Karonisha Ramsey, mother of Kajuan Raye, spoke briefly at a vigil near the spot. By Erick Johnson Defender Staff Writer The investigation has begun and the clock is ticking. To charge or not to charge will eventually be the question prosecutors face as they wrestle with the thought of locking up a police officer who has allegedly used deadly force to kill an unarmed man. Chicago Police Sgt. John Poulos did it twice in the past three years. On both occasions he said the suspect had a gun that was never found. The officer who was cleared in 2013 for taking out a 28year man with a mental condition killed Kajuan Raye on Nov. 23. Raye’s family believes the 19-yearold perhaps would have been alive today had 44-year-old Poulos been charged and convicted in 2013, when he gave a false narrative for shooting an unarmed suspect. Now, as Raye’s family prepares to bury him, their grief is compounded by days and months of waiting to learn whether his killer will face trial for something he did once before. It’s a police case with a double dose of pain and grief. Poulos, who has had nine complaints filed against him during his law enforcement career, is an officer whose case is a compelling one to follow with two similar incidents that show a disturbing pattern of police behavior. Bringing a police officer to justice has been nearly impossible for the nation’s prosecutors. Without a charge, officers can’t be brought to justice. The first step of charging them with murder is usually the first big hump for families seeking jus-

tice for their loved ones while making sure rogue officers never do it again. And while getting a murder charge is difficult, getting an officer convicted is even harder. But for families seeking to get officers in the courtroom, they must wait and sometimes plead or fight with prosecutors to charge an officer with murder. Historically, many Chicago police officers have escaped punishment. Out of 400 cases, the Independent Police Review Panel since 2007 found two officers guilty of wrongdoing. Without IPRA’s blessing, it is difficult to get a prosecutor to file a charge against an officer. For the small fraction that make it to this level, patience can be painful for families of shooting victims.

Waiting for Justice In high-profile police shootings, families in Chicago usually wait more than twice as long for a decision whether to charge an officer than other cases nationwide, according to a survey by the Chicago Defender. While the average wait time for a decision whether to charge an officer was nine months for families around the country, in Chicago the process has taken an average of 15 months. Just four months after he killed Philandro Castro in Minneapolis on July 6, 2016, Officer Jeronimo Yanez was charged with manslaughter and two counts of dangerously discharging a firearm. It took only two months for prosecutors to charge Officer Michael Slager with murder after he shot Walter Scott five times during a traffic stop on April 4, 2015, in North Charleston, South Carolina. In the past week, the nation watched

as the jury struggled to decide whether to convict the 35-year old officer of murder. The jury was ultimately hung. In Chicago, it took outgoing Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez 20 months to charge officer Dante Servin with involuntary manslaughter after he killed Rekia Boyd on March 21, 2012. The case fell through in court when a judge ruled that prosecutors brought the wrong charge against Servin. And families of Laquan McDonald and Ronald Johnson III had to wait 13 months for Alvarez to decide whether to bring charges against the officers who killed the Black men. While Chicago police officer George Hernandez was not charged for using unnecessary deadly force in killing Johnson, Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder for shooting McDonald 16 times on Oct. 20, 2014. Alvarez was eventually voted out of office after facing heavy criticism for waiting 13 months to bring charges against Van Dyke. Nearly one year after Quintonio LeGrier and Bettie Jones were killed in their apartment building on the West Side, their families are still waiting to see whether Officer Robert Rialmo will be charged with using deadly force to subdue LeGrier, a mentally ill man who was shot four times. IPRA is still investigating that case. There is also an ongoing IPRA investigation in the case involving 18-year-old Paul O’Neal, who was shot in the back July 28 by Officer Jose Diaz after a high-speed chase in the South Shore neighborhood. Now, IPRA is investigating the case involving Poulos. It’s the first step that could help prosecutors decide whether to continued on page 3

In the complaint, Ramsey accuses Poulos of violating her son’s constitutional rights when he killed Raye. It’s the second lawsuit in three years that accused Poulos of lying after he killed an unarmed Black man.

file a murder charge against him. But with the Cook County state’s attorney’s office in transition and the Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA) in its final days before a new agency starts in January, it could be awhile before Poulos’ case will reach the desk of a prosecutor. And at this point, there is no guarantee that murder charge will be issued. There’s no particular time frame that requires prosecutors to bring charges against a police officer who’s accused of using deadly force to subdue a civilian. A spokesperson for the state’s attorney’s office told the Chicago Defender that police shootings are evaluated on “a case-by-case basis.” But the case involving Raye and his killer may be strong enough for prosecutors to file charges. Poulos twice gave a false narrative after he used deadly force under very similar circumstances. Poulos’ latest shooting came on Nov. 23. According to police, at 11:07 p.m. on the eve of Thanksgiving, Poulos saw Raye at a bus stop in West Englewood. Police say Raye matched the description from a dispatch call, which said a suspect committed battery on a person at the 1400 block of West 65th Street. Police said Raye fled after Poulos approached him. During the chase, police said Raye turned around and pointed a gun at him twice. Fearing for his safety, Poulos

Earlier Killing

Rickey Rozelle was killed in 2013 by the same officer who killed Kajuan Raye.

“In high-profile police shootings, families in Chicago usually wait more than twice as long for a decision whether to charge an officer than other cases nationwide.” said he fired two shots at Raye, who later died at Advocate Christ Hospital. An autopsy revealed that Raye had died from a gunshot wound in his back. While Poulos said Raye had a gun, a grid search for the weapon turned up emp-

ty. Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson stripped Poulos of his police powers, but the officer still remains on the force, pending an investigation. Poulos’ name initially wasn’t released to the media after the shooting, but he was

In 2013, Poulos shot and killed 28-yearold Rickey Rozelle in a case that’s eerily similar to Raye’s. In this case, Poulos shot Rozelle as he was breaking into a building from a second-floor back porch. Poulos, who was off duty at the time, called 911 and ended up killing Rozelle in the 1900 block of North Lincoln Avenue. Poulos said Rozelle threatened to kill him with “a shiny metallic object in or near his hand.” No gun was ever found and Poulos was cleared after IPRA said the officer did nothing wrong. In April, Rozelle’s family filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city and Poulos. The complaint says there was no need for Poulos to use deadly force and that Rozelle was not armed when he was killed. Rozelle’s sister, Kenyatta Hill Cotton, wants federal officials to reopen the case and re-examine the way IPRA handled the case. In the meantime, two grieving families are scrambling for answers as they wait for justice.

Kanye’s Childhood Home Could Become Arts Incubator By Erick Johnson

By Erick Johnson

Defender Staff Writer It sat vacant in the South Shore neighborhood for years. Every day, thousands of drivers on South Shore Drive would zoom past a small crumbling baby blue-colored house, whose boarded-up windows and peeling paint was where one of the world’s most famous recording artists grew up. Now, excitement is brewing in the predominantly Black neighborhood after rapper Rhymefest purchased the wooden, one-story structure that was the childhood home of mega superstar Kanye West. Rhymefest, West’s longtime collaborator, who co-wrote Grammyand Oscar-winning hits for his friend, wants to turn the house into a creative arts incubator, recording studio and music museum. The home where West began discovering his talents will now be used as a performance arts venue for aspiring musicians. Rhymefest made the announcement on Instagram Nov. 28. “I’m excited to announce the purchase of Kanye’s childhood home as a community arts incubator,” he wrote. “It will be first of our Nationwide Lite-Houses. We want to show bright spots in communities that have been divested from, we know more lights exist here, they just need to be activated.” For Rhymefest, the project is the latest chapter in a career that continues to merge art with activism as he seeks to inject new life into the South Shore neighborhood. “Small programs like this just need a place to be,” Rhymefest said during a telephone call with the Chicago Defender. Workers have already begun renovating the 1,000 square foot, two-story home, located in the 7800 block of South Shore Drive. Rhymefest said the home’s interior will be totally restructured to create rooms for classes, a recording studio and museum. Rhymefest estimates the project will take six months to a year to complete. Rhymefest said he is talking to several arts organization to hold activities at the new facility. He said one of them is Second City, the legendary theater organization that historically has produced artists for NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Rhymfest said the facility will also become the new headquarters of Donda’s House, a non-profit arts education project Rhymefest founded in 2013 in honor of West’s late mother,

“Rhymefest said he is talking to several arts organization to hold activities at the new facility.” who died in 2007. Since its creation, Donda’s House has operated in various locations in Chicago. The announcement boosted the spirits of some residents in the neighborhood, which is dotted with motels and old apartment buildings along South Shore Drive. Rhymfest said he hopes the facility would help rejuvenate the area. “I think it’s a good idea,” said 48-year-old George Scott, who has lived next to West’s former home for six years. Another neighbor, Jim Reynolds, lived next to West’s childhood home for more than 30 years. Reynolds said when West was a little boy, he took him to the park to cheer him up whenever he was sad. “He used to sit on the steps on the porch with his thumbs in his mouth and crying all the time,” Reynolds recalled. Many prominent Blacks who excelled in music, business, media, politics and sports grew up in Chicago, but West’s childhood home is one of few historical structures that will get

a second life. The project will be the latest achievement for Rhymefest, who co-wrote West’s Grammy-award winning hit “Jesus Walks.” With another famous Chicago native, rapper Common (Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr.) and singer John Legend, Rhymefest won an Oscar for writing the theme song to the 2014 civil rights film “Selma.” Rhymefest and West met at a party on the South Side when they were 15. Since then, Rhymefest has helped West with several of his music projects.

Return to Chicago

West has achieved worldwide fame and success for his groundbreaking music and showmanship. Since dropping out at Chicago State University, West has sold millions of albums and has become one of the highest-grossing hip hop artists of all time. In December 2011, West returned to Chicago to visit his old childhood home. Neighbors poured into the streets to see West, who brought along his longtime mentor, hip hop mogul Jay Z. Reynolds said he wasn’t home to see West’s return home. He said he heard about it after it happened. West was recently hospitalized for a week while being treated for exhaustion, which forced the rapper to cancel numerous concert appearances.

Chicago is mourning the tragic death of boxer Ed Brown, who was killed in a senseless shooting in the city over the weekend. Reports say that on Saturday, Brown, 25, and a 19-year old woman were sitting in a parked vehicle about 1:10 a.m. in the 3200 block of West Warren Boulevard in the East Garfield Park neighborhood when a silver vehicle pulled up and someone inside shot at them, Chicago police said. Brown was shot Ed Brown multiple times, including in the head, and the woman was struck in the left leg, police said. Both victims were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. Brown died a day later. The woman was reported in good condition. Brown was only 17 when considered one of the best boxers in Chicago. He was a candidate for the 2012 Olympics in London. As a boxer, Brown was 20-0 with 16 knockouts. He was eyeing a breakout in 2017. His veteran manager, Cameron Dunkin, said Brown had just retained Floyd Mayweather Jr’s close friend and assistant trainer, Nate Jones, to supervise a training regimen for Brown. In 2003, his mother was killed in the E2 nightclub stampede. His longtime sparring partner, Adrian Granados, was among those at his bedside. “I started telling him, you’re in the tenth round right now, keep jabbing, keep sticking and moving,” Granados said. And while Brown’s loved ones acknowledged that his prospects for recovery were dim, they believed the fighter in him would prevail. “What I’m saying to friends right now is he’s just having a conversation with God right now, but I’m going to continue to ask God to send back our boy. I’m just staying as positive as I can,” Granados said. Brown went pro two years ago, following an extremely successful amateur career. Throughout his career, he had to fight the influence of gangs and drugs. This is the third time he’s been shot. His lifelong coach, George Hernandez, said Brown had moved past all that. “He’s one of the top prospects in the world. He’s 20-0 as a fighter, 16 knockouts. We were just getting ready to start camp for his next fight,” Hernandez said. A motive for the shooting is unknown. No one had been arrested in the shooting. The family said Saturday that they were overwhelmed with grief. “Put the guns down. Put the guns down. Put the guns down. All these kids are dying in the street. Put the guns down,” his aunt Tamika. www.chicagodefender.com

The Republic is Still in Danger “If you’re honest, you will admit that Donald Trump acts more like an overgrown preteen who is not quite sure of who he wants to be.”

E NOTES By Kai EL’Zabar

Defender Executive Editor

“What we have here is a failure to communicate,” a line from the film “Cool Hand Luke,” speaks volumes now that we have a president-elect who exhibits behavior that, if not attributed to him, would be considered at best erratic; however, he is the elected soon-tobe leader of America and has stature based on his wealth and visibility, mainly resulting from his reality television show persona, lawsuits, messy marriages, divorces and his tendency toward gaudiness. You know the adage “you can take the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy.” So I’m warning you that the president-elect’s erratic personality will not get better. If you’re honest, you will admit that he acts more like an overgrown preteen who is not quite sure of who he wants to be, allowing his ego’s lust for attention and acceptance to lead him at all times. He’s a crowd pleaser and will do whatever he has to do to get the applause. So on Nov. 23, before Thanksgiving, the president-elect sat down with the New York Times, America’s most prominent mainstream newspaper, which he had made glaring insults

about throughout his presidential campaign that were short of being blasphemous. He expressed himself in his usual unconventional manner. Trump began with, "Well, I just appreciate the meeting and I have great respect for the New York Times. Tremendous respect. It’s very special. Always has been very special.” Trump was unapologetic about openly ignoring the tradition of convention or standards set by presidents, that reflect ethical and political conventions .

Conflicts of Interest

Trump, speaking from his personal interpretation of what is legal, what is right or what simply is, said he had no legal obligation to establish boundaries between his business empire and his White House, conceding that the Trump brand “is certainly a hotter brand than it was before.” Still, he said he would try to figure out a way to insulate himself from his businesses, which would be run by his children. This should be seen as contempt for all that has been tried and proven to be a correct line of behaviors to protect the interests of the executive office and the country. It is dangerous to allow this bully to do whatever he wants because as his colleague Paul Ryan puts it, “he won the election.” So that makes him above the law? Really. You see this is how

white men have a tendency to think. Trump is now the leader of the pack because he threw down and won, so now all have to get in line if they wish to remain a part of the winning team. Beware, Republicans, you’ve been down this rabbit hole before. They allowed Nixon to interfere where he should not have, and gave him carte blanche, which led to his eventual demise. Trump had the audacity to defend cabinet pick Stephen K. Bannon as chief strategist, against charges of racism, calling him a “decent guy.” And he mocked Republicans who had failed to support him in his unorthodox presidential campaign. Listen, people, all the Republicans who want to land on Trump’s best side say the same crap, essentially “that the Bannon described in the media is not the Bannon they know.” So screw that, we’re talking about the Bannon who Steve Bannon himself wanted us to know. The man who as recently as this summer called Breitbart News, the website he led, “the platform for the alt-right,” a white nationalist movement. How

How To Get Your Letter To The Editor Published The Chicago Defender is able to print about one out of every three letters it receives. Here’s what you should do to increase your chances of having your letter published. 1. Your letter must carry three pieces of basic information to make it from the starting line: your full name, your hometown and a voice telephone number at which we can reach you. This includes e-mail letters. Including your work phone number – if you can take calls there – speeds things up. Usually, we don’t even read anonymous letters. 2. Please print or typed double-spaced. 3. Keep it short. We suggest an upper limit of 300 words, but shorter is better, and we try to condense every letter. We do edit all letters for length, clarity, and taste. Writing “Do

about that? You feeling me? Trump exuberated his overzealous sense of confidence even tough he admitted that he is awed by his new job. “It is a very overwhelming job, but I’m not overwhelmed by it,” he said. Spoken so true to form. He’s not overwhelmed because he doesn’t take it seriously. Not really. To date, he still isn’t participating in the review of the presidential daily briefings (the same ones President Obama receives) because . . . he knows more than the generals. His statements about the rhetoric he used to reel in the suffering populace were conflicted and, at best, those of a preteen, betwixt by whether it serves him well to be adamant about those positions stated during the campaign, or not now that he won the election. So he reiterated that he had no interest in pressing for Hillary Clinton’s prosecution over her use of a private email server or for financial acts committed by the Clinton Foundation, which not edit” on your letter usually guarantees that we won’t … but we won’t print it either. 4. Help us verify your factual information. A letter that says, “According to the January issue of Speak Out, youth are more likely to rally and march than to engage in dialog,” will get printed before one that just says, “Youth rally and march but don’t engage in dialog.” 5. It’s okay to comment about news stories, our editorials, columns, photographs and all kinds of news decisions made by the Chicago Defender. It helps us if you give a publication date for the thing that caught your eye. You also can respond to other letters, but make it about the issues instead of a personal attack on another letter writer. 6. Writing, “I dare you to print this, you Uncle Toms!” on your letter doesn’t really affect your chances of getting published. 7. We usually don’t consider more than one letter from a writer every 30 days, and we do keep track.

he had recently announced after his win, shocking many who had chanted, “Lock her up, Lock her up,” led by him at rallies around the country. “I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,” he said. Look, I could go on and on, but let me say this. First, he has no authority to press prosecution, and to attempt to would lead him straight to impeachment. So his seeming act of forgiveness is merely a move to save his own behind. Further, what we need to know is that Trump played the populace, selling them populism and what they’ve got is plutocracy, a government ruled by the wealthy. Out responsibility, if we believe in the democracy that this country was, is to recognize that the republic is still in danger and that we cannot afford to accept any of Trump’s missteps to step around what has been tradition and conventional protocol as normal. It is not. 8. We don’t print poetry. 9. Lots of groups ask members to send “campaign letters” to their local newspapers, but we don’t print them. Usually the first one we get on a given subject gets through, but when we see that a campaign is going on, we cut them off. We don’t print form letters, nor “third person” letters, such as “an open letter to the President.” 10. There are three ways to submit letters: • by fax to 312/225-6954; • by e-mail to editorial@ chicagodefender.com; and • by mail to Letters to the Editor, the Chicago Defender, 4445 South King Drive, Chicago, IL 60653.

Black Unemployment Rate Falls to 8.1% in November als were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the four weeks preceding the survey.”

RNC Blasts Obama Over Jobs In a statement about the report, the Republican National Committee (RNC) noted that the manufacturing sector lost 4,000 jobs in November. “The 4,000 manufacturing jobs that disappeared last month come on top of the over 300,000 that have been lost under President Obama, more proof that President-elect Donald Trump’s efforts to stand up for the American worker is the commitment our country needs right now,” said RNC Co-Chair Sharon Day, in the statement. “This election showed that millions of Americans don’t trust Democrats to create good jobs and opportunity, and President-elect Trump’s determination to save 1,000 jobs in Indiana is just a preview of his agenda of prosperity for all.” The Carrier jobs that President-elect Trump took credit for saving come with strings attached. Reuters reported that, “Indiana state officials have agreed to give Unit-

ed Technologies Corp $7 million worth of tax breaks to encourage the company to keep at least 1,069 jobs at its Carrier unit in Indianapolis.” Carrier still plans to send about 1,300 jobs to Mexico. Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) also offered his take on the Labor Department’s report. Scott said that the numbers show that our economy continues to move forward from the worst economic crisis in a generation. “There is no doubt we have made great strides the last eight years, but our commitment to creating a more balanced and fair economy remains a priority,” said Scott. Scott lamented the federal court decision to block an updated overtime rule that would have helped more than 4 million workers. “Prior to the court’s decision and even before the overtime update was finalized, my Republican colleagues launched a campaign to stop and dismantle this meaningful rule that would serve working people,” said Scott. “With a new Congress and new administration fast approaching, I urge my colleagues to stand behind their promises of building an economy where working families can succeed.”

(Freddie Allen/AMG/NNPA) By Freddie Allen NNPA Newswire Managing Editor The Black unemployment rate improved from 8.6 percent in October to 8.1 percent in November, according to the latest jobs report from the Labor Department. The white unemployment rate ticked down from 4.2 percent in October to 4.1 percent in November, likely because white workers dropped out of the labor market. The labor force participation rate for white workers, which is the share of workers either employed or looking for jobs, continued a three-month slide and was 62.7 percent in November. Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate for Black workers edged up slightly from 61.8 percent in October to 61.9 percent in November, and the employment-population ratio, or the share of Blacks who have jobs compared to the total population, also took steps in the right direction, increasing from 56.5 percent in October to 56.9 percent in November. In Chicago, 25 percent of Blacks are jobless, giving Chicago the highest Black unemployment rate among the nation’s five most populous cities. Nationally, Black men over 20 years old showed the most gains among the adult worker groups in November, but they were also in the biggest hole. The unemployment www.chicagodefender.com

rate for Black men improved from 8.7 percent in October to 7.7 percent in November. The share of Black men who held jobs also increased from 61.7 percent to 62.3 percent. The unemployment rate for Black men was still higher than the jobless rate for white men, white women and Black women. Last month, the jobless rate for white men fell below 4 percent to 3.9 percent, but the labor force participation rate also ticked down from 71.9 percent in October to 71.7 percent in November. Employment prospects for Black women over 20 years old showed small gains in November. The labor force participation rate for Black women increased from 62.3 percent to 62.6 percent, and the employment-population ratio also increased from 57.9 percent to 58.2 percent. The jobless rate for Black women was 7.1 percent in November, unchanged since October. The unemployment rate for White women over 20 years old also decreased, from 3.8 percent in October to 3.7 percent in November, and the share of White women who held jobs slipped from 55.3 percent in October and 55.2 percent in November. The Labor Department reported that the national unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent in November, and the economy added 178,000 jobs in November. “In November, 1.9 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, up by 215,000 from a year earlier,” the Labor Department report said. “These individuTHE CHICAGO DEFENDER • December 07-13, 2016 07

The Holiday Concert of the Year — Together Again!

Kahil EL´ Zabar, David Murray and Harrison Bankhead It’s been years since the people have heard a live concert featuring Kahil EL´ Zabar and David Murray, who will be joined by Harrison Bankhead, and not soon enough. With the direction music has taken — particularly the invasion of Great Black Music, being usurped by all those outside of its creators, who lust after the sensual soulfulness that is emoted by the musicians and permeates the entire being of the listening audience of what has been termed as jazz — the reunion of these two powerhouses is a breath of fresh air. There will be no watered-down elevator or smooth jazz moments, but they will bring the robust soulful rhythm of the cool in you — yeah, that swag that only Black folk can bring. No insult intended, just fact. EL’ Zabar and Murray will be joined by another bad boy, bassist Harrison Bankhead, Monday, Dec. 12, when doors open at 7 p.m. for an 8 p.m. concert. At the Alhambra Palace, at 1240 W. Randolph. Those of you leaving the

HEALTH

Cold Weather Can Cause Dry Skin Flare-ups By Elena Elan Defender Staff Writer Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, meaning your body’s immune system mistakenly attacks your body’s own cells. Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by extra-dry skin and scaly patches. Autoimmune diseases are more common in women than in men, and having one autoimmune disease may increase your risk for developing other autoimmune diseases. Dry skin can be induced by stress and cold weather. So make sure that you add a humidifier to your residence if you live in a cold climate, because subzero temperatures take all the moisture out of the air. That, combined with forced dry heat indoors, can cause your skin to become extremely dry. The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) reports that psoriasis is sometimes the body’s way of coping with stress — sending out false signals tricking your body into producing skin cells it doesn’t need. That’s why it’s critical that you find ways to manage your skin and psoriasis. The combination of subzero weather, stress, forced heat and lack of drinking water can cause psoriasis plaque build-up — thickening of skin cells, causing a raised, red, scaly patch. This plaque build-up is most often found on elbows, knees and the trunk. About 80 percent of those with

www.chicagodefender.com

psoriasis have plaque psoriasis. Although psoriasis and stress go hand in hand, it is not the only cause. Another trigger for psoriasis is strep throat, a bacterial infection that can trigger the onset of psoriasis. Psoriasis can be a tough battle and hard to control. So be aware that there are nine major stimulants that can possibly increase the possibility of psoriasis flareups. Be sure to speak with your doctor about alternatives and living a healthier lifestyle with psoriasis.

Avoid Alcohol

Avoiding alcohol, which, whether you prefer to drink or apply directly on your skin, can irritate it and cause tremendous itching, because alcohol dehydrates the body. Drinking it causes your kidneys to work overtime. It can also decrease the effectiveness of psoriasis meds. Make sure water outweighs alcohol consumption. You should increase water intake during the winter months anyway to help combat the loss of water/moisture in the air. It has been determined that psoriasis is made worse in those who smoke. Naturally, hot showers are most desirable in the winter, but the hotter the water, the more it dries out your skin. Hot showers strip away natural oils the body produces. Those who suffer psoriasis need all the moisturizer and/or oil they can possibly re-

ceive. If you must take hot showers, take 5-10 minute lukewarm showers instead. Cold weather is brutal for psoriasis sufferers, demanding that you moisturize four times or more a day, and it still may not be enough for your dry, flaky skin. Using fragrance-free detergent (FFD) makes a difference because detergent with fragrance can cause allergic reactions, triggering psoriasis. Although you may still itch, the FFD is not as excessive as it would be before switching to scent-free. The NPF reports that itching is one of the biggest complaints of psoriasis sufferers, with 70-90 percent experiencing this symptom. Sometimes you may scratch until the skin breaks and bleeds. Though scratching may feel good at the time, it can set you up for other infections and worsen your condition. At night, it is suggested that you wear gloves so you don’t scratch in your sleep or harm your skin. Allergies aren’t just red eyes and sneezing, but can also affect your skin and possibly be a cause for your psoriasis. Allergens cause the immune system to overreact, which can trigger or worsen psoriasis. Take an allergy test, and if anything shows up positive, try eliminating it to see if it improves your psoriasis. When it’s cold outside, the first thing people like to do is crank up the heat, but excessive heat can dry out the skin. If you are cold, try more blankets or comfortable layers.

Psoriasis is a skin condition that’s harder to manage in the winter. A number of psoriasis treatments include topical medications. These are creams, ointments or other solutions that are applied externally on your skin. Some topical treatments can be bought over-the-counter, while others must be prescribed by your doctor. Another alternative treatment for Psoriasis other than medications is with phototherapy, which is using either natural or artificial UV light to reduce symptoms. Just remember to drink lots of water and moisturize your skin with oils that do not contain alcohol. Do not consume or apply any fragrance, deodorant, etc that contains alcohol. Avoid scented laundry detergent, extremely hot or cold showers, and get a humidifier to add moisture the air in your residence and or/office.

RECIPE

Black America

By Donna Battle Pierce Syndicated Columnist My friend said I looked surprised at my reaction following her reference to BBQ Chicken Bites as the most delicious holiday appetizers I serve each year. “I never thought of them as appetizers. . . . There is nothing fancy about the small chicken bites I only serve to close friends and family,” I said, reminding her that the dish may better be categorized as a holiday “treat” or “snack.” Why? Because the people I share them with seem OK with my deep appreciation (which some refer to as an addiction) for the crunchy bites dipped in bottled Kansas City-style barbecue sauce, best described as rich, thick and “perfectly seasoned.” But don’t worry, these Chicken Bites can be a very versatile dish during the holi-

day season. Feel free, should you prefer to use your favorite fried chicken recipe and sizzle the pieces in hot oil. Or, if another sauce tempts you, go right ahead and give a regional nod to the barbecue flavors from the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama or Texas. . . . Just not at my house. This oven-roasted chicken cooks up super crispy, courtesy of the flavorful blend of flour and oat bran (the crunchy outer covering of the oat grain,) available in the baking section of specialty markets. 3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil 2 eggs, beaten 3 tablespoons mild Creole or Soul seasoning blend 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins, cut into bite-size pieces 2 tablespoons coarse mustard 1/2 cup each: flour, oat bran Small sweet peppers, optional, for garnish Prepared barbecue sauce of choice, for serving Heat oven to 450 degrees. Pour oil over a foil-covered large baking pan; use a paper towel to spread the oil thickly over the tray. Set aside. Whisk the eggs in a large, deep bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of the Creole seasoning blend. Add the chicken pieces; top with mustard, remaining 2 tablespoons of seasoning, flour and oat bran.

Use your hands to toss the chicken with the seasoning and grains. Transfer the chicken pieces in three or four small piles to the large, oiled baking pan. Using your fingers (and a light touch), separate the chicken bites on the pan, moving the sticky pieces quickly. Bake 5 minutes. Lower the heat to 425 degrees. Bake 5 more minutes. Remove from oven; use tongs to turn or loosen chicken on the tray so the pieces don’t stick to the foil. Bake until chicken is crispy and golden, about 15 more minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Use a spatula or tongs to loosen any chicken pieces but keep them on the tray; set aside about 5 minutes. Transfer to appetizer dishes. Serve with prepared barbecue sauce.

If you can’t pay your taxes, still file them. It is illegal not to do so.

Solutions for Not Filing Back Taxes By Constant W. Watson III Defender Contributing Writer Most people who have IRS problems haven’t filed in a few years. It’s a common problem. You are not alone. Don’t be embarrassed. Nearly 10 million people have delinquent tax returns. In all my years of practicing before the IRS, I’ve seen people who had a rough patch that kept them from filing and paying their taxes. IRS problems happen to good people. Someone gets sick and they can’t work, someone loses their job. It’s terrible. There’s no money to pay the taxes one year, so they don’t file, and the person is afraid to file after that. They don’t want to get caught and they certainly don’t want to end up in jail. But worse than not paying your taxes is not filing your return. It’s against the law. You may be asking, “Is there anything I can do to get my life back”? Yes, there is! You can get your life back. First you have to decide that you want your life back. You have to decide that you aren’t going to take this anymore and that you want to fix it. Once you make the decision that you want help, and you no longer want to live in fear, or hide from those dreaded IRS notices, phone calls and visits, you will have taken the biggest step in getting your life back on track. Don’t let the IRS bully you into hiding under a rock, in the closet, or under your blankets. There are many ways to get your life back, and even better yet, there’s a way to protect your savings and your paycheck, a way for you to keep your car! There are laws to protect taxpayers

nowadays. Years ago, you were just at the mercy of the IRS. But now you have a chance to get your life back. You could opt to represent yourself before the IRS. There is the offer-in-compromise program. Some people do go that route. But representing yourself before the IRS is like going to court without a lawyer. I wouldn’t recommend that. Or, you can hire someone who knows all the ins-and-outs and navigates the IRS maze on a daily basis. You can hire someone who knows how to protect you and your rights. Once you take that first big step and decide you are done with sleepless nights, you need to make the second-biggest decision — hiring a competent professional who cares about you and is an expert taking on the IRS. Believe it or not, there are new laws to help financially strapped taxpayers today. The IRS announced its “Fresh Start Initiative,” which allows more taxpayers than ever before to settle up with the agency. Now is the time to take advantage of these less stringent, more flexible programs before the IRS changes its mind again. Remember, that for every tax problem, there is a solution. Constant W.

2016 Harlem Fine Arts Show Returns to Chicago

The Harlem Fine Arts Show has attracted more than 80,000 visitors, including collectors, art enthusiasts, educators, students and professionals. By Mae Ebert

The show’s schedule is as follows:

Defender Staff Writer Fortunately, the 2016 Harlem Fine Arts Show (HFAS) charmed Chicago two years ago, so this third annual visit should dazzle the city with its reputation as the largest traveling African Diasporic art show and sale in the United States, when it returns Dec. 9–11. The first two previous years hit the city with a big splash, held at the Merchandise Mart; however, it was the first HFAS that drew Chicago’s A-List of who’s who in Black Chicago who ventured out to attend its first reception. They wanted to see what all the hoopla was about. Over the days that followed, thousands came out to see the art and to purchase it for their home or office. This year, the HFAS is housed at a new venue, Life Creative, a new creative co-working space in Chicago’s trendy West Loop that provides an environment for people to learn, collaborate and design with like-minded industry professionals and colleagues. The space is different from the Merchandise Mart, which is more of the traditional model of high-end showrooms and was perfect to introduce HFAS as a popular showcase of African-American art. The location at1655 W. Walnut is accessible and just makes sense now that the city is familiar with the level of artists and quality of art it can expect at HFAS. Since its inception in New York in 2009, HFAS has attracted over 80,000 visitors, showcased hundreds of artists and galleries, and generated millions in art sales. The show debuted in Chicago in 2014, as one stop on a multi-city tour that includes New York, Atlanta, Martha’s Vineyard and Washington, D.C. Since then it has become a show to look for by the city’s art collectors and new art lovers looking to start a collection, or buy their first piece of fine art or simply to enlighten and delight their cultural senses. For artists, it’s an opportunity to introduce and expose their art to new potential buyers, but it comes at a steep price. Artists do pay for booth space. So going in they have to sell their art just to make www.chicagodefender.com

Captured in the forefront, sculptor extraordinaire Woodrow Nash’s beautiful works of art are featured. back their initial expense. But artist Candace Hunter, who participated last year for the first time, says, “Even if you don’t sell a lot of your work over the course of the weekend, if you are able to connect with new interested collectors who you otherwise would not have met and are able to cultivate a relationship over time long after the HFAS has gone, it’s worth it.” She also shared that even your clients like to see you present. It just legitimizes you as a real artist in their eyes. All in all, for artists it’s the good, the bad and the ugly at once. The challenge of curator, promotion and marketing to drive the interest, the art of closing the deal and the cultivation of new clientele are all burdens of the artist, and of course, the possibility of no sale. “The mission of the HFAS is to rekindle the creativity of the renaissance in arts and culture that swept through both Harlem and Bronzeville in the early part of the 20th Century. Many such noted Black artists of that era evolved out of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) — the visual arts arm of the Great Depression-era Works Progress Administration, a Federal One program, like Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence, Margaret Burroughs, Archibald Motley Jr., Romare Bearden, Richard Bar-

te, Charles White, Hale Woodruff, John T. Biggers, Augusta Savage and Richmond Barthé, to name a few. The thrust of the movement waned and waxed again with the growing interest in Blackness during the Black Power era and decades to follow.
