Where Youth Learn to Love Nature Chicago Conservation Leadership Corps crew members work on constructing a boardwalk When Chicago Conservation Leadership Corps (CCLC) students finish their six-week summer job in the Forest Preserves, they sound proud, inspired and ready for their next challenge.

“I like working here because I feel like I am making a difference in my community,” explained Ben Wolowitz, a senior who joined 50 other high school students last summer on crews that removed invasive brush and maintained trails near nature centers in forest preserves across Cook County.

The CCLC job program balances important service work with nature-based educational experiences, focused on inspiring a life-long appreciation for nature.

“I’m passionate about animals, and I think it’s important to learn about and protect where they live,” said senior Niana Smith, who also valued the team building and basic job skills training incorporated into each day. “Something I learned that will stick with me is how to work as a team and the importance of cooperation.”

During the CCLC season, participants work and learn 28 hours per week, with transportation and work clothing provided. All high school students or recent graduates aged 15 to 19 years old are eligible to earn $10 per hour to start—and up

State’s Attorney clears 1,000 cannabis convictions convictions vacated were for non-violent possession of cannabis cases Cook County State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx filed motions to vacate more than 1,000 low-level cannabis convictions. The State’s Attorney’s Office is providing this relief for Cook County residents in advance of the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act taking effect on January 1, 2020. The new law makes cannabis legal in Illinois and requires the expungement of minor marijuana offenses.

The convictions vacated were for non-violent Possession of Cannabis cases under 30g. Today’s filings, initiated by Foxx, make it as though these convictions never happened.

They will now be expunged and permanently removed from criminal records.

The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office (CCSAO) handles ap-

proximately 19,000 petitions for conviction relief each year, averaging approximately 1,500 each month. Today, the CCSAO processed more than 1,000 convictions in one court call.

“Today, we made history and took the first step in the single largest and most equitable piece of criminal justice reform Illinois has ever seen,” said Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. “As prosecutors who implemented these convictions, we must own our role in the harm they have caused – particularly in communities of color – and play our part in reversing them. Clearing records is not only a critical part of righting the wrongs of the failed war on drugs, but an intentional step to give people the chance to move forward, which benefits all of our communities.”

Despite being low-level and nonviolent in nature, these cannabis convictions can create barriers to employment, housing, and education, as applicants are often asked if

In January of 2019, State’s Attorney’s Foxx announced that her office would be pursuing conviction relief for low-level, non-violent cannabis offenses. In the months that followed, she worked closely with legislators to ensure that the new law included the broadest and most equitable conviction relief possible.

And hundreds of thousands of others have had to watch their friends and loved ones struggle because of an arrest or conviction they got for something that will be legal starting on January 1st,” said Governor J.B. Pritzker. “This is to say nothing of the fact that arrest rates and prosecution have never reflected consumption rates across racial lines.”

“We will never be able to fully remedy the depth of that unfairness and the damage it visited upon so many families. But we can govern our state with the courage to admit the mistakes of our past—and the decency to correct the record and set a better path forward,” Pritzker added.

In August, State’s Attorney Foxx announced an innovative partnership with a non-profit organization, Code for America, to process these records quickly, efficiently, and at no cost to

individuals seeking relief. With the aid of Code for America’s technology, the CCSAO can securely evaluate eligibility for record clearance by reading and interpreting conviction data in just a few minutes. This faster approach to conviction relief allows the CCSAO to focus more of its limited resources on the drivers of violent crime.

The convictions vacated will now be expunged and removed from individuals’ records as though they never happened. Once that record has been removed, the Clerk of the Circuit Court will mail or email notice to the individual’s last known address.

Cook County residents or former residents whose convictions took place in Cook County can update their address at www.cookcountyclerkofcourt.org/address.

Police donate shoes nearly 100 shoes, from super heroic footwear company, come complete with bold colors, a cool cylindrical case, and - of course - a superhero cape Dozens of District 64 elementary school students received an early gift this week from the Park Ridge Police Department, and it came with an important message: kids can be superheroes, just by the little things they do everyday to help others.

The nearly 100 shoes, from Super Heroic footwear company, come complete with bold colors, a cool cylindrical case, and - of course - a superhero cape. The police delivered them to six different District 64 schools at various times this week. The recipients were chosen at random by each of the district’s elementary schools.

“We want to make a connection to the kids and leave them with a positive message,” said

Park Ridge Police Chief Frank Kaminski. “This was a great opportunity to give them something just before their holiday break.”

The program was sponsored in part by Unity Partnership and entrepreneur Jason Mayden, owner of Super Heroic footwear company.

The mission of Super Heroic is to empower children through play and give them the confidence to achieve their dreams.

Unity Partnership is a community advocacy group working to build youth engagement, law enforcement relationships and community outreach.

“Unity Partnership and the Park Ridge Police Department believe that change begins with ordinary people and at these events it begins with the youth,” said Regina Brent, President and Founder, Unity Partnership.

District 64 Superintendent Eric Olson said having real-life heroes give them a gift sends a positive message to the students.

Dave Says: ‘Why not just budget and save for holidays?’ dear daVe, I’ve never heard you talk about store layaway programs. With Christmas coming, I wanted to ask your opinion of using layaway for buying gifts.

meg dear meg, If you know me, you probably have a good idea what’s coming next. I’m not a huge fan of layaway programs, because they’re not the answer to a problem. I mean,

Christmas comes at the same time every year. It’s not like it snuck up on you. What’s wrong with just saving up money for Christmas ahead of time?

Here’s a good rule of thumb: if you don’t have the money on hand, you can’t afford it. Now, sometimes there are instances when certain popular items are on sale, and you can take advantage of them through layaway if you don’t have enough cash at that very moment.

I don’t have a huge problem with this sort of thing, as long as it’s not habitual behavior, and you’re already saving money and living on a budget. Still, I would never, ever recommend using a layaway plan with fees attached.

It may be too late to budget for this Christmas, but I want you to make plans to start living on a written, monthly budget in January.

Make it a resolution! Give every dollar a name, on paper, before

the upcoming month begins. You can include Christmas spending in those monthly budgets, too. If you set aside a little bit each month from January until next December, you won’t have to worry about layaways or Christmas debt.

Remember, Christmas is about God and it’s about love. There are many, many ways to bless people and make them happy without overextending yourself financially!

despite an injury to one of its top players, notre dame college prep opens the season 8-2 by drake skleba for the bugle

@BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com In the Team Rose Shootout at Mount Carmel on Sunday afternoon, Notre Dame, met and overcame a huge challenge in its match-up with Chicago Bogan.

Bogan entered Sunday’s game, undefeated and ranked No. 2 in Illinois, in MaxPreps’ Illinois boys state basketball rankings.

Missing from the Dons’ starting lineup for the third consecutive game was standout junior guard, Anthony Sayles.

Sayles, has been nursing a sore knee and is expected to return to the lineup this week.

Rallying from a 46-38 fourth quarter deficit, behind junior forward Troy D’Amico (18 points, five rebounds, two steals), the game was tied at 56-56, with three ticks remaining on the Mount Carmel scoreboard clock.

At the free-throw stripe, stood Evanston-transfer, 6-foot, 5-inch Louis Lesmond (16 points, six rebounds).

Lesmond calmly sank both free-

throws and after a desperation shot misfired, Bogan (9-1) was no longer undefeated as the Dons handed then it the 58-26 defeat.

“There was a lot of pressure in that spot,” Lesmond said. “I just focused out all the noise and felt like I was back at our gym and made both of the game-winning free throws. I played well but the whole team played well. We all hit some big shots.”

The stars were many for the Dons, but none shined brighter than D’Amico.

After burying three long-range three pointers in the first half, D’Amico had been taken out of the game by the Bengal defense.

Burying seven of their 11 threepoint shots in the first half, the Dons took a 33-26 lead into their halftime locker room.

With 7:18 remaining, in the game and Bogan up 46-38, D’Amico returned.

An inside D’Amico bucket brought the Dons within 46-40.

With 5:30 remaining, D’Amico would steal and score and the Dons were within 48-45.

Notre Dame’s 6-5 Jason Bergstrom’s (14 points, four 3’s,six rebounds) fourth three pointer of the game deadlocked the game at 48.

“Our offense really worked well for me, getting me a number of wide open looks,” Bergstrom said.

“I was able to knock my shots down, today. Great win for us over a great team. This is the closest team I have ever played for. We really all help each other out.”

Redemption for Lesmond followed and the 8-2 Dons went back to Niles with the huge victory “Bogan is a great club. They really pressured us and other than the third quarter, I felt we did a great job handling their pressure,” D’Amico said. “We all took our turns at hitting big shots and that’s
