On Friday, March 24, 2017 Governor Scott Walker (center) and Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver (yellow jacket) visited Bradley Technology High School to tour the school and speak with students,

teachers, and administrators. The visit was an opportunity for Governor Walker to focus on the K-12 education investments included in his state budget proposal. Highlights include $649 million in new state aids for all Wisconsin

K-12 schools, including a $509.2 million increase in per-pupil categorical aid.

“We are using the Reform Dividend to make a historic investment for all public schools,” Governor Walker said. “If the Legislature passes what

we recommended for K-12 education, it would lift funding to an all-time high. Our budget also makes a number of key investments in things like performance-based funding, summer school, and mental health services that

specifically support Milwaukee Public Schools. I thank Dr. Driver and all the students, faculty, and staff at Bradley Technology High School for allowing us to come by during their busy school day.”

Wisconsin ranks #8 for Black homicide victimization Eighty-seven percent of black homicide victims in Wisconsin were killed with guns

Wisconsin has the eighth highest black homicide victimization rate in the nation with a rate of 24.04 per 100,000, which is almost one-and-a-half times the national black homicide victimization rate and nearly six times the overall homicide rate nationwide, according to a new analysis by the Violence Policy Center (VPC).

The annual study, Black Homicide Victimization in the United States: An Analysis of 2014 Homicide Data, ranks the states according to their black homicide victimization rates. It is based on unpublished data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR). The study details homicide rates for 2014, the most recent year for which comprehensive national data is available.

This is the eleventh year the Violence Policy Center has released the study.

“Each year this report reveals the devastating and disproportionate impact homicide, almost always involving a gun, has on black men, boys, women, and girls in America,” states VPC Executive Director Josh Sugarmann. “These deaths devastate families and traumatize whole communities. We hope our research will not only help educate the public and policymakers, but aid community leaders already working to end this grave injustice.”

In Wisconsin, there were 91 black homicide victims in 2014, resulting in a homicide rate of 24.04 per 100,000.

That year, the national black homicide rate was 16.38 per 100,000, and the overall national homicide rate was 4.19 per 100,000.

For homicides in which the weapon used could be identified, 87 percent of the black homicide victims in Wisconsin were shot and killed with guns. Nationwide, 83 percent of black homicide victims were killed with guns.

The 10 states with the highest black homicide victimization rates in 2014 were: Rank State Black Homicide Victimization Rate Per 100,000: 1 Missouri 34.98 2 Indiana 29.49 3 New Mexico 28.48 4 Nebraska 28.17 5 Pennsylvania 26.07 6 Michigan 25.52 7 Alaska 24.29 8 Wisconsin 24.04 9 Nevada 22.44 10 Louisiana 21.98 For Wisconsin, the study finds that in 2014: • Of the 91 black homicide victims, 76 were male and 15 were female.

• Six black homicide victims (7 percent) were less than 18 years old. The average age was 30 years old.

• When the weapon used could be identified, 87 percent of the black homicide victims (79 out of 91) were killed with guns. Of these,

75 percent (59 victims) were killed with handguns.

• For homicides in which the victim-to-offender relationship could be identified, 48 percent of black homicide victims (27 out of 56) were killed by someone they knew.

Twenty-nine were killed by strangers.

• For homicides in which the circumstances could be identified, 68 percent (30 out of 44) were not related to the commission of any other felony. Of these, 53 percent (16 homicides) involved arguments between the victim and the offender.

For the entire United States, the study finds that in 2014: • There were 6,095 black homicide victims in the United States that year. Blacks represent 13 percent of the U.S. population, yet account for 50 percent of all homicide victims.

• The black homicide victimization rate in the United

Need an ID for voting? Several DMV service centers offer Saturday hours With Wisconsin’s spring election days away, voters needing an ID are reminded that several Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) service centers in larger cities offer Saturday hours. To obtain an ID card, people can begin the process online using the official DMV webpage (wisconsindmv. gov) where they can locate or check wait times at their nearest DMV service center and get a checklist of documents to bring. DMV service centers open Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon include Milwaukee Northwest, Milwaukee Southwest, Madison East, Madison Odana, La Crosse, Eau Claire, Wausau and Appleton.

To obtain an official photo ID card, some documentation is required, such as a birth certificate. If all documentation is not readily available, the ID Petition Process can be used to obtain a receipt valid for voting while the remaining documents or verifications are obtained.

States was 16.38 per 100,000.

In comparison, the overall national homicide victimization rate was 4.19 per 100,000. For whites, the national homicide victimization rate was 2.52 per 100,000.

• Of the 6,095 black homicide victims, 5,263 were male and 829 were female. The homicide victimization rate for black male victims was 29.54 per 100,000. The homicide victimization rate for female black victims was 4.28 per 100,000.

• For homicides in which the weapon used could be identified, 83 percent of black victims (4,800 out of 5,773) were shot and killed with guns. Of these, 73 percent (3,506 victims) were killed with handguns.

• For homicides in which the victim-to-offender relationship could be identified, 72 percent of black victims

(1,966 out of 2,746) were killed by someone they knew.

The number of victims killed by strangers was 780.

• For homicides in which the circumstances could be identified, 71 percent (2,581 out of 3,645) were not related to the commission of any other felony. Of these, 50 percent (1,291 homicides) involved arguments between the victim and the offender.

The FBI data includes incidents reported as justifiable homicides of black victims killed by law enforcement.

Nationwide, there were 115 such incidents reported in 2014. The data does not specifically identify killings by police that are not ruled justifiable. In December 2015, the FBI announced that it would dramatically expand its data collection on violent police encounters by 2017. In October 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice outlined a plan to improve the collection of law enforcement use of force data.

The study calculates black homicide victimization rates by dividing the number of black homicide victims by the black population, and multiplying the result by 100,000. This is the standard and accepted method of comparing fatal levels of gun violence.

Ald. Rainey named Bucks legend Desmond Mason teams up co-chair of Black Male with Express Yourself Milwaukee as a Achievement Advisory Council

During the regular meeting on Monday, March 27, 2017 of Milwaukee’s Black Male Achievement Advisory Council, Alderman Khalif J. Rainey assumed co-chairmanship of the body following his appointment by outgoing co-chair Council President Ashanti Hamilton.

“It is both a tremendous honor and a heavy responsibility to assume the leadership of the BMA Advisory Council, which is tasked with addressing the grievous disparities faced by young men and boys of color in Milwaukee,” Alderman Rainey said.

“If we are to build a society with equal opportunity for everyone, these disparities are the most pressing issues with which we must contend.”

The BMA Advisory Council was created by the Milwaukee Common Council in 2013 as part of a broader nationwide initiative driven by the National League of Cities. The group is charged by the NLC with identifying local challenges and opportunities, exploring policies and strategies that have the potential to make an impact

Alderman Khalif J. Rainey on outcomes for black males, and developing mechanisms to evaluate and sustain progress over time.

Alongside honorary cochair Mayor Tom Barrett, Alderman Rainey was selected to serve as co-chair due, in part, to his extensive experience with issues specific to Milwaukee’s African American community, including a joint city-county venture to launch a local Office of African American Affairs.

Bucks legend Desmond Mason was involved in several events as a featured artist with Express Yourself Milwaukee, a local organization that immerses young people in the arts. On Wednesday, March 22, Mason was mentoring Express Yourself Milwaukee youth at the program’s studio (3331 W. Lisbon Ave.) and discussing his artistic contribution of a symbolic backdrop painting to be featured at the program’s 15th annual performance that was held later that evening.

Since the end of his basketball career, Mason’s talents have extended past the basketball court, as he has continued to follow his passion for the arts as a highly-skilled painter. Mason uses his art to benefit several charities, including ones in the Milwaukee area, while continuously looking to create positive change through his philanthropic work.

“Milwaukee has a special place in my heart,” Mason said. “This city embraced me as a player and allowed me to grow on and off the court.

It supported the blossoming of my art career and gave me the confidence to let the

provides a high staff-to-participant ratio that builds trust and deepens connections with programming created though success-oriented activities. The organization believes deeply that everyone has something creative to contribute, and all of this creativity comes together in a joy-filled public performance at the historic Milwaukee Theatre each May.

CHILD WATCH

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

By: Marian Wright Edelman President of the Children's Defense Fund

A time for penance and action to help our immigrant brothers and sisters During this holy season of Lent in the Christian calendar it’s time to reflect and act to help the most vulnerable in our midst. With harsh assaults on undocumented immigrants and refugees who must fear every knock on their door, many American citizen children are afraid to go to school, afraid of being bullied, and afraid to leave their parents who might be arrested at any moment. In Texas, these real fears are intensified with stories about building new walls on the border and about children like their brothers and sisters, refugees from the violence of poverty and gangs and drug lords, locked in residential detention centers in their state.

A ban on crayons. That’s what it came to at the visitors’ center at the Karnes County Residential Center in Karnes City, TX, one of three immigration detention centers that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) currently uses to house mothers and children who’ve been stopped seeking asylum in the United States. Six volunteer lawyers who work with detained families wrote a letter to ICE explaining why they liked to bring crayons when they met with clients: “Having children color and draw provides a distraction for children while their mothers relate incidents of trauma, violence and abuse.

Other children sit outside the interview rooms and draw at the tables, so they are not forced to listen to their mothers’ harrowing narratives nor witness their mothers’ fragile emotional states during these interviews.” But ICE determined some of the children were doing “damage” to tables and walls in the visitors’ center while coloring. The crayon ban was just another blow to children already essentially being housed as prisoners by the federal government. The latest memos from the Department of Homeland Security outlining plans for enforcing the executive orders on immigration issued by President Donald Trump mean the numbers of children and mothers being detained this way (in America) will only swell.

Family detention centers are just one way current immigration policies hurt children. The Karnes County center is managed by ICE but owned and operated by the GEO Group, a $2 billion for-profit private prison company that seeks to double the number of people it can hold there from

its current capacity of 532 beds. Across the state the Southwest Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, TX can hold 2,400 people. Also managed by ICE, that center is owned and operated

by Corrections Corporation of America, also known as “CoreCivic,” a for-profit company that makes upwards of $260 million a year housing mothers and children at a rate of $300 a day, per detainee. In December a Texas court struck down a regulation that would have allowed these two for-profit detention centers to obtain state child care licenses. Children’s Defense Fund–Texas Associate Director Dr. Laura Guerra-Cardus, a medical doctor, was among those who testified that family jails are not child care facilities and that children held there with their mothers are not physically or mentally safe.

Bree Bernwanger, managing attorney of the Dilley Pro Bono Project, commented, “Yet another court has found that locking up children and their parents is not a form of ‘child care.’ It’s time for ICE to recognize that detaining families is illegal and these facilities should be closed.”

Following that ruling 460 women and children were released from the two Texas detention centers, flooding immigrant support networks in a surprise move officials said was unconnected to the loss in court. Many of those women and children had to be immediately hospitalized due to chronic conditions and other health problems resulting from their detention treatment. The centers have been the source of a number of controversies, including several alleged sexual assault and abuse cases and alleged use of solitary confinement as punishment for hunger strikes at the Dilley center. At the third ICE family center, owned and operated by Berks County, Pennsylvania, a group of 22 mothers imprisoned with their children between 270 to 365 days wrote a letter last year explaining why they were starting a hunger strike: “We are already traumatized from our countries of origin. We risked our own lives and those of our children so we could arrive on safe ground. While here our children have considered committing suicide, made desperate from confinement.

The teenagers say that being here, life makes no sense.

One of our children said he wanted to break the window to jump out and end this

nightmare . . . They grab the chord [sic] that holds their ID cards and tighten it around their necks, saying they want to die if they don’t get out.

And the smallest children, who are only two years old, cry during the night because they cannot express what they feel . . . We left our homes in Central America to escape violence, threats and corruption. We thought this country would help us, but now we are locked up with our children in a place where we feel threatened, including by some of the medical personnel, leaving us with no one to trust.”

The new executive orders on immigration could mean locking up more families and building more detention centers. This may be fantastic news for the private prison stock business and for-profit

prison industry but it is terrible news for the thousands of innocent children at risk of inappropriate cruel and unusual punishment. Now there is another cruel twist: the Department of Homeland Security is considering separating children from their parents at the border.

Parents would be detained while their children would be placed in the care of the government or sent to live with relatives in the United States.

It’s hard to imagine separating children and families even in familiar surroundings — and certainly not in a new country and in the horrendous situations we have seen these families face. I can still remember the overwhelming panic I felt the day I became separated from my mother at New York’s large Abyssinian Baptist Church right before a worship service began when I was about seven. In the bustling crowd going up into the balcony, I let go of my mother’s hand.

Happily I was among friendly people who summoned an usher who took me down to the pulpit where the preacher

embraced me and asked the congregation if anyone knew this child. My mother who had been frantically looking for me in the balcony stood and said yes and an usher reunited us immediately. But I remember the panic and fear.

Nothing is worse than feeling abandoned and separated from a parent in a strange place with strangers. Is this how our nation is going to treat “the least of these” — our little ones? Surely we are better than this!

The Counseling Corner

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Why must we suffer? A theological perspective (Conclusion) In the conclusion of this month’s article series, this column will address why the world is so full of suffering and God’s punishment for wrongdoing.

possibility of men misusing that freedom. That doesn’t make God responsible for evil. Like Adam and Eve, the ability to choose between good and evil is what makes us human. For God to interfere with our ability to do evil would make all of us less human.

Why is the world so full of suffering?

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. God’s punishment for But take heart! I have overcome wrongdoing the world.”

“There will be trouble and dis- John 16:33 tress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for One basic reason is that the Gentile.” there is evil and sin in the - Romans 2:9 world. As we know, suffering entered human experience Wayne Grudem in “Syswith the sin of Adam and tematic Theology” (Zondervan) Eve and in the final analysis notes that Scripture affirmaall suffering, even the suffer- tively states that God justly ing of Jesus the Christ stems punishes us for our wrongfrom the sin and its punish- doing and evil acts. Scripment. Another reason for so ture, however, never blames much suffering is that there God for evil or shows God are evil people who do bad as taking pleasure in evil, and things to other people. Be- Scripture never excuses hucause God has given us free man beings for the wrong will, some freely choose to they do. This conclusion do evil. God made us to have would be clearly contrary to free will so that we could the word of God. In Isaiah be like Him and could love 13:11, it states “I will punfreely. But in making us that ish the world for its evil, the way, God also allowed for wicked for their sins” Also, the possibility of evil, the Exodus 32:34 it is written:

“… However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.” And in the story of David and Bathsheba, God sent a message to David through the prophet Nathan in 2 Samuel 12:11-12, fulfilled in 16:22. In further punishment for David’s sin, “the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick” and eventually died. (2 Samuel 12:15-18).

Here God shows how much He hates sin even in His own people and that wherever God finds it, He will not let it go unpunished. Although David was truly sorry, God did not erase the natural consequences, which were set in

motion because of his sin.

All sin hurts us and others but ultimately it offends God because sin in any form is viewed as an insurrection or rebellion against God’s way of living. In every case where we do evil, we know that we willingly choose to do it and we are rightly to be blamed for it.

Beloved, although we may not truly grasp the purpose of suffering, understand that God “worketh all things after the counsel of His own will” (Ephesians 1:11). Trust in a loving, sovereign God who is always in control though our own knowledge and understanding is limited. There is nothing that lies outside the

realm of God’s sovereignty, including even the evil acts of humankind. Though God does not approve of the evil acts, God permits, governs and uses them for its own purposes and glory. Remember, the crucifixion? It was the most atrocious crime of all time, but it was committed within the boundaries of the “determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God” (Acts 2:23) and despite its evil nature, it was the most important aspect of God’s plan to establish Christ as Lord and Savior. (Acts 2:36.)

COMMUNITY COLUMN Making a book – and a new life

By: Kathy Quirk The first-grader pasted a photo of his school’s water fountain onto a piece of construction paper and carefully copied the word “bubbler” underneath it. That page is just one of many that the child, a refugee from Burma, is creating for his book “My New School.”

The boy is one of a dozen immigrant and refugee children in Milwaukee Public Schools who are benefiting from a project started by Lynn Sedivy, a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Education.

Sedivy is helping children from Burma, Syria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo make their own books about their new lives.

Three MPS schools are currently involved. The “My New School” project is funded through a grant from a children’s literature fund at the School of Education that pays for photos, supplies and lamination of the books.

Working with Sedivy a couple hours a week, the children

Lynn Sedivy is working with refugee children who are new to America, helping them create books about their Milwaukee Public Schools. Her project, which is funded with a small grant from the UWM School of Education, supports the work of English language learning teachers at the schools. (UWM Photo/Troye Fox) take pictures of their school – classrooms, gym, lunchroom, playground, bathrooms, their desk, the counselor’s office, pencil sharpeners, and other places and objects. Once the photos are printed, children paste them onto construction paper and write simple captions. When the pages are finished, they’ll be laminated

colleague Charlie Davison, who also attended UWM, she teaches more than 70 children. The children work with the teaching duo at least once and sometimes twice a day. “They are really making amazing progress,” Kramer said.

Sedivy knows a little Karen, one of the languages of Burma, from her experience tutoring refugees through Lutheran Social Services. So she is able to encourage her students with a few words in their own language as well as English.

Sedivy currently has funding for up to 20 children, and is hoping to eventually expand the project to include more books and more children.

“The books are a really good way to help them write their own stories and share them with parents and friends,” Kramer said. For many of the children, this will be the first English-language book in their homes.

“When they are older, they can look back and see how they’ve progressed.”

Bulletin Board

iFair™ to provide IT, engineering experience for nearly 500 students

Nearly 500 middle and high school students from Milwaukee Public Schools had the unique opportunity to visit more than 30 booths and attend workshops focused on information technology and engineering.

Industry experts were on hand to bring students behind the curtain of computer science, IT repair, internships, and college and career access at the event hosted

by Harley-Davidson and Washington High School of Information Technology's Business Advisory Board on Wednesday, March 29, 2017.

and bound with a three-hole punch and circular clips so the children can take home their very own book.

“Coming to the United States from a refugee camp can be a terrifying and overwhelming experience,” said Sedivy, a former English as a second language (ESL) educator who now trains UWM

education majors in early-childhood education and ESL. Some of the children have never been in school before. Add to this the complexities of eating different foods, learning a new language and adapting to a new culture. Writing “My New School” gives the children a fun way to overcome their fears and learn more about their new environment, she explained.

Sedivy works with teachers and staff who have expertise in educating children who are still learning English. The book project can help the children boost their vocabulary and learn basic literacy skills, such as writing left to right and turning the pages in a book.

“This is a fantastic project because these children are from different countries and backgrounds, but they each have stories to tell,” said Peili Kramer, one of two English language learning teachers at the Academy of Accelerated Learning, one of the schools involved in the project. Kramer earned her master’s degree at UWM. With

From slavery to present: Why blacks distrust healthcare (pt. 2)

By: Richard Allen Williams, M.D. As the leader of the National Medical Association, I have the responsibility to provide a perspective to our constituents on key issues in medicine that are important to us and to the patients whom we serve. One of those issues is TRUST, which has special meaning to people who have been subjected to so many abuses and indignities over the past 400 years.

In the tradition and in memory of the late legendary Howard University School of Medicine professor, civil rights activist, former NAACP president, past president of the National Medical Association, philosopher, and my personal mentor and hero, W. Montague Cobb, MD, Ph.D, I submit the following perspective on this topic, which will be incorporated into my forthcoming book, Blacks in Medicine: Clinical, Demographic, and Socioeconomic Correlations (Springer Science & Media, 2017).

Another aspect of the early medical treatment of blacks which engendered mistrust for the system was the fear that blacks had of becoming unwilling and unwitting subjects of experimentation.

They had good grounds for this fear. During slavery, many famous white doctors

bolstered their careers by giving public exhibitions of experimental medical procedures. These demonstrations were often performed out in an open square, as was the habit of Dr. J. Marion Sims, who is considered the father of American gynecology.

Dr. Sims, a white man who never graduated from medical school, would openly display surgical and gynecological conditions in slave women while he lectured to the audience about his technique of treating these conditions.

This unsavory practice has resounded down through the generations to this very day, due to the fact that black patients have been made to feel disrespected by doctors.

This pattern of disregard for privacy, lack of dignity, scorn, and abuse was carried over to medical schools and was taught to students eager to learn from the masters of medicine about techniques to be refined and applied for the benefit of white patients.

Blacks were used to demonstrate those techniques, and the demonstrations continued even after the black patients died, in the autopsy rooms and morgues. It is no small wonder, therefore, that African American patients declined to go into hospitals when they fell ill, and it should not be surprising that the families of the deceased refused to allow post-mortem examinations—autopsies–to be performed on their deceased relatives.

The Federal government became officially involved in the miscarriage of medical justice in two principal ways.

First, it declared in a Supreme Court ruling in 1857, the Dred Scott decision, that a black man was equal

to only 3/5 of a white man and had no rights that whites were bound or obligated to respect.

In effect, the Dred Scott decision inculcated a culture of black inferiority into our society, an impression that still hangs over us to this day, and it also made it official that black people were not citizens. That opinion has had far-reaching consequences which have had permanent effects on the doctor-patient relationship as well as having had an impact in other areas of life for blacks. Doctors now had official and legal justification for delivering substandard care to black patients.

The second event which is historically important was the Tuskegee Study, initiated in 1932, in which about 400 black men were surreptitiously mistreated for syphilis (they were given placebo although medical treatment with antibiotics was available) and were allowed to die from the ravages of this disease under the aegis of the United States Public Health Service, so that the natural history of syphilis could be observed.

That study reinforced the fears of blacks about being

experimented upon and is the worst example in the history of American medicine of the medical abuse of human rights. The Tuskegee Study continued until 1972, when it was stopped after criticism mounted about its intent and the abuses it had fostered.

A complete account of this study is in the splendid book, Bad Blood by James Jones.

With the presentation of the above facts about the medical history of African Americans it should be obvious that the issue of trust in the medical system on the part of black patients has to be considered to be in difficulty from the very beginning, because not only was there no trust, there was mostly mistrust.

Over the years, many individuals and organizations have tried to dispel that presiding feeling, but they have had a mostly uphill battle, and the struggle continues to this day. One of the points of difficulty lies in the fact that the medical history of African Americans has been largely unwritten and therefore has been left for interpretation by others.

Former President Richard Nixon, when asked about how he would be viewed by

history in the wake of the Watergate scandal, stated, “the interpretation of history depends on who writes it”, and so blacks must write and promulgate their own history to make sure that there is no misinterpretation of the facts.

In order to build trust into black patients, it is first necessary to eliminate the unhealthy but justified impression they have that the medical system in this country has victimized them rather than having benefited them. As one patient has stated, “it’s a bad situation when you have to protect yourself from the very system that should be protecting you”.

Most of what is known about the health history of minorities is based upon the African American experience. However, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asians have also suffered from inadequate and inappropriate healthcare delivery which has resulted in health problems in these populations and has led to mistrust of the medical system.

Many have had the same types of indignities imposed upon them that blacks did.

The essential and overriding difference is that none of the other minorities had the yoke of slavery imposed upon them, a limitation so pervasive that its effects are being experienced to the present time in the “slave health deficit” that Byrd and Clayton speak of. The situation described here for blacks can be taken as a surrogate for all racial and ethnic minorities regarding the issue of trust.

Confusion over new guidelines for blacks taking cholesterol-lowering meds

U.S. medical organizations have conflicting guidelines on the use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs in blacks, a new study finds.

Researchers say that about one in four black Americans who are recommended to take a statin under guidelines from the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association would no longer qualify for such therapy under new guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

The USPSTF is an influential government-appointed group whose decisions often influence health care, including insurance coverage.

The new study was led by Dr. Venkatesh Murthy of the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. His team noted that while many studies have used artery scans to assess the need for statins by white patients, no such studies have focused on black patients. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

However, compared with whites, black Americans are at higher risk of developing heart disease linked to plaque buildup in the arteries (“hardening of the arteries”).

So, would the new USPSTF guidelines on statin use be accurate for black patients?

To find out, Murthy’s team compared statin “eligibility” for more than 2,800 black patients, aged 40 to 75.

The study authors reported that about one-quarter of black people who would be recommended to take a statin under the ACC/AHA guidelines wouldn’t be eligible under the new USPSTF advisory.

This suggests that the government panel’s guidelines may be less accurate at spotting black patients who need the therapy, the researchers said.

Murthy’s group believes that, overall, just 38 percent

of high-risk black Americans would get a statin under the USPSTF guidelines, meaning that “significant numbers” of people would miss out on the cholesterol-lowering treatment.

What to do? According to the researchers, using scans to measure each patient’s artery calcification levels might help spot patients in need. This type of test has the potential to personalize a patient’s individual need for statin treatment, the authors

explained.

Two cardiologists agreed.

“This study brings us back to the critical need to appreciate the uniqueness of different populations — whether based on gender, race, or ethnicity — and to evaluate results of trials or impact of guideline recommendations with regard to these differences,” said Dr. Stacey Rosen. She’s vice president of women’s health at Northwell Health’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health in New

Hyde Park, N.Y. “We have certainly learned in other clinical areas — cardiovascular disease in women, [high blood pressure] in African Americans, or diabetes in Latinos — that ‘onesize-does-not-fit-all,'” Rosen said.

Dr. Satjit Bhusri is a heart specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. He agreed with the researchers that “the use of calcium scoring by CT scan is best for early detection of heart disease; it is specific for each patient, and its benefits for early prevention are immense.” But he believes such testing should be available to all patients, regardless of race.

The study was published online March 18 in the journal JAMA Cardiology and will be presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology, in Washington, D.C.

By Nathaniel Sillin Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Practical financial planning for parents-to-be Planning for a baby is exciting and sometimes a little frightening for expectant parents, especially first-time parents. The months will fly by and soon you'll be at home embarking on an adventure along with the newest member of your family.

Welcome to the excitement, exhaustion, fascination, bewilderment and love that is parenthood.

Along with the joy and fulfillment that a new baby brings, you'll have new financial responsibilities. Some costs are unavoidable, while others may largely depend on your discretion. Sticking to a financial plan could help you provide wonderful opportunities and experiences for your child while keeping your family's costs under control.

Preparing for the cost of birth.

Paying down debt, creating a new budget, building an emergency fund, setting up automated personal finance software and reviewing the beneficiaries on your accounts could all be on your pre-birth checklist. You might not have the time or energy for these tasks once you're a parent.

You'll also want to review your health insurance policy and get a clear understanding of your coverage during prenatal care, labor and delivery. Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and Medicaid plans always cover pregnan-

cy and birth, but copays, coinsurance, deductibles and maximum out-ofpocket amounts can vary. You might not be covered at all if you have a grandfathered plan.

You can change to a new Marketplace plan, and add your child, after the birth as you'll be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period.

Saving money during the first few years. As you adjust to life as a new parent – sleepless nights, bath times and diapers galore – you'll likely be tempted by a wide range of childcare products. Some are necessary, but there are many ways to save on everyday infant purchases.

Ask at the hospital, research online and check with pediatricians for free childcare samples. They may not last long, but having a stockpile of various sample-size products can come in handy.

Also ask about a free breast pump, which you may have a right to with an ACA healthcare plan.

Consumables, such as formula, diapers and wipes, can be bought in bulk at warehouse stores or shipped to you via a subscription from

an online retailer. Either option could provide long-term savings compared to buying as you go.

Discuss childcare options. Some families need the income from two working parents, others can choose to stay at their job or become a full-time parent.

Weighing the pros and cons of leaving work can be difficult as you'll want to consider a variety of ancillary costs and benefits. In the end, the decision may not be entirely financial. You could value extra parent-child time over a second income, even

if it means living with a tighter budget. But even if you're unsure of daycare, you may want to sign-up for local centers' waitlists now because it can take years to get a spot.

Plan for the worst-case scenario. As a parent, you're responsible for the wellbeing of your child.

Now may be the time to prepare or revise a will and consider appointing a guardian. Also, if you don't have life insurance, this is a good time to start shopping for a policy. If something happens to you, life insurance can help

provide financial support for your child in the coming years.

Whole or permanent life insurance policies will cover you for as long as you pay your premium while term life insurance covers you for a specific period, such as 10 or 20 years. Premiums on term policies may be lower than on whole life insurance, and this could be the better option if you're only looking for coverage while you support your child. .Bottom line: A new child will bring great joy to your family, and when wants or needs arise, you will want your finances to be in order.

Whether you're early in the planning process or already expecting, it's never too early to prepare for the cost of raising a child. After all, a new addition to your family is the best gift and the start of an amazing adventure.

Let’s look at the math. Like $100 million for our local economy. Or the thousands and thousands of jobs they create. Or the hundreds of thousands of kids who do better in English and science and, you guessed it, math. But there’s also 50–as in the 50 years UPAF has supported the arts in Greater Milwaukee, and the over $300 million we’ve raised to set the stage since 1967.

Let’s keep it going. Donate today at UPAF.org/donate An NCON Communications Publication

W FAMILY FEATURES

hether planning a family feast or attending gatherings where delicious comfort foods are on the menu, you may find it harder than ever to maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep your weight management goals on track. However, with the right approach, you can still enjoy many of your favorite dishes and serve foods your guests will appreciate as much as your waistline does. The key is managing your carbohydrate and sugar intake.

If you’re looking to lose or maintain weight, you know the importance of relying on a lifestyle with proven results – without feeling deprived. A low carb approach is backed by more than 80 scientific studies and still allows you to enjoy a wide variety of delicious foods. When you control your carbohydrate intake, you start burning stored fat as your fuel source instead of carbohydrates. A longterm, well-balanced, low carb eating plan such as Atkins encourages reduced levels of refined carbohydrates and added sugars, while optimizing levels of protein, high fiber carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats.

This wide range of foods makes it easy to find delicious ways to indulge without feeling restricted at events. Colette Heimowitz, vice president of nutrition and education at Atkins Nutritionals, Inc., offers several tips to help stay on track: n

Leading up to big meals or parties, snack on proteins that contain healthy fats such as nuts or grab some cubes of cheese.

n

When crafting a menu, identify a savory main dish that offers a healthy serving of protein, such as this Low Carb Cranberry-Ginger Pork Roast. Finish off the meal with a Low Carb Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake, and you and your taste buds will be very satisfied.

n

When alcoholic beverages are being served, confine yourself to a glass (or two at most) of wine or one glass of spirits. Just be sure to have your spirits with club soda and a slice of lemon or lime, or a mixer made without sugar. And make sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
