Lawmakers hear more pleas for assault weapon ban
Exper ts say gun control only one part of a bigger puzzle
By PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois
SPRINGFIELD – A legislative committee on Dec. 15 heard more witnesses call for a ban on high-power, semi-automatic rifles and largecapacity magazines, but some experts said that alone won’t solve the problem of violent crime in Illinois.
During its second hearing on a proposed assault weapon ban, an Illinois House committee, meeting in Chicago, heard from several officials who said public investment in marginalized communities and communitybased programs that aim to stop cycles of violence also are needed.
“Unfortunately, community-based providers serving at-risk youth and emerging adults have lacked substantial investments for decades. Yet these programs have proven to be impactful and effective,” Delrice Adams, executive director of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, told the panel. “Community investment, diversionary criminal justice programming and evidencebased, trauma-informed treatment can reduce crimes related to illegal gun carrying.

World Deliverance Center partnered
Bellwood church gives gifts to children of incarcerated parents

On Dec. 12, approximately 52 children and 20 families gathered at World Deliverance Center, 439 Bohland Ave. in Bellwood, to receive gifts from church officials. But this was no ordinary
holiday gift giveaway
World Deliverance Center’s prison ministry partnered with the Salvation Ar my’s Angel Tree program to provide Christmas gifts for children whose parents are incarcerated.
“We want them to know that even though their parents can’t be with them for Christmas, they’re not forgotten,” said Ruth Price, World Deliverance Center’s staf f pastor of evangelism. “We give gifts on behalf of the parents.”
Price said the church has been doing the gift giveaway for around 12 years.
Perhaps even more important than the gifts the children received were the notes from incarcerated parents attached to the gifts.
“I might open my gift on Christmas Eve,” said Elena Grijalva. “I might get too impatient and open it before then. I might take the Angel of f and keep it since my papi made it.”

“Alone Together”: Overcoming Social Isolation…with Help From UCP Seguin
As COVID-19 emerged in March 2020, Amanda, resident of a UCP Seguin group home in Oak Park, was presented with a major dilemma. With a dual diagnosis of intellectual disabilities and bipolar disorder, she asked the question: how would she cope with challenges brought on by the pandemic?
Initially UCP Seguin closed its day services sites, including the Levinson Center in Oak Park where Amanda received life skills training and other services to promote community integration. She was relegated to her group home to “shelterin-place.” Amanda faced social isolation and the potential of worsening mental and physical health. UCP Seguin deployed day services staff to her group home to ensure around-the-clock provision of enrichment activities, therapy, and other

Using her iPad, Amanda participated in remote Zoom video activities, such as cooking and fitness classes, conducted by day services staff. With assistance from UCP Seguin Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Dana Pavlik, Amanda helped conduct a class for other participants every Thursday afternoon called “Fun Times With Dana: Let’s Get Social!” In these classes, participants were presented with a basic understanding of the new norm and how best to cope with it. In this way, Amanda has served as a role model for other individuals with disabilities.
As the pandemic has waned in severity, Amanda has returned to in-person community activities, while continuing some virtual learning and fun engagements with others. With UCP

Maywood orders new fire engine truck that won’t come for 2 years
The Maywood village board recently voted unanimously on a resolution waiving the competitive bid process for purchasing a new engine truck for the Maywood Fire frame.”
In the meantime, the village has already allocated $275,000 to purchase the new truck and plans to secure the remaining money by setting aside funds over the next two fiscal years, Bronaugh explained. The chief said that despite the long delay, the current price for the truck is locked into
on Dec. 14.
The vehicle has also undergone “numerous pump re placements and is not equipped with the current safety standards and rollover protection.”
But ChiefBronaugh said the new fire department may have to wait about two years before the new truck arrives. The delay, the chief said, is due to supply chain issues. Fire departments across the country are experiencing the same delays in purchasing new fire trucks. Typically, new trucks take about nine months to a year to arrive.

Fleishman is in trouble and so are we
and disgust.
By MICHAEL ROMAIN Commentary
In the second episode of the thoughtful Hulu show, Fleishman is in Trouble, the protagonist, 41-year-old new divorcee Toby F leishman, is driving his 11-yearold daughter and 9-year-old son to the Hamptons in the BMW that belongs to his ex-wife, Rachel — the successful founder of a prominent New York City talent agency who has sacrificed family for career.
Despite his nearly $300,000-a-year salary, Rachel views F leishman, a mere doctor, as an underachiever, a slacker who lacks ambition. F leishman loves his work for what it is and not just for where it can get him; he loves helping his patients heal; he loves solving problems; he loves being useful and satisfying real human needs.
One scene flashes back to a moment earlier in their mar riage and apparently before Rachel’s career really takes of f. F leishman tells Rachel he was allowed in the room where Dr Loo, the head of the gastroenterology division at his hospital, lay dying. While F leishman takes in the humanity of the moment, Rachel, thinking about her husband’s prospects for advancement, tells him, “That means you’re in.”
“Is that what they say in the mailroom when you get to watch a senior agent die?” F leishman shoots back, of fended by his wife’s Machiavellian comment, prompting an argument about her semantics Rachel tells Toby he’s misinter preting her. ‘Does she not mean what she just said?’ Toby wonders. Does she come of f a bit sociopathic? Is she gaslighting him?
For his sensibility, F leishman is rewarded with something bordering patronizing sympathy (“good for you” is a frequent response from those who lear n about his occupation), the shame of his absentee wife and his eldest daughter’s contempt.
“Are you gonna get a car?” F leishman’s daughter asks him on the drive to the Hamptons (Rachel, by the way, also owns the second home they’re driving to). “Can you even af ford one?”
“What? Yes. Yes, I can af ford a car,” F leishman says “You do understand I’m a doctor and not, like … Not, like, a homeless person, right?”
“Dad. What? You can’t say ‘homeless person,’” his daughter responds in shock
In the cloistered, rarified world of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, F leishman may as well be the help. Rachel’s glamorous career as an entertainment executive brings more money and status and prestige than her husband’s job, enough to essentially invert conventional gender roles (she “wears the pants” in the mar riage, so to speak).
Upper East Side, which is a microcosm of our winner-takeall, globalized economy.
America adrif t
ROMAIN
But throughout the first several episodes of the show, Toby’s work as a doctor is tangible — you see his patients, you see inside the hospital where he works, you see the residents who look up to him, you see the medical problems they solve. We can see Rachel’s status and the esteem (and caver nous apar tment) her job brings her and the family (at least before the divorce), but we rarely see her working aside from leaving mar riage arguments to answer work emails
Throughout the series, we constantly see Toby juxtaposed against aggressive social strivers like his wife — the practicing doctor at Toby’s hospital who is promoted chief of medicine (or in the words of the nar rator, makes his “dubious ascent to fundraiser”), or the medical researcher who names his second home after a hedonistic prescription drug he invents and who of fers Toby a million-dollar job heading a department designed to produce misinfor mation about holistic medicine and alter native therapies.
Fleishman is a brilliant illustration of how, nowadays, so much money and power is concentrated on work that is pointless and/or pathological. The late economic anthropologist David Graeber calls this a “ter rible psychic wound running across our society,” and which seems to engulf the F leishman’s mar riage
“It is the peculiar genius of our society that its rulers have figured out a way … to ensure that rage is directed precisely against those who actually do get to do meaningful work,” Graeber said. “For instance: in our society, there seems to be a general rule that, the more obviously one’s work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it.”
Doctors, he notes, are among the rare exceptions to that general rule — just not, as Fleishman demonstrates, on the
In his new book Adrift: America in 100 Charts, New York University business professor Scott Galloway points out that in America at present, it’s never been harder to become a millionaire and it’s never been easier to become a billionaire.
To secure that millionaire status (which on a salary of a mere $1 million a year, likely still won’t get him there after taxes and other sunk costs) and the respect of his pathologically ambitious wife, Toby has to make that “dubious ascent,” which means abandoning the meaningful work to which he’s dedicated his life; it means giving up the work of being hands-on and caring for patients (work that is unsubtly feminized) and becoming a corporate bureaucrat who peddles bullshit.
Higher up the economic food chain, Wall Street and Silicon Valley are flush with examples of glorified, cult-like founders who have BS’d and backstabbed their way to over night billionaire and gazillionaire status, mainly through initial public of ferings (IPOs) — from Elizabeth Holmes and Elon Musk to Adam Neumann and Sam Bankman-Fried.
“Yogababble grew up in the brand era, when inanimate objects started to take on animate characteristics,” Galloway writes “Objects and companies could be personified — likable, young, cool, patriotic. Corporate comms execs be gan to scale the charisma and vision of their business’ founder Over promise and overdeliver became a means to access cheap capital. (Elon Musk, April 2019: ‘A year from now, we’ ll have over a million cars with full self-driving.’ Number of such cars on the road in early 2022: zero.) The lines between char m, vision, bullshit, and fraud have nearly evaporated. The smokescreen that enables this kind of bad party trick is yogababble.”
This “yogababble” ethos saturates the world of Fleishman, where wealth is hoarded among a 1 percent that constantly fails the test Graeber of fers for deter mining the social value of a given class of workers:
“An objective measure is hard to find, but one easy way to get a sense is to ask: What would happen were this entire class of people to simply disappear? Say what you like about nurses, garbage collectors, mechanics, it’s so obvious that were they to vanish in a puff of smoke, the results would be immediate and catastrophic. A world without teachers or dockworkers would soon be in trouble, and even one without science-fiction writers [and] musicians would clearly be a lesser place.”
Phar maceutical executives? Talent agents? Private equity CEOs? Lobbyists? Cor porate attor neys? The argument for the existence of their kind of work becomes much harder to justify (although, of course, there are exceptions).
“What does it say about our society,” Graeber contends, “that it seems to generate an extremely limited demand for talented poet-musicians but an apparently infinite demand for specialists in cor porate law? (Answer: If 1 percent of the population controls most of the disposable wealth, what we call ‘the market’ reflects what they think is useful or impor tant, not anybody else.)”
Ironically enough, for most of the early Fleishman episodes, Rachel is missing — from the lives of her two children and from her workplace — leaving Toby alone to solve the riddle of his failed mar riage and his fractured life, and leaving the viewers to wonder whether the couple’s vaunted professional and social ambitions are even worth the trouble Channeling Graeber, we’re also left to wonder what Rachel’s abrupt and rather lengthy disappearance says about the value of her work in the context of real human needs.
Perhaps this is the psychic pain that Fleishman channels. What are the social consequences for the winners in a winnertake-all world that lavishly rewards the most likely to succeed by its pathological, sociopathic, psychosomatically toxic and ultimately pointless rules while impoverishing the rest?
We, the viewing audience, are as invested in this world as the fictional characters. We are the rest. And so the question for us becomes, “Why have we allowed the world to stay this way?” What can we do about it?
The first step toward changing things is to realize that, like Toby F leishman, we’re in deep trouble, and no superhuman experts are coming to get us out of it.

Hephzibah is celebrating its 125th anniversary celebration with a series of stories about the children and families whose lives were transformed by our programs and services, as well as some of the “Hephzibah Heroes” who help make our mission possible. We hope you nd these stories as inspiring as we do!
Peter Murphy, the subject of this story, talks about his journey from an orphaned ve-year-old in foster care to a belove d residential counselor who has helped more than 2,000 other vulnerable youngsters nd hope and healing at Hephzibah Home.
Peter Murphy’s Journey of Hope and Healing
The year was 1982 and it was shaping up to be the worst year ever for five-year-old Peter and his older siblings John, Marita and Anne Marie, who had just lost their single adoptive mom, Elizabeth, to pneumonia.
Peter, now 46, remembers that loss vividly. He and Anne Marie had been at home watching Bozo’s Circus with Elizabeth when her breathing became labored. After a fierce bout of coughing, she looked over at her youngest child and whispered his name. Peter looked up at her and they locked eyes.
“Then she passed over,” he says quietly more than four decades later. “It was the first time I felt emptiness.”
In the aftermath of their mother’s death, the four orphaned youngsters were placed in temporary foster and group homes. The children were all in good hands, but they were reeling from the death of their mom and the loss of the comforting presence of their siblings When night fell, they lay alone in unfamiliar beds, wondering if they’d ever be together again.
“I felt so lost at the time,” Peter confides. “My temporary foster family was very kind and loving, but I missed my brother and sisters terribly.”
Meanwhile, Mary Anne Brown, Hephzibah’s executive director at the time, was also lying awake at night worrying about the sibling group’s future. The children had just been referred to Hephzibah for placement through the agency’s newly launched Foster Care and Adoption program and Peter was now living at Hephzibah Home. Would she have to split up the siblings permanently to find them forever families? She had to find a better way.
Brown mentioned the children’s plight to her friends, Dennis and Bunny Murphy, who had already adopted three children. Although Peter, John, Marita and Anne Marie were not related by blood, the Murphys felt that the children should be placed in the same foster/adoptive home because they’d been living together as a family before Elizabeth’s death. When Brown voiced her concern that it would be difficult to find a foster family willing to adopt and raise all four children together, Dennis and Bunny Murphy said quietly, “We will do it.”
FROM HEARTBREAK TO HAPPINESS
Those four simple words changed the lives of four extremely vulnerable youngsters and forged Hephzibah’s first forever family
“I still remember the day that Mary Anne Brown drove me over to the Murphys’ house in her yellow convertible to introduce me to my new family,” says Peter. “I was the first of the siblings to arrive When we pulled up in front of the house, a child jumped out of the bushes and ran toward me, screaming ‘I have a new brother! I have a new brother!’ That
was Michael, one of the three children who had already been adopted by the Murphys.”
That joyous greeting caused something to shift inside of the five-and-a-half-year-old, dislodging the grief that had blunted his other emotions. Peter describes it as the moment when everything began to change for the better.
“I had always been an active, outgoing kid. But during the six-month period after my mom died and before the Murphys took us in, I had become kind of an ‘inward’ person,” he explains. “I wasn’t able to process what had happened to me or put the hurt into words, so I spent a lot of time alone, throwing a ball up in the air and catching it for hours on end, day after day.”
Michael Murphy’s enthusiastic welcome reawakened Peter’s innate optimism and zest for life.
“I felt that warm, happy feeling again,” he confides. “Those feelings of love and acceptance that I’d felt before my mom died came flooding back when Michael jumped out of the bushes. I leaped out of the back of the convertible and I was just a little boy again, excited and happy and ready to have some fun.”
When Peter’s siblings arrived, his happiness was complete
“I was thrilled that we were all together again. But I was also excited to be a Mur phy because I felt loved and accepted I had everything I needed and wanted—and I knew that I was home.”

GIVING BACK
Today, Peter and his siblings see Dennis and Bunny Murphy as the stabilizing force in their lives. So it makes sense that Peter is carrying on their good works by serving as a stabilizing force for other vulnerable youngsters as a residential counselor at Hephzibah Home Peter found his way back to Hephzibah at the age of 19—purely by chance.
“I was a Triton College student at the time and I was riding the CTA Green Line train from Ridgeland Avenue to Harlem,” he says. “I was studying for a test later that day and I happened to look up from my textbook just as the train passed a building with a lot of windows. The building looked familiar, but I didn’t know why. So I got off the train to check it out.”
As he climbed the stairs of Hephzibah Home and opened the red brick building’s double white doors, that vague sense of recognition began to coalesce into a memory.
“I was immediately hit by a comforting smell that I remembered from a long time ago—a smell that I associated with homecooked food, happiness and warmth,” says Peter. “I asked the woman at the front desk what kind of a place this was. She told me it was Hephzibah Home, and I said, ‘I think I used to live here.’”
He left his name and phone number with the receptionist, asked if “the boss” could give him a call and headed back out through the double doors.
“I had walked maybe 50 steps when I heard someone calling my name,” he recalls. “When I turned around and saw Mary Anne Brown, the memories came flooding back—and the tears started flowing.
“Mary Anne took me back inside, we chat ted for a while in her office and she asked me what I was doing with my life. I told her that I was going to Triton to become a PE teacher or coach and she asked me ‘Well, do you want to work here instead?’ I be gan working for Hephzibah two weeks later.”
That was 26 years ago. Today, when Peter talks about his work caring for young survivors of severe neglect and abuse at Hephzibah Home, it’s obvious that he sees his work as a calling.
“Within six months, I knew it wasn’t just a job anymore,” he says. “It was a way to help other children in the same way that Hephzibah and the Mur phys had helped me.
“Dennis and Bunny filled the emptiness that I felt after my mom died in so many ways,” he adds. “My mom was always cooking and my dad was always riding bikes and
playing sports with us. They taught me to be the person I am today: self-disciplined, gentlemanly and noncombative. Even their discipline was gentle. If I broke a rule or had a bad day, they would say, ‘Tomor row, make sure you do better’ as they tucked me into bed at night.
“That’s the kind of person I try to be with the children at Hephzibah Home. I have so much empathy for these children. The only thing that I don’t have in common with them is the neglect and abuse. But I remember the feelings of loss and sadness in the months after my first adoptive mom died. That’s what the children at Hephzibah Home go through every single day.”
ever family forged through Hephzibah oster care (l-r): Peter, John, Marita and Anne Marie in 1982, when they were placed with Hephzibah’s rst foster parents, Dennis and Bunny rphy.
After more than two decades of helping traumatized children heal, Peter allows that the work can be intense
“Once I go through the doors of Hephzibah Home, my own life is no longer important because I have 10 different spirits and identities to listen to, love and support. The minute I arrive, I hear the kids screaming ‘Peter!’ and then they are all jumping on me at once. I’ll have two kids hanging on my ankles and more hanging from my arms and I’ll pretend to be King Kong for a couple of minutes to make them laugh and then say, ‘Okay, guys, I’m happy to see you too.’ Like every member of Hephzibah’s child care staf f, I am totally here for the kids, to give them someone to laugh with and lear n from and, when necessary, a shoulder to cry on. This is a really emotional job. If you can’t deal with emotions
on an hour-to-hour or sometimes minute-tominute basis, this job isn’t for you.”
“Every time Pete comes into work, he changes the mood,” says Program Coordinator Re gina Harbor. “His energy is always happy and jolly. He’s a jokester and a fun person to be around. Whenever he’s working with children who are struggling, he goes in with that positive energy and the kids often forget why they were angry or sad. If those feelings persist, they will open up to him and tell him what’s going on.”
Peter’s own early hardships—from the loss of his biological parents to the death of his first adoptive mom—also give the children hope. When they hear Peter’s story, they often feel less alone and more optimistic about the future because this cheerful, compassionate, playful adult is evidence that hard times aren’t forever and happy endings are still possible.
“I think that being a ‘Hephzibah kid’ has helped Pete learn patience and really get down and help these kids on a different level,” notes Harbor. “I’ve seen him share tears and parts of his own story with the children when they are in crisis. This has helped them open up to him so that they can process their feelings. Pete builds relationships with these kids that continue long after they leave Hephzibah Home.”
“I’ve been where they are, so I really appreciate and admire these kids for their strength and their ability to keeping moving forward, despite their losses,” Peter confirms. “I was 12 or 13 years old before I began to process my grief about Elizabeth’s passing. The Murphys really shored me up during that time. Just like the Murphys did with me, I try to shore up the children at Hephzibah Home as they grieve their losses and show them that they, too, can heal and do amazing things with their lives.
“Every evening, before I leave to go home, I tell each child, ‘I believe in you. You did a good job tod ay and tomor row can be even better. Always keep your head up and stay positive and shine bright on your path.’ I’m always trying to think of new ways to share the love and support I got from Hephzibah and the Murphys with the next generation.”

deliberate investment must continue to be part of the gun violence prevention conversation.”
Adams spoke during a House JudiciaryCriminal Committee hearing on House Bill 5855, sponsored by Rep. Bob Morgan, D-Deerfield. It would ban the sale and possession of “assault weapons,” .50 caliber rifles, .50 caliber cartridges and high-capacity mag azines. The bill provides a long list of firear ms, both rifles and pistols, that would fall under the definition of “assault weapons.”
And starting 300 days after the bill takes ef fect, it would make it ille gal to possess such a weapon or ammunition unless it is re gistered with the Illinois State Police.
Kim Smith, director of programs at the University of Chicago Crime Lab, called gun violence a “public health crisis” in the United States, noting that its homicide rate is at least 7.5 times that of other industrialized nations and that guns account for 79 percent of those homicides “Here in Chicago, fully three quarters of shootings stem from an altercation that happens to take place within a reach of a gun,” she said. “One way to reduce gun violence is therefore to make the situations in which those arguments occur more forgiving. The best way to do that is to limit the widespread availability of ille gal guns, particularly those equipped with high-capacity mag azines Without the presence of a gun, altercations would still happen, but they would be far less likely to
result in death.”
But Smith said other actions are needed as well, including investments in social service programs that help people “deescalate stressful situations before they lead to violence.”
One of the programs recently put into place in Illinois that aims to make those investments is the 2021 Reimagine Public Safety Act, administered by the Of fice of Firear m Violence Prevention within the Illinois Department of Human Services, which provides grants to organizations for violence prevention programs in 42 target communities both within and outside Chicago that have seen the highest rates of gun violence and homicides
Chris Patterson, the assistant secretary
who oversees that of fice, said some of the communities receiving those grants are already seeing dramatic declines in violent crime. But he argued that banning assault weapons is still a necessary ste p. “Something for us to consider is, what kind of commonsense society are we creating for our children now that gun violence is the leading cause of their death,” he said. “Let’s help our communities that are trying so hard to help themselves by banning the weapons of mass destruction we loosely call assault weapons from the streets of this great state.”
The panel also heard from people directly af fected by gun violence, including Maria Pike, a volunteer with the group Moms Demand Action, whose 24-year-old son was shot and killed in 2012 in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood.
“He was shot while trying to park in front of his new apar tment,” she said.
“And that’s when my struggle be gan, because I wanted to understand why someone who didn’t know my son (shot) him multiple times. I don’t even know at this time how many bullets went through.”
That incident occurred just four months before the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
The committee also heard from Marsha Lee, whose son was killed in 2008 in Harvey, Illinois.
“It’s been 14 years since my son has been killed and we still are here doing the same work, having the same conversation,” she said. “It’s a no-
brainer to me. I don’t understand why we have to fight the NRA and others to have commonsense reform.”
But the committee also heard from opponents of the bill, including Andrew Guadar rama, a 26-year-old Chicago resident who said the proposed law could actually endanger public safety because many residents, including those in highcrime neighborhoods, cannot rely on the police to protect them.
“Living in a lower income area of the city, I’ve heard gunshots many times I’ve had guns waved at me,” he said. “When I try relying on law enforcement to protect me, every time it’s failed. Three instances I called the police to report gunshots outside of my home. Those three instances, police did not show up.”
The committee is scheduled to hold at least one more public hearing on Dec. 20 in Chicago Lawmakers are expected to debate and possibly take action on the bill when they meet for a lame duck session starting Jan. 4. CONTAC T: michael@oakpark.com
