T

he death of a community is a systematic and tragic occurrence. It often begins when property owners and residents who were once vested in that community decide to move out. Viable businesses and employment opportunities dissipate. Businesses close down or move out of the community, taking those jobs with them. With block after block of vacant and abandoned properties, added by a lack of job opportunities, the economic engine of a community can become stagnated. Resources become limited and the neighborhood becomes a breeding ground for crime.

affirmative obligation to identify deceased insureds and escheat policy proceeds five years after the date of a death reported on the DMF.” (Kemper Complaint pp 9, 20) The AARP, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the National Association of Social Workers supported the proposal so the final wishes of the deceased could be fulfilled.

The Death Master File, or DMF, is used by the Social Security Administration and other government agencies to fight waste, fraud and abuse. More than 20 life insurance companies representing more than 70 percent of the national market routinely check their policies against the DMF. Since 2011, Illinois has used audits to identify more than $550 million in life insurance proceeds that should have been paid to beneficiaries in Illinois.

“There are life insurance companies today that acknowledge in federal regulatory filings that they intentionally avoid paying death benefits to increase their profit margins,” Frerichs said. “We cannot allow this to continue. It hurts real people and stains the life insurance companies that are treating their customers fairly.”

Briefly $36 million in job training grants will help more than 17,000 veterans U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez announced the award of $36 million in Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program grants today to help an estimated 17,000 veterans successfully transition to sustainable housing and good civilian jobs. The grants will fund a variety of services to assist homeless veterans in their return to the labor force including occupational, classroom and on-the-job training, as well as job search and placement assistance.

“Veterans homelessness is a moral outrage and it hurts the economy as well,” said the secretary in announcing the grants at the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans’ annual conference today. “We know that America works best when we field a full team, and veterans are some of our most valuable players. When a lack of stable housing is keeping highly skilled veterans out of the workforce, we all lose out on their gifts and talents.”

Grants were awarded on a competitive basis to state and local workforce investment boards, local public agencies and nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and faith-based and community organizations. HVRP is the only federal program focused exclusively on employment of homeless veterans. President Obama has proposed increasing funding for the HVRP program to $50 million in the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget.

Many HVRP grant recipients’ awards will also include funding to allow them to target specific at-risk veteran populations. The Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program provides funding for services to expedite the reintegration of incarcerated or recently incarcerated veterans who are at risk for homeless into the labor force. The Homeless Female Veterans and Veterans with Families Program provides funding for services to expedite the reintegration of homeless female veterans and veterans with families into the labor force.

Sinai’s pilot CSU has been operating for ten months, serving up to 12 patients at a time, and has already had a big impact on the treatment of people facing a mental health emergency. An alternative to the standard emergency room, CSU patients receive immediate access to psychiatric and behavioral health professionals who can rapidly diagnose and treat their conditions, including prescribing medications.

As part of the launch of the Holy Cross Crisis Stabilization Unit, Sinai also announced a partnership with Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart to facilitate treatment for a wide array of individuals coming into the Sheriff’s custody. As part of the agreement, Sheriff’s Police officers and street units will utilize the Holy Cross CSU as part of Sheriff Dart’s mental health diversion strategy. The officers - all of whom have received advanced mental health training - will have the discretion to transport low-level, non-violent offenders undergoing psychiatric episodes to the CSU in lieu of arrest. Additionally, Sheriff Dart has committed to transporting Cook County Jail detainees in need of ongoing mental health treatment straight to the CSU upon their discharge and re-entry into the community.

Construction for the outpatient clinic and inpatient unit is underway and will be completed later this year.

Illinois Legislature Passes Automatic Voter Registration The Illinois legislature passed SB250, which would enact voter registration in the state. The bill now heads to Governor Rauner’s desk for signature, and if signed would make Illinois the fifth state in the last year to enact automatic voter registration. Ellen Kurz, President of iVote, issued the following statement.

“Today, Illinois is one step closer to making voting not only more modern and secure, but more cost-efficient by saving thousands by eliminating duplication and bureaucratic waste. These can be bipartisan values, and values we can all agree on, including Governor Rauner.” iVote, a national organization dedicated to going on the offense to expand access to voting, has built paid media campaigns in support of AVR in California, Illinois, Maryland, and New Jersey. In Illinois, iVote organized hundreds of grassroots phone calls into key legislators. Additionally, iVote spent $20,000 on digital ads to aide legislators and candidates, both Democrats and Republican, who signed iVote’s pledge to support AVR. iVote has also supported efforts in Oregon, Vermont, and West Virginia.

The most recent AVR bills to pass into law, in Vermont and West Virginia, were passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Additionally, Connecticut enacted automatic voter registration administratively at the end of May.

Senate votes to protect kids from lead-tainted water State Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago 7th) sponsored legislation that earned the Senate’s approval recently and will require increased testing for lead in drinking water, especially in schools, and stepped-up efforts to identify and replace lead service lines in water systems. Informed by the tragedy in Flint, Michigan, the measure also brings Illinois law into line with federal lead limits and includes new rules to keep the public informed about potential risks in their drinking water.

Senate Bill 550 requires water systems to complete an inventory of lead service lines used to distribute drinking water; the Department of Public Health must develop a program to identify lead hazards in schools statewide and to require their mitigation within a reasonable timeframe. Schools that serve preschool through fifth-grade State Senator Heather Steans students and were built before 1987 (D-Chicago 7th) must take samples from their drinking water sources and have them tested for lead. If the level of lead in any water sample from a school is 15 parts per billion – the “action level” set in federal law – or higher, parents and guardians must be informed of the level and the associated risks. Finally, water systems must notify residents of any construction work likely to cause elevated lead levels in their tap water and inform them if their water supply has been tested and exceeds the action level.

The legislation now moves to the House.

Money MATTERS

S&P Dow Jones Indices recently released the latest results for the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, the leading measure of U.S. home prices. Data released recently for March 2016 shows that home prices continued their rise across the country over the last 12 months.

YEAR-OVER-YEAR

The S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, covering all nine U.S. census divisions, reported a 5.2% annual gain in March, down from 5.3% the previous month. The 10-City Composite and the 20-City Composites’ year-over-year gains remained unchanged at 4.7% and 5.4%, respectively, from the prior month.

“Home prices are continuing to rise at a 5% annual rate, a pace that has held since the start of 2015,” says David M. Blitzer, Managing Director & Chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “The economy is supporting the price increases with improving labor markets, falling unemployment rates and extremely low mortgage rates. Another factor behind rising home prices is the limited supply of homes on the market. The number of homes currently on the market is less than two percent of the number of households in the U.S., the lowest percentage seen since the mid-1980s.

“Price movements vary across the country. The Pacific Northwest and the west continue to be the strongest regions. Seattle, Portland, Oregon and Denver had the largest year-over-year price increases. These cities also saw some of the largest declines in unemployment rates among the 20 cities included in the S&P/Case-Shiller Indices. The northeast and upper mid-west regions were at the other end of the ranking. The four cities with the smallest year-over-year prices gains were Washington DC, Chicago, New York, and Cleveland. The unemployment rates in Chicago and Cleveland rose from March 2015 to March 2016.”

More than 27 years of history for these data series is available, and can be accessed in full by going to www. homeprice.spdji.com. Additional content on the housing market can also be found on S&P Dow Jones Indices’ housing blog: www.housingviews.com.

Briefly Expedia introducing summer coupon savings of up to 96 percent off to commemorate 20th anniversary

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its founding in 1996, Expedia.com®, now one of the world’s largest full service travel sites, is introducing a 20th-themed sale as a special anniversary gift to customers.

Consumers can ow visit expedia.com/20-yearsof-expedia where they will uncover coupons throughout the summer, including 20% off hotels, $20 off hotels, $150 off packages and a surprise coupon offer where the discount could be as much as 96% off. Expedia will also offer hotel deals throughout the entire promotion, which runs through August 2, 2016.

Twitter recently introduced a new tool to combat spam and abuse in Periscope broadcasts. Periscope allows anyone to broadcast live to a global audience and enables viewers to interact in real time. Designed to be transparent, live, and community-led, the new reporting tool gives people watching the broadcast the ability to report comments they find inappropriate as they appear on the screen. A small group of randomly selected live viewers will then vote on whether they agree with the reporter’s assessment. Those found to be sending spammy or abusive comments will be temporarily disabled from commenting within the broadcast.

“We want our community to feel comfortable when broadcasting,” said Kayvon Beykpour, Periscope CEO and co-founder.

“One of the unique things about Periscope is that you’re often interacting with people you don’t Logo know; that immediate intimacy is what makes it Twitter (PRNewsFoto/ such a captivating experience. But that intimacy Twitter, Inc.) can also be a vulnerability if strangers post abusive comments. Broadcasters have always been able to moderate commenters in their broadcast, but we’ve now created a transparent tool that allows the collective actions of viewers to help moderate bad actors as well.”

The new report tool is accessible by tapping on a comment within a broadcast. People can report a comment for being spam,

abuse, or for other reasons, i.e., the comment is in a foreign language.

Comments that are flagged as spam or abuse are then put to a jury of randomly selected live viewers who are asked to help moderate the comment by determining whether it is abuse or spam, looks okay, or they’re not sure. Periscope acknowledges that live viewers are best suited to ascertain what constitutes abuse, given that the context of the broadcast impacts the tone of the comments. Regardless of the outcome, the person reporting the broadcast won’t see comments from the person they reported for the rest of the broadcast.

People whose comments have been deemed spam or abuse are then temporarily disabled from commenting within the broadcast. Repeat offenses will result in chat being disabled for that commenter for the remainder of the broadcast. Periscope has designed the feature to be transparent so people on both sides – reporter and moderators as well as commenter – understand the outcome, and lightweight so they’re able to participate with minimal disruption to their viewing experience. This system works in tandem with other safety tools already in place: the ability to report ongoing harassment or abuse, block and remove people from broadcasts, and restrict comments to mutual followers. People will have the choice to disable the comment moderation tool in their broadcasts or choose not to participate as moderators.

Verizon reaches tentative agreements with unions representing wireline employees After nearly a year of intensive negotiations, Verizon Communications Inc. announced recently that it has reached tentative agreements with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) on new contracts for about 36,000 employees who work primarily for the company’s network operations and consumer and mass business units. The company will achieve cost savings and cost avoidance through healthcare plan design changes, adopting Medicare Advantage plans for retirees, maintaining limits on post-retirement healthcare costs, and freezing the mortality table for lump sum pensions using the GATT rate. In addition, the agreements allow for greater flexibility in call sharing to better serve customers and give the company the ability to offer special buyout incentives to employees. Employees covered by these contracts will receive a wage increase of 10.5% over the term of the contract, which would

Op/Ed

Fashionable lockers at home keep kids organized Accessorize your overall look with a watch that matches your personal style.

Choosing the Right Watch for Your Personal Style These days, watches definitely aren’t just for telling time. No, today’s timepieces are more about making a very clear statement. About who you are. Or, for some, who you aspire to be. “Watches have become a part of fashion and an extension of our personality,” says Lauren Dimet Waters of Second City Style. “But there’s also no denying that they remain, for both men and women, an indicator of one’s status.” And just in case you doubt that, here’s one of the ultimate “tells”: So many people are so into watches that the wildly popular TV series “Mad Men” uses classic ‘60s timepieces to signal hero Don Draper’s career ascent.

Need help finding the watch that says “you”? Read on: The Fashionista: She’s the one whose look everyone in the office will be emulating months later -- whether it’s gray nail polish, riding boots or an armful of bangles. The Linea wraparound from Swiss watchmaker Baume & Mercier (www. baume-et-mercier.com/en-us/collection-linea) is the Fashionista’s perfect first luxury watch, given its gracefully rounded curves and -- here’s the clincher -- wraparound strap that comes in an accessorizer’s dream choice of colors. “Burgundy is hot right now,” says Waters.

The Entrepreneur: Inspiring potential investors is critical, but what to do if all your money is being plowed back into your business? Two words: Go retro. Chances are an older relative’s jewelry box contains at least one classic timepiece they’ve totally forgotten about. The Sporty Guy: When just about everyone you know owns the same cool electronic gadgets -- which is still truer for men than it is for women -- that calls for a watch that’s absolutely one-of-a-kind among your friends. The trick is finding one that works just as well with a $3,000 suit as it does with jeans and a tee. Enter Baume & Mercier’s blue-dial Capeland 10065 (www.baume-et-mercier. com/en-us/collection-capeland/capeland-10065), which hits the trifecta with its chronograph, telemeter and tachymeter features on a thick black alligator leather strap. Shop this watch at the Baume & Mercier e-boutique or by calling 1-800-MERCIER, where free wrapping and free engraving are available.

The Individualist: She’d rather wrestle an alligator than be accused of going along to get along. That means “yes” to an oversized men’s watch -- a popular trend for women -- but “no” to ruining the effect with a load of diamonds on the bezel. Finally, the answer to one of the most often-asked questions. How many watches does a person need? “As many as (you) want or can afford,” a Wall Street Journal blogger opined. News USA

emember the days when you were in school and you had a locker to store your books, boots, lunch, jacket and anything else you could make fit? Well, the same, durable lockers you used back in your school days are available for home and office use.

The most popular, widely used lockers offer maximum space for hanging clothing and other belongings.

Each locker has a convenient shelf for placing hats and other small articles.

The hooks on the top, back and sides allow you to hang clothing, backpacks and other items. Garages, mudrooms, basements and even bedrooms are great places to have a locker or two if you want to organize your stuff in a trendy manner.

If you have school-aged children, lockers for backpacks and coats can help them stay organized at home as well as at school. After all, lockers are basically shelves with doors and hooks.

Children can place their school items in their lockers when they arrive home, reducing the risk of misplaced folders and notebooks. Vibrant storage lockers also provide an eye-appealing solution to messy rooms. Children can use lockers to house their toys or to store their sports uniform and paraphernalia.

Shelving.com and its sister site, TheShelvingStore.com, have been providing lockers to their clients for over 50 years. They recommend choosing lockers that reflect children’s personalities.

Bubblegum pink lockers are popular with girls, while boys often choose marine blue or salsa red.

But children can enjoy other colors as well. A child with a sunny disposition might like dandelion yellow, while purple grape might appeal to a Barney the dinosaur fan. Mix and match colors for added flair. For example, many University of Michigan fans choose to decorate with Lockers can help children stay organized at home, too. blue and yellow lockers.

Muhammad Ali: A Profile in Moral Courage

“I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong -- no Viet Cong ever called me nigger.”

With those pointed words, Muhammad Ali explained his opposition to the US war in Vietnam and justified his refusal to submit himself to the draft. He declared himself a conscientious objector. After declining three times to step forward for induction into the US Armed Forces in April of 1967 in Houston, Texas, the reigning world heavyweight boxing champion was arrested, stripped of his title and state boxing licenses, and thrown into a three-year legal battle ending with his exoneration (on technical grounds) by the US Supreme Court.

No one ever seriously doubted the physical courage of Muhammed Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. in 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky). An Olympic gold medalist and winner of eight Golden Gloves titles, he became the youngest man ever to unseat a reigning heavyweight boxing champion at 22.

Clay, named after a Kentucky planter who became a crusader for the abolition of slavery, converted to Islam and changed his name shortly after that 1964 technical knockout victory over Sonny Liston. He was fearless in the ring (perhaps forever “the greatest,” as he called himself and came

THE JOURNEY BEGINS

Four Member Newspapers to Mentor the Selected Students in “Discover the Unexpected” Program

PARTNERSHIPS:

NNPA Drives with Chevrolet to Launch Historic Journalism Fellowship at Howard University WASHINGTON, D.C. – At a news conference on Wednesday, March 23 at Howard University, the NNPA partnered with Chevrolet and Howard University’s School of Communications to announce the “Discover the Unexpected” (DTU) Fellowship Program. Designed to support the next generation of African American journalists, eight Howard communications students will be selected for an innovative journalism program that will pair them in teams of two with a professional advisor from four NNPA member newspapers: Washington Informer, Atlanta Voice, Michigan Chronicle and Chicago Defender. The students will be challenged to develop news stories that impact their communities, thereby discovering the unexpected. chevy_homeMichelle Matthews-Alexander, Diversity Marketing Manager of Chevrolet, said the fellows will be paid a stipend and earn tuition scholarships. In addition, Chevrolet will present the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Malibu to the Fellows news teams to use during a portion of their reporting assignment. The application deadline Howard students to apply was April 10, 2016, with Fellows to be selected by a panel of NNPA publishers, editors and Howard faculty.

Representing NNPA at the press conference were President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. and Chair Denise Rolark-Barnes. In his remarks, Dr. Chavis, who noted the NNPA’s longstanding

partnership with Chevrolet, said, “The Black Press is the trusted voice of Black America. When the students file their stories, they will do it within the context of that trusted relationship. This program is going to give the students a foundation that they will use for the rest of their careers.”

Barnes, whose paper will be a mentoring institution stated, “Student journalists who work at

Black newspapers get a global experience, because the needs are often greater and the expectations are higher.”

This program is illustrative of the kinds of partnerships that NNPA seeks to develop and expand as an ongoing initiative. For more information about the program go to www.nnpa. org/dtu.

This summer, a select group of Howard University students are bringing you something special - good news! They will share untold and uplifting stories from the African American community as part of the first-ever DISCOVER THE UNEXPECTED program presented by Chevrolet Malibu in partnership with the National Newspaper Publishers Association. Teams will cover stories in Detroit, Washington D.C., Chicago and Atlanta. Plus, they’ll get to navigate the city in an all-new 2016 Malibu. Join them on this exciting journey of discovery and inspiration. #discovertheunexpected

First Evangelical Free Church of Chicago hosts “Move over Amelia, that’s my grandma’s place in history!”

After a lifetime of hearing “Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly around the world,” Edgewater resident, Rita Juanita Mock, granddaughter of aviation pioneer Jerrie Mock, helps to correct the false perceptions about this world record in a humorous, intimate new stage production opening in Chicago this June: The Flying Housewife, A True Story.

Jerrie Mock dreamed of flying around the world from early in life.

In 1964, as a 38-year-old wife and mother of three, she fulfilled this dream by piloting a single-engine Cessna 180 solo around the world in 29 days, 11 hours and some minutes. Now, 52 years later, her stories of encountering engine trouble over the ocean, sandstorms, sabotage, dining with royalty, and more come to life once again in this deeply personal retelling of Jerrie’s flight into history.

Jerrie’s granddaughter, a current Edgewater resident, adventureseeker and playwright, has not only written the script, but is also directing and executively producing this show to keep it as historically accurate as possible. Through this effort, even some of Jerrie’s biggest fans will gain a new perspective of this courageous, unconventional, and humorous lady and her family prior to, during, and after this incredible adventure of the Flying Housewife.

Show dates: June 2-5, 10-12, hosted at First Evangelical Free Church of Chicago, 5255 N. Ashland Avenue, Chicago, IL 60640.

GEMINI The Gemini Profile Gemini’s triplicity is in the air element, and his quadruplicity is mutable. These two important classifications help to make the nuances of Gemini’s character.

The typical chart-dominant Gemini will display many of the following characteristics:

Novelty Boredom is toxic to a dominant Gemini.

The air element that governs Gemini feeds upon intellectual stimulation. Combine that with the mutable and ever-changing energy of Gemini’s triplicity, and you have an individual that thrives on new pursuits.

Unfinished projects are highly common in the life of a Gemini, as are speedy relationships and abandoned hobbies. This isn’t because Gemini is too lazy to finish, but because the typical Gemini is bright and easily distracted. It is a real challenge to tie this one down.

Curiosity Geminis ask questions about everything.

Pat answers are not for this sign. The air element works strongly to fuel the intellect of all air signs, but the mutable aspect of Gemini keeps the questions coming. This makes for a highly skilled debater. When a Gemini is backed by a high intelligence quotient, you’ll see a razor sharp conversationalist that can jump skillfully from topic to topic. Chart-dominant Geminis make excellent lawyers.

Socially Outgoing Geminis love to talk and they are in their element both at parties and behind the podium. They are not homebodies, like Cancer and Taurus. A Gemini likes to be out and about, learning about the world and particularly about how others think.

Summer Brain Games help keep kids engaged and learning this summer

T

ake off on a voyage of exploration this summer with hands-on science activities related to the theme of travel through the Summer Brain Games program from the Museum of Science and Industry.

Summer Brain Games offers eight weeks of free and fun at-home science experiments designed to combat the “summer brain drain.” Families receive a FREE Museum Entry voucher when they sign up online at msichicago.org/summerbrain (one ticket per household). This year’s Summer Brain Games runs June 86 through August 13, 2016. Registration is now open, and vouchers will be emailed when the program kicks off on June 86.

Registered families will receive weekly emails with detailed instructions on eight different travel-themed science activities that can be easily done (with some adult supervision) using items found around the house or inexpensively purchased.

Kids will be on the move with experiments that teach about engineering, physics, materials science and other STEM subjects as they launch a glider,

move a vehicle with propulsion, engineer a parachute and more. It’s a great way for families with kids of all ages to stay active and enthused as they learn more about the world around them.

“Kids lose about three months of learning over the summer, which means those first few weeks when school starts again is devoted to relearning the same concepts,” said Bryan Wunar, the Museum’s director of community initiatives. “With Summer Brain Games, thousands of kids and their families join us to experiment, learn and have fun together. We are excited to bring back this program for a fourth year.”

Families can register NOW at msichicago.org/summerbrain. When the program kicks off on June 86, they’ll receive a voucher good for a FREE Museum Entry ticket to MSI, and the instructions for the first activity. Then each week, families will receive an email with instructions and tips on each activity and additional suggestions on how to explore science during the summer. Thousands of registrants from around the country have enjoyed the program the past four summers.
