Rock the vote, then trust the outcome By Urban Media News Staff In an election season marked by outrageous, never heard before attacks not just between the candidates – but on communities of color, women and the disabled – recent assaults on the very integrity of elections and vote counting is perhaps the most dangerous to the future of our democracy. Claims of a rigged election and a global conspiracy are, of course, nonsense. The seemingly unhinged ranting and raving is coming from the candidate widely viewed to be losing. But make no mistake, there is a very intentional strategy afoot here: to persuade you, the voter, that your vote will not count. Nothing could be further from the truth. The next time you hear an assault on our elections, ask yourself, why? The answer is simple; someone wants you to stay home and waive your right to be heard. Don’t let anyone convince you that your vote doesn’t matter, or does not count. Recently, Chris Ashby, a Republican election attorney, spelled out in great detail why claims of a rigged election are absurd on their face. The
following are Mr. Ashby’s words from an online essay explaining the multi-faceted checks and balances which protect the integrity of your vote. “To begin, American elections are held in public places — in open rooms such as cafeterias, gymnasiums, community centers and other event spaces — and in plain view of all assembled. There are no back rooms, secret doors or hidden hallways. Ballots, voting machines and other election materials and equipment come into the polling place under locks and seals, remain in the room throughout the day, and are not removed until the election is over, when they are again locked and sealed against tampering. “Second, private citizens — not government bureaucrats — serve as the 'clerks,' 'inspectors,' 'officers' or other election officials who run our polling places and conduct the voting. They check voters in, confirm their IDs in states where IDs are required, and keep detailed records about the election. “Importantly, most state laws permit local political parties to appoint or nominate these officials, and re-
quire a roughly even partisan balance between them. “Next, our elections are conducted on equipment that has been tested, in a public proceeding, that is observed by party and candidate representatives. Following testing, voting equipment is locked and tamper-sealed, and then keys to the voting equipment are locked and sealed separately. “On top of that, voting machines are equipped with multiple interconnected counters that make it impossible to add or remove votes secretly. The counter tabulations are recorded each time the machine doors are opened, and candidate and party representatives get to observe and cross-check those counters — at testing, before polls open and after they close. “When voting is complete, election officials count votes and tally results. Candidate and party representatives observe this process, too.
Following the election, there is a public canvass at which the election night results are redetermined, to make sure that we got it right. “This canvass is a public proceeding that is conducted by the same ordinary citizens who ran the election, drawn again from the lists of appointments or nominations provided by local political party officials. And just as on Election Day, these representatives can observe the work of the canvass officials and object to errors and improper procedures. “Throughout this entire process, the election officials keep detailed records — who voted, when (early, absentee or Election Day), where (by mail or in person), and how (on paper, by optical scan ballot, or on a touchscreen), and how many people voted overall. After the election, these records are open to public inspection. Anyone who knows what they’re doing can reconstruct the entire election and reveal any errors and irregularities that — despite all of these safeguards, checks and double-checks — slipped through the process. “So the election is not rigged. In fact, it’s an-
ti-rigged. To rig an election, you would need: (1) technological capabilities that exist only in Mission Impossible movies, plus (2) the cooperation of the Republicans and Democrats who are serving as the polling place’s election officials, plus (3) the blind eyes of the partisan pollwatchers who are standing over their shoulders, plus (4) the cooperation of another set of Republicans and Democrats — the officials at the post-elections canvass, plus (5) the blind eyes of the canvass watchers, too. Then you’d still have to jedi-mind-trick lawyers, political operatives and state election administrators, all of whom scrub precinct-level returns for aberrant election results, and scrutinize any polling place result that is not in line with what they would have expected, based on current political dynamics and historical election results.” Do not let anyone tell you that your vote won’t count or that our elections are rigged. Do your civic duty and vote.

Rebuilding Our Community
By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special to the Milwaukee Times
What’s the point? Nothing is more liberating than learning the truth about something that has been portrayed as something totally different. It is shocking at first, hard to digest or get your mind wrapped around the idea of what you have learned. But as time passes and more details emerge, a light of reason appears and what now stands are only the facts and they speak for themselves. With this “new revelation” of news we see that so many people who once jumped at the chance to react negatively, have now grown silent and faded away. It is quiet incredible that so many people get caught up
in the emotions of an event, that they don’t see or think things through. This just does not occur at the grass root level of our society; it also occurs at each level of our political system, government and private sector. This is the inability to “see the forest for the trees.” Sometimes we get too involved in the details of a problem and are not able to look at the situation as a whole. In other words, we are so close to the situation that we can’t see a way out or listen to other ideas. Remarkably, there is always a need to take a step back and
gain some perspective. Of course there are others who simply do not care about gaining some perspective or involving others in the process to find the best way forward. They are only interested in getting things done their way or the high-
way. They work to find ways to circumvent the system, leave others out of the loop or to go at it alone. Their interest is always a personal agenda and believe they have the right to do what they do. But what is so troubling about it all, is the fact that so much is at stake when other lives are affected. For nothing good can come from decisions done in a vacuum and when there is a disregard of input from other stakeholders. What is needed these days are people with interpersonal skills that not only listen, understand,

Let others keep their problems Problems are something everyone on the planet has. There are a limitless number of problems the average person deals with daily. Yet, for some reason human beings tend to adopt other people’s problems. The act of picking up other people’s
problems is sheer lunacy. It’s great to love others, but let them keep their problems to themselves. The act of picking up other people’s problems starts early in life. In some instances this first takes place when Mommy and Daddy have

in public. Not only does the person on the other end of the call have to listen, the innocent public has to also. Also keep in mind the cellphone has apps, like Snapchat and Twitter to keep the problems flowing.
a disagreement. The child will find either parent upset and ask what is wrong. That question is a loaded stick of dynamite. By asking what is wrong, even if the child doesn’t get an answer, they have picked up the parent’s issue. From there the child wonders what is wrong with the parent and a parental issue inevitably becomes the child’s. Can you see how easy this habit forms? Let’s look at the dating scene. Many people date people with who are walking problem magnets. Everyone knows the person who dates someone who has a plethora of problems. The problems weigh down the person who entered the relationship with none. This is extremely true if children are in the equation. There is nothing wrong with dating someone with children. Be prepared to share some of the burden from the child in some form or fashion. Another way people lose themselves in problems is social media. All you have
to do is log onto anyone’s Facebook account to see several examples. Facebook has every type of problem you could imagine. From prayer requests to the rant about jobs status; you want a problem, Facebook has it. The crazy thing is, people eat up the problems constantly. If you want to get Facebook responses, say you are mad about an issue you are having. The long lost uncle in China will be posting solutions to your page. The number of friend requests you have will increase exponentially. The cellphone is the number one problem transfer tool. In the history of mankind there has never been a device that enables problems to thrive like the cellphone. The cellphone enables a person to continuously talk to somebody all the time. This enables a person to pass their problem to anyone who will listen while working, driving, eating and sometimes sleeping. Everyone has seen a person yacking it up about their issues on a cellphone
Television is another medium that serves up problems to the thirsty masses. How many people were outraged over the issues in North Carolina? If you don’t reside in North Carolina why do you care? I know, I know, it may happen to you or your family. It is true, police brutality can happen at any time. Is worrying about police brutality that took place 800 miles away making you sleep better? Once again, you have picked up a problem from someone else. Peace of mind will never come to anyone who is a problem magnet. When someone calls or texts you their problems, ignore. It is great to be the helping person. But, even the helping person needs to help him or herself. Love others but love yourself even more.

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th
Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Week 4) In Part 2 on the topic of Male Breast Cancer, this week, this column will outline some of the risk factors for men as noted by the American Cancer Society. These are: Aging. Aging is an important risk factor for the development of breast cancer in men. The risk of breast cancer goes up as a man ages. On average, men with breast cancer are about 68 years old when they are diagnosed. Family history of breast cancer. Breast cancer risk is increased if other members of the family (blood relatives) have had breast cancer. About 1 out of 5 men with breast cancer have a close relative, male or female, with the disease. Radiation exposure. A man whose chest area has been treated with radiation (such as for the treatment of a cancer in the chest, such as lymphoma) has an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Alcohol. Heavy drinking (of alcoholic beverages) increases the risk of breast cancer in men. This may be because of its effects on the liver.
Liver disease. The liver plays an important role in sex hormone metabolism by making binding proteins that carry the hormones in the blood. These binding proteins affect the hormones' activity. Men with severe liver disease such as cirrhosis have relatively low levels of androgens and higher estrogen levels. They have a higher rate of benign male breast growth (gynecomastia) and also have an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Estrogen treatment. Estrogen-related drugs were once used in hormonal therapy for men with prostate

Wisconsin Jobs Now canvassers help get out the word on early voting
Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper
Community Brainstorming Conference presents the '27th Annual James Howard Baker Awards Celebration'
Photo by Robert Bell
Photo by Clarene Mitchell
Wisconsin Jobs Now's (WJN) canvassers went to the Midtown Center on Monday, October 17, 2016 to cast their early votes, some of them voting for the first time. On a daily basis they knock on hundreds of doors throughout Milwaukee's Northside educating the public about the elections and encouraging voter engagement. Grassroots field campaigns and grassroots organizing have proven to be the most effective way to get people to vote. WJN is urging the Black community to exercise their right and take advantage of early voting. The process at the Midtown Center is quick and easy. Early voting in Milwaukee has been made even more convenient with Saturday and Sunday hours. Wisconsin Jobs Now is offering rides for early voting. People in need of rides to the polls can contact WJN at 414-344-9033 to make arrangements.
On Friday, October 14, 2016, the Community Brainstorming Conference held its 27th Annual James Howard Baker Award Dinner and Celebration at the Radisson Milwaukee North Shore, 7065 N. Port Washington Road. Community Brainstorming hosts a morning breakfast forum on a variety of social topics each month. However, once a year they honor a local community leader with the James Howard Baker Award, named after the local civil rights activist. This year's recipient was Wanda Mongomery of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Pictured at the event are (from left) event M.C. Judge Russell Stamper, Sr.; Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Director of Community Partnerships Wanda J. Montgomery; Congressman and keynote speaker Keith Ellison (D-MN); and Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-WI).

Milwaukee Public Schools no longer required to participate in OSPP Milwaukee Public Schools is no longer required to participate in the Opportunity Schools and Partnership program, according to a letter released on Wednesday, October 12, 2016 by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The letter informed MPS it will not have to participate in the program because the district is no longer in the bottom category in the state school report card. Only school districts in the lowest category of the state report card for two consecutive years are required to participate in OSPP. “While we are energized by the progress we’re making, we still have significant work to do,” said Dr. Driver. “We
are working with students, staff and dozens of community partners to better prepare all of our young people for success, particularly at the secondary school level.” MPS has committed to rethinking high schools by
expanding college-level Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate classes as well as career and technical education offerings. This year, 21 percent of all MPS high school students are taking a college-level
class. The district also added more than 350 students to a culinary arts program as it expands career and technical education options. While the details of the state report card will not be released until next month, MPS’ local STAR assessment data shows growth in student achievement and signs that the district is closing achievement gaps: Literacy is improving across all grade levels. The number of students on target for proficiency in reading improved last year by two percent. Early reading skills increased significantly, with 51 percent of all K5 and 1st grade students on target at the end of the school year,
Statewide data shows improvement; more work needed to prepare all students for success Statewide ACT Readiness Benchmarks results released on Tuesday, October 18, 2016, show the percentage of Milwaukee Public Schools students’ scores on the ACT increased slightly in all four areas of the exam. This is the first time there has been an increase in all four areas since all MPS 11th graders began taking the test in 2009.
North Division High School seeks volunteer tutors The North Division High School Alumni Association is seeking volunteers to tutor students in reading, science and math. Tutoring will take place after school from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. Tutors are asked to commit at least one day per week from February through May. We need assistance from the community in order to help our students succeed. If interested, please contact Helen Harris at (414) 616-3237 or Jim Smith at (414) 267-5101 or at jsmithmiltimes@gmail. com. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
ACT Readiness measures how well students are prepared for college success. The percent of students meeting college readiness was up two percent in reading and science and one percent in English and mathematics. The percentage of students who were college ready in all four areas was up one percent. “We are making progress toward having more MPS students better prepared for college,” said MPS Superintendent Darienne Driver. “While this demonstrates some improvement, the change is incremental and we have much more work to do. As a district, we will continue to aggressively implement strategies designed to improve academic achievement.” MPS is increasing the number of students who are engaged in high-level classwork and offering more opportunities for students to succeed: • The number of students participating in college-level Advanced Placement and/or International Baccalaureate classes is up 40 percent from the 2013-14 school year
• One out of every five MPS high school students is now taking college-level courses • MPS participates in SpringBoard, a rigorous, national Pre-Advanced Placement curriculum designed to increase student participation in AP classes and to improve student success • More than 40 MPS schools participate in Project Lead the Way, a hands-on STEM experience that prepares students for AP course work and STEM careers • MPS will launch a new initiative this month – Breakfast Club: A Saturday Academy – to help MPS high
school students catch up, keep up and get ahead • The district is increasing robust course offerings in career and technical education, expansion of the ProStart culinary arts program, a redesign of the Vincent High School agriculture program and growth of NAF academies in healthcare, technology and business • Working with Milwaukee Area Technical College and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, MPS is launching M³, a collaborative effort to help create a K-16 educational pipeline for students Also released from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction are the results of the Wisconsin Forward Exam, which is administered to elementary students in English Language Arts, mathematics, science and social studies. High school students take the social studies exam. The Wisconsin Forward Exam is the third different state test in three years, due to legislatively required changes. Because there were multiple tests over the past three years, this is considered
compared to only 43 percent on target at the beginning of the school year. “We are heading in the right direction. Our collective focus as a community must be on working together to support our young people,” said MPS Board President Mark Sain. “If we continue to do the right thing for our students, we will not fail.” Last year, the Wisconsin Legislature made changes to the school report card to improve transparency and authenticity. That included weighting school performance to account for student poverty rates, student disabilities and the length of time a school has had to influence a student’s academic progress.
a baseline year for the Wisconsin Forward Exam. “Our test scores remind us our work is far from finished,” said Superintendent Driver. “We continue to focus our energy on implementing our comprehensive strategic plan. This will allow us to execute these efforts with the goal of all MPS students being proficient or advanced.” According to DPI, overall statewide results this year show a general decrease in the number of students considered “proficient” or “advanced.” This does not mean student performance has decreased; it does reflect changes that make the proficiency level more rigorous to reach. MPS is focused on improving student achievement by focusing on these strategic priorities: • Preparing the youngest learners to be readers • Helping elementary school students develop their algebraic skills • Providing all students with additional supports to meet their specific academic and behavioral needs • Redesigning professional development to allow educators to use specific tools to improve school and student outcomes Milwaukee Public Schools is committed to accelerating student achievement, building positive relationships between youth and adults and cultivating leadership at all levels.

Those fitness trackers may not be helping you lose weight, study says
Three side effects of too much apple cider vinegar Many of us already know that apple cider vinegar is great for a number of things. It can do a lot of good inside and outside of your body from your skin to weight loss, etc. But some of us take the healing power of apple cider vinegar a little too literally and take too much of it. Remember that age old saying that “too much of a good thing is bad for you”? Well, it’s true with apple cider vinegar too. Take a look at what happens when you have too much of it. 1. Tooth enamel Too much apple cider vinegar can erode tooth enamel. The acetic acid can damage the enamel on your teeth, making them more susceptible to tooth decay. Diluting the vinegar before use can help, but it’s wise to talk to your dentist before you consume apple cider vinegar. The effects of apple cider vinegar on teeth are particularly significant because people often consume it directly and can drink a considerable amount at a time. For example, in one reported case a teenager was consuming a glass of apple cider vinegar (undiluted) each day, in an effort to lose weight. That behavior resulted in significant damage to her teeth. Research has also indicated that vinegar can lead
to a loss of minerals in teeth, which could contribute to tooth decay. Now, this issue is likely to be most significant when you’re drinking the apple cider vinegar straight, especially as vinegar is acidic and fairly harsh on the body. 2. Blood sugar Apple cider vinegar can also have an antiglycemic effect on blood sugar, meaning it can lower glucose levels in the bloodstream. This may benefit the management of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, but people with uncontrolled blood sugar levels could find its use problematic. Blood sugar may drop to the point of diabetic hypoglycemia. This could deprive the brain of glucose, leading to seizures and loss of consciousness. If you have type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance, talk to your doctor before taking apple cider vinegar in any amount.
Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper
3. Loss of potassium The body uses potassium to maintain proper functioning of the nerves and muscles. Without it, problems occur. Apple cider vinegar can adversely interact with your prescription and lead to low potassium levels. Low potassium, medically referred to as hypokalemia, can cause constipation, weakness, muscle cramps and even abnormal heart rhythms. There is one case study where this did occur and the pattern was believed to cause osteoporosis because of the apple cider vinegar leaching minerals from the bones. In this particular case, the amount of apple cider vinegar consumed was excessive (around 250 ml or 8.5 fl oz), which is much more than anybody should be drinking in a day. Furthermore, the patient had been consuming apple cider vinegar at that level for around 6 years. As such, the health issues experienced aren’t likely to happen if you’re just consuming a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar per day.
Don’t be so quick to attribute all of your weight-loss success to that fancy activity tracker keeping up with your every step. In a new study, researchers followed adults who were on a diet and wore their activity trackers for several months. The results showed that those adults lost fewer pounds during that time than adults who didn’t wear the activity monitors. The finding is interesting considering that many people purchase technologies like Fitbits to make sure they’re staying active and eating the right amount of calories to lose weight. Nearly 500 men and women between ages 18 and 35, who were also overweight, participated in the study. Researchers weighed each of them and noted their overall health prior to the experiment. Initially, over six months, the participants stuck to a low-calorie diet and weekly activity regimen that researchers detailed would provide steady weight loss. All of the participants lost weight over those six months. Then, researchers split everyone into two groups – one group kept a daily log on the study website while the other group wore activity monitors on their arms.
Nevertheless, the potential impact of apple cider vinegar on potassium levels is something to be aware of, especially if your potassium levels are likely to be low for any other reason.
Over the course of 18 months, the people who didn’t wear activity trackers were about 13 pounds thinner than before the study. Participants wearing the monitors had, in fact, regained some of the weight they’d lost prior to the experiment. “People may have focused on the technology and forgotten to focus on their behaviors,” said Dr. John Jakicic, the study’s lead author. Technology is here to assist us, but not take over our responsibilities for us. The study showed that activity trackers aren’t the one-stop solution to weight-loss. They are simply there to assist. But without behavioral changes, such as exercising more and eating healthier meals, the tracker won’t lead to any changes. “What these results say to me is that we still have a great deal to learn,” Dr. Jakicic said. Technology isn’t going to do the work for us.

Wealth Building
Wednesday, October 26, 2016
By Nathaniel Sillin Director of Visa’s financial education programs
Stay warm, save energy and lower your utility bill this winter Do you turn the thermostat a notch higher or put on an extra sweater when it gets cold? It's a common household debate as family members try to maintain a balance between comfort and savings during the winter. It's also a debate you may be able to put to rest by investing in energy-saving maintenance and upgrades. You can start with a home energy audit, an inspection that focuses on finding areas where your home wastes
energy. Professional auditors can cost $300 to $800 depending on the type of audit, but you could consider tackling an audit and some of the changes yourself. Doing so could make your home more comfortable, lower your ecological footprint and save energy and money. See if you qualify for state-funded weatherization assistance. Look into statebased financial assistance programs before going at it alone. Contact your state's

weatherization agency to review eligibility guidelines, find a local service provider and start an application. If approved, you could receive a professional energy audit and improvements. On average, about $4,000 worth of energy saving-related work was completed over one or two days for the 2015 program year. If you can't or don't want to pay for a professional audit and don't qualify for assistance, consider conducting a do-it-yourself (DIY) audit. A DIY energy audit can help you identify ways to save money and stay warm. A thorough inspection of your home can uncover opportunities for improvement, and you be able to rent an infrared camera to help you spot trouble areas. Look over the DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's guide to conducting a DIY home energy audit, and create a log of your findings as you go. Keep in mind, where you live can impact what fixes you want to focus on, the type and amount of insulation you'll need and even your heating system. Typical trouble spots and simple solutions. The following are common trouble spots and potential improvement you might want to make. • Keep the cold outside air out. The DOE estimates that you can save 5 to as much as 30 percent on your energy bill by just reducing drafts. Check for leaks around your doors, windows, plumbing, cabinets and other potential outlets. Also look for dirty spots on your wall, ceiling and floors as that could indicate air or moisture is getting in. Use foam sealant to fill in large gaps you find and caulking or weather stripping for smaller leaks. Covering drafty windows and doorways with storm windows or doors could also be a worthwhile investment. • Consider adding more insulation. The insulation in your walls and ceiling may not meet today's recommendations. Reinsulating or supplementing what you have could help your home stay warm, or cool, and might not be as difficult as you imagine in easy-to-access attics or basements. However, you may want to check with a professional who can recommend what type of insulation to use and warn you of potential ventilation, fire or moisture hazards during and after installation.

Staying warm (Continued from pg. 13) • Regularly inspect your heating systems. Heating systems can cost thousands of dollars to replace. While it may not be a DIY job, you may be able to prolong your system's life by hiring a professional HVAC contractor to inspect and tune up your system before each winter. Some utilities also offer free in-home inspections of gas appliances. A job you can take on is checking the air filter and replacing it to the manufacturer's specifications or when it looks dirty. You could also check for, and seal, holes, leaks and poor connections in the ducts. • Weigh the costs and benefits before investing your time or money in a winterization project. Some of the items on your checklist could be no-brainers, but others might require more thought. Bottom line: A home energy audit can help you identify ways to improve your energy efficiency and make your home more comfortable. Whether you hire professionals, apply for government assistance or do it yourself, preparing before winter hits means you can enjoy a warm home without stressing over the energy bill.
