REFUSE FASCISM VIEWS TRUMP PRESIDENCY AS FASCIST TAKEOVER

By Safiyyah P. Muhammad

The Refuse Fascism group is calling Donald Trump's presidency a fascist administration and they are on a mission to squash it.

According to Chicago Refuse Fascism Initiator, Tedd Sirota, Donald Trump’s presidency will be run by a fascist dictatorship.

"What we’re saying is that there are many definitions of fascism, and if you look it up, you will see that Donald Trump fits these character traits. The most dangerous thing about it is this ‘marriage of convenience’ that Trump has put together between his unbridled capitalism and the Christian fascism of Mike Pence. He has whipped up the most racist statements in society and unleashed them on Black people, Muslims, the press and now he is attacking the arts on Twitter. The signs are clear. The evidence is clear,” Sirota said.

The Refuse Fascism Group plans to galvanize marches and rallies to protest Trumps presidency before January 20th, and according to Sirota the “wait and see” approach after Trump becomes president might be too late. He said, “The lessons that we’ve learned from history is that we can’t wait and see.

By the time you’ve done waiting and seeing, it’s too late for you to resist.

There are tens of millions of us who oppose this kind of inhumanity forced upon us. What we

NORMALIZING VIOLENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

By Monique Smith

The questions of the role social media and how it plays into propagating acts of violence have once again surfaced. Recently, Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper, and sister’s Brittany and Tanishia Covington, four African Americans were each charged with aggravated kidnapping, hate crime, aggravated unlawful restraint, and aggravated

battery with a deadly weapon in the attack of an 18-year-old mentally disabled man. The foursome’s crime was documented by their own hands as they posted the attack on Facebook. In the video they can be seen and heard making anti-white racial taunts, cutting the victims clothing and hair. Tanisha Covington is 24.

Brittany and the two men are 18 years old. Cook County Judge

Maria Kuriakos Ciesil dismissed the suspect’s pleas for a reasonable bail denying them bail asking them, “Where was your sense of decency?”

There have been other crimes posted or witnessed via Facebook live. According to a recent poll cited in an study published by the American Academy of > SEE MORE PAGE 2

“Thus, a large part of this generation’s social and emotional development is occurring while on the Internet and on cell phones.

Because of their limited capacity for self- regulation and susceptibility to peer pressure, children and adolescents are at some risk as they navigate and experiment with social media.”

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linked In and Snapchat are the most popular social media sites.

Illinois Residents Make Pledge to Go Sugarless on Wednesdays

NORMALIZING VIOLENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Continued from page 1

Pediatricians, 22% of teenagers log on to their favorite social media site more than 10 times a day, and more than half of adolescents log on to a social media site more than once a day. Seventy-five percent of teenagers now own cell phones, and 25% use them for social media, 54% use them for texting, and 24% use them for instant messaging.

Thus, a large part of this generation's social and emotional development is occurring while on the Internet and on cell phones. Because of their limited capacity for selfregulation and susceptibility to peer pressure, children and adolescents are at some risk as they navigate and experiment with social media.

Recent research indicates that there are frequent online expressions of offline behaviors, such as bullying, clique-forming, and sexual experimentation, that have introduced problems such as cyberbullying, privacy issues, and “sexting.”

Other problems that merit awareness include Internet addiction and concurrent sleep deprivation. According to a presentation at the 119th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association during a plenary

talk entitled, “Poke Me: How Social Networks Can Both Help and Harm Our Kids,” presented by Larry D. Rosen, PhD, professor of psychology at California State University, Dominguez Hills discussed potential adverse effects. “ Teens who use Facebook more often show more narcissistic tendencies while young adults who have a strong Facebook presence show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania and aggressive tendencies,” he said.

While social media can be used as an evidentiary tool in capturing crime, there is now proof that it contributes to the commission of crimes.

There are positives to social media. The shooting death of unarmed motorist Philando Castille was captured by his girlfriend on Facebook live.

Millions of Americans witness the horrific act of an officer acting aggressively resulting in Castille’s death.

While social media continues to play a substantial role in the lifestyles of Americans, law officials and psychologists advise parents to be diligent in monitoring their childrens' online presence and social media activities.

Campaign serves as an initiative to promote healthier lifestyles

need to do is get up, rise up, be heard and get in the street and be unruly. We need to let the system know that we are not going to go along with this. We don’t know what is going to happen in this new cycle (of Trump’s presidency).”

Recently, a press release stated that Co-Initiator Carl Dix and several protestors disrupted Senator Session’s confirmation hearing and were removed in handcuffs. The press release stated that Dix was dragged out of the hearing saying, “We refuse to accept a fascist America. We must be in the streets starting January 14th to stop the Trump-Pence fascist regime from coming to power.”

Sirota stated that people from all sectors of society should be concerned

about the threat of an incoming fascist government. He said, “We all should show concern because what we face right now is fear. You might fear of being deported, or if you are a Black and walk down the street with a hoodie on, you might fear of being shot in the back while walking down the street by the police. There are so many different communities that are under threat.”

Sirota, who is a jazz and reggae musician stated that several celebrities are involved in the Refuse Fascist movement including Laila Hathaway, Rosie O’Donnell, Alice Walker, Rapper, Chuck D, Comedian Margaret Cho, Debra Messing, among others.

Senate passes lead testing bill for water at schools SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois senate passed legislation recently meant to address the issue of lead contamination in drinking water and other water supplies.

The legislation, SB 550, would require schools built before the year 2000 with students fifth grade and below and licensed day cares to test drinking water

1

and water used for cooking.

State Senator Donne Trotter (D-Chicago) was one of the bill’s chief cosponsors in the Senate.

“If we don’t address this issue in schools now, we are going to continue to see huge disparities in education,” said Trotter. “Older schools in heavy low-

income and minority areas are much more likely to be effected, leading to developmental delays, learning disabilities and many other significant health problems. That is why lead testing is so important.”

The legislation now goes to the governor’s desk.

Chicago, IL — The American Heart Association, Senator Mattie Hunter from Illinois’ third district, and other Illinois legislators are spearheading an initiative to implement Sugarless Wednesday across the state – a campaign to develop healthier communities by changing the overall lifestyle of residents with one small change. The program takes place every Wednesday, now through March 29 in 2017.

“African-American and Hispanic communities throughout the state of Illinois are suffering from tremendous health disparities due to the high intake of sugar in their diets,” said Hunter. “If we can implement a campaign to encourage everyone to adopt a healthier lifestyle, even if it’s just for one day a week, the results will lead to an astounding increase in good health for our residents.”

Senator Hunter is introducing a resolution declaring every Wednesday in February 2017 as Sugarless Wednesday in Illinois. Those who participate will sign pledge cards stating, “I pledge to do my best to go sugarless.” However, sugarless does not mean sugar-free. Instead, it means no sugary drinks such as soda and artificial fruit juice and reducing the consumption of sugary desserts and snacks.

Noting that one 20 oz. soda contains more sugar than six glazed doughnuts, 18 cookies or two bags of chocolate candy, the American Heart Association is mobilizing communities across the state of Illinois to make incremental changes that lead to significant influence in their overall health.

Sugarless Sunday was the kickoff, and on December 18 more than 100 churches across the state of Illinois mobilized their congregation to make the pledge to go sugarless for one day. On this day, church communities raised awareness of the harmful effects of added sugar in their diets. The churches that participated represented more than 100,000 congregants across the state of Illinois with more than 60,000 members in the Chicagoland area, 20,000 in Rockford and more than 15,000 in East St. Louis.

"Sugarless Sunday and Sugarless Wednesday serve as a major step in the right direction,” said Bishop Larry D. Trotter of Sweet Holy Spirit Church in Chicago. “This program is amazing and is well needed. Having suffered from heart problems, cancer, and ten surgeries, I understand the importance of good exercise and a healthy diet. I will do what it takes to help my community to do the same.”

“I’m so committed to this initiative that I’m challenging all churches and organizations across the state to see who can bring in the most pledges and participation,” said Pastor Charles Jenkins of Fellowship Baptist Church of Chicago.

“I’m really pushing my congregation to make sure that Fellowship comes in at number one.”

“I’m very excited and ready to galvanize our parishioners to get on board,” said Pastor Paris Johnson of Northend Missionary Baptist Church in East St. Louis. “Sugarless Wednesdays is a great avenue to educate our congregation on the risks associated with a diet heavy in sugar, and we are on board regardless if it’s getting our members to sign pledge cards or making sure we provide healthy food at our church gatherings,” he continued. “As churches, we need to do more than offer religion, but make sure that our communities have healthy bodies because that ties into having a healthy spirit."

Faith-based communities will continue to serve as the foundation for the movement, but community organizations, fraternities, sororities and health-based groups across the state are also involved.

Illinois residents can join the initiative or find more information at www.heart.org/onesmallchange. Churches and community organization that wish to join the challenge can also contact the campaign organizer, Sandra Robinson, at (312) 943-3330 or at srobinson@goldstarc.com.

Letters to the editor The Department of Agriculture claims the cost of raising a child from birth through age 17 is $233,610, or almost $14,000 annually. As the father of seven children, let me say that this is nonsense.

Moreover, the Department of Agriculture fails to identify the multiple BENEFITS of raising children, such as the physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional advantages. These benefits are not just unquantifiable, but inestimable. The value of raising, nurturing and training children far surpass the outlandish financial estimates of Washington D.C. bureaucrats.

With this seemingly exaggerated cost estimate, how do we expect to encourage married couples to return to the healthy birth rate of more than 2.1 in the United

States? We’re shortsighted if we fail to see that the current U.S. trend is unsustainable and portends economic trouble, including lower living standards for most citizens.

We simply have to look at Japan, Greece or Italy for a lesson in the detriment of low birth rates.

Federal officials are simply out-oftouch with Middle America. Most of us don’t spend hundreds of dollars on a hammer and we spend far less than they estimate to raise a child each year. The government can learn something from working families.

Assessor’s Office mails Senior and Senior Freeze Exemption applications CHICAGO – The office of Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios has mailed Senior and Senior Freeze Exemption renewal applications for Tax Year 2016. Savings from these exemptions will appear as deductions on the 2017 Second Installment Property Tax Bills mailed this summer.

Nearly 300,000 applications were mailed to seniors who received the exemptions last year. The application deadline is Wednesday, February 8th and it is imperative that seniors return their application(s) in order to receive their exemption savings on their tax bills.

The Senior Exemption application is part of a booklet sent to eligible seniors.

The booklet also contains the separate, income-based Senior Freeze Exemption application.

“Seniors must remember that, under Illinois law, they must reapply annually for both the Senior and Senior Freeze Exemptions in order to continue to receive the deductions on their Second Installment Property Tax Bills,” Berrios said.

To qualify for the Senior Citizen Exemption for Tax Year 2016, the property owner must have: ▪ been born prior to or in the year 1951 ▪ owned the property during 2016 or have a lease or contract for 2016 which makes them responsible for the real estate taxes ▪ used the property as a principal place of residence in 2016 To qualify for the Senior Freeze Exemption for Tax Year 2016, taxpayers must have:

“If you don't qualify for the Senior Freeze Exemption because you exceed the income level, this does not mean you will not be eligible for the Senior Exemption,” Berrios explained. “The Senior Exemption has no income restrictions and I'm concerned that seniors might discard the entire booklet and not receive the Senior Exemption savings to which they are entitled.”

1951

▪ been born prior to or in the year

▪ a total household income of $55,000 or less for [income] Tax Year 2015 ▪ owned the property or had a legal, equitable or leasehold interest in the property on January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016 ▪ used the property as a principal place of residence as of January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016 ▪ been liable for the payment of 2015 and 2016 property taxes “If you don't qualify for the Senior Freeze Exemption because you exceed the income level, this does not mean you will not be eligible for the Senior Exemption,” Berrios explained. “The Senior Exemption has no income restrictions and I'm concerned that seniors might discard the entire booklet and not receive the Senior Exemption

savings to which they are entitled.”

Seniors receiving the Senior Citizen Exemption automatically receive the Homeowner Exemption.

Seniors receiving the Senior Freeze Exemption automatically receive both the Homeowner and Senior Citizen Exemptions.

Eligible seniors who have never applied for the Senior and/ or Senior Freeze Exemptions in the past may visit the Assessor's web site at www.cookcountyassessor. com and download an application or contact the Assessor's Office at 312-443-7550 and request a form be mailed to them. Applications for the Homeowner Exemption are also available online. Applications for additional exemptions administered by the Assessor's Office will be available within the next few weeks.

Honor Dr. King’s Legacy by Continuing the Voting Rights Fight We are facing a critical time for voting rights in our country. On Monday, I spoke to the Southland Ministerial Health Network at their Martin Luther King Day Spirit of Excellence Awards about the need to continue the fight for voting rights as the best way to honor Dr. King’s legacy.

Not that long ago in this country, African Americans who tried to register to vote and those who would help them register, were locked out of clerks’ offices, or worse, intimidated, beaten, even killed— so that they wouldn’t exercise their right to vote. The 1965 Voting Rights Act helped end that violent voter suppression.

As we honor the legacy of Dr. King and those who fought for the Voting Rights Act by registering to vote and going to the polls, we must confront the ugly truth that across the country, voting rights are being threatened again.

In 2013 the Supreme Court severely weakened the Voting Rights Act, giving many states wide latitude to restrict access to the

polls, which they are doing with enthusiasm.

We have yet to see what further damage the Supreme Court will do under the next administration.

Despite the current attacks on voting rights, in Illinois we have has improved access and ease in voting. Our successes would not have been possible without the help of engaged and involved citizens, civic groups and legislators. Eleven years ago I introduced Early Voting to Illinois, and each election cycle we see significant increases in Cook County residents voting early. We have also implemented online voter registration, same-day voter registration and expanded our election judge program to include high school students.

This year, we reached a record 3 million registered voters in Cook County. We have worked diligently to ensure the lists are cleaner and more accurate.

But there is still work to do, here and nationally.

crucial parts of the Voting Rights Act and reverse dangerous decisions on allowing money to flood our political system. It is outrageous that the Supreme Court has said that your influence will, in effect, be determined by how much money you have.

Here in Illinois, we must pass Automatic Voter Registration (AVR). AVR will save us money be streamlining the process of cleaning the voting rolls and thereby ensuring we have the cleanest rolls possible.

Government agencies should harness technology to share information so that voting rolls are accurate and citizens don’t need to unnecessarily engage with multiple bureaucracies.

A functional democracy requires voting so the wishes of the electorate are supposed to guide our public policy. When democracy is weakened, it leads to what we see today: public policy that is simply not what people want. Voters do not want continuing inequality or justice that is determined based on your skin color or your wealth.

Dr. King understood this. He understood the relationship between racism, economic inequality and the right to vote. Today our challenge is galvanizing our energy to continue the fight he gave his life for.

Cook County Clerk David Orr was honored Monday by the Southland Ministerial Health Network for his commitment and dedication to voting rights.

January is Radon Action Month Governor Bruce Rauner has proclaimed January ‘Radon Action Month’ in Illinois to encourage residents to test their homes for radon, a radioactive gas that is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. To kick off the month, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the American Lung Association in Illinois (ALAIL) recently announced a statewide initiative to help Illinois school districts screen school buildings for radon.

It’s estimated more than 1,100 people in Illinois develop radon-related lung cancer each year, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes radon as the leading cause of home-related deaths in the U.S. As part of the school initiative, districts throughout Illinois can receive radon detection equipment, assistance with developing a radon testing plan and guidance on radon detector placement within school buildings. To participate in the program, designated school district employees must complete an online training course on procedures for performing screening measurements in their district school buildings.

Shool districts interested in participating in the program should contact Kallie Sinkus at Kallie.Sinkus@lung.org or by phone at 217-7186667. School testing will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.

SOUTH HOLLAND, IL–The Children’s Theatre Company of South Suburban College is celebrating its 30-year anniversary with Michele L. Vacca’s enchanting and warmly amusing dramatization of the beloved tale Beauty and the Beast.

Performances will take place on Saturday, January 21, 2017 at 11:00am and 2:00pm.

Florabunda, the Enchantress (Sandy Wagner of Lansing), begins the play by gathering a troupe of players about her, and assigning them roles. Belinda, the heroine (Catherine Hundt of Thornton), is a young woman of strong opinions, education and talent.

Belinda’s father Henry Beaumont (Pat Nevins of Homewood), is the prosperous merchant.

In an effort to gain money for festivals and a new swimming pond, arrogant Prince Philip (Rykeil Knights of Riverdale) seizes all of Beaumonts’ property and they are forced to declare bankruptcy. To teach him a lesson, Florabunda works her magic and turns Philip into a hideous Beast until he learns to love and be loved in return.

One day, Henry mistakenly wanders into the garden of the legendary Beast (Eric Atkinson of Chicago). The angry Beast reluctantly promises to spare Henry’s life, but only if Belinda agrees to live in his castle. Despite Henry’s objections, Belinda insists upon doing as the Beast requests.

With the help of his servants (Juniper DeYoung of Thornton, Angela Martin of Midlothian and Heather Young of Chicago), Belinda begins to draw the coldhearted Beast out of his isolation.

Gradually, they become friends and inseparable companions.

Lansing resident Ellie Shunko is the director and producer. “We created the Children’s Theatre Company in 1986 to fill a need for affordable, live theatre for young audiences,” she said. “We perform for local grammar school and child care groups during school hours and for the general public on weekends. Our school performances are completely sold out.” Even after thirty years, Shunko has no plans of slowing down. “We are providing a valuable service for our community here at SSC,” she says. “And I still love watching the kids watch the shows.”

Adding their talents to the production lighting are designer Jon Jenkins from Chicago, costume designer Joanna Tassin from Park Forest, set designer Dean Scalzitti from Chicago and choreographer Lynzi Scholz from South Chicago Heights. June Wagner, from Lansing, is the stage manager.

South Suburban College is located at 15800 State Street in South Holland, Illinois, between Sibley Boulevard and 159th Street.

The campus is convenient to Routes 94, 80, 57, and 294 and is also accessible by PACE. Free, ample, well-lit parking is available.

Reservations are suggested.

Tickets for Beauty and the Beast are $5 per person. For more information or to reserve tickets, call the 24/7 box office voicemail line at (708) 210-5741. Leave your name and phone number and someone will return your call. You may also reserve tickets by e-mail at boxoffice@ssc.edu.

Self-care = Self-love: Revamp your routine in the New Year Looking to set resolutions and goals for the year ahead? If you don’t know where to start, consider self-care as a way to thrive both physically and mentally this year.

Practice these best self-care tips this season to get your year started on the right track. Vaseline Cocoa Radiant lotion is encouraging women to always keep self-care at the top of their minds. One of the simplest ways to do this, is to nourish and protect your skin daily.

Realistic nutrition goals – There’s no such a thing as a “one fits all” diet. Avoid committing to unrealistic nutrition goals because more often than not, you lose interest, or become discouraged!

Instead, set small goals, such as incorporating a super green everyday (aka asparagus, kale, and spinach, just to name a few) into a favorite dish. Do you love pasta? Eating it in moderation is actually healthy for you, so throw in some broccoli or sautéed spinach with some olive oil

and parmesan, and voila! You have taken the first step in accomplishing a nutrition goal.

Indulge in “Me-Time” – At least once a week, do something you enjoy for yourself. It doesn’t matter if it’s a night in the week dedicated to binge watching TV, treating yourself to a mani/pedi or massage, or even indulging in a sweet treat. Don’t feel bad about taking time for you or find excuses not to do it, because doing the things we enjoy is what prevents “overload burnout”.

So, relax, take a nap and remind yourself that you earned it.

Nourish, Beautify, & Glow – The winter months wreak havoc on our skin, making it dry, cracked, itchy and overall lackluster. Despite this, many of us All Vaseline® Intensive Care® just focus on our make up or hair, neglecting our lotions can be used daily skin.

to grab right after a bath or shower. It deeply moisturizes skin and contains pure cocoa butter, leaving it smooth, glowing, and smelling great.

Spice things up – Do you sometimes feel like you need some new inspiration, or you aren’t really taking in the world around you? Oftentimes we look past opportunities to learn new things, whether it be about our culture, our city, or the people around us. So, consider visiting a museum you’ve been curious about, taking up a one-time ceramics class, checking out a local music show, or even booking a weekend getaway. A quick online search and you can even find local deals and discounts, making the opportunity more feasible and exciting.

Emotional check-in – Practice emotional check-ins with yourself. Are you taking time to process how you’re feeling and working through it to the best of your ability? If you’re upset about a negative work review, feeling overwhelmed by new responsibilities, or unfulfilled about a particular aspect of your life, take the time to reflect on it instead of letting it fester within.

Acknowledging how you feel is the first step to taking action and planning your next move with a clear frame of mind.

Mark Farina Releases 'Casey & the Flying Fortress'

New book tells story of young man from Chicago who became B­17 bomber Co­pilot during World War II

BROOKFIELD, Ill. ­ Mark Farina's F a t h e r ­ i n ­ L a w, Casey Paulinski was a Bomber Pilot during World War II. The many questions his sur­ viving family mem­ bers had about his father­in­law's involvement in the war prompted Farina in research­ ing that topic which led to his writing of the book titled "Casey & the Flying Fortress" (published by AuthorHouse).

This book tells the story of a young man from Chicago who became a co­pilot of a bomber in Europe during World War II­from training, to the assembly of his B­17 crew, the men's struggles after becoming prisoners of war and the discovery some 60 years later of details his surviving family and fellow crew mem­ bers never knew.

"Military history and in partic­ ular World War II has offered a never ending fascination for history buffs and anyone who had a member of their family involved in that period," Farina points out. "In a broader sense,

learning to have an understand­ ing and compassion for how the war had far reaching after effects on family members to this day."

"Casey & the Flying Fortress" hopes to make readers realize that the answers to many ques­ tions for family members of mil­ itary veterans can now be found with the use of the inter­ net and old­fashioned research tools that will open up a whole new world of knowledge every­ one can learn from.
