GOVERNMENTAL Affairs Janice Garth

By Katherine Newman and Christopher Shuttlesworth

In January, the Citizen celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a feature entitled MLK: MILITANT OF THE 21ST CENTURY where Lee A. Daniels discussed Dr. King’s command for individuals to live up to humanity’s best possibilities and how that command has become particularly compelling again because of the remarkable juxtaposition of presentday developments. Daniels’ article included a timeline outlining important developments during King’s lifetime and the milestones which made this iconic civil rights leader great.

Turning its attention to Black History Month in February, the Citizen recognized the achievements of African Americans in agriculture, business, medicine, science and other fields.

Calvin Flowers, an inventor who created Tel-Loc, a company that produced his Security Jack products was highlighted. The invention locks touchtone phones and internet services.

Flowers’ business sold more than $1 million worth of products to Walgreens.

Also during Black History Month, award-winning author Art Burton, a retired South Suburban African American History Professor, hosted a Black History Month lecture where he shared unknown African American

history facts at the Kindig Performing Center. Burton said a number of African American pioneers who people may not know include Jim Beckwourth, a famous African American mountain man.

Beckwourth, played a significant role in the early settlement in the western region in America and was the only African American pioneer to write a novel on his travels ‘from the everglades of Florida to the Pacific Ocean and from southern Canada to northern Mexico.

During the month of March, the Far South Community Action Council (FSCAC), local parents and Illinois State Representatives held a press conference at Corliss Early Stem High School to show their concern over a lack of funding in Chicago Public Schools.

As the FSCAC fought for quality education for local students, three-time Grammy Winner Chance the Rapper, announced the winners of the 2017 Bud Billiken Royal Court on Mar. 25, 2017 after a private movie screening at the newly remodeled Studio Movie Grill (“SMG”) theatre, 210 W. 87th St. In April, during the celebration of its 52nd anniversary, the Citizen looked back on the history of some of the neighborhoods it covers. The conversation turned to a discussion about the migration of blacks from the south to the north with North Central College History Professor Ann Keating

pointing out that by 1970, African Americans constituted 33 percent of Chicago’s population.

Former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a community event on May 3, 2017 at the South Shore Cultural Center, where the Obama Foundation released the conceptual vision and site map for the Obama Presidential Center.

As local entrepreneurs joined in on the race for Illinois Governor, U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush endorsed Chris Kennedy as the next governor of Illinois in June 2017, saying Kennedy would bring “radical change” to state government with a focus on helping the middle class and poor families who have been neglected under Governor Bruce Rauner.

In July, lawmakers in Illinois passed a new state budget

after overriding Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto.

The crisis took a toll on social service organizations, including Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI), one of the largest statewide nonprofit social service organizations. LSSI still paid a price for Illinois’ budget crisis by having to make program and staff cuts mainly affecting senior home-care programs.

In August the Citizen launched a new paper called the Citizen Suburban Times. The cover story for the first issues was a profile on Dr. Stacie J. Stephenson and Mr. Richard J Stephenson.

Dr. Stephenson, DC, CNS, DABAAHP, FAARM, is a recognized physician and lecturer focused on regenerative, lifestyle, functional and innovative natural medicine.

The Far South Community Action Council (FSCAC), concerned parents and Illinois State Representatives held a press conference at Corliss Early Stem High School to show their growing concern over a lack of funding in Chicago Public Schools.

During the month of its 52nd anniversary, the Chicago Citizen took a look back on some of the neighborhoods in its coverage areas including Pullman among others.

(BPT) - Locking doors and windows and leaving a light on used to deter criminals from breaking into homes when you were away on vacation, but our obsession with sharing photos and experiences in real time on social media has created a whole new security risk for travelers.

According to Mercury Insurance, burglaries involving social media have become all too common these days.

“Instead of looking for physical signs that a home is unoccupied, burglars can simply scan Instagram posts, monitor Twitter feeds and check Facebook for signs that someone isn’t home. Posted photos can also show them exactly what to look for when they break in,” says Mercury Insurance Vice President of Claims Kevin Quinn. “Oversharing on social media is commonplace and built-in smartphone features like geotagging, which share the user’s exact location when they post, are only

making things easier for thieves.”

One example is a Mercury claimant who took his family on vacation to Cancun, Mexico. The family was very active on social media, publicizing their upcoming vacation and continuing to post updates throughout the trip. Thieves used this information to break into the claimant’s home and steal nearly $200,000 worth of personal property, along with a Mercedes-Benz parked in the driveway. Many of the items stolen were pictured on the family’s social media accounts, so the thieves knew exactly what to target.

“It’s important to make sure no one in your family is posting your travel plans. Facebook posts checking into restaurants or Instagram photos of your family’s vacation blatantly advertise that you’re away from home and put your property at risk,” adds Quinn.

As the official start of winter approaches, the Illinois Department of Transportation recently reminded travelers to visit and bookmark the newly redesigned GettingAroundIllinois.com for continually updated information on road conditions.

“The new-and-improved GettingAroundIllinois.com is a great resource any time of the year, but especially during winter when road conditions can quickly change,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “Illinois has the third-largest highway system in the nation, so we know it is important to provide the public with a convenient way to access information they know they can trust.”

The site’s winter road conditions map averages more than 2 million visitors during snow-and-ice season. Recent updates to this map include more detailed reports of snow coverage and a color scheme that aligns with map technology used by surrounding states, creating a more seamless travel experience for motorists.

“Visit GettingAroundIllinois.com before making the decision to drive this winter,” Secretary Blankenhorn said. “By planning ahead before every trip and practicing safe driving habits on the road, we can make this the safest winter yet.”

NAACP Helps Mobilize Black Voters in Alabama Special Election

African American voters recently mobilized in part by the NAACP, and turned out in huge numbers and played a decisive role in a special election, which elected the first Democratic Senator in Alabama in decades.

“The African-American community played a major role in this mostcrucial special election,” said Derrick Johnson, NAACP President and CEO. “Our vote is reflective of the values of a nation refusing to exchange its integrity and character for the sake of selfish partisan politics.”

Alabama State Conference and Branches working with the NAACP’s national office and partners throughout the nation was able to make over 40,000 calls to voters throughout the state and persuade them to exercise their right to vote. The Alabama State Conference and partners conducted an unprecedented texting campaign that reached nearly 160,000 African-Americans and women throughout the state.

“We knew it would be a hard fight to mobilize voters, but we also had an idea of the consequences if the Black vote in Alabama stayed silent,” said NAACP Alabama State President Benard Simelton. “Those of us who know the history of Alabama with its Jim Crow and segregationist attitude, understand the importance of the vote and why not only have we got to ensure that we use it, but that we continue to protect it from any attempts at suppression,” added Simelton.

Trump’s EPA Stalls on Policing Southeast Side Polluters, Residents Urge Mayor Emanuel to Step Up As Trump’s EPA delays enforcement on air pollution violations in Chicago’s Southeast Side, community and environmental groups recently penned a letter urging Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step in to protect residents from neurotoxic manganese near neighborhoods and schools.

In August, the USEPA issued a Notice of Violation to S.H. Bell, which operates a facility that handles neurotoxic manganese dust feet away from homes of residents, for numerous emissions violations. However, USEPA has announced no subsequent action to hold the company accountable.

Currently, another nearby facility that handles manganese, operated by Watco Transloading, is resisting installing air monitors required under the City’s regulations and recommended by the USEPA. Following is a joint statement from the Southeast Side Coalition to Ban Petcoke (SSCBP), the Southeast Environmental Task Force (SETF), Moms Clean Air Force (MCAF), Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Northwestern Pritzker Law’s Environmental Advocacy Clinic, Chicago Legal Clinic, The People’s Lobby, National Nurses United (NNU), and Reclaim Chicago: “As Trump’s EPA holds back action on polluters, the City’s role is more important than ever in upholding protections for our community’s health.

We urge the Mayor to show the same leadership and concern for the health of Chicagoans when he threatened to sue U.S. Steel and demand that manganese, another toxic product associated with the steel industry, be banned from our neighborhoods.”

Don’t Have a Cybersecurity Leader

Black Book™ recently announced key findings from a Q4 2017 survey that found that more than eight in ten provider organizations lack a reliable enterprise leader for cybersecurity, while only 11 percent plan to get a cybersecurity officer in 2018. When it comes to payers, 31 percent have an established manager for cybersecurity programs currently, with 44 percent planning to recruit a candidate in the new year.

Black Book revealed that the healthcare industry continues to underestimate security threats as attackers continue to seek data and monetary gain. “The low security posture of most healthcare organizations may prove a target demographic for which these attacks are successful,” said Doug Brown, Managing Partner of Black Book.

The survey also advised on the hesitation of healthcare provider organizations in adopting the best practices for cybersecurity. 54 percent of respondents admitted they do not conduct regular risk assessments, while 39 percent don’t carry out regular penetration testing on their firewalls.

“These results may not be all that surprising, however, considering some of the new solution providers are offering passive monitoring for their networks and the upfront costs have been dramatically slashed,” said Brown.

However, 92 percent of the C-suite officers surveyed state that cybersecurity and the threat of data breach are still not major talking points with their board of directors.

“Cybersecurity has to be a top-down strategic initiative as it’s far too difficult for IT security teams to achieve their goals without the board leading the charge,” said Brown. 15 percent of all healthcare organizations responding to the survey claim to be taking cybersecurity seriously by having a chief information security officer (CISO) in charge now.

For attackers looking to steal valuable data with minimal effort, the healthcare industry is a prime target.

“The critical role of medical facilities, combined with poor security practices and lack of resources, make them vulnerable to financially and politically motivated attacks,” said Brown.

89 percent of respondents reported in 2018, budgeted IT funds are dedicated toward primarily business functions with provable business cases and only a small fraction is being allocated to cybersecurity.

Englewood Families Receive Holiday Donations

briefly EDUCATION Bentley University Launches 18-Month Part-Time Online MBA Program, one of the Fastest in Greater Boston

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

As we enter a new year, Union Pacific Railroad recently gave away a $10,000 donation to the Christmas in the Wards organization, which allowed 25 to 30 Englewood families to receive $250 to shop at Pullman Walmart during the holiday season.

Adrian Guerrero, director of public affairs at Union Pacific Railroad, said its foundation’s mission is to serve communities.

“We recognize the impact that the railroad has on the communities and we wanted to give back,” Guerrero said. “When we are able to support an organization like this and see the support in action is one of the best things we can ask for.”

Larry Huggins, founder of Christmas in the Wards and a past resident of Englewood, said that the organization has provided gifts to 11,000 families for 21 years, and has now grown to distribute gifts in 18 Wards.

He explained that the board is made up of business leaders, corporate leaders, political leaders and community leaders, and without the community officials identifying the people in need in their Ward, this holiday event would have been impossible to do.

Huggins continued to add that Christmas in the Wards allows School Principals in the wards to decide which students are in need the most during the holiday.

“When these kids go to school every day, the principals know which ones who need shoes and coats,” Huggins said. “So, we take the politics out of it because it’s truly a genuine need and the aldermen just come out to help with the shopping.”

Principal Rufina D. Brown at Parker Community Academy, said after speaking with local teachers, they selected a family with a mom who recently got out of the hospital from an illness and was unemployed in a new apartment.

“She cried like a baby but she said Ms. Brown ‘this is something that I really wanted,’ Brown said. “So, the process was worth it.”

Alderman Roderick Sawyer of the 6th Ward, who donated $2,500 to Christmas in the Wards, said it feels great to give back to residents in the community.

“I really fill strong about this and I’m glad that Larry and others were able to reach out to us to provide for the families to get a shopping experience,” Sawyer said.

Keith Harris, a representative for PEACE in Englewood, said he has worked in the neighborhood for 25 years and says it’s really important to see smiles on the faces of youth, especially when they notice someone cares about them.

“Englewood gets such a bad reputation but this is one of the positive things that will shine on the community and its families,” said Harris.

Bentley University has launched a part-time accelerated online MBA program that allows students to earn their degree in as little as 18 months, one of the fastest part-time MBA degrees in Greater Boston. The program responds to a changing job market in which working professionals do not want to put their careers on hold to pursue a full-time degree.

Also in August, a coalition of public and private sector partners held a field dedication ceremony to unveil the first youth baseball field in the Village of Ford Heights.

The baseball field was produced through a collaborative effort by the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, Cubs Charities, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, James McHugh Construction Co, the Ford Heights Park District and other partners seeking to improve after-school activities in one of the country’s lowest-income suburbs.

In September, The Shedd Aquarium unveiled 10 new giant sea life sculptures that were made entirely from plastic marine debris. The sculptures show how plastic pollution has become one of the largest threats to ocean and freshwater animals.

In October, as summer finally turned to fall, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Chicago Public Library (CPL) Commissioner Brian Bannon and Alderman Roderick Sawyer of the sixth ward announced a $12 million renovation of the Whitney M. Young Junior Library.

Also in October, a coalition of more than 20 community organizations held the No Cop Academy press conference at City Hall to protest against Mayor Emmanuel’s plan to spend $95 million on a new police and fire training academy in West Garfield Park.

Debbie Southorn, a representative of the People’s Response Team, said the press conference was an action to say “no” to additional

resources being put into the Chicago Police Department.

In November the law in Illinois on teaching cursive was settled under House Bill 2977. Next school year, public elementary schools must provide a unit of cursive handwriting instruction to all students by the time they reach 5th grade. Assistant Majority Leader Kimberly A.

During the week leading up to Thanksgiving, the Citizen became aware that The Village of Glenwood board member, Trustee Adam Winston, filed a Request for Review with the Public Access Bureau arguing that the Open Meeting Act (OMA) was violated during a special meeting on Sept. 14.

Winston claimed that the required 48-hours public notice was not given before having the special meeting.

The Public Access Bureau concluded that the Village of Glenwood Board of Trustees violated the OMA by failing to provide a full 48-hours notice for the special meeting.

A pep rally was held the first week of December for Wendell Phillips Academy High School in Bronzeville after the football team defeated Dunlap Highschool 33-7, earning them the title of state champions in the 5A Class Division.

LAW & POLITICS Cook County Assessor’s Office Completes Assessment Cycle Early Alderman Roderick Sawyer (pictured) of the 6th Ward, who donated $2,500 to Christmas in the Wards, said it feels great to give back to residents in the community.

CHICAGO - The Cook County Assessor’s Office (CCAO) recently announced that it has again completed its property assessment cycle ahead of schedule, making possible on-time tax bills from the Treasurer’s Office.

This will save communities tens of millions of dollars, a benefit to taxpayers which remains a firm commitment of Assessor Joseph Berrios, according to a Cook County Assessor’s Office press release.

The completed assessments now go to the Cook County Board of Review, which will later turn over its final figures to the Cook County Clerk. If those agencies do their work per schedule, as they have in recent years, bills will be on time once more. 2017 bills are mailed in two installments during 2018.

Tax bills have gone out on time every year since Joseph Berrios’ first full year as Assessor, an Assessor’s press release reported. This latest early completion of the assessment cycle sets up another on-time billing, which would make it seven straight years. This, despite a 31 percent reduction in staff since Berrios became Assessor.

Simple ways to give back all year long (BPT) - The old saying, “It is better to give than receive,” is never better illustrated than during the holiday season when gift giving is at its peak. But, how often does the purpose of giving get lost in the rush of shopping and deadlines?

It’s easy to forget that there are many ways to give that don’t have to rely on a purchase. Just showing someone that they are appreciated can be the most memorable gift of the season. In many ways, it is the gift that keeps on giving. Being appreciated can make a person feel fabulous and in fact can motivate someone to pay it forward. In a time when discourse seems to permeate so many areas of our lives, a small note of appreciation can stand out even more.

At Bigelow Tea, where the company mission is to enrich life’s everyday moments, the culture is to remember all who make our lives so much better and show them appreciation. “We try to pay attention all year long, not just during the holidays. The purpose

of our company is to create an environment of pride that brings out everyone’s desire and ability to make a positive difference every day,” says Cindi Bigelow, CEO and third-generation family member.

Bigelow Tea was started by Ruth Campbell Bigelow after the Depression hit. Perhaps it was her brush with the hard times of the Depression that heightened her compassion for others, but her generous spirit built appreciation into the formula for the company’s future. In 1963, she adopted a school in Kentucky, where she sent truckloads of books, coats and shoes. She would even buy glasses for kids who needed them so they could read.

Today, Bigelow continues to carry on that tradition with the company’s support of the USO and veteran’s programs like Ride 2 Recovery, Tea for the Troops and the annual Bigelow Tea Community Challenge, which has contributed $1.5 million back into the community.

1. DIY-It. DIY gifts can be heartfelt, and many items can be made in a pinch. Bake a tray of Christmas cookies and tie them up with a bow; make seasonally scented homemade candles; or knit a scarf.

The possibilities for crafty folks are endless.

2. Get Accessorized. Don’t get stumped. Consider a classic fashion accessory, such as a Casio Vintage Watch, which can be found in many national retailers, in a range of affordable prices. Functional and fashionable, these waterresistant timepieces that feature both an alarm and stopwatch will complement an array of style preferences.

3. Head to the Box Office.

Quickly check the schedule of your gift recipient’s favorite band, team or theater company for tickets to an experience, such as a musical, concert or game. This thoughtful gift can be purchased and received in an instant, thanks to e-ticketing.

4. Pamper Them. The holidays are stressful. Help your loved ones unwind during a busy time of year. Consider a gift certificate for a spa or beauty treatment somewhere local to your recipient. The gift can be enjoyed exactly when it’s needed most.

5. Let Them Pick. When you’re really in a pinch and you’ve waited until the last minute, don’t stress. A gift card can be a great way to show you thought of someone, without having to spend too much time or energy in search of the perfect item.

(StatePoint) Beyond keeping your refrigerator art in place, you may not think about magnets all that often, but, magnets are the driving force behind many products you use every day.

Magnets can be found in nearly every room of your house, from your computer’s hard drive disk that’s coated with tiny magnets to store data, to your vacuum cleaner, which may have an electric motor that runs by magnetism. Magnets are everywhere -- in your doorbell, microwave and even your blankets!

Magnets even have the power to improve your shower. For instance, in the case of Moen’s Magnetix magnetic-docking showerhead, magnets provide added functionality and convenience. To learn more ways magnets can make life easier, visit Moen.com/Magnetix.

As manufacturers create and innovate, you may find magnets are the driving force behind more items that you use daily.
