Governor Bruce Rauner

By Ken Hare

Defender Contributing Writer

With Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner, and House Speaker Michael Madigan’s Democrat controlled House, the two sides have been at odds on how to fund the state budget since July, 2015. As a result of this political impasse, the legislature has seriously impacted the quality of life for its most vulnerable and needy citizens. Namely, low-to-moderate income families with children, senior citizens and the disabled.

At issue are two vital programs that have been the backbone for years to certain working class African American families struggling to make ends meet. The Child Care Assistance Program or CCAP whose funding was cut by Governor Rauner using the Governors’ emergency-rules making process, “essentially denied care to some 70,000 children,” according to an SEIU Healthcare Illinois press release.

IL State Rep. Ken Dunkin

Ken Dunkin’s Courage to Compromise The second was the Community Care Program (HB 2482), which was introduced to protect the choices that disabled and senior consumers have to make between choosing in-home care or nursing home services. The cuts to this program affected the determination of need (DON) score which affects who is eligible to receive benefits. Against this highly sensitive and politically charged atmosphere, Ken Dunkin, the self-described, Democratic “Independent” from Chicago finds himself front and center in the state’s budget crisis.

In what some House Democrats are hailing as the “ultimate betrayal” others are calling the compromise that Dunkin and other House Democrats worked out with Governor Rauner a victory. So, exactly what happened? Who participated? And

IL Speaker of the House, Mike Madigan who’s to blame, if any? And most importantly, where do we go from here?

In Dunkin’s own words, “Well, first of all, the Governor worked out a compromise with myself, along with the Senate sponsor (Toi Hutchinson),” Dunkin said. “And guess what? Everyone won.

We got the childcare funding and the eligibility restored. That was the purpose and the goal of my negotiations with the Governor, my insistence on him to restore the funding, the eligibility and to address the determination of need (DON). So his deal was, ‘Listen, don’t call the bill. I’ll restore the eligibility requirement.’ He went from 185 to 50 percent of the federal poverty level, he brought it back up to 162, based off the negotiations. That is a victory.”

A victory that was apparently shared by other Democrats as well, according to Toi Hutchinson, the sponsor of SB570. “I’d like to thank all the parents, providers and advocates who have stood beside me and Representative Gordon-Booth, as we sought to ensure that their voices were heard over the last month regarding SB570. My conversations with the Governors’ administration regarding the desperate need to give relief to daycare centers on the verge of closing any day now resulted in an agreement to hold SB570 in the Senate if it passed the House in exchange for raising the eligibility rate so that more children would have access to childcare immediately.

tect and we intend to hold them to that standard.”

Defender Contributing Writer

The University of Chicago’s Civil Rights and Police Accountability Clinic published their Citizens Police Data Project findings last week. This online project reveals misconduct complaints against police officers from March 2011, to September 2015, and those officers who have repeat offenses from 2000 to 2008. The public can access this data via the website at http/cpdb.co.

The Data Project reveals some 56,361 complaints, of which 96.28% were un-sustained not found to be credible by the Department and/or the Police Board. This means that of the 56,361 allegations (complaints) or 54,267 were deemed to be un-sustained and 2,094 were sustained.

The Invisible Institute founder and independent journalist, Jamie Kalven, obtained the information contained in the data base only after suing the city. Mr. Kalven was given valuable and essential support to analysis the data by Mr. Craig B. Futterman of the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic of the University of Chicago Law School. The City of Chicago has never willingly revealed information on police complaints or revealed the identity of officers under investigation, thus, the law suit was necessary.

Section 6.9 – Media Information Restrictions of the current Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) union contract states: “The identity of an Officer under investigation shall not be made available to the media unless there has been a criminal conviction or a deci-

The Chicago Defender reached out to the Chicago Police Department in an attempt to get a response to the statements of the Black Caucus and the publication of the Chicago Police Data Project and as of Defender’s publication deadline we have not received an answer. We will publish the answers when and if they are sent to us.

DEPARTMENT:

sion has been rendered by the Police Board (or by the Superintendent), except where required by law. However, if the Officer is found innocent, the Officer may request and the Department shall issue a public statement.”

Mr. Futterman, according to Channel 7 ABC News, said “What we saw was that officers who were repeatedly complained against, the odds of them receiving discipline was really low.” He further reminds us that at least one officer had as many as 68 complaints against him and he was promoted to detective.

Further, the record of Police Board findings for citizens against Chicago Police is almost nil, even in the advent of the body cameras, police car cameras and citizen videos.

This project comes on the heels of the ACLU’s agreement with the city to end its “Stop-and-Frisk” practices.

The Chicago City Council Black Caucus called for the firing of Superintendent McCarthy, and Mayor Emanuel declared that police officers have fallen victim to the “Ferguson Effect” and have become “fetal.” Black citizens are now even more determined to demand major changes in policing, especially since Black neighborhoods suffer the

most from crime, police brutality and police killings of Black citizens.

The major findings of the project are as follows: • That only ten percent of officers were accused of misconduct ten or more times, however, they make up some 30 percent of the complaints.

• Most officers, or some 80 percent, have zero to four complaints against them.

• The punishment for misconduct is extremely rare. Punishment for administrative misconduct such as outside jobs and proven sex crimes is less than that of offenses against citizens especially Black citizens. Thus, more than 80 percent of the disciplinary actions for misconduct resulted in zero to five days of suspension.

• While the punishment rarely fits the offense, Black officers are always found guilty of misconduct and given harsher punishment than that of their white counterparts.

All of these findings only confirm

THE CHIEF AND PUBLIC COMPLAINTS the conclusions that most Black citizens had already reached, i.e., there is no equality in the administration of justice by the Chicago Police Department! This conclusion accounts for the call to fire Superintendent McCarthy by the City Council Black Caucus.

The Chair of that Caucus, Alderman Rod Sawyer (21st), in an interview this week with the Defender, said that the “Caucus has not given up on its demand that Mr. McCarthy be fired.

However, we continue to dialogue with him and voice our demands for police accountability and diversity in the Department,” he added, “we have to answer to our constituents who are demanding that police serve and pro-

Meanwhile, a national study was recently released by the U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on police misconduct and harassment of Blacks backs up the Chicago Police Data Project and the recent studies of “Stop-and-Frisk in Chicago!”

“Black people are more than twice as likely as white people to have non-fatal force or the threat of it used against them during encounters with the police, according to a study by the US Department of Justice,” reports The Guardian newspaper, on Saturday, 14 November. This reality reminds Black people that the “Driving-WhileBlack” and “Walking-While-Black” (“Stop-and-Frisk”) practices have not ceased.

“An ongoing Guardian investigation has found Black people are being killed by police at twice the rate of white people, and that those Black people killed were twice as likely to have been unarmed.”

Lastly, this DOJ study found that “3.5% of Black people who had contact with police reported that during their most recent encounter officers either shouted, cursed or made threats; pushed, grabbed, hit or kicked them; used pepper spray or a Taser; or pointed a gun or used some other form of force,” says The Guardian.

It should be noted that President Barack Obama, while a member of the Illinois State Senate, sponsored and passed a bill that outlawed harassment of Blacks for “Driving-While-Black.”

However, there is very little evidence that this law has had the intended effect in stopping this abuse in the state and clearly not in the City of Chicago. www.chicagodefender.com

Dunkin, continued from Page 2

I know that some are disappointed in the failure of SB570 but I am grateful that the Governor did what he promised me he would and allowed 31,000 additional children per month to access childcare. This is what we have been fighting for. We aren’t 100 percent there yet, but I don’t want anyone to be discouraged.”

Nevertheless, not all who have been fighting for the cuts to be restored viewed the immediate partial restoration of benefits to thousands of families as a victory. Rather, a sabotage against the labor party’s efforts to fully restore the benefits while simultaneously stripping the Governor’s seat of its unilateral emergency-powers to make changes to both programs in the future.

“Let me be clear that no one bears more responsibility today for defeat of this legislation (SB570 & HB2482) which protects our children and child care in Illinois than Rep. Ken Dunkin himself,” Jaquie Algee, Vice President of SEIU Healthcare Illinois stated at a Mike Madigan sponsored press conference. She further accused Dunkin of breaking his promise to his constituents while single-handedly causing the failure of SB570.

Unlike his fellow democratic cohorts and numerous predecessors who tend to be party loyalist, Dunkin has decided to break rank and take the path less travelled. A wanderlust path aligning himself with the governor leaving many scratching their heads wondering if this is political suicide for Ken Dunkin or a new beginning, opening the door for others to start separating themselves from Madigan’s heavy hand that has had a stranglehold on the Black community for decades.

What are the Speaker’s sentiments about Dunkin’s defiance? “You know, Mr. Dunkin has now missed three votes where he apparently supported the Governor’s position,” Madigan said at a recent press conference. Regarding Dunkin’s re-election, Madigan says it’s something he’ll [Madigan] have to consider. www.chicagodefender.com

FRONT PAGE JUMP Meanwhile, back in Chicago, far from the excesses of passionate speeches and hollow-promises sits Ken Dunkin’s 5th Legislative District.

A swarthy, cut-out district that runs as far north as Division street, cutting through posh neighborhoods such as the Near North Side, North Michigan Ave. and the Gold Coast where some of Chicago’s ritziest addresses can easily fetch millions of dollars; to the southern end of the district that crosses through parts of Bronzeville, Woodlawn and South Shore.

“Well, first of all, the Governor worked out a compromise with myself, along with Senate sponsor (Toi Hutchinson),” Dunkin said.

“And guess what?

Everyone won.

We got the childcare funding and the eligibility restored.

Here, in the southern part of the district, is where you’ll find Dunkin’s constituents most likely affected by the immediate restoration of services.

Take Sister X, a working mother of two small children who asked not to be named. She cried upon hearing of the immediate restoration. Fearful that she would have to quit her job to look after her children, she resorted to taking out payday loans to pay for her monthly childcare bill which ran into the hundreds of dollars. “I no longer have to toss and turn at night wondering if I can pay for my childcare.

Similarly, Atlantris Muhummad, a home healthcare worker and SEIU Healthcare Illinois member states, “When Governor Rauner without legislative input, initially proposed to raise the DON score, which would have made thousands of seniors and people with disabilities ineligible for home care thus eliminating home care jobs, that could’ve directly impacted me. However, due to the outrage raised by the public and his own party members, the Governor backed down and made an amendment to the legislation that still allows him to make similar changes down the road.”

So who’s to blame, you might ask?

According to a well-connected Springfield insider, lets take a look at the man who would be king, Michael Madigan.

Some of the Democrats that had voted for SB570 in a 70 yea to 35 nay vote had already negotiated a compromise with the Governor to restore cuts, a day before SB570 was up for a vote. A compromise that included not stripping the Governor of his emergency-powers, in return for restored benefits to the CCAP and Community Care Programs. Then what would be the purpose of bringing SB570 to the floor for a vote that for one, you know it won’t pass, and secondly, you had just promised the day before that you wouldn’t support such a bill?

Unless, there was an ulterior motive, and quite possibly, there was.

According to Chicago Defender Political Editor Maze Jackson, “Black folks are more scared of people outside of their community than inside. That being stated, insiders know that the solidarity among Democrats is cracking.

While they won’t say publicly, several legislators have noted to me that the Speaker is so focused on beating Rauner that he is willing to take the entire state down to do it… I think we saw an example of that with his vote.”

In what could be considered a senseless vote, and a well orchestrated media smear campaign designed to vilify Dunkin and punish him for taking an independent stance, leaves the

voters with politics as usual in Springfield. Is this part of Madigan’s strategy of political posturing for the upcoming 2016 elections?

In parting, here’s what Dunkin had to say, “Let me be clear about what would have happened without a deal in place – what would have happened had the House or Senate passed SB570. Childcare income eligibility would have stayed at 50% of the federal poverty level for at least another

60 days as we waited for the Governor to veto the bill. Countless working moms and dads would have to quit their jobs and drop out of school.

Countless childcare providers would have gone out of business – leaving parents without childcare options even if the legislature eventually overrode the Governor’s veto in January. Letting that happen would mean breaking my promise to my constituents.”

E NOTES

By Kai EL’Zabar

Defender Executive Editor

Dangerous Dialog Monday morning, three days later in the fog of Friday’s Paris massacre aftermath, left in the mouths of many across the globe was a horrible taste.

The world, eager to hear what the leader of the western world had to say in response, sat listening to President Obama declare that his strategy for defeating ISIS or ISIL is working despite last week’s appalling attacks.

The President stood his ground in Antalya, Turkey before the G-20 Summit meeting as viewers around the world, watched him via television adamantly reject calls for escalating the use of military force in the Middle East or turning away Syrian refugees at home.

Question after question after question always went back to, are you sure that you’ve made the right choice on this? Over and over President Obama

defended the defense strategy implemented, opposing the suggestion that we send in more troops, saying, “Let’s assume that we were to send 50,000 troops into Syria,” he said. “What happens when there’s a terrorist attack generated from Yemen? Do we then send more troops into there? Or Libya perhaps? Or if there’s a terrorist network that’s operating anywhere else in North Africa or in Southeast Asia?”

He explained, “If you have a handful of people who don’t mind dying, they can kill a lot of people.” “That’s one of the challenges of terrorism. It’s not their sophistication or the particular weaponry that they possess. But it is the ideology they carry with them and their willingness to die.”

As he closed, the President said, “We have the right strategy and we’re going to see it through,” He assured us that he would intensify targeted airstrikes and assistance to local ground forces in Syria and Iraq, but it will take time to cripple the terrorist group.

He dismissed critics who faulted his approach, accusing them of trying to profit politically from the episode. He also said if there are those who think they have a better plan than my advisors then we need to sit down and talk. His frustration seemed a result of being second guessed.

And perhaps with good reason. First, we as a public are not the president. We are not privy to the information that the executive branch of the U.S. is. We are always surmising what we think should be done and how it should be done. It’s the privilege of freedom and yet it’s also our arrogance to think that we know better than those who are experts in the matter, coupled with moment-to-mo-

ment hands-on knowledge and information pertaining to the situation.

More to our concerns, the President expressed passion for his position to allow the Syrian refugees to enter America and rebuffed suggestions by some Republican presidential candidates, governors and other elected officials who have suggested that the US block their entry or take a religion test. To that Obama had this to say, “The people who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism; they are the most vulnerable as a consequence of civil war and strife,” Mr. Obama said. He added: “We do not close our hearts to these victims of such

violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism.”

Without calling former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida by name, who is a current Republican presidential candidate seeking to succeed him, for suggesting the United States focus special attention on Christian refugees; the President retorted “That’s shameful.” “That’s not American. It’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion.”

Meanwhile in America there are millions of poor, living in poverty, deprived

President/Publisher: Cheryl Mainor of the opportunities, abundance and self-expression that America represents and promises; who have suffered the atrocities of living under terrorism. So, that open arms are welcome to those thousands of miles away and outside of our domain and distant in life philosophy seems a cold slap in the face of the many whose lives have been turned upside down by the state of modern current affairs. Those who experienced a decent middle class life suddenly saw their lives crash when the real estate market crashed and are still working on the long climb up to rebound the life they once experienced.

“Ain’t we Americans? Don’t we deserve your compassion? We have repeatedly spoken our vision to experience respect, equality and the right to be in the country we call home.”

They are the fortunate poor, because they are skilled, educated and experienced. They can turn their lives around.

The poor, uneducated, and hopeless that live under inhumane circumstances and suffer deprivation are less fortunate.

Generations and generations repeat the life that their parents have lived before them because too often the uneducated poor begat the uneducated.

We have lived long enough now to know that the old adage that ignorance is bliss is false. Ignorance is not a pass to nirvana. And as Black people the time is now to stop waiting on a Messiah, and or white folks to rescue us.

I say this knowing that we have accomplished much against all odds and believe me; the bets have been against us. Still we rise and yet too many of us in America and those of African ancestry throughout the world suffer destitution.

If you think that’s a coincidence then you are naïve.

‘Black Wall Streets’ were built throughout the country, Tulsa, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, St Louis, Detroit, where urban Blacks built communities based around Black business and commerce. More often than not, they were terrorized by whites, who just didn’t want to see us succeed. The Tulsa story is

just one of many, but history documents the struggle to succeed that continues.

We have bore witness to the numerous immigrants who come to America—the country built upon our backs, spirituality, intellect, grace and manners and succeed at accelerated speed surpassing the growth and development of our businesses and communities. Most of the time their growth has been at our expense and exploitation, whether it’s the Asians selling hair, hair products, nail salons, and spas, or the Arabs with their makeshift grocery stores, and all the rest; butcher shop, hardware, jewelry store, etc., owned by whites.

Blacks were often denied loans for businesses and thus the circumstances of our neighborhoods with Black residents/home owners and other business owners. This leads to a perpetuation of failed vision. When our children see only others in position of independence and power it becomes the norm. They don’t aspire to be shop owners or business leaders. They find other means to survive—often illegal. Broken families follow this scenario as do the gangs which substitute for the absent father or need for protection and being provided for.

So when the President speaks of the ‘American Way’ to borrow from our Sister Sojourner Truth we ask, “Ain’t we Americans? Don’t we deserve your compassion? We have repeatedly spoken our vision to experience respect, equality and the right to be in the country we call home.

So to add insult to injury at the idea of allowing 100,000 Syrians in the country without first having shown concern for our portion of the population, which has played a very integral role in the building and evolution of America, we say WAIT A MINUTE HERE. We are the compassionate. You can’t deny that. As a people we have forgiven the people who meant us no good and caused us the most harm and detrimennt on levels so deep that we continue to suffer its intentions.

And let it be very clear that we are not against demonstrating our ‘Good Samaritan’ compassion towards refugees. We just want to know why the same compassion is not shown to those that look like us . . . the Haitians, Black Cubans, Africans who needed exile, and by the way, where are Our Girls and when will they be brought back? And of course where is the compassion towards us?

Defender Senior Staff Writer

O

mar Tyree is riding high on the sweet smell of success.

With twenty-eight titles written and published since penning his first novel, “The Diary of a Freshman” at age 23, we are not surprised that he is one of the most recognizable names in modern African-American literature. Tyree’s latest book, “All Access,” is about the intrusive world of having too much access to our individual lives.

Tyree explained, “With the technology of social media: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, we witness people doing similar things when you are allowed into their world-- inside their house, inside their dorm rooms, inside their bathrooms. It’s become the new norm. So, I asked the question, ‘How much of your private life are you willing to expose for fame?’ That is what they’re seeking. They want to become famous from their exposure. That’s the book that I wanted to write,” He said. “I created a broadcast journalist, who is given an all access pass into the life of a guy who is always getting in trouble.

When the all access pass is extended to her she inherits his trouble. She is then viewed as an extension of his world yet she has a husband, kids and a normal family life.”

The book centers around the two fictional characters, Judy Pierce an Atlanta broadcast news anchor and Shawn Blake, a temperamental superstar who constantly finds himself in precarious situations which bring drama into his personal life. Tyree poses the questions, ‘How much exposure is too much exposure?’ And ‘has the fast lane of grabbing short headlines and instant clicks gone too far between the media, publicity teams and bringing personal battles into the public?’

Omar Tyree: Shooting From the Hip

“When you see that lifestyle mixed with a ‘normal’ lifestyle, you can see how quickly it can escalate. The reality is that most people on reality shows are viewed as crazy anyway and those who have been in the industry are known as such within their family. However, if you’re a normal person and your family calls up to ask ‘What is this X, Y and Z, I heard that you were doing?’ that’s not normal. So, I wanted to give people a taste of that and flip it on its head and take it to the extreme,” Tyree said.

“I looked at the Ray Rice situation where he knocked his wife out in the elevator. They worked out the situation between the two of them and moved passed it. Then, TMZ intrudes on their personal life with the video, broadcasting to the whole world. When I saw the video over and over again – I thought more about the wife than anything. Who wants to see themselves get knocked out like that?” Tyree said.

“The whole world wanted her be the victim-- like she’d been beat all of the time. I observed her body language. I saw that she’s a hard woman who got caught in a situation where now, she couldn’t deny it.”

Tyree the kind of writer who needs to sit in an isolated room to get in touch

08 November 18 - 24, 2015 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

He was twenty-six. Since then, Tyree has written a range of books from fictional novels for mature readers to penning children’s story books.

with feelings to let the words flow onto the page. He’s a journalist who likes to get out in the field and find out what’s on people’s minds.

He has become a prolific and popular American writer encompassing life observations and current affairs from an urban Black perspective. He grew up in Philadelphia, graduated from Central High School, and attended University of Pittsburgh as a pharmacy major and aspiring football player.

It was there that he penned his first three novels and decided to transfer to Howard University from which he graduated cum laude, with a degree in Print Journalism.

During his early years as a writer, still a student at Howard, he established his own publishing company.

After graduating, Simon & Shuster offered the young talent a $250,000 advance for a two-book publishing deal.

Over 300 of his articles have appeared in Black publications over the years as a columnist. His books have generated 2.5 million copies, sold worldwide bringing close to $30 million over his career span.

Tyree likes to describe his approach as an inside look at realism with a touch of street swagger and truth. He unapologetically shoots from the hip and says, “I’m old school so I write with an intention – it has a purpose for me. I’m not just creating something because a tree hit me upside the head, no – I don’t create stuff that way. I’m very calculated in what I do,” he said.

Tyree enthusiastically breaks down his books. “Every single book that I’ve published, I can sum up in one subjective word. Fly Girl is about materialism.

Do Right Man is about integrity. Single Mom is about family. Sweet St. Louis is about love. For the Love of Money is about art. Just Say No is about indulgence. Leslie is about poverty. Diary of a Groupie is about being opportunistic

Today, the bookselling/publishing world has had to succumb to competition with big chain cyber-hubs such as Amazon.com. The economic backlash of this reality is that brick and mortar stores are a dying breed, forcing many authors to create their own publishing companies. The days of jockeying traditional publishing houses are not the same. So Tyree recently launched his own publishing imprint OTI (Omar Tyree Incorporated) with “All Access” as the company’s first book release.

He’s excited about his latest ventures, which include lecturing and consulting aspiring writers. “I’m reinventing the wheel. I’m going manage distribution of my books, and my own set up. We’ve lost a lot of bookstores, and some publishers are scared now.

They’re not putting the same money on the table, or marketing and I’m looking at that and saying, ‘Why would I put my book in their hands if they don’t have confidence anymore in what they’re doing?’”

Just like independent music artists, writers find themselves doing a great deal of the heavy lifting. However, writers like Tyree see this movement as an asset and not a liability. Both Code Black Productions and Lions Gate Films have picked up the film production of Tyree’s classic “Fly Girl” trilogy starring notable actress, Sanaa Lathan (Love & Basketball, Brown Sugar, The Best Man, Best Man Holiday, The Perfect Guy), which is slated for a late 2016 release.

“This whole thing now is about my execution. Just knowing that I have a film coming out next year is like riding a tidal wave with my new book as my back up. I want to get out in front of the wave so that I can control it then I can roll out a new OTI book,” he smiles confidently. “I got this old brick truck coming behind me, it’s like when you’re picking a fight because you know you have 50 cousins coming – that’s what I’m doing right now and I’m feeling great.”

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER • November 18 - 24, 2015 09

BUSINESS Mary L. Datcher Defender Senior Staff Writer As Chicagoans transition from the fall season into the winter months, our energy usage increases. Battling the brutal weather in this town is no joke and as the cost of living continues to rise, it is important to find efficient ways to save on our utility bill.

ComEd is leading the charge by bringing smart programs for their Illinois and Northern Indiana customers.

In the last few years, the Exelon owned company has made it their mission to be everywhere, leaving a blueprint throughout various municipalities, of community engagement and continuous ways to utilize smart technology to benefit consumers.

The Chicago Defender wanted to see how effective some of the programs are that ComEd offers to its customers from the small business owners and non-profit organizations to residential consumers. The Chicago Defender had a chance to talk with some key individuals who’ve benefited from the Peak Savings Time, Smart Meter, and Energy Efficiency programs.

Bronzeville’s West Point Baptist Church is one of the oldest African American churches on the South Side of Chicago. Annie Russell is the trustee chairperson and was encouraged by a fellow trustee to check out ComEd’s Energy Management program which has made a difference in the church’s expenses. She said, “We’ve seen a

reduction in our ComEd bill which is the first thing. The second thing is that we have energy efficient light controls in the church which is one of things that has reduced our bill. By following ComEd’s recommendations, we’ve substantially reduced the usage of the extension cords and electrical strips in the building. That was causing a lot of use of energy,” Russell said.

Located on 36th and Cottage Grove, the church maintains several buildings making it an expensive process. This type of program is one that she would highly recommend to other organizations trying to find ways of saving on energy and costs.

“We have old buildings so utilities are a big expense. How we can save on this portion and use this money for something else? Basically, we’ve been able to divert some of the funds that we’ve saved by being on this program to some of the ministries’ activities outside of the church,” She said.

“It allows us to do more because the church is based on helping other people, not just in-house but also outside.

That has been a significant process as far as we’re concerned.”

ComEd is pushing forward with the implementation of the smart grid.

Former State Representative, Marlow Colvin has been with ComEd for the last three years as the VP of Governmental Affairs and discusses maintaining the old electrical grid with the least cost. With the grid being more than 100 years old, repairs are made to keep it functional. So as communities in Illinois and Northern Indiana contin-

ue to grow, he said, the demands for safe, reliable and affordable electricity continually flows. The challenges of doing that economically was proving to be challenging.

Colvin said, “As a result of the General Assembly contemplation, ComEd was able to tag the Electric Infrastructure Modernization Act that allows ComEd to invest with confidence and reliability to recover some $2.6 billion in updating and upgrading smart grids.

That didn’t come easy. The General Assembly placed a lot of demands on the company that we would improve reliability, create jobs, build training centers and would teach the new generation of electric utility workers our prime work in our industry. We would also invest dollars to low income families who would be faced with the challenge of that $2.6 billion.”

In their goal to make good on their commitment to both Illinois legislators and community groups, the company fulfilled their goals before the projected deadline. “I am proud to say that ComEd delivered in all of those promises. In fact, we have greatly exceeded in those promises. As result of our great modernization, ComEd has added more than 2500 jobs,” he said.

“We invested $50 million over the five-year life of the program to help senior citizens, low income families, veterans and non-profit organizations

who are struggling to meet their energy bills with direct assistance.”

One of the company’s most successful residential features is the Peak Savings Time program which allows consumers to save during usage at the highest usage time—typically between 11am to 7pm during the summer.

ComEd customer, Daniel Anthony, maintains a busy schedule as a bank associate and was grateful when he enrolled in the program.

“I was a bit apprehensive about joining because I didn’t like the reminder of my usage, but it’s ended up being a great benefit. While I was at work, I forgot to adjust my thermostat and on a hot summer day, I received an alert saying I was eligible for Peak Time Savings and asked if I would like for ComEd to adjust my thermostat”?

Anthony said. “I clicked ‘yes’ and then it alerted me that it was adjusted and lowered. I think it was beneficial and I’m happy with the program.”

The Smart Ideas Energy Efficiency Program has helped small business owner, Kiela Upton-Smith and her husband, a retired fireman who own a home in the Bronzeville neighborhood. Smith first heard about the program at a local CAPS meeting and eventually after having a conversation with a ComEd field representative at the “National Night Out” community event. Immediately, they scheduled an appointment at the Smith’s home and

a ComEd associate began to assess their home.

“We live in a two-flat and he was able to do both units on the same day which was great. He replaced all of our incandescent bulbs. In our bathrooms, the designers built it where we have the globe bulbs and in our upstairs bathroom we had eight and downstairs we had four bulbs,” She said. “I’m always screaming at my kids, ‘Turn the lights down in the bathroom!’. They were burning eight bulbs at a time. They replaced a programmable thermostat in both units which was great because I forget to turn down the temperature down.”

In addition, ComEd changed the aerators in both the Smith’s bathroom and kitchen sinks, where they witnessed an automatic difference in the savings on both water and gas bills.

The programs the company offers are making a difference in various ways behind the legislative powers that be, technology upgrades, small business and non-profit organizations—the results are having a domino effect of savings.

Smith happily adds, “They’ve already went to my mom’s house, another friend’s house and I’ve already recommended this to my kid’s school principal. I realized that in tiny ways, we’ve already paid for it already. It’s just a good thing – who doesn’t want to save money, right?” www.chicagodefender.com

ABUNDANCE BAKERY

SHARES ITS ABUNDANCE

Elyse Edmonds Defender Contributing Writer William Ball, proprietor of Abundance Bakery humbly says, “We’re just happy to be here and to continue to open our doors to our customers.” On the eve of his business anniversary he says humbly that he has been blessed to run the family owned business since 1990. Located at 105 East 47th Street on the periphery of Hyde Park and Kenwood, in the heart of Bronzeville, Abundance Bakery celebrates its 25th year of business today, November 18, 2015.

Mr. Ball says, “My roots sprouted in Bronzeville, I grew up with my mother and father at 4218 South Champlain until we moved further south to Park Manor, where I completed my formative years.”

After high school, more fortunate than

most, his parents provided his higher education experience at Tennessee State University, in Nashville, where he studied Business Administration.”

Ball speaks of having worked for the City of Chicago Streets and Sanitation and Public Library long enough to realize that he’d really rather work for himself.

He wanted to produce products of his own and sell them. The timing wasn’t right then so he began a sales career with GTE Mobile Communications. Traveling the daily commute computed into wasted hours that he was no longer willing to give to someone else. So he made the move.

“My mother had worked as head baker at the Kenwood High school but everyone cooked in our household.” Ball says,” That inspired me to take my mother’s pound cake recipes, bake the cakes in my home and to sell them to friends

LOCAL NEWS and restaurants.” At one point in time he sold pound cakes to 20 plus restaurants. He smiles as he reminisced, how his mother’s guidance was a tremendous stepping-stone in propelling him into his baking ventures and mainstay. He continued to bake out of his home for a year, until he found the 105 East 47th street location where the bakery has been for the last 25 years.

Although he had moved into the shop he continued to supply restaurants with his mother’s (recipe) pound cake while at the bakery he forged ahead building the business selling butter cookies and pound cakes. Over the years Abundance added to its menu and has come to be known for its ‘upside caramel cupcakes, apple pecan bread pudding and caramel brownies that are worth driving cross town for.

“We have always strived to be a cornerstone in the community,” Bill says.

Clearly, Abundance bakery has become a solid fixture in the community, which has undergone major transformation.

Ball explains that the removal of Public housing equated to some 70,000 people making an exodus from the community

Ball proudly boasts that, “We have made millions of donuts, cakes and cookies, we have celebrated thousands of birthdays and weddings. But most importantly we have also managed to feed thousands of economically challenged in homeless shelters.” Ball mentions that they have participated numerous summers with the City of Chicago and New Horizons youth work and mentoring programs.

Abundance has enjoyed some modicum of fame as a feature in “Taste of Chicago,” on “WGN-TV Chicago’s Very Own,” as well as “Chicago’s Best.”

The Bronzeville neighborhood has transformed from the impoverished state that it once was in too reaching a renewed potential to become a striving cosmopolitan community where Blacks had settled during the Great Migration.

Ball says, “ God willing, we look forward to continued growth and expansion.”

Black America

Bipolar Disorder Eleana Elan Defender Contributing Writer What does Maia Campbell of “In the House,” rapper DMX, Actress Jennifer Lewis, Former “Saved

By The Bell” star Lark Voorhies, Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall, recording artist Chris Brown, actress Lisa Nicole Carson, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. and Ivy McQuain media consultant and producer of film shorts series, “I am Young Black and Bipolar,” all have in common?

They all suffer Bipolar Disorder, which is one of many mood disorders. To be better informed you should know that there are several kinds of bipolar disorder. Each is defined by the length, frequency and pattern of episodes of mania and depression.

Bipolar I Disorder Bipolar I disorder is the most severe form of the illness marked by extreme manic episodes.

Bipolar I disorder is characterized by one or more manic episodes or mixed episodes (symptoms of both a mania and a depression occurring nearly every day for at least one week) and one or more major depressive episodes.

Bipolar II Disorder “Bipolar II disorder is a treatable condition that affects parts of the brain controlling emotion, thought and drive and is most likely caused by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.” Bipolar II disorder is diagnosed after one or more major depressive episodes and at least one episode of hypomania, with possible periods of level mood between episodes.

The highs in bipolar II, called hypomanias, are not as high as those in bipolar I (manias).

Bipolar II disorder is sometimes misdiagnosed as major depression if hypomanic episodes go unrecognized or unreported. If you have recurring depressions that go away periodically and then return, ask yourself if you have also: • Had periods (lasting four or more days) when your mood was especially or abnormally energetic or irritable?

• Were you: • Feeling abnormally self-confident or social?

• Needing less sleep or more energetic?

• Unusually talkative or hyper?

• Irritable or quick to anger?

• Thinking faster than usual?

• More easily distracted/having trouble concentrating?

• More goal-directed or productive at work, school or home?

• More involved in pleasurable activities, such as spending or sex?

• Did you feel or did others say that you were doing or saying things that were unusual, abnormal or not like your usual self?

If so, talk to your health care provider about these energetic episodes, and find out if they might be hypomania. Getting a correct diagnosis of bipolar II disorder can help you find treatment that may also help lift your depression.

Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) Bipolar disorder that does not follow a particular pattern (for example, re-occuring hypomanic episodes without depressive symptoms, or very

rapid swings between some symptoms of mania and some symptoms of depression) is called bipolar disorder Not Otherwise Specified (NOS).

Cyclothymia Cyclothymia is a milder form of bipolar disorder characterized by several hypomanic episodes and less severe episodes of depression that alternate for at least two years. The severity of this illness may change over time.

Rapid Cycling Bipolar disorder with rapid cycling is diagnosed when a person experiences four or more manic, hypomanic, or depressive episodes in any 12-month period. Rapid cycling can occur with any type of bipolar disorder, and may be a temporary condition for some people.

Diagnosis DBSA has found that nearly 7 of every 10 people with bipolar disorder are misdiagnosed at least once, and that the average length of time from a person’s first bipolar symptoms to correct diagnosis and treatment is 10 years. One of the reasons for this is that many people don’t report all of their symptoms. Most often because the symptoms are behaviors that they have come to accept as who they are.

Many people don’t report symptoms of mania or hypomania because they feel good and it often doesn’t feel like an illness.

Further the most prominent reason in the Black community is the stigma that accompanies any sort of mental illness, which translates as meaning that the person diagnoses with Bipolar disorder is crazy when in fact they suffer the causes of a chemical imbalance that affects their brains responses.

If you exhibit any signs remotely close to those described do not attempt to diagnose yourself.

To be sure schedule a doctors appointment and discuss your behavioral changes and shift in mood. Allow the doctor to determine or distinguish whether or not your symptoms are bipolar or ordinary mood swings.

Here are some symptoms of being bipolar: Inability to complete tasks Having a house full of half-completed projects is a hallmark of bipolar disorder. People who can harness their energy when they are in a hypomanic phase can be really productive.

Irritability Some people with this condition suffer from “mixed mania,” where they experience symptoms of mania and depression at the same time. During this state, they are often extremely irritable.

Rapid speech Some people are naturally talkative; we all know fast talkers. But “pressured speech” is one of the most common symptoms of bipolar disorder.

Sleep problems People with this condition often have sleep problems. During a depression phase, they may sleep too much and feel tired all the time.

Bipolar disorder can be managed with medication.

With recipes inspired by Black family celebratioFried pickles are a Southern dish I never heard of until I was an adult with many recipes tucked in my notebook. But one day on a trip to the Magnolia state, my friend, Joanna, introduced me to the notion. Those of you who share a curious cook’s willingness to experiment with new tastes will appreciate how those first bites into the pickle chips Joanna once described as “the double order we’re going to fight over” at Tunica, Mississippi’s Hollywood Cafe, inspired many test kitchen experiments.

Still fine-tuning, a recent pickle fry with a newly opened jar of pungent dill pickles, may have swung my appreciation pendulum away from chips to spears, based on appetizers I’ve learned may have originated in the Duchess Drive-In, in Arkansas, which was conveniently located near the Atkins Pickle factory before both businesses closed more than a decade ago.

ed how my grandmother defended some of our family’s treasured dishes to me when my nose turned up at passed-down recipes for fried oysters and fish.

“The giant difference between fried fast food and our method consists of just about everything…quality oil used only once; finely crushed cracker meal; a consistent frying temperature and a properly drained finished dish,” Granny had said, emphasizing her point with fashion model’s hand movements pointing out her still graceful figure.

In addition to the pickles, inexpensive, pre-sliced button mushrooms offered a delicious bite of flavor when they caught my attention stored on the shelf near the pickle spears.

the years for which the taxes are due.

Please note, where an “E” indicator appears immediately before a PIN in the column marked “CUR”, the real estate corresponding to said PIN may currently not be subject to taxation or may currently be owned by a governmental agency whose interest in the property may not be defeated by a tax deed.

Where an asterisk appears immediately before a PIN in the column marked “CUR”, the real estate corresponding to said PIN may have been sold at a previous sale of delinquent taxes.

In lieu of a legal description, each parcel of land or lot is designated by a Property Index Number (PIN).

Comparison of the 14-digit PIN with the legal description of any parcel may be made by referring to records that are maintained in the various Cook County offices.

The delinquent taxes on the parcels offered for sale are described solely by their Property Index Number (PIN), and NOT the common street address. Street addresses and classifications of the property listed on the sale list as of the date of sale are not guaranteed to be accurate. The Treasurer’s Office does not guarantee or assume responsibility of any kind, implied or otherwise, as to the accuracy of street addresses or property classifications, or as to the legal status or physical condition of the properties. It is the responsibility of each tax buyer to perform proper research to determine the property location, classification, nature, and condition of any property or improvements prior to the sale. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. With respect to parcels bearing an “E” (currently exempt) indicator, tax purchasers are encouraged to further investigate the taxable status of such a parcel before purchasing the delinquent taxes at the sale. When the tax sale of a currently exempt parcel is vacated, the final result may be a refund without interest.

NO TAX BUYER IS ELIGIBLE TO OBTAIN A TAX DEED FOR ANY PROPERTY OWNED BY A UNIT OF GOVERNMENT. IF AND WHEN THE TAX SALE OF SUCH PROPERTY IS VACATED, THE RESULT MAY BE A REFUND WITHOUT INTEREST.
