Documentary Captures the Life of Harold Washington

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

The Mayor Harold Washington Legacy Committee (MHWLC), which is a local nonprofit dedicated to preserving Mayor Washington’s memory and legacy, hosted an event where an historic documentary based on the life and legacy of Harold Washington was shown. Washington who became the first African American Mayor of Chicago in 1983, died on November 25, 1987.

The screening of the film was held recently in the Banquet Hall of the Apostolic Church of God, located on 6320 South Dorchester Avenue.

Jose Childs, who is the president of MHWLC, said people still love the former mayor adding, most people know Washington as the mayor of Chicago, but forget he contributed to Illinois and Chicago in several other ways. “Harold was a state representative, a state senator, a congressman and then he became mayor,” she said. “He left a tremendous legacy in each place of Springfield, [Washington] D.C. and Chicago.”

While serving in the Illinois House of Representatives, the former mayor introduced a bill aimed at making Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday a state holiday. The bill was tabled and later vetoed, but with the help of Cecil Partee in

Harold Washington

the Senate, Washington was able to have the bill enacted and signed by the governor in 1973.

Washington’s major congressional accomplishment involved legislation to extend the Voting Rights Act, legislation that opponents had argued was only necessary in an emergency.

Reflecting back on the former mayor’s accomplishments, Child’s said Washington was given the assignment to go across the country to promote the extension of the Voting Rights Act and ultimately President Reagan signed the extension. She said she believed that it was extremely important for young, African Americans to see the film because of its uplifting and motivating message.

Washington’s legacy continues to live on through the Harold Washington Cultural Center, Harold Washington Library, Harold Washington College and Harold Washington Park.

BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FALLS FOR THE WRONG REASONS

Job Growth Slows, Black Workers Exit Labor Market in May

By Freddie Allen (NNPA Newswire Managing Editor)

Black workers continued to experience lackluster job growth under the Trump Administration, according to the latest jobs report from the Labor Department. Although, the share of Black workers in the population that held jobs (employment-population ratio or E-POP), ticked up from 57.6 percent in April to 57.7 percent in May and the unemployment rate decreased from 7.9 percent to 7.5 percent, the latest numbers also indicated that some Black workers exited the labor market.

The 7.5 percent Black unemployment rate is more than double the jobless rate of White workers, a stubborn disparity that has existed for decades.

Even though the jobless rate for White workers also decreased last month, it was likely because they stopped looking for work, too. In fact, all three key labor market indicators (unemployment rate, labor force participation rate and employment-population ratio) declined for White workers in May. Both White and Black working men over 20 years-old lost ground in the labor market last month. So did White women, who not only left the labor market, but were also employed at lower rates in May than the previous month.

Meanwhile, Black women entered the labor market and found jobs at higher rates in May compared to April. The labor force participation rate for Black women increased from 62.7

percent April to 62.9 percent in May. The employment-population ratio also increased from 58.4 percent in April to 58.6 percent in May. In a blog about the labor market for the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), researchers noted that job growth has slowed.

“Adding in May’s 138,000 net new jobs, monthly job growth averaged 162,000 so far in 2017, and just 121,000 over the last three months, down from an average monthly gain of 187,000 jobs in 2016,” the post said. “While employment growth would be expected to slow as the economy approaches genuine full employment, other indicators suggest we are not that close to full employment yet, so this explanation seems insufficient.”

Although the national unemployment rate was 4.3 percent in May, the lowest in 16 years, the EPI post said that the labor force participation rate had been much higher in the past.

“Today, there are lots of would-be workers on the sidelines not being counted, who would take a job if offered one,” the post said. “And, the drop in the unemployment rate in the past month is more of a sign of people giving up on finding a job than more people becoming employed.”

The EPI post said that the American economy should not only be adding jobs, but also experiencing stronger wage growth.

Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), recently joined Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) to introduce H.R. 15, the “Raise the Wage Act

of 2017.”

In a statement about the bill, Scott said that it’s been ten long years since we last raised the minimum wage.

“While 29 states have taken action to raise their wages above the federal minimum since then, minimum wage workers in 21 states are still paid $7.25 an hour. This leaves a full-time, year-round worker with a dependent child living below the federal poverty threshold,” said Scott. “Today’s low-wage workers earn less per hour, adjusted for inflation, than their counterparts did 50 years ago, but productivity has nearly doubled over that same time period. That is unacceptable.”

Scott said that the “Raise the Wage Act of 2017” provides an important contrast between the Democrats’ agenda for working families and the agenda of President Trump and Congressional Republicans.

“President Trump and the [Republican] majority have used the 115th Congress and the beginning of the Trump Administration to roll back safety and health protections, to attempt to take away health care from 23 million Americans, to undermine civil rights enforcement, and to advance legislation that would deny workers their hard-earned overtime pay,” said Scott. “By passing the ‘Raise the Wage Act,’ we can ensure that no one who works hard and plays by the rules has to live in poverty.”

Scott continued: “Passing the ‘Raise the Wage Act’ is the right thing to do. It’s the fair thing to do. And it’s long overdue.”

National family safety program makes stop in Chicago

For over a decade the Keeping Kids Safe Project has been touring the country helping communities connect with families to promote safety awareness and encourage a proactive approach to child safety. While providing a free digital fingerprinting service to families this program also focuses on the great resources available within the local community. In order to keep this event free for families all over the country the Project relies on committed sponsors like Mike Anderson Chevrolet “It is wonderful to have dedicated community partners to work with, the impact they are making is so powerful” says National Director Lytishya Borglum. These records along with other safety information are sent directly home with parents for safekeeping, there are no records that are data-based or maintained.

This allows families to be as prepared as possible if an emergency arises while protecting their children’s privacy.

This exciting event will feature “The Stu Show, Be Kind, Be Positive and Read” by humorist and songwriter Stuart Jacobson. He will be performing original, fun and motivating songs at 1pm. Also in attendance will be the Chicago police, fire department, face painting from Kids Fantasy Gala and much more. All activities are free for families including the fingerprinting and other fun activities. The event will be on Saturday, August 5th from 10am until 4pm at Mike Anderson Chevrolet, located at 5333 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago “Our goal is to encourage regular conversations within families about how they can be safer, that way if a situation does arise they can have more of a prepared reaction rather than a panicked reaction,” says Borglum, a mom of five, herself . “It’s a fun event and a great way for parents to approach what can be a difficult topic to discuss.”

Families are encouraged to get their child’s record updated annually.

Most activities will be indoors and the event is rain or shine.

Mulroe plan for continuing education for probation officers advances to governor’s desk

A legislation sponsored by State Senator John G. Mulroe (D-Chicago) that requires standards for continuing education of probation officers and supervisors to be established was sent to the governor’s desk on June 13, 2017. Senate Bill 1343 also requires the Division of Probation Services to broaden access to available training programs.

Senate Bill 1343 passed both chambers without opposition.

“Probation officers deal with a variety of situations that are constantly evolving,” Mulroe said. “By requiring the Division of Probation Services to establish continuing education standards for probation officers and supervisors, the officers will be better prepared to deal with the wide range of issues they encounter on the job. I encourage the governor to swiftly sign this bill into law,” Mulroe said in a released statement.

Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs Awards Harry Stubbs, Jr. with the Combat Action Badge Purple Heart Recipient Harry Stubbs, Jr. received the long overdue Combat Action Badge on June 13, 2017, by the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs at the Veterans Center in Forest Park, IL. The Combat Action Badge is a military badge worn by U.S. Army soldiers. Stubbs is a Purple Heart Recipient who served in the U.S. Army for 3 years before being medically discharged for injuries incurred in combat on November 8, 2005. He was a 19K Cavalry Scout and in the support role as an 11B combat infantry. On the day his convoy hit an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) he was the driver of the up-armored vehicle. His vehicle was severely damaged and he was unconscious and pulled out of the vehicle. While waiting for a helicopter to take him to medical care, he fought to maintain consciousness and exchanged fire with the enemy. It was an upward battle during his recovery, almost losing his foot due to gangrene and shrapnel. He sustained laceration to his right ankle and shrapnel to his left foot. Since he transitioned into civilian life, he and his Service Dog, Wesley, speak to different groups on behalf of ‘War dogs Making It Home’, located in Chicago and where he received his service dog, Wesley.

FDA Approves 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve for Patients

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved an expanded indication for the Sapien 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) for patients with symptomatic heart disease due to failure of a previously placed bioprosthetic aortic or mitral valve whose risk of death or severe complications from repeat surgery is high or greater.

“For the first time, a regulatory agency is approving a transcatheter heart valve as a valve-in-valve treatment when bioprosthetic mitral or aortic valves

fail in patients who are at high or greater risk of complications from repeat surgery,” said Bram Zuckerman, M.D., director of the division of cardiovascular devices at the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. “This new approval offers U.S. patients with failing surgical bioprosthetic aortic or mitral valves a less-invasive treatment option.”

LAW & POLITICS

Historic Sentencing for Gang Member who Killed Transgender Woman

A federal prosecution under a 2009 hate crime law resulted in a lengthy prison sentence last month for a Mississippi gang member who killed a 17-year-old transgender woman—and set an important precedent that could benefit other transgender victims.

A judge sentenced Joshua Vallum to 49 years in federal prison under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009. The prison term is in addition to the life sentence he received in Mississippi for killing 17-year-old Mercedes Williamson in 2015. Vallum admitted that he killed Williamson because she was transgender.

The Shepard-Byrd Act gives the FBI authority to investigate violent hate crimes, including violence directed at the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community, and enables the prosecution of such crimes at the federal level. The act has been successfully applied to other hate crimes, but this is the first time it has been used for a transgender victim.

1 Commitment Made for Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exelon President and CEO Chris Crane pledged to share best practices for creating a diverse and inclusive workplace with some of the world’s leading companies by joining the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ initiative. More than 150 CEOs have signed on to the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion. By signing on to this commitment, CEOs are pledging to take action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected, where employees feel encouraged to discuss diversity and inclusion, and where actions can be shared across organizations via a unified hub, CEOAction.com.

“At Exelon, we know having a diverse and inclusive workplace makes us a better company,” said Crane. “While there is still much to do, this pledge acknowledges our strong resolve to lead the industry in this important work.”

The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is led by a steering committee of CEOs and leaders from Accenture, BCG, Deloitte US, The Executive Leadership Council, EY, General Atlantic, KPMG, New York Life, P&G and PwC. The coalition represents more than 50 industries, all 50 of the United States and millions of employees globally. Each signatory has committed to taking the following steps to increase diversity and foster inclusion within their respective

organizations and the larger business community: Continue to cultivate workplaces that support open dialogue on complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations about diversity and inclusion:Companies will create and maintain environments, platforms, and forums where their employees feel comfortable reaching out to their colleagues to gain greater awareness of each other’s experiences and perspectives.

Implement and expand unconscious bias education: Companies commit to rolling out or expanding unconscious bias education. By helping employees recognize and minimize any potential blind spots, companies can better facilitate more open and honest conversations.

Share best known—and unsuccessful—actions:Companies commit to working together to evolve existing diversity strategies by sharing successes and challenges with one another. This will include creating accountability systems within their companies to track their progress and share regular updates.

“We are living in a world of complex divisions and tensions that can have a significant impact on our work environment. Yet, it’s often the case that when we walk into our workplace – where we spend the majority of our time – we don’t openly address these topics,” said Tim Ryan, U.S. Chairman and Senior Partner of PwC and chair of the

steering committee for the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™.

“CEOs across the country understand this isn’t a competitive issue, but a societal issue, and together we can raise the bar for the entire business community. By sharing best known actions and programs, we are helping to create a more inclusive environment that will encourage all of us to bring our greatest talents, perspectives, and experiences to the workplace.”

As part of the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ launch, Exelon has shared its best practices in the areas of retention of women and people of color and building partnerships with diverse suppliers – in the last year alone, the company spent close to $2 billion with minority and women-owned business, up 42% over the prior year. In addition to existing programing related to building a diverse and inclusive culture, the company is planning employee sessions focused on unconscious bias and facilitating productive dialogues on complex issues.

Exelon’s efforts to hire, retain and promote employees from a variety of backgrounds secured the company a spot on this year’s “Top 50 Companies for Diversity,” the national recognition from DiversityInc.

Feeling Safe During Fireworks How to help manage your dog’s noise aversion

(Family Features) The boom of fireworks or the crash of thunder may create a wave of excitement for you. However, for many dogs, these loud noises trigger fear and anxiety similar to a panic attack.

This anxiety is a progressive medical condition called canine noise aversion. You might know it as noise phobia or noise anxiety. At least 1 in 3 dogs suffer from noise aversion, which can leave dog owners and their families feeling helpless during summer fireworks celebrations and rolls of thunder.

A scary struggle

Macie Buell watched her 14-year-old Weimaraner mix, Harley, struggle with noise aversion.

Fireworks and thunder are particularly stressful for the whole family due to Harley’s condition.

“Harley is my baby, and I hate to see her in any discomfort,” Buell said. “She pants, shakes, tries to hide under furniture or takes cover in the bathtub when she hears thunder or fireworks.”

Harley’s reaction to loud noises is typical of a dog with noise aversion. Other symptoms may include vocalizing fear by barking or whining, seeking extra attention from her owner, destroying furniture or even attempting to escape from home.

Over the years, Buell discussed Harley’s reaction to fireworks and thunder with her veterinarian, Dr. Peter Eeg of Poolesville Veterinary Clinic in Poolesville, Maryland.

“We tried behavior therapy, naturopathic therapies and medications, but nothing helped Harley’s fight-or-flight response to noise,” Dr. Eeg said.

A simple solution

As soon as SILEO® (dexmedetomidine oromucosal gel) – the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administrationapproved treatment for canine noise aversion – became available, Dr. Eeg recommended this innovative at-home treatment for Harley. Dr. Eeg also used SILEO to treat two of his dogs that suffer from noise aversion

triggered by thunder.

“Harley responded exceptionally well to treatment with SILEO,” Dr. Eeg said. “It also completely resolved my own dogs’ anxiety and fear of loud thunder.”

Clinically proven to be safe and effective without other treatments or training, SILEO is a practical, fast-acting, at-home treatment for noise aversion. It begins working in about 30 minutes to one hour and provides relief for up to 2-3 hours. Your veterinarian should show you how to administer SILEO when it isT:10.75” prescribed.

“We have lots of thunder, fireworks and construction in the neighborhood each summer,” Buell said. “The first time I gave Harley SILEO, she napped through the thunder. It was such a relief to our family to see her relaxed and happy.”

Talk with your veterinarian It’s important to discuss noise aversion with your veterinarian to see whether SILEO is right for your dog. To learn more, visit sileodogus.com and complete the “Triggers and Behaviors” checklist to create a free custom report and help start the conversation with your veterinarian.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Do not use SILEO in dogs with severe cardiovascular disease, respiratory, liver or kidney diseases, or in conditions of shock, severe debilitation, or stress due to extreme heat, cold or fatigue or in dogs hypersensitive to dexmedetomidine or to any of the excipients. SILEO should not be administered in the presence of preexisting hypotension, hypoxia, or bradycardia. Do not use in dogs sedated from previous dosing. SILEO has not been evaluated in dogs younger than 16 weeks of age or in dogs with dental or gingival disease that could have an effect on the absorption of SILEO. SILEO has not been evaluated for use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs or for aversion behaviors to thunderstorms. Transient pale mucous membranes at the site of application may occur with SILEO use. Other uncommon adverse reactions included emesis, drowsiness or sedation. Handlers should avoid direct exposure of SILEO to their skin, eyes or mouth. Failure to lock the ring-stop on the syringe before dosing SILEO could potentially lead to an accidental overdose. Always review INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE before dispensing and dosing. See full Prescribing Information at zoetisUS.com/sileoPI.

Diebold Nixdorf, the leader in driving connected commerce, and Samsung SDS America (“Samsung”) are teaming up to showcase how integrating advanced mobile technology—such as facial recognition—and the self-service channel can lead to enhanced security and an improved consumer experience. The companies jointly demonstrated the mobile-based biometric authentication approach at this year’s Digital Bankingconference in Austin, Texas, on June 12-14.

The mobile-based transaction uses Samsung SDS Nexsign™ —a FIDO compliant biometric authentication platform—which includes facial recognition technology paired with the ATM to complete a secure and convenient cardless cash withdrawal in seconds. While banks have deployed cardless solutions, Samsung SDS demonstrates the use case without the need for a card or PIN—a leap forward in convenience without sacrificing security.

Summer’s Hottest Hairstyle Is The Messy Bun NEW YORK-- A messy bun is a quick and cool hairstyle solution when temperatures soar. The casual, undone hairstyle is extremely versatile—it works for everything from a quick run to the grocery store to a summer wedding. According to the pro hair stylists at Matrix, even though the look should be unfussy, there’s an art to striking the right balance between messy bun and just plain messy.

Here are their tips, along with a how-to for the perfect messy bun.

5 Messy Bun Updo Tips To end up with a messy bun, start with somewhat messy hair. Second-day hair works well. If hair is naturally curly or textured, work with that natural texture.

When creating a messy bun, hold the hair loosely. The object is to avoid a tight, ballerina-type bun. If your hair is scraped back firmly enough to double as a mini facelift, it’s not really a messy bun.

Keep top and bottom loose. The looser the nape area, the softer the overall look will be.

Messy buns need a lot of support. Use a texture spray like Matrix Style Link Texture Builder Messy Finish Spray

or dry shampoo like Style Link Play Back to increase volume and density. If hair is very straight, spritz damp strands with a salt spray like Style Link Rough Me Up Followed by a dollop of hair gel like Style Link Super Fixer to add texture before it dries. If curly or wavy hair

is silky or slippery, add texture spray.

Don’t overthink a messy bun. The object is to create a look that is loose, soft, romantic and casual.

How to Create the Perfect Messy High Bun Apply a volumizing foam like Style Link Volume Builder at the roots before drying the hair.

Curl hair with a 1 ¼-inch curling iron.

Work dry shampoo into the roots of curled hair.

Using the fine-tooth end of the comb, vigorously

tease the top section at the point where the high bun will sit.

Smooth over the top of the teased areas.

Roughly tease the rest of the hair with a wide-tooth comb. Tease straight hair more than curly hair.

Mist the midlengths and ends of the teased hair with Style Link Texture Builder Messy Finish Spray to help support the structure. Let the hairspray dry completely so it’s not sticky.

Holding hair loosely, pull it all up to the center top of the head.

Fold the hair over once and wrap the elastic twice around the base of the hair to secure the bun.

Gently stretch the bun apart at the top and bottom to loosen the shape.

Slide fingers under the hair above the ears and gently lift to soften the head shape.

Release a few slender, face-framing sections.

Slide fingers under the hair in back and gently lift to loosen.

Mist with more Texture Builder Messy Finish Spray.

the sweeter.

Great taste aside, sweet cherries are a healthful addition to summer picnics, parties and barbecues thanks to their fiber, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory power. They make for a snack that both grownups and little ones can enjoy straight out of the bowl thanks to their stem “handle” and can perk up appetizers, salads, desserts, sweet or savory sauces and more.

Outside of summer gettogethers, cherries make for a betterfor-you late-night snack option as well. A cup of fresh, sweet cherries contains only 90 calories along with a low glycemic index of 22 making their cold, sweet crunch a tasty way to satisfy hunger cravings.

Plus, they boast melatonin, which helps regulate circadian rhythm and promote healthy sleep patterns.

Film Seeks to Change How Women & Girls See Themselves

(Family Features) Whether fresh cherries are a favorite or a treat you’ve yet to try, the time to enjoy them is now.

Orchards in the Pacific Northwest, the nation’s largest growing region, experienced a long, cool spring, which often translates into more time and energy a tree can put into the fruit.

When combined with the superior growing conditions characteristic to the area, this season’s fruit showcases what Northwest cherries are known for: their large size and sweet flavor profile.

Popular varieties grown in the Northwest include the mahogany-red Bings and supersweet, yellow Rainiers. Rainier cherries, with their unique golden color and red blush, tend to ripen earlier in the year.

Growers pick Rainier cherries over multiple weeks, selecting the ripest fruit each time.

1 VH1’S “BLACK INK CREW: CHICAGO” RETURNS FOR SEASON THREE

A Topgolf venue in Colorado.

STADIUM TRANSFORMED INTO LARGER-THAN-LIFE PLAYGROUND KANSAS CITY - PRNewswire/-- Kansas City Chiefs fans can experience a new kind of game at Arrowhead Stadium: Topgolf ® Crush. From July 2730, sports fans, golfers and even non-golfers alike can enjoy food, drinks and music from a live DJ – all while crushing golf balls from the stands of Arrowhead Stadium into giant targets on the field. Tickets for Topgolf Crush are on sale now at topgolf.com/crush.

“Topgolf Crush puts an exciting twist on the

Topgolf experience, and we’re looking forward to bringing the party to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City,” said Topgolf Chief Marketing Officer Brian Radics. “In addition to the entertainment experience guests have come to love at Topgolf Overland Park, Topgolf Crush will also feature Topgolf ’s new Toptracer Range technology, which tracks the flight path of each shot for an entirely new gaming experience.”

(Black PR Wire) VH1 recently announced that season three of “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” will premiere on Wednesday, July 19th at 8PM ET/PT. This season finds the cast inking the legacy of 9Mag into the broader cultural landscape of Chicago, a city under siege. 9Mag owner Ryan takes the lead in re-evaluating the shop’s future as he balances growing the business and reuniting with the mother of his child. The city’s social and political unrest during the transition of power in the White House becomes a threat to not only business, but also to the very structure of the crew’s lives as citizens. Van, Don, PHOR, and Charmaine continue to carve their own paths as their visions of the shop and personal aspirations begin to differ from Ryan’s. Newcomer tattoo artist Lily joins the crew eager to impress and make a name for herself alongside the veterans of the shop, while Danielle attempts to bring original crew member Kat back from LA. With the shocking return of another former artist, the future of 9Mag begins to blur. Will the artists be able to chase love and personal success while remaining loyal to the crew?

“Black Ink Crew: Chicago” is executive produced by Dan Cesareo, Rasheed J. Daniel, Lindsey Bannisterand co-executive produced by Chris Engelmann for Big Fish Entertainment.

Nina L. Diaz, Liz Fine, and Daniel Blau Rogge are executive producers for VH1.

Chicago Cinder Classic Bike Race Makes Its Debut Chicago, Ill - Inspired by a well-known cinder track relay race at Indiana University and the film “Breaking Away,” Active Transportation Alliance announced that registration is open for the Chicago Cinder Classic bike relay race on Aug. 20 in Winnemac Park on Chicago’s north side.

Each team of four racers will ride 100 laps (25 miles) on identical single speed bikes. Unlike the race at Indiana University which is only open to students, anyone can participate in the Chicago Cinder Classic in one of four different races: Open, Men’s Elite, Women’s Elite and Masters. Within each race, awards will be given to the top overall teams and the top Corporate and Bike Club teams.

“If you’ve ever seen the race at Indiana University, you know how exciting and fun it is,” said Ron Burke, executive director of the Active Transportation Alliance. “We’re bringing that experience to Chicago and expect to see teams forming from corporations, groups of university

alumni, bicycling and running clubs, and friends who perhaps play other sports together or simply enjoy bicycling.”

Each team is required to make at least three exchanges between teammates during the race, and the strategy for when to exchange and how often is crucial to winning. Each team will be provided two identical single speed bikes to race, which allows teams to adjust bike seat positions to accommodate riders of different heights. As with the race at Indiana University, the track is cinder at Winnemac Park, which makes for a more gritty and interesting race compared to a paved surface (cinder is crushed gravel mixed with ash).

Teams have a fundraising minimum to cover expenses and to raise money for Active Trans’ mission to create better cities by improving our biking, walking and transit options. Start positions are first come, first served by the order of registration. Team registration and more information is at CinderClassic.org.

Smell Your Way to a Better Mood (Family Features) Though often taken for granted, smell is a powerful sense, especially when a gentle scent can instantly transport your mind to another time and place. From retrieving pleasant memories to boosting your mood, your sense of smell plays an important role in your overall wellbeing.

The scents you detect are actually tiny molecules that interact with sensory centers in your brain to elicit responses, such as happiness, relaxation or stimulation. For centuries, smell has been associated with healing practices.

Today, the restorative and uplifting benefits of smell can be found throughout everyday life. Next time you’re feeling down or need to soothe your mind, turn to one of these aromatic options: • Light candles with a soft, calming scent to relax and unwind. Try lighting the candle when you walk in the door from a long day, and by the time you’ve changed into some comfy clothes, the aroma should begin to fill the air.

• Take a warm shower and lather up with a scent-driven body wash, such as Softsoap Honey Creme & Lavender or Blooming Jasmine & Plum Moisturizing Body Wash. Inspired by trending ingredients and crafted with real extracts of honey, lavender, jasmine and plum, these body washes

can create an invigorating sensory experience that moisturizes and cleanses your skin.

• Energize your morning with a vibrant air freshener in your car. According to the National Sleep Foundation, scents like citrus, rosemary, peppermint and eucalyptus are stimulants that can help you shake off sleepiness and put some pep in your step. In fact, fruity smells like citrus actually stimulate serotonin, the brain’s “happy” chemical.

• A fresh bouquet of flowers is an instant moodbooster, but not just because of their beauty. Numerous studies have shown the emotional benefits of a vase filled with fresh blooms. Take that goodwill a step further by taking a trip to a flower market to purchase fresh flowers with fragrant qualities that can brighten your desk or a room at home.

• It may be the anticipation of a tasty treat to come, or maybe it’s the connection to childhood memories with a beloved relative, but few can resist the smell of homemade treats baking in the oven. Of course you can cheat and light a candle or burn wax or oil that mimics the scent, but nothing comes close to the therapy of freeing your hands and mind to bake and create that delicious aroma on your own.

• No minimum borrower contribution; Flexible sources allowed • Cash-out refinance available for properties in low-to moderate-income census tracts within Assessment Area • Income based on borrower not household income • Downpayment as low as 5% • Rates as low as 2.0%, 2.214% APR* • Refinance or purchase

SLIDE INTO SUMMER SAFETY TIPS FOR A FUN, SAFE SUMMER Inspirations

from Rev. Dr. Derrick B. Wells,

Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple

A BOUT WITH DOUBT, PT III For many of us, we are not where we want to be because the endurance of our faith does not have its full e≠ect. We must find the endurance to stand in faith with the truth that we know. If we cannot find it, what we will find instead is that we are unstable in all of our ways, for we shape our worlds by the way that we think. James 1:2-4 o≠ers that, “Whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full e≠ect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.”

Sometimes the very thing that you have been praying for, you can only get on the other side of your going through. It is this going through that psychologist and theologians sometimes refer to as the liminal space…the space in between. We often think we deserve the vision the moment we get the inspiration, but the vision was not necessarily for you in the now but rather for you, on the other side of the going through. Like the Prodigal Son, you may not be ready to handle the thing that is rightly yours. There is something to be said for the process involved in being prepared for what God is showing you. The challenge is to not allow the delay to become the seedlings of doubt.

So what is the answer? The gospel at James goes on to say that if any of you is lacking in wisdom, you should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given to you. In this, ask in faith never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind of popular opinion. For the doubter, being doubleminded is unstable; in every way, and must not expect to receive anything from the Lord or the law.

Accordingly, when we doubt, we become doubleminded. And when we become double-minded our power to successfully navigate the liminal space becomes unstable. Do not doubt. The way has been made clear for you. It may just take a little time to get there.

(Family Features) Summer is a time for playground fun, camping, boating, swimming, biking and other outdoor activities.

Longer days mean more time outside and more physical activity, which translates to increased potential for injuries. Playground falls, lawnmower accidents, campfire and fire pit burns are some common childhood injuries that can happen during summer months.

“Sustaining a serious injury can be a life-altering event for a child,” said Chris Smith, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Shriners Hospitals for Children®. “We see patients every day with injuries caused by accidents and we are committed to raising awareness about how to stay safe.”

These tips from Shriners Hospitals for Children can help your family enjoy a fun, injury-free summer.

Go Outside and Play

Outdoor play provides physical and mental health benefits, including opportunities for exercise, creative expression, stress reduction and access to a free and natural source of vitamin D – sunlight. Before sending kids out to play, make sure they are wearing shoes to protect their feet from cuts, scrapes and splinters, and wearing sunscreen to protect against sunburns and harmful ultraviolet rays.

Playground 101

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that emergency departments treat more than 200,000 children ages 14 and younger every year for playground-related injuries.

Before your kids head to the playground, keep these precautions in mind: • Choose parks and playgrounds that are appropriate for their age and offer shock-absorbing surfaces.

• Teach children that pushing and shoving on the playground can result in accidents and injuries.

• Remind kids to go down the slide one at a time and to wait until the slide is completely clear before taking their turn. Teach them to always sit facing forward with their legs straight in front of

involve boaters who have not completed a safety course.

• Always check water conditions and forecasts before going out on the water.

Fire Safety Simplified

them and to never slide down headfirst.

• Remind children to swing sitting down.

Encourage them to wait until the swing stops before getting off and to be careful when walking in front of moving swings.

Make a Safe Splash

While playing poolside may be a blast, Safe Kids Worldwide reports that drowning is the leading cause of injury-related deaths for children ages 1-4 and the third-leading cause of injury-related deaths among those under 19.

Additionally, the University of Michigan Health Systems estimate that about 6,000 kids under the age of 14 are hospitalized because of diving injuries each year, with 1 in 5 sustaining a spinal cord injury.

Prevent accidents and injuries with these tips to ensure your family’s safety around water: • Instruct children to never swim alone or go near water without an adult present.

• Give children your undivided attention when they are swimming or near any body of water.

• Always jump in feet first to check the depth before diving into any body of water.

• Never dive in the shallow end of the pool or into above-ground pools.

Fun on the Water Boating, tubing and other water sports can be great fun but can also be dangerous. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, nearly 71 percent of all boating fatalities are drownings, 85 percent

of which are a result of not wearing a life jacket. Here is what you can do to enjoy the water safely: • Always have children wear a Coast Guard-approved, properly fitted life jacket while on a boat, around an open body of water or when participating in water sports.

• Educate yourself.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, 86 percent of boating accident deaths

According to the CDC, more than 300 children ages 19 and under are treated in emergency rooms for fire- and burn-related injuries each day. Use these tips to help keep children safe around fires, fireworks, grills and other heat sources: • Teach kids to never play with matches, gasoline, lighter fluid or lighters. Make a habit of placing these items out of the reach of young children.

• Do not leave children unattended near grills, campfires, fire pits or bonfires.

Always have a bucket of water or fire extinguisher nearby whenever there is an open flame.

• Take your child to a doctor or hospital immediately if he or she is injured in a fire or by fireworks.

• Leave fireworks to the

professionals.

When the Unexpected Happens

It was a beautiful, sunny day when Jordan Nerski headed to the playground with his mother, like millions of other kids on summer vacation.

One minute Jordan was climbing on the jungle gym and the next he was on the ground with a broken elbow.

Accidents like these are why emergency room doctors and staff refer to the summer months as “trauma season.” During these warm, action-packed months, kids spend more hours active and outdoors, often without adult supervision, increasing the chance of injury. When these accidents occur, parents want the best care possible for their children.

God First Church Distinguished Leadership Awards Highlights Dr. Mildred C. Harris of God First Church and Ministries has secured financial resources for several high school graduates to get closer to realizing their dream of a college degree. Oak Street Health, a 2017 sponsor of the God First Church and Ministries Annual Community Prayer Breakfast, awarded three students; Chasity Bolden, Danielle Coker and George Beecham, residents of the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), with a $1,000 college scholarship. The financial support will help each student further their higher education and lessen the financial hardship on their families. To date, God First Ministries has given over $50,000.00 in scholarships to students residing in the CHA. For three decades, the annual God First Church and Ministries Prayer Breakfast has been bringing together communities and leaders in government, education, business and religion to pray for the city, celebrate its people and accomplishments, provide financial scholarships and recognize individuals for their work improving neighborhoods. “I thank everyone for their support.

Because of you, we continue to build bridges in the community…bringing together churches, businesses, organizations, all ethnicities, unions, schools and branches of government for the enrichment of all souls as God would have it,” said Dr. Harris.

A total of 15 individuals were presented the Distinguished Leadership Award for their unselfish work in the community. Awards were given out this year to the following 2017 recipients: Gladys Piper, Illinois State Treasurer's Office; Dorothy Jacque, Creative For Purpose International Ministries; Pastor Julia Holmes, PhD, Harvest International ; Commissioner Bridget Gainer, Cook County Board - 10th District; Sherman White, 200 Pharmacy Inc.; Rev.

The breakfast raised funds to support the work of God First Church, which has a great concern for the growing number of the less fortunate. One of the goals of its outreach ministry is to feed 1,500 youth, homeless persons and senior citizens in the Chicagoland area.

Other government officials and community leaders in attendance included Chicago Police Supt.

Eddie Johnson, Cong. Danny Davis, State Treas. Michael W. Frerichs, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, former Cook County Board President Bobbie Steele and Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer, as well as Illinois Senators and Chicago Aldermen.
