Robert L. Towners, head principal of Fernwood Elementary, located at 10041 S. Union Ave, comes from a long line of educators and is a product of the Chicago Public School (CPS) system, a graduate of Percy L. Julian High School. He is also a graduate of one of the Historic Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)-Tuskegee University. Towners furthered his education to receive a Master’s Degree from Chicago State University and a second Master’s Degree from Concordia University.

The Citizen sat down with Towners to hear how his passion for education has overflowed onto local students within the community.

Towners said he grew up in an urban community where he didn’t see a lot of hope but he says his turning point came when he attended Tuskegee University.

“My true heart lies with Tuskegee University because it was my first time being away from home and I was able to see life outside of Chicago,” Towners said. “It was a big change from seeing what happens in the inner city where things at any moment can get crazy to being at a Historic Black University where everyone is about business.”

He said after graduating from Tuskegee University, he was able to come back to Chicago and relate the experiences and lessons he learned back to the students he currently serve.

“They often don’t get a chance to see that side so I came back to let them know there is another life outside of their sixblock radius,” Towners said. “I need them to know that there are a lot of things in college that will be big for them in addition to education, making new friends, seeing new things and expanding their horizon.”

He continued to explain how he uses naviance, a CPS college prep program, to help Fernwood’s eighth graders know that they’re at a milestone and their next choice for the next four years in high school will determine what happens for the rest of their lives.

“If you go to a high school that’s not going to pour and challenge you but only pass you through, then you’re not going to want to go to college, succeed and do great things,” Towners said.

“So, you have to select schools that will add value to where you want to be in life.”

Since arriving to Fernwood Elementary, Towners has implemented groundbreaking instructional systems within the school, which has resulted in Fernwood becoming a Level 1 School, exceeding better than 92 percent of schools nationally on the NWEA Map Test in reading and gaining a 95.9 percent attendance rate.

“I look at myself as a serving leader because the administration aspect is just for business,” he said. “But the part of being the principal that matters most is serving our community and students and making sure that the students understand my job only exists because of them.”

Towners continued to say, “When I got here I had to introduce a new way of teaching and talk about integrating technology because now we’re teaching different types of students,” he added. “You can’t teach the same way you taught 20 years ago. So, now we have five to six computers in every classroom and every student has a Chromebook [computer] or IPAD.” In addition, Fernwood now offers employment to undergraduate and graduate students to assist teachers on a daily basis to help students.

“I tell my youth and young teachers to come here and get what you can out of what we can give you but don’t get stagnant,” Towners said. “I want you to go outside of here to learn how to advance through your career. I want you to have a career, not just a job.”

Towners said he hired the undergraduate and graduate students to show the younger kids more success stories of people who look just like them so they have no excuse of not succeeding in life.

“They went to school and got their bachelors and they are working,” he said. Students often times get caught up in their excuses. But I want them to know they have to persevere through whatever challenges they’re going through and only they can decide the right choice, he said.

CHA Board Expands Housing Opportunities, Approves Investment in Apartments The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) Board of Commissioners recently approved the addition of 353 apartments to its Property Rental Assistance Program (PRA).

The housing, co-developed with a number of development partners, will bring new affordable housing for veterans, seniors and families across the city.

“Our commitment is to bring affordable housing to every neighborhood in Chicago,” said CHA CEO Eugene Jones, Jr. “And we’re doing so, with investments now in 75 of Chicago’s 77 community areas. As important, we are working in partnership with a broad range of for- and non-profit developers. There is a need for affordable housing in every neighborhood, and with our partners we are ensuring that there is long-term affordable housing everywhere.”

Under the Property Rental Assistance (PRA) program, CHA provides rental subsidy assistance to create affordably-priced apartments in both new construction and rehabbed properties to ensure that low-income Chicagoans have quality housing options in as many communities as possible. CHA’s support for these units will provide long-term rental subsidy contracts, thereby keeping these units affordable.

OSF HealthCare Reaches Agreement with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois

Construction on the majority of projects will be completed in 2018 and 2019.

OSF HealthCare has reached an agreement with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) to ensure patients have uninterrupted access to extensive high quality, in-network, medical care and services, including pediatric, neurologic, and cardiovascular care. All OSF HealthCare hospitals and services will continue to be in network now and in the New Year.

OSF HealthCare hospitals and providers are innetwork caregivers for BCBSIL today, and will remain in network moving forward into 2018. This includes BCBSIL Commercial, PPO, EPO, and Blue Choice products that BCBSIL terminated previously. For a complete listing, visit www.osfhealthcare.org/blue.

Ald. Arena, Waguespack vote against Emanuel administration budget Following is a joint statement from Progressive Reform Caucus Chair Ald. Scott Waguespack (32) and Ald. John Arena (45) regarding their votes against the Emanuel administration’s proposed FY 2018 budget: “[Recently], we voted no on Mayor Emanuel’s proposed 2018 budget, because it falls far short of what the working families of Chicago need and deserve.”

“In recent years, Chicago taxpayers have been hit with an increase in property taxes, water and sewer fees, a new garbage tax and a phone tax. Public employee retirees have had to pick up thousands of dollars in health care costs that were previously covered by the City. And yet, again through this year’s budget, the Emanuel administration adds to the load of regressive fines, fees and taxes that working families must bear. We cannot in good conscience vote to advance this irresponsible approach.”

“From the gross underfunding of the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, to the extreme over-reliance, yet again, on police overtime and civilianization of the police department, this budget fails to responsibly deal with our troubled police department.”

“We are also deeply concerned about new cuts to the mental health safety net and the dysfunctional recycling program, among other aspects of this budget.”

“Year after year, the administration has failed to fight for ways to make sure the very wealthy and big corporations are paying their fair share, and that we aren’t balancing the budget through more regressive, burdensome fees and fines on working families. The only way to address the needs of Chicagoans, and keep our promise to our Chicago workers, is to go to Springfield and fight like hell for a progressive income tax and other progressive revenue options. We all know that’s what’s needed. The question is whether the Mayor will get down there and fight for working people.”

Steves discusses ending the prohibition on marijuana Rick Steves, a travel writer and host of the public television series, “Rick Steves’ Europe,” recently joined State Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago) and State Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago) for a news conference in Chicago to discuss why it makes sense for Illinois to end its prohibition on marijuana.

Steans and Cassidy are the lead sponsors of a measure to tax and regulate adult-use cannabis.

Estimates suggest legalization could generate $349$699 million for the State of Illinois annually.

Inspired by Europe’s approach to drug policy, Steves is an advocate for ending America’s prohibition of marijuana. Following the news conference, Steves testified at a state Senate hearing on the topic of economic opportunities around legalization.

Cook County Board Approves Balanced FY18 Budget The Cook County Board of Commissioners recently approved a balanced $5.2 billion FY18 budget through a package of amendments presented by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.

The 17-0 bipartisan vote approving the budget follows a month of extensive departmental hearings, commissioner questions and public meetings aimed at closing a more than $200.6 million gap that followed a vote last month repealing the Sweetened Beverage Tax. “Through shared sacrifice and cooperation we were able to develop and pass a balanced budget,” President Preckwinkle said. “We have had to make exceedingly difficult but necessary choices, but we have met our fiscal obligation to the people of Cook County. While at the same time protecting key public health and public safety services.

“I remain committed to building on the progress we have made over the past seven years of passing balanced budgets and working to secure the County’s financial future.”

The $200.6 million budget gap is being closed primarily via expenditure reductions, including 321 layoffs and more than 1,000 vacancy closures. Also factored into closing the budget gap are a combination of expected increases in Disproportionate Share Hospital payments for the County’s Health Fund, additional Tax Increment Financing surplus revenue, heightened enforcement of existing home rule taxes such as parking and gasoline, and organic growth in miscellaneous revenues and fees.

Additionally, adjustments from special purpose funds, grant and capital expenditures in a series of additional amendments presented today combined to solve for the $200.6 million shortfall.

Among the steps taken to close the gap were: A collection of efficiency measures eliminating equipment purchases from general fund revenues, holding the line on salary increases, and approved

furlough days in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court.

More than 1,000 vacancy eliminations for offices and departments across the County. The amendment contains 763 vacancy eliminations on top of 254 eliminations advanced in the President’s original budget recommendation.

321 layoffs, the result of a number of initiatives such as consolidating services, right-sizing management-to-staff ratios, merging HR functions, closing a branch court and Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (JTDC) housing unit, and additional divisions at the County Jail as a result of sustained population reduction at both the Jail and JTDC. “We sought efficiencies wherever we could while at the same time protecting our vital services,” Preckwinkle said. “But unfortunately, we could not reach the needed savings without having to lay off some people. I deeply regret having to do so but the fiscal realities we face left us with no choice.”

She added, “I applaud the commissioners for their collaboration and for asking the tough questions of separately elected officials, bureau chiefs and department heads. As a result of this process, I believe we all have a better understanding of where our money comes from and where it goes – how we raise it and how we spend it – that will ensure we continue to provide our residents with the services they expect and are entitled to.”All budget information has been posted to the Cook County budget website, allowing the public to review documents.

Money is Transforming from Cash to Digital: Don’t Get Lost in the Change The past decade has seen consumers move their spending habits from paying cash to moving money digitally, often from their mobile devices.

The number of fintech companies and traditional companies vying for your dollar is exploding. So are the ways that you can make a payment, get a loan or save money. And just around the corner lie the new generation of cryptocurrencies, ICOs, and the rapid adoption of blockchain paradigms that will surely change business and finance indelibly.

Welcome to the world of Digital Money where frictionless, seamless transfers are the aspiration and

keeping safe identities is the challenge. Ultimately, money is based on trust. The systems that you trust will set themselves off from the pack.

Living in Digital Times, creators of Digital Money Forum, returns to CES® 2018 for year three on January 9 at the Venetian, Level 4, Marcello 4405. The one-day summit will include leading industry experts such as: Tim Pawlenty, CEO of Financial Services Roundtable and Former Governor of Minnesota, will look at the

CAREERCORNER Trailblazing panelists offer valuable career advice Northwestern Mutual - Chicago received hosted an insightful conversation about entrepreneurialism in the AfricanAmerican community. The female entrepreneurs discussed the forces that inspired them to turn their passions and ideas into successful businesses, the challenges that come with starting a business from scratch and benefits of selfemployment.

The panelists included: Autumn Merritt, fashionista, and co-founder of Sir and Madame Boutique in Hyde Park, Lauren Ash, founder and executive director of wellness and lifestyle brand Black Girl in Om, and Andrea Williams, CLU®, CFP®, Northwestern Mutual - Chicago Financial Advisor who runs her own financial planning practice.

The group of trailblazers offered valuable career advice for those in any industry. Ash emphasized that without a support system, Black Girl in Om would not be reaching the same level of success that it is today.

“Acknowledging your fears and hesitations by talking about them with other people is important,” Ash said. “Surround yourself with a support system of people who affirm you, rather than those who question or doubt you.”

Merritt advised that resilience and reflection are two important things to keep in mind as an entrepreneur. “Being in business for yourself requires resilience. However, every time you get knocked down, you need to look back and assess the situation. You are going to learn something from every win and every loss.”

An insight from Williams was that mentality and hard work is crucial in growing a career when cultivating one from the ground up. “Whether you’re working for yourself or

for others, don’t ever have a lazy day. Always put forth 100 percent effort and work with the spirit of excellence. If you don’t, you’ll only be cheating yourself. Hard workers are building muscle memory that will only help them as their responsibilities increase down the road.”

The panelists also discussed the low but rising numbers of African-American owned businesses. “I found that not only was I often the only woman of color in a yoga class but that there was rarely a woman of color actually teaching a class - I thought, ‘why don’t I create something that speaks to this?” Not only did Ash create an inclusive health and wellness space but also created an online publication and podcast that focuses on conversations of self-care and self-love for women of color.

Williams spoke to this topic as an entrepreneur and as a financial advisor. “When I first started my practice, a lot of people had never seen a black woman in financial services,” Williams said. “Now after ten years, my practice has reached the Northwestern Mutual Forum, where only the top two percent of Northwestern Mutual advisors are able to be.”

As a financial advisor, Williams has built a successful practice that works with the African-American community not just in Chicago, but nationally. “It is very consistent in our community that there is a lack of discussion revolving finances,” Williams explained. “The way that we can bridge that communication gap is by having conversations like this. Build a relationship with a financial advisor you can trust, introduce them to people in your community. This will increase communication, awareness and ultimately be comfortable in your understanding of financial planning.”

JOBS Unemployment Rate Drops in All Metro Areas for Fifth Consecutive Month CHICAGO– Unemployment rates decreased over-the-year in October in all of Illinois’s metropolitan areas and in all 102 counties, according to preliminary data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES). Data also show nonfarm jobs increased in eight of the metropolitan areas and decreased in six.

“It is encouraging that the unemployment rate is down statewide and Illinois gained 18,200 jobs over the past year,” said IDES Director Jeff Mays. “However, six of the 14 metro areas did not add jobs, which is a clear sign of the need for more sustained job growth across all areas of the state.”

Illinois businesses added jobs in eight metro areas, with the largest increases in: Carbondale-Marion (+2.1 percent, +1,200), Kankakee (+2.0 percent, +900), and Lake/ Kenosha (+1.3 percent, +5,300). Total nonfarm jobs in the Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights Metro Division increased (+0.6 percent or +20,800). Illinois businesses lost jobs in six metro areas, with the largest losses in: Danville (-1.0 percent, -300), Springfield (-0.9 percent, -1,100), and Champaign (-0.5 percent, -600).

Celebrities rally against the fur trade Ahead of the international day of action ‘Fur Free Friday’ on November 24th (Black Friday), comedian Sara Pascoe and actor Peter Egan joined ranks with a growing number of celebrities backing a campaign by Animal Defenders International (ADI) to end the cruel fur trade.

Peter Egan said: “Don’t be fooled, fur is far from humane. Trapped in tiny cages, the animals endure a terrible life, and death. Please, never support this cruel industry. Join ADI and make a difference.”

Sara Pascoe said: “With so many alternatives to fur available, no animal need suffer. Using the real thing is cruel and unnecessary. Please join me and ADI in supporting the designers whose fabrics, but not principles, are fake.”

Since the launch of ADI’s shocking films ‘A Lifetime’ about the brutal short lives of two foxes, brothers Borys and Eryk, and ‘Never Humane’ exposing inhumane killing on a Polish fur farm, celebrities have lined up to speak out against wearing fur, including Ricky Gervais, Joanna Lumley, Moby, Alexandra Paul, Brian Blessed, Elaine Hendrix and legendary TV host and animal advocate Bob Barker.

ADI’s findings reveal a cruel industry hidden behind images of beauty and luxury; the desperation and suffering of sensitive, intelligent, foxes deprived of their natural lives and intensively farmed in barren, cramped, filthy conditions. The lifelong stress, deprivation and extreme confinement causes both psychological and physical damage.

Wild foxes are trapped in small bare wire cages, with babies torn from their mothers at just a few weeks old. After only seven short months, the young foxes are dragged from the cages by their tails, hung upside down and electrocuted in front of their families and other animals on the farm.

Aware of what will happen to them, the animals desperately attempt to evade capture, clinging onto the mesh.

Animal Defenders International President Jan Creamer said:

“Animals farmed for their fur endure a lifetime of suffering and a terrifying, painful death. Buying fur buys cruelty and we urge shoppers to say no to fur and help ADI end this brutal trade”.

Worldwide every year over 110 million animals are killed on fur farms, with more than 16 million trapped in the wild for their fur. Over 15 million foxes are killed in a year, usually for trinkets, trims and accessories.

Poland is the fourth largest producer of fox fur in the world – almost all is exported. Although the UK banned fur farming more than 15 years ago, it remains a major dealer importing and exporting fur. The UK is in fact one of the largest exporters of fur in Europe; garment exports amount to over $30 million a year, while imports of fur skins are valued in millions, including $6 million from Poland and $6 million from China last year alone.

Compassionate shoppers are being tricked into buying real fur – some products being sold as “fake” have been found to be real fur. ADI advises ethical shoppers to report items that are not labelled, or mislabeled, and is providing advice on how to identify the real fur being sold as ethical fake.

Actress Joanna Lumley, said: “Be comfortable in your own skin, and not that of a poor defenseless animal caged and killed to provide it. Say no to fur and yes to helping these fashion victims. Please help ADI stop this brutal trade.”

Actor Brian Blessed, said: “Millions of wild animals live on factory farms, bred for the fashion industry. It’s time to kill the suffering, not the animal. Always choose faux and not real fur and support ADI in this campaign.”

Comedian Ricky Gervais: “Fashion is a form of escapism for many but for the animals, imprisoned and denied their most basic needs, death is the only escape. It doesn’t have to be this way – save lives by going fur-free and supporting ADI.”

(BPT) - With U.S. graduation rates being at an all-time high, one might expect employers to have a wealth of qualified candidates to hire. Instead, many employers are finding that these recent graduates are unprepared to succeed in the workforce.

While many are graduating with technical skills, their “soft skills” are lacking. These skills - from professional communication and critical thinking to collaboration and time management - are seen as critical by employers, yet have not historically been taught with consistency or prioritized.

A recent whitepaper commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), an education nonprofit that equips students with the necessary soft skills needed to be successful in college and their careers, highlights recent partnerships between the business and education sectors to tackle this skills gap.

“Bridging the Soft Skills Gap: How Employers Can Partner with Educators to Prepare Students for the 21st Century Workforce” offers practical recommendations for businesses to make an impact and profiles strategic partnerships being successfully implemented across the country by Nike, Ernst & Young, Wegmans, Wynn Las Vegas, and the Northern Kentucky Education Council.

According to a 2016 analysis by the Wall Street Journal, 92 percent of nearly 900 surveyed executives said soft skills were as or more important than technical skills, yet 89 percent reported some level of difficulty finding employees who have mastered these skills.

“With almost 6 million unfilled jobs in America, this lack of soft skills hurts workers, businesses and the economy,” says Cheryl Oldham of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Foundation’s Center for Education and Workforce.

“Businesses recognize the critical need for soft skills and are working hard in their communities to help students obtain the skills they need to succeed in the jobs of tomorrow.”

A growing number of companies are focusing on

student education as a part of their business strategy. By equipping students with the skills for workplace success, they strengthen their talent pipeline and create shared value.

The following insights from the whitepaper offers successful approaches to collaboration between the education and business sectors to help youth become better prepared for their careers.

Classroom solutions

Investing in classroom solutions empowers teachers to better help young people develop the skills they need in school, work, and life. Since promoting soft skills is less about what is taught than how they are taught, access to hands-on methodology training for educators is vital. Employers can help by ensuring that teachers and administrators across local schools have access to proven professional development programs from established education nonprofits.

Mentoring for college and career readiness Businesses can mobilize employees to mentor students based upon a college and career readiness curriculum. Proponents of these mentoring programs say that they enhance employee satisfaction and retention; strengthen the talent pipeline; and contribute to thriving communities.

Adopt-a-school In adopting a specific school or school district, businesses typically identify and commit to meeting a holistic set of needs through multifaceted programming, ranging from tutoring and mentoring to specific grants for programming and facilities.

Work-based learning Instead of solely offering traditional internships for college students, businesses can partner with high schools to establish pre-employment apprenticeship programs designed to introduce students to workplace demands.

The Department of Labor supports employers that establish Registered Apprenticeships to build a robust talent pipeline.

Coalition building

Building a coalition of representatives from industry, the education system, and the community creates the space for meaningful dialogue about common priorities and unique local challenges. It also facilitates collective action around solutions.

Inspirations

from Rev. Dr. Derrick B. Wells,

Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple

LIFELONG CONNECTION From the day we are born, there is within each of us a durable, persuasive, and exciting will to live.

We are hardwired in this way.

As we come of age, mature, and go through the peaks and valleys of life, we sometimes become weathered, perhaps even jaded by experience. The storms of change, challenge, difficulty, and hardship seem to erode our wires and interrupt our connections.

As we allow these happenings to serve as the experiences that educate and condition our soul, we sometimes forget our connection to and loose sight of the durable, compelling, and exciting source of life. Yet, every breath we take is a literal and figurative affirmation of life.

Every heartbeat is a harbinger for the forward pull of life that reminds us of all that is in store.

Nothing can override Life in you, for in Him you live, move, and have your being. Your life is the very life of God, Alpha and Omega, beginning and end. The challenges we go through, in whatever form, do not impede or impair the life of God expressing in, through, and as us.

You are divinely designed, by the Life Giving One, with the purpose to promote life. All within you and about you is the strength you need for you are, “strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”

Affirm life, affirm that you are strong in the Lord, and affirm that your body is the temple of the living God. You are a new creation in Christ, who makes all things new. You have a durable, persuasive, and exciting will to live. You did not give it to yourself. Rather, it was the gift you received in the beginning.

The past is behind you and all of God is before you. Refresh your wires, reclaim your connection, and live victoriously!

(BPT) - Public, private, charter, virtual and more - deciding what school is best for your children can feel overwhelming. You want them to have an education that prepares them for a challenging world while fitting their unique learning styles. How do you know the best option to ensure they thrive?

“The right school will not only help your child learn essential skills but instill a lifelong love of learning,” says Carol Lloyd, award-winning educational writer and editorial director for GreatSchools, a nonprofit school guide. “Bottom line: The school you choose for your child does make a difference.”

Lloyd knows making educational decisions isn’t easy. That’s why she offers her advice on the most important things to consider when researching schools.

Testing scores: How does the school perform on state assessments across grades and subjects? Look at the percentage of students who score at or above proficiency. If possible, look at test scores by student subgroup (race/ethnicity and family income). How are students like your child doing?

Student progress: Test scores don’t tell the whole story. It’s important that no matter where students start on the educational

spectrum, they make progress and continuously learn as time passes.

Understanding student progress can give you important information about how much children are learning at this school from year to year.

Equity: Look at how students from all backgrounds are doing. Is there a big achievement gap between different groups? This helps you understand how schools are serving disadvantaged student groups.

Advanced coursework: To understand the academic rigor of a school, research the advanced courses offered. How many students are enrolling in those courses? What’s the average number of advanced courses a student takes at the school?

All these details can paint a picture about whether the students are getting the classes they need for college and beyond.

Discipline and attendance flags: Does the school have high chronic absenteeism? Do they suspend some groups of students far more often than others? This might be a red flag that you should consider.

College readiness: If you have a high school student, you’re probably starting to think about the future. If you want to ensure your child’s school is preparing them for college, research the high school’s SAT/ACT participation and performance.
