DAILY HERALD
— ‘So glad that this day finally came’: Cpl. Williams’ mom, friends see Warrenville post office renamed in his honor at last – Katlyn Smith
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190608/so-glad-that-this-day-finally-came-cpl-williams-mom-friends-see-warrenville-post-office-renamed-in-his-honor-at-last

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Through letter campaigns and petition drives, Mike Barbier, now a Wheaton city councilman, and his fellow South classmates enlisted the support of lawmakers who passed a bill signed by President Donald Trump last December to rename the post office after Williams. Barbier knew Williams as a social butterfly in high school. Shortly after graduation, Williams joined the Army, motivated by a call of duty after the Sept. 11 attacks.)

— Opportunities await grads who are prepared – Frank Napolitano, Chairman of the Board, College of DuPage, Bloomingdale (DIERSEN: If I had not had a high school diploma, the Post Office would not have hired me in 1966 when I was 18 years old. If I had not had a job-related bachelor’s degree, Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, and IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not been taking job-related graduate courses, IRS might not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974. If I had not earned a job-related master’s degree in 1976, if I had not passed the CPA examination in 1979, and if I had not almost completed the requirements for a second job-related master’s degree, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. If I had not completed the requirements for a second job-related master’s degree in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981, GAO might not have promoted me in 1986. If I had not earned job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997 and completed the requirements for a third job-related master’s degree in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors might have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American, and/or draft avoider, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefitted from their racism and from their sexism and the more reparations that you should pay.

I should write a book about how Milton Township officials and employees have treated me since 1978, and especially since 1999. Since the 1980s, they have been under tremendous pressure from my critics/opponents who have lots of religious, government, political, and financial clout in Wheaton and Glen Ellyn to get rid of me.)

HERALD NEWS
— Conflicts of interest can be interesting in Joliet – BOB OKON
https://www.theherald-news.com/2019/06/07/okon-conflicts-of-interest-can-be-interesting-in-joliet/a5gw6tz/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Interim City Manager Martin Shanahan meets the job description to become the permanent city manager, the city council was advised last week. Interim City Attorney Chris Regis provided the opinion because the matter had been raised by at least one council member. Interestingly enough, Regis delivered the opinion moments before Mayor Bob O’Dekirk declared that city staff should not be involved in any application process or candidate search for a permanent city manager because it would be a conflict of interest. The theory is that since all city staff falls under the supervision of Shanahan as interim city manager, they have a conflict of interest in the selection of a new city manager. Therefore, city employees who normally would be involved in a city hiring process cannot be called upon to provide staff support for the council in a candidate search or even in a simple posting of the job. Apparently, no conflict of interest applied to Regis, however, in determining that Shanahan met the job qualifications, although Regis is a city employee who was advising the council on whether they could hire Shanahan for the job.)

All of the following should be lining up to speak out against pot at public hearings: Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, business leaders, religious leaders, healthcare leaders, education leaders, law enforcement leaders, etc.) 
https://www.eagletribune.com/news/haverhill/pot-shop-supporters-picket-opponent-s-restaurant/article_4cd9e075-a0f1-5b5a-99b6-1937ebf4d0a5.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A lawsuit filed against a business that plans to sell recreational marijuana brought about 20 protesters to Railroad Square late Saturday morning. They stood across the street from Mark’s Deli, whose owner along with two other plaintiffs has challenged the city’s decision to allow the opening of a pot shop in the now-vacant quarters of the Sons of Italy at 124 Washington St. The lawsuit alleges that allowing the shop violates the constitutional rights of nearby property owners, violates federal narcotics laws and is detrimental to Haverhill. “I believe strongly we need to get the underground economy into the mainstream,” said Douglas Edison, a longtime community activist who is running for City Council. “Why are we stopping it? You can’t just say ‘no’ to everything,” he said. Edison pointed out the shop will pay taxes to the city. “We need money for schools,” Edison added. Caroline Pineau, who already owns and operates the Yoga Tree at 90 Washington St., hopes to open the recreational marijuana store. “I’ve been fighting for this for 15 years,” said Michael Crawford of Marblehead. He called the lawsuit “frivolous.” A friend of his who suffered from mental health problems and addiction had a very positive outcome after he started using medicinal marijuana, Crawford said. “It turned his life around,” he said. Crawford wore a shirt bearing the message, “more weed, less greed.” Another City Council candidate, Nick Golden, said Pineau is being “unfairly targeted” by the lawsuit. “She represents the type of person and entrepreneur that we’re trying to attract,” said Golden, who is on the staff of state Rep. Lori Ehrlich, D-Marblehead. “I think it’s really important to support small business owners,” Christina Barbieri, a former Haverhill resident, said. She and others noted that possession of marijuana is now legal in Massachusetts and that Haverhill voters supported this change. The protesters held signs with messages such as “drop the lawsuit.” Many motorists driving by honked in support of the cause. A few people voiced their objection to having a pot shop in the city, Crawford said. One man confronted the protesters and called them “immature.” As he walked away from the group, he extended his two middle fingers. Two police officers were assigned to the demonstration, which remained orderly. Officer James Keenan advised the man who made the obscene gestures to not cause a disturbance. Jess Hileman, a lifelong Haverhill resident and longtime patron of Mark’s Deli, said he does not think the owner of the restaurant objects to having a pot shop in Haverhill. “He only opposes the location,” he said. Hileman also said he did not think it was fair that some of the protesters were depicting the owner as a bad guy. A patron at Mark’s Deli said the owner did not want to speak to the media. The lawsuit lists the plaintiffs as Bradford Brooks, a local realty professional; Lloyd Jennings, a contractor; and Steve Dimakis, owner of Mark’s Deli. Brooks and Jennings are described as trustees of L&B Realty Trust. Dimakis is identified as a trustee of the Evthokia Realty Trust.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public records show that lies went unchecked during the hiring process for a former Victoria teacher and coach accused of sexually assaulting a student. James Christopher White, 34, was arrested in February on charges of sexual assault of a minor and improper relationship between an educator and student while working as a wrestling coach and special education teacher in Victoria. The charges, which are under review by prosecutors, came after he admitted that he attempted to have sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old student in a hotel room during a school-related function, according to court records and officials from the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office. A more detailed background check on White would have revealed red flags: the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, or TCOLE, revoked his peace officer and jailer licenses in 2012. The action came after he was terminated and dishonorably discharged for untruthfulness or insubordination from Mathis and Orange Grove police departments, according to records from all three agencies.)

— So You Want To Hire A New Superintendent: What Does The FOIA Permit (And Require)? (DIERSEN: Nothing stops applicants from disclosing a) that they had applied, b) the documents that they submitted, c) if they will be interviewed or were interviewed, d) if they were eliminated, e) etc.) 
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/so-you-want-to-hire-a-new-48064/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Personnel Search Committees” and the Screening Process: As for its actual search, the board could vote to create a personnel search committee. Such a committee, when formed with respect to an “executive level” position (such as a superintendent), is exempt in its entirety from the FOIA and its open meetings and notice/posting requirements. The appointment of such a personnel search committee is useful in that it protects the privacy rights of those being interviewed and avoids the need of the board to take official action in narrowing the field of candidates (even to the final recommended candidate) as part of the interview process. The FOIA also protects from disclosure any records of a personnel search committee which would reveal the identity of a candidate (without that candidate’s consent). . .Not all gatherings of a board committee ostensibly acting as a search committee will be considered exempt from the FOIA’s meetings and posting requirements. A personnel search committee is exempt from the FOIA’s requirements for only as long as it is engaging in activities protected by the search committee exception. Based upon the FOIA, the Freedom of Information Commission [“FOIC”] views the role of a personnel search committee for purposes of this FOIA’s exemption as limited to 1) reviewing resumes, 2) interviewing and screening candidates and 3) considering and recommending the selection and appointment of an individual for the position.)

My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974.

I should write a book about how my a) Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government used and b) how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois use my 100% German national origin against me. They constantly foisted/foist negative German stereotypes on me. In my defense, I stress that they all my ancestors immigrated way back during the 1840s and 1850s, that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans during WWII, and that if he had not been 4-F, my father would have fought the Germans during WWII. If DNA information had been available back when I worked for the federal government, I would have stressed that. According to http://dna.ancestry.com, my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

Since September of 1997, when I was 49 years old, in today’s dollars, I have had to cut my spending by $6,195/month, or by $74,338/year, or by $1,616,895. In today’s dollars, in 1997, my GAO salary was $127,654/year. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $53,316/year, or $74,338 less each year.)

http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php/news/61455-clearlake-city-council-to-consider-applicants-for-vacant-council-seat
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a special Thursday afternoon meeting, the Clearlake City Council will consider applicants for a vacant council seat. The council will meet at 3 p.m. Thursday, June 6, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive. On May 9, Mayor Nick Bennett resigned as he prepared to move to South Dakota, as Lake County News has reported. At a May 13 special meeting, the council directed City Clerk Melissa Swanson to advertise the vacancy for appointment and accept applications with a June 4 deadline. The city has received six applications for the seat, which has a term ending in November 2020. Applicants are Cristina Azanza, the founder of a nonprofit, Azanza Inc.; David Claffey, a marketing and communications professional who serves on the city’s marketing committee; Desserrie Shaw, who has experience as a board member and president of the Konocti County Water District; Erin McCarrick, who owns cannabis companies Clearlake Ventures and Cara Farms and a consulting business, Madrone Strategies; Russell Perdock, the city’s former mayor who resigned last year to pursue the police chief’s job and now is director of community integration for Adventist Health Clear Lake; and Pattie Duke, a registered nurse case manager. Swanson’s report to the council said staff is recommending that the council interview the six applicants at Thursday’s meeting. The candidate they pick will be approved for the appointment by motion, majority vote and resolution. The appointee would then be given the oath and seated at the June 13 meeting, Swanson said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination may be against the U.S. labor laws, but I’ll bet you or someone you know has been on the wrong side of this form of discrimination in the workplace. In fact, nearly two out of three workers aged 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job, according to an AARP workplace survey. So let’s face it: It’s real, and you need to know how to deal with it. As a career coach, I know firsthand that many professionals feel one of their greatest career challenges after age 40 is age discrimination. To help overcome this obstacle, I’ve developed several tips that have helped people of a certain vintage successfully navigate the job market.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Displacement and immigration enforcement are like a two-headed dragon for our families,” Rios-Sierra said. The lack of affordable housing in her neighborhood, plus landlords that require background checks and fingerprinting, have forced out her Latino neighbors from the community, she said. LSNA is focusing its efforts on Hermosa, the neighborhood just west of Logan Square, where a lot of displaced residents have moved, Rios-Sierra said. “There is still a strong immigrant stronghold [in Hermosa], and we’re trying to maintain that.” She added that the loss of immigrant populations also results in a loss of culture. “It’s really sad to see residents moving in who are upset about an ice cream truck making noise in the summer, or people having their quinceañeras in their backyard,” Rios-Sierra said. “Those are things that really celebrate who we are, so it’s really hard to see people come in and dislike it and complain and call the police.” Sylvia Puente, executive director of the Latino Policy Forum, said that the drop in the immigrant population is a trend that deserves attention, but that the numbers are not particularly alarming. “This is 31,000 over 10 years,” Puente said. “It’s not 31,000 in a year. It’s like 3.000 people per year.” Puente attributed the decrease, particularly among Mexican immigrants, to a slowdown in migrants coming to Chicago from Mexico, which has had a stronger economy in recent years than it did in the 1990s. She also pointed out that the decline could be a sign of other trends, such as the upward mobility of Mexican immigrants who arrived in the 1990s, gained an economic foothold in the city, and then took their families to the suburbs. In addition, Puente said Chicago is no longer the sole point of entry for immigrants, as it was in previous decades. “They go directly to Skokie. They don’t stop in Chinatown anymore,” Puente said. “They go directly to Palatine, Carpentersville, Waukegan, Elgin and Aurora; they don’t go to Pilsen and Little Village anymore.” The Metropolitan Planning Council’s report showed that Chicago’s immigrant population decline is higher among less-educated immigrants, those without a high school diploma. The number of Asian immigrants has increased, although they make up a considerably smaller portion of the total population.)

— 8 resume mistakes that can (and will) make you look old When you’re job hunting after age 50, the last thing you want is to appear prehistoric on paper. So steer clear of these flubs. – DANIEL BORTZ (DIERSEN: How old are you? I was born in 1948. I am 70. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/resume-mistakes-that-can-and-will-make-you-look-old
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mistake No. 2: You list every job you’ve ever had. . .Mistake No. 3: You brag of skills that are passé. . .Mistake No. 4: Your email address is vintage 1990s “It’s ridiculous to think something as innocuous as aol.com at the top of the resume will knock you out of the running, without a further consideration, but there is a chance that it might,” says Dawn Bugni, a professional resume writer in Atkinson, N.C. “Is it fair? No. Does it happen? Yes.” Instead of using your hotmail or AOL address from the 90s, upgrade to a Gmail account. . .Mistake No. 7: You call attention to your age Although the Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibits employment discrimination against persons 40 years or older, plenty of 50-plus workers sense that it can be a problem. Many job seekers make the mistake of revealing their age by including their college graduation date on their resume, says Ward. The best approach is to simply leave it off. That may not solve the problem, of course. In AARP’s survey, 44% of respondents who had applied for a new job in the past two years reported being asked their age or graduation year. For tips on how to answer that and other ageist job interview questions, check out this story.)

ASSOCIATIONS NOW
— MANAGING AN UNDERPERFORMER – Maureen Glass (DIERSEN: To get rid of me, my Democrat superiors in the federal government always painted me as being and underperformer. That is why they were furious when I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

FED SMITH
— 4 Emotions New Federal Retirees May Experience – Brandon Christy (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, to get rid of me, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government subjected me to a hostile work environment.) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_work_environment). They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.) 
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/06/03/4-emotions-new-federal-retirees-may-experience/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Relief provides a feeling of reassurance and relaxation once anxiety and stress have been released. Since we were young we have experienced good times and bad. Life has been full of uncertainty. The cloud of doubt as to whether or not you will make it to retirement is no longer lingering over your head. Instead, your time is yours to enjoy and spend how you see fit. This is your time. Your year. Your moment. Make the most of it. The transition from federal employee to federal retiree is not an easy one. It takes time and patience to start all over again. Essentially you are recreating yourself. Hang in there. Be aware of the emotional obstacles that you may face along the way. Enjoy the ride anyway.)

NBC 5’s Regina Waldroup reports. (DIERSEN: To drink booze and to smoke pot is to impair yourself. Why would any employer hire, retain, or promote those who impair themselves? Pot stays in your system far longer than booze. One reason why IRS promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and GAO promoted me in 1986 is that unlike many of my coworkers, I did not drink booze.)

— Law enforcement, media changed standards for Trump – Byron York (DIERSEN: If you are a Trump-supporter, the more demographics that you share with Trump, a) the more likely that Trump-haters will accuse you of being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things and therefore, b) the more reason why you should always wear a body camera.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-law-enforcement-media-changed-standards-for-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the more unfortunate effects of the Trump-Russia investigation — and there have been many — is the weakening of traditional standards of argument and proof in the public debate over allegations that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election. (Just for the record: It didn’t.) In particular, angry disputes about the president have done terrible harm to the principle that an investigator, be it a journalist or a prosecutor, should meet at least some standard of proof before leveling an accusation.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: ACT, which calls itself the nation’s largest national security grass-roots organization, advocates for upholding Western values and combating the threat of radical Islam, according to the organization’s website. But the Southern Poverty Law Center put the group on its list of domestic hate groups “because it pushes wild anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, denigrates American Muslims and deliberately conflates mainstream and radical Islam.” Greg Padovani, chairman of the Veterans Memorial Committee of Arlington Heights, said he received about a dozen complaints via phone and email about the ACT chapter’s inclusion in the parade and for leaflets marchers were handing out along the parade route. Padovani said he and other committee members investigated the group’s website, but could not find anything espousing hate or violence.)

WORKFORCE
— When Job Applicants Lie: Implementing Policies to Protect Your Company Employers should implement a clear and uniform policy about the consequences of lying or providing false information on an application. – Joshua Y. Joel, Natasha L. Wilson (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, everyone seeking or holding any kind of government or political job or office should be subjected to a comprehensive and extensive background investigation.)
https://www.workforce.com/2019/06/01/when-job-applicants-lie-implementing-policies-to-protect-your-company/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recent study revealed that 85 percent of employers have caught applicants lying on their résumés or job applications. The most common lies involve modifying dates of employment, falsifying credentials, training or degrees, inflating prior earnings, or hiding a criminal history. Throughout the past several years, there have been several stories of prominent executives and CEOs, across many industries, whose careers were cut short for lying on their job applications or résumés. What should human resources professionals do when they discover that an employee has lied on their job application or résumé? How can employers avoid liabilities stemming from application falsification? What are the legal consequences for employers? Preemptive Measures The first step employers should take to avoid potential pitfalls is to implement a clear and uniform policy about the consequences of providing false information on an application. For example, a brief disclaimer can be included near the signature line of the employment application, in which the applicant affirms and agrees that providing false, misleading, or incomplete information on an application, in a résumé, or during the interview process is grounds for disqualification from employment or termination if hired. The disclaimer should also expressly waive any liability for the employer if the applicant is not hired or is terminated for providing false information. More importantly, employers should be consistent in enforcing this policy. Consistency can protect the employer from legal liabilities — and countless headaches — down the road. To accomplish this, employers should document every applicant’s receipt of the policy. If a background investigation reveals that an applicant or employee clearly lied on his or her application, the applicant should be rejected or the employee terminated immediately. If the employer only suspects a falsification, HR should engage in a fair and impartial investigation and document its findings. Depending on the results, disciplinary action should be taken. When assessing an applicant’s background, employers should focus on convictions and not arrest records. Otherwise, applicants may be unfairly prejudiced in the hiring process based on unsupported criminal allegations. Conducting Pre-Employment Background Checks Recent federal and state laws have presented hiring professionals with new compliance challenges when conducting a background screening. For example, while there are no federal laws requiring home health agencies to conduct criminal background checks or disqualify applicants from employment based on the results, there are 41 states that require these agencies to conduct criminal background checks. Those requirements in those 41 states vary widely, including when the background check must be completed, what sources of information must be checked, which positions require background checks, and which convictions, if any, result in disqualification from employment. The benefits of conducting criminal background checks in the hiring process often outweigh these challenges, especially in fields — such as health care or government contracting — where a failure to conduct screenings can result in hefty consequences. While many employers may prefer to use social media to research an applicant’s background, employers should exercise caution when using an applicant’s protected characteristics (like race, religion, age or gender) as a basis for refusing employment. Understanding the legal landscape as it relates to information an employer may request of an applicant is also key. For example, some states have laws that prohibit employers from requesting an applicant’s social media username and password. Additionally, some states have legislation referred to as “Ban the Box,” which prohibits employers from asking about criminal history on a job application. Unforeseen Benefits of a Consistent Policy In most cases, implementing a strong application falsification policy can result in some unexpected positive benefits. For example, many states have laws prohibiting employers from revoking job offers based on the discovery of a misdemeanor or other types of conviction with no relevance to the applicant’s suitability for the position. Nonetheless, even though the employer cannot revoke the offer because of the conviction itself, the employee’s misrepresentation about the existence of the conviction is grounds for revocation. For example, in a Pennsylvania case, the plaintiff only disclosed two convictions — stalking and harassment — on his application. But a background investigation revealed that he had pleaded guilty to eight additional crimes, including public drunkenness, disorderly conduct and drug crimes. The company revoked his offer. The district court determined that the company did not violate Pennsylvania’s criminal background check statute because the termination was not for the employees’ conviction, but his lie about it. Importantly, the district court relied heavily on the company’s implementation and communication of a consistent policy forbidding applicants from lying on their applications. In a similar vein, companies faced with discriminatory failure to hire claims have successfully argued that the later discovery of falsified job applications is a complete defense against the claims. In other words, if the company would not have hired the employee had it known of the applicant’s lie, the applicant cannot later claim that he or she was not hired because of a protected characteristic. Here too, courts look closely at the company’s fair, equitable and consistent enforcement of its application falsification policy to establish that the company’s decision was not motivated by discriminatory intent. Another benefit of maintaining a strong background check policy is that it can absolve or limit the company of liabilities down the road if the employee is terminated. Oftentimes, in the course of litigation over wrongful termination or discrimination claims, exhaustive background checks into the plaintiff reveal criminal histories previously unknown. While an employer may still be on the hook for some damages if the decision to terminate was indeed discriminatory, the Supreme Court has held that a reward of back pay can be cut off completely — and the plaintiff’s potential damages significantly limited — if the employee’s wrongdoing was so severe that the company would have terminated the employee in any event if it had been uncovered. As a result, employers can potentially limit their exposure to liability in later wrongful termination claims by consistently enforcing a no-tolerance policy for application falsification. While not every application falsification results in a high-profile CEO or executive separation, the problem is common across industries. HR professionals should take care to review their company’s job application process with the help of legal counsel to implement a fair and equitable policy that is compliant with state and federal regulations and train interviewers and hiring professionals of what they can and cannot ask. The fix can be quite easy, and the benefits are great.)
