Open Letter to Minnesota House and Senate Leadership May 9, 2018 To the Honorable Speaker Kurt Daudt and Senator Paul Gazelka: Months have passed since we learned of the thousands of uninvestigated reports of suspected elder abuse and neglect. And nearly three months have passed since the Minnesota Legislature convened in February.

In the meantime, the Minnesota Department of Health continues to receive approximately 400 cases of abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation every week. And in spite of all of this, with only two weeks left before legislators return home to face their constituents, comprehensive legislation has not been passed.

As representatives of vulnerable adults and their families, we urgently call on lawmakers to pass meaningful legislation this year to help prevent elder abuse by protecting residents in long-term care settings. Half measures won’t do.

Our organizations are guided by the fundamental belief that elder abuse is intolerable and an affront to human rights. Minnesota families are counting on state lawmakers to act now and prevent abuse by fixing a broken system.

Today, too few protections exist for vulnerable adults in assisted living. We call for the licensure of assisted living facilities to ensure safe standards; along with protections against arbitrary discharges which can cause undue stress and harmful health problems.

Further, we call for stronger protections against retaliation when families speak out about poor quality of care. We must stop deceptive marketing practices that allow facilities to promise more than they can deliver; and give vulnerable adults and their families the legal tools to obtain justice when harm is done.

Protecting seniors and vulnerable adults is not a partisan issue. We have been working with lawmakers from both parties to strengthen these bills.

We are calling on the legislature to do the right thing and enact legislation that contains these vital protections.

Legislative inaction in the face of the crisis in elder abuse is unacceptable.

Sincerely, Will Phillips, State Director AARP Minnesota Susan Spalding, Chief Executive Officer Alzheimer’s Association Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter Kris Sundberg, President Elder Voice Family Advocates Drew Schaffer, Executive Director Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid Amanda Vickstrom, Executive Director Minnesota Elder Justice Center

Housing supporting those who have experienced homelessness, unemployment and incarceration to be first-of-its-kind in Minnesota

Great River Landing: New hope and possibility Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative and Better Futures Minnesota celebrated the groundbreaking of Great River Landing.

Located at 813 North 5th St. in Minneapolis’ North Loop, the apartment homes for 72 people at Great River Landing will be an innovative employment and housing community, for those impacted by homelessness, unemployment and incarceration.

The May 3 groundbreaking featured local dignitaries including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Fifth Ward Councilmember Jeremiah Ellison.

Developed by Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, Great River Landing will provide supportive housing for people who have been incarcerated. Better Futures Minnesota will be onsite, providing employment services, coaching, and other supports. Supporters say the combination will position tenants without job or rental histories − factors which currently prohibit them from finding a stable home − for long-term success.

“Great River Landing is a visionary endeavor coming at a time when we are grappling with the interconnected issues of homelessness and a criminal justice system that disproportionately impacts people of color, and particularly African-American men,” said Beacon’s executive director, Lee Blons. “And it

will set a new standard for how a community can unlock doors for people who have too often been locked out of systems of stability where they can thrive.”

“As we break ground at Great River Landing, we break ground on a new chapter of hope and possibility, not only for the people who will call it home, but for all of us,” said Timothy HartAndersen, senior pastor at Westminster Presbyterian Church.

Westminster and Plymouth Congregational Churches, collaborating congregations within Beacon, provided leadership in bringing Great River Landing to life. Paula Northwood, acting senior minister at Plymouth, added, “Providing a home, support services, and employment to over 70 people at a time, we’re affirming that our community has the resources and the desire to break the cycles of poverty and incarceration. And we want to see more phenomenal homes like Great River Landing.”

“Creating success stories isn’t just about a getting a job or getting a place,” said Thomas Adams, CEO of Better Futures Minnesota. “It’s about having a support system in place that can help people start rebuilding their lives on their own and Great River Landing will make that possible.”

Great River Landing is scheduled to open in 2019.

Grant targets Black communities

Lawsuit claims U.S. government illegally cut off teen pregnancy prevention funding Hennepin County has filed a lawsuit against the United States government, challenging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s decision to abandon teen pregnancy prevention programs.

This is the eighth lawsuit filed in recent weeks against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in response to its decision last year to end funding for Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants. The lawsuit charges that despite Congress’ funding, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services unlawfully terminated Hennepin County’s grant two years early.

Hennepin County is completing the third year of the five-year grant, which has funded comprehensive sex education and related clinic outreach. County leaders face difficult decisions when the promised $1.5 million annual grant ends on June 30, rather than the same date in 2020.

“Preventing teens from becoming parents until they have committed partners and are ready is among the most important preventive

which include areas that experience the highest rates of teen pregnancy, as well as significant race and poverty disparities.

Since 2007, the number of teens countywide giving birth has decreased by 64 percent. In real numbers, that means that during the program’s first year, 1,152 young women, ages 15 to 19, became mothers. In 2016, the most recent data year, that number had fallen to 418 new teen moms.

Commissioner Mike Opat efforts we do,” said Hennepin County Commissioner Mike Opat. “Our recent success is a model for the entire country and we will not give up the federal grant without a fight.”

Hennepin County officials say that progress did not happen by accident. With the help from the federal grants, as well as limited state and county funding, Hennepin County’s Better Together Hennepin teen pregnancy prevention initiative developed and implemented a range of evidence-based programming options meant to help teens, say officials.

“We know based on the results that our approach works,” said Kathy Wick, program manager of the Hennepin County Public Health Family Health unit.

“We always underestimate

the ability of our youth to make good decisions. But we see all the time that they can make good decisions when you give them information and guidance they need as they are becoming young adults.”

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D), with her colleagues, wrote to the Department of Health and Human Services in opposition to ending the funding. Reps.

Keith Ellison (D-5th), Betty McCollum (D-4th) and Tim Walz (D-1st) did likewise from the House.

District courts in three other jurisdictions have concluded that the federal government violated the law by terminating the grants early.

“When teens wait to become parents, we see better economic futures, achievement of educational goals, improved parental capacity and other positive outcomes in much greater percentages than for teen parents,” said Opat. “We simply have to work to help teens make good choices.

Thanks to our work, kids in areas where rates are high are making better decisions and getting a better start in life.”

American Dream.

In addition to the $60 billion in lending for home purchases, the company committed to increasing the diversity of its sales team and providing $15 million toward initiatives focused on homebuyer education and counseling.

“Homeownership is vitally important, because homes are the building blocks of the American Dream and a proven, sustainable vehicle for building individual and family wealth that can be passed down from generation to generation,” said Cerita Battles, the senior vice president and head of retail diverse segments for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. “Homes make up our neighborhoods and our communities and are a stabilizing force for families, making homeownership a key driver of our nation’s economic and cultural well-being.”

With that understanding, bank officials know their commitment to those interested in becoming homeowners must be communicated to the AfricanAmerican community. To that end, sharing news through the Black Press is also important for Wells Fargo, Battles said.

“Being present in the communities we serve is one of our key strategies for reaching our goals and African-American newspapers are a trusted vehicle for news and information in those communities,” said Battles. “So, having information about being a homeowner and sustaining homeownership is critical to reaching the goals of the commitment and helping more African-American families become homeowners.”

Housing experts have said that it’s important for aspiring homeowners to have as much knowledge as possible about the homeownership process; that information helps to dispel myths that many African-Americans have about homeownership.

“There are many myths that cause a lot of potential African-American homebuyers to assume that getting a home mortgage is something beyond their reach. But many times, this is completely untrue, and that message needs to get out,” said Battles.

“African-Americans need to have the confidence and knowledge to recognize that they can be homeowners, and that a lender, like Wells Fargo, truly wants to help them meet

their home-financing needs. The Black Press, and other media for that matter, helps us share these messages to those who desire to obtain and sustain homeownership.”

Battles noted that it is also important to remember that Wells Fargo’s African-American homeownership commitment is not a separate loan program, but an effort by the company to increase homeowners in the community. Any of the programs, products, and services that Wells Fargo offers are available to all customers who qualify.

She said it’s not really about what the bank is doing differently for African-Americans, but more about how Wells Fargo is showing up for them.

“It’s more about getting the messages to them, meeting them where, when, and how they want to interact with us so that we can leverage all that we have to offer. It’s about education, counseling, and being present in their communities,” said Battles.

In 2016, Wells Fargo committed to offering $75 million in grants and lending to help diverseowned small businesses access capital and technical assistance

by the end of 2020. Battles said that even though the goals of the homeownership commitment are challenging, Wells Fargo is committed to doing what it takes to help increase African American homeowners.

“This commitment is not a sprint, but a long journey that will require the focus of our team and collaboration with industry influencers, nonprofits and other organizations,” said Battles. “If this were just a public relations campaign, we would not have made the goals so lofty.”

“Making this commitment holds us accountable to ourselves, our customers, our communities, and the organizations that joined us in this effort; by pushing ourselves, stretching ourselves, and then delivering on our commitments in a responsible manner, we are ensuring true meaningful progress for African-American homeownership across America.”

Wedge Coop signs on as Insight2Health Fitness Challenge sponsor Afrodescendientes

By Carmen Robles Walking up and down the isles at Wedge Coop, 2105 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, on a beautiful spring Saturday afternoon with a 3-year-old toddler in tow, was better than a walk in the park.

The Insight 2 Health Fitness Challenge (I2HFC) recently celebrated the end of the 10-week grueling fitness boot camp and welcomed round XII partner, Wedge Coop, who gifted all I2HFC XI participants and coaches an appreciation bag.

The fabric grocery bags were packed with informational materials, resources and gift cards in celebration of the new partnership.

Another bonus of the bags? We can take them wherever we go, eliminating the choice between “paper or plastic” forever.

The stroll down the Wedge’s 3,500 square foot facility allowed me the opportunity to see, as described on the coop website, the neighborhood “grocery store, café, catering company,

A coop, short for cooperative, is owned, operated and governed by its members and according to the National Coop Grocers, “Wedge Community Cooperative is the largest singlesite grocery co-op in America.”

How lucky are we to partner with a national legend?

More validation of the groundbreaking work I2HFC is doing to grow small businesses,

engage the collective support of community-based organizations, inspire, promote and connect accessible health and wellness resources in our community.

The Wedge Coop mission statement declares a belief that “providing access to real food made by real people makes a difference in our lives, our neighborhood and for our planet.” That core principle makes Wedge Coop a perfect partner to compliment

the Insight 2 Health Fitness Challenge Round XII, beginning today (May 14) and running through July 21, said Al McFarlane, announcing the fitness challenge’s promotional partnership with the Wedge Coop.

Individuals can still join round XII of the I2HFC. For more information or to register call (612) 588-1313 or email carmen@insightnews. com.

when we were having snack time, which was Oreo cookies and milk. After eating all of my Oreos and becoming very thirsty I asked the girl next me to help me open my milk carton because I didn’t know how. She looked down at my hands that were covered in cookie crumbs and yelled out “eww look at her hands” in front of the whole class. The kids started to laugh and join in saying “ewww.”

I got in the car after school that day and cried to my mom about the kids laughing at me because I did not know how to open the carton. My mom was devastated because it had never crossed her mind that learning how to open a milk carton was a life skill she had to teach me prior to going to school. Over the weekend my mom bought

six milk cartons. One to go with each of my meals. She showed me how to open the first one and then said, “I want you to open all of the rest on your own.” When I got back to class on Monday I rushed and finished my meal just so I could get to my milk carton. As I reached for the milk, I looked to the girl next to me, and opened my milk carton like a boss. My mother didn’t just teach me how to open the carton.

She taught me how to master it by teaching me self-sufficiency.

As I look back on these moments of childhood, and I’m sure we all can pinpoint specific experiences that shaped us. I think about how all of these stories brought us to this very moment.

Alzheimer’s study seeks African-American volunteers More than 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, and scientists expect this number to triple by 2050.

Experts say African-Americans are two to three times more likely than white Americans to develop the disease. A momentous scientific study focused on early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, and tracking it over time, seeks healthy volunteers without memory problems, as well as people who have mild memory problems and those who have been diagnosed with mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.

The Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative – or ADNI – funded by the National Institutes of Health, is one of the largest and longest running Alzheimer’s disease trials in history. Now in the third phase of trials, researchers are studying how quickly things like reasoning and the ability to perform certain functions change in the aging brain. Researchers need to better understand the disease progression in order to speed the pace of discovery in the race to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer’s disease.

“It is extremely important that more African Americans get involved in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, which affects nearly all of us in some

Participants are needed to study brain levels of two proteins called tau and amyloid, both of which are significant indicators of Alzheimer’s disease.

way,” said Dr. Michael Weiner, principal investigator of the

study. “We need to know why and how Alzheimer’s disease

progresses in African-Americans in order to discover new

treatments that could significantly improve the way we treat

it in the future.”

The study uses state-of-theart imaging to monitor brain levels of two proteins called tau and amyloid, both of which are significant indicators of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers track cognitive function through computer tests at home and in a doctor’s office, which includes measuring changes in one’s ability to handle money, a common warning sign of the disease.

“One of the biggest challenges researchers face is finding people to volunteer to take part in studies,” said Weiner.

“We can beat Alzheimer’s, but we can’t do it without volunteers.”

The ADNI study needs 800 people to enroll in sites across the United States and in Canada. Researchers are looking for people between the ages of 55 and 90 who have normal thinking and memory function, as well as those who have mild memory problems and those who have been diagnosed with mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. No medication is involved.

Potential study volunteers can learn more by visiting www.ADNI3.org or by calling (888) 2-ADNI-95 (888-2236495).

Mental Health Month highlights need for crisis services Crisis services are a critical piece of the mental health system.

During Mental Health Month this May, the Minnesota Department of Human Services is highlighting services that get people in crisis the help they need, when they need it.

One in five Minnesotans face mental illness each year, and one in 25 people live with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Fortu-

nately, there are more treatments, services and community support available, and many people with mental illness can and do recover.

When mental health crises do arise, there are a range of services to help, such as mobile crisis teams, phone support lines and suicide prevention programs.

“As with any illness, it is critical that people get the mental health care they need and get it quickly,” said Acting Hu-

man Services Commissioner Chuck Johnson. “Minnesota has worked hard to build a crisis mental health system that meets the needs of people throughout the state and is there when you need it, easy to reach, and sustainable over the long run.”

Mental health crisis services in Minnesota include crisis phone lines, a crisis text line and mobile crisis teams. Phone numbers for the crisis phone lines can be

In the Twin Cities, DHS is currently testing one phone number for crisis services – **CRISIS (274747). Calling **CRISIS from a mobile phone in the Twin Cities will connect the caller directly to local crisis services. DHS anticipates rolling this service out statewide in the near future.

A new suicide prevention service that helps people contemplating suicide and facing

mental health issues is the crisis text line. Crisis text line connects people who text MN to 741741 with a trained counselor who can help defuse the crisis and connect the texter to local resources.

With the mobile crisis team, mental health practitioners can provide psychiatric services to individuals within their own homes and at other places outside of a clinical setting. Mobile crisis services provide for

a rapid response, and they work to assess the individual, resolve crises and link people to needed services. In recent years, Minnesota has invested in bringing these services to all parts of the state on an around-the-clock basis. Last year, crisis teams received more than 54,000 calls.

Twins support Parks’ baseball programs The Minnesota Twins Community Fund is continuing its two decades of support of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) through the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program.

This year the Twins Community Fund donated $100,000 to the RBI program. The contribution will be used to hold separate instructional clinics for both players and coaches and provide thousands of gloves, uniforms

and protective equipment for inner city youth – all provided free of charge. In 2017, almost 2,500 Minneapolis youth ages 5-18 played baseball and softball through the MPRB RBI program. Because of the donations, RBI participants benefited in the form of new uniforms, gloves and protective equipment, free coach and player clinics conducted by Twins Community Fund RBI clinicians, opportunities for youth to try out for RBI

All-Star teams that compete in regional tournaments and the RBI World Series and free tickets to Twins games.

Members of the MPRB say these opportunities have helped grow interest in baseball and softball especially in North Minneapolis, where the number of combined teams participating in t-ball, baseball or softball greatly increased over the last five years.

Walker Art films depict protest, transformation Fifty years after the tumultuous and transformative events of 1968, Moving Image at the Walker Art Center presents a provocative series of protest films – for those who were there, for those who never stopped fighting and for those who are coming of age (or suddenly finding themselves) in a new groundswell of people engaging in direct action.

The Legacy of ‘68 series continues at the Walker, 725 Vineland Pl., Minneapolis, with narrative features from 1968 in July and August.

Legacy of ’68 is presented in concert with the series Rumblings and Echoes: Remembering 1968 at Trylon Cinema in June.

“Black Panthers” and “The New-Ark” Wednesday, May 16, 7 p.m.

Agnès Varda’s Black Panthers, 1968.

Amiri Baraka “The New-Ark” (1968) In 1968, poet, play-

wright, and activist Amiri Baraka and cinematographer James Hinton were commis-

sioned by the Public Broadcasting Laboratory to document Black Power activism in Newark, N. J. Beginning as an ode to the city, the film highlights the critical organizing done shortly after a tumultuous period of protest, violence and upheaval. The focus of this creative documentary is Spirit House, a center for radical Black pedagogy, community re-building and flourishing Black Arts, where people engaged with Black education, public street theater, music, dance and political consciousness–raising.

Lost for years and recently rediscovered, “The NewArk” was restored and preserved by the Harvard Film Archive. 1968, 60 minutes.

Preceded by Agnès Varda “Black Panthers” (1968)

After relocating to California, French New Wave filmmaker Agnès Varda traveled to Oakland to interview activists involved with the Black Panther Party and revolution.

Skillfully interwoven with this footage is her observational recording of an Oakland demonstration against the imprisonment of activist and Black Panther Party cofounder, Huey P. Newton. 1968, 28 minutes.

“In The Intense Now” Friday, May 18, 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 19, 2 p.m.

Walker Cinema, $10 ($8 Walker Members) Brazilian documentarian João Moreira Salles’s most recent film captures the idealism and excitement of 1968, a time when everything felt possible. The cine-essay begins

with amateur footage shot by the director’s mother on a trip to China during the Cultural Revolution. Then Salles collages together dramatic scenes of international uprising, including France’s student protests and general strikes in May, the March of the One Hundred Thousand in Rio de Janeiro in June, and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in August that marked the end of the Prague Spring. Narrated in the first person, Salles’s voice adds personal rumination and analysis as he looks back to these fleeting moments of intensity, when people living in uncertain times believed in the possibility of changing the world. In Portuguese, French, and Czech with English subtitles. 2017, 127 minutes.
