847-473-5501e Case for Hillary ClintonWhen people run for office, the media, and

people in general think-up, make-up, exaggerate

and say everything negative that they can imagine

about the person running and say it. Especially if

that person has a good heart and genuinely wants

to make positive change.

In this election cycle, everything negative

that anyone could image was said about Hillary

Clinton. But she is not alone, they made up, insinu-

ated, and out right lied on Barack Obama, Ben Car-

son, Bill Clinton, and even John F. Kennedy.

Anyone who has a positive agenda is like flying

geese, everyone with a rifle is going to try and

shoot them down.

Until the last few weeks, we really didn’t

hear a lot of negatives about Donald Trump’s dark

secrets, his tryst with women, tax evasion, etc.

What we could see was his child-like temper

tantrums and clear racist attitudes. No one had to

make that up, it was clear to all.

What the media doesn’t harp on is how

qualified Hillary Clinton is. She is a Wellesley grad-

uate. She earned a J.D. from Yale Law School in

1973. She married Bill Clinton in 1975 and co-

founded Arkansas Advocates for Children and

Families. She was the first woman partner of the

Rose Law Firm of Arkansas and served as

Arkansas’s First Lady during the governorship of

Bill Clinton, and then served as first lady with Pres-

ident William Jefferson Clinton for eight years.

An accomplished lawyer, She worked for

more than 30 years with the Children’s Defense

fund. She was elected as a New York Senator serv-

ing two terms from 2001- 2009. She is a former

Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013.

She has endured hard times, media scandals

and survived. She even surfaced stronger as an in-

dividual. She is from and for working class families

and she believes in a safety net for families and in-

dividuals who fall upon hard times.

She is well red, widely traveled, brilliant, and

even able to take a jab from the likes of a well-

heeded Trump called this mother and grandmother

a “nasty” woman. She took the punch with grace.

Hillary not only is qualified to be president,

she deserves it.

I have had the pleasure of being in Hillary

Clinton’s presence on

three occasions. While I

am from Arkansas, where

she lived most of her pro-

fessional life, I saw her up

close at a conference in

Chicago when she was

First Lady nearly 18 years

ago. We held an interest-

ing conversation and she

graciously agreed to take a

photo with three individu-

als which I had invited to

travel to the event with

me, those individuals were

Dr. Patricia Pickles, Dr.

Wadell and Dr. Daisy

Brooks. I still have that

photo that I took. I met

with her on two additional

occasions, she was always

kind, humorous and gra-

cious. For years, I received

Christmas Cards from the

Clinton Family and I

treasured each and every-

one of them.

Once I was invited to the White House

under the Clinton Administration and they pre-

sented me with some keepsakes, a hand engraved

goblet with President Clinton’s signature, and an of-

ficial White House Christmas Tree Ornament.

These items I will always treasure.

I am honored to recommend and support

Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Chief Executive Of-

ficer of our great nation and as President of the

United States of America.

Into Action

When you don't feel like

doing what you know you must,

that's the best time to go ahead

and do it anyway. That's when you

can break through your old habit

patterns to a new level of focus,

performance and achievement.

That first step will require

you to go against your natural ten-

dency to put it off until later and

to stay comfortably where you are.

So how do you get beyond that?

Use your power of visualiza-

tion to do two things. First, use

your thoughts to make it even

more uncomfortable, even more

painful for you not to take action.

Next, visualize in great de-

tail all the positive and desirable

rewards you'll create by going

ahead and getting it done. In your

mind, make it so compelling to

take action that you cannot avoid

doing so.

Many times in the past,

you've successfully avoided action

by telling yourself why you can't

or why you won't. Now, choose to

use that same power to tell your-

self why you can and why you will.

You control the awesome

power of your thoughts. And with

your thoughts you can success-

fully visualize yourself into action

every time.

A communique of the Community Action Partnership of Lake County

I am the LadyFor the last few months, I have at-

tended Community and Business Lunch-eons and participated in CommunityPlanning Meetings. However, I some-times wonder if America and this com-munity truly understand what it means toneed help or how the ones in need aremade to feel about themselves.

I am the lady whose family and friendsasked her to quit working and get on dis-ability years before she quit working.

I am the lady who couldn’t even handle15 hours a week anymore. I am the ladywho slowly started losing more and more

m o n e yevery yeardue to de-c r e a s e dhours, thes l o w e rpace shehad tow o r k ,and fewerclients. Iam thel a d ywhose health care costs increased as herincome declined. I am the lady whostarted accumulating credit card debt tomake up the difference.

A Peoples Voice Special Report

When Chris Brown, a North Chicago native, won the 2014 Veter-

ans (Masters) Greco-Roman Wrestling World Championships in Belgrade,

Serbia at age 57 you’d think he’d be content. After all, wrestling is a

“young” man’s sport with a tremendous amount of twisting, turning,

banging, bending, and exertion on the body. It requires strength, flexibil-

ity, tenaciousness, and grit. The wrestling community understands, em-

braces, and defines the word “grind” as the day to day struggle to improve

and get better…even when you don’t feel like it! Perhaps no one embod-

ies these traits better than this 1975 North Chicago High School graduate.

In October, Brown captured his second World Championship gold medal

at the 2016 Veteran Greco-Roman Wrestling World Championships in

Seinäjoki, Finland. http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Fea-

tures/2016/September/24/Brown-wins-second-Veterans-Greco-gold-as-

Team-USA-gets-five-medals

Brown made USA Wrestling history when he became the first

American to ever win two Veteran (age 35 and older) Greco-Roman World

Championships. For

that honor he was

named USA

Wrestling Athlete of

the Week.

Brown won two

Greco-Roman World

titles in the 2000

Olympics and 2001

World Champi-

onships. The North

Chicago native’s ac-

complishment was

nothing short of

amazing. He’s 58 years old (turning 59 in November) and competes in the

Division E, age 55-60 and at weight class 85kg or 187.25 pounds. The age

divisions are divided into 5 year increments starting at age 35 and ending

at 70.

“I don’t plan to be wrestling at 70,” says the former Warhawk, but

he shows no signs of slowing down or being unable to compete and win

at international levels. While in Finland, Chris went undefeated in 4

matches against top competition. In a 5-man round robin he had to wres-

tle 4 times. The results were a win over Anatolii Savytskyi (Ukraine) by in-

jury default, a win over Constantin Tintea (USA), 5-4, a win over Hasan

Ozdemir (Turkey), by pin and a win in the finals over 2x World silver

medalist Marko Sarcanski (Serbia), 4-2.

“I had a good tournament and was able to score a 4 point throw in

three matches,” said the new 2x World Champion. “The USA is not as

strong in the Olympic style of Greco-Roman wrestling as our European

and Russian counterparts. We fare well in Freestyle because it’s somewhat

closer to our American “folkstyle” wrestling that we do at youth, high

school, and college levels. We are the only country in the world that meas-

ures in feet, drinks in gallons, and wrestles folkstyle. We already start of

behind on the international and Olympic styles of wrestling,” added

Brown.

Coach Brown is doing his part to help teach the Olympic style of

Greco-Roman wrestling where he lives in Maryland. He’s a coach for the

Maryland National Team and MD Eagles Wrestling Club concentrating on

Greco-Roman first then Freestyle during the spring and summer seasons.

During the winter season he’s an assistant varsity and middle school

wrestling coach at Bullis School in Potomac, MD.

After graduating from North Chicago Community High School in

1975, Chris attended and wrestled at the United States Air Force Academy

in Colorado Springs, CO. Graduating and commissioned as a 2nd Lieu-

tenant in 1979, he served in the US Air Force as a Communications and

Computer Systems Officer. He went on to win numerous All-Air Force

Greco-Roman and Freestyle championships. He was an AAU and USA

Wrestling Greco-Roman All-American wrestler during the 80’s. Chris was

also the 1988 US National Championships runner-up and an Olympic tri-

als finalist.

Does he have future wrestling goals? “I love coaching kids. But I

want to keep wrestling until God gives me the signal to just coach,” smiles

the champion.

“The 2017 World Championships are in Bulgaria. We have a team

working to bring the Veterans World Championships to the USA in 2018.

It would fun to retire in front of an American crowd. But who knows,

there might be a great travel location for the 2019 championships!”

By Dawn Rhodes, Chicago Tribune

Chicago radio legend Herb Kent, the

longest-running DJ in the history of radio and

a fixture on local airwaves for more than 70

years, Saturday, October 22. He was 88.

Kent's death was announced Sunday by

executives at V103, where Kent worked for the

past three decades. Also known as "The Cool

Gent," "King of the Dusties" and the "Mayor

of Bronzeville," Kent did his final radio broad-

cast Saturday morning.

"No words can express our great sense

of loss," Matt Scarano, region president of

iHeartMedia Chicago, said in a statement.

"Herb was an iconic talent, who for nearly 70

years entertained millions of listeners in

Chicagoland and around the world. His passion

for radio and work ethic was second to none as

Herb worked to the very end, by hosting what

unexpectedly was his final V103 broadcast on

Saturday morning.

"We are so thankful for the privilege of

working alongside such an historic figure as

Herb Kent for the past 27 years. Our thoughts

and prayers are with HHerbert Rogers Kent

was born Oct. 5, 1928, at Cook County Hospi-

tal, now Stroger Hospital. Kent noted in his

memoir that he arrived the same year as poet

Maya Angelou, singer Fats Domino, actors

Adam West and Shirley Temple, as well as

Mickey Mouse, Rice Krispies, Louisiana Hot

Sauce and penicillin.

"Some people joke that 'in the begin-

ning, God created Herb Kent,' but hey, I'm not

that old," Kent wrote.

Kent grew up an only child in the Ida B.

Wells housing project in Bronzeville and

showed an early fascination with radio, building

makeshift devices out of toilet paper

inserts, crystals, wires and earphones,

he said in a 2015 interview with the

Soul Train website.

Kent got his start in radio

while still a student at Hyde Park High

School. In 1944, at 16, he hosted a

classical music program for WBEZ,

according to a profile in the National Radio

Hall of Fame, into which he was inducted in

1995.

Early on, he often recalled, a white pro-

fessor told him he had a great voice but never

would succeed in the business "because you're a

Negro."

"That was my signal to make a differ-

ence and from that day forward, I pushed

harder and eventually landed an on-air paid

job," he told SoulTrain.com.

He spun records at WGRY in Gary,

making $35 a week, while also acting in radio

dramas for NBC affiliate WMAQ.

Through the 1950s, Kent worked at

WGES, Chicago's largest black radio station,

then at WBEE where he coined the phrase

"dusty records" or "dusties."

He then worked at WJOB in Hammond

and WHFC in Chicago, according to the pro-

file.

Kent spent several years at WVON-AM

1690 as one of the station's original DJs, which

he called the "apex" of his career. The station,

whose name originally stood for "Voice of the

Negro," enjoyed enormous popularity in the

broadcasting world and became a fixture in

Chicago's black community. Kent, alongside

Franklin McCarthy, E. Rodney Jones, Wesley

South and Pervis Spann, comprised the first

core group of WVON personalities, known as

"The Good Guys."

Herb Kent, who worked in Chicago

radio for seven decades, died Saturday at 88.

(Kuni Takahashi / Chicago Tribune)

He often is credited for helping launch

the careers of The Temptations, Smokey

Robinson, Curtis Mayfield and Minnie Riper-

ton. He mentored "Soul Train" host Don Cor-

nelius when the television personality first got

started in broadcasting.

WVON celebrated its 50th anniversary

in 2013. Kent told the Tribune about how the

station grew beyond music to become an influ-

ential resource in black politics and social issues

in Chicago.

"So in the confusion and everything, I

think the talk radio thing was born here at

WVON," Kent said. "We needed a black talk-

radio station, because they got into all kinds of

things. Race riots, racism, food stamps, poverty,

civil rights — from a black point of view, which

we never had before. Just absolutely phenome-

nal. Because the white radio stations never gave

us that much time. I'm sure they were fair, but it

was always a white talk show, not completely

black like this.

"It meant everything: a way to air

your views. Politics. Helped different black

politicians get elected. Really an educational

outlet for black people, and also an educa-

tional outlet for white people, to let them

know what black people are like. I'm sure

this will go down as one of the great black

talk stations of all time, just as it was one of

the great music stations. Without it, we

wouldn't have hardly any voice at all."

Kent joined V103, then known as

WVAZ, in 1988. In all, he worked as a DJ

for 11 different stations, amassing high rat-

ings the entire way.

"I think my success has had much

to do with the way I appeal to my listeners

as well as how I tap into the vein of what I

call Cool School music," he wrote in his

book. "It doesn't matter if it's old school or

new school — there's a certain quality to

some music that just makes it good, makes

it timeless, makes it ... Cool School."

`Cool he was, with a fondness for

Cadillacs and rocking his trademark mus-

tache and cowboy hat.

"I'm so cool, I'm froze in my clothes!" he

was often quoted as say-

ing.

He released his

no-holds-barred autobiography in 2009, ti-

tled: "The Cool Gent: The Nine Lives of

Radio Legend Herb Kent." Former Chicago

Mayor Richard M. Daly wrote the foreword.

Kent was inducted into the national

Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in August,

in a class that also included Prince, Smokey

Robinson, The Supremes, Dionne Warwick

and Jimi Hendrix. He also taught broadcast-

ing and communications at Chicago State

University on the Far South Side.

"Herb was our radio superhero,"

said Derrick Brown, director of urban pro-

gramming iHeartMedia Chicago. "While I'm

incredibly sad, I hold so much joy remem-

bering the fun times we've had with him and

the smiles he brought to our faces. Herb will

hold an eternal place in our hearts."

Kent celebrated his 88th birthday

earlier this month and posted a message to

his blog commemorating the occasion.

"Thank you to all my fans for the

birthday wishes, each of you made my day

special. I can dig it!"

hat is all the fuss about millennials? People say weare non-religious, leaving the church in record num-bers. It’s true, there is a major increase in young peo-

ple leaving the church. Why are they leaving? Because theyfeel they are unheard. They feel condemned by their peersand others for their sin. They don’t feel accepted or seen!Sometimes as millennials we feel there are so many rules, spo-ken and non-spoken, in the church, but nothing spoken re-garding developing strong strengthening relationships.Today’s music, social media, and the movie industry is callingour names and creating untold pressures in our lives. Enough about how we are wired, here is what we need as mil-lennials.

•Real talk between older Christians and millennials.We need an environment to be real and transparent withoutfeeling judged or condemned. We fear telling our failures toolder Christians because we feel they can’t handle the realityof our sin or the struggles we find ourselves in today. We needa safe place to be vulnerable!!

•We need to see unity in the church, not disunity:Even among millennials there is such a break down in rela-tionships. Comparison, gossip, jealousy, competing for atten-tion. This disunity extends its self to older adults as well.Fighting, fussing, and harsh words should not be a commonplace in the local church. Believe me, it is a real turn off.

•We need Mentors: We need people who are going towalk through the battle with us no matter how many times wego astray. Find some time and spend it with us, the world of-fers us lots of pleasure and time consuming attractions.

•We need a community of believers: Young peopleour own age striving together, spending time together for spir-itual goals and accomplishments.

•Stop babying us: We need people to speak the truthin love to us. We want to be challenged.So here’s the bottom line. Approach us, spend time with us,talk to us, mentor us, share your stories and your pain. Whenyou do, we will grow, find God, love the word, become whatwe were created to be, and maybe we will have the courage tostep back into the church.
