Billions served, while workers remain underserved

By: Raina J. Johnson Special to The Milwaukee Times

In more than 100 cities across the nation, December 5, 2013 was a worker day of action. Fast food workers stood together to show solidarity in their efforts to raise the minimum wage and get their fair share from the billion dollar corporations that employ them. Demonstrations began as early as 6:00 a.m. in Milwaukee, with more than 100 people. According to a news release by University of California at Berkeley, their report, “Fast Food, Poverty Wages: The Public Cost of Low-Wage Jobs in the Fast-Food Industry,” revealed that the fast-food industry costs American tax payers nearly $7 billion annually because its jobs pay so little that 52 percent of fastfood workers are forced to enroll their families in public

assistance programs. In Wisconsin, low pay ends up costing our state $166 million every year. Workers are fighting back and raising their voices in order for action to be taken by the state legislature or federal government to raise the minimum wage. On the day of action, events took place in Milwaukee, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Green Bay, Madison and Racine. According to Wisconsin Jobs Now, in the Milwaukee area there are 18,250 frontline fast-food workers. Chants of “We can’t survive on $7.25” began at 6:00 a.m. and a few workers walked off the job to a crowd of supporters chanting, “C’mon out, we’ve got your back!” All are working towards $15 an hour and the right to form a union without interference from employers or unfair la-

Striking workers protesting here in Milwaukee about the low wages of fast food workers are part of a nationwide movement. bor practices. Following the 6:00 a.m. strike hundreds more workers and supporters gathered at the Wisconsin Jobs Now office, 1862 W. Fond du Lac Ave for a briefing, then pro-

ceeded to a march and rally at other fast food locations throughout the city. Workers say they will not give up in the fight for fair wages and a better future and they have a lot of peo-

ple supporting them in that fight, such as Rosalynn Wolfe from the League of Young Voters and many other coalition partners.

The future of bus service and mass transit in Milwaukee County: A community conversation On Wednesday, December 4, 2013, Veolia Transportation, one of the participants in the now stalled bid to operate the Milwaukee County Transit System, held one of two community forums on the future of Milwaukee’s mass transit system at Coffee Makes You Black, located at 2803 N.

Nelson Mandela passes: World mourns South Africa's first black president

South Africans are mourning the death of the man who led the fight to end the system of apartheid and then went on to lead the country itself. "We will always love Madiba for teaching us that it is possible to overcome hatred and anger in order to build a new nation and a new society," President Jacob Zuma told reporters Friday, December 6, 2013, using the affectionate clan name shared by his countrymen for Nelson Mandela, who died December 5, 2013 at age 95. He will be buried following a state funeral on Sunday, December 15, in his ancestral hometown of Qunu in the Eastern Cape province, Zuma said. The official memorial service was held Tuesday, December 10, 2013 in First National Bank Stadium in Johannesburg. From December 11-13, his body will lie in state at the seat of government in Pretoria, where he served as president, Zuma said. Zuma had announced the death late Thursday in a nationally televised address. "Our nation has lost its greatest son, our people have lost a father," he said. "Although we knew that this day would come, nothing can diminish our sense of a profound and enduring loss." On the grass near Mandela's home in the Johannesburg suburb of Houghton,

children spelled out with rocks "We love you Mandela." Others wept as they lit candles; still others danced and sang in celebration of a life well lived. His death was felt around the world. Nearly 8,000 miles north of Johannesburg, in Paris, leaders from 53 African countries attending a summit on peace and security observed a minute of silence for Mandela on Friday. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela In recent years, the 1918 – 2013 nation's first black president had battled health issues that included ment of silence. multiple hospitalizations for At New York City's Apollo treatment of a recurring lung Theater in Harlem, which infection.

oppression. And, four years after he left prison, he became the nation's first black president, cementing his place in the consciousness of the nation and the world. 'We all knew he'd leave us at some point' His recent bouts of illness had prepared many South Africans for Thursday's announcement. "We all knew he'd leave us at some point," said Tony Karuiru, a Johannesburg resident. "But we were hoping that he would be with us during the festive season. It's the holidays, I just wish God would have given him a few more days with us as well." Thomas Rabodiba said that, though he had expected Mandela's death, he was having a hard time accepting it. His legacy Mandela will be remembered for many things, but his message of forgiveness and reconciliation may resonate the most. "Mandela's biggest legacy ... was his remarkable lack of bitterness and the way he did not only talk about reconciliation, but he made reconciliation happen in South Africa," said F.W. de Klerk, South Africa's last white president and Mandela's predecessor. His casket will lie in state for several days in Pretoria.

Next week, it will be flown to his ancestral hometown of Qunu for a state funeral and burial, sources said. Leaders react Until that funeral, Zuma has ordered flags around South Africa to be flown at half-staff. "He is now resting. He is now at peace," Zuma said late Thursday. The U.S. government and Buckingham Palace also lowered their flags to half-staff. "Nelson Mandela achieved more than could be expected of any man," President Barack Obama said Tuesday at the public memorial service in Johannesburg. "We have lost one of the most influential, courageous, and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this Earth. He no longer belongs to us -- he belongs to the ages." In recent years, plans for a fitting farewell were hammered out among the government, the military and his family. Events over the next 10 days will culminate in a state funeral to be broadcast worldwide and a private farewell for those closest to him.

The rehabilitation of our block and the “Green Bay Packer House”

A little reminder about life insurance.

By: State Representative Evan Goyke

A curious little reminder.

On our block it was the “Green Bay Packer House.” I write ‘was’ because the City of Milwaukee has thankfully begun rehabilitating this historic home, which for too long sat abandoned, boarded up, and painted bright green and gold. I love the Green Bay Packers, but those are not great colors for a home outside of Lombardi Avenue. The “Packer House” has consistently been our block’s biggest problem. Frequent trespassing and vandalism plagued the property. When there is a “Packer House” on your block, you bear the burdens of lowered property values, increased criminal activity, and overall deterioration of quality of life. This year, the City of Milwaukee will boldly invest millions of dollars to alleviate this burden. The State Department of Financial Institutions has committed two million dollars, but the State Legislature has yet to sincerely join the fight. This winter, I am introducing multiple bills to help our neighbors

State Representative Evan Goyke preserve, protect, and promote the sale of abandoned properties. The five bills seek to protect abandoned properties from theft and vandalism; hold parties accountable if demolition becomes necessary; invest in communitybuilding spaces when a property is demolished; provide incentives for the sale of foreclosed homes; and allow access to winterize and secure homes that are abandoned. As the debate over these ideas begins, my hope is that our focus remains on the fu-

ture and that we avoid the temptation to attach blame for the foreclosure crisis. Shifting blame avoids debating solutions and serves no one. Without excuse, the crisis of abandoned homes must be earnestly addressed and addressed now. If you walk by the “Packer House” today, it still has boarded windows, but it has the protection of a new roof and lost its unattractive paint job. Our block excitedly follows its rehabilitation, we chat about the progress, and we reminisce on what it used to be. One coat of paint changed the feeling on our block. We should do what we can to repeat this success. It can mean so much. The five bills, introduced together, offer the legislature an opportunity to empower the private market, local units of government, and existing

neighbors in the fight to save our neighborhoods, blockby-block, house-by-house. It is my hope that these efforts will provide the mechanisms needed to move forward so our neighborhoods can once again be a place of prosperity and where families can live, love, and build their dreams together. Vince Lombardi once stated, “The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.” While Coach Lombardi may have disagreed with painting over the green and gold, he would applaud our block’s determination to rise again.

Nelson Mandela of international sanctions. Under his remarkable leadership, he was able to usher in a new age for South Africa and the world. During his one term as president he promulgated a new national constitution, created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses, land reform, combat poverty, unemployment and expand healthcare services. As a result of his leadership he was able to lift the international sanctions and restore the country's status as part of the United Nations. Even through much of his life Mandela was considered a controversial figure, he gained international acclaim for his activism and philanthropy. In all he received

Discovering my true self in Africa

By Tony Farrell

“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.” Those were the words of Nelson Mandela, (19182013), who became the first black South African to become president of South Africa. His journey to the presidency and his life long struggle for equality for all South Africans is truly noteworthy and is a standard to live by. His work included dismantling the legacy of apartheid, tackling institutionalized racism, poverty and fostering a national racial reconciliation. Mandela, who attended the Fort Hare University and the University of Witswatersrand, studied law. He rose to prominence in the African National Congress (ANC) and participated in various campaigns to stand against the oppressive apartheid government. In 1962, he was arrested and convicted of conspiracy to overthrow the state government and was sentenced to life imprisonment. After serving 27 years in various prisons, including Robben Island, Pollsmoor and Victor Verster, he was released in 1990. His release came in part due to the growing international campaign that lobbied for his release as well as the effects

over 250 honors as well as the Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Soviet Order of Lenin and the Bharat Ratna from India. His impact continues to shape and reshape the focus of how people of various backgrounds can live together in peace and with respect. This also means to find ways to move forward and a willingness to work together for the common good of all people. His legacy has affected us all in more than one way or another; perhaps this week and during this holiday season; all of us will take time out to reflect upon a life lived in harmony with real human values.

Prince of Peace Baptist Church hosting Christmas Dinner and Worship Service Prince of Peace Baptist Church, 3701 N. 35th Street, is hosting a Christmas Dinner and Worship Service on Sunday, December 14, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. During the worship celebration, members and guest will hear a message from Rev. Richard Watkins, Sr., of The Way of Cross Missionary Baptist Church. The public is invited to come worship and celebrate the birth of Jesus. The Rev. Dr. Steven R. McVicker is pastor.

Building churches through pastoral schools of agriculture Among the many places I visited in Burkina Faso, the most impressive one was a Christian Pastoral Training School built by Pastor Jacques Nignan, located about 'a twenty minutes’ drive south of the capitol city Ouagadougou near Sabtoana. Pastor Jack, as he was called, spoke very good English. He told me that God had given him a vision that he was supposed to build an agricultural school for the pastors, and he was working to fulfill that vision. He also told me that God would be sending others to help, and he believed I was one of those people. His farm was very impressive to me. It included managed livestock and breeding in pens, using horses to power farm equipment, storing food to feed livestock during the dry season, beekeeping with honey production and capturing animal waste for multiple uses. The animal waste was processed through an anaerobic digester which yielded methane gas for cooking and light. The byproduct of that was used to grow maggots to feed chickens, and the byproduct of that was dried out and used as fertilizer on the fields. Expansion was well under way; under construction was a roofed cow pen as well as large student and faculty housing buildings. It was by far the most sophisticated farming operation I visited in Burkina Faso, and it was just getting started. When I arrived, the first class to ever go through the school was soon to graduate. Pastor Jack told me that the pastors in Burkina Faso do not make any money at all just by being a pastor, but rather they become a pastor because God has called them to serve Him. Therefore, it is critical they are able to farm successfully in order to support themselves and help their community prosper. Thus Pastor Jack started his school which teaches modern farming techniques in conjunction with both pastoral and business training. The combination of the three skills, he told me, was

critical to the success of any new church being formed in Burkina Faso. I felt privileged to spend two full days teaching twenty new pastors all about composting with worms, including building their first vermicomposting system together with them. They invited me to come back the following day for their graduation, and it was a delightful celebration. Shortly after I returned to the US, I learned that Pastor Jack had passed away from diabetes. Now I feel strongly compelled to help secure Pastor Jack’s legacy by helping to continue building the school he envisioned and began. This project is now the focus of my current and future work in Burkina Faso. To be continued next week with “Prosperity for all people begins with fertile soil” Tony Farrell started his current business venture, Farrell Marketing Technology LLC, in April of 2011. Over his lengthy career as an information technology entrepreneur, he has worked on tens of thousands of computers and helped dozens of business to have smooth running, efficient computer infrastructure and great looking web sites that generate more business through search engine optimization. In February 2012, Tony began intensive organic farming on a small scale in his living room, including vermicomposting and aquaponics systems, and he completed Growing Power’s Commercial Urban Agriculture program in May 2012. Tony is a graduate of the Milwaukee-based Victory Garden Initiative’s Food Leader and Permaculture Design Certificate Programs and is building a local microgreen production business called Farmer Tony’s Mission Greens. Tony recently returned from a three week agricultural mission trip to Burkina Faso, marking his first foray into international work. This series tells the story of that journey. Tony welcomes comments and feedback, and he may be contacted through his personal email address tony@farrellfamily.org.

Over 90 percent of the children served by Penfield Children’s Center live at or below the federal poverty level and these gifts may be the only gifts they receive this holiday season. Kohl’s presented Penfield with a check donation for $25,000 which will be used to support programming at Penfield.

The Measure of a Man

Not, “How did he die?” But, How did he live?” Not, What did he gain? But, “What did he give?” These are the units To measure the worth Of a man, as a man, Regardless of birth. Not, “What was his station? But, “Had he a heart?” And, “How did he play His God-given part?” “Was he ever ready With a word of good cheer? To bring back a smile To banish a tear?” Not, “What was his church?” Not, “What was his creed?” But, “Had he befriended Those really in need?” Not, “What did the sketch In the newspaper say?” But, “How many were sorry When he passed away?” - From the Family

God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, ‘Peace be Thine’. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

Bulletin Board Rufus King drummers lining up for victory…again

The Rufus King High School varsity team won the annual MPS Battle of the Drum Lines last weekend, taking the title for the ninth time in eleven years. Riverside High School placed second and Rufus King’s JV drum line took third. Also competing were Audubon High School, Bay View High School and Reagan High School. The Rufus King majorettes and drum lines from Bay View Middle School, Lincoln Center of the Arts and Wedgewood Park IB Middle School also performed. Music has been a key part of MPS’ efforts to bring more art, music and physical education specialists into schools. More than 90 art/music/ PE specialist positions have been added over the past two years.

Congratulations Rufus King High School!

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Get healthy with probiotics (part 1) Probiotics…for life Probiotics are beneficial microbes that live in our intestines. Coming from the Greek, meaning "for life," the term probiotic was likely coined as a witty response to the word antibiotic. The therapeutic use of probiotics began when the benefits of "probiotic therapy" after a course of antibiotic therapy was recognized. Many people mistakenly believe this is the only use of probiotic supplements. Probiotics have many functions in our bodies. It is now recognized that for optimal health, it is a good idea to take probiotics as a regular addition to our daily supplement program, right along with the other matrix supplements recommended by your doctor. Since probiotics are essential to the effective use of the nutrients we eat, it follows that they are also essential to our overall health and digestive wellness. Living primarily in the small intestine

(referred to as "the gut"), probiotics 1) assist in the digestive process; 2) help to alleviate gastric disorders; 3) eliminate bad breath; 4) prevent yeast infections; 5) lower blood cholesterol; 6) produce some B vitamins and vitamin K; and 7) stimulate the immune system. Amazing microbes Surprisingly, the mass of microorganisms in our intestines can weigh up to 4 pounds the size of the human liver! In a way, this mass functions like an organ. It is made up of 400-500 different species of microorganisms, each of which has many types of strains. Although this number may seem very large, only 20 types of microorganisms make up about 75 percent of the total. Another surprise, throughout the digestive system, their numbers can be as high

wanted bacteria and fungi from proliferating out of control. This is important because the proper bacterial balance of the intestines determines whether there is a suitable environment for the wall of the colon or one that constantly initiates it. In turn, this determines how well we absorb our food or whether we develop "leaky gut". Looking more closely, we find that intesas 100 trillion. In fact, probi- tinal bacteria are not static. otics outnumber the cells of They are highly active and the human body by as much constantly in a state of flux. as 100 to one!!!

When the bad guys outnumber the good guys, ill health and accelerated aging are the result. The overgrowth of potentially dangerous microbes, is a condition called dysbiosis. A prime example of dysbiosis is a Candida albicans infection. In this situation, there have not been enough beneficial bacteria to hold the C. albicans in check. Results can range from a simple vaginal yeast infection to a variety of complaints. Beginning with gastro-intestinal and genitourinary tract problems, these can extend to include allergic reactions, mental-emotional symptoms, and glandular and organ involvement.

Through the tinsel and the tears By Lori Stahl, Grief Specialist Interfaith Older Adult Programs, Inc - Family Care Case Manager Whether you are newly bereaved, or remembering the death of a loved one during this time of the year, the following tips may be helpful to you. Whether we are ready or not, the holidays have arrived. For the past few months, the stores have already begun to flood us with music, cards, lights, tinsel and trees. But when our hearts are heavy and filled with the deepest

of sorrow, it does not matter to know how many more days there are to the holidays. For the parents whose dreams are shattered as their child will not be unwrapping their presents, for the widow whose bed is empty, for the widower who is trying to learn how to cook and for the family who is learning how to live with the empty chair at the table, I offer you some gifts this season. Patience: Patience for yourself and for others. Slow down and take a deep breath. Remind yourself that you can get through this holiday season despite the intense emotions you are experiencing. Remember no one is perfect and you are feeling vulnerable. Know that all of your cooking, baking and decorating do not need to be accomplished. This is the time of year when your energy level is often very low and not as it once was. Do what you feel you have the energy for and allow that to be enough. It is okay to give yourself permission to change your traditions and to say no. Time: This gift understands that grief is like an emotional rollercoaster with highs and lows each and every day. As you begin to live through the memories of your loved ones, slowly the intensity and depth of your feelings change. The painful memories begin to fade and are slowly replaced with memories of one’s smile, of your days together versus apart, of the life you shared and the fact that your loved

one LIVED....not just that he died. It’s not the fact of how long grief takes, but what you do with your time that makes the difference. Talk, cry, scream, play, pray and laugh are ways of healing the hurts through time. Touch: Touch someone with your presence this season. You may want to have your family volunteer at a food pantry, deliver meals or visit in a nursing home. Include your loved one in all of your gatherings by lighting a special candle and sharing stories. You can toast your loved one and feel his presence around the table. Set the table with paper placements and have everyone write a special message or share a funny story. Tears: Tears are healthy and a sign of strength. Tears show a sign of courage that you are not afraid of releasing. We cry because we loved. Tears are a necessary part of the grieving process. It’s nature's way of healing the mind and heart from the greatest injury of all. Allow yourself the luxury of limping till your pain has healed and you can slowly begin to walk again. Gentleness: Forgive yourself for surviving after the death of your loved one. Know if you could have changed the events surrounding the death of your loved one, you would have. When a loved one's death is out of your control, it is easy (Continued on pg. 14)

New study finds typical U.S. households of color have no retirement savings U.S. retirement crisis most severe for Black, Latino households

A new report calculates the severity of the U.S. retirement security racial divide. The analysis finds that every racial group faces significant risks, but people of color face particularly severe challenges in preparing for retirement. Americans of color are significantly less likely than whites to have an employer-sponsored retirement plan or an individual retirement account (IRA), which substantially drives down the level of retirement savings. "Race and Retirement Insecurity in the United States" examines racial disparities in retirement readiness among workers and households age 25-64. It analyzes workplace retirement access, retirement account ownership, and retirement account balances. “I’m alarmed by the severity of the retirement racial divide,” said Nari Rhee, PhD, report author and NIRS manager of research. “It’s well documented that regardless of race, the typical working-age American household is far off-track toward accumulating sufficient savings to meet their basic needs in retirement. As we dig deeper into the data, we find an even worse situation for blacks, Latinos and Asians. For example, only four out of ten Latinos and about five out of ten Asians and blacks work for employers that sponsor retirement plans, compared to six out of ten white employees. With low access to retirement plans and low wages, what we’re ultimately seeing is little if any retirement savings among people of color. “To further illustrate the extent of the racial divide, a typical white household near retirement has nearly $30,000 saved in retirement accounts, clearly an insufficient amount. A typical black or Latino household near retirement fares even worse, with zero dedicated retirement savings in a 401(k) or IRA. For working-age households, the average retirement savings is only about $20,000 among blacks and $18,000 for Latinos – a small fraction of the $112,000 average among white households,” Rhee said. She added, “With little else to depend on besides Social Security when they retire, people of color are especially vulnerable to reliance on public assistance and economic hardship in old age. Our research makes it clear that placing a special focus on improving the retirement readiness for Americans of color is absolutely essential to solve the national retirement crisis.” The key findings are as follows: 1. Workers of color, in particular Latinos, are sig-

nificantly less likely than White workers to be covered by an employersponsored retirement plan—whether a 401(k) or defined benefit (DB) pension. • Only 54 percent of black and Asian employees and 38 percent of Latino employees age 25-64 work for an employer that sponsors a retirement plan, compared to 62 percent of White employees. • These racial disparities are much more pronounced in the private sector than in the public sector. Blacks, Asians, and Latinos are respectively 15, 13, and 42 percent less likely than whites to have access to a job based retirement plan in the private sector, compared to 10, 9, and 12 percent less likely in the public sector. • Households of color lag behind White households in coverage by pensions that guarantee lifetime retirement income. While 24 percent of white households have a pension through a current job, only 16 percent of households of color do. This disparity is primarily due to

the fact that just 12 percent of Latino households are covered by a pension plan— half the rate of white and black households. 2. Households of color are far less likely to have dedicated retirement savings than White households of the same age. At the same time, retirement coverage appears to be positively associated with the existence of dedicated household retirement savings in both groups.. • A large majority of black and Latino working age households—62 percent and 69 percent, respectively—do not own assets in a retire-

ment account, compared 37 percent of White households. • The racial gap in retirement account ownership persists across age groups. • Households with pensions through a current job are more likely to have dedicated retirement savings in a 401(k) or IRA type account than households without pensions: 74 percent versus 66 percent, respectively, among White households, and 52 percent versus 40 percent among households of color. 3. Households of color have substantially lower retirement savings than white households, even after controlling for age and income. • Three out of four black households and four out of five Latino households age 25-64 have less than $10,000 in retirement savings, compared to one out of two white households. • Among near-retirees, the per-household average retirement savings balance among households of color ($30,000) is one-fourth that of white households

($120,000). • Across age groups, households of color with at least one earner are half as likely as white households to have retirement savings equal to or greater than their annual income. For instance, only 19 percent of households of color near retirement have this much retirement savings, compared to 41 percent of white households of the same age. "Race and Retirement Insecurity in the United States" serves as a companion to NIRS’ July 2013 study, "The Retirement Savings Crisis: Is It Worse Than We Think?," which documented a significant retirement savings gap among working-age households in the U.S. This research is based on an analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve and analyzes data for whites, people of color and—where data permits—blacks, Latinos, and Asians.
