David Crowley sworn in as Milwaukee's first African American county executive For the first time in nearly a decade, Milwaukee County has a new county executive. David Crowley was sworn in outside his Milwaukee home Monday, May 4, 2020, succeeding Chris Abele and becoming the first African American to hold the county's top job. "We have a lot to do and I'm excited to get to work for the people of Milwaukee County," Crowley said after being sworn in. "I first want to thank every voter who came out on April 7. You braved confusion, long lines, bad weather and a global pandemic to make sure that your voices were heard. So many people tried to stop you. Yet you still voted." In line with social distancing guidance during the coronavirus pandemic, Wisconsin Appeals Court Judge Joe Donald swore Crowley

in from a distance. Crowley’s wife, Ericka, held the Bible. “I want to congratulate you on the historic election,” Donald said before Crowley took the oath. “We need your focus, drive and resilience, and so I’m looking forward to all the great things to come.” Media and supporters, in-
cluding Abele, gathered for the event. On the door behind Crowley hung an American flag. Crowley recalled learning about the community's civil rights trailblazers when he was in grade school. "Every single one of those leaders of color and many, many others who came be-
fore me were responsible for bending that arc of the moral universe a little bit more towards justice," he said, citing the famous line from Martin Luther King Jr. "And I am honored and humbled to have the opportunity and the responsibility to continue the hard work of bending the arc toward justice."

Wisconsin waiving road tests for new teen drivers DMV changing requirements amid coronavirus pandemic The Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles says teen drivers will no longer be required to pass a road test in order to receive their license. The announcement was made Tuesday, May 5, 2020. Officials said beginning May 11, teens can receive a waiver on the driving portion of their license application if they have completed driver education classes and have their parents' permission. Parents will need to complete forms to verify their teens have completed the necessary driving requirements. “The Division of Motor Vehicles has been at the forefront of making changes to protect the public and our associates during the public health emergency, while continuing to provide vital public services,” Secretary-designee Craig Thompson said. “These pilot programs represent innovative solutions to help Wisconsin address challenges created by the pandemic.” As many as 10,000 teens have been waiting to receive their licenses since the outbreak of the coronavirus, officials said.

Wisconsin will also now allow drivers aged 18-65 to renew their licenses online if they have not had a change in their vision. Late fees have also been waived until July 25. Officials said 98 percent of teens pass the road portion of their drivers's tests on their first or second attempts. Teen drivers who don't pass are likely nervous, officials said. DMV officials said the policy changes will limit in-person visits to local offices. In-person road tests will still be offered for teen drivers who wish to complete them.
An NCON Communications Publication
Officials said the road test portion of obtaining a license is a rite of passage for new teen drivers. When road tests resume, state officials conducting them will take precautions to limit interactions with drivers. The new DMV policies will be in place until the end of the coronavirus pandemic. Georgia's governor signed an executive order last month to suspend most road test requirements for teen drivers.

The blended family (conclusion) This entire month the focus has been on the blended/ step-family. While it has been established that step-parenting can be challenging, it can be rewarding as well. While many believe the terrible myths about step-families, in this conclusion, I have included information from Psychology Today indicating 80 percent of children of divorce or remarriage do succeed.

to the resilience of children. With additional study and research, we can learn a lot more about the strengths in step-families and how to support them. Co-Parenting A quote attributed to “Anonymous” notes that “co-parenting is not asking permission. It’s about discussing your children’s needs and wants and deciding what’s best.” When a divorce, separation and/or remarriage forces a disruption in the family, co-parenting is important for the children involved. “Co-parent” is defined as a person (such as a non-custodial parent or cohabiting partner) who shares parental duties with a custo-
Do’s: • Commit to making co-parenting an open dialogue with your Ex. • Rules should be consistent and agreed upon at both households. • Commit to positive talk around the house. Don’ts: • Jump to conclusions or condemn your Ex. • Give into guilt. • Accuse, but discuss. Beloved, if you need counseling to help deal with step-parenting issues that have arisen in your family, confide in your pastor or biblical counselor/therapist who will be able to help you navigate and understand issues that can and may arise in blended families.

Social distancing at home? Educational tips to help keep your kids occupied Due to the growing concerns around coronavirus disease (COVID-19), many school across the nation are temporarily closed. While you are at home with your family, you may be wondering how to keep your children occupied. The good news is, there are plenty of free online resources to keep them busy with creative educational games and activities. With COVID-19 keeping us socially distant, many educational companies are offering free subscriptions to those who find themselves stuck at home. For the child who is fascinated with animals, try National Geographic Kids, or find exciting 360° videos on YouTube. For the musician in your life, SmartMusic has access to a large music library. If you have always wanted to see Yellowstone National Park, the Champs-Élysées or the gardens of Versailles, you can visit Google Arts & Culture from the comfort of your own living room to explore these amazing sites. For the creative child, try downloading the app Do Ink to create frame-by-frame flip books or use their green screen to create your own videos. Featured in “Best New Apps in Education” in iTunes and classroom-tested by kids and teachers, your kids are sure to express

StarFall is also a great resource to learn phonics and early math skills. To play games, read and conduct cool science experiments, kids can hop over to Highlights Kids to explore all

Quizlet is another great resource for your child to create flashcards or to view cards created by others. The website allows you to quiz yourself and play games to study whatever subject you are learning. And, Khan Academy is a great platform that
offers personalized help with your child’s study needs. Since our public libraries are closed, the Libby app can help you access e-books and e-audiobooks for your devices from home. With an extended time at home with your children, this is also a great time to teach them some age appropriate life skills, such as: how to sew on a button, iron a shirt, change a tire, bake cookies, learn to make a change, tell time, household budgeting, how to do laundry, how to calculate a tip and meal planning.

“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.
