State Senator Lena Taylor opened the monthly Community Brainstorming Conference and Breakfast panel discussion Saturday, October 24, 2015 at St. Matthew CME Church, 2944 N. 9th St. The topic of the discussion was “Addressing Re-entry for Ex-offenders in Wisconsin.”

By Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times Milwaukee is the pilot city for an innovative program designed to change the Department of Corrections from an institution where individuals are punished to a place where inmates receive job training and counseling, so that when the person is released, they will be less likely to re-offend after release.

Wisconsin still has a long way to go, said state Senator Lena C. Taylor. “But we’re making progress.”

Senator Taylor was one of five panelists for the monthly Community Brainstorming Conference and breakfast on October 24 at St. Matthew CME Church, 2944 N. 9th St. The theme of the discussion was “Addressing Re-entry for Ex-offenders in Wisconsin.”

Milwaukee receives $14.2 million grant for streetcar expansion Mayor Tom Barrett, Senator Tammy Baldwin and Congresswoman Gwen Moore announced Monday, October 26, 2015 that the U.S. Dept. of Transportation had awarded the City of Milwaukee a $14.2 million grant to enable construction of the Milwaukee Streetcars Lakefront Line.

Mayor Barrett and the Common Council approved the Lakefront Line and the Milwaukee Streetcar’s Phase 1 route in February. The Lakefront Line will connect Cathedral Square to the Lakefront using Milwaukee, Broadway, Michigan and Clybourne streets. It will link to the planned $122 million, 44-story lakefront Couture development and will include a streetcar stop.

The announcement further enhances downtown Mil-

waukee’s economic renaissance which includes $2.6 billion of public and private investment since 2005, and another $2.4 billion under construction or planning.

Mayor Barrett thanked the many business and community leaders who submitted letters in support of the grant.

“Economic mobility is

vital to our city’s future,” Congresswoman Moore said.

“That’s why I’ve dedicated so much time and effort in securing this multi-million [dollar] federal grant for the Milwaukee streetcar project.

With this funding, we can expand our city’s public transportation options while fostering local economic growth and development. I’d like to thank Mayor Barrett for his continued efforts to help Milwaukee reach its full economic potential through this streetcar project.”

Re-entry for ex-offenders (Continued from pg. 1) “We want them released with new skills so they can find employment instead of returning to crime,” she said.

“We are using evidence-based practices throughout an individual’s sentence.”

Dr. Jackson said that since January 1,500 individuals have been released with housing, access to health care and assistance with responsibilities such as opening a checking account already in place.

Until two years ago when supervision was transferred from the sheriff, the County Jail resembled a military barracks complete with bullhorns, said Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. In the last two years, inmates have access to education and work opportunities. Access to mental health services and the food have also improved, he said, adding he had attended graduation ceremonies where inmates received their GED, and were visibly emotional about having achieved that milestone.

Abele said offenders released since the changes have been implemented are much less likely to re-offend.

The County Jail also has a job center where inmates can search for work, according to

Thursday, October 29, 2015

Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board President and CEO Earl Buford. He said his job was to set up apprenticeship programs for inmates with cooperative employers. The inmate learns new skills while serving his or her sentence. Upon release they have a job that pays a living wage waiting for them, he said; adding that Milwaukee is the only urban city currently participating in this pilot project.

The new approach has required parole officers to change the way they serve ex-offenders, said Wisconsin Department of Corrections Region 3 Division of Community Corrections Chief Neil Thoreson. He said as a new parole agent he learned how to file forms, but he did not receive training in empathy or communicating with ex-offenders. “I expect my agents to have a different sort of interaction other than ‘you’re a problem’. We don’t want to put people in a situation where they are likely to fail.”

"What is happening in Milwaukee is recognized nationally as a model,” said Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Noting that the audience included a number of judges running for re-election, members of the city council, county supervisors, state Representative LaTonya Johnson and other elected officials, Mayor Barrett said the new approach enjoyed

Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections Reentry Director Dr. Sylvia Jackson (right), Milwaukee Area Workforce and Investment Board President Earl Buford, Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections Region 3 District Chief Neil Thoreson, and Milwaukee County District Attorney John T. Chisholm at the Community Brainstorming and Breakfast Forum on Addressing Re-entry for Ex-offenders in Wisconsin panel discussion held October 24 at St. Matthew CME Church, 2944 N. 9th St. widespread bipartisan support.

“This is a new vision of what public safety means,” said Milwaukee County District Attorney John T. Chisholm. “The old system of increasing incarceration is no longer sustainable.”

A large number of individuals lined up to question the panel. One of the first was a parole officer who said she had been paying for a hotel

room out of her funds for a man who was released last week after serving a 15-year sentence for a sexual offense.

She challenged Mayor Barrett to defend a controversial law recently passed in Milwaukee which effectively left sexual offenders with no place to live.

Mayor Barrett said the law was passed because other municipalities in Milwaukee County had already passed

similar laws leaving Milwaukee to provide housing for all sexual offenders who had been convicted of a sexual offense in Milwaukee County. Mayor Barrett said he would try to work with the parole agent and her client.

“If the offense was committed in Milwaukee they should come back to Milwaukee,” he said, “but we’re not going to become the dumping ground for county sex offenders.”

African American children disproportionately represented in foster care system

By Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times (Editor’s note: This article is another in a series of articles undertaken by The Milwaukee Times to explain how foster care decisions are made and offer advice on how parents can educate themselves and the options available to them before and during foster care proceedings begin.)

When the state has a child removed from the home, parents are entitled to request a jury trial at the initial custody hearing, according to Fresh Start Family Services Executive Director Jermaine Reed, who said that Wisconsin was one of just five states offering the option.

Evidence exists that children whose parents have gone through the jury trial system remain in the foster care system for a shorter length of time than those who don’t, Reed said.

“If they don’t opt for a jury trial the state assumes the parents have already voluntarily waived their parental rights,” Reed said. “Parents often unknowingly give away their rights. Adoption is much more likely if the jury trial model is not used. The public is not well informed.”

Based on population dewww.milwaukeetimesnews.com

or friends who could care for the child, Reed said. “Give a copy of that list to the CPS agent. It is also important to request the jury trial and then to prepare for the court hearing which is typically a week or two later. The third thing is to document everything. If possible and legal, video tape any conversations with CPS. Make sure to maintain a paper trail of communication.”

Reed also recommends retaining a lawyer. If the parent cannot afford a lawyer the state will appoint one.

“If you do not have a good relationship with your court appointed lawyer, request that the court appoint someStaff Photos one else,” Reed said. “Reach Fresh Start Family Service Executive Director Jer- out and find out where you maine Reed being interviewed in the conference can get information and free legal services.

Reed said a discussion about the causes for the racial disparity in foster care is long overdue. In the meantime he recommends three things African American parents might want to consider preparing ahead of time.

“If a child is detained by Child Protective Services

Reed said about 75 percent of the time when a jury trial is requested custody is resolved before trial.

“This is not about escaping justice,” Reed said. “Clearly there are certain conditions where the government is justified in providing intervention.

“The causes for the disproportionate number of black children in the foster care system is rooted in both racism and poverty,” Reed said.

“Also a historical systemic bias exists, but we don’t want to talk about that; but we need to if we want to reduce the disparity.”

Rebuilding Our Community

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special to the Milwaukee

Finding a loophole If you believe that everyone will play by the same rules, obey the same laws and follow the same policies... then you must be living in another world, time or just wishful dreaming. Every day a lot of people, business owners, companies and even those in government are being caught for taking advantage of “loopholes” that exist in rules and laws. Amazingly, some of these “loopholes” have existed for years without anyone taking notice. We can find them in our tax codes, off shore banking, online gambling, gun ownership, voting rights, public policy, health care and insurance policies.

Believe me, finding “loopholes” is not something new in this 21st century, it’s been

an ongoing practice since creation. In nearly everything that has been created for the common good there have always been individuals who look for ways in which to take advantage of the rules for personal gain, power and for profit. In some situations running afoul of the rules, breaking laws, and

finding ways in which to exploit for some is common practice until they are caught.

Of course a “loophole” is defined as an ambiguity or inadequacy in the law or a set of rules. It also can be viewed as an error in the way a law, rule, or contract has been written that makes it all possible to legally avoid

LoveKindness

obeying it at all. Additionally, it may allow for another interpretation of the same rules that yield a different set of outcomes.

The average resident has nothing against forward progress, new rules and well-intended programs that are focused on helping to rebuild neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for all. And that is what most people really want, a fair chance or a balanced playing field in which to achieve success in life and business.

However, the real problem comes when the rules are not followed, exceptions are made, ways are created to skirt around the process, no bid contacts, special treatment is extended and “fa-

voritism is given to a few and is the game of who you know and who knows you”... that matters.

stories regarding kindness so we can share them with others.

Many of us are sports fans at many different levels. We support the teams we follow in many different ways.

While scoring a touchdown is important at the time, only a very few people will ever be remembered for how many touchdowns they scored.

Can you remember who even won the Super Bowl in 1996 or 2001? Yet I am willing to bet you can remember your favorite teacher you had in elementary school! So often we strive to gain something that has no lasting value. I believe we are all aware of what kindness is because we know when we are being treated kindly by others. We often derive our greatest satisfaction by doing kind deeds for others, but we also enjoy being treated kindly.

Perhaps you have received achievement awards and I applaud you for your efforts and for your successes. But, in the final analysis, what will all those awards mean if you have not taken the time and made the effort to be kind to those people you have

In my first column I indicated that we often have difficulty identifying what is important and suggested that we need to think seriously about Kindness. This is not a new challenge because if you look back over history, you will discover that every religion and many self help books stress the importance of personal kindness. Why then do we not see kindness emphasized in the news more often?

Perhaps we are more interested in personal violence and failure than we are in personal acts of kindness and success. The challenge then and now is for all of us as a community to decide we want to change what we consider to be important enough to be newsworthy. Do you Love Kindness? If not, what might it take for you to realize that how you treat others is how you will be remembered?

Have you attempted to do a specific act of kindness each day? If so how has this affected your relationships with others and how you feel about yourself ? We have asked you to send in your

The Counseling Corner

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

Week 1: Alzheimer’s disease awareness November is much more than the month we celebrate Thanksgiving. November is home for several awareness days/months as well as a time to honor our veterans.

This month, in addition to celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday, this column will highlight several awareness days/months, beginning with Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness.

President Ronald Reagan designated the month of November as National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month back in 1983. At the time, fewer than 2 million Americans had Alzheimer's.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association today, the number of people with the disease has soared to nearly 5.4 million and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Alzheimer’s is a disease that attacks the brain and is the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer’s is the only cause of death in the top 10 in America that cannot be prevented, cured or slowed. Since Alzheimer’s is a disease that attacks the brain, the Alzheimer’s Association suggests

ways you can show your brain some love: 1. Exercise Engage in regular cardiovascular exercise that elevates your heart rate and increases blood flow to the brain and body. Several studies have found an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline.

2. Hit the books. Formal education in any stage of life will help reduce your risk of cognitive decline and dementia. For example, take a class at a local college, community center or online.

3. Butt out.

Evidence shows that smoking increases risk of cognitive decline. Quitting smoking can reduce that risk to levels comparable to those who have not smoked.

4. Follow your heart.

Evidence shows that risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke – obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes – negatively impact your cognitive health. Take care of your heart, and your brain just might follow.

5. Heads up!

Brain injury can raise your risk of cognitive decline and

dementia. Wear a seat belt, use a helmet when playing contact sports or riding a bike, and take steps to prevent falls.

6. Fuel up right!

Eat a healthy and balanced diet that is higher in vegetables and fruit to help reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

7. Catch some ZZZZZs. Not getting enough sleep due to conditions like insomnia or sleep apnea may result in problems with memory and thinking.

8. Take care of your mental health.

Some studies link a history of depression with increased risk of cognitive decline, so seek medical treatment if you have symptoms of depression, anxiety or other mental health concerns. Also try to manage stress.

9. Buddy up!

Staying socially engaged may support brain health.

Pursue social activities that are meaningful to you. Find ways to be part of your local community. If you love animals, volunteer at a local shelter. If you enjoy singing, join a local choir or help at an afterschool program. Or just

share activities with friends and family.

10. Stump yourself.

Challenge and activate your mind. Build a piece of furniture. Complete a jigsaw puzzle. Do something artistic. Play card games that make you think strategically.

Challenging your mind may have short- and long-term benefits for your brain.

Beloved, while there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, the mission of the National Alzheimer’s Association is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through advancement of research, to provide enhance care and support for all affected and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.

Quarles & Brady partners with Children's Hospital, First Stage to prevent and stop bullying The national law firm of Quarles & Brady LLP is partnering with Children's Hospital and First Stage Children's Theater to help educate fourth, fifth, and sixth graders at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School on preventing and stopping bullying.

An event held Wednesday, October 21, 2015 featured an anti-bullying skit—commissioned by Quarles & Brady exclusively for this event—

by First Stage Children's Theater, along with a skit presented by Franklin School fourth graders. Students also received orange bracelets to reinforce the anti-bullying messages they heard during the event.

MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver joined Quarles & Brady to present a Buddy Bench to the school

to help continue its efforts to be a "bully-free zone." The Buddy Bench, which was painted in the school's colors, will help foster friendships on the playground by providing kids with a tool to let their peers know that they want someone to play with.

If a child is feeling lonely or left out, sitting on the Buddy Bench encourages their classmates to ask them to join in on the fun.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and October 21 marked Unity Day, when supporters wore orange to promote acceptance and inclusion, and to support anti-bullying efforts.

This is the third year the firm, through its Quarles Cares community service program, has focused on anti-bullying as one of its national efforts across all of its 10 offic-

es, and the second year the firm's Milwaukee office has worked with the students and staff at Franklin.

"Bullying is an issue in nearly every school and workplace in the country,

and the rise in use of social media has made the problem more prevalent, and fighting it even more critical," said Katherine M. Perhach, Quarles & Brady's Milwaukee office managing partner.

"Our attorneys and staff are committed to helping create a safe, cruelty-free environment for students who will grow up and pass that kindness on to the next generation."

was presented with a trophy Wednesday, October 21, 2015 by reporter Elise Menaker.

Hamilton headed to Oak Creek Friday night for round one of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association football tournament.

Hamilton wasn't the only MPS football team in the tournament with games at 7:00 p.m. Friday night: • Vincent vs. Fond du Lac at Fruith Field • Riverside at Neenah • Morse-Marshall vs. Marquette at Hart Park • Washington vs. King at Custer Stadium • Tech/Carmen at Franklin As part of MPS' Eight Big Ideas, the district is focused on redefining the MPS experience and expanding athletic programming. This serves as a catalyst to develop a community that values and supports interscholastic athletics. A rich and robust district athletic program will contribute to the success of retaining students, parents, alumni groups, and stakeholders engaged with the district. The goal is to increase the number of high school students participating in interscholastic athletics.

For just the third time in school history, the football team from Milwaukee Public Schools' Alexander Hamilton High School has won its conference division title.

“That was one of our goals to start the season,” Head Coach Jake Haskell told TMJ4. “The kids knew it hadn't happened since 1982, so that was the goal and they just kept working hard and eventually we reached our goal. We won it outright last week against Tech, so that was a good feeling.”

The Wildcats, who are part of the Milwaukee City - Richardson division, ended the season with six straight wins.

“We practiced hard, we wanted to win and we set a goal every week and we achieved that goal,” said junior receiver Kevon Williamson. “We wanted to make history at Hamilton.”

“We have a lot of fun on the field with each other, celebrating and just picking each other up from our losses,” said senior wide receiver Matthew Lee-Baker. “It's fun just being out here with them.”

The team was named TMJ4's Football Frenzy Team of the Week and

Pat and Lois’ story “My mom was the type of woman who always liked to be on the go,” said Pat, a 52-year old Milwaukee single mom and foster parent who also cares for her elderly mom, Lois “We would shop together, go for a walk or pick up the grandkids and take them to the lakefront.

That was one of her favorite things to do.” The dynamic of their relationship suddenly changed when Lois was diagnosed with dementia in 2011 and Pat became her full-time caregiver.

Pat is not alone in feeling squeezed. According to the Pew Research Center, just over 1 of every 8 Americans aged 40 to 60 is both raising

a child and caring for a parent. “Taking care of a parent with dementia was a bit of a struggle for me at first,” said Pat “I was in denial my mother was sick, but at the same time I was having to child proof my own home to keep her from getting into things.”

Thirty-five percent of caregivers report having difficulty finding time for one’s self, 29 percent had difficulty balancing work and family responsibilities and 30 percent said they needed help keeping the person they care for safe (National Alliance for Caregiving).

The study used data from the Wisconsin Interscholastic Sports Injury Research Network, which has recruit-

New research shows that limiting the amount of full-contact tackling during high school football practices can have a big impact on reducing the number of concussions among players.

A University of Wisconsin–Madison study examined sports-related concussion rates among Wisconsin high school football players after the state’s interscholastic athletic association limited the amount and duration of full-contact activities during team practices. The rule, which first went into effect for the 2014 season, prohibits full contact during the first week of practice, limits full contact to 75 minutes per week during week 2, and caps it at 60 minutes thereafter. Full contact is defined as drills or game situations

when full tackles are made at a competitive pace and players are taken to the ground.

Findings show that the rate of sports-related concussions sustained during high school football practice was more than twice as high in the two seasons before the rule change as compared to the 2014 season, said Tim McGuine, senior scientist in the department of orthopedics and rehabilitation at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

The study was presented October 24, 2015 at the American Academy of Pediatrics national conference in Washington, DC. “This study confirms what athletic trainers in high-school football have long believed about the association of full-con-

ed and enrolled more than 16,000 adolescent athletes from 103 high schools and sport venues across Wisconsin. They serve as subjects for cross-sectional, cohort and randomized control trials.

The study’s findings suggest that limiting full-contact

high school football practices may be a no-brainer, McGuine said. “Educating high school coaches about limiting the amount of full contact would be an effective and economical way to help protect students from head injuries,” he said.

By Nathaniel Sillin Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Top five money fears – and how to tackle them Are you worried about your financial situation?

For the eighth consecutive year, the American Psychological Association (APA) identified money as the number one stress trigger, with 72 percent of Americans reporting stress about money and nearly 1 in 5 saying they had skipped or considered skipping going to the doctor due to financial concerns. As for relationships, almost one third of adults with partners reported that money is "a major source of conflict."

The following are common money stresses, and tips to tackling them.

You're just one paycheck away from financial disaster. The Corporation for Enterprise Development' recent Assets & Opportunity Scorecard reported that over 40 percent of American households are "liquid asset poor," meaning that they have less than three months of savings to help them ab-

Even if you're only moving across town, it's likely to cost more than you think.

According to the latest figures from the American Moving and Storage Association, the average cost of an in-state professional move – based on 7,570 pounds of stuff – is $1,170. The average state-to-state move costs $5,630.

sorb a financial shock like a lost job, medical emergency or other unforeseen financial expense.

Tip: Build an emergency fund. After learning how to budget (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting), building an emergency fund (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/emergencycalc) is the next essential step in financial planning.

Saving and investing for other goals are equally important, but they should follow the creation and annual review of a healthy emergency fund.

You're lost financially. A 2014 survey by economists from George Washington University and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania states that only 30 percent of Americans could accurately answer three basic personal finance questions dealing with savings and investment returns.

Respondents from other ma-

jor developed countries – including Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and Australia – scored roughly the same.

It's a global problem.

Tip: Identify your biggest financial problems. Does every dime you make go toward paying bills? No savings or investments? No emergency fund? Once you've identified your main money blind spots, get help. Reach out to a trusted friend or relative with good money habits or a qualified financial advisor who can help you see where you stand, establish realistic goals and restart your financial education.

Moving soon? Keep costs under control

How can you control moving expenses? Start making a master checklist to collect data and consider all costs and personal aspects of a potential move. You may even want to include a proand-con list that addresses all conceivable economic and lifestyle outcomes – the real whether the move is worthlong-term costs and benefits while, consider these subseof a move. After deciding quent steps:

www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

You'll never catch up.

Bankrate.com's March Financial Security Index said that nearly half of Americans aren't saving enough for emergencies or retirement. Only a quarter of middle-class households earning between $50,000 and $75,000 were savings champs, putting away more than 15 percent of their income.

Tip: Forget the past and begin today. Start by figuring out where you stand financially. Then address your expenses and whether there's an opportunity to boost your income so you can make up for lost time.

Your money troubles are putting your closest relationships in jeopardy.

Money issues affect all relationships, but couples can be hit the hardest by money secrecy or so-called "financial infidelity."

Tip: Face the music. Get qualified advice, quantify the extent of the problem,

Seek solid advisors. Whether or not you plan to sell a home with a licensed real estate broker or agent, most are open to do a market valuation of your property and suggest repairs or improvements that could maximize a sale price. If you use a qualified financial planner or tax advisor, include that individual in early discussions on how a move might affect your finances. Also, if you're selling property, find an experienced real estate attorney to review broker and sale contracts.

Get multiple estimates from movers. An early walkthrough at your home or apartment by two to three U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-registered movers (http://ai.fmcsa.dot. gov/hhg/search.asp) can provide a reality check on how much you'll want to take and whether you can afford luxuries like packing or storage. Online resources can also help you evaluate those estimates.

Watch for fraud. Recent news reports have highlighted a trend called "hostage load," a practice whereby unscrupulous moving companies demand more money from customers before finishing a delivery. Getting references from trusted friends and advisors is a good first step to finding the right registered mover for your relocation. DOT has launched the "Protect Your Move" (http://www.fmcsa. dot.gov/protect-your-move)

make a plan and share the details face-to-face with loved ones or business partners who need to know. Assume you won't be able to control their response, so focus on solving the problem and vow to end your secretive behavior for good.

You can't face financial paperwork. When you can't face bills, statements and other financial calls or communications, it generally reflects financial uncertainty in some form.

Tip: Get help. Pull the information together and get help if you need to. Put payments and other financial decisions on a paper or digital calendar with reminders to act.

Bottom line: Fear about money issues can affect your health and relationships. Diffuse that stress through education, assistance and positive action to improve your financial future outlook.

site that allows you to download a moving fraud protection guide and offers tips on proper ways to investigate and hire a mover.

Start downsizing – now.

Getting early estimates from movers certainly helps you decide what you're really willing to take. If there are valuables you think you can sell, consult professional appraisers and even general marketplace sources like eBay to get a realistic idea of value. Otherwise, consider garage sales and donations for the rest.

Insure what you're moving. Whatever plans you're making for home or renter's coverage at the new destination, make sure you have proper coverage in place for the contents of your move.

The Insurance Information Institute provides a useful guide (http://www.iii.org/ article/getting-right-insurance-coverage-moving) to properly insuring the possessions you're moving.

Build a cash reserve for deposits, fees and incidentals. Keeping moving costs low can help you handle dozens of smaller and sometimes unexpected expenses that crop up immediately before, during and after a move. Budget for those hidden costs which can include deposits, fees and multiple trips to the discount store, home center or grocery.

Bottom line: Thinking about moving? Give yourself adequate time and resources to plan all aspects of this major life and money event.

Legislation would help workers save now, so they aren’t left high and dry in retirement

By: Lisa Lamkins, Associate State Director -Advocacy AARP Dear Editor, A secure retirement seems like a distant dream for too many Wisconsinites.

Social Security alone isn’t enough to retire on – the average benefit for most Wisconsinites is about $1,300 a month. Across the country, millions of people are at risk of running out of savings after they retire. The nation is facing a vast retirement savings deficit, estimated to be as much as $6.6 trillion.

One of the reasons for this

deficit is the fact that more than 57 million American workers- including nearly 1 million Wisconsinites – have no way to save at work. A study by the National Institute on Retirement Security found that the typical working-age household has only $3,000 in retirement assets and near-retirement households have just $12,000 in savings.

The scary part is that these folks are ahead of the game!

In Wisconsin, 42 percent of workers have no access to retirement savings options.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. We know that people are 1,300 percent more likely to save if they can do so at work.

Wisconsin is one of 30 states considering “work and save” plans to seek a commonsense solution to workbased savings. AARP supports the Wisconsin version, known as the Wisconsin Private Secure Retirement Act. The bill (AB-70 and SB-

45) calls for a public-private partnership which allows workers to save for retirement via payroll deduction at work. These savings plans would be portable, voluntary, and the state isn’t responsible for any gains or losses in the market.

Plus, giving workers a simple way to save now will mean fewer Wisconsinites will rely on government safe-

ty net services in retirement, which in turn saves taxpayer dollars.

The Wisconsin Private Secure Retirement Act is an easy way to give thousands of Wisconsinites access to retirement accounts, empowering them to live their retirement years with independence and financial security.

Unfortunately it’s currently stalled in our state legislature.

AARP urges state lawmakers to schedule a hearing because there’s no time to waste in helping Wisconsinites save for the future!

- Sincerely, Lisa Lamkins Associate State Director-Advocacy AARP Madison, Wisconsin AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, with a membership of more than 37 million, that helps people turn their goals and dreams into real possibilities, strengthens communities and fights for the issues that matter most to families such as health-

Seven safety tips for senior travelers You don't have to stop traveling just because you're getting older. If anything, it's when you are older that travel means more; a lifetime of knowledge allows you to fully appreciate the new experiences you're having. And, if not for travel, what did you work so hard for all those years?

But being older does often mean that you can't travel the way you used to. We're not talking about upgrading from a hostel to a proper hotel. What we're referring to are physical limitations you might need to work around, as well as the fact that as an older individual you've suddenly become numero uno on a thief's hit list.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your belongings.

IndependentTraveler.com reached out to two experts on boomer and senior travel for advice on what older travelers can do to stay safe away from home.

Liz Dahl is the co-founder of boomertravelpatrol.com, a boomer-centric website featuring expert advice from a variety of writers.

Steve Hanson is senior editor of Senior Travel Expert, which provides tips for seniors who like to travel independently. Hanson recently completed a four-week around-the-world trip.

Here is their advice, along with a few of our favorite

tips from the AARP. Get insurance While travel insurance is important for people of any age, it truly is essential for older travelers who are more at risk of falling and hurting themselves, getting sick, or needing extra medication if their travel is interrupted or delayed. "Nothing is worse than to be in a foreign land and find yourself in a situation where you have fallen or run out of medication and not knowing what to do or if you'll be covered," Dahl said.

She added that insurance usually costs an extra $100 - $200, not a lot to guarantee that you'll be covered if something goes wrong.

Don't advertise your absence Though travelers assume hotels are safe places, the truth is that people with bad intentions can come and go

An NCON Communications Publication

quite easily in most hotels.

But a few tactics can help older travelers, who are often seen as better targets, protect their belongings. One tip Dahl offers is this: don't put the "clean my room" sign on your hotel door.

"Those signs are an open invitation to let people know that the room is empty," she said. Thieves know that travelers usually leave their passports, extra money and jewelry in their rooms, and they know how to jimmy open locks. You don't want to advertise that you're not there.

Instead, call the front desk on the way out and let them know you'll be leaving and that they can send someone up to clean the room.

A few other hotel tips recommended by AARP include keeping the security chain on your door locked whenever you're in the room, asking

for a room near the elevator (more foot traffic will deter thieves) and staying away from ground-floor rooms where window entry is possible.

Watch what you eat Like it or not, older folks tend to have more sensitive tummies and are frequently on restricted diets. It's understandable to want to forget those facts while away from home, but doing so could have undesirable side effects.

Forget the days you could eat a plateful of heavy bratwurst in Germany or spicy vindaloo in India. Unless you want to spend more time in your hotel room than out and about, you'll probably want to keep the heavy, spicy or cheesy items to a minimum.

Also, Dahl points out that some medications don't interact well with certain foods.

For instance, you don't want to eat bananas if you're on an ACE inhibitor. If you are taking any medication, call your doctor before you leave for a trip to find out if certain foods popular in your destination are off limits.

Mind your meds Speaking of medicine, Hanson says senior travelers need to take as much care of their medications as they do their money and passports.

Don't pack them in checked luggage, and don't leave them lying in the open in your hotel room. And if you're on a trip that could get delayed,

make sure you've got enough medicine to last you an extra day or two.

Hanson also advises keeping a paper with the names of any essential medicines you take and their dosages so you can try to replace them if needed. If you take a brand-name medication, write down the generic name too. Even better: try to find out the name of the medication in the language of the destination you're traveling to.

Keep the 'Bling' to a minimum One of the perks about getting older is that you can afford things you may not have been able to when you were younger. But buying items like nice jewelry, gold watches and fancy cameras makes you a target for thieves, especially as many ne'er-do-wells believe -- rightly or wrongly -- that older travelers are less aware of their surroundings, more unsteady on their feet and basically all around easier targets. This applies to carrying cash as well. Hanson told IndependentTraveler. com, "Seniors are more likely to carry cash around. And then are more likely to have expensive jewelry and watches than younger travelers."

Unless you're going to Richard Branson's Necker Island, you might want to consider leaving the bling at home. And remember, (Continued on pg. 18) www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Keep others in the loop If you're going to be traveling solo, AARP recommends that you keep others apprised of your daily itinerary, including your innkeeper or hotel concierge. Tell them where you're going and when you expect to be back, then stick to your schedule. Keep a cell phone on you if you're traveling domestically. If

you're going abroad and your own phone won't work overseas, rent a phone once you arrive or buy an international SIM card so you can stay in touch.

Stay safe on your feet Beyond wearing comfortable shoes in order to get through full days of walking and touring, wearing flats will also help older travelers to stay steady on their feet.

Heels, even small ones, can make you more prone to spraining an ankle or falling, Dahl said, especially if you have any balance issues. Flats will help you stay comfortable and steady on your feet.

Bible Scripture for the week from The Book of Psalms O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I will never pray to anyone but you. Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the slightest sin. Therefore, the proud will not be allowed to stand in your presence, for you have all who do evil.

You will destroy those who tell lies. The Lord detests murderers and deceivers. Because of you unfailing love, I can enter your house; with deepest awe I will worship at your Temple. Lead me in the right path, O Lord, or my enemies will conquer me. Tell me clearly what to do, and show me which way to turn. My enemies cannot speak one truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open gate. Their speech is filled with flattery. O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they rebel against you. But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Protect them, so all who love your name may be filled with joy. For you bless the godly, O Lord, surrounding them with your shield of love.

- Psalm 5:1-12 Holy Bible, New Living Translation

I work hard.

I want a savings account that works hard, too.

Today, a secure retirement is out of reach for nearly a million Wisconsinites, especially those who don’t have access to an employer savings plan. You should be in control of your future and that’s why AARP is advocating for the Wisconsin Private Secure Retirement Act. It would give you an easy way to save for the future on your own terms. The plan is independent of an employer and government, so your money stays with you.

Learn more about this commonsense solution to help Wisconsinites retire securely and independently at aarp.org/WI.
