GIFT OF HOPE ORGAN & TISSUE DONOR NETWORK RAISES THE BAR AND SETS NEW RECORDS FOR ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION In 2017, Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network made history by offering a record number of people the opportunity to say “yes” to becoming organ and tissue donors. Those records were shattered in 2018, with a 67 percent increase in tissue donors and 14 percent increase in organ donors. Through the generosity of these organ and tissue donors, tens of thousands of people received lifesaving and life-enhancing transplants during 2018. “While it’s easy for people to understand how donation benefits recipients, people forget that becoming an organ and tissue donor also benefits donor families,” said Kevin Cmunt, Gift of Hope president and chief executive officer. “Families take comfort in knowing their loved ones’ legacies don’t end with their death, but live on through the gift of donation. Thanks to our compassionate teams at Gift of Hope, we were able to offer the gift of donation to more than 10,000 in 2018.”

RUSH INTRODUCES INSULIN ACCESS FOR ALL BILL U.S. Representative Bobby L. Rush (D-Ill.) recently introduced H.R.366, the Insulin Access for All Act of 2019. This bill, cosponsored by 33 members of the House Democratic Caucus, eliminates the cost sharing requirement under Medicare and Medicaid for insulin. “This bill, introduced with significant cosponsors, addresses the appalling issue plaguing Americans who have one of the most devastating and debilitating diseases of modern times — diabetes. There are many who simply cannot afford the insulin they need to live longer, active, and productive lives. This legislation tackles that issue head on and ensures that those suffering from diabetes no longer have to pay out-of-pocket costs for insulin. No American should go without life-sustaining medication,” said Rush. A study by The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal predicts that by 2030, 79 million adults with type 2 diabetes are expected to need insulin to manage their condition and if current levels of access remain, only half of them will be able to get an adequate supply.
Dr. King honored by McDonald’s with free breakfast Continued from page 1
BY WENDELL HUTSON Contributing Writer
A Chatham businesswoman recently sponsored a free breakfast at her South Side restaurant as a way to honor the legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Cheryl Taylor owns the McDonald’s restaurant at 7900 S. King Drive and on Jan. 18, the first 107 customers were given a free breakfast. The event ran from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m, and by 7 a.m., 107 people were served. “The breakfast was to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his life, legacy and principles. This was my first time hosting a breakfast event for Dr. King and I would love to do it every year,” said Taylor, whose husband Derrick Taylor is president of the Black McDonald’s Operators Association of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana (BMOA). “The vision that Dr. King had about a beloved community is something I try to emulate in my life.” The event, which was broadcast live on WGCI FM (107.5 FM), attracted people like Auburn Gresham resident Debra Pleasant. “I am a regular McDonald’s customer. I come to this McDonald’s almost every morning for breakfast before I go to work,” said Pleasant, 57. “Dr. King made a lot of stuff possible for us blacks and I thank him for all that he did. We no longer have to be seated in the rear at restaurants. We can sit upfront by the window where

people can see us as they walk by.” Eating sausages and eggs at the event was David Brown, 60, another Auburn Gresham resident. “Things like this need to continue but we should also be honoring other famous blacks like Barack Obama,” said Brown, who admitted he likes to eat at rival Burger King too. “I try to practice nonviolence like Dr. King as long as no one messes with me. I’m a peaceful person until someone acts ignorant with me.” The restaurant was filled with children laughing and enjoying breakfast before
heading off to school. That’s why Hyde Park resident Precious Stighe, 28, said she brought her two, small daughters to the event. “I knew there would be other children here and my kids like eating at McDonald’s anyway,” she said. “I have a home-based business but I hope to have a brick and mortar location in the future so I can give back to the community like McDonald’s.” But parents, children and local residents were not the only ones enjoying a free breakfast at the Chatham restaurant. Military veteran Michael Brooks, 63, who is homeless, was also taking advantage of a free meal. “It feels good to eat fresh McDonald’s and not dig in the trash can outside,” said Brooks. “I am not ashamed nor am I too proud to ask for help. I served my country in the Army for 14 years, so the way I see it, I earned a free breakfast today.” Helping veterans especially those who are homeless is something Taylor said she tries to do. “We cannot forget what veterans did for this country and every chance I get, I try to let them know how much I appreciate their bravery and sacrifices.” Last November, Taylor gave away 500 turkeys to the community at her other McDonald’s restaurant, 7601 S. Vincennes Ave. The turkey giveaway was part of BMOA’s annual Food for the Body & Spirit event it sponsors at various McDonald’s restaurants.
Repairing The Harm And Breaking The Cycle, Using Best Practices In South African Apartheid Healing On Monday, January 21, the Darren B. Easterling Center for Restorative Practices hosted its second Truth and Reconciliation Summit in the Skyline Conference Room of the Lawndale Christian Conference Center located on 3750 West Ogden Avenue in Chicago. North Lawndale is one of many communities consistently ranked as one of Chicago’s most dangerous and underserved areas of the city. Through the practice of forgiveness, the Center recently sought to give rise to both healing and reconciliation with survivors, perpetrators, and community leaders in an environment that developed a sense of connectedness. During the recent summit, the goal was to focus on moving the community forward by planting seeds to help and heal its past. A panel discussion was lead by Robin Robinson, director of community affairs for the Chicago Police Department, who served as host and moderator. Additionally, there was an

Finally, the summit concluded with breakout discussions to help
www.thechicagocitizen.com
equip participants with the tools to incorporate forgiveness and healing into their own lives. “Offering a space where people can actually tell their stories and be heard is vital in communities where harm has been done,” said Lisa Daniels, founder and executive director of the Center. Daniels, who is also a newly
appointed member of the Illinois Prison Review Board (PRB), previously hosted the same event in the Englewood community. She said the summit provides participants with an, “opportunity to identify the hurt and describe what a particular experience did to them. Where did it leave them? Next steps include granting forgiveness and deciding whether they want to relinquish or restore the relationship. These are the best practices of South African apartheid healing that we will bring to Chicago,” she added in a press release. The Darren B. Easterling Center for Restorative Practices is a behavioral health services organization serving Chicago area communities. Its mission is to transform the individual behaviors believed to be at the core of gun-violence. The Center offers trauma-focused recovery services to women and children impacted by the loss of a loved one, because of a violent crime or incarceration.

Two of Three Seventh Ward Alderman Candidates Participate In Community Forum BY KATHERINE NEWMAN
Two of the three candidates for Seventh Ward Alderman recently participated in a community forum at Christ Bible Church, 7877 S. Coles Ave., to discuss their ideas for the office and take questions from the community. The two candidates that participated were Jedidiah Brown and Charles Kyle who are both running against the incumbent Seventh Ward Alderman, Greg Mitchell, who was not present at the forum. The forum was hosted by Al Greer who has been working in radio across the Greater Chicagoland Area for over 35 years. Greer asked each candidate the same four questions and then opened the forum up to the audience for a question and answer session. At the start of the forum, Brown introduced himself as having been a first responder and crisis advocate in Chicago for the last 10 years along with always fighting for government accountability and against police brutality. “I’ve lived my entire life in service to other people with no paycheck, no staff, no office a lot of the time. I just live my life to make sure that people have opportunities,” said Brown. “For me, everything about running for Alderman is about the people.” The other candidate that participated in the Seventh Ward forum was Kyle, who focused heavily on business and economic development. These two areas are key he said towards solving other issues in the ward. “While the Ward is full of character and life, we could do so much better and I think we can do better when we look at our housing, our economic development, and our public safety,” said Kyle. “I believe that with high-end business corridors we can decrease crime because, as I’ve said before, no one sells loose squares, marijuana, or anything of the sort in front of high-end businesses.” Both candidates were asked about how they would find funding for mental health services in the community and why they thought it was important to do so. The first response came from Kyle, who said this

problem could be solved by readjusting the budget to better prioritize mental health. “If we could find a way to pay for these pensions, then we could find a way to pay for mental health services,” said Kyle. Brown responded to this by saying that there is a mental health crisis going on in Chicago and he suggested that the tax dollars that are currently being used to keep people incarcerated could be more appropriately allocated towards mental health services. “There is a mental health crisis going on in Chicago,” said Brown. “Right now, we utilize our property tax money to pay for people to be incarcerated. They lock up the young people and we are paying the bill for that, so we need to find a way to reduce recidivism and go to the state legislature and advocate for the funds that are being utilized to criminalize our children to be redistributed into preventative measures.”

Illinois Department Of Public Health Lead Rules Approved Rules proposed by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) that will increase the number of children identified with lead poisoning and trigger earlier intervention were approved by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) recently. The rules lower the level at which public health interventions are initiated for children with blood lead levels from 10 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL) to 5 µg/dL, the same lead reference level used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The new lower action level means more children will be identified as having lead poisoning, allowing par-
ents, doctors, public health officials, and communities to take action earlier to reduce the child’s future exposure to lead,” said IDPH Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. “Even low levels of lead in blood have been shown to contribute to learning disabilities, developmental delays, behavioral problems, as well as a number of other negative health effects.” With the new rules, children who test at or above the new intervention level of 5 µg/dL will receive a home visit from a public health nurse who will educate families on ways to lower the blood lead level and reduce lead exposure, including proper nutrition,
hygiene, and housekeeping. Public health environmental experts will also begin to inspect residences for all children with an elevated blood lead level of 5 µg/dL or greater to determine the potential source(s) of the child’s lead exposure as additional resources become available. The burden of Illinois childhood lead poisoning remains one of the highest in the nation. Among the approximately 229,000 children tested in 2017, more than 7,000 had blood lead levels at or above 5 µg/dL Illinois law requires that all children six years of age or younger be assessed for lead risk. Physicians www.thechicagocitizen.com
must perform a blood lead test for children who live in high-risk areas or meet other risk criteria. In addition to lowering the blood lead level at which health departments will conduct an environmental inspection and case management, the rules reduce other lead environmental benchmarks including lead in dust and water. The rules also propose increased enforcement authority for violations of the Lead Poisoning Prevention Act and Code. This includes property owners who fail to perform lead remediation on a property where children with elevated blood levels
live. Additionally, the proposed rules increase the maximum fine for violators to encourage compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules and impose penalties for returned checks or insufficient payments. This rulemaking also establishes the safest way for lead to be removed from homes and ensures that workers engaged in this work are appropriately remediating lead hazards and are not creating additional risk to residents. The rules will become effective in the coming weeks and will be available in the Illinois Register on the Illinois Secretary of State’s website.

Martin Luther King’s influence resonates in Illinois

BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Chicago Sun-Times
“He would have been 90 this year,” says the Rev. Jesse Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. Jackson was reflecting on this year’s holiday honoring his mentor and friend. Jan. 15 was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, celebrated nationally on Jan. 21. As the years go by, there are fewer of those who marched with him to share their memories. But Jackson, one of his closest aides, can still recount milestone moments from King’s Chicago Freedom Movement of 1965-66 like it was yesterday. “Our offices used to be at 366 E. 47th St., in what’s now Bronzeville, and we used to meet every Saturday morning at Chicago Theological Seminary,” says Jackson, 77, who first met the man of peace at an airport in 1964, when King was en route to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize. Jackson then marched with King in the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches. He soon joined the team of the charismatic civil rights leader and was assigned to run Operation Breadbasket, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s anti-poverty effort. When the Baptist preacher who espoused nonviolence brought the fight for equal rights north to Chicago, Jackson was at his side. Here are significant events involving King in Chicago. l Chicago churches still standing today were the sites of their strategizing meetings, including Fellowship Baptist Church, 4543 S. Princeton Ave.; New Friendship Baptist Church, 848 W 71st St.; and Stone Temple Baptist Church, 3622 W. Douglas Blvd. l There was King’s June 21, 1964 speech at the Illinois Rally for Civil Rights at Soldier Field, days after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. Then, after being asked by the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations to come help Black Chicago fight for quality schools, King led a July 26, 1965 march on City Hall; gave a fiery speech before tens of thousands at the July 10, 1966, Freedom Sunday Rally at Soldier Field; and on Aug. 26, 1966, held a globally covered “Summit Agreement” with Mayor Richard J. Daley. l As part of his “End Slums” campaign, King famously moved his family into a dilapidated, thirdfloor walk-up at 1550 S. Hamlin Ave. in North

Lawndale on Jan. 1, 1966, the building is long gone but the Dr. King Legacy Apartments and Fair Housing Exhibit Center now marks the spot. l King’s open housing marches, and the attendant violence from angry residents on the Southwest Side, are most remembered, culminating with the infamous Aug. 5, 1966, march through Marquette Park, where the Baptist preacher was felled to the knee by a rock to the head, lending credence to his famous quote: “I have never seen, even in Mississippi and Alabama, mobs as hateful as I’ve seen here in Chicago.” “When King came to Chicago, we couldn’t live west of Ashland, and blacks were hemmed into these ghettos,” Jackson says, taking a reporter down memory lane. Born Jan. 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Ga., King was ordained and became assistant pastor at his father’s Ebenezer Baptist Church in 1948. He married the beautiful Coretta Scott King in 1953, with whom he had four children. It was in 1955 that his civil rights efforts began in earnest, when he became president of the Montgomery Improvement Association, the group that led the 13-month Montgomery Bus Boycott after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus. It ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling segrega-

South Chicago Assembly Plant Will Continue Producing All-New 2020 Ford Explorer BY KATHERINE NEWMAN
Ford Motor Company recently announced a brand new model for their 2020 Explorer which will be produced at the Chicago Assembly Plant located on 12600 S. Torrence Ave. in Hegewisch. “We revealed the 2020 Explorer and it as an all-new Explorer model that offers our broadest lineup ever. It’s a ground-up reengineering effort so it has been meticulously redrafted and we’ve just loaded it up with a ton of adventure ready technology,” said Lee Newcomb, Explorer brand manager for the Ford Motor Company. The Chicago Assembly Plant in Hegewisch opened in 1924 and has built the Ford Explorer since 2010. This is Ford’s oldest continuously-running manufacturing plant that is still in operation today and employs over 4,000 people at the 2.8 million square-foot facility. “Chicago Assembly has proven itself as a great resource to build the Explorer.

ued our legacy of being the number one selling SUV in America. I think it just made sense to continue to leverage that experience and success in Chicago for our all-new 2020 model. These people have great experience building the Explorer and I think we just wanted
to continue to leverage that with the all-new model,” said Newcomb. The Ford Explorer is one of the company’s strongest brands and is also “the number one selling family SUV in America of all time,” said Newcomb. “We launched the Explorer 29
years ago and we have really been building on the legacy of that nameplate for a long time. It’s a vehicle that families look to when they are looking for a three-row SUV and it does bring a lot of traffic to our showroom,” said Newcomb.
Since inception, 7.8 million Explorers have been sold and roughly 2 million Explorers have been built in Chicago since 2010. “We are proud to build it in Chicago,” said Newcomb. “We plan to have that same level of success or better as we move forward with the all-new 2020 model starting this summer.” Aside from building the standard 2020 Explorer, there will also be a Hybrid option and an ST, or sport, edition produced at the Chicago Assembly Plant and Ford Motor Company will soon be announcing what adjustments will need to be made to carry out those production needs. “With any all-new model, it’s going to require a sizable investment in the facility,” said Newcomb. “When you’re doing that level of changeover, it helps to keep everything else as calm as possible which is another reason why we want to leverage those great workers in Chicago and their experience of building the current Explorer so we can get the new one launched and running as quickly as possible.”
Change can happen in a heartbeat.

Sellers of 2018 HGTV Dream Home
While the world is watching the HGTV Dream Home give away in 2019, there is a secret to be told. The actual home from the 2018 HGTV Dream Home giveaway is on the market. The 2018 Dream Home is in Gig Harbor, Washington and is listed with Michael Morrison of Morrison House Sotheby's International Realty. The current owners bought directly from HGTV this summer after the winner opted for the cash settlement from HGTV. Now, the 2018 Dream Home owners are having their dream cut short and are relocating to Texas. They are heartbroken that their dream on Henderson Bay is soon about to be over. The home is listed at $1.899 and is available furnished and turn key.
"The owners wanted to keep the experience of the dream home alive for the new owners, its available as seen on the TV show," Morrison said. Morrison House Sotheby's International Realty is affiliated with Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates and the venerable Sotheby's Auction house that dates to 1744. The organization operates two offices in Pierce County: Gig Harbor and the Proctor District of Tacoma. The Sotheby's International Realty network currently has more than 22,000 affiliated independent sales associates located in over 970 offices in 72 countries and territories worldwide. Recently, the brand achieved a record global sales volume of $108 billion USD annually.

(StatePoint) Running a household can be expensive, but experts say that there are new ways you can save big on needed items. “The days of clipping coupons may be out of style, but finding ways to save money never is,” says Michael McAuliffe, president of Family Credit Management. “From in-store apps to price trackers, new tech tools can help.” The experts at Family Credit Management are encouraging consumers to research their moneysaving options, as technology is always evolving. To get you started, they have narrowed down a few tech-savvy ways to streamline and save. • Browser Extensions: Whether you use Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox as your internet browser, there are sites you can visit to add an extension to your searching power. It’s like adding an additional search box which will know to look for the best deals out there whenever you are shopping online and compare prices side-by-side, cutting out some of the legwork for you. Some well-known examples are PriceBlink, The Camelizer and InvisibleHand. • Coupon Apps: Mobile apps such as Coupon Sherpa, SnipSnap and Yowza, enable you to scan items while you’re in-store and find the best value coupons on the spot. • Price Drop Alert Trackers: Don’t make the mistake of assuming Amazon is the be-all-and-end-all for saving. Prices drop all the time. But, how can you keep track of who is dropping them and when? With a tracker app, you can tell the app what to look for and it will notify you when your wanted items drop in price. IFTTT (If This Then That), camelcamelcamel and Price Tracker for Amazon will keep an eye on prices for you to make sure you’re the first to see the best deals. • Credit Card Points/Discounts: Credit cards can encourage overspending, but when used carefully and within budget, offer certain advantages. For example, store-specific credit cards often offer special discounts, kickbacks and coupons for cardholders. Just think how you could double up on the savings by using some of the above tools, as well as by purchasing with a card with added bonuses. Remember though, that any savings you earn will quickly be eaten up if you pay interest charges. To avoid this trap, never use a credit card unless you can pay the entire balance in full each month. Also, think very carefully about opening a new account, as this can negatively affect your credit. More household shopping, spending and saving tips can be found at familycredit.org. When it comes to household spending, be smart. You can stay within budget by practicing spending discipline and leveraging the latest tech tools. __________________________________
