Local Gospel Director makes first live CD
One of the most prolific musicians in Racine, Tim Johnson has been working for the last several decades to put material together to introduce his first soundtrack for a upcoming CD. More than a few hundred waited with great anticipation at St. Paul Missionary Baptist church to take part in what Bishop Lawrence L. Kirby described as a, “historical moment in Racine’s history.” The church located 1120 Grand Avenue was at capacity to listen to several dozen singers and ministers at what was billed as, “Johnson’s Live Gospel Album Recording”, Friday, July 9, 2010. A number of artist and entertainment performers were present and ready to lend support for the event. Participating in the three-hour event was recording artist Frozene Hayes, and Leanne Faine headlined the show. Other local singers and songwriters were: Ministers Tiwan Strong, Antonio Crane, Robert Smith, and Shiraune Samuels, Serena Smith, Dr. James Kinchen, Cornelius Smith, and Dr. Renee' Kirby . Seven Racine choirs participated in the city mass choir. They were Searching Together Baptist Church, Christian Faith Fellowship Church, Greater Grace Temple, Greater Mount Eagle Church, St. Paul Baptist MB Church, Zoe Outreach Ministries, and New Omega Church.

Mrs. Johnnie Simmons
Three score and ten that's the age Sarah CanadaLowrey was blessed to reach on June 27. The matriarch of the Canada Lowrey family celebrated her 70th birthday with 200 family members and friends on July 3, Also attending the event was her 100year-old cousin Mrs. Johnnie Simmons. Sarah is the proud mother of five: Verletha, Idona, Marvin, Wonza, and Garcia; grandmother to 18, and great grandmother to 29 children. Sarah epitomizes the adage "Age ain't nothing, but a number". She walks her two dogs two miles, three times a week. She is an active member of the Greater Mount Eagle Baptist Church, where she serves in a Missionary capacity. Sarah enjoys studying the Bible, bowling, fishing, traveling, training her dogs, and telling jokes to family and friends. Learning to ride a Harley is one of Sarah's plans for 2010. Pictured with Canada-Lowrey (left to right) were: Verletha Canada, Idona Canada, Marvin Canada, the honoree, Wonza Canada, and Garcia Reynolds
SC Johnson announced Wednesday it was donating money to reopen the Laurel Clark Fountain for public use as a splash pad. The donation, which could exceed $200,000, is expected to reverse a city policy that had closed the fountain to children this year. City officials had shut down the fountain because chlorine was corroding its pipes and damaging a pump. Rather than replace the plumbing, the city stopped chlorinating the water. This ran afoul of state regulations, and signs were posted threatening anyone who splashed in the fountain with a ticket. "The residents of Racine – and children in particular – love this fountain," said SC Johnson Chairman and CEO Fisk Johnson. "It's a beautiful, inspiring place for families to gather on a hot summer day so we would like to make sure the fountain is functioning properly and the water is safe." "The city is fortunate to have a great community partner like SC Johnson step forward to make this generous donation," said Mayor John Dickert. "Funding for the renovation and operation of the fountain would not be possible without their support." According to media reports, Fisk Johnson, above, was personally involved in the decision to revive the fountain. The company said it was prepared to take on all costs to bring the fountain up to code, including adding bathrooms and an attendant at the site. The donation should put to rest persistent rumors that it was Johnson Financial that forced the fountain's closure because they didn't want children splashing near their building. Clearly, the Johnson family supports the fountain. The family is planning a quick fix to reopen the fountain this summer, and a longterm fix to solve the underlying issues that forced its closure. In the next few weeks SCJ and the city plan to re-chlorinate the water, provide an attendant and bring in portable bathrooms. At the end of the season SCJ plans to overhaul the fountain's plumbing to solve the problem. "What a tragedy that this fountain is not going to be operating during this summer," Johnson reportedly said. "It's a great fountain for kids and a great memorial to Laurel." "We talked about it and thought, what a great opportunity to help the city by helping to solve this problem for the kids of the city."

After Dark Entertainment Lead to Question Whether or Not Blacks are Welcome Downtown The release of a leaked NAACP report on the "State of Racine's Downtown." Based on comments here and at the Racine Journal Times, it's been a disaster. But that's all surface response to a report that has a lot more to offer. Here's a closer look at what the report was saying and what it could mean for the city: It was a first draft. Based on interviews with people close to the report, the report "leaked" online this week to Insider News and RacinePost was an extremely early draft of a report that will eventually include data and further research. How early was the draft? It was released weeks, if not months, early. The NAACP's Executive Committee is scheduled to meet soon on the report. It's likely at that meeting they'll reveal it was an early draft and commission a deeper look at the allegations and concerns. The committee likely will "clean up" the report before releasing a final document. Where's this all headed? The local NAACP may call for a federal investigation into the treatment of AfricanAmerican-owned bars in Racine. That could be a real problem for the city. City officials aren't taking the report seriously because it wasn't "sanctioned" by the NAACP, according to a source who received a call from a city official. That's somewhat good news, because the report, as it stands, is not in shape to be taken seriously. Ken Lumpkin, owner of Insider News, confirmed Friday a key underlying issue in the report is the treatment of AfricanAmerican-owned bars in the city. A former bar owner himself, Lumpkin said politicians attack bars as a way to look like they're improving neighborhoods. "Historically, white alderman in
Thomas Homes stands behind his at Park 6 Club African-American districts have used closing down African-American bars to show their commitment to improving the AfricanAmerican community," said Lumpkin, who sits on the County Board. There's a noticeable decline in the numbers of black-owned bars in Racine over the last 30 years, Lumpkin said. He estimated the numbers have fallen from about 32 bars two decades ago to about 10 bars today. Of those that remain, some have been required by the city to implement expensive security measures that hurt business. One Racine bar owner estimates they've lost $180,000 following requirements placed on their bar by the
Community Centers set to provide Job Labs City needs Volunteers to assist Job Seekers
The Tyler-Domer, Dr. John Bryant, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Centers will transform their Computer Labs into Job Labs three times a week beginning Monday, August 2. The Job Labs are being set up to offer space and assistance for community members seeking employment. The program is also looking for volunteers to assist job seekers. The Job Labs will be open Mondays from 10 am – Noon at the Tyler-Domer Community Center – 2301 12th Street, on Tuesday evenings from 5-7 pm at the Dr. John Bryant Community Center – 601 21st Street, and on Wednesday evenings from 5-7 pm at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center – 1134 Martin Luther King Drive. “This is another example of the things being done to create great community centers in the City of Racine,” said Mayor John Dickert. “We want to create more than just a place to play basketball and hang out. We want to offer a wide-variety of programs and opportunities to people of all ages and from all walks of life. “The Job Labs are intended to help with one of our community’s biggest
needs – finding people jobs and putting them to work. I’m reaching out to the volunteers in our community who have the expertise to help others in this area. Your participation will be one of the keys to the success of this program and you will become a partner in creating a better community.” In addition to providing work space for job seekers, the Job Labs will offer oneon-one assistance for those seeking employment. Individual help will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. The center’s computers will be available to work on employment-related issues. Internet access will also be available. Qualified volunteers will be on hand to help those seeking employment with resumes, cover letters, interview preparation, job searches, online applications, and a wide range of other employmentrelated activities. To volunteer or for more information about the Job Labs, contact Tom Molbeck at 262-636-9452 or Debbi Embry at 262636-9450.
city, Lumpkin said. Park 6, which may lose its liquor license, is a flash point, Lumpkin said, because it's one of the first AfricanAmerican-owned bars to open in Downtown Racine. Historically, blacks in Racine have entertained themselves at Inner City bars, Lumpkin said. Park 6, and then The Place on 6th, changed that. Lumpkin said there's a general feeling among African-Americans that they're not welcome in Downtown Racine. True or not, he added, there's a sense that minority-owned bars in general are treated differently than white-owned bars. Lumpkin said he hopes the NAACP crunches data on city bars to investigate this.
The best way to solve problems with crowds on Sixth Street, or in any popular entertainment district, is to have police walking beats on busy nights, Lumpkin said. "It's what they do in New Orleans, Memphis, Milwaukee or any area with that many people mixing with alcohol." The leaked draft of the report is fueled by concern among African-Americanowned bars, restaurants and businesses, Lumpkin said. "They're afraid of what the city is going to do," he said. Lumpkin said the report marked an important moment for African-Americans in the city. "This could be, and should be, a turning point in forming a direction," Lumpkin said. "African-Americans being left out of Downtown is probably the greatest issue before the AfricanAmerican community." Strategically, the leaked memo was either a mistake or a brilliant, according to insiders. One said the memo was leaked way too early and left the NAACP in a difficult position. But another said the memo works because it's designed to fire up African-Americans and create an "us vs. them" mentality. Regardless, the NAACP has handled the report poorly. It could easily have distanced itself from the document, but instead held off comment and now is firmly tied to the report. One person compared it to Alderman Mike Shields community forum at City Hall. It was a great idea, but the execution was off and it didn't have much of an effect on the community. Now, the organization needs to call the report out for what it was - a very early draft - and get to work finishing up a document with some actual insights into the city. If that happens, it could be the start of change.
Read what the NAACP feels about downtown Racine According to a source inside the NAACP, a 10 page document will be sent to the Justice Department outlining an investigation that suggest that minorities are not welcome in the Racine Downtown area and discriminatory practices have been utilized to enforce these sanctions. Sources stated a private security firm has been utilized to exclude blacks from participating in downtown activities and the Downtown Business Improvement District employs the firm designed to practice segregationist tactics. Full document is posted on this website. Also Craig Oliver, the organization's community coordinator for the Racine Branch NAACP was tight-lipped Wednesday July 7, 2010 about a report leaked this to this blog site and the Racine Post. The ten page report accuses Downtown Racine "stakeholders" of being "modern day plantation owners". Oliver gave the Insider News blog sight an interview that that you can view.

ALL ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THE NEWS
I’ll Play the Blues for You by Yolanda James Lonne Givens has been given a gift as a Rhythm & Blues singer and musician. He has been blessed to entertain people for 28 years through his music and has spent his life doing what he enjoys. Not only has he had the opportunity to travel all over the world and sing with some of the most famous Rythym & Blues singers of all time, but he is also making a difference in the lives of cancer patients. He travels extensively doing concerts to raise money for the Striving and Surviving Cancer Foundation Yolanda James
Givens joined and works diligently with the Striving and Surviving Cancer Foundation that was formed in 1998 by two women who were cancer survivors, Beverly McCray & Tanya Johnson. He lost a niece to cancer and his mother and aunt are cancer survivors, which is why he is so passionate about doing benefits for the foundation. He knows first hand the devastation and difficulties families face during such a serious illness as cancer. After having dealt with this awful illness, he decided that lip service was not enough and he wanted to do
foundation that caused him to partner with them was their ability to touch the local communities and meet the every day needs of those battling cancer. He shared that the larger national cancer organizations are often not able to help on such a personal level and get involved in the day-to-day activities of cancer patients. The Striving and Surviving Foundation provides emotional support twenty-four hours a day. Visits to the hospital and home are made along with telephone calls, cards, and flowers are provided daily. Transportation services are available for appointments, shopping, etc., as needed. Financial assistance with transportation to doctor appointments out of town and referrals are made on the patient’s behalf by making phone calls to various doctors and organizations to ensure appropriate care for optional services. Childcare help is provided as well. Seminars and reading material are available to educate the public. Givens stated that the foundation seeks to partner with local cancer organizations in the cities, and when a concert is done to raise money, all the funds remain in the location in which the benefit was held. He feels strongly that it will take all the cancer organizations coming together to accomplish such a tremendous task as helping those with this debilitating disease. No one foundation can do it alone. He also stressed the importance of regular doctor check ups for both men and women. Early detection is the key to survival. Anyone wishing to contact the Striving and Surviving Foundation can call 224-565-2680 or 847.473.4029. They will connect you with support groups in your area and provide services you need.
One of the things that impressed Givens about the
NAACP considers resolution condemning racist elements in tea-party movement The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will propose a resolution this week condemning racism within the tea party movement. The resolution, scheduled for a vote as early as Tuesday by delegates attending the annual NAACP convention in Kansas City, calls upon “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.” NAACP leaders said the resolution was necessary to make people aware of what they believe is a racist element within the tea party movement. “I think a lot of people are not taking the tea party movement seriously, and we need to take it seriously,” said Anita Russell, head of the Kansas City chapter of the NAACP. “We need to realize it’s really not about limited gov-
ernment.” Russell said she was “pretty certain” the resolution would pass. Tea party leaders deny that the movement is racist and said the resolution is unfair. “I just don’t see racism in the tea party movement,” said Brendan Steinhauser, director of campaigns for FreedomWorks, which organizes tea party groups. “Racism is something we’re absolutely opposed to.” “The NAACP has more of a political agenda now, but I would hope that they would appreciate the fact that the tea party movement has a lot in common with the civil rights movement. I’m personally inspired by what the civil rights movement did, and I want them to know that.” Among the charges lodged against the tea party in the resolution: •Tea party supporters have engaged in “explicitly racist
Page 6 The Insider News, July 15-30, 2010
behavior” and “displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically.” Tea party activists have used racial epithets, have verbally and physically abused black members of Congress and others, and have been charged with threatening public officials. Tea party supporters also have a distorted view of race relations, the resolution says, citing poll data that found that 25 percent believe that the Obama administration’s policies favor blacks over whites, and 52 percent believe that “too much” has been made of the problems facing black people, compared with 28 percent of the general population.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC On or about August 10, 2010 the City of Racine will submit its 20102014 Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for review and comment. The Plan includes a five-year strategic plan, a one-year action plan for 2010, proposed funding allocations, and annual and cumulative goals and objectives for the City’s federally funded housing and community development activities. Riding down Sixth Street on a new bike, donning a new helmet, a young man yelled out, "That's how we roll!" Both the bike and helmet were gifts from NBA All-Star Caron Butler, who returned to Racine this weekend to take part in his fifth annual bike giveaway. Butler, a Racine native and member of the Dallas Mavericks, hung out in the parking lot of City Hall Saturday while 250 kids between 6 and 16 years old received new bikes and helmets from Walmart. To receive a bike, the kids had to sign a peace pledge and get the signature of a law enforcement officer. The event, called the 3D Bike Brigade, was part of Butler's day-long 3D Summer Explosion. Also Saturday, Butler is hosting a free concert at Memorial Hall featuring national recording artists Wacka Floca Flame and Yo Gotti, along with Washington D.C. radio DJ Big Tigger. The 3D Summer Jam is serving as a fundraiser for the Racine County Food Bank. More than 300 people lined up outside of Memorial Hall Friday night to donate canned food in exchange for tickets. The concert is Saturday at 5 p.m. After the show Butler and other nationally recognized basketball players with Racine ties will meet at the Bray Center for a game.
Interested parties are invited to submit written comments on the Plan no later than July 29, 2010. Comments should be addressed to the Department of City Development, Room 102, 730 Washington Avenue, Racine, WI 53403. Copies of the Plan are available for review at the Department of City Development during normal business hours (8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday) and are posted on the Department’s website. The Department’s telephone number is 262-636-9151. All comments received will be considered by the Department and forwarded to HUD.
Along with basketball, Butler is known for his charitable efforts in cities where he plays. He started the bike giveaways in Racine and developed a similar event in Washington D.C. Both have drawn national attention.

The Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen. --Reinhold Niebuhr
