MKT-P0108

SPRINGFIELD – State education officials and youth employment advocates are proposing expanding job skills programs in areas with large minority student populations and high unemployment, while also removing barriers to employment that disproportionately affect minorities. The proposals were offered during the final joint meeting of the Senate Education and Higher Education committees Thursday morning. The joint education committees have met eight times since mid-September to discuss improvements to education and workforce development, which is one of four pillars that comprise the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus’ agenda. The other three pillars are criminal justice reform, violence reduction and police accountability, economic access, equity and opportunity and health care and human services. One area of focus during the committee’s discussion was career and technical education, or CTE, programs in state high schools that are designed to prepare students for technical skills jobs. In 2019, 773 of the 823 total Illinois public high schools offered CTE programs, as well as 14 regional programs and 24 area career centers, according to Jennifer Kirmes, executive director for teaching and learning at the Illinois State Board of Education. “CTE programs prepare students for post-secondary education, and for careers in high-wage, high-skill and in-demand occupations,” Kirmes said during the committee meeting. However, income disparities exist between Black graduates and their white counterparts, after entering the workforce with a skills-based job, said Brian Durham, executive director of the Illinois Community College Board. Three years after graduation, the ICCB’s data show that graduates earn roughly $6,000 less than their white counterparts, according to Durham. The data for 2019 indicates that the number of white students enrolled in CTE programs was more than five times the number of Black students, and the number of white students graduating from those programs was more than five times the amount of Black graduates. Durham said one way the ICCB is trying to reduce these racial disparities is by implementing the state’s Perkins State Plan for CTE, which is necessitated by a 2018 federal law. That federal law is known as Perkins V, which was signed by President Donald Trump in 2018. It requires states to submit a four-year plan for implementing CTE programs and seeking to address educational inequity in those programs among marginalized, minority and low-income populations. “Colleges have to demonstrate that they are working to make changes to decrease the achievement gap and meet some challenges in educational equity across these key areas,” he said. “It requires evidence based strategies, and then we are also conducting a racial campus climate study across

Kimberly Lightford listens to testimony from stakeholders during a joint hearing of the Senate Education and Higher Education committees on Thursday that included a discussion of how lawmakers can improve education and employment outcomes for youths, especially young minorities, in Illinois.

the system as well, so that we can provide campus-level and statewide information to that to the campuses to help them in their assessment.” Lawmakers also discussed the high rate of unemployment among youth and young minorities at the Thursday committee. In Illinois, for example, the unemployment rate in 2019 was 12.5 percent for white residents ages 16 to 19, while it was 28.2 percent for Black residents in that age group. Jack Wuest, executive director of the Alternative Schools Network, said a young person who is unemployed but returns to school and graduates will save Illinois taxpayers $300,000 over that person’s lifetime. “They are going to be less in need of the health, welfare and prison systems, and they’re going to make more money and pay more taxes,” Wuest said. “What we need is a broader employment program, with the state, the city and federal government, particularly, providing those kinds of jobs linked to education.” Wuest said the federal government should bring back a Civilian Conservation Corps — which was a nineyear program established by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s administration during the Great Depression. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) has proposed a $55 billion federal workforce program, modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps, that would provide training to anyone 16 years or older for at least two weeks for positions lasting a minimum of 12 weeks, but no longer than one year. “We’ve got a great congressional group in the city and the state to advocate for this kind of level of money that sounds crazy but it isn’t if it provides these young people a chance to move forward, and also provide stability and lack of disturbances and riots that will occur if these young people have no other opportunity and no other outlet,” Wuest said. Mari Castaldi, director of policy and advocacy at the Chicago Jobs Council, emphasized the importance of closing the skills gap, as well as removing institutional barriers that typically impact low-income and minority communities, in order to decrease unemployment for marginalized groups. While 52 percent of jobs in Illinois are middle skills — meaning jobs that require more than a high school diploma, but less than a bachelor’s degree — only 41 percent of workers meet that educational attainment level,

Castaldi said. “However, closing our skills gap only gets us part of the way to better job prospects for working people,” she said. “The second task, which has been mentioned throughout this hearing, is to close the opportunity gap created by systemic barriers related to race, age and gender, which include workplace discrimination, occupational segregation, community disinvestment, and lack of access to transportation, childcare, and stable housing. And for many hard working people, of course, this opportunity gap is an even bigger hurdle. So the best workforce development policies have to consider not only how to impart those skills, but also address systemic barriers faced by workers and job seekers.” Castaldi said her organization recommends investing greater state funding in career programming as a way to address some of the systemic barriers and enhance racial equity in employment. “We know that outside of the community college system, the vast majority of public funding for job training programs and workforce development in Illinois comes from federal sources,” she said. “By our initial estimate, over 90 percent of workforce funding in Illinois comes from these dwindling federal sources, which have actually decreased by 30 percent in real terms over the past two decades.” Castaldi suggested lawmakers invest state funding in projects such as a Barrier Reduction Fund, to help job seekers and career training program participants address barriers to employment. She also urged that they implement policy changes at the state level to remove unnecessary barriers that disproportionately impact young people, minorities and

women. For example, she said, Illinois still suspends driver’s licenses of people who can’t afford to pay ticket debt from automated camera tickets and low-level traffic tickets. Current estimates indicate that as many as 500,000 Illinoisans had suspended licenses for failure to pay, she said, despite the implementation of the Illinois License to Work Act this year, which no longer allows for non-moving violations to result in a suspended Illinois driver’s license. “Given the virtual necessity of a driver’s license for many good paying jobs, including these trades jobs, ending economic license suspension would open up opportunities for many thousands of people,” she said. During the hearing, Senate and House lawmakers also heard testimony from representatives from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the Illinois Board of Higher Education, Teach for America, Relay Graduate School of Education, YouthBuild Illinois, and Empower Illinois/Untapped Potential Project. In a news release, Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford, D-Maywood, said the committee learned that there are challenges at every level of the education system that need to be addressed. “We have a long way to go before we can say that our state’s education system is built to empower every child’s growth,” Lightford said. “I’m committed to working with my colleagues to reach that goal.”

Protect Your Finances from “Cyberthieves”

FSSA pilot programs treat Hoosiers in justice system

You’ve no doubt heard reports of personal data being stolen and used for financial fraud – anything from online shopping on your credit cards to actual theft from your financial accounts. This problem won’t go away anytime soon – but you can take steps to defend yourself. Here are a few suggestions: Use multifactor authentication or other extra security options with online accounts. Many of your online accounts offer extra security by giving you the option to prove your identity in different ways. With mutifactor authentication, you must provide at least two different factors to prove your identity when you log in to an account. This additional layer of security provides you with much greater protection. Be creative with passwords. Create different passwords for work, financial services sites, social media and email – and give each password some length and complexity. Consider passphrases – actual words combined with symbols and numbers (for example, “ThisIsAPassphrase!2468”), for sites that allow them. Protect your computer and your key data. Keep your antivirus software updated. And don’t install bootleg or unlicensed software, which could infect your computer with a virus. Also, back up your important data. Watch out for fake websites or apps. When making financial transactions, be sure you’re on the website of your bank or financial institution – and not on a fake site established by hackers. Your financial statements should have the legitimate website, so bookmark it and use it when doing anything with your accounts. Also, be careful when downloading apps – stick with those from established providers such as Google Play or the App Store.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction today announced a series of pilot programs designed to increase access to mental health care for inmates in Indiana county jails. The pilot programs will focus on individuals found incompetent to stand trial who are awaiting placement in the state psychiatric hospital network. Currently and historically in Indiana, these individuals are forced to await the availability of a bed in a state psychiatric hospital before they can receive the competency restoration services required by law. DMHA’s pilot programs will work with a variety of partners to provide these services in three new, and different settings: jails, the community, and private inpatient psychiatric settings. “We know that there are too many people suffering from serious mental illness that end up in the justice system, and many county jails are not equipped to provide them the treatment that they need,” said Jay Chaudhary, DMHA director. “These pilot programs represent important first

Avoid “over-sharing” on social media. Cyberthieves constantly stalk social media platforms for information they can use to commit their crimes. You can help stymie them by limiting what you share online. It’s a good idea to keep your full name, address and birthday private. You might also avoid discussing your plans for upcoming vacations. And review your privacy settings periodically so that only people you know or approve can see your information. Limit use of public Wi-Fi. Hackers often set up their own Wi-Fi networks in public areas, such as the computers found in hotel business centers. Ask an employee for the name of the legitimate network. And even when you use it, log off when you’re finished. Don’t take the bait of “phishers.” Cyberthieves go “phishing” for sensitive information – usernames, passwords and account numbers – by sending communications, such as emails, purporting to be from a business or financial institution with which you often do business. They may claim your account was “suspended” or that an “unauthorized transaction” was made, and you’ll be asked to click on a link that takes you to what appears to be the company’s website. If you go along with this request, you could find malicious software being downloaded on your computer. But legitimate businesses generally won’t ask for account numbers or passwords unless you initiate the transaction. Other signs of phishing include threatening language, “urgent” requests, misspelled words or odd word choices. If an email does look suspicious to you, delete it without opening it. This list is not exhaustive, but by putting these steps to work, you can at least reduce the risk of becoming victimized by cybercriminals.

Therapeutic Environments), will transition appropriate county jail inmates throughout Indiana to partnering inpatient psychiatric providers. “By treating individuals more quickly and in more appropriate settings, we hope to reduce the amount of time they spend in legal limbo, with charges suspended and indefinitely tying up public resources,” said Chaudhary. “In addition, we hope to reduce the waitlist and wait times for our state hospitals through early identification and treatment of individuals who may never actually need the highly intensive, expensive services provided in the state psychiatric hospital network.” The jail- and communitybased pilot programs are already in early operation. Project CREATE should begin serving inmates by the end of this year. “As president of the Indiana Sheriff’s Association, I thank the governor, FSSA and DMHA for working with ISA to help us deal with the number one problem in Indiana jails: providing help for inmates with serious mental health issues,” said Porter County Sheriff David Reynolds.

steps being taken by the state in collaboration with our county jails to improve the treatment of justice-involved individuals with mental illnesses in Indiana.” The jail-based restoration pilot programs are being launched in Marion and Vanderburgh counties in partnership with community mental health centers Adult and Child Health and Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare Inc. respectively. These organizations will provide services directly to jail inmates, with a goal of restoring competency and resolving the criminal case much more quickly, rather than awaiting the availability of a state hospital bed. A separate communitybased restoration program will also pilot in Marion County, also in partnership with Adult and Child. It is geared toward providing competency restoration to individuals whom a court decides are safe to return to the community while awaiting competency restoration and will include therapy, skills training and legal education.

Speaking Of Seniors

Saved Whiting Senior Money WOODROW WILCOX On November 5, 2020, I saved money for a 92-year-old client from Whiting, Indiana. I saved her $73.17. She got a bill from a local medical firm and forwarded the bill to me to check for her. She wanted to know if she should pay the bill. I reviewed the bill and phoned her Medicare supplement insurance company to learn what it knew about the claims. IT REPORTED THAT MEDICARE NEVER SENT THE CLAIMS TO IT. That is not the fault of our senior citizen client. It is Medicare’s fault. To help our client, I wrote to the medical firm and reported this. I asked them to send certain essential claim information directly to the insurance company. When that is done, the claim will be paid and I will have saved our client $73.17.

All the help that I gave this client from Whiting was FREE OF CHARGE.

Dental and vision exams can help detect diabetes early NAPERVILLE, Ill. (Nov. 5, 2020) — Diabetes is a growing problem in Illinois and across the nation. About 1.3 million Illinois adults have diabetes. That’s nearly 13% of the state’s population. But more than a quarter of Illinoisans living with diabetes don’t realize they have this potentially life-threatening disease.[1] This November during American Diabetes Month, Delta Dental of Illinois is partnering with the American Diabetes Association to bring awareness to the growing prevalence of diabetes and risks associated with the disease. “Diabetes is a prime example of how your oral and overall health are connected,” said Dr. Sheila Strock, vice president, dental services and science officer at Delta Dental of Illinois. “Diabetes can increase your risk of gum disease, and gum disease can contribute to the progression of diabetes.” Connection between oral and overall health Your mouth and eyes can show early signs of diabetes. People with diabetes are more likely to develop periodontal (gum) disease, which can also lead to tooth loss. Gum disease may also make it harder to manage diabetes by increasing blood sugar levels.[2] Other oral health problems associated with diabetes include cavities, dry mouth, burning mouth syndrome, oral infections and problems tasting food. In addition, diabetes can impact your vision by damaging small blood vessels in your retina. “That’s why preventive checkups are so important,” Strock said. “Even if you may not be aware you have symptoms of diabetes, your dentist or optometrist may notice them during routine exams.” An oral exam can help detect more than 120 diseases, including diabetes, that show early symptoms in the mouth and jaw.[3] During a regular checkup, dentists and dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar that can lead to gum disease.

Those diagnosed with diabetes may need to visit their dentist more frequently for cleanings and preventive care. Early detection is crucial Diabetes is the seventh-leading cause of death in Illinois and the United States.[4] This serious chronic disease has no cure. It affects how your body turns food into energy and places you at greater risk for serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease and amputations. Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, extreme hunger, unexplained weight loss, frequent urination, slow-healing sores, fatigue, irritability and blurred vision. “Illinoisans experiencing any of these symptoms should inform their physician, dentist and optometrist,” Strock said. “Your health care providers can work together to diagnose your condition and help develop a treatment and management plan that’s best for you.” Tips for preventing and managing diabetes Not all types of diabetes are preventable. But routine dental and vision exams can help detect diabetes early, while a healthy lifestyle can help lower blood sugar and manage the disease. Steps toward better health include: Eating a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and high-fiber foods like beans and whole grains. Exercising regularly. Avoiding tobacco and consuming alcohol in moderation. Brushing teeth twice and flossing once daily. Visiting the dentist regularly. Since people with diabetes are at higher risk for gum disease, they may need to visit the dentist for additional preventive care, such as more frequent cleanings.

WINNING PUMPKIN HAS SAFETY MESSAGE AT COS Christ Our Savior Catholic School students participated in a recent Halloween pumpkin decorating contest. One of the winners was an entry from the fourth grade class of a pumpkin teaching the importance of COVID prevention. The yellow masked pumpkin sat on a cart that contained all the necessary PPE equipment needed to attend classes face to face at Christ Our Savior School in South Holland. There is still room for students to enroll for five days a week for face to face instruction in a safe environment. Contact Christ Our Savior School at 708333-8173 or reach out to Principal Karen Brodzik at iteachkb@aol.com via email.

5 Vital Facts About Signing Up For Coverage at HealthCare.gov: #1: Sign up by December 15th. Open Enrollment starts on November 1st, but you must take action by December 15th, no matter if you’re returning or this is your first time getting covered. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the greatest health insurance losses in American history. Demand for coverage will be significantly higher this year, so beat the rush and sign up early. #2: Coverage could be cheaper than you think. Last year at HealthCare.gov, 9 in 10 people qualified for financial help to make their monthly premiums more affordable. 4.7 million uninsured people were eligible for a plan with a $0 monthly premium. #3: Shop and save. If you had coverage through HealthCare.gov for 2020, you should

come back to update your information and compare your options for 2021. Every year, plans and prices change; you could save money by switching to a new plan that still meets your needs. #4: COVID-19 is raging across America and there’s no end in sight. Accidents happen, and people get sick. Health insurance protects you from the unexpected. #5: Free help is available. If you have questions about signing up or want to talk through your options with a trained professional, free help is just a quick call away. Call 1-800-318-2596, visit localhelp. healthcare.gov, or make a one-on-one appointment now.

Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom uses virtual field trips, and online activities Groups of kids pile on a yellow bus with excitement and anticipation on their faces as they await their destination. While this field trip scene may not be possible for quite some time due to the ongoing pandemic, there are virtual field trips and other alternative activities that teachers can use to keep students engaged in their classrooms. Whether Illinois educators are teaching their classes in-person, virtually or a combination of the two, Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom (IAITC) continues to offer free, educational resources that support teachers and their students. The Illinois Center for Agricultural Engagement’s IAITC program has worked to bring agriculture into the state’s curriculum since 1981. In a typical year, the program works through local ag literacy coordinators to offer hands-on learning activities and educational resources that teachers can integrate into their classrooms. This year, however, the coronavirus changed the way many teachers are working with their students, prompting programs like IAITC to develop new, online education tools for teachers to use this fall. The program’s lineup of activities includes virtual field trips, hosted over Zoom, which teachers can sign their classes up to attend. Each experience is also recorded and housed on the IAITC website for later viewing. So far, the program has taken students to the Brookfield Zoo, an apple orchard and a pumpkin patch in Illinois. Teachers interested in joining next month’s look inside a pig farm with Bruce Brinkman Farms in Monroe County on Nov. 5 can sign up for the virtual field trip at https://iaitc.co/fieldtrips. Other online resources include a series of virtual interviews with ag book authors, weekly featured classroom lessons and interactive activities designed for students learning at home. Mary Zumwalt, a fourth-grade teacher at Altamont Lutheran School, has watched all of the

virtual field trips and author interviews with her class. After each activity, her students journal about what they have learned and share their thoughts during group discussions. “Even though we aren’t able to do field trips outside school, this way of doing field trips using Ag in the Classroom’s virtual resources has been amazing,” said Zumwalt. IAITC also offers opportunities for teachers in need of professional development hours. These monthly workshops, called “PD in Your PJs,” provide educators with the tools to develop lessons that meet various state learning standards and center around different ag topics each month. “My team and I, along with our ag literacy coordinators, are working hard to stay connected with teachers while finding new and meaningful ways to maintain outreach with local students,” said Illinois Center for Agricultural Engagement Director Kevin Daugherty. While everyone has been impacted by the global pandemic, agriculture education in Illinois remains a priority. Recent gifts to support the IAITC program include a $90,000 donation from the Illinois Corn Marketing Board and a $70,000 donation from the Illinois Soybean Association. An additional $170,000 donation was collectively contributed by the Illinois Farm Bureau family of companies, which includes COUNTRY Financial, GROWMARK and Prairie Farms Dairy. These funds allow IAITC to offer programs and supplies at no cost to educators across the state. “We know our educators have a lot to worry about right now,” said Daugherty. “We’re committed to providing teachers, students and families with the resources they need to keep students engaged in learning.” For more information about IAITC resources, visit www.beyondthebarndoor.wordpress.com or contact your local ag literacy coordinator.

Real Estate Questions & Answers CATHY & JIM HIGGINS Question: We recently made on offer on a home, the owner counter-offered, we turned down the counter-offer. A few days later we e-mailed the broker that we would like to make the same offer again. A couple of days later the broker called and said the owner was considering our offer. A few more days passed, we heard nothing from the broker, but we decided to go with the owner’s counter-offer if the seller turned us down again. The call never came from the broker. Instead an e-mail was sent saying the owner didn’t accept our original offer and that the home was now under contract. Now we think we should have been given the first chance to accept the owner’s terms instead of it being sold to someone else. The home had been on the market for more than a year so it wasn’t like there was a great demand for it. What do you think? Answer: You were given any number of chances to buy the property. First you made an offer that was not accepted. Then

the owners made a counter-offer that you could have instantly accepted -- but did not. Then you re-submitted your original offer and it was not accepted by the sellers. Lastly, you want another chance at the counter-offer you first rejected but by this time the owners had accepted a bid from other purchasers. The bottom line: You had your chance. There are many players in the marketplace. The fact that the home did no quickly sell does not mean the owners are required to sell on your terms. Lastly, an offer or counter-offer once rejected is dead and need not be re-considered. E-mail us your Real Estate questions at Cathyah@aol.com. Thinking of selling your home?

November is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Help is out there.

MIKE BUDER Every home has a story to tell. If you have young children and you are selling or buying a home, share this one with them… Enjoy. DAY 1: The Realtor came over today and he brought a camera with him. First they moved some of my furnishings around (it tickled), opened my drapes and took some photos. I smiled my best smile. DAY 3: The pictures came in…I look great. I heard that my owner (sniff, they’re trying to get rid of me) is having a “cleaning crew” come over this weekend. I’m a little nervous. DAY 5: The cleaning crew was here…it hurt a little but I look and smell a lot better. While the cleaning crew was here, a painter came by and touched up a few areas where I wasn’t looking my best. Later in the day a carpet cleaner came and cleaned my carpets. I feel fresh and clean. DAY 8: I’m on the market…I’m on the market!!! There are beautiful photos of me all over the Internet…and there’s a sign stuck in my front yard that says “FOR SALE”. DAY 14: We’ve had lots of strangers showing up. Often when my owners aren’t home. This makes me really nervous. DAY 23: I’m totally exhausted by over 3 weeks of having to look pretty…but I’ve heard a rumor that someone has written an offer on me. I hope it was the couple with the little boy that liked my room with the blue paint. It would be perfect for him. DAY 24: They say I’m sold. It was the family

with the little boy, and they have a girl too. I’m very nervous. DAY 25: The family that bought me came over with a mean man who told them all the things that are wrong with me…the nerve!!! DAY 29: My family has agreed to do the major repairs. I’m going to miss them. DAY 60: My family has moved out. A big truck arrived and they loaded all of their things in the truck and drove away. She stood on my porch for a few minutes and cried. She touched my brick, tenderly. I’ll miss her… I’m sad. DAY 65: The new family came for something called a “walk-through”, and they brought both of the children…they were so excited to see me…and they loved the swing set that my current owners put in the yard for their kids when they were young. They talked about their plans for me. I really tried not to like them, but they’re going to repaint me, top-tobottom. They’re going to bring in a brand new kitchen and update both bathrooms. I think we’re going to get along just fine.

Are Your Employees Zoning Out In Zoom Meetings? Tips From A Remote Veteran The coronavirus changed the world into a planet of remote workers, but several months into the pandemic some companies and individuals are still grappling with the challenges of working apart. Employees have more distractions at home and some can find it harder to focus. Questions persist, such as: Can video conferencing be as effective as in-person communicating? Will workplace culture – and production – suffer from a lack of traditional human interaction? “Many companies and employees weren’t prepared for this major life switch,” says Cynthia Spraggs (www. virtira.com), a veteran of working remotely, author of How To Work From Home

And Actually Get SH*T Done, and CEO of Virtira, a completely virtual company that helps other businesses work virtually. “Companies became obsessed with maintaining their brick-and-mortar culture despite the fact their offices were completely deserted. I heard several horror stories about companies mandating that employees eat lunch on camera or play bar games with cocktails on Zoom after an exhausting workday. “Not only were these extra obligations not necessary, they didn’t take into account the busier new lives of harried workers – many now with homeschooled kids and juggling schedules with spouses also working from home. Some remote

workforces have transitioned smoothly, but a great many need to learn how to adjust.” Drawing from experiences she has had advising companies on how to work remotely and maintain performance, Spraggs offers some tips on getting the most out of online meetings: Flex your virtual meeting time. “From managing hundreds of regional and global online events, I can tell you the maximum anyone should be in an online meeting is four hours,” Spraggs says. “Two hours is much better for a maximum. When they run longer, your participants are going to experience significant muscle and eye fatigue, not to mention be tempted by the incredible distractions that come with working remotely.”

Template everything. When managers ran meetings in a conference room, they could ban phones and have everyone’s attention. With remote meetings, managers have lost that control. “They need to build virtual walls and a structure to keep things on track,” Spraggs says. “This is where templates for meeting agendas, action items, business reviews, etc., come into play. Make these available from the central dashboard and reinforce on calls where they are and how to find them.” Protest pointless meetings. “Pointless includes inviting a whole host of people to a meeting who don’t need to be there,” Spraggs says. “Don’t take valuable chunks of work time away from team members for a call they don’t

need to be on.” Treat meetings like contract discussions. Spraggs notes that back in the day informal meetings in a physical office sometimes allowed employees to shine in front of their bosses. “But online loosey-goosey meetings without any real point don’t get anyone anywhere,” she says. “To accomplish anything of substance, set a strong agenda and stick to it. Get opinions from everyone. For the introverts not comfortable with sharing, consider implementing anonymous input forms. You’ll be amazed how engagement increases. Like a contract, you need to document what the team decided, and what the priorities are. Put those in the meeting minutes, distribute,

and follow up on them.” Don’t drive yourself to distraction. “Train yourself to cut down distractions to improve productivity,” Spraggs says. “Turn off your phone and notifications. Otherwise someone is going to ask you something and there will be that dead air as everyone waits for you to respond.” “Many companies are trying to replicate the inperson experience by wanting to get everyone in front of a screen for multiple hours over multiple days,” Spraggs says. “But they have the opportunity to rethink and re-engineer the experience in ways that make sense in a new world, when nobody is in the same room for a meeting.”

Heart Smart RICHARD ZEKVELD The last week has been a tumultuous one in our country. When news came on Saturday that Joe Biden will be the next president, some were elated, others deflated. I think in light of these results, we would all do well to hear Paul’s words to the Ephesian church: “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:1-3). Through Paul’s words, God tells us to be “eager” to maintain unity within the church, and do so in a way that strengthens peace. Does that sound like the current church to you? I think for many, it unfortunately doesn’t. If you’re elated because of the election, Paul says you’re to walk in humility and gentleness. You’re to seek understanding

with your brothers and sisters who feel and think differently than you do. Your elation need not cause a rift between you and your church family. If you’re deflated, the Bible calls you to patience, and commands you to love your neighbor as yourself, even if you might not agree with them. Your deflation should not be the cause of broken relationships. The unity Paul talks about can only be found in the church, where we are not most foundationally Americans, but Christians. Citizens not of the United States but of the kingdom of heaven, where there is no red or blue, only our crimson stains of sin washed pure white by Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. May God bless your walk of humility, gentleness, love, peace, and unity during this time in our country. Josh Bootsma Member, Covenant Fellowship Church cfcsh.org

Support Continues for the All Stars Project - Chicago Chicago - November 4, 2020 - Hilco Global (www.hilcoglobal.com), the world’s preeminent authority on asset valuation, monetization, and advisory services, announced today that it has donated an additional $50,000 to the All Stars Project in Chicago. The donation is part of an ongoing company program called Hilco Helps, Hilco Global’s philanthropic arm that supports its corporate and employee commitment to various causes, often focused on children and education. Over the years, Hilco Helps has actively worked with several Chicagoarea organizations such as Youth Guidance, Cradles to Crayons, Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Public Library, Community Colleges of Chicago, and All Stars Project providing critical support to help those that need it most. The Hilco Global donation represents the company’s continued commitment to provide support to the under-served, at-risk youth in Chicago. Hilco Global has been a supporter of All Stars Project nationally for over five years, and specifically in Chicago, in supporting the organization through financial donations, summer internship programs, and employee participation in development workshops and programs. The All Stars Project provides important Afterschool Development programs for the young people in the South and West sides of Chicago who have been hardest hit by violence. During this unprecedented time of social distancing and virtual learning, the All Stars Project has needed to pivot and develop new pathways to remotely reach the youth of Chicago in order to keep the young people engaged and on the path to improving their futures. “Hilco Global has been and continues to be an incredible partner for the All Stars, and we are very grateful for the many ways they support young people in need across our city and region,” explained David Cherry, City Leader of the All Stars Project of Chicago. “Hilco Global’s donation in support of our increased virtual programming is helping us meet a vital need during this unprecedented time. Their commitment to the All Stars is deep and passionate; we see that first-hand whenever Jeff Hecktman and his team meets and works with youth from our programs – Hilco is truly assisting us in our work to address poverty and create new experiences and opportunities for everyone we serve.” Jeffrey B. Hecktman, CEO and Founder of Hilco Global said, “The work that the All Stars Project does for the youth of Chicago is so important and aligns with our corporate philanthropic mission to bring opportunities to at-risk students and giving them the tools necessary to succeed.” Mr. Hecktman continues, “Now more than ever, the All Stars Project needs our help. We felt it imperative that we continue to focus on giving back and supporting the phenomenal work that the All Stars Project is doing in finding new ways of engaging poverty, inequality and social justice through its Afterschool Development programs and bringing together diverse Americans to help our country to grow. ” The Hilco Global donation comes at a critical time. When the pandemic hit, The All Stars

Project needed to re-plan their programming for 2020 which included having to purchase new digital tools so that they could continue their important mission of reaching the young people it serves. The funding helped launch a brand-new four-week virtual program over the summer for 155 Development School for Youth graduates which included national workshops, watercooler conversations, oneon-one development coaching and stipends of $440 for the students involved in the program. Because the summer program was such a success, this fall the program was expanded to six weeks and includes over 250 young people as well as hundreds of All Stars Project alumni, ensuring that the organization continues its mission of transforming the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults. About Hilco Global: Hilco Global (www. hilcoglobal.com) is a privately held diversified financial services company and the world’s preeminent authority on maximizing the value of assets for both healthy and distressed companies. Hilco Global operates as a holding company comprised of over twenty specialized business units that work to help companies understand the value of their assets and then monetize that value. Hilco Global has over a 30-year track record of acting as an advisor, agent, investor and/or principal in any transaction. Hilco Global works to deliver the best possible result by aligning interests with clients and providing them strategic insight, advice, and, in many instances, the capital required to complete the deal. Hilco Global is based in Northbrook, Illinois and has 625 professionals operating on five continents. About All Stars Project: The All Stars Project is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1981 that sponsors Afterschool Development programs to help thousands of inner-city youth and their families each year. Its mission is to transform the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance in partnership with caring adults. Headquartered in New York City, ASP operates in six cities – New York City; Newark and Jersey City, NJ; Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; and San Francisco, CA. The ASP is privately-funded by thousands of individuals, foundations and corporations, including Equity Residential, EY, Hartz Mountain, Hilco Global, Hunt Consolidated, Investors Bank, MetLife, Onyx Equities, PSEG, PwC and RBC Capital Markets give underwriting support to expand the reach and impact of All Stars afterschool development programs. ASP is an action and thought leader in the field of Afterschool Development – proven practices and evidence focused on afterschool as a new strategy for engaging poverty – and is connecting with and influencing leading edge thinkers, researchers and institutions in the fields of youth and community development. Starting in March 2020, the All Stars has converted programming to digital platforms and is engaging with thousands of young people and caring adults through on-line volunteer and experience platforms.
