Just do it, because you never know the amazing opportunities you could acquire like having your writing published. Life has its peaks and valleys, but remember your college acceptance letter is waiting for you; your scholarship is waiting for you; and your empire is waiting for you. For your own sake, please don’t keep them waiting any longer than necessary. La’Morianna RobertsonHolland is an eighth-grade honor student at Frederick J. Gaenslen School.

How to stop discarded face masks from polluting the planet By: Laura Parker Personal protective equipment is made of plastic and isn’t recyclable. Now it’s being found everywhere on earth, including the oceans. The solution isn’t complicated: Throw them away. Earth Day has revealed a new problem this year, according to National Geographic Magazine: discarded face masks are multiplying at an alarming rate, clogging landfills, choking wildlife and because of some of the materials used to construct them, face masks are likely to require many years before they decompose. A year ago, the idea that disposable face masks, gloves, and wipes could become global environmental pollutants was not a pressing concern. Personal protective equipment, PPE for short, was seen as essential for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Those who

Disguised plastic Face masks, gloves, and wipes are made from multiple plastic fibers, primarily polypropylene, which will remain in the environment for decades, possibly centuries, fragmenting into smaller and smaller micro plastics and Nano plastics. A single face mask can release as many as 173,000 microfibers per day into the seas, according to a

warned about an environmental catastrophe were ignored. Then production exploded—and now the litter is inescapable. In the time since, scientists have collected data from more than 40 studies that document the use and disposal of PPE and model what that looks like on a global scale. Globally, 65 billion gloves are used every month. The tally for face masks is nearly twice that— 129 billion a month. That translates into 3 million face masks used per minute. All PPE waste may be

study in Environmental Advances. A number of scientists have expressed alarm about the increased presence of plastic microfibers in waterways. Microfibers are easily absorbed by humans and other animals. Its effect on health is unknown. Face masks, gloves, and wipes are not recyclable in most municipal systems and should not be added to any household recycling bin. Masks can contain a mix of paper and polymers, including polypropylene and polyester, that can’t be separated into pure streams of single materials for recycling. They are also so small they get caught in recycling machinery, causing breakdowns. (PPE used in medical facilities is disposed of as hazardous medical waste.) A larger global problem gets worse The problems created by PPE litter have arrived at a complicated time in the effort to curb plastic waste. Plastic recycling has seen a significant decrease since lockdowns began, according to Reuters News Service. In the US, orders are down, costs have increased and prices have fallen. The decrease in plastic recycling has occurred at the same time that the amount of plastic waste accumulating in the oceans is forecast to triple in the next 20 years, with no real solution on the horizon. If every corporate pledge to use more recycled plastics were kept, the shift would reduce that projected tripling by just 7 percent. The pandemic has also seen increased production of disposable packaging, as consumers have bought more takeout food, and as bans of single-use plastics, in-

cluding shopping bags, were suspended because of fears that reusables would spread the virus. At the same time, in part due to cuts in cashstrapped municipal budgets, a third of the recycling companies in the United States have been partially or completely shuttered. What you can do • Don’t be a litterbug— even with PPE. • Wear washable cloth masks when possible. • Pack used PPE into a plastic bag, seal it, and put it out for the trash. What can be done? Within days after the pandemic was declared last March, Justine Ammendolia, a marine researcher based in Toronto and a National Geographic Society grantee, noticed face masks and gloves in increasing numbers as she took her daily walks. She also noticed a lack of structured monitoring of PPE by any governmental or other organization as it spread throughout the city. To identify hotspots, Ammendolia herself documented face masks, gloves, and wipes at six sites, including two grocery store parking lots, a hospital district, two residential areas, and a recreational trail. She logged 1,306 items over five weeks last summer. Not surprisingly, the grocery parking lots had the most, followed by the hospital district. “It’s not the biggest amount of plastic in the world,” she says, “But, the thing is, we’re going to be changed after this event, as is our relationship with decomposability. This raises attention to the amount of waste being produced. That is the starting point of the conversation.”

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

April –Alcohol Awareness Month (Week 3) April is Alcohol Awareness Month. We have been focusing on increasing awareness of the effects of abuse of alcohol. This week, Mental Health America of Wisconsin1 asks these questions to look out for warning signs of alcohol abuse noting if you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, you may have a problem with alcohol: • Do you drink alone when you feel angry or sad? • Does your drinking ever make you late for work? • Does your drinking worry your family? • Do you ever drink after telling yourself you won’t? • Do you ever forget what you did while you were drinking? • Do you get headaches or have a hangover after drinking?1 The American Addiction

Centers indicates that although a person may not be abusing alcohol regularly, they can still experience its short-term effects on the mind and body. Some effects of alcohol can range from mild, such as skin flushing, to more severe symptoms such as passing out or vomiting. Short-term effects of alcohol may include: • Lower inhibitions, leading to poor social judgment. • Trouble concentrating. • Loss of coordination and critical judgment. • Dulled perception, especially vision.

• Mood swings. • Reduced core body temperature. • Raised blood pressure.

Month? • Encourage loved ones and friends you know to practice limiting their consumption by keeping track of quantity consumed. • Encourage parents to discuss alcohol abuse with their children and talk to your own children, too. • Share on social media that April is Alcohol Awareness Month.3 Sources: 1 Mental Health America of Wisconsin “Alcohol and Other Drug Use (AODA” at http:// www.mhawisconsin.org/aoda. aspx. 2 American Addiction Centers Editorial Staff, “Effects of Alcohol on the Body and Mind, Updated February 2019. 3 National Day Calendar.com – Awareness Days.

Coping with dementia – patient and caregiver care By Sandra Millon Underwood, RN, PhD, FAAN Professor, UW-Milwaukee School of Nursing

Milwaukee regional office, further clarified the nature, characteristics, disease, and conditions associated with dementia. “Dementia is an overall term for a particular group of symptoms. Characteristics may include difficulties with memory, language, problemsolving, and the inability to perform daily activities. Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that is the most common cause of dementia among older adults.

Dr. Bashir Easter knows first-hand the impact dementia can have on an individual and the toll it can take on caregivers. His mother was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 55 and for the past 17 years he and his siblings have cared for her. Dr. Easter’s sister has taken on the role of primary caregiver. To give her respite, Dr. Easter would take care of his mother on the weekends so she could have some time to herself outside of the home. His mother is now unable to leave the home because of her double amputation. Sadly, another sibling, who initially served as caregiver could no longer cope with the situation and left the state, leading to a strain on the siblings’ relationship. “My mother showed signs of dementia at the age of 50. At that time, we didn’t understand what was happening. She was not diagnosed until the age of 55. We did not understand the type of dementia my mother had because we were not told. Not understanding the type of dementia caused more issues as we made the decision to provide care for her in our homes. Unfortunately, along with that decision came stress and burdens that we were unprepared to take on,” said Dr. Easter.

“One of the things that is helpful for caregivers to do when they suspect that something may be amiss is to track and write down observations about loved ones. It helps to document and understand the progression of the disease. “Since there are different types of dementia, caregivers need to develop different approaches to care, depending on the disease type,” said Dr. Norris. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the most common types of dementia are: • Alzheimer’s disease. This is the most common cause of dementia and accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. It is caused by specific changes in the brain. The trademark symptom is trouble remembering recent events, such as a conversation that occurred minutes or hours ago, while difficulty remembering more distant memories occurs later in the disease. Other concerns like difficulty with walking or talking or personality changes also come later. Family history is the most important risk factor. Having a first-degree relative with Alzheimer’s disease increases the risk of developing it by 10 to 30 percent. • Vascular dementia. About 10 percent of dementia cases are linked to strokes or other issues with blood flow to the brain. Diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol are also risk factors. The disease progresses in a step-wise fashion, meaning symptoms will suddenly get worse as the individual has more strokes or mini-strokes.

• Lewy body dementia. In addition to more typical symptoms like memory Dr. Nia Norris, Assistant loss, people with this form Director of the Wisconsin of dementia may have Alzheimer’s Institute- movement or balance An NCON Communications Publication

contribute to the increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Women are nearly two times more likely to be affected by Alzheimer’s disease than men. This difference is due to women living longer.

They may also have trouble sleeping at night or may experience visual hallucinations (seeing people, objects or shapes that are not actually there).

There are many resources available in the local community to educate and support individuals and families experiencing dementia. Dr. Norris recommends that individuals interested in learning more about dementia or available resources visit the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institution website (wai.wisc.edu) or call (414) 219-5127. “There are some great resources for families looking to learn about the disease or caregivers seeking caregiver support. “Alzheimer's disease is an emerging public health concern for the African American community. The Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institution (WAI) Regional Milwaukee Office is advancing dementia and health disparities research by actively engaging underrepresented populations in more scientific studies. Today, more than 1,500 participants are enrolled in the WAI’s Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention (WRAP). The registry, the world’s largest study of its kind, began 20 years ago in 2001. Engagement and retention of research participants in WRAP is vital to unlocking the answers of why communities of color are at a higher risk of developing the disease, thus this remains a high priority for our office. To learn more about how to get involved and for eligibility requirements, interested individuals should call Research Specialist, Celena Ramsey at (414) 2197911,” said Dr. Norris. *** The Healthy Eating and Active Living Milwaukee (HEAL) is a culturally-tailored program that aims to provide education, resources to secure healthy foods, and active living supports for adults at-risk for developing lifestyle-related diseases; and, to empower adults to make changes in their physical and social environment to improve nutrition and physical activity. ‘Like’ their Facebook page that’s full of videos of healthy recipes and low-cost, no-cost exercise.

Know the symptoms of Dementia Because dementia is a general term, its symptoms can vary widely from person to person. People with dementia have problems with: • Memory • Attention • Communication • Reasoning, judgment, and problem-solving • Visual perception beyond typical age-related changes in vision Signs that may point to dementia include: • Getting lost in a familiar neighborhood • Using unusual words to refer to familiar objects • Forgetting the name of a close family member or friend • Forgetting old memories • Not being able to complete tasks independently Factors that increase the risk for dementia include: • Age—The strongest known risk factor for dementia is increasing age, with most cases affecting those of 65 years and older • Family history—Those who have parents or siblings with dementia are more likely to develop dementia themselves. • Race/ethnicity—Older African Americans are twice more likely to have dementia than whites. • Poor heart health—High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking increase the risk of dementia if not treated properly. • Traumatic brain injury—Head injuries can increase the risk of dementia, especially if they are severe or occur repeatedly.

Five signs it’s not just a headache Not the best way to tickle your fancy, but do you know that 12 in 100 Americans suffer migraines? Yes, but there is something even more unfortunate than that. It is the tendency in us to mistake a debilitating migraine for a regular come-and-go headache. What if I told you migraine was the 6th most disabling illness in the world? Wouldn’t you be keener in identifying it from a headache so that you can treat it with the urgency (and amount of care) that it requires? There is a sharp distinction between headache and migraine. Let me tell you five things that indicate that innocuous headache you think you have may actually be a devastating migraine. Do you have auras? Auras are highly suggestive of migraines. 1 in 4 people having migraines experience auras. These auras are distortions in visual perception. There are cases where aura precedes migraines. People with auras tend to see flashing lights or wavy lines. Auras are temporal, and their intensity could reduce within 40-60 minutes. But auras – associated with migraines – could extend visual distortions. You could be feeling numbness in one of your limbs. If you are not necessarily numb, you could have the feeling of needles and pins being pierced into one of your limbs. Auras indicative of migraine are also demonstrated in jerky movements that could appear like the patient limping.

These conditions don’t instantaneously jump on you. No, there is usually a progressive accumulation of these symptoms. Are your moods changing sporadically? Six in 10 migraine patients experience mood swings. These swings can either come after the onset of the migraine headache or before it. The variant that comes after the migraine in medical parlance is termed postdrome. If before, it is termed prodrome. These mood swings can be typified by the patient having increased nervousness, unexplained boisterousness, difficulty focusing, and trouble thinking. How about Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS)? As suggestive of the name, this neurological condition triggers altered perceptions, especially insight. People with AIWS would perceive their body as different in size than it is in real life. This flows into the narrative of AIWS patients generally see-

ing things smaller than they are. AIWS are not unconnected with migraines. Given its shared similarity with auras, medical practitioners are examining the possibility of it being a migraine aura. Like in auras, people with AIWS would see 3D objects as flat. They would colors brighter than they are. When they view things, the colors appear tilted to a side, while stationary objects appear to be moving. Hallucinations are also symptoms of AIWS triggered by migraines. What more, people tend to appear stretched out. If you are experiencing this with head pain, it is likely a migraine. Exaggerated light sensitivity is indicative of a migraine This is one of the most prevalent symptoms of migraine. Termed photophobia, 80 percent of migraine patients experience heightened sensitivity to light. Scientists are currently exploring the origin of this phobia, with the optic nerve highly suspected of being the starting point. Photophobia comes in differing intensities, depending on the migraine. In some extreme cases, darkened sunglasses could be needed. Aside from photophobia, people with migraines also experience exaggerated sensitivity to loud noise. This equivalent is termed phonophobia. Here loud sounds produce significant discomforts in the individual, as his tolerance to sound is well subdued. (Continued on pg. 14)

Do-it-yourself credit repair: Fix bad credit on your own in 6 easy steps Don't fall for scams promising easy, overnight credit repair. If you want to fix your poor credit, you can (and should) do it yourself. Follow these six simple steps to doit-yourself credit repair. If you’ve had an overdue student loan, years of high credit card balances, collections accounts, or even a foreclosure, unfortunately, you probably have below-average or bad credit. With poor credit, you may not be able to get approved for new credit products like credit cards. Although you may still be able to take out an auto loan or a mortgage, you’ll pay a much higher interest rate because of your low credit score. Compared to a borrower with good credit, someone with poor credit can pay $50,000 more in interest on a mortgage. Over an entire lifetime, you could end up paying over $200,000 more in unnecessary interest just because of bad credit. The good news is—as you should know if you’ve

read Money Under 30 for a while—that you can repair your credit score all on your own. It just requires a little bit of know-how and a good bit of patience. Here are six steps towards building better credit. 1. Figure out where you stand Before you begin do-ityourself credit repair, you’ll want to get copies of your full credit reports from all three bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax). You can get your reports truly free, once a year, at www.annualcreditreport.com or by calling 1-877-322-8228. Other websites may claim to offer free reports, but the Federal Trade Commission

(FTC) warns that these offers are often deceptive. You can also try free credit score tracking apps Credit Karma or Credit Sesame to get a sense of where you stand. Credit scores range from 300 to 850. A score of between 700 and 740, depending on the scoring method used, is considered “good credit” and usually enough to qualify you for the best credit cards and lowest mortgage rates. 2. If you find errors, dispute them The next step in credit repair is to dispute incorrect information on your credit report.

Errors aren’t common, but they happen. Of course, sometimes bad credit is just your fault. You shouldn’t try to argue accurate information, but if you do see errors–even small ones— it’s worth cleaning them up. Here’s how: Once you have the copy of your full credit report in hand, check your identity information (Social Security number, spelling of your name and address), and credit history. Review the list of credit cards, outstanding debts, and major purchases. If you see any mistakes or questionable items, make a copy of the report and highlight the error. Next, gather any information that you have to back you up, such as bank account statements, and make copies of these as well. This is important! The credit bureaus won’t do anything without proof. Write a letter to the specific credit reporting agency that shows the falsehood, whether it is Experian, Equi-

fax, or TransUnion. Explain the mistake and include a copy of the highlighted report along with your documentation. Although certain bureaus now let you submit disputes online, it’s not a bad idea to send this letter by certified mail, and keep a copy for yourself. The reporting agency has 30 days from the receipt of your letter to respond. The Federal Trade Commission provides advice on contacting the credit bureaus about discrepancies. Here are the contact numbers and web sites for the three credit bureaus: • Experian: 1-888-397-3742 – www.experian.com • TransUnion: 1-800-9168800 – www.transunion.com • Equifax: 800-685-1111 – www.equifax.com 3. Stop the bleeding Once you deal with any errors on your credit report, it’s time to ensure you’re not still spending more than you can (Continued on pg. 14)

“We Are Each Other’s Harvest: Celebrating African American Farmers, Land, and Legacy” by Natalie Baszile

c.2021, Amistad $29.99 / $36.99 Canada 368 pages One little hole in the ground. That’s all it takes, as big around as your little finger, a pencil eraser, a coffee stirrer. A tiny fissure in the Earth, that’s what you need to grow dinner next week or next winter, flowers for your table, sustenance for your animals or, as in the new book “We Are Each Other’s Harvest” by Natalie Baszile, a tie to your past. Years ago, while taking weekly provisions to an elderly relative, Natalie Baszile learned that the presence of food in a neighborhood (or its lack) could be a racial issue. Shortly afterward, she discovered that her ancestors had been involved in farming, long

before she was born. That’s not unusual: as we learn in the introduction here, nearly all African Americans today can claim that farming is in their genes. It’s never been a smooth thing, though. Over and over in previous decades, Black farmers paid faithfully each month to buy farms from white landowners, only to ultimately, cruelly be denied ownership. Others persevered, and then lost their land through lack of financial literacy, or problems with banks, the USDA or the Farm Service Administration (FSA), the latter which, suggested one farmer, seemed to have been created to make problems. And yet, there were bright spots: like folks a century ago, Black farmers know that sticking together is best for all. They’re speaking up and persevering, in planting and paperwork. Black farmers have learned to think around bigger issues by forming Black-owned coops, teaching new farmers, making sure the next generation wants ownership of the business, and ignoring old myths that say women don’t farm. Black farmers are mentoring. They’re

Credit self-repair (Continued from pg. 12) afford each month. Why is this so important? It’s because there are only three simple things to do to repair bad credit: • Pay all of your bills on time • Pay down debt (especially credit card debt) • Avoid applying for credit • But before you can do these things, you need to make sure you’re not spending more than you earn—you need a budget. To start, review your tax returns for the past two years to get a sense of how much money you actually take home in a year. Subtract your regular monthly expenses (rent or mortgage, car payments, and home, car and health insurance) from your current income. Next, estimate your monthly spending habits for other expenses such as gas, groceries and entertainment. Create a limit, based on your income, of what you can spend in each of the different categories of expenses. For example, if you tend to

spend $400 a month on groceries, try to stick to $300 a month on groceries by making changes like buying generic brands, using coupons, and resisting impulse purchases. 4. Pay all bills on time going forward If you want to fix bad credit, you need to start paying all of your monthly bills on time, period! If you’re behind on any bill, get caught up as soon as you can. On-time payments are the single most important factor to your credit score. Simply put, your credit won’t improve until you can consistently pay every bill on time. One downside of this is that you don’t get credit for basic bills like your monthly phone and utilities. Expe-

seem like a newly-discovered connectedness to the land goes way back. It is, in fact, a slice of the past that’s rich as a fertile field, but also loaded with rocks that crushed many dreams.

And yet, while the stories Baszile lets loose need a wider audience today – they can’t be silent anymore – anger at the past isn’t the reason for this book. No, this

redefining the word “farm.” They’re doing what it takes to keep possession of their land because for them, there just isn’t any better way to live. So you know where your food comes from. Bonus points if you grew it yourself. Even better, when you read “We Are Each Other’s Harvest” after you’re done weeding. Using a little of this (fiction excerpts, poetry, and quotations), along with a little of that (essays, interviews, first-person tales, and history), author Natalie Baszile gives praise to Black farmers and ranchers, showing that what may rian Boost can help with that. The free service links your bank account to Experian to monitor your monthly payments. On average, customers have enjoyed a 13-point FICO score increase using this service. 5. Pay down credit card balances Take charge of your credit cards by paying down their balances. If you have any outstanding balances, make room in your budget to pay down these debts bit by bit, every month until they are gone. Know your credit limits and make every effort to stay well under the maximum when charging items. That’s because credit bureaus analyze your debt load as a ratio. If you charge $500 on a card which has a $1,500 limit, you’ve used 33 percent, which is better for your credit score than charging the same amount on a card which has a $1,000 limit (50 percent), both of which are better than being maxed out

Not just a headache (Continued from pg. 9) Supposedly negligible sounds like a ticking clock, the sound of someone chewing, or even utensils clanking together can produce intense irritation for individuals with phonophobia. When photophobia and phonophobia are jointly present in a migraine attack, you see the individual is inclined to withdrawing into more silent and darker environments. Are you experiencing pain in your face? Facial pain is one primary reason why migraine head(100 percent). Pay these credit cards down, but don’t cancel them. The total amount of available credit affects your score, even if you owe nothing. 6. Don’t apply for new credit Finally, resist the temptation to open a new credit card, even when a store offers a discount on your purchase for doing so. Each time you apply for credit is listed on your credit report as a “hard inquiry” and if you have too many within two years, your credit score will suffer. In general, a consumer with good credit can apply for credit a few times each year before it begins to affect their credit score. If you’re already starting with below-average credit, however, these inquiries may have more of an impact on your score and delay your ultimate goal of watching your credit score climb. When the dust settles, consider a unique way to build your credit like Self. Self offers four different types of loans, each which you pay

is much more of a prayer for the Black stewards of the land, and for those who’ve listened to their hearts and stood, one hand filled with dirt and the other with seeds. Whether you are a farmer, know one, or accept the fruits of one’s labor, this book is the perfect meditation. Lush as a spring morning but sharp as barbed wire, “We Are Each Other’s Harvest” is a book for the well-grounded. aches are misdiagnosed as tension or sinus headaches. People with migraine headaches commonly experience pain in their sinus and their necks and jaws. An advanced migraine attack can trigger hypersensitivity to touch on just any area of your face. Scientists are exploring the possibility of nerve inflammation in the face region. There you go. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, chances are more solid that your supposed headache is a migraine. Be quick to take restorative actions like pain relievers, antidepressants, or just seeing a doctor.

down monthly. At the end of the term, Self sends you back the initial term of the loan, minus interest and a small application fee. Each month you make a payment, they’ll report to good behavior to the credit bureaus and you’re credit score and profile will likely improve. The initial application may drop your credit score, but if you make all payments (to yourself) on-time, it should increase. Summary Start by looking at your credit reports to get a sense of where you stand. If you see any errors, dispute them with the credit bureaus. Then, focus on paying down any credit card debt while making every bill payment on time. In the meantime, do not apply for new credit. Basically, in order to repair your credit, you will need to limit your use of credit. It may take months or even a couple of years for your credit score to improve, but if you plan on buying a new home, or taking on any other big debt, it’s well worth it. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
