Gov. Evers announces Badger Bounce Back plan to reopen Wisconsin’s economy Gov. Tony Evers announced Monday, April 20, 2020 the Badger Bounce Back plan to share guidance on the criteria that must be met before the state’s economy can safely reopen. “As we’ve learned over the past month, in the most difficult of circumstances, Wisconsinites will rise to the occasion, helping each other and working together to do what’s best for our families, our neighbors, and our communities,” Gov. Evers said. “That’s what the Badger Bounce Back is all about: our resilience as a people and as a state. I am excited and hopeful about this plan.” According to a news release, the Badger Bounce Back plan was established to decrease the number of cases and COVID-19-related deaths to a level that the state’s healthcare system can handle. In an effort to do so, Evers announced a plan to greatly increase the state’s testing capacity for COVID-19. Evers said in a news conference Monday that the Badger
Bounce Back plan was established to help the state reach the White House’s recommended criteria for reopening the state. The full Badger Bounce Back plan is available at https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/ W I G OV / 2 0 2 0 / 0 4 / 2 0 / file_attachments/1431305/ Badger%20Bounce%20 Back%20PlanFINAL.pdf. State health officials are setting a goal of 85,000 tests per week, averaging roughly 12,000 tests per day. In addition to expanded testing, health officials will be expanding contact tracing in an effort to track the spread of the coronavirus. According to the release, every Wisconsinite who tests positive will be interviewed within 24 hours of receiving their test results. People they have been in contact with will be interviewed within 48 hours of test results coming back. Evers said once the state sees a 14-day downward trajectory of influenza-like illnesses and COVID-19 symptoms being reported, Wisconsin will be able to
resume in-person classes and bars and other nonessential businesses could reopen. Under the third phase, all business activity and gatherings would resume with minimal preventative measures.
gradually reopen. Evers directed Wisconsin Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm to issue Emergency Order #31 to establish the state’s plan for reopening. Under the first phase, gatherings of up to 10 people would be allowed, K-12 schools could resume in-person operations, child care settings could resume full operation and restaurants could reopen with social distancing requirements. Under the second phase, mass gatherings of up to 50 people would be allowed, colleges and universities could
Despite this announcement, Gov. Evers still stands by his original announcement on Thursday, April 16, 2020, of extending the "Safer at Home" order until 8:00 a.m., May 24, 2020 — or until a superseding order is issued. Evers stated that there had been a reduction in new cases, which shows that "Safer at Home" is working. However, we were not yet near where we need to be in order to lift the order all together. The Badger Bounce Back plan gives us a working outline of where we have to be and how to finally get back to normal. The announcement of the Badger Bounce Back comes after protests of locals demanding that stores open and the "Safer at Home" order be immediately lifted.

Former Journal Sentinel columnist Veteran WISN 12 journalist Mike Anderson passes away Eugene Kane dies at 63 Longtime Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane, who stirred the pot on race and its impact on Milwaukee’s African American community and the central city, was found dead in his east side apartment Thursday, April 16, 2020; he was 63. No foul play was suspected; the medical examiner conducted testing for COVID-19 over the weekend but the results returned negative Monday morning. Kane, who never married and didn’t have any children, graduated from Temple University and moved from Philadelphia to Milwaukee in September 1984 to work for the Milwaukee Journal, then the city’s evening newspaper. He covered a number of beats before becoming best known for his award-winning column "Raising Kane" in the Journal Sentinel. The col-
umn consistently challenged readers to deal with race as a force in politics, culture, business and the media. "Eugene was a passionate journalist and wonderful writer who cared deeply about justice. As a columnist, he encouraged the people of Milwaukee and America to listen to our better angels, to confront our failures and to not surrender to accepting racial injustices and inequities. He urged us all, including himself, to be better,"
An NCON Communications Publication
said George Stanley, editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and regional editor of USA TODAY-Wisconsin. Quiet, even shy, by nature, Kane was willing to tackle touchy subjects head-on, and wasn't afraid to make readers uncomfortable. He was known in the newsroom for talking and listening to even the most angry callers, and responding to emails and letters, even if they crossed the line of civility. For one column that demonstrated his commitment to try to understand people whose opinions differed from his own, Kane invited James Fendry, president of the Wisconsin Pro-Gun Movement, to watch "Bowling for Columbine" together. The movie explores the proliferation of guns in America leading up to the 1999 massacre (Continued on pg. 6)

WISN 12 News Director Ben Hart shared the news with station staff Tuesday morning. Mike began his career at WISN in 1981. During his tenure at WISN, he covered countless news events, including the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged his hometown of New Orleans. Over the years, Mike produced breakthrough news reports about issues involving racial inequality, economic development, local governance, political upheaval, and inner-city violence. Mike was the recipient of many awards,
including for his work on the award-winning documentaries "Children in the Line of Fire" and "Solutions to Violence." He interviewed four U.S. presidents: Richard M. Nixon, George Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Before joining WISN 12 News, Mike worked as a news anchor and reporter at KIRO-TV in Seattle. He began his professional career as a radio journalist, crossing into television news while working in Birmingham. Mike attended Louisiana State University and the Career Acad-
emy School of Broadcast Journalism. He was a member of the Wisconsin Black Media Association. Mike was also involved with the Milwaukee "Black Excellence Awards" for more than a decade. He emceed the annual awards ceremony and produced the video presentation the last few years. Mike retired from WISN 12 News in 2017. He enjoyed coming back to TV to share fun Milwaukee events like Summerfest and the Wisconsin State Fair. When he wasn't reporting the news, Mike liked playing a round of golf. He is survived by his wife and three children. Mike was remembered fondly by his family at WISN 12 News. (Continued on pg. 6)

Gov. Evers announces Wisconsin is taking big steps to increase COVID-19 testing capacity Gov. Tony Evers announced on Monday, April 20, 2020, that the state of Wisconsin is taking big steps to increase COVID-19 testing capacity throughout the state. Working with the Wisconsin Clinical Lab Network, the state has grown the number of labs performing COVID-19 tests from just eight labs one month ago to 36 labs as of Monday. The state plans to continue public-private partnerships to add more labs and more testing capacity in the days and weeks ahead. However, in order to sustain the existing and expanded clinical lab network’s efforts, the state will need federal partnership to ensure availability of reagent and other critical supplies in Wisconsin. Testing is key to Wisconsin turning the dial on COVID-19 and reopening the state. With increased testing, Wisconsin gets a more accurate sense of the spread of the virus. More testing also means improved contact tracing efforts, which help identify possible exposures to COVID-19. The follwing is a summary of how far the state has come in expanding testing and actions being taken to conduct more tests. Where Wisconsin started Wisconsin started its COVID-19 testing efforts with a small group of dedicated labs, including the State Laboratory of Hygiene, the Milwaukee Public Health Lab, UW Health, Gundersen Lutheran, ACL Laboratories, Mayo Clinic, and Wisconsin Diagnostic Lab. This group helped build a critical base to grow from, and the state offers a special thanks to each of them for getting in on the ground floor. Testing in the state needs to be increased, and thanks to Exact Sciences, Epic Systems, Marshfield Clinic Health System, the State Laboratory of Hygiene, the Wisconsin Clinical Lab Network, the City of Milwaukee Public Health Lab, the Wisconsin National Guard, and other important partners, Wisconsin is making that happen. New initiatives This week, plans are in place to greatly accelerate testing in Wisconsin, including: • Eleven National Guard teams serving a rapid response role in hotspots and underserved areas of the state will collect specimens for COVID-19 testing. This weekend, one of those teams began using 1,100 Exact Sciences test supplies to offer testing to all inmates and staff at the Milwaukee House of Correction to help control the outbreak there.

Starting Monday, two teams of citizen soldiers will also be staffing standup specimen collection sites at Milwaukee Health Services Inc.’s clinics on Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. and Silver Spring Road. • The state is working with Tribal partners to ensure that their communities receive testing they need. Starting this week, 1,000 tests will be delivered per week to Tribal health clinics. • Exact Sciences is devoting a significant portion of its lab capacity and resources to COVID-19 tests processing. This will enable them to provide the state with approximately 20,000 tests and processing each week, which will be distributed to health care systems throughout the state. This was a major effort by Exact Sciences undertaken in a very short amount of time. • Epic is providing crucial assistance in our effort to distribute Exact Sciences’
tests by providing the interoperability necessary to connect healthcare providers with Exact to ensure timely processing of tests and reporting of test results. • Promega is providing major support by sourcing high demand reagents and materials for a number of labs in the state including Exact Sciences’ lab. In addition to these materials, they’ve also shared equipment and provided invaluable problem-solving skills. They are a critical part of the supply chain in supporting expanded testing. • This week, Marshfield Clinic Health System will be working on ramping up to process 10,000 tests per week from providers around the state. • 2,200 test collection supplies and PPE are headed to Green Bay in response to an outbreak with significant risk (Continued on pg. 3)

It is with great sadness that The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper announces the passing of local community leader George Matthews. George had been hospitalized for the last several weeks with COVID-19. George finally succumbed to the virus on Monday, April 20, 2020 at 3:00 a.m. George was a Milwaukee native who graduated from Rufus King International School, and later the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He was employed as a teaching assistant with Milwaukee Public Schools and also worked part-time as a driver for Able Access Transportation, LLC, but he was best known for his public service work in the community. George was a member of the Milwaukee Times Black Excellence committee which helps organize our annual community awards event and scholarship. He was also an
active member of the Milwaukee North Sunrise Rotary Club and participated in a number of their community service projects throughout the year; as well as an active member of the Milwaukee Urban League Guild. George was a board member for the Social Development Commission and was an active member in his church, St. Matthew Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. George devoted much of his time to working with organizations that helped children and veterans. George is survived by his sister, Bernadine Matthews; his brother, WNOV Radio personality Eugene Mathews, as well as a number of other family members and a great number of friends and church family who will greatly miss him. Funeral services as of this time are still pending.

On an 8-7 vote, Milwaukee Ald. Cavalier "Chevy" Johnson was elected Common Council president, succeeding Ald. Ashanti Hamilton. Late last week, Hamilton, who had been seeking re-election to the council's leadership role, dropped out of the race and instead endorsed Ald. Milele Coggs. The public split broke with recent precedent in which the race for Common Council president is hashed out behind closed doors with a winner picked unanimously in public. The vote itself came after a series of statements
An NCON Communications Publication
by Coggs and three of her colleagues in support of her and her decade-plus experience on the council as the city faces significant financial challenges, including from the immense costs of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Incoming Ald. JoCasta Zamarripa also spoke in support of Johnson and the care she said he shows for his residents. Johnson was first elected in 2016. The vote followed the swearing in Tuesday of the 15-member Common Council.

potential to the community. Having these tools is essential to the local health department and healthcare system response. • In partnership with Exact Sciences and the Community Health Centers in Milwaukee, the state is supporting additional testing capacity. The Health Centers will work first with their patients, and as additional capacity becomes available, will broaden their outreach to support access to testing for others in need. Community Health Centers have networks within the community and with other social service organizations and will work through those channels to support additional testing. • Wisconsin Diagnostic Labs provided much-appreciated support to the 16th Street Community Health Clinic drive-thru testing project. They’re also expanding their capacity and offering help to clinical partners experiencing challenges with access to lab capacity. • Through additional procurement efforts by the state, Wisconsin will be receiving over 250,000 additional test collection supplies in the coming weeks.

Being Frank The COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the entire world. For example, there are no sports being played in the USA. Yet, there are several things from this pandemic that people can be thankful for. One is the quality time parents are being able to spend with their children. With schools being closed during this time parents are enjoying the company of their children. Many of these parents are finally enjoying the fruits of their loins. These same parents now have a better understanding of the daily trials that a teacher goes through. COVID-19 has caused school districts around the country to close. This along with the fact that many businesses are closed has led to an increase of family time. Parents are being graced with the company of children they raised. Many of these same parents are now understanding that their parenting skills have been lacking. Many parents are beginning to understand that the wonderful

behaved child they thought they had doesn’t exist. The stark reality has begun to set in with these parents. Their children are quite possibly fools at best. Yes, many American parents are realizing that child they send to school may not be the person they imagined. This realization should lead to a greater appreciation of teachers. Parents who have elementary-aged children realize that for several hours a day teachers deal with a problem they created. Many parents who have high school
aged children are finding out that their children are not innocent in any facet of life. COVID-19 is not only killing people, it is killing many people’s illusions. Let’s start with the parent of high school students. Many parents of high school students live in a dream world when it comes to their child. These are the parents who feel their child does nothing wrong. Many people think that it is the lower-income parent whose child does the dirt. This is a wrong assumption. Many problem high
school students are from the so called good family. Many of these students drive themselves to school in their own car. A large number of these students are rude and inconsiderate students. Disrespect is common in many high schools around the USA. Since these disrespectful children can’t release at school they are doing it at home. Middle school parents, I take my hat off to you. This is the level of school where many parents pull their hair out when school is in session from dealing with their child. With school being out parents are home with their middle school child who seems to always be up to something. The middle school student can be tough to deal with. In many cases hormones are kicking in and these children are feeling their oats and trying to sow them. Can you imagine dealing with a hard-headed child who thinks they know everything for 24 hours a day? This is what is happening in
the USA at this time. We won’t cover the elementary students because everyone knows these are the best behaved level of student. Not. Still in the interest of time I’ll let your imagination run wild as you picture these parents locked in with their elementary student. When this pandemic passes, hopefully things will go back to a semblance of normal in the USA. Once again parents of school aged children in the US will be sending their children off to school. Parents, please be sure to send a thank you card or small gift to your child’s instructors.

The blended family (Week 3) Did you know that many, but not all, remarriages involve blended families? According to data from the National Center for Health Statistics,1 6 in 10 (63 percent) women in remarriages are in blended families, and about half of these remarriages involve stepchildren who live with the married couple. While blended families involve remarriage, not all remarriages produce blended families. Remarriages involving spouses who have no children from prior relationships would not create blended families. In addition, this same study reported that Hispanic, African American and Caucasian children are equally likely to live in a blended family. About 17 percent of Hispanic and African American children are living with a step-parent, step-sibling or a half-sibling, as are 15 percent of Caucasian children. It can take several years for a child to form a bond with a stepfather or mother. But once that bond is formed it can be fantastic! In continuation of the articles on step-parenting, this week, I will present
Dr. Phil’s concluding advice on how to create a phenomenal family. What Role Should Stepparent Play?2 By Dr. Phil #4. It is important that the step-parent not have unrealistic expectations about their level of closeness or intimacy with the step-children. Relationships are built, and it takes time and shared experiences to create a meaningful one. The step-parent should also be aware that the child may be experiencing a fair amount of emotional confusion and may in fact feel guilty that they're betraying their biological mother or father by having a close and caring relationship with their step-mother or father. #5. The step-parent should actively support the child’s relationship with the biological mother or father no longer in the home. If you are in the role of step-father, you should make it a priority to nurture a relationship between you and the biological father and to find every possible way you can to support a relationship between him and his children. By taking
is encouraged at a very early point to stop complaining and start specifically asking for what you want and need. Sources: 1 Pew Research Center, Social & Demographic Trends, Dec. 2015. 2 Dr. Phil, What Role Should Stepparent Play?, Nov. 2015 the high road of facilitation, you'll find it easier to overcome feelings of resentment both on the part of the biological father and the children he no longer has daily access to. Most importantly, don't let jealousy or envy of the bond they share with their children or the working relationship and history with your current mate cause you to be less than supportive of that relationship. #6. If you're the step-parent in a truly blended family, where both you and your spouse have children being merged into a "yours, mine and ours" scenario, take great care not to be perceived as playing favorites through a double standard in which
your children enjoy a better standard of treatment than your step-children. As time goes on and you share life experiences with your step-children, there will be a leveling of emotions toward all of the children. In the meantime, you should be hypersensitive to the need to deal with each in a like fashion. It can be very helpful in the early stages to actually quantify and balance the time, activities and money spent on biological and non-biological children. #7. Finally, according to Dr. Phil, if you as a biological parent are having frustrations with the step-parent and what they're doing in relation to your children, it

NFL Hall of Famer Willie Davis died on Wednesday, April 15, 2020, at age 85, according to the Green Bay Packers.

Remembering the life of John L. Dodds
Wisconsin. John L. was a determined individual with a strong work ethic, which is reflected in the 28 years he committed to Telsmith Company and 13 years at Miller Compressing Company. He enjoyed going to work ever y d ay a nd spending quality time with his family and friends. He loved driving to Dermott, Arkansas so much that people thought he never left. He enjoyed attending reunions and the Dermott Crawfish Festival. John L. liked to frequent the horse and dog tracks. He was also a gifted
for John L. to travel, and it was his transition from life. He shared countless stories of road trips to Arkansas. A lot of us experienced the trips with him, but this was a special journey between him and the Lord. Now he will go on his journey with the best travel guide.

We love you always, your family.
The life and legacy of our Queen Mother Callie L. Kates “A Time to be Born” Mother Callie L. Kates was born on February 15, 1928 to the spiritual union of Tom Quincy, Sr. and Leora Johnson Quincy-Jones in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Mother Kates was the fifth child out of seven children. “A Time to Plant” Mother Callie L. Kates was raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where she received her formal education from the Alabama Public School System. After graduating from high school she relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 1947. She continued her higher education and training as a dietitian and in child care. Mother Callie L. Kates worked for thirty years. She was employed at a popular furs and coats company. She also held an occupation as a dietitian. Mother Kates received several accolades for her work. Her supervisor was so impressed that she offered her a promotion as dietitian manager. Mother Kates continued to work until she retired. Mother Kates accepted Christ at an early age and never deviated from what she professed. She received her Christian foundation from Rehoboth Church of God in Christ (COGIC) under the leadership of the www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
founder and Pastor Verdell Wallace. “A Time to Love” Her love story began on a magnificent day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mr. Buster L. Kates, Jr., was walking and saw a young, beautiful lady walking as well. While Callie was talk ing with friends and relatives, she noticed a man and said, “Who is that handsome, tall, fast walking man?” Buster Jr. approached Callie and from the first time they met, it was love at first sight. She was the apple of his eye and he was the love of her life. Callie was united in holy matrimony with Mr. Buster L. Kates, Jr. in 1951. To this union six children were born. The Kates Family joined Williams Temple Church of God in Christ under the leadership of the founder and Pastor Bishop J.C. Williams. It was Mother Kates’ pleasure to serve Williams Temple COGIC in the following m i n ist r ies: Head of t he Cleaning Committee, singing in the Choir, appointed as Second Sunday Women’s Day Prayer Warrior, and facilitated Com mu n ion ever y f i rst Sunday of the month. After the passing of Bishop J.C. Williams, with a portion of her family, Mother Kates later joined St. Emmanuel Church
of God in Christ under the leadership of founder Pastor Vornia Mc Gahee and CoPastor Evangelist Ora Mc Gahee, u nt i l her hea lt h prevented her from attending. Mother Kates truly loved and cherished those she encountered. In her leisure she exercised her passion for cooking for her husband, children, relatives and friends. Mother Kates cooked and served for over 50 years. She was delighted to host a plethora of family and friends, similar to a restaurant. Her baby daughter affectionately referred to her cook i ng and hospitality as, “Callie’s Kitchen!” Mother Kates loved God, was a woman of faith, was a praying woman, a woman of great integrity, faithful to her church and vowed to serve
the Lord. She was dedicated to reading the Bible, enjoyed listening to Gospel music, Christian shows, sewing and shopping for her stylish flair. “A Time to Die” Mother Kates exchanged her ticket from this life to eternal life where there is no more crying, no more pain, on Tuesday, March 24, 2020. When she arrived to her final destination, she joined in the great family reunion with her loving husband, Deacon Buster L. Kates, Jr.; her parents, Tom Sr. and Leora Quincy - Jones; her beloved daughter, Sister Linda S. Kates; siblings, aunts and uncles. “A Time of Peace” God walked in his garden and decided he needed an extraordinary flower for his vase, so he plucked Mother Callie L. Kates. She now has a life to live that is eternal, she lives in a new city with twelve gates made of pearls, streets of pure gold, a river living water, tree of life; which bared twelve manner of fruits. A city where there is no need for sun or moon. The glory of God lights it up all along, for there is no night. She has no concern about suffering, for the leaves of that tree are for the healing nation. There is no hospital, for God has
wiped away all the tears from her eyes. There is no more death, neither sorrow, nor pain, for the former things are passed away and all new things are now. Mother Kates peacefully left Tuesday afternoon. Her endearing smile provided a sense of love and appreciation to all of those who knew her. Her beautiful spirit lives in our minds and hearts, so well until we hear that call. She leaves to cherish her precious memor ies: her beloved children, Evangelist Stanley L. Kates, Sr. (Bobbie), Elder Americus Kates, Sr. (Vicky), Deacon Buster L. Kates III, Sister Versa T. Kates and Sister Lutisha L . “ Jack ie” K ates; f ive grandchildren, Angela M. Kates, Theresa C. Moore (Micheal), Americus Kates, Jr., Stanley L. Kates, Jr. and Terrell D. Kates; five greatgrandch i ldren, Kamerah Kates, Jayda Moore, Kayden Kates, Daliyah Kates and Micah Moore; two godsons, Lloyd Roseman and Ra’Fael Ward, all of Milwaukee, WI, and a host of other relatives and friends. We have lost a Mother, g rand mot her, g reatg rand mot her, au nt , and friend but Heaven has gained a Queen.

Eugene Kane passes (Continued from pg. 1) at Columbine High School in Colorado. The headline of Kane's column: "My date with the gun guy." Mikel Holt, a columnist for the Milwaukee Community Journal, called Kane an “old school tree shaker.” “He was proud to be a black journalist when a lot of folks didn’t want to be reduced to that title,” he said. Kane was entrusted to tell the struggles of the underserved community to a mostly white audience, Holt said. “He wasn’t just a black journalist. He was one of us. He said the things that needed to be said and heard by a wider audience,” Holt said. During their private conversations, Kane told Holt that he never went a week without receiving a hate letter. “But he took that for us,” Holt said.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett called Kane a gifted writer who was passionate about justice in our society. “I knew him for decades. There were times we worked closely together. There were times when he challenged me and challenged the city. And, every time that he challenged us I took it very seriously because I knew that he was speaking from a place of wanting to do what’s right for the people of this community," Barrett said. Columns won many national awards While working at the Journal Sentinel, Kane earned a prestigious Knight Fellowship at Stanford University for the 1992-'93 academic year. He hosted the Milwaukee Public Television show "Black Nouveau" from 2002 to 2006. He lectured at both Marquette University and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. And he served as the president of the Wisconsin Black Media Association in 2002. Marty Kaiser, former editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, called Kane one of

the most important voices in the history of Wisconsin journalism. “His columns were 'must reads' to understand issues in Milwaukee that had been too often ignored,” Kaiser said. Kane earned numerous accolades for his work. He was a two-time National Headliner Award winner for Best Local Column; a National Association of Black Journalists award winner for Best Commentary; and a Sigma Delta Chi Award winner
Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper
from the Society of Professional Journalists for Best General Column. Kane left the Journal Sentinel in 2012, after a 28-year career. On his last day, just before heading out, he brought the house down by standing in the center of the newsroom and belting out "Moon River.” In 2014, Kane was inducted into both the Wisconsin Media Hall of Fame and the Milwaukee Press Club Hall of Fame. In February 2017, Kane was honored along with WTMJ-TV Channel 4's Carole Meekins by the Wisconsin Black Media Association in an event entitled “Honoring Our Own,” at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society. Over the past five years, Kane faced a number of health issues. While driving to visit his sister’s home near Washington, D.C., in 2015,he suffered a stroke. He was in a medically induced coma after doctors determined he suffered a diabetic seizure, which led to
the stroke. In an essay after the ordeal, he said he was saved by a real life angel, a highway employee who came upon his car on the highway. He urged people to take to heart the warning signs of diabetes, which disproportionately affect African American men. In the essay for the Journal Sentinel, Kane closed by writing: "I have a new appreciation when a medical condition is called 'a silent killer.' I was almost a victim of this particular killer, but now consider myself a survivor who briefly crossed over to the other side, yet managed to return and stand in the light. "I vow to cherish each new day as a mark of success over that darkness, and to make sure the people in my life know how much I cherish them — and how much I want them to take care of themselves. "And if you're reading this, that means you."
Mike Anderson passes (Continued from pg. 1) "Mike was the coolest guy who ever worked or ever will work at Channel 12," WISN 12 Chief Meteorologist Mark Baden said. "He was so loved by everyone in the community. From his wonderful collection of hats to that infectious smile and laugh. It did not matter if you were white, black, or brown, Mike was so approachable. Milwaukee has lost a treasure." "I worked with Mike for more than 20 years. The reporter/photojournalist relationship is one that goes beyond being a co-worker," WISN 12 News Chief Photojournalist Jason Hunter said. "You have a bond that is unlike that of any other profession. As a team you must endure covering the best of times, and the worst of times…delivering both good and bad news to your viewers. Mike was one of the best journalists I've ever worked with, but beyond that, he was an even better human being. A day working

with Mike was always a pleasure; even if it was a bad day, Mike always found the bright side of things. He made us all better journalists, and better people. RIP my friend. You will be missed." "I am heartbroken and deeply saddened to hear of Mike Anderson’s passing," WISN 12 News reporter Hillary Mintz said. "Mike was my friend and mentor at WISN. He not only shared advice with me about journalism, but about life and family. His sincerity, his smile and storytelling will stay with me. I extend my sympathies to his family at home and all of my colleagues at WISN who also considered Mike family."

Taken but not forgotten. I will keep my remembrance of you alive forever in my heart. Never, never will you be left without having the last say. It's who you are my sister. Day after day and night by night, I ask God why were you taken but nor forgotten. The Spirit keep telling me that you were God's choice; to show us the way, to lead us into tomorrow through your love and kindness. Debbie, I think of you all the time. I know you once said to never let you go ''without giving me justice for the good I have done." Today my sister, I am not going to give up keeping your name and life alive until all justice is done for you and all the other people who have lost love ones. I know the police chief and the mayor have moved on. But there are still some questions about your death due to a hit-and-run driver. For example. Why did they say you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I can't ask you what happened, because you are not here with me. I have decided to keep the facts out there until you get the truth. The police said they pulled the driver over and he took off. They stopped chasing him. But the truth needs to be told because, as you and I know, the police department has a chase policy that says if you run they will chase you. Police said they stopped the chase and heard a loud bang and rolled up and saw you. One officer s told news reporters that you were sitting parked in your car. That is not possible because you were on the way to get your daughter. Police said they saw him run through the red light. So sis, it seems the very people you served for more than 30 years as a 911 operator are turning their backs on the truth. It's funny because_ you always said whatever happened to you ''don't let me not get my justice my brother." It took weeks to catch the Negro who took you from me and the rest of the family. It's like the police chief and the mayor are saying to the family that you were just like anybody else. Who gets killed by these young people driving crazy out here. But you were one of theirs, and as of today there is nothing else being said to bring any kind of healing upon the family. You like the many other who have lost love ones are being kept in the dark, beyond the reach of the truth. SO I SAY: GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. I LOVE YOU. SIS, KEEP THE LIGHT ON. Love , your brother Darrell Alexander

Milwaukee Fresh Food Access Fund Grants awarded Program invests in capital projects and education efforts
The City of Milwaukee has identified twenty-four different programs that increase access to, or information about, healthy food in underserved neighborhoods, and these programs will share a total of up to $400,000 in city-funded grants. The Fresh Food Access Fund grant recipients are located in neighborhoods on the south side, the north side, and the west side of the city. All awardees are required to match the city funds, so the grants will leverage at least $800,000 for efforts that promote healthy foods. “Milwaukee neighborhoods that lack healthy food options and information leave residents vulnerable. And, these same neighborhoods have been disproportionately impacted by Covid-19,” Mayor Tom Barrett said. “City government is making an investment to improve access to nutritious food in order to address one part of this health issue.” Alderman Khalif J. Rainey, a longtime advocate of providing fresh foods to underserved communities, is looking forward to funds being issued and utilized. “The
current climate has shown how important it is to maintain healthy habits,” said Alderman Rainey. “I look forward to these dollars making an impact in the community by not only providing healthy food options, but also creating opportunities for employment and education around healthy lifestyles.” Twelve of the recipients will offer educational programs that promote healthy eating. For example, HeartLove Place’s Community Garden program will expand with educational programs that promote healthy food and nutrition; Core El Centro will add new workshops
to its wellness and nutrition programs; and, Bayview Community Center will use the grant to support its Family Chefs program in partnership with local professional chefs. Twelve more grants will go to Milwaukee agencies moving forward with projects that add buildings, equipment, and/or supplies. Examples of these capital projects include expansion of the community garden at the Muslim Community Health Center on the south side, various improvements at North Division High School to expand the Greener, Healthier Schoolyards
project, and a new Fresh and Healthy Grocery Store inside St. Joseph Hospital on the west side sponsored by the Hunger Task Force. A review panel that included several representatives from outside city government considered all the applications for the Fresh Food Access Fund program. Individual grants range in size from several thousand dollars to tens-of-thousands of dollars for large capital projects. The grant recipients will move ahead on their projects as current Safer At Home restrictions are eased. The city will distribute the grants to the awardees once documented expenses are submitted. A full list of grant recipients is as follows. Fresh Food Access Fund Grant Awardees: Educational Programs $5,000 - Bayview Community Center $5,000 - Children's Community Health Plan $5,000 - Core EL Centro $5,000 - Cross Lutheran Church $5,000 - Dominican Center for Women
$ 5,000 - FoodRight $ 5,000 - HeartLove Place Inc $1,500 - Near West Side Partners $3,525 - Northwest Side CDC $5,000 - The Gathering of Southeast WI $3,200 - Tikkun Ha-lr of Milwaukee $4,055 -YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee Capital Programs $38,840 - The Table Alice's Garden $37,500 - Walnut Way $25,000 - Friedens Community Ministries $55,000 - Milwaukee Board of School Directors $17,600 - Groundwork Milwaukee $10,000 - MacCanon Brown Homeless Sanctuary $55,000 - Victory Garden $50,000 - Hunger Task Force $12,780 - Housing Authority of the City Milwaukee $10,000 - Pickle Alley Produce $10,000 - Muslim Community Health Center $21,200 - Mt Calvary Community Development

Coronavirus and the new American economy (part 1) By Solomon Ali, CEO of NDR Energy Group and Revolutionary Concepts The face of the American economy is forever changed by this coronavirus pandemic. In three weeks time we've witnessed financially viable companies go into rapid freefall by the millions, starting with employees and trickling rapidly. Small to midsized businesses are laying off in record numbers, and there is no clear end in sight. With the spread of coronavirus, people are being asked to choose between their livelihoods and their very lives. Businesses are pairring down to "skeleton crews," keeping just enough workers on board to get by and doubling remaining employees' duties. Never before have we realized just how interconnected we all are in our quest for survival. Although so many are in the same boat, businesses that prided themselves on having a good credit standing will now find it more difficult to negotiate lines of credit or to have contracts and lines of credit re-instated once things begin to normalize, save for some debt forgiveness programs and financial incentives being granted through the federal government's CARE Act. The late Jack Welch, who held the position of Chairman and CEO of General Electric, worked hard to eliminate bureaucracy and increase growth for General Electric. He was known for firing unproductive managers and eliminating whole divisions within his company, and then acquiring other companies and driving them to better management and increased profits - a true master of corporate structuring.
Warren Buffett, as Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has built his fortune, not investing in companies, but investing in management teams. The late Jack Welch was once quoted as saying, "This whole game of business revolves around one thing. You build the best team, you win." This quote may sound overly simplistic during such uncertain times, but I can break down how it applies to all of us, the future of our financial health and our economy. The America we once knew is forever changed. I believe hundreds of thousands of businesses will be lost throughout the United States. I further believe and estimate that certain industries will become obsolete, however new ones will be created. There are certain industries that thrive in tough times, perhaps due to some of the foils of human nature. Let's first take note of these. Companies that will thrive during this pandemic will most likely be within real estate (investors and wouldbe investors love a buyer's market), liquor and tobacco sales, firearms sales, streaming entertainment, sectors of law that deal in financial hardship (think bankruptcies and foreclosures), virtual meeting software, healthcare and banking. The last one may shock you. You might be wondering, "If people can't make their payments, how can banks thrive?" As someone who has built a career on obtaining capital for businesses and bringing businesses public, overseeing mergers and acquisitions, and investing as a private equity investor in many companies, I
Solomon Ali can tell you that, much like casinos, "the house always wins." Banks come out on top because they are brilliant at transmuting and consolidating, and when all else fails either calling in loans or bundling and selling them to Wall Street. In the coming six months to a year, you will see banks call the loans that appear to be weaker bets and extending new loans to much stronger companies. Therefore, companies with weaker margins will find it harder to survive in the climate that is to come, but companies with solid margins and strong infrastructure will grow in strength at the end of the coronavirus bell curve. Conversely, industries like travel, hospitality, brick and mortar retail, brick and mor-
tar consumer services, locally driven services that require face-to-face social interaction and manufacturing will suffer the most during this time. Apart from necessities like food, medication and certain sundries, consumers are now buying less goods and services as their financial insecurity and anxiety grows along with massive loss of income. As of April 2, 2020 a record 6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment, an unprecedented figure. This a fertile ground for private equity investors, hedge funds and venture capitalists to reap the benefits of undervalued assets. This can create a huge opportunity for private equity investors, venture capitalist firms and hedge funds. They can boost the economy by investing their monies into struggling and failing businesses and gaining a substantial stake in new and emerging industries. Many businesses that rely on self-financing or "self-funding" will begin to falter as personal financing dries up. In addition, many Americans will be scaling down the brands they have always used. Chain stores and large franchise stores will have a better chance of making it through this storm. We are going to be looking at a
new world and a new economy in a way that our country has not experienced since the 1930s. The good news is, we will witness the birth and growth of emerging industries, as this decade and century progresses, much like the horse and buggy gave way to an automotive industry. Companies will be able to work more efficiently due to A.I. and robot technology. There will be a significant streamlining of support staff, while mathematic, scientific and maintenance staff will be needed to services artificial intelligence and robotics-based devices. China’s economy has also impacted our world in ways that the average American is not directly aware of. We owe China what seems like an insurmountable debt, a byproduct of the Great Recession of the late 2000s. During this time, China bought up a great deal of American debt. I do think, because of the coronavirus outbreak, our federal government stands to re-negotiate its debt with China. Our leverage point is that the United States economy cannot collapse, because we are the largest economy in the world and every other economy is dependent upon it. Part 2 : Continued next week

After Glow
I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Tribute to a Rose If we did not leave roses, We would not have A way to express love. They could not grow. If roses did not have roots, They could not stand. If roses did not have thorns, They could not protect themselves. If roses did not have beauty, They could not represent you.

“This is where they used my own DNA to design the most effective cancer treatment.” – Adrienne Cancer Survivor
Patient-centered care. A whole new level of personalized medicine. At 33, Adrienne found a lump after returning from a run. Her life-changing diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer made her an ideal candidate for genetic testing – an advanced option using her own DNA to find the most effective approach. Experts recommended chemotherapy to shrink the tumor before surgery. Now, thanks to her personalized plan, she’s looking forward to spending more time with her daughter. If it’s cancer, you want specialized teams like Adrienne’s working together for you.
