In State of the Union Address President Obama: ‘America has never come easy’ President Obama spoke to the nation Tuesday night, January 28, 2014 in his fifth State of the Union address to the nation, and to a joint session of the U.S. Congress by saying, “America has never come easy.”

“Our freedom, our democracy has never been easy,” President Obama said.

“But for more than 200 years we have put those things aside and placed our collective shoulders to the wheel of progress to free other nations from tyranny and fear, to promote justice, fairness and equality under the law.”

During his more than hour long address, the president focused on the nation’s energy policy, immigration, unemployment insurance, education, a higher minimum wage and national security.

The president also encouraged mothers to get their kids to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. “Moms, get on your kids to sign up. Kids, call your mom and walk her through the application; plus, she’ll appreciate hearing from you.”

Urban farming skills to grow in MPS with Gwen Moore opposes assault on women’s health aquaponics grant How to make science class relevant?

Design an inschool ecosystem where students can grow edible plants fertilized by fish urine and feces.

Aquaponics and its close cousin, hydroponics — cultivating plants in water — are the latest push from teachers trying to tap their students into the movement of farmto-table food and urban agriculture.

A $98,000 grant awarded Wednesday, January 29, 2014 to Milwaukee Public Schools from AT&T and the National Education Association Foundation will help expand the district's Urban Schools and Aquaponics initiative from a dozen high schools and K-8 schools to 18.

The district isn't alone.

From Kenosha to Waukesha, to New York and the West Coast, more schools are creating partnerships with local farms, agriculture experts or horticulture teachers at nearby colleges to get students involved in aquaponics or hydroponics.

Mary Bohning, a teacher at Harborside Academy, a grade

Growing Power's founder and CEO Will Allen 6-12 school in the Kenosha Unified School District, said they started by farming five acres in an industrial park donated to them by a local plastics manufacturer, then made the transition to aquaponics and hydroponics.

The interest grew, and now the goal is to have a garden at every district elementary school, she said.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Will Allen, a former pro basketball player and the best-known face of urban agriculture in Milwaukee through Growing Power, were on hand for the grant award to MPS at Bradley Tech High School Wednes-

day.

"Aquaponics is one way we can introduce our students to food careers," said Jody Bloyer, Bradley Tech principal.

Bradley Tech has an aquaponics classroom and greenhouse.

So does Morse-Marshall School, a middle and high school on the northwest side where teacher Thomas Baker created an aquaponics curriculum and has led students in growing everything from herbs and plants indoors to pumpkins and other plants in raised beds in the school's courtyard.

On Wednesday, January 29, 2014, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D- WI) joined her Democratic colleagues to oppose H.R. 7, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. She released this statement: “The 49th time is certainly not the charm. It may be a new year, but House Republicans are using the same tired tactics. The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act is yet another Republican sponsored messaging bill that is wholly deceptive. Except under narrow circumstances, no federal funds may currently be used to fund abortions. H.R. 7 is just another attempt to undermine both the Affordable Care Act and women's private health care decisions.

“Among other tactics, this bill would restrict how private funds are spent in the private insurance market.

This bill would also punish small business owners who provide comprehensive health coverage to their employees. In addition, H.R. 7 would permanently prevent abortion coverage for lowincome women, military women, civil servants and DC residents. Overall, this radical legislation seeks to restrict access to comprehensive health care coverage.

State of the Union: No time for delay

By Rev. Al Sharpton President, National Network

Action

A leader does more than just inspire. A true visionary not only identifies challenges and lays out his/her tangible solutions, but moves people to action. Last night, President Obama did precisely that during his State of the Union address. In a speech that can only be described as unifying, inclusive, honest and optimistic, the president outlined both our progress and our remaining tasks ahead. It was a masterful address comprised of the right energy and enthusiasm on our continued road to recovery. The president laid down the framework; now it's up to us to hit the pavement and carry that message through.

One man cannot do it alone.

If we care at all about the current state of our union, then we must work together to shape the future state of our union.

"Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better," said the president.

"But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has

By Rev. Al Sharpton deepened. Upward mobility has stalled. The cold, hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery, too many Americans are working more than ever just to get by, let alone to get ahead. And too many still aren't working at all. So our job is to reverse these trends. It won't happen right away, and we won't agree on everything. But what I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class."

From income inequality and jobs, to immigration, voting rights and gender equality, the president outlined key issues that need our immediate attention. Democracy isn't a passive form of governing; it requires us

all to raise our voices, vote, reach out to our representatives, organize and rally around issues that impact us every single day. We've had enough of the punditry, enough of both progressives and right-wingers acting like they are the smartest people in the room. It's time for the public -- for the people -- to get informed, educate their neighbors, register to vote, help others register and elect representatives that care more about repairing society than advancing their own careers.

Whether it's making sure the minimum wage is increased, comprehensive immigration reform is passed, women's rights protected, voter equality expanded and preserved, we must be the advocates for the change which we want to see in this world. A single individual cannot do everything -- not even the president. Progress will only be achieved through the executive office and with action in the streets and in the suites of America. We must get to work immediately. Those who continually obstruct the president and obstruct equality do not rest, and neither should we. Every moment they plot and plan

new schemes to divide us and regress society; we need to spend every moment strategizing ways to heal and advance us all.

Over the past several years, my organization, National Action Network, has been heavily involved with key civil rights issues like pushing back against harsh new voter ID laws, fighting on behalf of victims of police brutality, organizing gun buyback programs and education tours, advocating for community empowerment and more. In 2014, our efforts will only increase.

And I hope all Americans will do the same. We need to go into a spring and summer of action since clearly the obstructionists have no plans to cease their regressive behavior. This must be a year when we rise together peacefully and not only let our voices be heard, but let our actions unequivocally speak for themselves. For the only way to fight against inequality is to bring about more justice for every man, woman and child.

It's important to remember that when facing an immovable object, we must greet it with irreversible force. That is the only way.

Congresswoman Gwen Moore “House Republicans oppose government ‘interfering’ in our private lives except, of course, when it comes to women’s health.

It’s time for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to focus on ways to strengthen our economy and leave women’s private health decisions to women.”

Being Frank

3

By Frank James IV

It’s 2014…do you know where you are?

The year 2014 has just gotten underway and already the African American community has brought old ways into the New Year. It has been said to constantly do the same thing and expect different results is insanity.

If this is true, then why are African Americans still holding protest marches? Why are African Americans still ignorant of the society they live in? After over 400 years in the United States you have to wonder if African Americans are either retarded or insane.

There is outrage in the African American community over the lack of prosecution in the death of an African American male teen. How many times has this scenario been played out over the past ten years? How many marches have been held to stop the alarming propensity for Caucasians to kill African American males with no consequences? The results are always the same, none. You have to give the participants in this last protest credit; it takes gonads to march in Jan-

uary. You have to ask, what was accomplished? More importantly will the trend of dead African American males cease?

To constantly be on the reaction is sure to lead to disaster in any type of engagement. In health people use preventative medicine to keep sickness away. It’s time for African Americans to use preventative thinking to keep wasted deaths away. The main thing African Americans need to understand is where they are. This country is not Shangri La; this is the United States. The USA is a wonderful place but, like a tropical jungle, it can be dangerous.

If there is any race that should know the dangers of the USA it is the African American. The history of African Americans in the USA should be a lesson that every race could learn from.

If African Americans raised their male children with an understanding of the dangers of America, their death rate may drop. Any African American male who doesn’t

understand that they are in hostile territory is being set up for a lynching. No matter how you look at it, what happened to Corey Stingley was a lynching. Does this mean that the USA is a bad place?

No. What this means is, like the jungle, the USA can be dangerous.

The knowledge of the dangers of America need to be bestowed on the African American female also. This is key to the survival of the African American male. The African American female is in some ways more delusional than the male. Because

it is was hateful. This train of thought has crippled the entire race and allowed the lynching process to continue both physically and mentally.

African Americans have the opportunity to achieve anything they can dream of in the USA. Like the jungle, the USA has untold and hidden resources to be utilized to increase the quality of life. African Americans have to understand the law of the jungle and embrace the beauty and dangers of she is usually accepted quick- the USA.

State of Equality State of the Union Takeaway: Progress on Civil Rights

By Benjamin Todd Jealous Political Analyst and Civil Rights Activist In his State of the Union address, President Obama announced two important civil rights initiatives for workers struggling in this economy.

First, he will use his executive power to raise the minimum wage for government contract workers. Second, he will fight discrimination against the long-term unemployed, starting with a pledge from some of the biggest firms in the United States.

These are strong moves that show that President Obama is willing to use his constitutional powers and his bully pulpit to take action on civil rights when extremists in Congress will not.

During his speech, President Obama promised to issue an executive order that will require federal contractors to pay their employees at least $10.10 an hour. This is big news for the nearly two million workers across the country that earn less than $12 an hour while working as employees for government contractors -- more than the number of low-wage workers at Walmart and McDonald's put together.

As it so often does, Washington, D.C. serves as a mi-

crocosm of this injustice.

The federal government employs thousands of federal workers in the capital region through intermediary firms. These contractors work at Union Station, in the Defense Department and at other government buildings.

They are the ones who serve food, clean toilets or wash dishes for politicians and their staff. Yet according to the National Employment Law Project, almost four of ten full-time federal contract workers in D.C. depend on public assistance programs to survive.

One of these workers is Jerome Hardy, who earns $9.00 an hour manning the grill at the Pentagon Café.

He is a federal employee, but since he works through a private firm he does not receive the same benefits as a chef who works directly for the government. Hardy does not receive health insurance through his employer, and he has worked eight years without a raise.

President Obama's second big announcement dealt with the long-term unemployed -those who have been out of a job for more than 26 weeks.

The administration will lead a campaign to end discrimination against the unemployed, starting with an anti-discrimination pledge that has been

Benjamin Todd Jealous signed by AT&T, Xerox, and other major companies.

As I wrote at the time of President Obama's second inaugural, unemployment discrimination is one of the biggest issues of our time.

Even though employers are prohibited from discriminating based on race or gender, many states do not have laws against "employment discrimination 2.0" -- that is, discriminating against applicants who are unemployed, who have a low credit score or who have a criminal conviction on their record.

Unemployment discrimination is the ultimate catch-22: if you are out of a job, you are less likely to get another job, which makes it harder to get out of the unemployment cycle at all.

A landmark study showed that employers are far less likely to call an applicant for an interview if their re-

sume shows that they have been unemployed for a long period of time. That factor proved to be even more important than whether the applicant had any industry experience.

Or as human resources manager Kim Keough told the Wall Street Journal, "It's damned if you do, damned if you don't...The longer you are out of work, the more discriminatory companies get."

Long-term unemployment has consequences beyond the individual. Children with unemployed parents perform worse on tests and are more likely to repeat a grade in school. This affects people like Dan Strollo, a 42-yearold father of two who spoke about the difficulty of finding work as he neared the end of his benefits. He had applied to over 200 jobs, with no luck. As he put it, "The hurdles to find work these days are significantly more difficult than 10-20 years ago."

This year's State of the Union was encouraging because it showed that President Obama has heard the

stories of people like Jerome Hardy and Dan Strollo. He is taking action because he knows that America demands action.

His minimum wage announcement comes days after federal contract workers went on strike and marched outside the Reagan and Smithsonian buildings, just blocks from the White House. Likewise, his renewed focus on unemployment discrimination comes shortly after leaders and union members led a rally around longterm unemployment, urging House Republicans to stop blocking an extension of long-term unemployment insurance.

But House Republicans did not budge. Just like they did not budge in their opposition to a minimum wage increase, or their opposition to the American Jobs Act in 2012, which would have provided a $4,000 tax credit for hiring the long-term unemployed.

If Congress won't act on civil rights, someone has to. And President Obama knows that he is someone who can.

The Counseling Corner

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

Overcoming shame (Week 1) "But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead."

- Philippians 3:13 At some point in your life you have probably heard the phrase “You should be ashamed of yourself.”

But what does it mean to be ashamed? How can you tell if you are experiencing shame and where does it come from? Can you heal from shame? How is shame different from guilt? These are all very good questions, but they are not easy to answer because the experience of shame is so very complicated. Why? Dr. Mary C. Lamia, Ph.D., says it is because as a self-conscious emotion, shame informs you of an internal state of inadequacy, unworthiness, dishonor or regret about which others may or may not be aware.

(Psychology Today, April 2011).

While complicated, people can and do recover from experiencing shame. This month, we will be addressing the issue of shame, its effects and how to shatter the shackles of shame.

First let’s address the dif-

ference between guilt and shame. While these words are often used interchangeably, there is a difference. According to dictionary.com, guilt is a feeling of responsibility or remorse for some offense, crime, wrong, etc., whether real or imagined.

Shame is the painful feeling arising from the consciousness of something dishonorable, improper, ridiculous, etc., done by oneself or another. If these definitions have confused you, permit me to offer a real life example.

A woman confided in me that she said something very hurtful to another person in a meeting at church. In fact, she confessed on some level, she intended her words to sting. She admitted when she learned the purpose for the meeting was to give everyone in the group an opportunity to say what they didn’t like about this particular person whom she also envied; she joined in the character assassination. Afterwards, she felt guilty because she recognized immediately that her comments had hurt the other person very deeply. What was perhaps more painful is she

felt ashamed that she allowed herself to be reduced to the sort of person that acted in such a vicious manner towards another. It was the feelings of guilt this woman felt as a result of inflicting pain on somebody else; but it was the feelings of shame she felt in relation to herself.

Terribly ashamed by her actions, this woman asked God for forgiveness and also went to the person she offended and asked for forgiveness.

Why am I addressing this subject? Everyone at some point experiences a certain amount of shame and regret over sins committed in their past. According to S. Michael Houdmann, in an article titled: “What Does the

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."

“Discover Your Abundant Faith”

Bible Say About Shame and Regret,” Houdmann gives several examples of shame expressed or implied in the Bible. While there are many biblical examples, the shame and regret experienced by the Apostle Peter is worth noting because Peter’s experiences is more than a good story, but it hits to the core of shame, regret and reconciliation.

In short, Peter promised he would never deny Jesus. Jesus responded by telling Peter on that very night Peter would deny three times even knowing Jesus. As foretold by Jesus, in John 18:1527, Peter denies ever knowing Jesus. (See also Matthew 26:31-35, 69-75). After Peter’s denial of the Christ that night, and after receiving forgiveness, we see him grow in his faith, and eventually becoming one of the founding fathers of the early church in Jerusalem. He did indeed “strengthen his brothers” after turning back to Christ.

(See Luke 22:32). While Peter must have lived with a lot of shame and regret over his public denial of Christ, Peter’s deepened understanding of the person and work

of Christ overcame his emotions and feelings of failure.

Peter realized if Christ would not hold anything against him, neither should he hold anything against himself.

Beloved, if what is causing you shame is an issue you feel God will not forgive; know that nothing is beyond God’s forgiveness. Once we confess our sins, accept Christ’s sacrifice for our sins on the Cross, and become children of God, we are cleansed from our unrighteousness, and our salvation is eternally secure. (See Colossians 1:1522, John 10:27-30, Hebrews 7:24-25). As believers we are forgiven children of God. Leave your past failures and sins at the Cross and press forward towards the things God has for you.

MICAH holds annual prayer breakfast and King celebration

Staff Photos

Milwaukee Inner City Congregations Allied for Hope(MICAH) held their Annual Prayer Breakfast and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at St. Martin DePorres Catholic Church, which was attended by nearly 200 people. The keynote speaker was Pastor Richard Shaw of St. Matthew CME Church. He offered brief reflections of the civil rights struggles and the many conversations he had with his mother and the joy and sorrow he witnessed in her. She was sorry for the way blacks were treated and the brutal beatings they experienced for wanting to stand up for their rights and against Jim Crow laws. Her joy came about because she was a part of the civil rights movement

and she lived to see her children graduate from a system that rejected her. His mother’s final chapter with the voting rights era culminated in her casting a vote for Barack Obama as America’s first African American president. Pastor Shaw went on to say that too many churches feel they are “an island unto themselves” for they have forgotten about the community where they exist. “They only look at their ministry to put on a list to say what they’re doing…but God calls us to minister to the least among us, which are not only found in third world countries, but right here in Milwaukee.”

Bulletin Board MPS’ Milwaukee French Immersion School celebrates 35 years of success Milwaukee French Immersion School (MFIS), one of MPS’ highly-rated language immersion schools, celebrated its 35th anniversary last week complete with a pep rally and culminating with an open house on Friday, January 24, 2014.

“Milwaukee French Immersion School is one of the many MPS schools providing an opportunity you won’t find anywhere else in this community,” MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton said. “I’m honored to be a part of celebrating 35 years of offering our families this strong school option.”

Students at Milwaukee French Immersion School (MFIS), which serves children from K4 through 5th grade, learn core subjects in the French language and are able to read, write and

speak in both English and French. MFIS students’ language skills serve them well, preparing them for high school and postsecondary education – and expanding the number of career opportunities available to them.

The focus on French doesn’t detract from learning the English language.

In fact, students at MFIS outperform both the MPS and Wisconsin averages in English reading proficiency, according to state test results.

Children need no prior French language experience to enter the school at K4, K5 or 1st grade and once they complete 5th grade, they have the option of continuing their immersion experience along with students from other MPS immersion

schools at MPS’ Milwaukee School of Languages, which serves students in grades 6-12. Milwaukee School of Languages was named one of the best high schools in Wisconsin by U.S. News and World Report in 2012.

MFIS was created 35 years ago as part of MPS’ desegregation efforts, aimed at at-

tracting students from across the city to strong specialty programs that continue today. The school serves a high-performing racially and economically diverse student body.

Prospective families who attended the anniversary events were able to meet current families, staff and lead-

ers and even experienced a language-immersion classroom experience for themselves.

“This is an outstanding opportunity for families to come and see our philosophy of ‘thinking globally and learning locally’ in action," school leader Gina Bianchi said.

Interested families who could not attend the open house are invited to contact Ms. Bianchi at (414) 8748405 and visit the school’s website – mpsmke.com/ mfis – for more information. Prospective families have their best chance of enrolling in their first-choice school during MPS’ ThreeChoice Enrollment period, which runs from February 3-21. Learn more at mpsmke. com/enrollmps.

A new way to earn your college degree is now available More than a year ago, UWM, the University of Wisconsin System and the University of Wisconsin Extension were very excited to announce the UW Flexible Option, a way for students of all ages to earn college credits, certificates and degrees in a more personalized, convenient and affordable way. A lot of work has taken place to make the proposal a reality, and I’m very pleased to report that at the beginning of January 2014, the program is up and running, and the first students have enrolled.

At participating UW System two-year colleges and four-year universities, we see the Flexible Option as an innovative way to deliver courses and content to different populations than those currently reached. Most often, it has been designed for adult, nontraditional students who may have a lot of life experiences and have completed a significant part of their education, but haven’t been able to find the time to complete their schooling.

While the Flexible Option won’t work for everyone, it may be the answer for individuals who are in fields for which the coursework can be done online. Many different fields of study will eventually be offered from multiple

state universities.

Right now, UWM is providing degree options in nursing, health sciences and information studies, and a certificate option in business and technical communication.

We’re very excited about the UW Flexible Option because we recognize that with technology, the ability to deliver course content is much different than it was previously.

Some courses are especially wellsuited to being done in the virtual world. This creates new opportunities for people to go back and complete their degrees or take courses in areas in which they want to gain more expertise.

What’s truly different about the Flexible Option compared to many other online courses is it will allow you to measure your competency in a certain subject area. It may be that a person taking a particular course is not necessarily seeking to complete a degree. A person may just be interested in demonstrating a competency for the purpose of furthering his or her standing at work or in seeking a promotion. Or a person may already have a degree

bachelor’s degree. That compares to a national average of nearly 29 percent and even higher numbers in neighboring states like Illinois (31 percent) and Minnesota (32 percent).

The more people with college degrees we have in our state, the more likely they are to do better economically.

This is shown by the current differences in median household incomes among Wisconsin ($52,627), Illinois ($56,853) and Minnesota ($59,126). All of these statis-

tics are from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The UW Flexible Option is a great pathway for the individuals, estimated at about 750,000 in the State of Wisconsin, who have some college credits but not a degree.

For those who have not been able to find their way back to college in the traditional way, this could be the way.

More information about the UW Flexible Option is available – where else? – online at flex.wisconsin.edu.

I’m really proud that we’re making options available, right here at UWM, for people who believe in the value of a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee degree and the quality of the university’s faculty, but haven’t had the time to make their schedules fit with ours. Students will be able to define their own paths, proceed at their own pace, and take advantage of a support network to select and complete courses.

The potential payoff for the State of Wisconsin is that right now, only about 26 percent of state residents who are 25 or older have at least a

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Seeds of life! (part 4) Nature’s nutrient powerhouse

There are many quotes relating to seeds. However, this one from Genesis reflects the truth of seeds: Seeds are the genesis of life. Every healthy seed contains the spark of life. In our bodies, that “whole, fresh, and lively” vitality is translated into nutrition and energy.

We eat many kinds of seeds. In reality, they are the basis of our food intake, taking the form of beans, cereal grains, pseudo-grains like quinoa and amaranth, nuts, and the small seeds we discuss here. This latter category, small seeds, has been gaining popularity among health conscious eaters over the last decade. The trend began with the popularization of the flaxseed, one of seven seeds covered in a recent issue of Nutrition News.

There is only one reason – besides possible enjoyment – to integrate seeds into your life and that is nutrition. These little dynamos are powerhouses of nutrition. Ounce per ounce, they outdo any other whole food

you could name every time.

Chia seed – Yes, the chia seed appears again, this time as the latest seed darling. Chia seeds come from a flowering plant in the mint family that’s native to Mexico and Guatemala. History suggests it was an important food crop for the Aztecs.

Scientific research on chia apparently rests on the efforts of one man, Wayne Coates, also known as “Mr. Chia.” According to Dr. Coates’ blog, chia contains the highest plant content of omega-3 fatty acids. Like the other seeds, chia seed stabilizes blood sugar and contributes to healthy blood profiles, lowering heart disease risk.

In an article on HuffingtonPost.com, Coates recommends one add chia seeds to everything, commenting that, unlike flaxseed, chia seeds don’t need to be ground to impart their nutritional riches. Based on my experience, I suggest you either grind or soak them before eating. In my opinion,

one would have to have the digestive system of a bird to get the nutritional sizzle from these tiny seeds.

The editor of www.rawreform.com agrees with me, supplying a recipe for the basic chia gel. Add 1/3 cup seeds to 2 cups of water. Stir the mixture well to avoid clumping. As with flaxseed, the gel will form in about 10 minutes. It will stay good for about three weeks. To use the seeds in smoothies, one can set up the gel in juice or non-dairy milk.

Pumpkin seed – Called pepitas in the Southwest, where they are native, these little gems are the up and coming seeds. They are the answer to using those seeds scraped from the Halloween

jack-o-lantern. The nutrient content of pumpkin seeds makes eating them desirable for everybody.

Known for their support of the prostate gland (possibly because of their zinc and vitamin E content), they have a salutary effect on the urinary tract. The German Commission E has approved their use for bed wetting, irritable bladder, and the urine-drippling of prostate enlargement. The Australian website, www.pumpkinseed. net, reports two trials in which eating pumpkin seeds as a snack helped prevent the most common types of kidney stones, possibly by reducing substances in urine that instigate this problem.

Pumpkin seeds also contain phytoestrogens, which are especially rich in the seed oil. In a small study published in Climacteric (May 5, 2011), postmenopausal women showed significantly heightened levels of HDL (good) cholesterol after 12 weeks of a mere 2 grams daily of pumpkin seed oil (about ½

t.) Again, this also supports heart health.

Pepitos contain a wide variety of antioxidants and a generous amount of minerals. Although most research has taken place with animal models (usual with whole food research), evidence points to pumpkin seeds, extracts, and oils to improve insulin regulation in diabetic animals and to have a protective effect on their kidneys.

Uniquely, pumpkin seed lignans have anti-fungal and antiviral properties. They are widely used to expel various types of intestinal worms.

Experts say, adults with diabetes need a flu shots

Large Canadian study finds people with diabetes are more likely to get sick from flu, be hospitalized Adults with diabetes are vulnerable to flu and its complications, experts say. Now a large new study finds they’re also at higher risk of being hospitalized for flu.

The study, which focused on people aged 18 to 64, provides support for guidelines advising people with diabetes to get a flu shot, the Canadian researchers said.

“Working-age adults with diabetes appear to have an increased risk of being hospitalized associated with influenza compared to similar-aged adults without diabetes,” said lead researcher Jeffrey Johnson.

“This increased risk is small (6 percent), but nonetheless is justification for targeting adults with diabetes to get

vaccinated,” said Johnson, director of the Alliance for Canadian Health Outcomes Research in Diabetes at the University of Alberta.

People with diabetes were more likely to get flu shots than people without the disease, the study showed. Even so, people with diabetes had 6 percent greater odds of being hospitalized for flu than those without diabetes.

For Johnson, one important question remains unanswered: Just how effective is the vaccine in preventing people with diabetes from getting the flu?

“That piece of evidence is still not clear, and was not part of this study,” he said.

“The current evidence of this is very weak [and has]

well, another expert said.

The recommendation in the United States is that everyone 6 months and older get a flu shot, said Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the department of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of

many limitations, so we actually don’t know how well."

The report was published Jan. 24 in the journal Diabetologia.

Flu shots are recommended for the general public as

Medicine.

This is especially important for people at risk for complications from flu, including people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart or lung disease, and pregnant women, he said.

'A Midnight Cry' sheds light on darkness of slavery

By Jacquelyn D. Heath Special to The Milwaukee Times Imagine yourself as a 17-year-old African American girl in 1850s slave-state Missouri.

All you've known your whole life is hard work, meager provisions, brutal beatings, and the fear of being sold away from your family at the whim of your master.

In the face of these horrors, you've heard of something called freedom and a railroad that can take you there. Your curiosity about it and yearning for it are beginning to get the better of you.

'A Midnight Cry' tells the story of a young slave girl's journey to freedom on the Underground Railroad.

The two-act play, written by James DeVita, is inspired by the true story of Caroline Quarlls- who escaped slavery, found her way to Wisconsin and Milwaukee, moved on to Detroit, and eventually, into Canada, Toronto and freedom.

The first act focuses on main character Lida June Anderson's life as a slave.

We see her hard at work and interacting with her family-

which includes her mother, younger sister, and a father who had tried to escape, but was caught and beaten so severely he was rendered crippled for life. Lida and her Uncle Eli share a secret.

Both of them have learned to read and write - skills that, if the master found out, could cause a slave to be beaten, or worse, sold off.

The master's decision to sell Lida' s sister Keeley leads to a confrontation in which Lida stabs the plantation overseer. After withstanding a brutal flogging, Lida feels that she will be sold, too, and decides to escape. With the help of her Uncle Eli, Lida connects with the Under-

ground Railroad.

A perilous journey and life in free Wisconsin is the focus of Act Two. Lida takes on a new name and is sheltered by a family of free blacks, a white minister and a shopkeeper, all "conductors" on the Underground Railroad.

For a time, Lida is safe and learns to live as a free black woman. But the threat of being discovered and returned back to bondage remains ever-present. After all, these were the days of the Fugitive Slave Law, a federal statute that Wisconsin vigorously resisted, but still kept runaway slaves and their protectors wary.

A slip of the tongue leads

to Lida' s discovery and she is forced to flee again, slave catchers hot on her heels.

Whether she avoids capture and ultimately makes it to freedom takes us the end of the play.

'A Midnight Cry' uses simple scenery and symbolism to tell the story. Plain, weather-worn wooden platforms in various shapes depict the auction block where human beings were traded for cash like commodities; the primitive cabins where the slaves lived; the various devices used to convey fugitives on the Railroad; and the North Star and its guiding light to freedom.

Powerful performances were delivered by the cast, including Malkia Stampley (Lida), Marvette Knight (Mama), Michael A. Torrey (Papa), Gavin Lawrence (Uncle Eli), and Todd Denning (the overseer/slave bounty hunter). A troupe of local youth actors performs well as The Hope Cast (depicting Lida's slave world) and The Freedom Cast (Lida in freedom). Music, directed and arranged by the team of Josh Schmidt, Sheri Williams Pannell and percussionist Jahmes

Tony Finlayson, helps create atmosphere and advance the storyline in the form of sung spirituals and anthems, and instrumental accents from drums, banjos and harmonicas.

Perhaps the most riveting scene of the play is Lida's flogging, in which the overseer wields an actual whip onstage. The whip's cracking sound and Lida's screams left many in the audience wincing, sharing her pain.

The scene reinforces the savage inhumanity of slavery as an institution and a particularly shameful episode in America's history. Kudos to playwright James DeVita and director Jeff Frank for bringing this poignant tale to life onstage.

First Stage's 'A Midnight Cry' continues weekends through Sunday, February 9, 2014 with matinee and evening performances at the Todd Wehr Theater in the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, 929 N. Water St., Milwaukee. Tickets are available online at www.firststage.org; by phone at (414) 273-7206; or in person at the Marcus Center Box Office.

First Stage play inspired by escaped slave is viewed by descendant

By Don Edward Pannell Kimberly Simmons, a descendant of an escaped slave, was invited to Milwaukee in 2003 to view the First Stage play 'A Midnight Cry' which was inspired by the life of her great-great-great grandmother Caroline Quarlls. Ms. Simmons, of Detroit, MI is president and executive director of the Detroit River Project. The Michigan nonprofit is considered an organization of research, preservation and programming, with the intent and mission to forward the legacy and the enlightenment of that piece of American history, (not African American history) known as the Underground Railroad. The movement has been historically known as the beginning of the civil rights movement in the United States.

Ms. Simmons was in Milwaukee recently to view a new rendition of the play.

While she enjoyed her time here during the initial presentation of 'A Midnight Cry,' she states, “The new play has matured and the music content is amazing.” When asked if the experiences and accomplishments of Ms. Quarlls with the Underground Railroad influenced what she would do in her life, Ms. Simmons responded by saying she gets asked that question a lot. “When you are born of an Underground Railroad descendant it is something that you know and it is talked about a

lot in the family. That phenomenon-- that network of people which became known as the ‘Underground Railroad’ lets you know you are born of greatness but you really don’t understand it until you research what it is about.

The story of my ancestor, my great-great-great grandmother Caroline Quarlls, was like any story you hear bits and pieces of about grandparents. The stories don’t necessarily sound like big stories or sound so brave until you put them in the context of what the Underground Railroad actually was. The family story then becomes stories of courage and you begin to realize the heroics it took for someone to decide to take their own freedom. They chose to do it in a way that would expose them to a definite fear and much danger or could possibly mean death. Your family story you just took for fact suddenly becomes much bigger than what it was or what you perceived it as.”

When asked what goal she is pursuing for the advancement of the Underground Railroad, Ms. Simmons had a definitive and palpable answer. “The Underground Railroad itself will never be totally opened like an open book because it was a secret.

There are things that will never be known and people that will never be known due to that secrecy. My goal is to expose as much as possible, to show the courage, to (Continued on pg. 18)

First Stage play is viewed by descendant (Continued from pg. 16) enlighten those of us that are here now. As the saying goes…'you are destined to repeat history if you don’t know it'—that means good and bad. So the goal of the Detroit River Project is to expose this piece of American history to allow others to learn more about it truthfully. Because it is so secretive, though, there is much documentation, a lot of the information is made up. Unfortunately this has much to do with the African American experience. Some people attempted to fill in the gaps with poetic license.” Ms. Simmons states there are many myths about this history that need to be “…laid bare.”

That, according to Ms Simmons is the intent of the Detroit River Project. “Because we don’t have all the pieces, we continue to make them up and it is time to stop doing that.” When asked about the quilt representing the direction of escape for the runaway slaves, Ms. Simmons was quite adamant in her rebuttal of this myth. “That is a complete fabrication! You don’t want to look at a descendant and start down the road with the quilts.” Ms. Simmons revealed the origin of that particular misinformation. “That was a story created when a woman came down from the North looking to fill in some gaps. She found the right woman, a Gullah Geechee who was a quilter and an educator. Mrs. (Ozella) Williams gave the young lady, a writer named Jackie (Jacqueline) Tobin, a story that described what would make a bigger story, a fabricated vision! Now if you think about it, the fact that you could advertise your involvement with the illegal action of supporting the Underground Railroad by displaying a quilt would be like advertising you are selling weed! You could be living next door to someone who was a part of it and not know it!” Ms. Simmons explained that without the use of communication such as cell phones, how could information get passed on to follow a quilt with the symbol of a bird? “It is totally illogical! We have to think, not just to try and make a big scrap-

ing wonderful story.”

“There are many myths about the Underground Railroad but the biggest myth behind the escape is Black people did not liberate themselves!” Through Ms. Simmons' research, she discovered only ten percent of escapes were facilitated by non-Blacks or non-enslaved.

“Ninety percent of escapees were self-emancipated.

So that is a bigger myth that needs to be disspelled.”

Although inspired by the life of her great-great-great grandmother, Ms. Simmons stated she enjoyed the “more mature” version of the production and was glad to do the talkbacks at performance end. Thankfully, First Stage and 'A Midnight Cry' did not offend Ms. Simmons, nor did it add to the myths and misinformation obtained over the years.
