Fred DeChiazza was just 23 years old when he opened his first hair salon in Elm Grove, and later expanded to the former Zien's restaurant on Edgington Lane, where he has remained for 16 years. DeChiazza says that with the great help of his family and employees, he is confident that they are going to take Frederick's Day Spa Salon for another 40 years into the future.

The REAL harbinger of spring is the spring peeper. "If you're listening, it's the first frog you're going to hear in the spring," says Lauren Cole, the naturalist at Chief Logan State Park.  The tiny frogs typically begin their chorus in late February or early March when temperatures start to warm up.

On this episode we sit down with Lauren Cole to discuss her two recent reports about Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown's hidden suspension for lying in internal misconduct investigation during his time in Dallas. The suspension was actually for providing false information to a responding officer and then that officer's superiors during the follow investigation regarding action taken by Brown and his partner during a chase of a stolen car that resulted in two accidents. Brown gave these false statements when he knew there was eyewitness testimony to the events that occurred that had to contradict his untruthful recount of events. The second piece the Lauren published is about who must have known about the suspension and didn't say anything to the public or alderpeople who had to confirm his appointment. It is clear that the Chicago Police Board through their vetting process had to know about the suspension but decided anyways to put Brown's name on the short list of candidates that they delivered to the Mayor. Lauren also documents that before the Board sent Mayor Lori Lightfoot their short list she was already interviewing candidates and as Lauren documents there is reporting that the Board knew that Lightfoot wanted Brown as her superintendent and manipulated the short list to make sure Brown was the clear choice. This of course was all done despite his suspension that all of the above covered up. CJP is not saying at this point whether the suspension itself should be disqualifying but instead we hope that we allow people to know the degree to which the process for selecting Brown was corrupted despite the promises of candidate Lightfoot to do things differently than her predecessors. The corruption of the process to select a candidate for superintendent of the Chicago Police Department with a confirmed history of lying multiple times during an internal misconduct investigation should demonstrate the degree to which the Mayor will use her political power to an end that she wants despite it not being good for the city or the residents of Chicago.

Chicago police officer John Catanzara has a history with the police accountability system in Chicago that is exhibit number one in why the system is broken. The failure of the system to remove him from the Chicago Police Department (CPD) has allowed Catanzara to ride a Trumpian movement within the Fraternal Order of Police and win election to be their president. It is like the membership of the FOP was proud to vote for someone that quite literally could be one of the worst officers within the CPD. Catanzara in his 23 years with the CPD managed to rack up 50 complaints from a mixture of complaints filed by everyday people and his fellow officers and superiors within the CPD. In 2007 he managed to rack up 7 complaints within a single year. In 2008 in two separate cases within the same year Catanzara managed to save his job as the CPD sought to termination his employment. Instead the weak Chicago Police Board both times found him guilty of some of the charges but reduced the discipline for Catazara from termination to a suspension of 20 days in each case. Catanzara is the ultimate hypocrite in that he has spent his 23 years on the CPD holding people to account for brekaing rules set by our legislators. Yet, during his entire career he has done nothing but break the rules, dis-obey authority, and show complete disdain for anyone in a position of authority besides himself. This is on full display in the range of social media posts that show his deep seated hatred for a whole range of minorities. The one theme that runs through his social media posts is his strong misogyny. On today's show we talk with intern Lauren Cole who authored our recent report about John Catanzara. On today's show we also cover: Supt. David Brown under fireCity / CPD lie about minority hiring Images from today's show

Our report on the agenda of the Chicago City Council Committee on Public Safety reveals damning truths about just how useless this committee has been on the topics of policing and police accountability over the last 20 years. This incredibly comprehensive report looked at 489 agenda items of 186 meetings over 20 years from 2000 through July 2020. Our report leaves the members of this committee no room to wiggle out responsibility for their lack of interest in regulating the one department in the City of Chicago that is costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars a year in settlements and judgments for misconduct each year. Instead the alderpeople have decided to spend as much time in their committee work focusing on donating use police and fire equipment abroad then they have on regulating policing and the police accountability system. It is a mind blowing abdication of the responsibilities as legislators and members of an oversight committee. It is clear that our report proves that over the last 20 years alderpeople have no desire to take any responsibility for what the police department does on their streets in their communities and uses the police accountability system as a shield to insulate themselves from the repercussions of their lack of action. In today's main segment we feature an interview with the author of the report intern Lauren Cole. Lauren is a recent public policy graduate from the University of Chicago and is interning with CJP this summer. Also on our show today: CJP's response to Alderman Christopher Taliaferro;s comments about our report in the Sun-TimesFOP Watch15th ward Alderperson Lopez's

AJ Langley speaks to Lauren Cole about the mystic, writer, and polymath Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179). We talk about her medical texts, the effect of the humors on reproduction, the use of Adam and Eve, and foaming semen. Brief asides into the "gatekeeping" of the designation of individuals as "mystics" and Lauren's call for everyone to join her on TikTok (@MedievalLauren). Lauren Cole is an independent scholar who works on Hildegard of Bingen. Her primary research focus is on the relationship between Hildegard's visionary theology and her medicine, which has not yet received much academic attention. She is particularly interested in gendered constructions of authority, the presentation of Adam and Eve, and the use of female embodiment in text and image throughout Hildegard's works. Lauren received her MA in History from the University of Bristol in 2018 and will start a PhD in Autumn 2021. She is passionate about public engagement and runs a TikTok account (@MedievalLauren) dedicated to busting myths about the Middle Ages and raising awareness of medieval female mystics. She is the founder of the hashtag #HildegardTok. She also has a blog that you can find at https://medievallauren.wordpress.com/ Notes and updates: At the 4 minute mark, please note that Hildegard's description of the female orgasm is the earliest surviving in the Western canon.

To wrap our minds and bodies around creation stories, whether rooted in culture, faith, Earth, or cosmos can be both comforting and overwhelming. Both religious and scientific traditions have long wandered within the realms of this radical reverence for creation. As this week’s guest, Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker, puts it, “Religious traditions help us to rest in the mystery, scientific traditions are pushing towards discovery…but the origin in awe is very compatible.” As we become mired in the minutiae of our individual existence, we must remember ourselves to be anthropocosmic beings. In doing so, we might find great benefit in once again weaving the threads of connectivity between our cosmological and ecological histories. This week’s episode with Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker explores these truths and many more. Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker is co-director of the Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale where she teaches in an MA program between the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and the Divinity School. With John Grim, she organized 10 conferences on World Religions and Ecology at Harvard. Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker is co-author, with Brian Thomas Swimme, of Journey of the Universe and the executive producer of the film with John Grim. She regularly lectures on the significance of this story for the environmental and social challenges of our times. She has published _Ecology and Religion, Worldly Wonder_, and edited Thomas Berry’s books including _Great Work, Evening Thoughts, Sacred Universe,_ and Selected Writings. Tucker and Grim recently published _Thomas Berry: A Biography_ (Columbia University Press, 2019). Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker’s work explores the intersections between religion, ecology, and academia, and how these intersections are a part of creating structures of change and accountability for our collective planetary community. The conversation between Ayana and Mary Evelyn explores how spiritual traditions can respond to environmental crisis, why it is so valuable to understand the emergence of the early universe as we navigate the Anthropocene, and how we can nourish stories of birth, inheritance, and long lineage between body and universe.

Thomas Chisholm wrote the classic hymn, Great is Thy Faithfulness, as a testimony to God’s enduring love. The hymn calls to mind the words of the prophet Jeremiah in Lamentations 3: "I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” How does one have hope like this? And how can parents and youth leaders nurture children and teens in ways that result in great hope? Our friends Cameron and Lauren Cole have experienced firsthand the kind of tragedy that leads to a downcast soul. But in the midst of that, God gifted them with great hope. We’ll be talking with the Cole’s about Cameron’s new book, “Therefore I Have Hope: 12 Truths That Comfort, Sustain, and Redeem Tragedy”, along with the importance of communicating these truths in our homes and youth ministries, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.
