LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men (sic.) do nothing.” Edmund Burke In 1882 several “good” people of faith, were concerned and troubled by the social conditions in which some of their fellow Chicagoans lived. Determined to assist them in bettering their circumstances, they founded the Chicago Missionary Society, a predecessor of the Community Renewal Society. Since that time of urbanization and industrialization, which brought a massive influx of European immigrants to this city, Community Renewal has endeavored to ensure that the quality of life for all Chicagoans, regardless of their station, racial or ethnic identity, or their economic circumstance, was in keeping with God’s love for all, “especially the least of these.” Chicago still faces glaring inequalities and troubling disparities Honoring our historic legacy, we at Community among its people, including a widening gulf between rich and Renewal Society organize and train good people poor.

  • 31 School Shootings And/Or School-Related Acts of Violence Have
    SCHOOL-RELATED ACTS OF VIOLENCE BY THOSE ON OR WITHDRAWING FROM PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS Between 1988 and Jan. 2013, there have been at least 31 school-related acts of violence committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 162 wounded and 72 killed. (In other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public— neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs). 1. St. Louis, Missouri - January 15, 2013: 34-year-old Sean Johnson walked onto the Stevens Institute of Business & Arts campus and shot the school's financial aid director once in the chest, then shot himself in the torso. Johnson had been taking prescribed drugs for an undisclosed mental illness. 1 2. Snohomish County, Washington – October 24, 2011: A 15-year-old girl went to Snohomish High School where police alleged that she stabbed a girl as many as 25 times just before the start of school, and then stabbed another girl who tried to help her injured friend. Prior to the attack the girl had been taking “medication” and seeing a psychiatrist. Court documents said the girl was being treated for depression. 2 3. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina - September 21, 2011: 14-year-old Christian Helms had two pipe bombs in his backpack, when he shot and wounded Socastee High School’s “resource” (police) officer. However the officer was able to stop the student before he could do anything further. Helms had been taking drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and depression. 3 4. Planoise, France - December 13, 2010: A 17-year-old youth held twenty pre-school children and their teacher hostage for hours at Charles Fourier preschool.

Comment When Does Parental Liability End?: Holding Parents Liable for the Acts of Their Adult Children I. INTRODUCTION On May 20, 1988, Laurie Wasserman Dann entered a Winnetka, Illinois school and opened fire on a second grade classroom. She killed one child, Nicky Corwin, and injured five others. Laurie Dann left many questions unanswered when she killed herself later that day. One unanswered question, which was before the court in the case of Corwin v. Wasserman,' is whether parents can be held liable for the acts of their adult child. The Corwins contended that the Wassermans knew of their daughter's dangerous propensities. Specifically, it was alleged that the Wassermans knew that their daughter had made death threats, set fires, and was reported to have stabbed her ex-husband.2 The Corwins also asserted that the Wassermans controlled every aspect of Laurie Dann's life.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Health and Budgetary Costs of Tobacco Use in Illinois Tobacco-induced diseases cost $785 million in state Medicaid expenditures in 2005; over 1 percent of the state budget in the 2010s went to treating the health effects of tobacco. Tobacco Industry Influence Tobacco industry campaign contributions to elected officials in Illinois between 1995 and 2012 totaled at least $4.9 million. In every two-year election cycle between 1995-1996 and 2011-2012 the tobacco industry gave campaign contributions to most (58% to 88%) state legislators.

  • Suburban Corruption Takes Different Forms Ranging from Officials Hiring Family Members to Police Chiefs Protecting Criminals
    1 The City of Chicago attracts local, national, and even international attention for its long and salient culture of corruption. But the media and the general public tend to overlook the abundant political and public corruption that also exists in many of the region’s suburbs. Patronage, nepotism, cronyism, abuse of power and criminal activity flourish, sometimes for decades, in numerous city halls, police stations and special purpose government agencies in suburbs surrounding Chicago and in the collar counties. Public corruption has afflicted the north, south, and west suburbs. It impacts upper income and lower income villages, towns and cities. More than 130 individuals have been convicted of corruption related schemes in the suburbs since the 1970s, including more than 100 public officials in the last two decades. Far from being an escape from the corrupt practices of the big, bad city, many of the suburbs seem determined to imitate them. There are six categories of corruption-related convictions in suburban Chicago: 1) Public officials with ties to organized crime 2) Nepotism 3) Police officers aiding or extorting criminals 4) Kickbacks and bribes to officials and administrators 5) Large Development Projects 6) Stealing of funds by leaders of school districts and special purpose districts This report shows how suburban corruption takes different forms ranging from officials hiring family members to police chiefs protecting criminals. Cumulatively the many examples in this report contradict the common perception that while Chicago is corrupt, the suburbs have clean, open, and effective governments. In fact, corruption impacts a large number of local 2 governments throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and it has persisted for decades.

  • A Timeline of School Shootings
    A Timeline of School Shootings Compiled by Peter Langman, Ph.D. This is not a complete listing of all incidents of school violence, but rather a chronological list of the attacks contained in the database of www.schoolshooters.info. The primary focus here is on what were intended to be multi-victim attacks, whether or not multiple people were actually shot. In addition, not all attacks were school shootings. Some perpetrators committed violence with other means than firearms; other attacks did not occur at schools, but were committed by people who had recently been students. Date of attack Perpetrator School Location 20 June 1913 Heinz Schmidt St. Mary’s Catholic School Bremen, Germany 18 May 1927 Andrew Kehoe Bath Consolidated School Bath, Michigan 6 May 1940 Verlin Spencer South Pasadena School District South Pasadena, California 4 March 1961 Ove Andersson Kungälvs Allmänna Läroverk Kungälv, Sweden 11 June 1964 Walter Seifert Catholic Elementary School Cologne, Germany 1 August 1966 Charles Whitman University of Texas Austin, Texas 12 November 1966 Robert Smith Rose-Mar College of Beauty Mesa, Arizona 11 February 1970 Robert Cantor University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 11 November 1971 Larry Harmon Gonzaga University Spokane, Washington 28 May 1975 Michael Slobodian Centennial Secondary School Brampton, Canada 27 October 1975 Robert Poulin St. Pius X Ottawa, Canada 19 February 1976 Neil Liebeskind Computer Learning Center Los Angeles, California 12 July 1976 Edward Allaway University of California Fullerton, California 29 January 1979 Brenda Spencer Cleveland Elementary School San Diego, California 6 October 1979 Mark Houston University of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina 17 April 1981 Leo Kelly, Jr.
