Chicago, Ill. - Longtime U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush recently endorsed Chris Kennedy as the next Governor of Illinois at Captain’s Hard Times Dining located on Chicago’s South side. Congressman Rush hailed that Kennedy would bring “radical change” to Illinois’ state government, with a focus on helping the middle class and poor families who have been neglected under Governor Bruce Rauner. “Governor Rauner’s days are numbered,” Congressman Rush said. “He has been more cruel and coldhearted than any governor in our history. He

I stand with Chris Kennedy because I believe in Chris Kennedy and I know Chris Kennedy. He is the best candidate to restore the promise of the American Dream for millions of Illinois residents.

COMMUNITY FOCUS Duckworth, Booker Reintroduce Bill to Protect Children from Lead-Contaminated Water [WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) recently reintroduced her Get the Lead Out of Schools Act of 2017 with U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) to help ensure drinking water in schools across our nation is clean and safe from lead. The legislation would ensure periodic testing for lead contamination in schools, while also providing schools with additional resources to monitor lead levels and replace outdated water infrastructure systems. “When families send their children to school, they should not have to worry about the school’s drinking water being contaminated with a dangerous neurotoxin like lead.” Duckworth said. “The threat of contaminated water is a national public health crisis in cities across the nation, including Chicago, Carbondale, Galesburg and East St. Louis, Illinois. The Get the Lead Out of Schools Act will help protect our children, but I will keep working to ensure every family in America – no matter where they live – has access to clean and safe drinking water.” Illinois is one of a few states that already has systems in place to regularly test lead levels in drinking water. This legislation would offer the state new funding opportunities to support testing efforts. “Our failure to adequately invest in our nation’s crumbling water infrastructure is threatening the health and safety of kids across the country in thousands of communities, from Flint, Michigan, to Newark, New Jersey, to far beyond,” said Senator Booker. “Our children deserve better than continued inaction, and this bill will take an important step in upgrading our water infrastructure and strengthening testing requirements, putting the health of our children first while creating jobs and investing in our future.” An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study published in 2013 found that nearly 80% of homes in Chicago are connected to lead service lines, as well as the presence of elevated levels of lead in the

drinking water of half of the Chicago homes tested. Most communities lack the resources to investigate their water system’s exposure to lead and remain at risk. In 2016, The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system completed lead testing in 327 schools built prior to 1986 and found that 113 different schools contained fixtures such as sinks or water fountains with higher levels above EPA’s actionable levels of 15 ppb. “Where we can prevent children’s exposure to lead, we need to intervene. The Get the Lead Out Act calls for testing, disclosure and remediation to identify problems in schools, update water infrastructure, and provide resources for ongoing monitoring and maintenance,” said Clean Water Action President Robert Wendelgass. “School superintendents are committed to ensuring the safety of the water in their districts and many are already addressing leadrelated issues in their schools. We applaud Senators Duckworth and Booker for their commitment to the health of students and school infrastructure through the Get the Lead out of Schools Act. Given the news coming out of Flint (MI), Newark (NJ), and other communities across the country, this bill is a crucial step in protecting children from harmful contaminants and in improving school infrastructure and safety,” said Executive Director of the American Association of School Administrators Daniel Domenech.

Be The Match® To Rally Black And African American Marrow Donors

MINNEAPOLIS- Be The Match®, the organization that operates the world’s largest and most diverse donor registry, and Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley, have teamed up on a new public service announcement campaign, Heritage Holds the Cure, to urge Blacks and African Americans to register as potential marrow donors. Be The Match connects patients with their donor match for a life-saving marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. It manages the largest and most diverse marrow registry in the world with 16 million members. Of those members, 5 percent identify as Black or African American. Given the current makeup of the registry, Blacks and African Americans are the least likely to find a suitable match. “Currently, individuals of Black and African American ancestry are underrepresented on the registry, making it more difficult to find donor matches for those suffering from blood diseases like sickle cell,” said Mary Halet, Director of Community Engagement at Be The Match. “With this new campaign, our hope is to raise awareness of the registry, dispel some of the myths about marrow donation, and get more young people of diverse backgrounds to sign up as potential lifesaving matches.” For more information and to register, visit heritageholdsthecure.org.

Legal Services Corporation Briefs Congress on New Justice Gap in America Report

WASHINGTON – The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) recently issued a new report, The Justice Gap: Measuring the Unmet Civil Legal Needs of Low-Income Americans. The report is a study of the “justice gap” in the U.S.—the difference between the civil legal needs of low-income Americans and the resources available to meet them. LSC contracted NORC at the University of Chicago to help prepare this report. NORC conducted a survey of approximately 2,000 adults living in households at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Level—$15,075 for an individual and $30,750 for a family of four. More than 60 million Americans fall into this category, including approximately 7 million rural residents and 6.5 million seniors and more than 1.7 million veterans and 11.1 people with disabilities. The report also includes additional data that LSC collected from its grantees. Last year, 86% of the civil legal problems reported by low-income Americans received inadequate or no legal help at all. “This study shows two things: first, the vast majority of low-income Americans have significant civil legal needs that affect their families, their livelihoods, and their safety; and second, our civil legal system fails, overwhelmingly, to meet those needs,” said LSC President James J. Sandman. “The bottom line: We are not fulfilling our nation’s solemn pledge of ‘justice for all.’”

government that works for every family in every neighborhood.” Congressman Rush went on to address political dynamics in this election. “The Democratic establishment here in Illinois wants to package up with ribbons and deliver the nomination to the candidate of their choice. My message to them is that you cannot gift wrap the gubernatorial nomination because it is not yours to give. It belongs to the citizens of the state of Illinois. Chris is in and Chris will win,” added Rush. Kennedy thanked Congressman Rush for his endorsement. “I am humbled that Congressman Bobby Rush has chosen to stand with me and support my campaign. His work has not only inspired me but my whole family. He is a longtime public servant who has worked to better the lives of everyday people, hardworking middle class and poor people who deserve a government that does not push them away,

but instead welcomes them here. Illinois state government needs radical change and Congressman Rush has long advocated for radical change. I am honored to stand with him to ensure that we keep the promise of our state, and restore the American Dream as the dream for all Americans,” Kennedy said. Chris Kennedy is a Democratic candidate for Illinois Governor who ran the Merchandise Mart and is currently leading a privately financed construction project that is bringing 2,000 jobs to Illinois. Along with his wife, Sheila, Chris runs Top Box Foods, a hunger relief nonprofit they founded. Previously, he served as chairman of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees. Chris is the son of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy and is the eighth of their eleven children. He and his wife have four children and reside in suburban Chicago.

Stratton Votes to Increase Support for Every School

At a time when Chicago students are denied educational opportunities available to wealthier suburban students located just a few miles away, state Rep. Juliana Stratton helped pass legislation that will provide $300 million in additional education funding for local students and create a fair, equitable system for providing more support to every public school in the state. “Education is the next chapter in the civil rights movement,” said Stratton. “Yet while our current education funding system should create opportunity and equality, it sustains adversity and inequality by largely denying children of color the education funding they need to succeed.” Senate Bill 1 currently awaits approval from the governor. But the Stratton-backed Senate Bill 1 would, for the first time, provide Chicago schools with equitable funding by increasing state support by $300 million annually. Most importantly, the new formula sends more money to schools with a higher percentage of students in poverty, English language learners and special needs students. Senate Bill 1 accomplishes this without reducing funding for any school in the state. “I call on the governor to have the courage to sign this historic education legislation into law,” Stratton continued. “Children on the south and west sides of Chicago deserve access to a quality education just like the children from the wealthy suburbs.”

Watch Out For Rabid Bats And Animals

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) wants people to beware of rabid animals, including bats, as they become more active around this time of year. To date, more than a dozen rabid bats have been reported in Illinois this year. “Most cases of rabies in Illinois are almost always found in bats,” said IDPH Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. “You can’t tell just by looking at a bat if it has rabies so it’s important to avoid handling bats and to make sure your home has no openings where bats can come in.” Rabies is a virus that affects the nervous system. People can get rabies after being bitten by an infected animal. Rabies can also be contracted when saliva from a rabid animal gets directly into a person’s eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound. People usually know when they have been bitten by a bat, but bats have very small teeth and the bite mark may not be easy to see. If you find yourself in close proximity to a bat and are not sure if you were exposed, for example – you wake up and find a bat in your room, do not kill or release the bat before calling your doctor or local health department to help determine if you could have been exposed to rabies and need preventive treatment. If the bat is available for testing and test results are negative, preventive treatment is not needed. The early symptoms of rabies in people are similar to that of many other illnesses, including fever, headache, and general weakness or discomfort. As the disease progresses, more specific symptoms appear and may include insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, and hallucinations. Death usually occurs within days of the onset of these symptoms. If you have been bitten by any animal, seek immediate medical attention. Rabies preventive treatment, if needed, must begin quickly.

Briefly The dangers of black henna tattoos A henna tattoo is temporary but that doesn’t mean it is risk free. This is especially true if you use “black henna,” which can cause serious skin reactions. For centuries, traditional henna, a reddish-brown plant extract, has been used to dye skin, hair, and fingernails in parts of Asia and Northern Africa. Henna is safe and permitted for coloring the hair, but not for the skin or areas around the eyes. “Black henna,” a different substance, is marketed for application on the skin’s surface as a form of temporary tattoo, and it is potentially harmful. Inks marketed as “black henna” – or sometimes simply as “henna” – may actually be hair dye or contain other ingredients. The extra ingredient most often used to darken “black” henna is a coal-tar hair dye containing p-phenylenediamine (PPD), which can cause dangerous sensitization reactions in some people. Coal tar hair dyes that contain PPD are required by law to have a caution statement and directions to patch test before use. However, PPD, by law, is not permitted in cosmetics intended for staining the skin. You may find “black henna” in temporary tattoo kiosks at beaches, boardwalks, holiday destinations, ethnic or specialty shops. States regulate tattooing, but oversight for tattoo parlors and artists differs from state to state. Even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate practices in tattoo parlors, it does monitor product safety problems. Too many consumers have learned the risks of “black henna” the hard way. Dozens have reported their adverse events to FDA, but it is believed that many more problems go unreported. Some experienced reactions immediately after the application of “black henna” temporary tattoos; others occurred up to two or three weeks later. Problems included redness, blisters, raised red weeping lesions, loss of pigmentation, increased sensitivity to sunlight, and even permanent scarring. Some reactions have led to emergency room visits and prolonged skin sensitivity. For example, in one incident, a teenage girl’s back was permanently scarred after getting a black henna tattoo. Some people may experience cross-sensitization, meaning that because of a previous exposure and bad reaction to one chemical, they become sensitized (allergic) to related compounds, such as rubber and other latex products, certain medications, hair dye ingredients, and textile dyes. When exposed to one of these products they may develop a rash or other allergic manifestations. If you have a reaction to a temporary tattoo, contact your health care professional. Also, please contact FDA’s Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program (1-800-FDA-1088 or http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/ default.htm) or an FDA consumer complaint coordinator (http://www.fda. gov/safety/reportaproblem/consumercomplaintcoordinators). FDA has issued import alerts and warning letters when manufacturers have violated the law. Enforcement can include product seizure and legal actions. Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

(Family Features) There are few better times for a road trip than during the summer months when the sun is bright and the kids are out of school. Despite the expected rise in gas prices, AAA reports 79 percent of families are planning to hit the road this year, 10 percent more than in 2016. Whether it’s just you and your significant other or a jam-packed car, the experts at Interstate Batteries recommend taking these steps before hitting the open road: 1. Have a plan. Spontaneous stops can be fun and necessary to stretch your legs, but it’s always important to be safe and prepared when traveling. Even if every detail isn’t set in stone, having a rough sketch of a plan can help make your trip more enjoyable. Also be sure to share your route with someone who isn’t going. It’s safer to have someone know where you are. Use apps to let your friends and family track your road trip or help you map your trip and provide helpful tips on expected fuel costs, upcoming rest stops and nearby restaurants. Having a plan allows you to keep your trip organized without becoming a bust if you stray a bit off course. 2. Think beyond the essentials. You’ll obviously remember the necessities, such as maps, electronics chargers, snacks and pillows. Extra batteries for gadgets, portable power banks and a quality flashlight are always good to have on-hand when venturing afar, but there are other items you could be forgetting. Try to imagine every possible sticky situation and prepare accordingly. Remember to pack spare keys just in case you lock your keys in your car. Other useful items include a first-aid kit and a roadside assistance kit in the event your car breaks down. Remember that it’s better to be prepared than to find yourself in need of something you left behind. 3. Get your paperwork in order. Bring your license, registration and insurance information with you. This may sound obvious, but people still forget these documents sometimes. Make sure it’s all up to date, too. 4. Give your car a checkup. Perform basic maintenance on your vehicle before you hit the road, such as checking fluid levels, windshield wipers and more. Ask your technician to look at the tread on your tires and ensure your brakes are working properly. One thing you might not think of is getting your battery tested at a convenient location, like an Interstate All Battery Center, as summer heat is harder on a battery than winter cold. According to an automotive market survey, nearly 1 in 4 vehicles on the road will need a new battery this year. Most people don’t know they need a new battery until it’s already dead, and the last thing you want is to hear that dreaded “click-click-click-click” when you turn the key during any leg of your trip.

(Family Features) Back-to-school season means it’s time to get back to the business of learning. This year you can ace your back-to-school shopping excursion with these time- and moneysaving steps that can make getting the whole family ready for a new school year a breeze.

Start with a list.

Walking into the store without a list is an open invitation for impulse buys and forgotten items that end up costing you more time and money with a return trip. Create a thorough list by categorizing all the items you’ll shop for, such as supplies, electronics and clothing. If you want to take an extraorganized approach, try color coding items by the section of the store where you would expect to find them.

Set a budget.

Knowing what you can afford to spend ahead of time can save regret and returns after you shop. Calculate how much you’ll need to cover all the items your students truly need, then tack on some room for wants. One must-have is a high-quality backpack, like the High Sierra Access Backpack, which includes a dedicated storage area for your child’s laptop, among other features. If your total budgeted expenses exceed your available funds, consider browsing weekly circulars to keep your budget in check.

Explore your inventory.

It may be buried under a summer’s worth of knick-knacks, but digging out the supplies your child cast aside at the end of the last school year may be worth the effort. Items like scissors, rulers and protractors may not need to be replaced every year if they’re still in working condition. Assess what items you have that can be reused and those that need to be replaced for the new school year.

Cut extra stops.

Dashing all over town to find all the items on your supply list is not only time-consuming, it’s unnecessary. At stores like Office Depot and OfficeMax, you can find all the academic tools and supplies your student needs to head back to the classroom. What’s more, a store that specializes in school supplies will have a broad selection and ample stock of the essentials.

Try online shopping.

When you know exactly what you need, shopping online is a great time-saving solution. Online shopping makes it incredibly simple to keep tabs on your budget before you make purchases and easily keep track of the items in your shopping cart. If you need to hand-select a few items in person, you can always take advantage of a “buy online, pick-up in store” option. This service lets you do your shopping from home with just a quick stop in-store to pick-up your

purchases.

Buy in bulk.

It may seem counter-intuitive when you’re trying to trim your spending, but if you can swing it, go ahead and buy extra items that you’ll likely need to replace mid-year. The sale prices during the back-to-school season aren’t likely to repeat during the school year, so in the long run you’ll save money and avoid a last-minute shopping trip on a busy school night in the future. Items like Stellar fashion notebooks, which give notetaking a fashionable twist, are great to have on hand throughout the school year.

and skimp on spending. In some cases, being cost-efficient is smart, but do your research beforehand to avoid selecting items based solely on price. Value and quality don’t always go hand-in-hand and if you buy an item that falls apart or breaks down quickly, you may end up spending more to replace the items later. While it may be simpler for students to use printers and other machines at school, an all-in-one Epson Expression EcoTank Wireless Printer at home can be a convenient solution when late-night homework is bearing down.

Make dollars do double duty.

While most families expect to spend a sizable amount on back-to-school purchases (nearly $700, according to a 2016 survey by the National Retail Federation), making that money go a little further can soften the blow. You can help improve education in your community by shopping at stores that give a percentage of proceeds back to local schools. Programs vary; in some cases, you can even designate proceeds to the school district of your choice.

Research specials and promotions.

For many stores, the back-toschool shopping season is second only to the holidays. This means you can expect widespread sales, promotions and special deals, such as “deals as low as a penny.” Some states also offer tax-free holidays near the beginning of the school year, which are honored at multiple retailers and generally restricted to school-related purchases like clothing, supplies and some technology.

Weigh quality vs. quantity.

When you have a lengthy list of items to purchase for each child, it can be tempting to cut corners

Inspirations

from Rev. Dr. Derrick B. Wells,

Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple

A BOUT WITH DOUBT, PT IV It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom and yet it does require a faith citizenship in order to receive that which has been given you. Your credential is simply to have faith and do not doubt. If you doubt that you deserve the Kingdom and counsel of God, that doubt is setting up a mindset that places you outside of the good desires of your heart and bringing you more experiences by which to doubt. Job is a prime example that doubt on fire is more powerful than faith on ice. We have to turn this around and allow our faith to be more dynamic than our doubt. Faith places us on firm footing with God. Faith helps us get beyond the difficulties. Faith enables us to shape the substance of potential, hope beyond hope, and perceive the divine plan in new and powerful ways. Like Job, we sometimes doubt ourselves… and like Job, one of the ways we can tell is in how we talk to ourselves. When we doubt and talk negatively to ourselves, we are overlooking and underestimating our capacity to endure, create, and overcome. It is called playing small and because of who we are and whose we are, when we play small we are also playing God small. Of all the battles we fight, the greatest ones are often only in our heads. Let there be no doubt about the function of the Holy Spirit in your life. Let there be no doubt about the magnitude out of which you have been created. The Psalmist sang, “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” It is important for us to remember the Holy Spirit and the magnitude out of which we have been made. Show your credential and use your faith, Child of God!

(Family Features) From barbecues and birthdays to concerts and cookouts, summertime is the perfect time of year to bring everyone together. However, nice weather and outdoor events are also coupled with summer heat waves and high temperatures. Water – whether plain or sparkling – is a great way to help you stay hydrated all summer long without the calories and added sugar of other summer favorites like lemonade or punch. Healthy hydration in the summertime starts when you rethink your drink so you can beat the heat. To get started, these tips from Sarah Ladden, M.S., R.D., nutrition, health and wellness director at Nestlé Waters North America, can help keep you hydrated all summer long. • Pack for the heat. The summer heat can mean an increase in water loss, which can put you at a higher risk for dehydration especially if you’re outside for long periods of time. Make sure to pack water for all your summer outings and hydrate before, during and after all outdoor activities. • Add your own flavor. While bottled, filtered or tap water are all good choices for healthy hydration, some people simply prefer flavored beverages. The

good news: it’s easy to customize water just the way you like it. This summer, wow your friends with a DIY sparkling water bar. Set out your favorite sparkling waters – include flavored waters for added fun – alongside an assortment of seasonal berries, sliced fruit and fresh herbs, and let guests create their personalized refreshments. • Make water fun. Jazz up a glass of your favorite water with a simple addition – decorative ice. Before filling your ice tray, add a few berries or cubed melon, fresh herbs like mint or rosemary then top with water and freeze. Add a few cubes to a refreshing glass of water and enjoy just a hint of subtle flavor. • Keep water close. It’s important to keep your body wellhydrated throughout the day, but it is easy to get busy and simply forget to drink. Keep water in convenient locations throughout your home, office or even in the car for a visual reminder to keep sipping. Stocking water at the front of your fridge is another good habit so it’s the first choice kids or other family members see. This summer, rethink your drink with these tips to help make smart beverage choices. To learn more about healthy hydration, visit nestle-watersna. com.

WEDDING PLANNING 101 (Family Features) First comes the proposal then comes the wedding planning. There are dozens of decisions that need to be made before it’s time to walk down the aisle, which can be overwhelming for brides and grooms. To help make it less stressful, these tips from Macy’s can help couples through the entire wedding-planning process, from on-trend apparel and accessories for the entire wedding party to all the essentials to create a perfect registry. Dressing the Ladies When it comes to bridesmaid dresses, the mix-and-match approach is trending in popularity. Start by deciding on a color palette, such as lilac, champagne and petal pink. Then have each bridesmaid choose her favorite style within that range of hues. Bring it all together by choosing a uniform look for makeup, shoes and accessories. There is no better time to thank the ladies than the morning of the big day. A few thoughtful gifts can go a long way, such as matching robes, tumblers to stay hydrated throughout the day and cosmetic cases to stow makeup essentials. Dressing the Gents Similar to bridesmaid

dresses, groomsmen attire can be dependent on the venue and overall event aesthetic. While a suit can fit the bill for a country club wedding, a city affair may call for the sleek finishes of a tux. Tuxedo accessories, such as cuff links or bow ties, make great groomsmen gifts and are classic pieces they can use time and time again. Creating the Perfect Registry When building a registry, it’s never too early to start. People want to give gifts as soon as they know a couple is engaged. Start by taking inventory of what you already have, what you need and what you want to upgrade. It’s also recommended to update the registry regularly so there are enough gifts to choose from, especially if there is an engagement party and bridal shower coming up. To get started, some popular registry items include stand mixers, craft beer glasses, Dutch ovens, bath towels and vacuums. For extra guidance, couples can speak to advisors who can help with the full registry building process at Macy’s stores.
