented UPRR East and West Options. It would capture the benefits and minimize the impacts of either option and it also incorporates the feedback received on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement.

By Dr. Derrick B. Wells, Christ Universal Temple “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9) I have to admit it, I am always amused by how gym regulars tolerate us New Year’s resolution workout enthusiast. I believe their patience is soon rewarded as they see that before January is over, most of us will have felt the burn, taken sweaty selfies, broken all types of gym etiquette, abandoned the hope for a new body in the New Year, and returned to our excuses as our resolution dies a quiet death and our advanced annual payment is lost. Likewise, becoming the best version of your self is not an exercise to be entered into lightly. Even the wealthiest, most admired, and most brilliant among us cannot avoid the challenges that come when we commit ourselves to being, doing, and having that which is consistent with our divine design. Moving out of averageness requires incredible commitment. It will also require that we allow our faith to impact our thinking as we allow our thinking to reinforce our faith. The intimate dance between these two primary factors tends to color our past, influence our present, and shape our future in incredibly profound ways. Hebrews 11:1 tells us, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Just as a car needs gas, our faith in God can be the fuel that enables us to drive through the situation, sometimes regardless of the circumstances. For it is not just what happens to us, rather what happens in us that propels us forward. As faith-thinking people, we have free will and because we know and understand that God wants the absolute best for us, we should also know that our faith in Him is what will provide the stamina that we need to overcome one more roadblock if we will just press on. Now…get back to the gym!
