HEALTH Chicago Med Actor Helping Raise Awareness Of Zika Virus In Illinois

Brian Tee hits the airwaves with Zika information SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) recently launched its newest Zika virus awareness campaign with Brian Tee, known as Dr. Ethan Choi on the TV Series Chicago Med, or from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, Jurassic World, The Wolverine, and Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Brian Tee and his wife recently welcomed a baby girl into their family and she has become the center of their world. It was his love for his newborn baby and the knowledge that Zika virus can cause birth defects that prompted Brian to speak out.

In his role as a doctor on TV, and as a parent, Brian is hoping to shine a spotlight on the public health concerns of Zika virus and what people can do to prevent the infection of unborn babies who may suffer birth defects. In the radio and TV spots, Brian explains that Zika virus can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus, which could result in birth defects.

The new spots started airing statewide in cooperation with the Illinois Broadcasters Association (IBA) Public Education Partnership (PEP) program. The spots will air on more than 200 Illinois radio stations and IBA member TV stations.

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

The Resident Association of Greater Englewood (R.A.G.E.) recently hosted its fifth annual “So Fresh Saturday” tour with a backto-school drive where 1,000 backpacks were delivered at Hamilton Park Cultural.

Over this past summer, R.A.G.E., which is a resident-driven association, toured over six Englewood neighborhood parks to spread peace and encourage artistic creativity, according to an R.A.G.E. press release.

Asiaha Butler, president of R.A.G.E, explained that the association began hosting “So Fresh Saturdays,” five years ago and decided to initiate a back-to-school event after seeing a decline in Englewood’s annual back-to-school parade.

“As a neighborhood association that lives in the neighborhood, we understand how difficult it can be for families to secure the necessary resources for their kids to be prepared for school,” Butler said. “So, as an association we

said ‘How do we support our neighbors and make sure moms and young people are equipped and excited to go back to school?’”

During, the back-to-school festival, R.A.G.E association gave away 1,000 fully packed backpacks and school supplies. In addition, the festival also featured dozens of vendors that help restore the residents’ quality of life, according to an R.A.G.E. press release.

“This is just a way to show families that their community supports them and to also make sure residents know that the parks are safe places to use for festivals and activities,” Butler said. “It’s also an opportunity for community building, youth performances and resources for families, kid zones and back to school initiatives.”

The festival included performances from local youth talents and poets who shared powerful messages.

Butler highlighted that R.A.G.E.’s last event and sixth stop of their So Fresh Saturday” tour will take place during their Fall festival in September.

Report: Illinois’ Treatment of Mentally Ill Prisoners “Exceedingly Poor and Often Dangerous”

GO, IL – The first annual report of a federally-appointed monitor regarding the Illinois Department of Corrections’ (IDOC) treatment of mentally ill prisoners was released to the public recently. It confirms the complaints prisoners and their lawyers have made regarding the care provided to prisoners with mental illness. The 113-page report characterizes the psychiatric care as “grossly insufficient” and “extremely poor” in quality. The author of the report, Pablo Stewart, MD, was federally appointed as the result of the settlement of Rasho v. Walker, a class action lawsuit brought by Uptown People’s Law Center, Equip for Equality, Mayer Brown, and Dentons on behalf of all prisoners with mental illness in Illinois. “ The Illinois Department of Corrections is ahead of schedule with regard to some changes necessitated by the Rasho v. Walker settlement, including opening a desperately needed 44-bed mental health hospital in Elgin, and a dedicated mental health facility in Joliet.

Once opened, the new units should help relieve some of the harm being inflicted on those prisoners with the most serious mental illnesses. However, even when these facilities open, thousands of prisoners with serious mental illnesses will still not be receiving the care they require and are entitled to under the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution, according to a released statement.

IDOC estimates there are 12,000 prisoners with mental illness in the system; however, many experts think the actual number is much higher.

25 Years of Service

GOVERNMENTAL Affairs

Continued from Page 1

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

Matthew House is a nonprofit community based organization that will celebrate 25 years of

providing food, shelter, housing and support services to men and families who are homeless in the Chicagoland area on Sept. 16 at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Hotel.

The 25th Anniversary Gala Celebration entitled “Still We Rise” will honor twenty members of Chicago’s business, civic, faith and philanthropic community.

During the Gala, NBC 5 television personality, Art Norman will serve as the Master of Ceremony and there will be a special performance by Junius Paul Quartet featuring the incredible jazz songstress Dee Alexander, according to a Matthew House press release.

Dr. Sanja Stinson, who is the founding executive Director for Matthew House, said the organization decided to conduct a huge 25th year anniversary because 25 represent the silver jubilee celebration.

“We’re grateful that we are still here,” Stinson said. “Forty percent of our staff comes from our population that has been homeless.

Many of them have positions as coordinators, food service managers and program service workers who have served for seven to 25 years.”

Matthew House served as the only safe haven on the South Side of Chicago and

addresses emergency needs such as food, clothing, showers and overnight shelter.

Approximately 70 percent of the population served by Matthew House is homeless with 50 percent having been homeless for 5 to 10 years, according to matthewhousechicago.org.

Stinson said as a child her parents taught her to always give back to less fortunate people.

“Throughout my childhood, I saw my parents serve and provide for homeless people,” she said. “My father has eight girls and two boys but he adopted four additional children, which taught me to take care of the less fortunate.”

Stinson said during her early years of service, she noticed a strong need to help Chicago’s homeless.

“My question was what happens to them in the day time? When I would pass them by, I would see them sitting down with having no place to go. In the dead of the winter they would go into McDonalds and be put out and that’s when I realized we needed somewhere for [homeless individuals] to go.”

Matthew House also provides case management services, supportive housing services and placement, job training and placement and veterans assistance, according to matthewhousechicago.org.

Tickets for the Gala celebration are $100 and are available by calling (773) 536-6628.

COMMUNITY FOCUS ‘Disasters Don’t Plan Ahead. You Can.” is Theme for National Preparedness Month in September SPRINGFIELD – September is National Preparedness Month and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is joining with emergency management agencies throughout the state and across the U.S. to encourage people to spend a few moments during the month on disaster preparedness.

The campaign’s theme Disasters Don’t Plan Ahead. You Can. urges people to set aside time to discuss emergency plans with family members and develop a plan to stay safe when disaster strikes. The goal of this annual preparedness push is to increase personal and community disaster preparedness throughout the U.S. “We never know when the next disaster will strike, but there are actions we can take to be better prepared for the unexpected,” said IEMA Director James K. Joseph. “As we are seeing with Hurricane Harvey, even an expected weather event can have unexpected devastating consequences.”

Throughout September, IEMA will offer tips and

information on how to develop a family emergency communication plan, assemble an emergency supply kit, as well as ways to receive critical emergency warnings.

IEMA offers disaster preparedness information on the Ready Illinois website (www.Ready.Illinois.gov), a one-stop resource for detailed information about what to do before, during and after disasters.

In addition, throughout September IEMA will post daily preparedness tips on the Ready Illinois Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ReadyIllinois) and Twitter (@ ReadyIllinois).

During disasters, IEMA uses the Ready Illinois website, Facebook and Twitter pages to provide critical information about the incident, including shelter locations, road closures, safety information, photos and more.

Duckworth Announces Funding to Help Illinoisans Fight Opioid Crisis

On International Overdose Awareness Day, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced funding to help enable Illinoisans in Chicago to serve their communities by fighting the opioid crisis facing our state.

The funding, awarded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) which oversees civilian national service programs like AmeriCorps and others, will be used to support five AmeriCorps VISTA Members – a service program designed to alleviate poverty – to serve as Research Assistants at Chicago’s A Safe Haven Foundation (ASHF) with the development of programs and protocols to combat the opioid epidemic.

Duckworth, a combat Veteran and regular volunteer in her own community, has consistently pushed to expand opportunities for young Americans to give back to their community and country through programs like AmeriCorps VISTA. “Resolving our nation’s opioid crisis requires a comprehensive effort from officials at every level of government, and from local community organizations like A Safe Haven Foundation,” said Duckworth. “This funding will help AmeriCorps VISTA members serve their nation by helping combat one of the most devastating crises of our time.”

Duckworth continued to say that “Just as picking up a gun to defend our country is ‘American Service,’ so is assisting with disease prevention efforts to combat a national emergency. I’ll continue my work to ensure those working to treat and prevent opioid addiction have the resources they need to serve their communities.”

Obama Foundation Issues Request for Proposal to Four Construction Management Teams for Obama Presidential Center, Establishing Ambitious Goals for Diversity & Inclusion

The Obama Foundation recently issued a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) to four teams under consideration for the role of construction manager for the Obama Presidential Center (OPC).

The RFP highlights the Obama Foundation’s commitment to fostering inclusion and promoting diversity, as well as creating meaningful opportunities and jobs for local businesses, community members, and underrepresented communities in the South Side and throughout Chicago.

With projects and initiatives all over the world, the Obama Presidential Center will be based on the South Side of Chicago, a community near and dear to the Obamas.

The Obama Foundation is asking its construction manager candidates to commit to awarding 50% or more of its subcontracts to “diverse suppliers”, which in addition to minority (MBEs) and women business enterprises (WBEs) includes businesses owned by veterans, individuals with disabilities, and LGBTQ individuals.

The Foundation is requiring that no less than 35% of the OPC’s subcontracts to MBE firms. With these aggressive goals, the Foundation is hoping to set a new precedent for diversity and inclusion in major construction projects in Chicago and beyond.

2018 Illinois Gubernatorial Candidates Stand with Hospital Workers, Striking Fast-Food Cooks in Nationwide Labor Day Protests for $15, Union Rights

On Labor Day, thousands of McDonald’s and other fast-food cooks and cashiers went on strike in a record 400 cities. Hospitals housekeepers and nurses’ assistants joined the Fight for $15 at protests across the Midwest.

Candidates and those considering 2018 runs for governor in battlegrounds rallied with workers from Detroit to Des Moines, embracing their calls for $15 and union rights.

Among the marchers, was Senator and gubernatorial candidate Daniel Biss. Workers took over major intersections along the march and stopped at other fast food places like Subway and Dunkin Donuts.

“Today is my first time on strike. All in one day, I was able to send a strong message to McDonald’s and to Gov. Rauner that $15 an hour and union rights are exactly what workers need,” said Kayla Gray, a fast food worker at McDonald’s. “Since Rauner just vetoed $15, workers striking back on Labor Day was a perfect way for me and other fast food workers to rally against him and introduce the voting efforts we’re making. We’re going to do everything we can to make sure he’s not re-elected in 2018.”

Do you know what kind of converge you have when it comes to flood?

FREE SHIPPING ONLINE WITH $25 PURCHASE

By: Henry Benjamin, Allstate agency owner You don’t have to live in a high-risk flood zone to be affected by a flood. Floods and flash floods can occur anywhere. Just an inch of water can cause damage to your property. In fact, in the U.S., floods are the nation’s most common and costly natural disaster and cause millions of dollars in damage every year, according to FEMA. A 2013 Allstate survey revealed a knowledge gap among some Americans who believe they are covered in the case of flood, but in actuality, are not covered. Some people believe flood is part of their standard homeowner policy and sadly, don’t realize they need a separate flood policy until it’s too late.

Flood insurance is offered through the federal government’s National Flood Insurance Program and policies are sold and managed by private insurance companies like Allstate.

Now is the time to prepare for floods and consider their flood insurance needs, as floods can happen anywhere and in all 50 states.

Nearly 20 percent of flood claims come from moderate to low-risk flood zones.

Besides educating yourself on flood, I recommend reading through your insurance policy and if you have questions about coverage call an insurance expert. Here are a few other things property owners can do to help prepare, courtesy of the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety: • Keep drains, gutters and downspouts clear of debris.

• Prepare an evacuation plan with a kit that includes insurance documents, medications and critical items in case you need to leave your home for a few days.

• Inspect sump pumps and drains regularly to ensure proper operation.

• Have a licensed electrician raise electric components at least 12 inches above the expected flood levels for your area.

• To prevent sewage backup, have a licensed plumber install an interior or exterior backflow valve.

Make sure your yard’s grading (slope) directs water away from the building.

The tips provided here are guidelines. Please use your best judgment when evaluating your flood preparation needs. For information about flood insurance or visit /www.fema.gov/ national-flood-insuranceprogram.

National Flood Insurance Program policies can take up to 30 days to go into effect. Call me at 773-723-0400 to talk about your flood insurance needs

EXCERPT FROM GUIDELINES FOR A MASTER One of the habits that may cause a loss of happiness stems from the attitude of being overly obsessed about your success relative to other people. Sometimes it can be intimidating when someone else is smarter or more successful than you.

Consequently, when that person exhibits more talent or demonstrates more skill, it may be difficult for you to be happy for their achievements. You may tend to begrudge the individual’s success or resent the person; but you shouldn’t. As Bruce Leroy cautioned, don’t get mad at someone who knows more than you do. It ain’t their fault.

Bruce Leroy is absolutely correct. It’s not the other person’s fault that they know more than you. The fault belongs to you.

Your anger is misplaced. It is not the other person’s knowledge or success that has you upset; it’s your own feelings of inadequacy.

It is a reflection that you are not happy with your own current state of affairs.

Nevertheless, it can be difficult to admit your short comings because they highlight a discrepancy between your current self-image and the self-image that you desire to project.

Feelings of jealousy, emotional insecurity, or inadequacy can severely interfere with your ability to experience happiness. Therefore, if you can eliminate these negative feelings, it can lead to a happier life. The first thing you should do is recognize that comparing yourself to others is a meaningless endeavor.

The answer is not to compete with other people but to be the best self that you can be.

After you make a conscious effort to be grateful for your own value, you should set about the task of self-improvement because there is always room for growth in all aspects of your life.

If you want to achieve extreme happiness, work on improving yourself and cultivate an attitude of thankfulness and appreciation for your own value.

(BPT) - Ayesha Curry was raised by great women who instilled in her a passion for cooking. This passion has helped Ayesha both launch her career and prioritize spending time with her family in the kitchen. But even as a celebrity chef, author and foodie, Ayesha sometimes struggles to think of new, wholesome and delicious meals to bring to her table. When she finds herself needing a little food inspiration, Ayesha turns to the experiences and flavors of her childhood.

Mango love runs deep Ayesha grew up with a Jamaican grandmother who had mango trees in her backyard, so eating and cooking with the fruit reminds her of home. A lot of people don’t know this, but mango is the world’s most popular fruit and iconic in many cuisines across the globe. While its sweetness and versatility make it a perfect addition to any favorite dish, mango is also delicious on its own and is often simply paired with the spices of the country.

In Ayesha’s home, not only does everyone love mango for its incredible flavor, but because it’s a superfruit. At 100 calories per cup, mangos are packed with vitamins and nutrients, and are a good source of fiber, making them a perfect food for any family.

Make it with mango!

When Ayesha is in the mood for something special and with a little cultural flare, she whips up her JerkRubbed Chicken Skewers and Mango Salsa. Jerk chicken is a family-favorite recipe for Ayesha, and adding the sweet flavor of mango gives it a delicious twist.

1/4 tsp salt and pepper Jerk Chicken Rub & Skewers 3 cloves minced garlic 3 tbs olive oil 1 shallot, finely minced 1 tbs fresh thyme leaves, finely minced 1 tbs brown sugar 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp ground clove 1/2 tsp ground allspice 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1 pound chicken breast, cubed Skewers, soaked in water Instructions: Mango Salsa Combine all ingredients.

Let sit and allow flavors to meld while you prepare the chicken.

Jerk Chicken Rub & Skewers Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Coat cubed chicken well with the rub. Marinate for 30 minutes or more.

Skewer 4-6 pieces of chicken per stick. Cook on a grill pan at medium high heat. Turn frequently to avoid burning.

Cook for about 15 minutes or until juices run clear. Place the chicken on or off the skewer and spoon the Mango Salsa on top.

Get your hands on a perfect mango Mangos are available year-round, so you can always get your hands on a perfect mango. If you’d like to make mango your go-to ingredient, here are some tips and tricks Ayesha

shares with family and friends: Selection. To find a ripe mango, just squeeze gently. A ripe mango will be slightly soft like a peach or avocado.Ripening.

Keep unripe mangos at room temperature. Once ripe, mangos can be moved to the refrigerator to slow down ripening for several days.Cutting. To cut a mango, simply slice off the sides of the fruit, avoiding the large seed in the center. Once you have these two sides, you can slice or dice as needed. Then, simply scoop it out of the skin. You can also cut around the seed to get two extra slices of mango and let your kids gnaw on the seed!Mangos at the grocery store While there are many mango varieties to covet, Ayesha’s kids love Honey mangos because they’re super sweet and creamy!

Here’s a quick look at the most common mango varieties you’ll find in U.S. grocery stores: Honey. Sweet, creamy and vibrant yellow. Small wrinkles appear when fully ripe. Peak availability is March - June.

Francis. Rich, spicy and sweet, with yellow skin and green overtones. Peak availability is April - June.

Haden. Rich in flavor with fine fibers, often bright red with green and yellow overtones. Peak availability is March - May. Keitt. Sweet and fruity, with juicy flesh, limited fibers and green skin. Peak availability is July September.

Kent. Sweet and rich, dark green mangos with red blush.

Peak availability is December - February and June - August.

Tommy Atkins. Mild and sweet, these dark red mangos are the most widely grown variety coming into the U.S. Peak availability is March - July and September - October.

Zerina shares her Top Beauty & Fashion Solves When garments start to pill from the wash, you can remove the fuzz with a razor.

Simply run the razor lightly over the area and then carefully remove the pieces that collect in the razor. Repeat until all the pills are gone!

Did you just NEED to have those leather loafers that were on sale but maybe just half a size too small? Put on a pair on thick socks and slip your feet into the shoes. Take a hairdryer and on medium heat, start to warm up the shoes. This will help the leather stretch and mold to your feet.

Avoid dealing with pesky white marks and

trying to remove the stain using various methods – dryer sheets, rubbing fabric together, sponges, etc. – by using Dove Invisible Dry Spray Antiperspirant. It goes on invisible to leave no white marks on 100 colors of clothing.

When a zipper just won’t budge you can rub a bit of Vaseline along where it is stuck.

The Vaseline will help the zipper slide and wiggle free!

If a button is loose and you don’t have time to re-sew it into place, take some clear nail polish and dab it on the knot, then hold the button in place for a minute. It acts as glue and will make it more secure until you can get a proper fix!

Have a run in your stockings? Prevent it from growing bigger with hairspray. Simply spray the area where the run started and it will hold the fabric together.

Donshea Hopkins Empowers Teens at Recent Teen Spa Event

Looking for balance? Fighting fatigue?

Your diet might be a place to start (BPT) - Adults today are constantly searching for balance in life. While balance can be broadly defined, in simple terms it is rooted in equal proportions. The human body demands an equilibrium in order to sustain proper mental, physical and spiritual health. But, achieving balance can be difficult when everyday personal and environmental stresses (such as work, poor diet, harsh sunlight and pollution) expose the body to cell-damaging oxidative stress.

The obstacles to reaching balance are only growing due to shifting lifestyle choices. Today’s adults are active and trying to cram more into a 24-hour day than ever before. In fact, fatigue is a common issue for working adults.

Meanwhile, an increasing number of adults are not getting the nutrients they need to keep their bodies properly fueled to meet the demands faced in a single day. In fact, according to a survey from Instantly, more than 53 percent of Americans skip breakfast at least once a week, while 12 percent never have breakfast at all. The World Health Organization recommends eating at least 400 grams, or five servings, of fruits and vegetables per day, but approximately 75 percent of people worldwide fail to meet that minimum recommendation, creating significant nutrient gaps.

Let’s face it, it can be tough to eat a healthy and well-balanced meal morning, noon and night. For that reason alone, supplements, which fill in nutrient gaps, can ensure you get the right quantities and varieties of nutrients your body needs. Supplements are becoming a critical part of the everyday routine for those looking to do it all and still ensure optimal nutrition. When you incorporate the adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals into your diet, particularly plant-

based supplements that add phytonutrients, you can easily fill nutrient gaps and achieve optimal nutrition. By following a few easy steps, you can be on the path to achieving balance.

Educate yourself on your body’s needs The first step in achieving nutritional balance is understanding the nutrients your body needs to function properly.

Knowing what phytonutrients are, and the health benefits associated with them, is key. Phytonutrients are nutrients found in fruits, vegetables and other sources. They are associated with a variety of health benefits, such as eye, bone, joint and heart health, as well as supporting the immune system and brain health. Many phytonutrients are also powerful antioxidants that help fight celldamaging free radicals.

Taking a multivitamin or multi-mineral supplement each day is a great way to fill in nutrient gaps. Amway’s Nutrilite Double X, for example, is a supplement that delivers a comprehensive and balanced range of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients to help your body’s natural antioxidant defense mechanisms fight cell-damaging free radicals and support whole body health. Nutrilite Double X contains 12 essential vitamins, 10 essential minerals and phytonutrients from 22 fruits, vegetables and herbs sourced from plants grown on Nutrilite-certified organic farms and Nutricertcertified supplier farms.

The vitamin B family is made up of eight B vitamins, each of which helps your body form energy. Your body requires a regular supply of B vitamins in order to support energy-yielding metabolism.

Most importantly, B vitamins need to be taken in the right amounts and at the right times. Amway’s Nutrilite Vitamin B Dual-Action supplement provides your body with an instant and extended release of B vitamins to create and sustain energy within the body. Knowing when to take vitamins and supplements and the right quantities you need is critical to achieving optimal health.

“Amway’s Nutrilite Double X supplement is strategically designed to provide key vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients your body needs,” said Steve Missler, Principal Research Scientist at Amway. “Together with Vitamin B Dual-Action, these two products help provide the body with the quality nutrients needed to function properly and maintain a healthy balance. However, as with all nutrition plans, it is important to consult with a medical professional or health expert to determine your specific nutritional needs.”

Achieve nutrient balance When it comes to finding the right supplement, another tip is to look for third-party verifications of product quality. Nutrilite Double X and Vitamin B Dual-Action supplements are certified by NSF International, an independent, accredited organization that conducts rigorous tests to assure consumers that products contain what is stated on the label.

It is important to ensure that the supplement you choose is also gentle on your stomach. Starting your day with a healthy breakfast along with a supplemental source of phytonutrients and B vitamins can help ensure you get optimal nutrition throughout the day.

Achieving nutrient balance and fighting fatigue do not need to be uphill battles. Coffee and energy drinks can be effective for short-term needs, but are not the solution. There are many ways to proactively supplement your diet with the nutrients you need and to help fight fatigue before it begins. Supplements are an easy, safe and effective way to ensure you get enough vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, while also ensuring you get the right B vitamins to help fight fatigue. Jump start your day with essential phytonutrients and B vitamins and help your body endure your active life.

INTRODUCING OUR

HOMEBUYER GRANT PROGRAM

We want to help make your dream of homeownership a reality. If the down payment is the only thing standing between you and your own home, we may have a tool for you. We’ve partnered with local nonprofits to offer the Homebuyer Grant Program to help first-time homebuyers overcome the challenge of covering a down payment. This program can offer up to $2,000 to qualifying borrowers purchasing a home as their primary residence and can be paired with federal, state, and local grants or loans. If purchasing a home seems out of reach because of the down payment, we’ve got a solution for you.

TO QUALIFY, HOMEBUYERS MUST: • Be applying for your first mortgage • Have an annual household income at or below 80 percent of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s median income of the county in which the property is located, adjusted for household size • Contribute at least $1,000 from personal funds toward the purchase of your home • Complete an approved homebuyer counseling program • Be applying for a minimum five-year loan term and, on adjustable rate mortgages, an initial interest rate lock period of five years minimum
