CTU endorses Kwame Raoul for Illinois attorney general

CHICAGO- The Chicago Teachers Union endorsed Illinois State Senator Kwame Raoul recently in his campaign to serve as Illinois’ next attorney general, in a gathering that included current and retired teachers and allies.

“Senator Raoul has been a rock-solid advocate of an elected representative school board for the City of Chicago and for collective bargaining rights for workers, and he has consistently raised concerns about school closings as an attack on the viability of disenfranchised neighborhoods and the basic rights of students and parents,” said CTU Vice President Jesse Sharkey. “We can count on Kwame to put the people’s business and the people’s needs front and center as attorney general, something we simply could not expect from some of the other candidates vying for this office. We’re proud to support him.”

Raoul has served as state senator of Chicago’s 13th District on the city’s South Side for the last 13 years. “Kwame has consistently demonstrated his belief in workers’ rights and voting rights,” said Hubbard High School teacher Ben Coyle, who chairs the Union’s legislative committee. “He is committed to protecting both the families who depend on public education and the union educators, clinicians and paraprofessionals who are the backbone of our school communities,” Coyle said.

New book tackles healing, spirituality with cultural lens

LOS ANGELES — Dr. Jorge Partida grew up with his Mexican healer grandmother and has dedicated his clinical and professional life studying and researching healing traditions across the world. In his latest book release, “The Promise of the Fifth Sun” (published by Balboa Press), he honors ancestral teachings regarding healing and wellness while integrating Western psychology and medicine.

“We are all looking for a model of health care that is empowering and strength based. Today’s health care system desperately needs to revisit our current disease and pathology based approach to health care,” Partida stresses.

“The Promise of the Fifth Sun” explores the myths and the healing secrets found within ancient stories of creation and native cosmology. The ancient Toltec healing traditions contain powerful messages of healing and personal empowerment.

These messages guide people to tap into ancestral wisdom and healing energies retain in the physical, mental and spiritual body.

Mentors For Local Kids

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago is attempting to increase mentoring in Hyde Park and the surrounding neighborhoods with the help of local barbershops.

Rico Miller, the owner of Blues Barbershop in Hyde Park, has been offering information to his clients and encouraging them to consider becoming mentors as a way to help children in the community.

“One of the directors from the Barbershop Mentoring Program came by and was asking if we wanted to be a part of it, so I give out information to clients and if they are interested they give them a call and they set everything up,” said Miller.

Miller said he has passed out a lot of flyers and believes that interest in becoming a mentor is growing.

Big Brother Big Sister is an organization designed to provide children (littles) facing adversity with strong and enduring one-on-one relationships with adults (bigs)who will have a positive influence on their lives.

“It gives children a hope and inspiration as far as seeing that there is a different side of life. A lot of children in the surrounding areas don’t have fathers or their moms are working all the time and don’t make time to build with them and educate them and show them that different side of life and that’s most of the time what makes children get into trouble,” said Miller.

In the mentorship program, bigs and littles agree to meet two to four times a month for a year. Beyond that, the requirements are loose. It is up to the big and little to decide what they want to do together. This could be as simple as playing a pickup game of basketball or taking a college tour.

“If you can take a child at least an hour or two out of the week and show them something different, it can change their life for the better. You never know, even if you can only reach two out of ten children that’s still progress being made,” said Miller.

Smart Museum of Art Host Family Day By: Katherine Newman

The Smart Museum of Art will host its monthly Family Day from 1p.m.4p.m on Feb. 3. The theme for February is “True Blue” in honor of Yves Klein and his famous blue artwork that is currently on display at the museum. The event is free and recommended for children from 4-12 years old, accompanied by an adult.

Erik Peterson, manager of family programs and student engagement at the Smart Museum of Art, designs the programs for Family Day. He makes sure that the activities are fun and engaging for children and their caregivers.

“We really try not to just have a craft time, we want to make sure the activities that we are doing and the hands on learning that we are doing connects back to the exhibitions we have on view and the art works that we have,” said Peterson.

Every family has the opportunity to briefly tour the exhibit connected to the event before they begin to participate in the days activities. The tour is brief and helps visitors get familiar with the theme of the day.

“We start with the short tour to get kids and their caregivers to talk about what they see and what the artwork actually is, we try to make it a conversation,” said Peterson.

On the agenda for the True Blue Family Day are blue drawings allowing the kids to experiment with a different shade of blue in many different mediums, a blue sand box made to resemble Klein’s artwork, story time with a

book based on the color blue, and two live bluegrass banjo performances by Matt Brown, banjo instructor at the Old Town School of Folk Music.

“We will have a blue sand box so they can play with the sand, they can make castles, they can rake it and do all the things that are great in sand boxes, but to sort of give them that experience of touching the art work when they can’t actually touch the real thing,”said Peterson.

Family Day is the main family friendly event at the Smart Museum of Art and gives families an opportunity to visit twelve times a year. Groups can also call to request a free tour of the museum that can be tailored to a specific age group and interests, according to Peterson.

For more information about upcoming Family Day events or to request a tour, visit www.smartmuseum. uchicago.edu.

William Josephson Discusses the Electoral College and Preparing for the 2020 Presidential Election By: Katherine Newman

The International House at the University of Chicago recently hosted William Josephson as a guest speaker who gave a talk about what can be done to prepare for the 2020 presidential election.

Josephson used the time to talk about his thoughts on the current voting system and the electoral college in the United States.

Josephson is a distinguished attorney and public servant who earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago. He was awarded the University of Chicago Alumni Association’s Public Service Citation in 2007 and has recently been a Shriver Fellow at the University’s Institute of Politics.

Throughout the country, many people are pointing to the electoral college as the reason for President Trump claiming the win after a close race in the 2016 presidential election. On election night, Trump received the majority of votes from the electoral college, but days later, it was confirmed that his opponent, Hillary Clinton, had actually won the popular vote, according to the Federal Elections Commission.

Since then, media and citizens have been circling around the idea of how to change the voting system.

Josephson however, acknowledges the reality.

“The important thing to remember about the electoral college is that we are stuck with it,” he said.

There is no “practical” or “political reason” to think that either house of Congress would ever make an effort to change it, he added. “The bottom line is, why should we add another layer of complexity to something that is already so incredibly complex?”

One option specifically that has been brought up by several news outlets as an option is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), an agreement among a number of states to award all their Electoral College votes to the winner of the national popular vote. States enter the compact by passing enabling legislation through

Eighth Ward Alderman Michelle Harris, along with her city council colleague 7th Ward Alderman Greg Mitchell, kicked-off the New Year in 2018 by sponsoring a recent successful public neighborhood business and economic development meeting at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church on 79th & Jeffrey.

This event was attended by local small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs seeking information and assistance from the City of Chicago’s Retail Thrive Zone (RTZ) and Small Business Improvement Fund (SBIF) Initiative programs.

“I’m an elected official who is firmly committed to encouraging new business development in our south side neighborhoods. The Retail Thrive Zone (RTZ) and the specialized Small Business Improvement Fund (SBIF) Initiatives, which offer grants of up to $250,000 to eligible applicants within the zones, will help fund new businesses, renovate existing establishments, and help local business owners provide community jobs. This will hopefully lead to a resurgence of new neighborhood businesses, giving our areas a welcome economic boost,” Said Alderman Harris.

This new City-sponsored three-year RTZ program is aimed at providing business grants to strengthen the economic vitality of eight neighborhood commercial corridors on Chicago’s South, Southwest and West Sides.

This meeting specifically focused on the ‘South Shore Retail Thrive Zone’, located on the East 79th Street business corridor which runs through the 7th and 8th Wards from Cregier to Exchange Avenue.

National Nurses United Endorses Senator Daniel Biss For Governor of Illinois

National Nurses United (NNU), the nation’s largest and fastest growing union of registered nurses with more than with 150,000 RNs across the country, including 6,500 in Illinois, recently announced its endorsement of Senator Daniel Biss for Governor. Biss is running in the Democratic primary scheduled for March 20, 2018.

“Nurses are proud to endorse Daniel Biss because he shares nurses’ values of caring, compassion and community,” said Martese Chism, RN, a member of the board of directors of National Nurses Organizing Committee, NNU’s Illinois affiliate. “Under Governor Rauner, our communities are in jeopardy. Daniel Biss shares our vision for an Illinois where every resident receives quality healthcare through a single payer/Medicare for all healthcare system. He rejects the notion that cuts to social services are necessary or inevitable and is committed to raising the progressive revenue that we require to fully fund and expand the services that our communities need.”

National Nurses United cited Biss’ support and co-sponsorship for SB 1970 which would create a LaSalle Street Tax on the nearly $900 trillion of financial transactions that occur yearly at the Chicago Mercantile and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). While working families pay sales tax for their purchases, LaSalle Street traders pay no sales tax on trades.

their state legislatures. The Constitution gives states the authority to select and govern their electors.

The Compact is triggered when states equaling at least 270 Electoral College votes enact the legislation. Currently, 10 states and the District of Columbia—representing 165 electoral votes—have passed the NPVIC: California, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, according to Project Vote.

A memorial service for trailblazing civil rights journalist Simeon Booker was held recently at the Washington National Cathedral.

Booker, a journalistic icon, died Dec. 10 at the age of 99. Booker’s more than half-century of civil rights reporting, most notably the brutal murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi, helped propel the civil rights struggle onto the front pages of newspapers across the country which had long ignored the oppression of Black Americans. Previously, he had been the first full-time black reporter at the Washington Post.

Donations may be made to the Simeon Booker Scholarship at Youngstown State University. All gifts designated for this minority scholarship are matched by the Youngstown State U Foundation.

Consider alternatives to opioids to manage pain after surgery (BPT) - If you’re having surgery, you can expect to be sore and uncomfortable for a few days, whether you’re recovering at home or in the hospital. But it’s best to limit opioids or avoid them altogether, opting for alternatives to manage pain and discomfort, recommends the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).

Unfortunately, many patients leave the hospital following surgery with a prescription for 30 or more highly addictive opioid pills (e.g., Vicodin, hydrocodone and oxycodone), and about 6 percent are still using them three months or longer after the procedure.

“Nobody needs a prescription for 30 or 50 opioids, and even those who are in major pain should only take them for a day or two,” said ASA President James D. Grant, M.D., M.B.A., FASA. “There are effective alternatives. Many people don’t need opioids at all or at least should drastically reduce the amount they take.”

Addiction can start after taking only a few opioids. More than 2 million Americans abuse these medications, which can create a feeling of euphoria and make the body believe the drug is necessary for survival.

Since 2000, opioid overdose deaths in the U.S. have increased 200 percent.

Don’t take that chance. During Physician Anesthesiologists Week (Jan. 28 to Feb. 3), ASA offers advice for coping with pain and discomfort as you recover from surgery. * Ask about alternatives - Only take opioids when you are in extreme pain. Medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxen (Aleve) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help with pain and soreness. While it’s never a good idea to rely on any type of pain pills for too long, these medications are not addictive and are far less risky than opioids. * Manage your expectations - Everyone feels pain differently, but soreness and discomfort after surgery are normal and will improve

within a day or two. These sensations are less severe than pain, which is usually sharp or intense. You usually don’t treat muscle soreness after a hard workout with an opioid, so if you are sore, and not in severe pain, try ibuprofen or naproxen. * Be an active participant in your own care - While you are in recovery, the nurse will ask you if you are in pain and if so, how much.

Be descriptive in explaining how you feel. If you are in major pain, ask that the opioid prescription be written for a small amount, and only take them for a day or two, three at most.

Unused pills can fall into the wrong hands. In fact, more than half of people who misuse prescription painkillers get them from a friend or relative. Your pain will improve significantly within a few days whether or not you take opioids. * Be aware of other downsides to opioids - Opioids cause severe constipation and often don’t manage pain as well as people expect. Additionally, they can cause hyperalgesia, or an increased sensitivity to pain.

“The opioid crisis is huge and affects everyone, rich and poor, male and female. It’s got to stop, and reducing opioid use during recovery after surgery is a big part of the solution,” said Dr. Grant. “Those who are in continued severe pain after surgery should ask a physician anesthesiologist or other pain specialist about alternative strategies to manage pain, including

exercise, nerve blocks and non-opioid medications.”

ASA is committed to ending opioid abuse and has launched several initiatives to combat the epidemic.

For more information, review ASA’s National Pain Strategy.

Moving Ahead to a Better Red

Red Line Extension Project CTA is proposing to extend the Red Line 5.3 miles from 95th Street to 130th Street.

Based on public feedback and additional project planning and engineering work conducted over the last year, CTA has selected a Preferred Alignment, which would run along the west side of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks from I-57 south to approximately 108th Place, then would cross the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and run along the east side of the tracks until crossing the Metra Electric tracks near 119th Street and continuing south to 130th Street.

The Preferred Alignment is a combination of the previously presented UPRR East and West Options. It would capture the benefits and minimize the impacts of either option and it also incorporates the feedback received on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
