briefly EDUCATION Chance The Rapper Takes To Twitter With His Desire to Attend Clark Atlanta University Grammy winner sends viral tweet about his educational dreams

ATLANTA (August 28, 2017) Grammy-Award winning rapper, social activist and philanthropist, Chance the Rapper, took to Twitter Sunday evening as he expressed his desire to attend Clark Atlanta University (CAU). His tweet instantly went viral: \“I was tryna go to Clark ATL. I’m still tryna go. Like not honorary, the full blown ya dig. Can someone help me sign up,” tweeted the 24-year-old rapper. \Immediately CAU alumni and staff encouraged Chance to pursue his dreams. Chance, whose real name is Chancellor Bennett, is a Chicago native. He grew up on Chicago’s South Side and recently made headlines for donating one million dollars to the Chicago Public School system. Sources close to the Bennett family reveal that Chance always wanted to attend CAU and that “his tweet didn’t come out of the blue”. \Second to Atlanta, Chicago sends the largest pool of applicants to CAU of other U.S. cities. “Amazing talent comes from the Windy City,” says Getchel L. Caldwell, II, Senior Vice President for Institutional Advancement and University Relations. “Chicago students travel to Atlanta for the very education and cultural experience that our city has to offer and we welcome Chance with open arms.” \Next month Clark Atlanta University will visit Chicago for the 20th Annual Football Classic. CAU Panthers are suiting up to play in a highly anticipated game against Grambling State University (GSU) on Saturday, September 30.

HEALTH BACK TO SCHOOL DENTAL CHECK LIST FOR PARENTS

The state of Illinois requires that all children (public, private, and parochial) in kindergarten, second grade and sixth grade be required to have an oral health examination with a signed Proof of Dental Examination Form signed by their dentist. If the dental forms are not turned in the school may hold the child’s report card. DecisionOne Dental CEO Dr. AJ Acierno’s “Back to School Dental Check List” for parents includes information parents need to know for children of all ages. “Back to school is the perfect time to re-set habits and routines, like brushing and flossing twice a day, explained Dr. Acierno. “Although the state only requires seeing the dentist in kindergarten, second and sixth grade, all children should see the dentist every six months for cleanings and exams. August is the perfect time to schedule not just your back to school exam, but your six month check up as well,” he said.

POLITICS & LAW Plan to study chronic absence cases becomes law

CHICAGO – To better understand the scope and effects of truancy and absences so officials can address them, a new law will require schools to collect and review chronic absence data. Sponsored in the Illinois Senate

by State Senator Jacqueline Collins, the measure was signed into law recently. The legislation also encourages schools to provide support to students who are chronically absent. The legislation was House Bill 3139, and takes effect in July of 2018.

CHICAGO – A historic south side hospital that cares for the poor and indigent in the middle of a healthcare desert will receive a $4 million loan through the office of Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs.

Roseland Community Hospital will use the money to refinance debt so it can continue to serve as the area’s only option for emergency and health care.

The 92‑year-old safety-net hospital qualifies for the loan because it has taken dramatic steps to stabilize its finances after poor record-keeping and questionable leadership threatened to close the hospital in 2013, Frerichs said today.

“Four years ago, the state of Illinois offered Roseland the financial lifeline it so greatly needed in return for the promise that it would put its financial house in order,” Frerichs said. “The leadership of the hospital and the greater community rose up to meet that challenge and, as a result, have earned the trust and the high expectations that come with this financial assistance.”

The Illinois treasury will collateralize the loan with Signature Bank, which will provide a belowmarket loan to Roseland Community Hospital.

Roseland chose Signature because they have worked together previously. Had Roseland secured a loan without the assistance of the treasurer’s office, it would have paid a significantly larger interest rate.

“The entire New Roseland Hospital Family is thrilled to continue our partnership with the State of Illinois and our outstanding Treasurer Michael W. Frerichs,” said Tim Egan, CEO/President of Roseland Community Hospital.

Roseland faces unique financial challenges as a small, independent hospital. An estimated 71 percent of its revenue comes from Medicaid and Medicare.

Very few of its patients benefit from private health insurance which typically is used to offset belowmarket payment rates of government insurance.

Roseland’s treatment options also are limited because it is not a trauma center nor affiliated with a large healthcare system.

In June of 2013, the state of Illinois granted the hospital $350,000 so that it could meet payroll and keep open its doors. Tied to the funding was Roseland’s commitment to an independent financial review and the selection of an independent chief restructuring officer to oversee the operation and develop a long‑term plan.

That same month, Egan, a vice president at Norwegian American Hospital on Chicago’s west side, was tapped to be the restructuring officer. Egan and the new administration created a three‑year strategic plan based on five pillars: Patients, Physicians, Employees, Community and Collaboration.

The greater public took notice. Earlier this year, the Chicago Healthcare Executives Forum honored Egan with the 2016 American College of Healthcare Executives Regents Healthcare Leadership Award.

Significant to the honor was Egan’s leadership at Roseland to stabilize finances, implement an electronic health records conversion, obtain new medical equipment, and increase employment.

“Roseland Community Hospital saves lives,” Frerichs said. “Roseland serves our poor and most vulnerable and deserves our assistance because we must all look after each other.”

COMMUNITY FOCUS Black AIDS Institute Honors Heroes in the Struggle LOS ANGELES- The Black AIDS Institute inducts a select group of individuals and organizations that have made commendable heroic contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS in Black America. The 16th Annual Heroes in the Struggle Awards Presentation & Reception will be held on September 16, 2017 at the Darryl F. Zanuck Theater at 20th Century Fox Studios in Los Angeles at 6:00 PM. The 2017 inductees include Taraji P. Henson, Laverne Cox, Vanessa Williams, Alfre Woodard, Gina Belafonte, and Gina Brown. The 2017 Corporate Hero is Novant Health. Black AIDS Institute Board Member Jussie Smollett serves as Chair and Host. The 2017 theme is Black Men Honoring Black Women and celebrated R&B singer/ songwriter Ledisi performs a special tribute. The awards presentation is produced by Russelli & Hall.

“At the age of fifteen, I began working with the Black AIDS Institute and I am proud to be a member of the Board of Directors,” said Jussie Smollett. “Although it is not spoken about like it used to, the AIDS epidemic is not over, especially in Black communities. I am humbled to pay tribute to these remarkable women in our community.”

Nearly 100 individuals have been inducted into the Heroes in the Struggle Hall of Fame over the last 16 years. It is a photographic tribute to HIV/AIDS allies; elected officials and policy makers; artists from television, film, stage and music; civil rights leaders; health-care providers; advocates and activists; and people living with HIV/AIDS. Since its debut in 2002, the exhibit has traveled the world—raising awareness; challenging Black Americans, key thought leaders and institutions to get involved in their communities; and generating

critical conversation about HIV stigma, testing, prevention, treatment and care.

“Black women are the single most important engine in the survival of Black people, including with HIV/AIDS,” said Phill Wilson, President and CEO of the Black AIDS Institute. “59% of women living with HIV in the United States are Black. Black women account for 60% of the new HIV infections among women, and are 16 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV than white women. This event not only allows us to acknowledge the invaluable role Black women have played in the AIDS fight, but it helps raise awareness about the devastating impact AIDS continues to have on Black women and the opportunities we have to turn that around if Black men and women work together.”

Tickets and sponsorship packages are priced at various levels, from VIP packages to a limited number of community seats for as little as $75.00.

“Because the event is completely underwritten by major donors, every penny raised goes directly into efforts to end the epidemic, help people get into care and stay in care, protect themselves from HIV infections, and advocate for sound HIV/AIDS policies,” said Wilson.

For more information about purchasing tickets, becoming a sponsor, joining the host committee, or placing an advertisement in the program book, go to www.heroesinthestruggle.org or contact Wendell Miller.

Alderman Harris Announces 8TH Ward Back-To-School Parade

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! The Office of 8th Ward Alderman Michelle A. Harris and 33rd District State Representative Marcus C. Evans recently announced the 11th Annual “8th Ward Back-toSchool Parade & Jamboree” will take place Saturday, September 9, 2017.

“Today I’m spreading the word throughout the 8th Ward, and to local south side Chicago residents about a great opportunity to get outside, enjoy the late summer weather and join me for an exciting neighborhood event, on Saturday, September 9th, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm,” said Harris.

The September 9th end-of-summer parade is a high-energy, family-friendly, end of summer event. This year’s theme is “One Community-One Family & A Celebration of Education”, focusing on celebrating the dual themes highlighting the importance of education and stopping neighborhood violence through community engagement.

“I strongly believe that every child, whatever neighborhood they live in - deserves a quality education, that’s why I’ve been committed to hosting this event each year, for the youth of Chicago’s 8th Ward,” emphasized Alderman Harris. “We must focus on educational excellence and achievement today, so these young people can participate in the career opportunities for tomorrow.”

The Parade steps off starting at 10:00 a.m. in front of her service office at 8539 South Cottage Grove, and culminating at Jesse Owens Park, located at 8800 South Clyde Avenue. After the parade, the ‘Jamboree’ will take place in the park from 12noon 2:00 p.m., with performances by The South Shore Drill Team, the Jesse White Tumblers and other local performers.

2017 Cream of the Crop Photo Winners Announced Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs recently announced the winners of the 2017 Cream of the Crop Photo Contest. The annual contest encourages young photographers to share their vision of agriculture in Illinois.

The fair kicked off on August 10 with the Twilight Parade and ended on August 20.

Freshmen At Noble Charter Schools Return to Class Across Chicago Continued from Page 1

CHICAGO, IL – Last Week, freshmen students entered Noble buildings across Chicago to begin their first day of public high school, and the 1,400 staff members of the Noble Network of Charter Schools joined elected officials and community members in welcoming and celebrating their arrival.

The freshmen at Noble’s 17 high schools are a part of Noble’s 12,000 member student population. Together, Noble students comprise more than 10% of all public high school students in Chicago. By beginning school recently, Noble students were in class at least two weeks earlier than traditional Chicago public schools, with an extended school day.

At Noble’s Johnson College Prep in the Englewood neighborhood, students and staff were welcomed by Illinois State Senator Mattie Hunter of the 3rd District and Chicago Democratic Committeeman Kevin Bailey of the 20th District, as well as representatives from R.A.G.E., the Resident Association of Greater Englewood.

Johnsn’s Principal, Matt Brown, expressed his excitement for the new school year. “Today I get to look

out and see all of these new students, knowing that in four years I’ll get to shake their hands and send them off to college,” said Brown.

By mid-morning, all freshmen at the 17 Noble high schools were engaged in orientation sessions, and Noble staff members used the time to help every student adjust to their new surroundings. Noble freshmen typically begin class a few days before the rest of the student body, with each day dedicated to a deliberate familiarization process that allows students to ease into the safe culture and high expectations of a Noble school.

“This reminds me of my first day at DuSable High School when I was a student,” said Sen. Hunter. “I didn’t know what to expect, and I was a little shy, but looking forward to the educational opportunities to come. I didn’t have a welcoming like this, which helps break the shyness in a good way.”

The Class of 2021 joins a growing line of accomplished Noble students and alumni. 99% of Noble’s most recent graduates in the Class of 2017 were accepted into college.

LABOR DAY SALE NOW-MON, SEPT. 4

Businesses Seek Guidance On Health Plan ‘Affordability’ And ‘Access’ (NAPSI)—When it comes to the national discourse on health insurance, politicians and the media frequently combine the terms “affordability” and “access” as if they naturally go together.

But across the U.S., employers and their workers are finding that a balanced combination of the two is more exception than rule. This is why so many are turning to benefit experts for help, particularly smaller businesses with 100 or fewer employees.

“Today, there are a lot of new plan options with many variables that can be overwhelming to decipher,” Goldstein said. “An agent can provide the necessary guidance and clarity to understand and navigate the tradeoffs around cost, choice and availability.” It’s also where

The Problem

With so much high-profile and public discussion around health care reform, the concepts of affordability and access are getting bandied about as never before. Yet market forces frequently conspire to keep these ideas misaligned or even at direct odds.

Common examples are new network configurations that offer a cost-access trade-off that’s not always simple to decode. For instance, a plan might offer lower premiums for pricesensitive customers in exchange for access limits to certain care providers—limits that are not always clear to consumers.

This often leads to a very frustrating disconnect for businesses and employees seeking the best of both.

A Solution

One way to dial back frustration is to get connected to a good broker or benefit adviser, says Ron Goldstein, president and CEO of CHOICE Administrators, the nation’s leader in developing and administering employee-choice health benefit programs and exchanges for employer groups. The company’s exchanges include the country’s first and only multicarrier private exchange, CaliforniaChoice.

well-designed health care exchanges, private and public, can shine because they enable plan comparisons based on price along with many other choice factors.

Take affordability. For many, the word connotes “inexpensive,” but the term is relative and depends on a myriad of factors such as household income, care needs, overall health and much more. At the core, affordability boils down to price—for the plan premium, deductibles, co-pays, out-of-pocket costs and so forth.

Access, on the other hand, is an extremely complicated descriptor. At its baseline, “access” refers to whether physician, pharmacist, therapist, hospital and other provider services are available and, if so, if there is an adequate supply.

This definition, however, only scratches the surface. Factors such as location, quality, use and more are also important components in the overall equation.

Also, coverage levels can lead to unintentional distortions or misrepresentations of “accessibility.”

A person covered by a Bronze plan living in a more populated region may have much better access to care than someone with Platinum coverage in a rural area. Assessing these potential disparities requires a keen eye and the practiced hand that a health plan professional can effectively provide.

Clearly, the notion of health care accessibility is extremely complex. That said, most people tend to internalize and define “access” personally.

They want to know that their doctor, specialist or hospital is available to them before making a plan selection. This is simple to say but not always easy to do. Benefit specialists play an integral role in helping small businesses shop and compare plans while working with employees to confirm that selected plans connect them to desired networks and care providers.

Conversations about affordability and access in the health care marketplace will likely continue to dominate headlines for months and years to come. Leaning heavily on the skills and insights of advisers will help businesses and their employees find the right equilibrium.

SAVE BIG ON TONS OF NEW FALL FINDS!

ADD UP THE SAVINGS!

The United States 6th Circuit Court of Appeals’ reversal of a federal court’s decision in two lawsuits filed by Flint, Michigan residents over the contamination of their drinking water, has emboldened lawyers and their plaintiffs, who said residents of the predominately African-American city still are being billed for dirty water they cannot use.

“The court’s decision means that the trial court’s dismissal of the case was legally incorrect and the appeals court has sent it back,” said Nicholas A. Szokoly, a partner in the Baltimore firm of Murphy, Falcon & Murphy, who represents Flint residents in a class-action suit. “A lot of our case deals with the fact that residents in Flint have been charged three-times the national rate for water, because the city is trying to balance their budget and these charges and fees come at the exact time that they couldn’t use the water.”

Szokoly continued: “Not only did they come during the period in which they were getting contaminated water and having their children poisoned, but the water bills kept coming and they were told not to drink the water by an EPA mandate

and they were also told that if they didn’t pay their bill, they’d have a lien placed on their home and face foreclosure. That’s not America.”

In the latest ruling, the court overturned a lower federal court ruling that dismissed a major class-action lawsuit filed in 2015 on behalf of tens of thousands of Flint residents against Gov. Rick Snyder (R-Mich.), the city of Flint and city officials who were involved in deciding to switch to the Flint River as its water source.

A three-judge panel reversed that decision, while dismissing the possibility of seeking penalties for Snyder in one case, the state of Michigan, the state Department of Environmental Quality and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

The decision allows the plaintiffs to seek relief from Snyder in another case in the form of compensation for education, medical monitoring and evaluation services for ongoing harm from Flint’s contaminated water crisis, according to the Detroit News.

The court allowed cases seeking financial damages against individual state employees, the city of Flint, city employees and state-appointed emergency managers to proceed.

APPEALS COURT SAYS FLINT WATER LAWSUIT CAN CONTINUE

By Stacy M. Brown (NNPA Newswire Contributor)

GET

Attorney General Bill Schuette and his legal team have pursued criminal and misdemeanor charges against or accepted plea deals with 15 people including former Flint employees and former and current state officials, as well as two former Flint emergency managers appointed by Snyder, a Republican.

The class-action lawsuits involve Flint residents who experienced personal injury and property damage from the Flint River decision, after they were exposed to toxic lead that leached from the city’s pipes into the water supply.

Emergency managers made the decision to switch to the Flint River, and state officials and local officials failed to use corrosion control chemicals that would have prevented the lead leaching, according to The Detroit News.

The plaintiffs alleged that their constitutional rights were violated and that they were deprived of “the equal protection of the laws, or of equal privileges under the laws,” according to the court’s opinion.

The lower court ruled that the Safe Drinking Water Act stopped the plaintiffs from seeking damages, but the appeals panel ruling allows U.S. District Judge Judith Levy to continue weighing the issue.

SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING: ARE YOU A CARD-CARRYING CHRISTIAN?

By James Washington (The Dallas Weekly/ NNPA Member)

Just how hard is it to be a card carrying Christian these days?

Republicans, Democrats, the NAACP, the ACLU all carry cards and encourage like-minded people to become cardJames Washington carrying members. You can get a car for just about any group or organization.

Now when it comes to being a spiritual card-carrying man or woman of faith, the results can be devastating; someone scream, “Incoming!” for there is indeed an artillery barrage headed our way. Scripture suggests that, historically, life was no easy task for those early practitioners of the Christian faith. Crucifixion, becoming lion food for fun and games, beheadings and, at a minimum, being labeled an outcast, were normal expectations for those who believed and then lived according to the Word of God. Is today so different?

Once one takes up the standard of this revolutionary thinking, once you commit, once you decide to live humbly and mercifully in love and forgiveness, isn’t it interesting the kind of attention you attract?

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” —1 Peter 5:8-9 (NIV).

Looking around the world today, it would be naïve not to recognize that religious persecution is still a critical component of man’s inhumanity to man. Real and fake news will show you that people all over the world are being annihilated for the God they worship. We sometimes take for granted the religious freedom we have in this country and I believe that has lulled us into a false belief that being

Inspirations

a Christian is easy. Well it’s not. It’s empowering. It’s enlightening. It’s eternal.

But it is not easy.

The good news is we are not alone and never have been. Living for God is probably the best realty check. Its reward is an inner understanding of the workings of the universe that affords one the idea that physical life is temporary while the spiritual is eternal. Many of us believe in life after physical death. The faithful have some insight into this. Life as we know it can be cruel. We have come to think that eternal life is just the opposite. Rationalizing the difference is where and when faith resides. Is it any wonder then that belief in a deity that invites humility, demands love and recognizes mercy is cause for ruthless and radical reaction among those who would live otherwise? Is it any wonder that love for Christ Jesus invites the wrath of Lucifer in all of his forms? That spiritual card we carry as Christians indeed needs to be worn as a red badge of courage, because courage is what it’s going to take to withstand the ridicule and violence of this world, as well as the scorn of those who would tempt you with the weaknesses of your passions. And lastly, courage is a prerequisite for the certainty of death that will befall all of us.

If life after death is a fact that most can agree upon, then I believe it stands to reason that our membership card is most assuredly a ticket into a kingdom of blood and faith preserved for believers; the same believers who are shunned and persecuted and murdered today and yesterday in the name of God. I continue to be moved by the acts of faith in the Bible where mere acknowledgement of one’s beliefs in the Son of God invites certain death. This is not ancient history; not if you profess Jesus is still Lord.

May God bless and keep you always.

ARE YOUR HABITS WORKING FOR OR AGAINST YOU? It is not really a secret that the habits we employ today are the predictors of our experiences tomorrow. Therefore, the gateway to a preferred future lies in our ability to modify our habitual patterns of behavior and ensure that our thinking, feeling, and actions are more consistently aligned with the good desires of our heart. Because habits are automatic patterns, we rarely think about them. Perhaps now is as good a time as any to recalibrate these automatic approaches and adopt some new, different patterns as seeds to be sewn into the harvest of your tomorrow.

This is not to suggest that every habit we have needs to be changed. In fact, most of the habits we have are useful. We all learn to write and develop the complex skill of writing through habit. Habits give us the ability to perform hundreds of mundane tasks without devoting precious energy and creative capacity to the task. There is something to be said for being able to tie, strap, or buckle ones shoes without exerting a ton of mental attention. Habits are wonderful when used the right way.

What happens when we develop what might be considered a bad habit? When we develop bad habits, we establish ways of thinking and behaving that produce undesirable and unproductive experiences.

These undesirable experiences collide with the better versions of our self and we have difficulty reconciling why our new wine inspiration seems to keep getting lost in the wine skins of our former thinking, feeling, words, and actions. A bad habit never goes away on its own. Moreover, it is an undo it yourself project. As Jim Rohn suggested, “You don’t get better by chance, you get better by change.”

Fortunately, if we have learned the habits, then we can unlearn the habits. If you have ever seen a stream run across a rock over a period of time, you know that the stream can cut right through the rock because of its consistency and persistency. Similarly, we overcome unproductive habits by consistently and persistently reconditioning the thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the actions we take. In order to do something you have never done, you have to become someone you have never been, but then, that is not really a secret.

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
