LUVO INC. (USA) RECALLS POULTRY PRODUCTS
Luvo Inc. (USA), a Blaine, Wash. establishment, is recalling approximately 4,805 pounds of poultry products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced recently. The products are mislabeled as Chicken Chile Verde that contain milk and soy, but contain Turkey Meatloaf, which has additional allergens, eggs and fish (anchovies), that are not declared on the product label. The problem was discovered after the firm received consumer complaints of the wrong meal inside the retail boxes. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. When available, the retail distribution list will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the Digital Community Manager Oli Maughan, Luvo, Inc., at (844) 880-5866. Consumers with food safety questions can “Ask Karen,” the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov.
LAW & POLITICS
Religious garb discrimination ban becomes law
A new non-discrimination measure became law recently after State Senator Jacqueline Collins and State Rep. Theresa Mah joined Muslim and Arab-American advocates to craft legislation making it a civil rights violation for an employer to impose any condition that requires a person to forego any sincerely held religious practice or attire. Senate Bill 1697, sponsored by Collins, passed the General Assembly in June.

ndependent Journalist Sarah Lazare and Community Activist Debbie Southorn sued the Chicago Police Department (CPD) on Aug. 7, after CPD reportedly failed to send them complete records of Chicago SWAT deployments responding to mental health crises. Lazare filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on April 15, 2017 for “all formal and informal critiques and incident logs for SWAT incidents from Jan 1, 2009 to December 31, 2013,” according to a Cook County Circuit Court document. But after multiple FOIA requests, CPD reportedly only sent some of the SWAT responsive records and reportedly failed to include Hostage Barricade Terrorist (HBT) logs from 2009-2012. Lazare explained that the complete records of SWAT logs are important because SWAT response to mental health crises and the complete logs can help determine how frequently SWAT responds to mental health crises. Since 2012, half of Chicago’s 12 mental health clinics have closed and the remaining six have been privatized, according to a Loevy & Loevy Attorneys at Law press release. Lazare and Southorn wrote in an article published by The Intercept, “Since 2013, Chicago police have deployed SWAT teams at least 38 times to respond to mental health incidents and suicide attempts,” as revealed by records produced in response to a previous FOIA request. Some of the recent civilian killings by Chicago’s police included Laquan McDonald, who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Other killings included Northern Illinois University (NIU) student Quintonio LeGrier, who was involuntarily admitted into a psychiatric hospital, and Michelle Robey, who was diagnosed with bipolar schizoaffective disorder, according to attorneys at Loevy & Loevy. “People are dying and people are seeing they’re quality of life eroding as a result,” Lazare said. “Now, you have people caught in the cross care of cuts and facing violence by law enforcement.” Lazare continued to say that Chicago needs to build a society

that doesn’t respond to public health problems with punishment and oppression, but instead with mutual aid to provide everyone’s needs. “I think this comes down to what type of society do we want to live in,” she asked? “Do we want to live in a society where we provide for the health care needs of all people, especially ones who are marginalized, vulnerable and oppressed? Or do we want a society that is increasingly becoming brutally heavy handed in police responses to problems that are public health problems?” Attorney Joshua Burday along with Loevy & Loevy attorneys, said they are waiting for the city of Chicago to confirm the official court date. “The public has the right to know how police force is being used and how it’s responding to mental health incidents,” said Burday. Lori Lightfoot, president of the Chicago Police Board, declined to comment on the pending lawsuit. Lazare said she plans to keep the focus on the SWAT deployment and mental health crises in the public’s view in order to help local community organizations receive justice from the Chicago Police Department.

A coalition of progressive organizations held a vigil on Aug. 13, 2017 at the Federal Plaza and stood in solidarity with counter protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia, a democratic based city. Mrinalini Chakraborty, who is the national head of field operations for the Women’s March Network, said the peaceful vigil was called to action within hours after witnessing white nationalists and hate groups rally at the University of Virginia on Aug. 11, which led to one death and 19 injured counter protestors from a car-ramming incident the following day. According to CNN, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said U.S. Attorney Rick Mountcastle is now leading a civil rights investigation on the car crash. Chakraborty said after hearing about the tragedies in Charlottesville, it was important for her to organize a diverse group of speakers to share their stance on racism and how their organizations are combating it every day. “Communities of color have been dealing and fighting with these issues for centuries,” she said. “It was really important in that moment and time that we drew those connections so that people knew that a lot of folks were outraged for the first time in their lives.” Some of the organizations that were included in the vigil were Black Lives Matter, Indivisible Illinois, Indivisible Chicago, Friends Who March, Women Of Faith, Suburban Unity Alliance and Planned Parenthood of Illinois. Chakraborty said it was important for everyone to be in community together and be a living memorial for car-victim Heather Heyer and the rest
of the 19-injured counter protests in Charlottesville. “We had a moment of silence where folks raised their flowers in the air and recommitted to continue to fight the struggle to have an America that truly welcomes all of us, not just some of us,” she said. “We have to stamp out white supremacy where it stands because this is not acceptable.” Chakraborty continued to say that she is in shock to know that racism still exists in 2017 and says the Trump administration has, “lit the fire,” as it relates to the current racial hatred in the country. “It’s not like silent racism, but it’s like in your face racial hatred,” she stated. “I think these problems have always existed and the Nazis and white supremacists were always hiding in the woodworks.” Chakraborty added, “This administration has emboldened [them] and given [them] permission so these things can happen in the open and these people have no fear of consequences.” In terms of going forward, Chakraborty said organizations like Women’s March Network and Black Lives Matter must continue to protest and fight against this divisive rhetoric even if it means losing family and friends. “It’s not good enough to say I am not a racist, but you have to actively organize as an anti-racist,” she said. “You might lose some friends, but in this moment in history, we have to decide whether or not, we’re willing to lose stuff and sacrifice some things we cherish. People are coming to the realization that they have to be active in this continuing struggle that we are all in.”

More than 60 Percent of CPS Students Outscore National Peers in Reading Mayor Emanuel, CPS CEO Forrest Claypool and CPS Chief Education Officer Dr. Janice K. Jackson recently announced that more Chicago elementary students than ever before are meeting or exceeding standards for math and reading. For the fifth year in a row, CPS students have outscored national peers in both subjects. More than 95 percent of students met or exceeded national averages in both reading and math. These schools included Lane Technical College Prep High School, Whitney M. Young Magnet High School, Annie Keller Regional Gifted Center, Skinner North Classical School, Decatur Classical Elementary School, James E. McDade Classical School, William Howard Taft High School, Kenwood Academy High School and Edison Regional Gifted Center. “For the fifth year in a row, CPS students are meeting or beating the national average in both reading and math,” said Mayor Emanuel. “Record setting achievements like NWEA results are proof that when we raise the bar for Chicago’s students, they take pride in meeting and beating our expectations.” In 2017, 60.4 percent of students met or exceeded national averages for reading growth, and 56.7 percent of students met or exceeded averages for math growth. Any rate above 50 percent exceeds the national average for growth and signifies the substantial progress CPS students continue to make. “Chicago students have outscored their national peers for five years in a row, and we’re building on that momentum to make sure we are preparing every CPS student for success, “said CPS Chief Education Officer Jackson. “Chicago students are breaking down barriers, changing mindsets and redefining what our students can accomplish when given the opportunity and support to succeed.”
Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs Hosts Veterans and Gold Star Family Day at the Illinois State Fair The Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs (IDVA) hosted a variety of activities for Veterans and their families during Veterans and Gold Star Family Day on Sunday, August 13, at the Illinois State Fair. Veterans and their families received complimentary admission. “Our State Fair committee works hard for many months to prepare for this wonderful Day at the Illinois State Fair,” said IDVA Director Erica Jeffries. “They provide Veterans and their families with an opportunity to have a great day at the Fair, be recognized for serving our country and to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.” The Day began with a Gold Star Family Memorial Service at 9:30 am on the Lincoln Stage. “This service focuses on the sacrifice of the families left behind, and reminds all of us that freedom is not free. It comes at a very precious price,” said IDVA Director Jeffries. A Kids Corner with a bounce house, crafts, face painting and balloon animals were available in the morning and afternoon for the Veteran’s children. And a JROTC Exhibition Drill Team Competition was held on the street in front of the Lincoln Stage. JROTC teams were judged in an armed and unarmed competition. Governor Rauner and IDVA Director Jeffries presented awards to Mr. George Pempek, of Springfield as the Illinois Veterans’ Patriotic Volunteer of the Year and to Staab Funeral Home as the Illinois Veterans’ Business of the Year. “These awards highlight the wonderful work being done for our veterans,” IDVA Director Erica Jeffries said. “The Veteran Patriotic award honors the work of an Illinois Veteran whose contributions in Service to the Veteran community and their local communities are truly above and beyond. The Illinois Veterans’ Business Appreciation Award highlights and honors the work of any business, organization or a non-profit that has significantly helped veterans, and whose contributions to those who have served our country are documented and deserve to be recognized.”
Law helps eliminate redundant government services OAK BROOK- Illinois will now have a useful tool to start consolidating 6,963 units of governments, based on a bipartisan government consolidation measure, Senate Bill 3 that will empower government entities throughout the state to consolidate units of local government Villa Park Democrat Tom Cullerton passed Senate Bill 494 in 2013, which created the DuPage County government consolidation model used in Senate Bill 3. He was later able to expand this model to McHenry and Lake counties, and Senate Bill 3 will expand the same powers to counties throughout Illinois. Senate Bill 3 was signed into law recently. “We ran a tight ship for taxpayers when I was Villa Park Village President. I’m taking the lessons I learned to the state level,” Cullerton said. “The goal here is to reduce property taxes, save vital taxpayer dollars and make sure government is working for the people. Senate Bill 3 does just that.” Senate Bill 3 will go into effect January 1, 2018. County Board Chairman Dan Cronin and Cullerton worked together to create the bipartisan government consolidation model that can be easily adapted to work throughout the state. Counties and government entities based on their needs, can consolidate redundant and obsolete forms of government. “This legislation allows local communities and their elected officials to make decisions about the size, scope and cost of their own local government,” Cronin said. “Most importantly, it will change the culture and foster innovation.” DuPage County’s successful government consolidation model is expected to save taxpayers more than $100 million over the next 20 years. The savings allow for lower property tax rates and provide residents with necessary services “Cutting bloated bureaucracy and redundant forms of government means lower property tax bills for Illinois residents,” Cullerton said. “This new law gives Illinois taxpayers a voice in eliminating redundant and ineffective units of government.” Cullerton says the next step in consolidating government waste is to eliminate the office of the lieutenant governor. This move would save the state $1.6 million annually which Cullerton believes would help pay for social services such as the DuPage County Meals on
Wheels program and other similar programs throughout the state. Since Cullerton has been in office, he has supported eliminating the position under both a republican and democratic governor. He believes the money would be better spent and services can be better executed without duplicate forms of government. “We are in the middle of tough times,” Cullerton said. “It is hypocritical to continue to ask local governments to cut and eliminate units of government when the state government isn’t willing to do the same.”
Under the current administration, Illinois taxpayers are paying for two deputy governors and a lieutenant governor. Despite the fact Cullerton’s plan, was endorsed by editorial boards throughout the state, he was unable to receive bipartisan support on his measure. Senate Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 29 did not receive a single republican vote. Cullerton is the Senate sponsor of HJRCA6 and plans to advance the legislation once Representative David McSweeney (R-Barrington Hills) passes the measure in the House.

Looking for an alternative to college? Pursue a well-paying trade career instead Big Advice For The Smallest Businesses (NAPSI)—While large enterprises may make the most headlines, it’s often the country’s smallest businesses that are providing jobs, fueling innovation and growing the economy. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, 62 percent of all U.S. businesses are microbusinesses, or businesses with fewer than 10 employees. These businesses also account for 75.3 percent of all private-sector employers. These small but mighty companies often face a unique set of challenges. With fewer employees and resources, owners of microbusinesses often find themselves juggling all aspects of the business, including areas where they may not have expertise or experience in managing, while often competing against larger, more established enterprises. To shine a spotlight on these inspirational entrepreneurs, Microsoft recently recognized 10 microbusinesses that are making the biggest impact. The full list includes Philip and Melissa Niu, Parachut; Jason and Sarah Kenworthy, Pink Helmet Posse; Noah Elias, Noah Fine Art; Dr. Agnes Scoville, Scoville & Company (Pacidose); August Graube, Fort Boards; Mikaila Ulmer, Me & the Bees; Jessica Matthews, Uncharted Play; Dave Ackerman, Tobacco MotorWear; Megan and Marshall Dostal, Further; and Kalika Yap, Citrus Studios. These companies demonstrate what is possible with an idea and the determination to bring it to fruition. Whether you’re an already-established small business or a future entrepreneur, below are some best practices cultivated from this standout group of microbusinesses: • Inspiration can be found anywhere. From bee stings to childhood hobbies, inspiration for these business owners came from a wide range of places. Even if you don’t consider yourself a creative person, being open to unexpected ideas and thinking outside the box are keys to discovering a new business, product or service idea. • Never stop listening and learning. The businesses with the most loyal customers are the ones focused on continuous listening and learning. Whether in person or via software and social media, listening to your audience helps build trust and keeps them coming back. Beyond customer service, big data is another way to access a wealth of knowledge about your audience and business trends. Big data software like Microsoft Azure is also more affordable and easier to use than ever, allowing even the smallest businesses to benefit from enterprise-grade analytics. • Ask for help. Launching a business can be intimidating, especially if you have little or no experience in all the areas necessary for your business to function, such as accounting or HR. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Reaching out to other small businesses in your area, finding a mentor or joining an online community can help you find the answers you need. • Don’t let anything hold you back. From preschool kids to military veterans, the featured microbusiness owners are proof that success can be found at any age and at any stage of life. Time and time again, entrepreneurs shared that the most important thing to do is stop second-guessing yourself and just get started. • Automate day-to-day tasks. Technology, such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM, can help you work smarter and more efficiently. Automating your business processes lets you and your employees focus less on the day-to-day tasks so you can focus your time and energy on more important responsibilities.

(BPT) - Do you really have to shell out $100,000 over four years (the average cost of a college degree, according to the National Center for Education Statistics) in order to get a job that will pay enough to support you and your family throughout your lifetime? Are quality paying job opportunities solely confined to careers that require years of study and potential student loan debt? A coalition of building and construction industry organizations, companies and celebrities is answering those questions with a resounding “no.” “We’ve heard a lot about the shortage of skilled STEM and health care workers, and a lot less about the looming shortfall of skilled trade workers,” says Jeannette Long, vice president of marketing communications for LIXIL Americas, which is comprised of kitchen and bath brands American Standard, DXV, and GROHE. American Standard is a founding sponsor of the This Old House Generation Next program to promote skilled trade careers. “Yet Bureau of Labor Statistics data tells us that millions of trade industry jobs - such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters -will go unfilled this year because there simply aren’t enough skilled workers to fill them. These jobs offer a good, steady income, and learning how to do them doesn’t require candidates to go into thousands of dollars of debt.” Another initiative promoting skilled trade jobs is the Mike Rowe WORKS Foundation, run by none other than the popular host of “Dirty Jobs” on
the Discovery Channel. This organization sponsors scholarships to help people learn the skills they need for a variety of trade occupations. Careers in the skilled labor trades offer many advantages, including the ability to enter a profession quickly, spend less money on educational costs, and the opportunity to turn a talent or interest into a paying career, in a field where demand is strong. Here are six trade jobs that will experience significant growth over the next several years, according to the BLS’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, the median pay for each and educational requirements: * Plumbers - With 12 percent growth anticipated, demand for plumbers will grow faster than average. The median salary for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters is around $51,000 per year. Plumbing work requires a high school diploma and an apprenticeship. * Bricklayers - By 2024, demand for bricklayers will grow much faster than average, at a 15 percent projected increase rate. A high school diploma or equivalent is required, with math, mechanical drawing and vocational education considered helpful, the BLS says. You can also take basic masonry programs through a technical school, many of which also offer apprenticeship programs. The median annual salary is just over $41,000. * Carpenters - The number of available carpentry jobs will rise 6 percent between now and 2024. With a median pay of nearly $44,000 per year, carpentry work requires a high school diploma and on-the-job training through an
apprenticeship. * Insulation installers - Another buildingrelated trade expected to grow faster than national averages, insulation workers install and replace insulation materials that help homes and buildings maintain their temperatures and improve energy efficiency. The median salary of about $39,000 per year requires a high school diploma and on-the-job training. * Electricians - A high school diploma, apprenticeship and on-the-job training can gain you access to a career as an electrician. Demand for electricians is expected to grow 14 percent over the next seven years, much faster than the average of all other careers. The median annual salary is nearly $53,000. * Line workers - Line workers install or repair electrical power and telecommunications systems. Growth in the industry is expected to be average, but the jobs pay well with a median annual salary of more than $62,000. To become a line worker, you need a high school degree or equivalent, an apprenticeship and long-term on-the-job training. “We need a new generation of talented women and men who aspire to viable trade professions,” Long says. “Ultimately, these generations of professionals hold great power to shape our future, as they create and protect the products and systems that keep our homes and communities safe, healthy, comfortable and growing.” To learn more about Generation Next, visit www. thisoldhouse.com.

WEEKLY INSPIRATIONS FROM REV. DR. DERRICK B. WELLS Relationships are an important part of life, and truly enrich our experiences in living. Each of us is wired to enjoy healthy, productive, reaffirming relationships. We all benefit from human contact, personal touch, and emotional connection. Our interactions with others allow us opportunity to find joy in sharing one another’s growth. Yet not all relationships are created equally, and unfortunately, in the absence of healthy relationships, we are too often willing to settle for the unhealthy ones. Where healthy relationships help us feel fulfilled, unhealthy relationships have the potential to rob us of the joy, peace, and unity that comes from walking with another. In order to get the most of your relationships, it really helps to be selfaware and self-reflective. Both tools are critical when it comes to evaluating your relationships. Self-awareness and selfreflection enables us to examine the nature of our relationships and potentially better understand with whom we are involved. Self-awareness is activated through one’s mindset of love, acceptance, and appreciation for self. It’s been suggested that each of us has four different types of people in our lives: those who add to us, those who subtract from us, those who divide us, and those who multiply us. Simply put, those who add to us help us do more than the sum of what we could do alone. Those who subtract from us leave us with less than we had before the interaction. Those who divide us leave us fragmented with a sense of separation. Those who multiply us help us expand exponentially. You may be able to build meaningful relationships with the subtracters and dividers, just remember, changing them is not your responsibility.

(BPT) - As kids and teens head back to school, working parents are also preparing for “back to after school.” Despite the fact that 60 percent of parents report having flexible work hours that allow them to take care of their children once the school day ends, a survey from Boys & Girls Clubs of America shows 75 percent still find that after-school time causes as much or more stress than in-school time. When it comes to after-school programs and resources, the study also found parents’ top priorities are providing a safe place for their children, academic mentoring and support, as well as sports and fitness programs. As an expert in youth development that specializes in these key areas, Boys & Girls Clubs of America offers these tips to help parents take the stress out of transitioning back to after school.
Safety first
Each day 11 million children and teens leave school with no place to go, increasing their risk of being unsupervised, unguided and unsafe in communities across the country, according to a 2014 Afterschool Alliance study. And, since juvenile crime escalates during the hours of 3-7 p.m. according to the U.S. Department of Justice, parents have cause for concern about how their children spend their time during these critical hours. Particularly for working parents who cannot be home with their children when the school day ends, taking advantage of affordable, accessible after-
school programs - ideally staffed by trained, trustworthy adult leaders - alleviates stress by providing peace of mind that their kids are safe, supervised and on a path to success.
Homework help
28th Annual
#RESPECT Labor Day Weekend Washington Park
Parents perceive the biggest challenges their children face when starting a new school year are preparing for the needs of the next grade level and keeping up with homework. According to Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s survey, nearly 60 percent of parents find it difficult to ensure their children are on a path to a successful school year. By making a plan for how and when to tackle homework each day and sticking to it, parents and kids can make the most of after-school time. Whether it’s at home with support from a parent or guardian, at a tutoring facility or at a community organization with academic programming such as a local Boys & Girls Club, setting aside a specific time and place for homework will avoid headaches for parents and children alike.
Explore and inspire
After spending a full day in school, kids and teens often benefit from tapping into their creative side after class lets out. Make time for them to explore art, music, dance and STEM programs to not only relieve stress but also to express themselves, explore new areas of interest and ignite potential passions that may last a lifetime.

INTRODUCING OUR
HOMEBUYER GRANT PROGRAM
We want to help make your dream of homeownership a reality. If the down payment is the only thing standing between you and your own home, we may have a tool for you. We’ve partnered with local nonprofits to offer the Homebuyer Grant Program to help first-time homebuyers overcome the challenge of covering a down payment. This program can offer up to $2,000 to qualifying borrowers purchasing a home as their primary residence and can be paired with federal, state, and local grants or loans. If purchasing a home seems out of reach because of the down payment, we’ve got a solution for you.
TO QUALIFY, HOMEBUYERS MUST: • Be applying for your first mortgage • Have an annual household income at or below 80 percent of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s median income of the county in which the property is located, adjusted for household size • Contribute at least $1,000 from personal funds toward the purchase of your home • Complete an approved homebuyer counseling program • Be applying for a minimum five-year loan term and, on adjustable rate mortgages, an initial interest rate lock period of five years minimum
