Intervention key to addressing ‘alarming’ rates of chronic absenteeism, educators say BY ALICIA FABBRE

Highs and lows of chronic absentee rates Chronic absenteeism has been identiﬁed as an area of concern by the Illinois State Board of Education. Below is a look at the lows and highs of chronic absentee rates across the suburbs.

For Reﬂejos

With 30% chronic absenteeism reported statewide last school year, school leaders across the suburbs are exploring different approaches to improving student attendance rates this fall. State education officials have identified absenteeism as an area of “immediate need.” The Illinois State Board of Education has awarded $12 million in grants to the 38 regional offices of education and intermediate service centers statewide this fall to address the problem. “Students, especially Black and Hispanic students, were chronically absent at alarming rates last year,” State Superintendent of Education Carmen Ayala said last week ahead of the release of the 2022 Illinois School Report Card data. Chronic absenteeism was at 48% among Black students and 36% among Hispanic students, report card data show. Across the suburbs, school districts saw a wide range of chronic absentee rates ranging from the single digits to highs just over 60%. A student who misses 10% or more of a school year -- roughly 17 days or more -is considered chronically absent. Research shows poor attendance affects students at all levels. “Just missing a few days can have a really great impact on a child,” said Amber Quirk, assistant regional superintendent for the DuPage County Regional Office of Education. But in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, school officials are quick to note that solutions to chronic absenteeism are not meant to be punitive in nature. Rather, many are using state funds to develop programs that look at what’s keeping students from school and how those barriers can be removed. “We’ve moved away from a truancy officer kind of model,” said Mark Klaisner, president of the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents and executive director of the West 40 and Intermediate Service Center 2, which includes schools in West suburban Cook County. “We’re much more about wraparound services and reaching out to families. If there’s a reason why students aren’t coming (to school), we want to know how we can help.” Anxiety, especially as students adjusted to returning to in-person learning, has been among the top reasons for rising absenteeism, school leaders said. Illness, income levels, a student’s home life challenges and other factors also can contribute to absentee rates. “Chronic absenteeism is a symptom of a much greater issue,” said Kevin Jauch, executive director of the North Cook Intermediate Service Center. “Our goal is to identify what are the barriers that are preventing a child from coming to school ... and then (identify) what kind of solutions can we come up with.”

JAY FUNCHES and Elise Lagunas are among eight student advocates who are part of a new program kicking oﬀ through the North Cook Intermediate Service Center, which oversees schools in northern Cook County. Student advocates will begin working with four schools on Monday to address chronic student absenteeism.

The North Cook Intermediate Service Center, which includes school districts in northern Cook County, received $611,000 in state funds this year to address absenteeism. The service center is using the funds to hire two student attendance liaisons to work with districts and families across the region and eight student advocates. The advocates have been assigned in teams of two to work with students at Winston Campus Junior High in Palatine, London Middle School in Wheeling, Maine West High School in Des Plaines and Maine East High School in Park Ridge. The schools saw chronic absentee rates of 27.4%, 16.1%,

43.7% and 37.8%, respectively. Jauch expects student advocates will work with 200 to 250 students this school year. He hopes to grow the program in future years to include more schools and students. Regional ofﬁces of education in DuPage and Kane counties are using the state funds in similar ways. Kane County has hired four youth outreach specialists. And in DuPage County, behavior interventionists will work with families and students to make sure they have the support they need and a train-thetrainer program will help schools implement curriculum to assist chronically absent students.

A look at the statewide races on the ballot come. And I think that’s something that’s worth discussion,” Frerichs is quoted as saying in the Daily Herald. The treasurer, meanwhile, has no formal role in setting tax policy, and Frerichs has frequently stated he does not support a retirement tax.

BY JERRY NOWICKI

(news@capitolnewsillinois.com)

SPRINGFIELD — A state constitutional amendment and every statewide constitutional ofﬁce are on the Nov. 8 ballot. As of Monday, the Illinois State Board of Elections reported 362,604 mail-in ballots, 224,595 early in-person ballots and 3,134 grace period ballots had already been cast. Below is a brief summary of the statewide races.

Secretary of state

Governor

Gov. J.B. Pritzker is facing off against state Sen. Darren Bailey, a Republican farmer from downstate Xenia. The candidates’ views diverge widely on just about every topic, from abortion to state spending to pandemic response to addressing gun crime. The Libertarian candidate is Scott Schluter. The candidates’ differences are demonstrated by Bailey’s voting record on some of the major policy proposals backed by Pritzker. Bailey was a “no” vote on almost all of them, saying in one public appearance that he’d like to repeal “everything” Pritzker signed into law during his first term in office. Bailey voted against the state’s operating budget each year, saying it contained wasteful spending. Pritzker, meanwhile, has cited those budgets as the reason Illinois was able to pay down a backlog of unpaid bills that ballooned to $16 billion under Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, along with other interest-accruing debt. Bailey also opposed the legalization of marijuana and a $45 billion public works infrastructure plan. The public works plan was funded by a measure that doubled the motor fuel tax and increased license-related fees, as well as a gambling expansion. Bailey voted against both proposals. He was one of just 13 lawmakers to vote against a measure capping insulin prices for some insurance plans, and he voted “no” on increasing the minimum wage to $15 hourly by 2025. He also opposed the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act that increases investment in renewable energy and aims to force fossil fuel producers offline in Illinois over the next two decades, citing the bill’s upward pressures on downstate energy prices. Pritzker’s refrain in recent debates has been that Bailey “has no plan” for Illinois, and he has painted the Republican as a conservative “extremist.” Bailey, meanwhile, has focused his attention on crime, especially in Chicago, as well as taxes and state spending. In a recent Springfield campaign stop, Bailey said his plan is to “come in with a totally new approach to government because nothing’s working right.” He said he believes there’s $10 billion to $15 billion of waste within the state budget, although he hasn’t said what he would cut, aside from arguing that administrative costs in public education are too high. He frequently mentions his plan for a “zero-based budget,” which, he said, means “accounting for every dollar that’s spent.” He put the responsibility for identifying the waste on the shoulders of yet-to-be-named agency heads. And he said later in a recent debate he’d begin identifying them the day after the election. Bailey has also been a staunch opponent to every measure that expanded abortion rights in Illinois in recent years, a point Pritzker has frequently reiterated on the campaign trail. Despite endorsements from the state’s anti-abortion groups, Bailey has recently said he wouldn’t try to repeal state abortion laws, because he wouldn’t have the backing in the Democratic-controlled General Assembly to do so. He would, however, look to repeal a criminal justice reform known as the SAFE-T Act, which passed in 2021 on slim Democratic majorities. Pritzker has said he will look to

DARREN BAILEY, left, and J.B. Pritzker are candidates for governor.

Democrat Jesse White is stepping down at the end of his term, creating a vacancy in the secretary of state’s office for the first time in 24 years. The race to succeed him features Democrat Alexi Giannoulias, a former state treasurer from Chicago, and Republican State Rep. Dan Brady of Bloomington. Each has a long list of initiatives he would like to implement to modernize the office. While Giannoulias has White’s endorsement, the outgoing secretary has also spoken highly of Brady. And Brady has the endorsement of Republican former Gov. and Secretary of State Jim Edgar. The Libertarian candidate is Jon Stewart.

Attorney general

SUSANA MENDOZA, left, and Shannon Teresi are candidates for state comptroller.

pass a clarifying amendment to that bill when lawmakers return to Springﬁeld a week after the election.

Comptroller

In Illinois, the position of chief fiscal officer is that of comptroller. Democrat Susana Mendoza has been elected to that post twice, for a partial term beginning in December 2016 before gaining reelection in 2018. She touts the reduction of a $16 billion bill backlog to a standard 30-day billing cycle, a $1 billion balance in the state’s rainy-day fund, and a pension payment that went $500 million beyond statutory levels in the current fiscal year as some of her greatest accomplishments. Her opponent, Shannon Teresi, is the McHenry County auditor. It’s an experience, she said, that will help her root out “waste, fraud and abuse” in state government — one of her most-repeated reasons for running. The Libertarian candidate is Deirdre McCloskey.

Treasurer

The race for treasurer — the state’s chief investment ofﬁcer — pits two-term incumbent Michael Frerichs against Republican Tom Demmer, a deputy minority leader in the General Assembly and House GOP point person on budget issues. The Libertarian candidate is Preston Nelson. Frerichs touts more than $1 billion in investment gains as his greatest achievement while emphasizing his administrative work on returning unclaimed property, a state college savings plan and other programs overseen by the ofﬁce. Demmer has said he would be statewide check on Democratic power when it comes to tax and budget issues. He has frequently attacked Frerichs for a comment he made in 2020 regarding a proposed graduated income tax amendment: “One thing a progressive tax would do is make clear you can have graduated rates when you are taxing retirement in-

Democratic Attorney General Kwame Raoul and Republican private practice attorney Thomas DeVore differ starkly on a number of issues, with the attorney general’s response to COVID-19 executive orders leading that list. DeVore was a frequent challenger of the governor’s executive order authority throughout the pandemic, while Raoul defended that authority in court. But it’s not the only issue on which the pair differed. In an hourlong discussion organized by the Illinois Associated Press Media Editors earlier this year, DeVore defended his use of the private lawsuit to go after individuals, including the governor and a special-education teacher, who he believes have defamed him. Raoul, meanwhile, said it’s a waste of court resources. They also differed on the SAFE-T Act, which DeVore believes is unconstitutional, and whether the attorney general should prosecute public ofﬁcials. The Libertarian candidate on the ballot is Dan Robin.

Amendment 1

Voters will decide on whether the state’s constitution will be amended to give a right to workers to unionize. It reads: SECTION 25. WORKERS’ RIGHTS (a) Employees shall have the fundamental right to organize and to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of negotiating wages, hours, and working conditions, and to protect their economic welfare and safety at work. No law shall be passed that interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively over their wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment and workplace safety, including any law or ordinance that prohibits the execution or application of agreements between employers and labor organizations that represent employees requiring membership in an organization as a condition of employment. (b) The provisions of this Section are controlling over those of Section 6 of Article VII. Supporters of the amendment say it is needed to prevent future “right-to-work” legislation, which Rauner attempted to pass. Right-to-work laws prohibit employers from requiring membership in a labor union as a condition of employment. Opponents, meanwhile, argue that passage of the amendment would give public-sector labor unions greater power, which could lead to more expensive government contracts that force increases in property taxes.

Chicago Shakespeare Theater presents

C H I C AG O S H A K E S P E A R E T H E AT E R

Now playing through November 27, 2022

“INMERSIVO Y VIBRANTE”

Measure for Measure

CHICAGO—October 28, 2022—Chicago Shakespeare Theater begins performances of William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, staged by celebrated director Henry Godinez in the Courtyard Theater and now playing through November 27, 2022. “Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall,” as Godinez brings Shakespeare’s searing play to vivid life amidst the glamour, music, and sensuality of 1950s Cuba, just before Fidel Castro seizes power. Havana is the carefree playground of the rich, the famous—and the corrupt—while a revolution brews. As the city sinks into moral disrepair, the Duke hands power to Angelo, who zealously enforces an archaic statute of chastity. When Isabel comes to plead for mercy for her condemned brother Claudio, the depths of raw power’s depravity are shockingly revealed. “I was born in Cuba around the time of the revolution,” shared Godinez. “Cuba has this intoxicating atmosphere—the moment you step off the plane, you feel it in the air, the color of the soil, the palm trees… This atmosphere of glamour and sensuality is what drew movie stars and mobsters to Havana in the 1950s— and put money in the pockets of leaders. The revolutionaries were perhaps originally motivated by a true and righteous response to this corruption, but soon they too became overwhelmed by power and greed.” Cruz Gonzalez-Cadel appears as the nun Isabel. Gonzalez-Cadel is an ensemble member at Teatro Vista, with recent Chicago credits including Court Theatre’s The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice and Goodman Theatre’s The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci. She has been featured as one of the Chicago Tribune’s “10 Hot New Faces of Chicago Theatre” and won a Jeff Award for her portrayal of Lela in Steep Theatre’s wildly successful Lela & Co. Appearing as the Duke is Kevin Gudahl, a veteran of more than 40 Chicago Shakespeare productions, whose additional credits include international work with the Donmar Warehouse, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and ﬁve seasons with the Stratford Festival. Adam Poss makes his Chicago Shakespeare debut as Angelo. In addition to credits at Steppenwolf Theatre and Writers Theatre, Poss appeared as Lady Macbeth in Robert O’Hara’s reimagined Macbeth at the Denver Center. In the role of Isabel’s condemned brother Claudio is Andrés Enriquez, who received a Jeff Award nomination for his performance in Porchlight Music Theatre’s A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder and whose additional credits include work at Teatro Vista, Lifeline Theatre, and A Red Orchid Theatre. A veteran of seven seasons at Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Alejandra Escalante portrays Mariana. Escalante returns to Chicago Shakespeare after her acclaimed performance as Helen in last season’s All’s Well That Ends Well. The role of Lucio is played by Gregory Linington, a 12-year company member at Oregon Shakespeare Festival and a 2022 Lunt-Fontanne Fellow. Appearing as Escalus is Lanise

On this day next week, Americans will be voting on YOUR future, your freedom, your rights. I sincerely hope you will vote if you’re registered. If you can’t vote but know someone who can, please get him DR. JUAN or her out to vote. ANDRADE, JR. This election is not President, United just about the last two States Hispanic years or the next two. Leadership Institute, You see, this elec- Inc. tion is about the future of elections. Whether or not we will have elections anymore. Whether your votes will count even if we do have elections. There are candidates in almost every state who have said they would not certify election results if they don’t like who won. That is not how democracy works. I was detained at gun point in Nicaragua by Sandinistas who didn’t want me in their country promoting free and fair elections – something we used to take for granted here but maybe not anymore after next Tuesday. You will decide the future of democracy next week whether you vote or not. If you vote you may help democracy survive. Remember, people who could end democracy will NOT be elected by the people who vote, they will be elected by the people who don’t vote. Democracy is not a spectator sport I was harassed by Panamanian Defense

Forces for three days at 17 public events I held asking voters not to boycott the election. The President dictator had put everyone’s life at risk to keep them from voting so he could steal the election. I begged people to risk their lives to force the President to steal the election and show the world that they were willing to die for the right to vote. The President stole the election and won the battle. But he lost the war when months later he was forcibly removed from ofﬁce and ended up in a U.S. prison because the people exercised the power of their vote and proved they preferred democracy over autocracy. So should we. I went to Haiti to urge people to not give up on democracy although voters had been massacred in the last election. Though Haiti continues to struggle, elections continue to be held and the people are continuing to vote. Don’t take democracy and your right to vote for granted. I’ve worked in countries that used to look up to America as a shining city on a hill. That’s why they invited me - to tell them how democracy works in America and show them how democracy is supposed to work. After January 6, 2021 our image has changed, has been seriously tarnished. Irreparably? That question will be answered next Tuesday, November 8. Please vote and help your friends and family get out to vote. Thank you.

EDUCACIÓN

NIU College of Education, City Colleges of Chicago pave 2+2 paths in kinesiology, sport management DEKALB, ILL. — City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) students now have a seamless “2+2” transfer pathway to bachelor’s degrees in Kinesiology and Sport Management from the Northern Illinois University College of Education. Thanks to a newly signed articulation agreement, students completing Associate of Science degrees who are interested in those majors can begin to enroll at NIU as soon as January, although initial recruitment will focus on the fall semester of 2023. Available to students from all seven of CCC’s campuses, the opportunity to become Huskies falls under the Guaranteed Admissions Program and comes with the possibility of receiving NIU Star Scholarships of $3,000 per year for two years. More than 1,300 CCC students currently are in academic programs that align well with Kinesiology and Sport Management. Steve Howell, chair of the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, calls the new afﬁliation between the two schools “a logical ﬁt.” “Our partners at City Colleges are very enthusiastic about having a partner that was within a short drive, one where they could actually come out and see where they were sending their graduates. It was very important for them,” Howell said. “We showed them our buildings, our facilities and the structure of our courses. We took them to see NIU Athletics and all the opportunities there for their graduates to grow,” he added. “They were excited that their students could come to a place that was welcoming, that had a sense of belonging and that was a place for them to grow even more

– moving forward eventually to becoming NIU graduates.” City Colleges of Chicago Chancellor Juan Salgado shares that hope. “An education at NIU is sure to open more doors to career success for our students who transfer there. NIU also embraces diversity and is an incredibly welcoming environment for our students,” Salgado said. “We are thrilled to partner in these pathways because of these factors and so much more.” Articulation agreements between four-year universities and community colleges provide students with a prescribed, sequential set of general education courses for their first two years near home and put them right on track when they arrive at NIU for their major-specific curriculum. Coordinated academic advising, along with an earlier introduction to the college’s Office for Student Success, creates strong relationships that yield improved enrollment management, retention and graduation rates. Students who pursue NIU’s B.S. in Kinesiology study scientific principles that regulate behavior change and performance, including physiology, biomechanics, psychology, measurement, gerontology and nutrition. They go on to use exercise as a form of medicine in their work at a variety of health, wellness and sport performance settings. The curriculum also prepares students for graduate school in exercise physiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, sport and exercise psychology and sport management. NIU’s B.S. in Sport Management prepares stu-

dents for the extensive career opportunities available with professional franchises; collegiate athletic departments; marketing and management ﬁrms; parks and recreation operations; and more. Strong relationships with Chicagoland’s many sport organizations and with NIU’s NCAA Division I athletics program provide students with outstanding experiences for hands-on learning and networking. Students also can pursue the Sport Sales Minor in collaboration with NIU’s renowned Sales Program, housed in the College of Business. Ron Smith, director of Community College Partnerships at NIU, said the university is “thrilled to embark on these two transfer pathways.” “The City Colleges of Chicago has been a long-standing academic partner with NIU, and we will continue to expand transfer avenues for CCC students culminating in bachelor-degree attainment,” said Smith, who worked with Amanda J. Williams, district director for Transfer Programs and Services at the City Colleges of Chicago, to bring the partnership to fruition. “Over the past two years, NIU and City Colleges of Chicago have been intentional in our commitment to our institutional relationship,” Smith added, “with a heightened focus on strategic program alignment.” David Walker, the NIU College of Education’s associate dean for Academic Affairs, said the new 2+2 agreements also are strategic for enrollment and for diversity. “We have a great number of relationships with Rock Valley, Waubonsee, the College of DuPage, Elgin and the College of Lake County, and with ru-

ral schools such as Kishwaukee College. This really adds to that portfolio with a true urban partner,” Walker said. “Our new transfer applications from City Colleges, averaged over the last four years, were 11 applications, seven admissions and three students confirming their intent to enroll in one our undergraduate program in the College of Education – so the numbers are very small at present,” he added. “We feel very confident with this 2+2 program, and with our relationship with City Colleges, that these numbers will go up exponentially and be beneficial to both partners.” Meanwhile, Walker said, Kinesiology and Sport Management have proven prime interests for transfer students. Sixty-six of this fall’s 190 new transfers are in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, he said. Of those, 31 are majoring in Kinesiology and 18 are majoring in Sport Management, meaning those two majors were the destination of 26% of Fall 2022 transfers. And, Howell said, Kinesiology and Sport Management make sense given the thriving sport industry in Chicago. “Malcolm X College has a beautiful new building,” Howell said, “and thinking about it from a sport management lens, they’re a hop, skip and a jump away from the United Center. That could potentially create some partnerships where we could connect and recruit students by hosting an event with some of the local sports teams around that building, whether it be teams housed at the United Center or other sport-based entities in Chicago.”

Wintrust Community Banks Honors 30 Chicagoland Latinx Leaders in Second Annual Award Event

Evening honored winners from business, education and local government sectors (ROSEMONT, ILLINOIS) —Thirty Chicagoland Latinx leaders from the business, education and local government sectors were honored for their notable achievements during the second annual Latinx Community Awards at Wintrust Financial Corporation in Rosemont. The sold-out event was a collaboration of Fig Factor Media, an international media company, and several Wintrust Community Banks. Wintrust Community Banks recognized these established award winners who are making a difference, instigating positive change, and impacting the people in their communities. The winners were the following: Alma I. Wright, Rachel M. Lara, Maria Castro, Heidy Mendez Grimaldo, Rober Reyes, Alex Guzman, Luciano Medellin, Arturo Flores, Jasmine Lopez, Pete Gonzalez, Jesus Ruiz, Paula Carballido, Federico Kliora, Suzanne Martinez, Erica Vega, Pedro Guerrero, Marco Romero, Erendira Loza, July Franco, Wilvert Ibares, Guillermo Memo Trujillo, Julio Cesar Valdez, Ricardo Montoya Picazo, Marisol Troncoso, Maria Llangardi, Melisa Quinones, Rosa Cojulun, Ezequiel Fuentes, Jose Sanchez, Rey Gonzalez and Priscilla Fuentes. Fig Factor Media CEO Jacqueline S. Ruiz shared with the audience how Wintrust, a trusted partner in her company, believed in her book project about successful Hispanic women for her successful “Today’s Inspired Latina” book series. The series has become the largest collection of Latina stories in a book anthology series in the world. “These moments are what brings us together,” she said. “We know our stories need to be shared and micro-moments like (this awards event) allow us that opportunity to share those stories,” Ruiz said. “If it wasn’t for somebody who believed in you like a mentor, a guide or even your younger brother or sister saying to you ‘Yes, you can!’, (then those stories would never be heard.)” Yaneth Medina, president of Elgin at St. Charles Bank & Trust, a Wintrust Community Bank, explained how individual Wintrust Banks were involved in the nomination process, and representatives from each location came to speak about the winners during the event. Being a community bank, Medina spoke about Wintrust’s mission of connecting with customers such as nonproﬁts, businesses and individuals on all levels--through professional and volunteering interactions. “We are here to elevate our communities,” she said. “And, diversity and inclusion are important to Wintrust not just in the Latino community but at all levels. And so, (these awards) are a way for us to advocate for the (Latinx community.) We’re here for Hispanic Heritage Month, but it’s not just this month; it’s all year round.” Carballido, co-founder and executive di-

MARIA CASTRO, award winner

rector of Lake County Honor Flight, accepted her award and explained how her organization is one of 129 chapter hubs. Her group invites veterans from the World War II, The Korean War and The Vietnam War to fly to Washington DC free of charge for a three-day visit the memorials. “It’s not just about the trip; it is an opportunity for all of us to get to hear their stories,” she said. “Not all of their stories are easy to hear. Some of the veterans that we serve served during an era where they were segregated. They went to serve, and when they came back to the United States, they were mistreated and faced racism. They held on to those experiences for several years. So, what we get to do at Lake County Honor Flight is to share in the healing process of those veterans.” Nominee Daniel Hernandez, who operates Danny the Groomer, his Cicero dog grooming business, and JACKIE, HEIDY AND YANETH also works as a special needs teacher was grateful to be considered for this cial help to get their pets the medical services they need,” he said. “There is a lot that we are award. “As an influencer and business owner, I currently doing to make our Cicero and Chihave the responsibility to be an example of cago communities better places to live.” The following banks were event sponkindness and the responsibility to help others.

Waubonsee President Receives Recognition from the Illinois General Assembly and Area Chambers of Commerce At the October board meeting, Illinois State Representative Keith R. Wheeler, of the 50th district, recognized Dr. Christine Sobek, President of Waubonsee Community College, with a special House Resolution 921. The Resolution congratulates Dr. Sobek on her retirement; commends her dedication, service, and enormous contributions as president of Waubonsee Community College; and wishes her well in her future endeavors. “I have had the pleasure and honor to call Dr. Sobek a friend for the past eight years as I have been a conduit between Waubonsee and Springﬁeld,” said Wheeler. “I am very grateful for all Dr. Sobek has done for our district, our residents, and our families, all while exhibiting the utmost professionalism and grace.” Since Dr. Sobek began her role as president on July 1, 2001, Waubonsee has served 189,429 students earning 2,829,005 credit hours. Through her vision and steadfast leadership, the college has grown locally and regionally across four permanent campuses located in the 624-square-mile college district. Dr. Sobek believes in enthusiastically giving back to the community and is active with the Waubonsee community; she has served on the City of Aurora Education Commission, the Rush-Copley Medical Center Board of Directors, the Marmion Academy Board of Trustees, the Invest Aurora Board of Di-

(FROM LEFT to right): Ms. Rebecca Oliver, Chair of the Waubonsee Board of Trustees; Angie Hibben, President/CEO of the Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Christine Sobek, President of Waubonsee Community College; Ne’Keisha Stepney, Executive Dean for Business, Technology, and Workforce Education and Sugar Grove Chamber representative; Dr. Jamal Scott, Vice President of Strategy and Community Development and Aurora Regional Chamber representative

rectors, the Mutual Ground Advisory Board, the Conservation Foundation Leadership Board, and many more regional and statewide advisory groups. State Representative Wheeler thanked Dr.

Sobek for her transformational leadership and the countless lives she has impacted. Following State Representative Wheeler’s remarks, Dr. Sobek received a Proclamation from several local chambers expressing ap-

preciation for her many contributions and recognizing her upcoming retirement. Participating chambers included the Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce, the Aurora Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Batavia Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce, the Plano Area Chamber of Commerce, the Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce, and the Yorkville Area Chamber of Commerce. Angie Hibben, President/CEO of the Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce, read a portion of the Proclamation aloud, “Dr. Sobek hopes that Waubonsee and the communities will remember her for how she led rather than what she accomplished. You can build buildings and create a master plan, but for her [Dr. Sobek], at the end of the day it was more about how she made people feel and that gets back to her love of psychology and connections.” Dr. Sobek believes it is critical for people to feel afﬁrmed and valued; she hopes that is her legacy. In addition, on behalf of Linda Holmes, Illinois State Senator, 42ndDistrict, Hibben presented an Illinois State Senate Certiﬁcate of Recognition to honor Dr. Sobek for the dedication she has displayed for over 40 years and for serving as the fourth president at Waubonsee. The recognition calls for commemorating her successful career and extends wishes for a happy retirement. For highlights from Dr. Sobek’s term as president, please visit waubonsee.edu/drsobek.

Carolina Pikakacho Fronteras de la Noticia -.cesarlozano.com Siento tristeza al escuchar historias de hijos que juzgan duramente a sus padres, sin ver más allá de lo que son ahora, pues hay que ser conscientes de que cada persona tiene un pasado, que muchas veces ha sido en extremo tormentoso. Cientos de veces he escuchado a jóvenes expresarse de sus padres con las siguientes frases: “Nunca me han querido”, “Quieren más a mi hermano que a mí”, “Nunca me hacen caso”, “No me entienden” ... entre otras. Sin embargo, hay algo que los hijos muchas veces no comprenden: No existe una guía para aprender a ser padres; es complicado educar sin cometer errores. Cabe señalar que también hay padres que no se han esforzado por ser los mejores; muchos son injustos y han maltratado de maneras inimaginables a sus hijos. Es difícil perdonar los tratos violentos, las humillaciones y todo el dolor vivido a manos de personas de las que se esperaba protección y amor. Sea cual sea tu caso, hoy me gustaría plantear estos cuatro problemas que vivieron la mayoría de nuestros padres. Quizá no justi$que su conducta, pero de alguna manera debemos tratar de comprender lo siguiente, para perdonar y seguir adelante: 1. La vida está llena de injusticias. Simplemente así es; debemos aprender a vivir en un mundo en el que no siempre a quien obra bien le va bien. Muchas veces son esas lecciones las que nos pueden dar el carácter que necesitamos para salir adelante. Sólo es parte de la vida. 2. Los padres no son perfectos. Como decía antes, no hay un libro que nos enseñe a ser buenos padres; educar a los hijos no es tarea fácil y, como seres humanos, los padres también pueden equivocarse y por desgracia repetir los patrones que vivieron durante la infancia.

3. Nuestros padres no tuvieron acceso a toda la información que hay hoy en día. La gran ventaja de los jóvenes de hoy es que tienen acceso a gran cantidad de libros, consejos, cursos, e incluso talleres de autoayuda y superación. En cambio, en generaciones pasadas hubo quienes ni siquiera pudieron completar su educación básica. 4. Juzgar a tus padres te convierte en una eterna víctima, que no adquiere responsabilidad de su propio presente. Pues, aunque hayamos vivido una infancia difícil es necesario tener en cuenta que todo rencor, dolor y temor puede ser superado si se tiene voluntad. Es terrible ver la cantidad de jóvenes que han crecido en hogares en que la vida ha sido dura desde temprana edad, sin embargo, muchos lograron comprender los cuatro puntos anteriores, y lejos de juzgar a sus padres, son conscientes de que no quieren repetir sus errores. Lo mejor para vivir en paz con el pasado, y ser jóvenes y adultos llenos de vida, es a través del perdón; es complicado perdonar después de tanto sufrimiento, pero no imposible; dejar el pasado atrás toma tiempo y esfuerzo, mas es importante trabajar en ello para continuar nuestro camino como personas que tienen un futuro prometedor, y no como aquellos que han llenado su vida con odio y rencor. Haber tenido carencias siempre será motivo su$ciente para valorar lo que se tiene. Para luchar con fuerza y lograr objetivos. Para dar lo que no recibiste. La historia está plagada de personajes que tuvieron infancias difíciles y salieron adelante, jóvenes que dejaron atrás el rencor y en lugar de quejarse amargamente de sus padres. Recuerda: hoy tú serás quien determine por cuál camino seguir. Piensa: ¿vale la pena vivir con todo ese rencor, o sería mejor para tu espíritu descansar y dejar ir?

Secretos contra el envejecimiento que agregan años a tu vida

I 15

Agregar años a tu vida podría ser tan simple como hacer algunos cambios en la forma en la que vives. Carolina Pikakacho Fronteras de la Noticia - glamour.mx Cuidar de los demás Dos estudios recientes sugieren claves sorprendentes pero conmovedoras para una vida más larga. Es más probable que acumules años si: Esperas lo mejor. De 100,000 mujeres en el estudio de la Iniciativa de Salud de la Mujer, las cali$cadas como optimistas por cuestionarios especiales tenían un 14 por ciento menos de probabilidades que las pesimistas de morir durante los primeros ocho años del estudio. Cuidar de un ser querido. A pesar del estrés involucrado, los hombres y mujeres que dedican la mayor parte del tiempo a cuidar a su pareja reducen su propio riesgo de morir en un 36 por ciento durante un período de siete años, hallaron investigadores de la Universidad de Michigan en Ann Arbor. No te pierdas estos otros hábitos que, según la ciencia, pueden ayudarte a vivir más tiempo. Establece una meta para una mayor ventaja Ya sea que creas que tienes algún propósito que cumplir en la tierra, o simplemente tienes viajes que planeas hacer y libros que quieres leer, tienes una ventaja de supervivencia sobre las personas con menos objetivos. Eso dicen los investigadores del Centro Médico de la Universidad Rush en Chicago que entrevistaron a más de 1200 adultos mayores. Los ancianos con intenciones y objetivos seguros tenían aproximada-

mente la mitad de las probabilidades de morir que los ancianos sin objetivos durante los cinco años de seguimiento. Expónte a la “vitamina del sol” Los niveles bajos de vitamina D se han asociado con la osteoporosis, la diabetes, la hipertensión y el cáncer. Y se pone peor: según una nueva investigación, los adultos que no obtienen su$ciente de la “vitamina del sol” tienen un 26 por ciento más de probabilidades de morir prematuramente. Un estudio de 12 años de 13,000 hombres y mujeres no detectó ninguna causa de muerte, “porque el impacto de la vitamina D en la salud está muy extendido”, dice el investigador Michal Melamed, profesor asistente de medicina en el Colegio de Medicina Albert Einstein, en el Bronx. Además de beber leche forti$cada, él sugiere que obtengas solo de 10 a 15 minutos de sol al mediodía (11 a. m. a 3 p. m.) varios días a la semana, y apliques protectores solar después de esos minutos. Cuida tu ADN Los hábitos saludables en realidad pueden reparar tu ADN, dicen los investigadores Dean Ornish, y la ganadora del Premio Nobel, Elizabeth Blackburn. Los sujetos de su estudio comieron alimentos integrales vegetarianos con un 10 por ciento de calorías provenientes de grasas, caminaron 30 minutos seis días a la semana, usaron técnicas para reducir el estrés y asistieron a un grupo de apoyo semanal.

¿Los resultados? Además de una disminución en los niveles de estrés y colesterol LDL, mostraron un aumento del 29 por ciento en la telomerasa. Esta enzima repara y alarga los telómeros, pequeños complejos de proteínas en los extremos de

los cromosomas que son vitales para la inmunidad y la longevidad. Los telómeros cortos y los niveles bajos de telomerasa indican un mayor riesgo de enfermedad cardíaca y cáncer, además de un mal pronóstico si te enfermas.

I DEPORTES

Gerardo Anaya Fronteras de la Noticia - unanimedeportes.com Aunque la gestión financiera del París Saint Germain (PSG) corre a cargo del fondo sobe" rano de Qatar desde 2011, su manejo admi" nistrativo continúa siendo un desastre, pues el despilfarro de millones de dólares que cada año le inyectan al plantel contrasta con sus lo" gros deportivos, los cuales no superan la con" quista de títulos locales pese a la gran cantidad de estrellas que militan en el club. Sin lograr trascender fuera de casa, el conjunto parisino es sólo un capricho de los jeques quie" nes recientemente le demostraron al mundo su poderoso músculo financiero al retener a la joya del fútbol francés Kylian Mbappé acosta no sólo de reventar su presupuesto financiero sino incluso de presentar un millonario deficit que se traduce en cerca de 370 millones de eu" ros de pérdidas para esta temporada. De acuerdo con información revelada por el diario L’Équipe, el capricho de retener a Mba" ppé y los elevados salarios que les paga a Ney" mar, Messi y Sergio Ramos no sólo dilapido el presupuesto asignado para esta temporada sino que hizo necesaria una sustanciosa inyección de capital proveniente de Qatar para sostener al proyecto futbolístico. Sin embargo, todo esto le implica a la institución ajustar sus cuen" tas durante las próximas tres temporadas, pues de lo contrario será sancionado por la UEFA. Lo escandaloso del presupuesto de funciona" miento del PSG es que superó los mil millones de euros, esto en gran medida por los 600 mi" llones que representa la permanencia de Mba" ppé en el club. No obstante, sus directivos confían que al ce" rrar la temporada el equipo habrá obtenido 800 millones de euros en ingresos, una canti" dad que suena bastante decorosa, pero no con" vincente entre lo que se invierte con lo que se obtiene. De esta manera, los directivos del PSG tendrán la obligación de responderle a sus aficionados ya no sólo arrasando con el Título y la Copa del fútbol francés, sino con la Champions Lea" gue, pero además fuera de la cancha deberán reducir su masa salarial progresivamente y no superar el 70% de los ingresos en 2025, lo cual realmente luce complicado para una institución acostumbrada a presumir que cuenta en sus fi" las con los cracks más caros del momento.

Taylor Swift elimina la palabra “gorda” de su videoclipp “Anti-Hero”

Carolina Pikacho, Fronteras de la Noticia - EFE Taylor Swift eliminó una escena del video musical que acompaña a la canción “Anti-Hero”, en la que aparecía subida en una báscula que mostraba la palabra “gorda”, después de recibir críticas en internet que le reprochaban un uso negativo del término. La escena, de apenas unos segundos, fue completamente borrada de la plataforma YouTube después de que lo que hiciera Apple Music, aunque el equipo de la artista no se ha pronunciado sobre el cambio. La propia Swift ha descrito la canción y el video como un escaparate de sus “pesadillas” y “pensamientos intrusivos”, ya que habla del peso de la fama y de cómo en ocasiones ha llegado a sentirse una marca en lugar de

una persona, dado su enorme éxito y la cantidad de personas que trabajan para ella. En la imagen eliminada, dos versiones de la artista están en un cuarto de baño. Una, vestida de gala y con actitud arrogante, obliga a la otra, en ropa de estar por casa y algo descuidada, a pesarse en una báscula que transmite sobre una pantalla la palabra “gorda”. Algunos espectadores del video, que suma 38 millones de visitas en YouTube en apenas una semana desde su publicación, criticaron en redes sociales que se utilizara la palabra “gorda” con connotación negativa y acusaron a Swift de promover la gordofobia. La cantante, única mujer que ha ganado tres premios Grammy al Álbum del Año, ya había reconocido anteriormente que durante una etapa

“Midnights”, el último disco de la cantante es un fenómeno de ventas sufrió algún tipo de trastorno alimenticio. En su documental “Miss Americana” explicó que cuando veía imágenes en las que no salía favorecida o leía comentarios sobre su físico, su reacción era “pasar un poco de hambre o dejar de comer”. “Mi relación con la comida era exactamente la misma psicología que aplicaba a todo lo demás en mi vida: si me daban una palmadita en la cabeza, lo registraba como bueno. Si me daban un castigo, lo registraba como malo”, añadió Swift.

HERMANA DE RICKY MARTIN

ROMPE EL SILENCIO ACERCA DE ACUSACIONES Desde hace meses, Ricky Martin lidia con las acusaciones de un sobrino, quien aseguró a las autoridades de Puerto Rico que fue víctima de abuso sexual por parte del cantante cuando era menor de edad.

Carolina Pikacho, Fronteras de la Noticia labotana.com En la primera acusación que Dennis Yadiel Sánchez Martin, hijo de su hermana Vanessa Martin, hizo contra su famoso tío, una juez local desestimó el caso por falta de pruebas. Dennis volvió a presentar un nuevo caso contra Ricky Martin cuando el cantante lo demandó por difamación en US$ 20 millones, alegando que la verdad saldría a la luz. Una de las denuncias que Yadiel ha presentado contra el cantante es que fue abusado s3xualmente por él cuando tenía 11 años cuando lo visitó en Nueva York. !nte tanta polémica, %nalmente la madre del chico, ahora de 22 años, Vanessa Martin, hermana del cantante, compareció esta semana en la corte de San Juan para presentar evidencias en contra de su hijo y

demostrar que Ricky nunca abusó de su sobrino, ya que todo hacía parte de un plan del joven para obtener bene%cios %nancieros. Contradiciendo la versión de su propio hijo, Vanessa entregó pruebas en la corte de que Yadiel había estado amenazando con inventar una historia para dañar al cantante. Ella entregó al juez una copia de todos los mensajes de texto que recibió de su hijo. En un comunicado, Ricky Martin dijo: “Esto es algo que le debo a mis hijos, mi esposo, mi familia y a todos los fans que se han mantenido %rmes en creer en mi integridad. Me siento en paz sabiendo que hoy hemos dado un gran paso en esta batalla legal que no ha terminado”, señaló. Su abogado a%rmó que Ricky fue víctima de un «complot abominable que solo una mente enferma y perversa puede crear».

Tenía en 1980 entonces 11 años y esa es la misma edad que tiene en la ficción de Armageddon Time Paul Graff (Banks Repeta), quien vive con sus padres (Anne Hathaway y Jeremy Strong), su querible abuelo (notable aporte de Anthony Hopkins) y su hermano mayor en la zona de Queens. Paul concurre a una escuela pública donde nada parece salirle bien, pero en la que aflora su pasión por el dibujo. La relación con los profesores y la mayoría de los compañeros no es buena, pero sí engancha con Johnny Davis (Jaylin Webb), un chico negro con un presente mucho más complejo que el suyo. Cuando los padres consideran que necesita “más rigor” lo cambiarán a un colegio privado. Y las cosas, claro, serán aún peor. Estamos ante una autobiografía modesta (quizás demasiado modesta, por momentos con el riesgo de caer en cierta chatura)

| Español

con muchos de los elementos del comingof-age con bullying, amistades, tradiciones judías, violencia familiar (perturbador personaje de Strong, el Kendall Roy de Succession) y rituales varios de iniciación rumbo a la adultez. Todo es muy cuidado, atinado y por momentos incluso querible y sensible en esta descripción de los inicios de la era Reagan en los años '80, pero uno le exige más que una correcta película a un guionista y narrador del talento de Gray, que aquí muestra por momentos algunos elementos que remiten al cine de Noah Baumbach y Wes Anderson. Como curiosidad, la película aborda de manera tangencial el advenimiento de la familia Trump en el universo del poder neoyorquino y, en ese terreno, aparece nada menos que Jessica Chastain en un cameo como Maryanne Trump, la hermana del mismísimo Donald. Uno de los tantos atractivos de una película que, si bien está un poco por debajo de las expectativas previas, no deja de regalar un relato que va de lo entrañable a lo desolador, y viceversa.

Caroilina Pickacho Fronteras de la Noticia - Universal Music Si ayer fuera hoy es el cuarto álbum de estudio del grupo colombiano Morat. Grabado en sistema analógico entre Los Ángeles (Estados Unidos) y Bogotá (Colombia), con el objetivo de mostrar una imagen más madura sin dejar de lado los valores más importantes de la banda: la música, la amistad, la elegancia y lo clásico. Se trata de una colección de 11 canciones con Llamada perdida como primer avance, en la que el grupo muestra un estilo de producción más minimalista y con una exploración de sonidos de la década de 1980, y "una señal de que hay algo que falta por decir". Dan continuidad París con Duki, sobre ese momento en una relación en el que tienes que cuidarte y enfrentarte a la otra persona cuando te das cuenta de que no es bueno para ti; Valen más, sobre la aceptación, el amor propio, y su complejo e in$nito camino; Las cometas siempre vuelan en agosto con Líderes Sociales; 506 con Juanes, con quien ya habían trabajado en 'Besos en guerra'; y Salir con vida con Feid.

Chita Rivera to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award From Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors Past HOLA lifetime achievement award honorees include fellow Broadway alums José Ferrer and Raúl Juliá.

BY LOGAN CULWELL-BLOCK

Living Broadway legend Chita Rivera will be honored with the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actor (HOLA)’s lifetime achievement award at a November 14 ceremony at Instituto Cervantes in New York. The honor, previously given to fellow Broadway alums José Ferrer and Raúl Juliá, will also be permanently renamed for the West Side Story and Chicago star. “I applaud the work HOLA does and am honored to receive their Lifetime Achievement Award, joining their illustrious group of honorees,” says Rivera in a statement. With a more-than-60–year career on Broadway, Rivera is perhaps best known for creating the roles of Anita in West Side Story, Rose in Bye Bye Birdie, Velma in Chicago,

and Aurora in Kiss of the Spider Woman. She has won two Tony Awards, for Spider Woman and The Rink. She was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Tony Award in 2018, recognizing a career that also includes performances in Nine, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and, most recently, The Visit. Rivera is also a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Rivera is closely associated with the writing team of John Kander and Fred Ebb, having starred in their musicals Chicago, The Rink, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and The Visit. An upcoming memoir will also cover Rivera’s work with such theatrical luminaries as Stephen Sondheim, Bob Fosse, Dick Van Dyke, Arthur Laurents, Gwen Verdon, Leonard Bernstein, Liza Minnelli, and Hal Prince.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS November 4, 2022 Responsible Entity: DuPage County, Community Development Commission 421 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton, IL 60187 630-407-6605 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by DuPage County. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about November 22, 2022, DuPage County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds, in accordance with Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (P.L. 93-383), as amended, to undertake the project known as the Community Park Rehabilitation project. The proposed project will rehabilitate existing recreational facilities and construct new recreational facilities within the existing community park.

Total estimated cost for this project is $2,000,000 which includes $1,000,000 of Community Development Block Grant funding. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT DuPage County has determined the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Records (ERR). The ERR will be made available to the public for review either electronically or by U.S. mail. Please submit your request by U.S. mail to DuPage County Community Development Commission 421 N. County Farm Road, Room 2-800, Wheaton, IL 60187, or by email to communitydev@dupageco.org.
