Final Light In The Night Event Held In Collaboration With Chicago’s Vision Zero Continued from page 1 BY KATHERINE NEWMAN
The Garfield Park Community Council recently hosted their final Light in the Night event of the summer near the Kedzie Green Line station, 3200 W. Lake St. The event was created to provide a safe space where community members could enjoy their weekend. The Garfield Park Community Council is a community-building organization made up of residents and allies who work together to create opportunities and develop programs that support the Garfield Park community. “We’re in the Garfield Park neighborhood, which is directly west of the United Center, and we focus on housing, community wellness, our commercial corridors, and resident community organizing,” said Mike Tomas, executive director of the Garfield Park Community Council. Throughout the summer, the Garfield Park Community Council has been hosting their Light in the Night events every Saturday to
provide free activities, entertainment, healthy snacks, and giveaways to the community. More than that, the event provides a safe space for residents to relax and enjoy in their neighborhood. “We don’t have a lot of places for people to gather in the neighborhood. We don’t have a bank, we don’t have a grocery store, and we don’t have a coffee shop so one thing that we feel strongly about is trying to create safe spaces for people to come out. At the event, we have pony rides, jump houses, dominos, card games, arts and crafts station, and we just want people and families to come out,” said Tomas. The most recent and final event incorporated Chicago’s Vision Zero campaign which is a city initiative aiming to eliminate death and serious injury from traffic crashes involving pedestrians and bikers. The Vision Zero campaign builds on the work of the Garfield Park Community council by giving residents the chance to come together and share their vision of creating safe streets for pedestrians, runners, and cyclists in Garfield Park.
“Residents have spoken for years that they want to have a walkable commercial corridor. We don’t want to be a destination shopping district, but rather a small walkable commercial corridor. So Vision Zero’s goals around making the streets more walkable, more bikeable, and safer go well with our commercial goals,” said Tomas. At the location where the event was held, near the corner of Kedzie and Lake St, pedestrians are constantly coming and going from the train and walking up and down the street all day long. To improve their safety, Vision Zero recently installed plastic stanchions to slow down traffic and protect people who may be waiting to cross the street at the intersection. During the event, residents were asked to give feedback on the recent improvements and to give further suggestions on how pedestrian safety could be improved in the community.

Free Mental Health Workshop and Film Screening To Be Held At DuSable Museum =BY KATHERINE NEWMAN The DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 E. 56th Pl., will host a Mental Health Workshop and screening of Dr. Darnell Lamont Walker’s, prize-winning film “Outside The House” Sept. 14, at 5:30 PM. The film, along with the workshop, will address the realities of mental health in black families and communities. “Growing up in the black community, [mental health] was something that we never talked about and it is still such a very taboo subject. I wanted to know why we weren’t talking about it,” said Walker. In the film, Walker was able to share first-hand stories of the shame and humiliation his interview subjects experienced when reaching out for help and how they perceive the stigma of mental illness in the Black community. The idea began with a question, why don’t black people talk about mental health? Walker went to Facebook and posted a status asking for his friends and followers who out of them had previously sought mental health services, why they did it, and if they found the services to be helpful? After receiving an immense number of responses, Walker de-

cided to begin traveling. He visited various parts of the country where he filmed interviews with black people who were interested in sharing their personal experiences with depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, rage, racism, incarceration, trauma, alcoholism, abuse, suicidal ideation, and anxiety. “Growing up, you go through these instances of mental illness,
www.thechicagocitizen.com
you experience it, and you just keep it to yourself. What I found through the interviews is that a lot of the people actually went to their family and said ‘I’m not okay, I don’t feel okay, and I really need help,’ and the family just told them to push it under the rug basically,” said Walker. The film examines clinical and emotional aspects of mental illness along with the myths that
surround mental health in black communities, like the idea that mental illness is a white thing and that African Americans don’t have mental health problems, according to a press release from the DuSable Museum. After the film screening there will be a panel discussion featuring Dr. Keajuanis Malena, former president of the Chicago Chapter of The Association For Black Psychologists, and, Mercedes Williams, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. “The panel will discuss what small things we can do to create a safe space for people. We will be talking about alternatives to therapy, how to find therapists that work for us, and how often we should go,” said Walker. “ We will talk about what some of the triggers are and how can we better prepare our children and raise better kids who are very aware and emotionally intelligent.” The “Outside The House” Screening and Program are sponsored by State Representative Emanuel “Chris” Welch, 7th District of Illinois and presented by Lost Boyz Inc. and The DuSable Museum of African American History. Admission is free, however, audience members must be at least 10 years of age to attend.

NEWS Happy midterms! Here’s a rundown of the best political zingers in history BY CHRIS LAMB
Labor Day marks the beginning of the decisive, final stretch of the U.S. political campaign season, when candidates prepare to debate one another by practicing their ad-libs or “zingers,” as they’re called, hoping to have the last word with voters. I dedicated my book, “I’ll Be Sober in the Morning: Great Political Comebacks, Putdowns, and Ripostes,” to Dan Quayle, the former vice president who was left red-faced and stuttering by Democrat Lloyd Bentsen during a vice presidential debate in 1988. In a political debate, the ability to deliver a response that leaves an opponent speechless can be a potent weapon. To win a battle of wits requires qualities that are rare – or at least medium rare – in politics – a good ear, good timing, a nimble brain and a sardonic wit. British politician Winston Churchill understood the secret behind the spontaneous putdown. “All the best off-the-cuff remarks are prepared days beforehand,” he said. The ability to deliver a sharp wisecrack can be a potent political weapon. A verbal comeback can be both a bludgeon to injure an opponent or a shield to deflect a opponent’s unwanted advances. But perhaps most importantly, it can establish one’s superiority over
Chris Lamb
his or her rival. In the dog-eat-dog world of politics, nobody wants to end up as the bone. WHAT MAKES A GOOD COMEBACK? Churchill, whose trenchant wit is prominently featured in my book, inspired the book’s title. As the story goes, Churchill was drinking heavily at a party in 1946 when he bumped into Bessie Braddock, a political rival. “Winston, you are drunk, and what’s more you are disgustingly drunk,” Braddock scolded him. “Bessie, you are ugly, and what’s more you are disgustingly ugly,” he responded. “But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.” Churchill’s wit could cut deeply. This approach works better in England than in the United States, where
a sarcastic quip may regale party loyalists but runs the risk of turning away undecided voters. Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Dole twice ran for president and lost each time in part, observers said, because his sense of humor was widely viewed as mean-spirited. By contrast, Abraham Lincoln’s humor was often self-deprecating, which elicited sympathy from the audience rather than scorn. During one of Lincoln’s debates with Stephen Douglas in 1858, Douglas called Lincoln “twofaced.” Lincoln responded by saying, “I leave it to my audience. If I had another face, would I wear this one?” TURNING THE TABLES During one of the Democratic Party presidential debates in Iowa in 2007, a journalist asked then-Sen. Barack Obama how he could promise a significantly different foreign policy from former President Bill Clinton, given that several of his advisers once worked for the Clinton administration. Before Obama could answer, Sen. Hillary Clinton, the former first lady and the frontrunner to win the Democratic Party’s nomination, interrupted him. “I want to hear that,” Clinton said, provoking laughter. Obama paused momentarily and replied, “Well, Hillary, I’m looking forward to you advising me, as well.” The audience laughed, and so did the other Democratic candidates on
stage – except for Clinton, whose self-satisfied smile turned to a grimace. Clinton scored political points of her own during a presidential debate in 2016. When Republican candidate Donald Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had “no respect” for Clinton, she responded: “That’s because he’d rather have a puppet as president.” Trump then countered with “No, puppet, no puppet, you’re the puppet.” When Trump feels wronged, he goes on Twitter and responds with the finesse of a knee to the groin. His comebacks are more like something you would hear on an elementary school playground than something you could read in my book. Trump called Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former staffer, “a dog”; Hillary Clinton “Crooked Hillary”; and “Cheatin’ Obama.” STAYING POWER Technology makes it possible for Trump’s insults to live forever on Twitter. But technology has also makes it possible to preserve videos of memorable comebacks such as the following: When Ronald Reagan ran for a second term as president in 1984, he was in his 70s and critics wondered if he still had the vitality for the office. This criticism intensified when Reagan struggled during his first debate with Democratic challenger Walter Mondale. At the beginning of the next de-
bate, a reporter raised the question of his age to Reagan, who was prepared with a response. “I want you to know that I will not make age an issue in this campaign,” Reagan said. “I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” Reagan was easily re-elected. In 1988, George Herbert Walker Bush selected little-known Sen. Dan Quayle as his running mate. The youthful Quayle deflected concerns about his age and inexperience by comparing his experience to John F. Kennedy, who also had relatively little political experience before seeking the presidency in 1960. Quayle’s handlers told him not to bring up the comparison during his televised debate with the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Lloyd Bentsen. Quayle ignored the advice. When the issue was raised during the debate, Quayle answered, “I have as much experience … as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency.” Bentsen was ready. “Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.” Chris Lamb is a Professor of Journalism at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis.
ComEd Hosts Free Bronzeville Microgrid Showcase and Job Fair BY KATHERINE NEWMAN
The Microgrid Showcase and Job Fair, hosted by ComEd, will take place at the Illinois Institute of Technology’s Hermann Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 15 and will give an update on the installation of Bronzeville’s Microgrid while the accompanying job fair will provide information about energy jobs. Earlier this year, ComEd received approval from the Illinois Commerce Commission to build a microgrid in Bronzeville that will integrate renewable energy sources into the main electrical grid and maintain flowing electricity to the area if the main electrical grid were ever damaged. Prior to beginning construction on the microgrid, ComEd had already selected Bronzeville as their Community of the Future and began piloting several sustainable energy initiatives in the community like smart kiosks, solar and wind turbines, and an electric vehicle to provide affordable and emissions-free transportation for residents of the TRC Senior Village. “We’ve been working in the Bronzeville area and engaging the community members since early 2016 around this concept that we refer to as a Community of the Future,” said Melissa Washington, vice president of External Affairs

and Large Customer Services at ComEd. The event is completely free, open to the public, and all about giving the community an opportunity to learn about what makes Bronzeville unique by having so much new technology and the microgrid, according to Washington. The Job Fair will give an introduction to a
broad range of jobs in the energy field that are not specifically limited to working for ComEd. “What we wanted to do is bring some of our workforce development partners out to talk about the training and also about job opportunities in the energy field,” said Washington. “There are a lot of partners who do other things in this space and we want to expose
www.thechicagocitizen.com
people to that and give them an opportunity to get introduced to anything from entry-level jobs all the way up to skilled and experienced positions in this field,” said Washington. Attendees who are interested in learning about energy jobs should come prepared to have meaningful and professional conversations with potential employees. ComEd is encouraging people to bring resumes, dress appropriately, and most of all, feel comfortable to ask questions and get advice on how to apply, interview, and obtain an energy job. “Just come here knowing that you might get an opportunity to meet your next employer,” said Washington. Through the Community of the Future effort, ComEd has shown their commitment to learning what the communities are in need of and working to create sustainable solutions to fulfill those needs. “The community is very important to us no matter what community it is. It can be Bronzeville now and it can be other communities later because we do want to try and understand how the Community of the Future concepts can be expanded to other communities around our territory,” said Washington.

BUSINESS Up to One Million Dollars in Financing to Be Awarded to Ethnic Minority Companies in ‘Shark Tank’-like Business Competition Minority business owners have historically found it difficult to gain access to capital. This funding often plays a big part in determining between the success and failure of the business. Studies have shown that financial, human, and social capital, as well as racial discrimination, are primarily responsible for disparities between non-minority and minority businesses. Achieving parity is key to significant U.S. economic growth, creating new jobs and raising wages in economically disadvantaged communities. To help solve this dilemma and bring attention to this issue, the Metropolitan Economic Development Association (Meda) and the City of Saint Paul, Minn., are hosting the first-ever national ethnic minority Million Dollar Chal-
lenge – modeled on the television show “Shark Tank” – where early stage businesses will compete for up to $1 million in financing. Ethnic-minority owned businesses from across the country will meet in Saint Paul, Minn. and will participate in a speed pitching event to qualify for up to one million dollars in financing. The challenge is being held by Meda, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s top-performing minority business development agency in the nation. Round one will be held on Oct. 10, 2018 as part of Twin Cities Startup Week and adjacent to the national Blacks in Technology conference. Up to 10 finalists will move on to the next round – an “accelerator” offering investor and
industry feedback, mentorship, exposure and professional connections. These finalists will return to Saint Paul, Minn. in January for the final event, which will award up to one million dollars in financing. Financing will be in the form of a convertible note. The Oct. 10, 2018 event will be held at the Travelers Insurance corporate headquarters auditorium at 345 Washington Avenue, Saint Paul, Minn. A reception begins at 5 p.m. and the speedpitch competition will run from 6 to 8:15 p.m. Potential ethnic minority businesses wanting to apply can do so at www.meda.net and complete a nine-question online questionnaire. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 12.

The Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS) recently announced that the National Public Housing Museum has been awarded the Community Catalyst Grant for $147,083, with funds to support the Museum’s Entrepreneurship Hub. The highly competitive grant received forty-nine applications this year, and the Museum is one of twelve institutions that will be awarded funding for this grant period. The Museum’s community partners for the Hub include University of Illinois-Chicago’s Social Justice Initiative, the Chicago Housing Authority’s Central Advisory Council, Civic Projects, Archeworks, and many public housing residents. The project is inspired by the resilience of Chicago’s public housing residents who have worked in informal economies as artists, hair stylists, food purveyors, fashion designers, and social entrepreneurs. The Entrepreneurship Hub focuses on Chicago’s homegrown talent and invests in the innovative potential of public housing residents by providing support, resources, and collective imagining as they move their businesses from the kitchen table to the storefront and beyond. “We are excited to play a role in the design and build-out of the Entrepreneurship Hub as the Museum moves closer to completion,” says Monica Chadha of Civic Projects. “The Hub will provide incubation and growth for entrepreneurs and its pairing with the Museum co-op shop creates an ecosystem for businesses to distribute products directly to consumers. The project is a vital component of the Museum’s mission and supports new and innovative approaches to business growth. The Museum’s Hub is made up of four parts including: • The Social Justice Business School, a curriculum of classes on economic development economic democracy, cooperative enterprise, small business ecosystems, racialization of space, and neighborhood change. • Open Hours, a drop-in and pro-bono business services for public housing residents provided by Chicago designers, architects, and small business owners, • A Museum Store, as a groundbreaking public housing resident-owned cooperative business • A Storytelling space, featuring workshops that empower residents to share their own stories about entrepreneurship as well as train residents to become oral historians themselves.

New Research Finds the More Connected You Feel to Your Future Self the Healthier Choices You Make Staying committed to healthy habits can be daunting. We are constantly faced with tradeoffs. Cooking at home versus indulging in a night out. Waking up early to exercise versus getting that extra hour of sleep. New research from Columbia Business School, UCLA and California State University Northridge examines these day-to-day decisions and finds that the more connected you feel to your future self, the more likely you are to adopt healthier habits today, tomorrow and thereafter. While there have been several studies on the financial benefits of future self-continuity (the connection one feels to the future self), this is the first study to investigate the link between future self-continuity and long-term decision-making related to one's health. "Our findings can help people circumvent the pitfalls of behavioral health changes," said Michael Slepian, Assistant Professor of Business at Columbia Business School. "What the research shows is, if you can get people to think about their connection to their future selves, you can also get them to visualize the repeated health decisions they will need to make to improve their long-term health."
New research from Columbia Business School, UCLA and California State University Northridge examines day-to-day decisions and finds that the more connected you feel to your future self, the more likely you are to adopt healthier habits today, tomorrow and thereafter.
FUTURE SELF-CONTINUITY AND YOUR HEALTH Through two studies, Slepian and his co-authors, Abraham Rutchick, Monica Reyes, Lindsay Pleskus and Hal Hershfield, found evidence that a stronger connection between present and future selves is associated with better health and lifestyle choices. In the first study, the researchers assessed the relation between future selfcontinuity and self-reported health. In the second study, they implemented a brief intervention—writing a letter to one's future self—to explore the effects of future self-continuity on
exercise behavior over time. The researchers compared focusing on one's self far in the future, 20 years from now, to focusing on a near future self, 3 months from now. They discovered that exercise behavior increased as a result of focusing on one's connection with the self far in the future, thus showing long-term decision-making potential. According to the researchers, it is possible that increasing future self-continuity would not only promote positive healthy behavior like exercising, but also prevent negative behaviors like overeating. www.thechicagocitizen.com
The findings of this study could be applied to other behavioral health domains including skincare, such as sunscreen use and tanning salon use, dental care, such as regular flossing and routine dental visits, and road safety, such as texting while driving. FUTURE SELF-CONTINUITY AND YOUR LIFE Beyond healthy living, highlighting future self-continuity could help people develop new skills for new careers or promotions. Likewise, when it comes to saving money, whether for a child's college education or a future
home purchase, the more connected one feels to the future self, the more one might feel capable and ready to start putting money away today. The paper, "Future SelfContinuity Is Associated With Improved Health and Increases Exercise Behavior," was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology and is available online at: http://psycnet.apa.org/anding? doi=10.1037%2Fxap0000153.

Peoples Energy Welcome Pavilion Officially Opens at Navy Pier, Private Dedication Ceremony Held Sept. 20 Navy Pier, one of the mostattended and iconic destinations in the Midwest, has opened its new Peoples Energy Welcome Pavilion, a 4,000-square foot facility designed to welcome guests and offer a variety of information as they arrive and navigate the Pier. Located in Polk Bros Park, the Pavilion features a 35-foot, state-of-the-art digital screen, which displays an overview of Navy Pier, Peoples Gas and Chicago’s shared history, in addition to sustainability facts and welcome greetings in various languages to honor the morethan-9 million diverse guests who visit the Pier annually. Designed by Gensler and constructed with energy efficiency in mind, the architecturally unique Peoples Energy Welcome Pavilion maximizes the guest experience while minimizing environmental impact. It features an energy-saving green roof, LED lighting and low-flow plumbing fixtures, making it 21 percent more efficient than a traditional structure. The facility also consists of conveniently located restrooms and communal seating areas, and matches the aesthetics of Navy Pier’s other recent renovations, which reflect the iconic destination’s bold, contemporary vision for its second century. The Peoples Energy Welcome Pavilion was brought to life thanks to a $5 million gift from Peoples Gas as a means to honor the 100+ year partnership with Navy Pier, one of the company’s first commercial customers. The

the company that welcomes our neighbors and millions of guests to Chicago’s premier lakefront destination every year,” said Peoples Gas President and CEO Charles Matthews. “Navy Pier’s rich programming, year-round activities and future redevelopment plans are well aligned with our commitment to our community through investments in education, arts and culture, neighborhood development, and the environment.” While the Peoples Energy Welcome Pavilion is now open to guests, Navy Pier and Peoples Gas will formally celebrate its opening with a special, private dedication ceremony on Thursday, September 20 at 5:30 p.m. The
facility is open and staffed yearround and will coincide with Navy Pier’s standard operational hours. The Peoples Gas gift is the latest major contribution to Navy Pier’s redevelopment efforts, following Fifth Third Bank’s recent investment in the newly renovated Fifth Third Bank Family Pavilion. The Pier has also previously received a legacy gift from the Polk Family and grants from Polk Bros. Foundation for Polk Bros Park and related programs, as well as generous support from Aon, recognized through the naming of the historic Aon Grand Ballroom.

(StatePoint) Parenthood is a demanding and busy job, particularly during back-toschool season. With lunches to pack, homework to check, projects to oversee and activities to drive the kids to and from, it’s no wonder many parents find it challenging to squeeze in time for self-care. But, if you want to keep up with your kids, it’s important to carve out time for healthy eating and exercise. Here are some ways to make more time for your own health, according to Courtney McCormick, dietitian for Nutrisystem.

Nothing makes mornings more chaotic than having to pack lunches while trying to get everyone out the door. And packing lunch in a pinch can leave you susceptible to making hasty choices. Take about 10 minutes in the evening to prepare the next day’s lunches; you will thank yourself in the morning when you have healthy meals and snacks packed and ready to roll for yourself and your kiddos. Other meal prep ideas: • Put together a bunch of meals on Sunday to simply pull out of the fridge and heat for quick, yet wholesome dinners on busy week nights. • Boil a dozen eggs for an easy protein-rich snack. Create baggie-sized portions of nuts and fruit. Prepping nourishing grab-and-go snacks for the afternoon crunch will help you stay on track. Walk on Your Lunch Break If you find yourself really strapped for workout time, try taking a 30-minute walk before eating your lunch. Even doing light cardiovascular exercise for a half hour can help you stay in shape and shed some pounds. Get the Kids Moving If you weren’t able to squeeze in a sweat session sans kids, round up the family and take a long, after-dinner stroll. Encourage
