Troy shares the record for the longest interception in Eagles history against the Dallas Cowboys in 1996.

After teammate James Willis intercepted Troy Aikman four yards into the endzone, he ran 14 yards before lateraling to Vincent, who returned the interception 90 yards for a 104yard touchdown.

Troy Vincent would spend the remainder of his pro-football career playing with Buffalo Bills and the Washington Redskins.

During his post career, Troy was president of the NFL Players Association from March 29, 2004 until March 18, 2008. Troy was selected as the Vice President of Active Player

By Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times Michele Obama has put forth the call to help homeless veterans across the country with services to assist them with gaining sustainable employment and housing. Her “challenge” is to address the need to assist homeless veterans in finding housing. The “Challenge” was sent to all mayors to make an impact on this escalating situation affecting so many of our returning veterans in cities all over America.

Mayor Tom Barrett and County Executive Chris Abele both signed the “Challenge.” The “Challenge” also asks that communities get involved as well. At the urging of a family friend, Paulette Christian of P. Christian and Associates, presented

the Taylor family an opportunity to take on the challenge and honor their deceased father, the late Charles Taylor, Sr. Mr. Taylor had built such a legacy in providing rental properties in the city of Milwaukee for years and the patriarch of the family had also served in the U.S. Army.

Taylor family members accepted the “Challenge” and formed the Taylor Group, which is comprised of Mr. Taylor’s wife and their four children.

The first phase of the Taylor Project began and after months of renovating an apartment building on the north side of Milwaukee, the grand opening of Taylor Veterans Memorial Apartments, 4422 N. Teutonia Ave., occurred on what would have been the 85th birthday of the man (Continued on pg. 3)

Participating in a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 the president said the nation is boosting funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs and making progress on longstanding problems such as veteran homelessness and in reducing a backlog of disability claims.

But other problems must still be addressed.

midst of a new wave of veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. He asked communities and businesses to consider hiring veterans as they fill job openings.

He said some 200,000 veterans are returning to civilian life every year.

“They’re ready to serve and they’ll make you proud,” Obama said.

The president laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns and led the remarks at an annual observance intended to honor and thank all who have served in the armed forces.

Earlier in the day, the president had a breakfast reception with veterans and their families in the East Room of the White House.

Veteran's Day: The History of African Americans in the Military

By William S. Gooden Special for the Milwaukee Times If you look at data from a 2012 Department of Defense report, you will find that African Americans are the second largest racial group (after Caucasians) in the United States military. You will also find that minorities serving in commanding officer positions is up across all branches of the military and the numbers are only increasing as the years go by. But it's not just recent history that has seen African Americans in combat, and serving our country as soldiers and as leaders.

The military history of African Americans spans from the arrival of the first black slaves during the colonial history of the United States to the present day. There has been no war fought by or within the United States in which African Americans did not participate, including the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican–American War, the Civil War, the Spanish–American War, the World Wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as other minor conflicts.

The most notable African Americans to serve our country are the Tuskegee Airmen, who served as pilots during World War II and a tumultuous period of segregation in the military. They went on to become leaders in the military and the private sector, leaving an impressive legacy.

Colin Powell, a retired four-star general in the United States Army as well as the 65th United States Secretary of State, served under U.S. President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005. He is the first African American to serve in that position. During his military career, Powell also served as National Security Advisor (1987–1989), as Commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command (1989) and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989–1993), holding the latter position during the Persian Gulf War. He was the first, and so far the only, African American to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and was the first of two consecutive black office-holders to hold the key administration position of U.S. Secretary of State.

Veterans housing project (Continued from pg. 1)

The Tuskegee Airmen currently serves as the 38th Vice Chief of Naval Operations. Prior to that, she served as the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans and Strategy (N3/N5). Howard has achieved many historical firsts throughout her naval career. She was the first African American woman to achieve three star rank and the rank of admiral in the U.S. Navy. She was the first African American woman to command a U.S. Navy ship, the USS Rushmore.

In 2006, she was selected for the rank of rear admiral (lower half), making her the first admiral selected from the U.S. Naval Academy class of 1982 and the first female graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy selected for flag rank. On July 1, 2014, Howard became the first woman to become a four-star admiral. As Vice Chief of Naval Operations, which she began that same day, she is the first African American and the first woman to hold that post.

It is not just as leaders that African Americans have made their mark in the military. Many men and women of color have served their country quietly with duty and honor, returning to civilian life to become leaders in their comunities.

In July, President Barack Obama met with Emma Didlake, the nation's oldest living veteran at 110 years old.

Born in Boligee, AL in 1905, she was a 38-year-old wife and mother of five when she joined the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in 1943.

Making the decision to join the army was a bold move for the veteran from the segregated south, during a period when many women remained at home. During her service, she held the rank of private and served for seven months stateside as a driver.

After the war, Didlake joined the NAACP and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1963,

An NCON Communications Publication

where she received a lifetime achievement award two years ago from the West Bloomfield, Detroit chapter.

Didlake traveled around the world and was proud to earn medals for her military contribution. She earned the Women's Army Corps Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, and World War II Victory Medal.

On Friday, February 27, 2015. The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper honored ten outstanding, local women who have or are currently serving in the five branches of the U.S. military. They were honored as part of our annual Black Excellence Awards. Those five women were Major Michele Carter, U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard; Captain Berdie Cowser, U.S. Army; Staff Sergeant Lisa Cross, U.S. Army Reserve; Master Chief Mary C. Fowlkes, U.S. Coast Guard; Major Dorothy Greer, U.S. Army; Technical Sergeant Linder Jines, U.S. Air Force; Corporal Michelle Lipsey, U.S. Marine Corps; Petty Officer 2nd Class Virdia Ofei, U.S. Navy; Captain Sedoria Outlaw, U.S. Army; and Master Sergeant Barbara Robinson, U.S. Air Force and Army.

Even the Milwaukee Times Newspaper's own founder, Nathan Conyers, served four years in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam era. After his service he returned to civil life to started a career as a journalist, started a family, and become a leader in the African American community of Milwaukee.

Our service men and women of color deserve to be honored, not just on Veteran's Day or during Black History Month, but everyday – for their commitment to their country and community, for taking a stand and protecting all our freedoms and for breaking open doors for African Americans. For they have overcome more than just the hardships of duty or faced in times of war. They have often overcome prejudice and discrimination on a day-to-day basis and still served bravely as defenders of liberty and as leaders in our community. They deserve to be saluted, not just for their contributions to Black history, but to American history. Happy Veteran's Day to all our Vets!

who devoted so much of his life into the properties he owned.

The apartment building has been completely refurbished and units are available specifically to veterans who are under the care of the Veterans Administration.

Individuals attending the grand opening toured the property and viewed before and after pictures of the renovation while enjoying light refreshments.

Steven Mahan, Director of Community Development Grants Administration for the City of Milwaukee, as well as Brigadier General (Ret.) Robert A. Cocroft, President and CEO of Center for Veterans Issues Ltd, were in attendance as well as many VA case managers, veterans, family and friends.

Work on phase two of the Taylor Apartments, which is the adjacent property, is scheduled to be completed by early spring of 2016.

From humble beginnings Charles Taylor, Sr., was born

A plaque dedicated to Mr. Charles Taylor, Sr. hangs in the front lobby of the newly constructed apartment complex. on November 5, 1931. He was the eighth of 11 children and grew up in Bessemer, AL with a burning ambition to be an entrepreneur. Opportunities for a young African American man during that era were few, however; after he graduated from high school, he moved in with one of his older brothers who had relocated to Detroit.

In 1953 Taylor enlisted in the Army, serving a twoyear hitch as a tech Corporal I with the 1st Engineer,

Battalion Company “A.” He returned to Detroit after his military service, working for a while at a laundromat and later on the assembly line for Chrysler. During a layoff, a brother-in-law living in Milwaukee convinced Taylor to move to Milwaukee. After a short stint working at another laundromat, Taylor landed a job as a meat cutter with the Patrick Cudahy Co. He also started to purchase property.

He bought his first house in 1964 and another in 1968

and moved his growing family into the new one and rented out the first one. Soon he had a portfolio of properties. In 1971 he purchased a four-unit apartment building at 4522 N. Teutonia Ave. By the time he was 50, Taylor, his wife, Dora and their four children could live off the income from their rental properties and he retired from Cudahy. Taylor died two years ago and by then the apartment building he purchased in 1971 was suffering

from years of wear and tear due in part to high tenant turnover in recent years.

The family knew the apartment needed some significant renovation and they also wanted to attract tenants more likely to stay. The family together decided to remodel the kitchens and bathrooms, refinish the maple wood floors, and install new energy efficient windows.

“We believe they will be good tenants and good neighbors,” said Dorothea Taylor. “Our father was a veteran and we wanted to honor him and where he got his start and his drive. As kids all of us used to help him as he went around making repairs and checking on the properties."

“He knew what he wanted and knew how to get it,” said Charles Taylor, Jr. “His entire family came to trust his financial advice. He left our family a blessed legacy. We hope future generations will love and honor him for his foresight.”

If you’re a veteran under the care of the VA or a case manager and would like more information regarding housing at the Taylor Veteran Memorial Apartments, please contact Paulette Christian at (414) 841-2454.

County Supervisor Supreme Moore Omokunde has “lost patience” with Sheriff David Clarke

After Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., made a controversial appearance October 29 on FOX-TV and days later accompanied by one of his top staff members sought a confrontation with Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Supervisor Supreme Moore Omokunde said Sheriff Clarke’s recent behavior “is beneath the office of the Sheriff.”

On Fox and Friends, during an interview Sheriff Clarke said members of the Black Lives Matter movement were not protestors, but saboteurs whose intent is to overthrow the U.S. Constitution. He went on to suggest that instead of providing police protection for Black Lives Matter demonstrations, police should withdraw and allow citizens inconvenienced by traffic disruption to vent

their anger at the protestors “then when there is a disturbance we can show up and arrest these sub-human creeps….” he said.

Days later, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Sheriff Clarke, accompanied

by Inspector Edward Bailey, Adjutant to Sheriff Clarke, sought a “provocative and

Sheriff David A. Clarke recent remarks, comparing Black Lives Matter protesters to ISIS among other things, deserve to be loudly refuted, not validated with a $4 million tax increase,” Abele said as quoted by the Journal Sentinel. “Words matter. Black lives matter. We can’t expect things to improve unless we commit to a responsible

discourse oriented towards solutions.”

“That being said, Sheriff Clarke has gotten out of hand, and he’s been out of hand for quite some time,” Supervisor Omokunde said.

“Whether it has been his egomaniacal battles with County Executive Chris Abele or his personal attacks on other representatives elected locally and nationally, he has grossly ventured out of bounds, and this is not what the people of Milwaukee County elected him to do.

“Perhaps his biggest affront has been his recent declaration that there is no police brutality, that it’s ‘something we did away with in the 1960s',” Supervisor Omokunde said, adding “one is well-advised to treat (Sheriff Clarke) with kid gloves… lest they become one of his targets. But at this point he’s really starting to piss me off.”

“I have made it a point to be extremely polite, courteous and professional with (Sheriff Clarke) during the County Board’s Finance committee hearings, and I’ve even overlooked my personal issues with him in voting to allocate $4 million to his department’s budget in the interest of public safety,” said Lipscomb.

Abele’s proposed budget cut funding for the Sheriff ’s office by $8 million. County Supervisors voted to restore $4 million. Last week Abele wrote to the board asking them to reconsider “His most

Want to thank a veteran? Do something By: Pavan V. Parikh Cincinnati attorney, officer in the US Army Reserve, and partner with the Truman National Security Project "Thank you for your service."

As anyone who has ever travelled in uniform will tell you, that phrase is probably heard more than a simple "Hello." And that's fine. As a nation at war for 14 years, it is good for our troops to know that the people for whom they are fighting support them. However, even though veterans know that the sentiment comes from a place of caring, sometimes it can sound hollow.

At a time when less than one percent of the American population serves in uniform, Veteran's Day should be a time to reflect not only on the service of those who do, but to reflect on what it means to those who do not.

During World War II, not only did the troops go to war, the entire country did.

Rationing was imposed. Private industry was pressed into service shifting production towards military means.

During Korea and Vietnam (like in WWII and before), the draft was imposed and millions of young men were sent to fight against their will.

They didn't know if they were going to have to go and their families didn't either.

The country as a whole felt the cost of war.

Now, it has become easy to not feel that debt. We can fly a flag or place a ribbon on a car or stand at a baseball game and say we support our troops. We can say, "Thank you for your service" and feel good about ourselves. But do we all really feel the cost of our protracted wars? In your heart of hearts, ask yourself

if you have really been called to sacrifice anything over the last fourteen years. Those who raised their hands and said, "Send me" have. Their families have too. If you haven't, I dare you to do better.

Our military-civilian divide continues to grow with each day we remain engaged in conflicts around the world.

And that continued and widening division is dangerous for both sides of the equation. Members of the military can feel more isolated downrange and when they

This Week in Black History Thursday November 12: The Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., was founded by seven young educators who sought to raise the standards of school teachers in 1922, at Butler University in Indianapolis, IN. These individuals included Mary Lou Allison Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Dublin Redford, Bessie M. Downey and Cubene McClure. The sorority now has more than 100,000 members worldwide.

return.

Civilians can feel more apathetic and unengaged in the process of governance that sends our troops into harm's way. And the leadership of our government can remain numb to the true costs of enduring global conflict when such a small number of their constituents bear the burden for protecting the rest. The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen said it best: "The military becoming more and more isolated from

the American people is a disaster for America."

Like your high school English teacher probably told you, it is important to show and not just tell a story. Servicemen and women are people of action. So, if you really want to show your appreciation for their service, don't just thank them, do something.

Donate your time to volunteer at any number of organizations dedicated to veterans' issues. Donate your money to support the same. Sit with a homeless veteran or buy her a meal.

In the airport, don't just say, "Thank you;" engage that young soldier, sailor, airman, marine, or coast guardsman and tell them what the service of your grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, brother, sister, son, or daughter means to you. But on this Veteran's Day I beg of you, don't only say, "Thank you for your service." Do more.

Friday November 13: The United States Supreme Court upheld lower court decision which banned segregation on city buses in Montgomery, AL in 1956.

Federal injunctions prohibiting segregation on the buses were served on city, state and bus company officials, December 20. At two mass meetings Montgomery blacks, led by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., called off a year-long bus boycott and the buses were integrated the next day.

Saturday November 14: Escorted by U.S. Federal Marshalls, Ruby Bridges becomes the first African American child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South in 1960 following court-ordered integration in New Orleans. Former United States Deputy Marshal Charles Burks later recalled, “She showed a lot of courage. She never cried.

She didn’t whimper. She just marched along like a lit-

tle soldier, and we all were very proud of her.” Ruby and her family suffered for their decision to send their daughter to a white school.

Her father lost his job, the grocery store where the family shopped would no longer accept their money, and her grandparents, who were sharecroppers in Mississippi, were turned off their land.

Sunday November 15: Princeton Professor W. Arthur Lewis shared the Nobel Prize in Economics with Theodore Schultz in 1979.

He was the first black person to be named a Nobel Laureate for a category other than peace. In 1957 he served as the first economic advisor of the newly independent African nation of Ghana and is credited with developing some of the most important concepts about the patterns of capital and wages in developing countries.

He was particularly known for his contributions to the developing economies of former colonies as they began to gain independence from European nations.

Monday November 16: Tennis star Zina Garrison is born in Houston in 1963.

During her career, Garrison was a women’s singles runner-up at Wimbledon in 1990, a three-time Grand Slam mixed doubles champion, and a women’s doubles gold medalist at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. She retired from the professional tour in 1996 having won 14

top-level singles titles and 20 doubles titles.

Tuesday November 17: The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was incorporated in 1911 at Howard University

by Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper, and Frank Coleman. It is the first African American fraternity established at a historically black college. The three founders created the fraternity in the belief that “friendship is essential to the soul.”

Today the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has over 700 chapters across the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, South Korea, Japan, Liberia, Germany, and Kuwait.

Wednesday November 18: Louis E. Martin, newspaper editor, political activist, advisor to three American presidents was born in Shelbyville, TN in 1912. Martin was known throughout the capital as the “godfather of black politics,” acting as the unnoticed liaison between African Americans and U.S. presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Jimmy Carter.

He was particularly influential in the appointment of a number of African Americans to prominent federal positions, including Thurgood Marshall’s appointment to the United States Supreme Court in 1967 and Clifford Alexander as Secretary of the Army in 1977.

Week 3: American Diabetes Awareness American Diabetes Month is observed every November to draw attention to diabetes and its effects on millions of Americans. Diabetes is a disease that leads to high levels of blood sugar (glucose). It happens when the body does not make any or enough insulin, or does not use insulin well. Diabetes can lead to serious health problems, but people with diabetes can take steps to manage the disease and lower the chance of health problems.

The National Diabetes Education Program’s 2015 theme: “Diabetes Education and Support: Everyone Has a Role. What’s Yours?” highlights the need for ongoing diabetes education and support among people with diabetes and those who care for them.

Fast Facts About Diabetes: • Total: 29.1 million people or 9.3 percent of the U.S. population have diabetes.

• Diagnosed: 21.0 million people.

• Undiagnosed: 8.1 million people (27.8 percent of people with diabetes who are undiagnosed).

Source: CDC’s National Diabetes Statistics Report 2014.

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, the National Diabetes Education Program notes it is common to feel overwhelmed, sad, or angry when you are living with diabetes.

You may know the steps you should take to stay healthy, but have trouble sticking with your plan over time. Two tips to remember when learning to cope with your diabetes is by eating well and staying active: Eat well • Make a diabetes meal plan with help from your health care team.

• Choose foods that are lower in calories, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, and salt.

• Eat foods with more fiber, such as whole grain cereals, breads, crackers, rice, or pasta.

• Choose foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole

increase your muscle strength. Use stretch bands, do yoga, heavy gardening (digging and planting with tools), or try push-ups.

• Stay at or get to a healthy weight by using your meal plan and moving more.

Most importantly, speak with your health care team. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about your diabetes and report any changes in your health. grains, bread and cereals, and low-fat or skim milk and cheese.

• Drink water instead of juice and regular soda.

• When eating a meal, fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables; one quarter with a lean protein, such as beans, or chicken or turkey without the skin; and one quarter with a whole grain, such as brown rice or whole wheat pasta.

Stay active • Set a goal to be more active most days of the week.

Start slow by taking 10 minute walks, 3 times a day.

Bible Scripture for the week from The Book of Psalms I come to you for protection, O Lord my God. Save me from my persecutors—rescue me! If you don’t, they will maul me like a lion, tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me. O Lord my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice, if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause, then let my enemies capture me. Let them trample me into the ground and drag my honor in the dust. Interlude Arise, O Lord, in anger! Stand up against the fury of my enemies! Wake up, my God, and bring justice! Gather the nations before you. Rule over them from on high. The Lord judges the nations.

Declare me righteous, O Lord, for I am innocent, O Most High! End the evil of those who are wicked, and defend the righteous. For you look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God. God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right. God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day. If a person does not repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. He will prepare his deadly weapons and shoot his flaming arrows. The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies. They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves.

The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads. I will thank the Lord because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

Senators Lena Taylor and Nikiya Harris Dodd denounce new strip search powers

By Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times State Senators Nikiya Harris Dodd and Lena Taylor held a press conference outside the Milwaukee 5th District Police Station on November 2, 2015 to denounce Senate Bill 248, which expands the use of strip searches to any individual who is arrested and detained.

“I opposed the bill when it was before me in the Senate Judiciary Committee and will continue to shine a light on the practice of strip searching non-violent temporary detainees,” Senator Taylor said. “This bill, as you might remember, removes the current requirement that a person be arrested or detained for at least twelve hours before they are strip searched.”

Sen. Taylor said she was sympathetic to the Wisconsin State Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs Association and the Badger State Sheriff ’s Association, all of whom have

come out in favor of the bill as a means of ensuring safety of detained persons and law enforcement officials; but there is already a documented problem of abuse with the existing law and this change will cause more abuse and trauma to its victims, she said.

“In June 2013, Devin Raglan was a passenger in a car with two male friends,” Sen. Taylor said. “They were stopped by the police. When a bullet and marijuana were found on the driver, Raglan was also patted down. Next, however, Ragland was forced to drop his pants. An officer felt his testicles through his basketball shorts and when backup officers arrived, one pulled Ragland’s shorts and underwear away. Ragland was arrested for being a minor in possession of cigarettes, certainly a crime, but a crime worthy of this level of humiliation? I think not.

Ragland’s story is just one of many. A Milwaukee attorney

Covering you. Covering your kids.

Senator Lena Taylor speaks at a press conference outside the police station in District 5.

I spoke with has 14 cases of unlawful strip searches pending in federal court.”

At the press conference the senators said the bill likely would make its way to the Senate floor soon.

“I understand that law en-

forcement in smaller and mid-sized communities feel current law is insufficient to protect them,” Sen. Taylor said. “But current law and SB-248 are insufficient to protect Milwaukeeans. I attempted unsuccessfully to

amend the bill in committee and will continue to do my best to limit the likelihood you or someone you know may be unnecessarily subjected to this humiliating practice.”

On Sunday, November 8, 2015 The North Central Club held their 2015 Luncheon Fashion Show. The event was held at Milwaukee Radisson North Shore, 7065 N. Port Washington Rd. The Luncheon featured a silent auction and a fashion show, which featured fashions designed by local designer Karen James. The fashions for the show were provided

by Ms. James and A.J. Ugent Furs, as well as some of the models themselves. The show was M.C.'ed by Ms. Gloria Miller. The North Central Service Club was founded by Marlene Narcisse Johnson and Mildred Harpole who recognized the need for African American women to become involved in community service within the central city; and to provide a reservoir of leadership to effect positive change. The organization aims to develop civic, educational, social, and cultural programs which can improve the quality of life for the central city women. The club is currently run by co-presidents Mildred Harpole and Monica Dickerson; with Marchelle Odom serving as vice-president. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Over the past four years, Milwaukee firefighters will have donated 16,000 new coats to 36 Milwaukee-area schools.

MPS schools receiving coats this year include: Browning Elementary School, Bruce Elementary School, Elm Creative Arts School, Engleburg Elementary School, Forest Home Avenue Elementary School, La Escuela Fratney, HawPhoto by MPS thorne Elementary School, Hayes Bilingual School, Assistant Chief Gerard Washington and a Forest Gwen T.

Love is…helping Black men speak up about prostate health

By Gwendolyn Harris For BlackDoctor.org In my circle of friends, it’s not uncommon to get a text from one of my girls asking about a recommendation for a good OB/GYN or a therapist. We can mix these bigger health talks into our every day conversation like it’s nothing.

For men, on the other hand, these conversations are a little bit harder to have and that’s if they even happen at all – especially when it comes to prostate cancer.

Results from a recent Harris Poll survey of 410 men with advanced prostate cancer and 95 caregivers found that nearly 7 in 10 (68 percent) of men surveyed admitted to sometimes ignoring symptoms like pain. The survey, conducted by eight patient advocacy groups comprising the International Prostate Cancer Coalition (IPCC), also showed that 71 percent of men don’t know what causes the pain and more than half say they feel pain is just something they have to live with.

The survey shows the important role of caregivers when it comes to helping men speak up about their prostate health. It can be life-saving. “It was actually

the encouragement of my wife and the foot kicking by my wife to get a physical that led to my detection of prostate cancer,” remembers Thomas Farrington about what led to his health-saving early diagnosis. Now a 15year prostate cancer survivor, Farrington has made it his mission to save the lives of other Black men.

In 2003, Farrington founded The Prostate Health Education Network (PHEN) to increase awareness and knowledge about prostate cancer within Black America, which according to PHEN’s website, suffers an alarming 140 percent higher death rate than for all other men.

Black men have a 2½ times higher death rate from prostate cancer and as Farrington

explains, “the whole issue about managing advanced prostate cancer is critical for men and this is what men die from when the disease is advanced to the bones and other parts of the body.”

What does advanced prostate cancer look like?

While early stage prostate cancer can cause no symptoms, symptoms may emerge as the disease progresses. The most common advanced prostate cancer symptoms experienced by survey respondents with bone metastases (cancer that has spread to their bones) include fatigue (85 percent), pain or aches in specific areas (71 percent), general allover-body pain or aches (55 percent), numbness or weakness (55 percent), difficulty

sleeping as a result of pain (42 percent), anxiety or distress as a result of pain (40 percent) and difficulty doing normal activities (40 percent).1 Men living with advanced prostate cancer experience symptoms like difficulty walking or climbing stairs, difficulty sleeping and loss of bladder control. On the surface, these symptoms are easy for men to ignore and not see as a sign their prostate cancer is progressing.

“A man who is typically used to going upstairs to, say his bedroom on the second floor, and now all of a sudden he is just finding that he is incredibly winded or his balance is off and he says ‘I am just gonna start sleeping on the couch or the guest bedroom or the reclining chair and I guess I am just getting old,’ that’s not a good thing,” says Dr. Neal Shore, a prostate expert and South Carolina-based oncologist.

These symptoms, says Shore, can potentially tell the nurse and the doctor that the man is having this progressive disease manifest itself and he may need additional tests to see if his cancer is, indeed, progressing. Any information observed by loved ones and caregivers should

be shared with doctors.

Managing prostate cancer Early detection can’t be stressed enough when it comes to Black men and prostate cancer. For men that have already been diagnosed, keeping the disease from progressing to advanced stages is the focus. Beyond eating a balanced diet and staying fit, Farrington stresses the importance of men (and their loved ones) knowing and paying attention to the symptoms of advanced cancer, like bone pain and fatigue.

“You have to have your PSA test continuously and be on alert and speak up.

What happened with this survey [is] it kind of shows that men with prostate cancer are like men without it.

We just don’t want to listen to our body sometimes. We may have something that’s happening and we say, ‘Hey, that may go away,’ and it may come again and you say that it will go away. If you are a prostate cancer patient then it’s important to know that you have to be highly sensitive to certain symptoms.

The eight people you need on your diabetes care team Because diabetes is a disease that affects so many parts of your body (your eyes, your pancreas, your kidneys, your feet) and demands attention in so many aspects of your daily life (your diet, your fitness routine, your medication schedule), one single doctor—even a great one—may not be able to provide you with the level of detailed care you need. You will quickly see that having a group of people working with and for you can ease the burden of trying to make the best decisions for your own care.

Below is a description of the different types of health care providers you’ll want to have on your diabetes dream team.

tioner, physician assistant) – The primary care provider is the person you see for routine medical visits, including management of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. He or she will examine you, assess your condition, order tests, and make recommendations for your care. Your primary care provider may refer you to others for diabetes specif-

ic care.

2. Endocrinologist Endocrinologist specializes in hormonal illnesses and glandular problem like thyroid, pancreas, ovaries, adrenal glands, and everything in between. Because diabetes is basically a hormone imbalance related to the way your pancreas produces or processes insulin, diabetes is a specialty of many endocrinologists. Your primary care provider may refer you to an endocrinologist who can evaluate your condition if your diagnosis is complex— if you are on multiple medications, on an insulin pump, use more than one type of insulin, or just can’t seem to get your condition under control.

3. Ophthalmologist An ophthalmologist is a specialist who is qualified to deliver total eye care including, eye examinations and surgical eye care. Diabetes

affects the blood vessels of the eyes and can cause problems, and even blindness, if your diabetes is not well controlled. You should see your eye doctor at least once a year. If you are experiencing eye problems you may need to go more frequently.

4. Podiatrist Diabetes affects the nerves and blood circulation, making your feet and lower legs vulnerable to injury or infection. A podiatrist will examine your feet and provide immediate treatment for any foot and lower-leg problems that you experience. You should examine your feet every day so that you can alert your podiatrist right away to any problems you notice.

The tiniest unintended injury can worsen until you wind up facing an amputation.

5. Registered dietitian The relationship between diabetes and what, when, and how you eat is critical.

For that reason, your doctor may suggest that you visit a dietitian for help better managing your diabetes diet. A registered dietitian is trained in the science of diet modifications to help you reach optimal health and to control illnesses such as diabetes.

6. Nurse A nurse may help with your treatment and is likely to teach you about diabetes monitoring and treatment, as well as self-management.

Some nurses are specialists

in diabetes with additional training and experience.

They can teach you how to take your medications, give yourself insulin, monitor your blood sugars, recognize symptoms of high and low blood sugars, and how to handle sick days.

7. Diabetes educator A diabetes educator is an expert at helping people with diabetes gain knowledge and self-management skills needed to take care of themselves and their diabetes, and any problems that may result from diabetes. Your diabetes educator may also be a dietitian, nurse, pharmacist, or physician.

8. Pharmacist A pharmacist is trained to prepare, distribute, and educate patients about medicines. Pharmacists check for possible drug interactions or side effects from prescribed medicines for people with diabetes. Pharmacists also may help keep track of how well the medicines you are taking are working.

Home for the holidays: Evaluating your parents' well-being

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

Wealth Building

Wednesday, November 18, 2015 e

The holiday juggle is a good time to evaluate a senior's health and self-reliance. Here's what to look for and how to help them.

Last Thanksgiving, Eliza Kendall visited her parents at her childhood home in Darien, CT. They had both lost weight since she last saw them, her mother most noticeably. And when Kendall looked inside their oven, she found an uneaten pizza.

"Reality hits you right in the face when you go home," says Kendall, 54, of Harwich, MA. There were other worrisome signs. Kendall's mother, who is 81, was repeating herself. "Dad was having trouble with very simple tasks, like doing his bills. He'd stopped doing his crossword puzzles."

Going home for the holidays has layers of significance for adult children, particularly those who live out of town. It remains a time of togetherness and love, but it's also an opportunity to observe your parents' physical and mental health to determine if they're thriving or require greater assistance.

"You are looking for any obvious signs of change," says Roger Baumgart, CEO of Home Instead Senior Care, a network of home care agencies based in Omaha, NE. For example, it's clearly a red flag if your typically well-groomed mother has stains on her dress and

disheveled hair, and she is not self-conscious about this.

Watching your parent cross the room can be revealing, says Baumgart. "Are they as mobile? Are they struggling more to get out of a chair?"

What to look for • A change in mobility--is your parent sitting in the same place all day? When they move do they wince in pain?

• Obvious weight change • New dents in their car • A stack of unpaid bills • Leaving belongings in strange places, like putting their eyeglasses in the refrigerator • Frequent confusion/memory loss • Spoiled food in the fridgeor little food (especially if this is abnormal) • Forgetting the names of household items • Decreased judgment regarding finances, e.g. overspending • Frequent changes in mood

and personality What next?

Try to avoid jumping to conclusions, however. If your parents are hosting the family get-together, they may be stressed and tired from days of preparation. "It is best to gather information from multiple sources a rather than coming to a hasty decision," says Mary Stehle, senior care advisor at Care. com.

It's best to avoid a heavy talk during the holidays, but if your relationship with your parents is fairly good, issues may come up naturally in conversation, says Barbara Silverstone, co-author of You & Your Aging Parent. Immediate action must be taken, of course, if there are safety concerns, such as your parent forgetting to turn off the burner on the stovetop.

After the holidays, share your concerns with siblings.

They may have noticed additional problems or have a

different perspective on how to approach the situation. Says Stehle, "If you are aligned, the greater the likelihood any changes that need to be implemented will be successful."

It may also be valuable to chat with your parents' neighbors, friends, and other members of their community like priests or rabbis, to see if they have noticed any decline. While at home, take a walk and introduce yourself to their neighbors, leaving your phone number and email address behind. Ask them to be comfortable contacting you if they become concerned.

Next, investigate what services are available in your parent's community, such as adult day programs, home care and cleaning services.

(The Care.com Senior Care services can also help you with this.) Contact your parent's local area agency on aging at N4A.org. Understanding the available care options will be extremely helpful in the conversation you have with your parents.

Talking to your parents Before you have this important meeting with your parents, be sure you have specific examples of changes in their behavior or health.

Then, offer strategies to help them remain independent.

"You don't want to be accusatory or judgmental," says Stehle. "Be honest. Say, 'This is what I'm noticing'."

How you deliver your message is equally important as what you say. "Keep it on an equal plain," suggests Silverstone. "You have problems too. It should be two adults talking to one another about how their lives are going." If your relationship with your parent is a difficult one, you may benefit from including your parent's doctor in the conversation, or hiring a geriatric care manager or senior care advisor to help you through the process. "The parent may have an easier time 'hearing' this information from a third party than from his or her own child," says Stehle.

Even if you and your parents are close, don't expect to resolve matters in one meeting. "Typically, it takes multiple conversations," Stehle says. "It's a process."

Parents may feel fearful and confrontational when approached by concerned children. "They may worry that it means their lives will have to change significantly," says Stehle.

Making holidays bright – and affordable Already dreading what you'll spend this holiday season? It doesn't have to be that way.

Gifts aren't the only budget-busting culprit during the holidays. The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's are also a peak time for spending on groceries, travel, events, entertainment, energy, clothes and meals out.

Financial advisors recommend you use no more than 1.5 percent of your annual income on holiday spending (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/holiday), so consider the following suggestions to keep it under control: • Start with a list and make a budget. Begin your planning by listing every possible holiday expense you'll face – and don't stop at gifts.

Consult the Practical Money Skills for Life comprehensive holiday budget planner (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/yourholidaybudget) to help organize your information and track your spending.

• Be open about money trouble. If you are facing fi-

nancial difficulties during the holiday season, don't spend to hide the problem. Don't be ashamed to make adjustments and tell friends and family members that you'd like to temporarily downsize your spending until conditions improve. They might actually appreciate a spending reprieve, too.

• Build a bargain-hunting strike force. Let friends and family know you're looking for particular toys, gifts, foods or decorating items and volunteer to do the same for them. Save and share coupons. Encourage your group to find resources, check pric-

African American Chamber of Commerce hosts 'Women in Business' luncheon series on education, entrepreneurship and business The African American Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin hosted "Women in Business Luncheon Series: Connecting Education to Entrepreneurship and Business" on Thurs., Nov. 12.

This event, was held at the Milwaukee Yacht Club and featured those at the helm of leading educational and social institutions locally. Panelist include: Dr. Darienne Driver, Milwaukee Public Schools; Dr. Vicki Martin, Milwaukee Area Technical College; Paula Penebaker, YWCA Southeastern Wisconsin; and Dr. Joan Prince, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. ReDonna Rodgers with the Center for Teaching Entrepreneurship is the featured entrepreneur.

Those powerful women leaders have a unique position in guiding conversations about education and its economic impact on the larger community. The panel discussion explored a greater understanding of how business and education intersect through the lens of female executives who are charged www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

with integrating programs and services intended to develop students’ core academic, technical, and employable skills.

“African Americans, especially those in Wisconsin are experiencing many challenges that impact our business community. It is our mission to raise the economic outcome of African American families and communities through success stories, best practices, and exemplary models that build hope and promise,” said Dr. Eve Hall, president/CEO of the African American Chamber of Commerce and event moderator.

The AACCW is proud to have the support of corporate sponsors Milwaukee Business Journal and Johnson Controls, Inc. The African American Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin supports the growth and sustainability of businesses owned by African Americans through four pillars of service: access to capital, advocacy, business development and community engagement.

es and share requests and ideas via social media. Results can come back in a matter of minutes.

• Evaluate all transportation costs. Do you really need to run out of one or two items at a time? Designate certain days of the week for particular items, keep an eye out for free delivery and see if friends and family might want to share errands.

Those with large vehicles or trucks can help move, deliver and even install appliances or electronics if they have the skills to do so. Smart transportation choices extend to car pools or public transpor-

tation for events and entertainment.

• Leverage your creativity. If there's something you make or do really well that people love, consider making such accomplishments into gifts. From specialty food items your friends enjoy, to clothing or art, anything done well can be a gift. Don't rule out lessons or skilled labor as potential holiday gifts, particularly for relatives who can't afford such services at this time. Smart shopping for ingredients or supplies can make such creative gifts a real money saver.

• Build a year-round gift stash. If there are gifts or foodstuffs you can buy on sale and keep for a while, you'll have a ready source of thank-you gifts for hosts, teachers or co-workers yearround. Set aside a similar area for cards, gift tags and wrapping paper. Also keep in mind that many retailers put holiday-themed items on sale before the holidays are finished. If you think you'll need these items next year, grab your coupons, take advantage and put those items

aside for future gift giving.

• Late saving for gifts?

Do it anyway. If you don't have a holiday fund set up, don't let that keep you from starting one. Every little bit helps. Take 5-10 percent of your next paycheck and set it aside, doing it each week throughout the holidays. If you keep it up, your holiday fund can eventually become an emergency fund to be used for other savings goals, including retirement.

• Take notes for next holiday season. Create a paper or digital file where you can collect ideas for next year.

Check print and online resources like Consumer Reports for items that can be bought at specific times of the year at a discount so you are able to hide them for the holidays – but remember where you hid them.

Bottom line: Keeping holidays affordable isn't a challenge when you're willing to do a little planning, idea-sharing and record-keeping.

Make it an activity you can do year-round.

Discovering Our Deep Cultural Roots In The Arts

Get to know famous Black artists

By William S. Gooden Milwaukee Times' Culture Vulture They are the famous African American artists who have exquisitely shared portrayals of historic events and individuals, cultural perspectives, and the experiences and struggles of minorities through their artwork. Examine our list of pivotal black artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, who helped to bring African American and Latino experiences into the elite art world through his graffiti works; Augusta Savage, a sculptor and leading artist of the Harlem Renaissance, who experienced racial discrimination by an art program's selection committee; and Kara Walker, who has used paper silhouettes to depict race and gender relations.

Edmonia Lewis Sculptor (c. 1844–c. 1907) The first professional African American and Native American sculptor, Edmonia Lewis earned critical praise for work that explored religious and classical themes.

Edmonia Lewis was born around 1844 in Greenbush, NY. Her first notable commercial success was a bust of Colonel Robert Gould

Edmonia Lewis Shaw. Sales of copies of the bust allowed her to sail to Rome, Italy, where she mastered working in marble. She quickly achieved success as a sculptor. The circumstances of her death, which occurred circa 1911, are unclear.

In recent decades, however, Lewis's life and art has received well-deserved respect.

Her pieces are now part of the permanent collections of the Howard University Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Jacob Lawrence raised in New York City's Harlem, Jacob Lawrence was the most widely acclaimed African American artist of the 20th century. Known for producing narrative collections like the Migration Series and War Series, he brought the African American experience to life using blacks and browns juxtaposed with vivid colors. He also taught, and spent 15 years as a professor at the University of Washington. Lawrence painted until a few weeks before he died, on June 9, 2000.

in West Chester, PA, Horace Pippin created art as a child, though he lost the use of his drawing arm in World War I. He persevered and taught himself to paint with his injury, becoming a MOMA artist acclaimed for his renderings of African American life along with biblical imagery and historical scenes. Published in magazines as well, Pippin died in West Chester on July 6, 1946.

Major exhibitions of his work have been curated after his death at institutions like Jacob Lawrence the Pennsylvania Academy Academic, Painter Horace Pippin of the Fine Arts and the Met(1917–2000) Painter, Warrior, Military ropolitan Museum of Art.

Laura Wheeler Waring Painter, Illustrator (1887–1948) An African American artist and painter, Laura Wheeler Waring created portraits of many well-known figures from the NAACP and the Civil Rights Movement.

Born on May 16, 1887, in Hartford, CT, Laura Wheeler Waring was an African-American teacher and artist who became known for her portraits; the subjects she painted include W.E.B. Du Bois and Marian Anderson.

A member of the NAACP, Wheeler also contributed many illustrations to its magazine, The Crisis. She died at age 60 on February 3, 1948, in Philadelphia, PA. Her work, which often fought stereotypes and portrayed accomplished African Americans, was another step on the road toward civil rights. In her lifetime, she had her paintings shown at institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. Today, many of the portraits that make up part of her artistic legacy are in the National Portrait Gallery's permanent collection.

Milwaukee Airman Quinn Johnson-Harris laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery with full honors Milwaukee native Quinn Johnson-Harris, age 21, was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on November 2. Airman Johnson-Harris died October 2 in Afghanistan when the C-130 cargo plane he was in crashed just after takeoff, killing all 11 on board. He was in the first of a four-month-long deployment to Afghanistan when the crash occurred.

Airman Quinn-Harris attended Nicolet High School as a sophomore and junior.

He graduated in 2012 from Homestead High School in Mequon. He was a good student and excellent football player, according to friends, former classmates and his football coach. For Airman Johnson-Harris, joining the military was part of a family tradition, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

His grandfather served in Vietnam and his oldest brother, Jeremy Johnson, was a Marine. Older brother Lamar Johnson-Harris, a 2015 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy in West Point is in the Army. Airman Johnson-Harris joined the Air Force in 2013. Prior to his burial Airman John-

son-Harris returned to Milwaukee one final time.

His body arrived at General Mitchell International Airport on October 22 in a flag-draped casket and accompanied by a military escort. Michelle Pitts, president and owner of The New Pitts Mortuary said Airman Johnson-Harris' mother had requested a “presidential style” funeral for her youngest son and the mortuary coordinated all the arrangements.

Numerous law enforcement agencies escorted his body to The New Pitts Mortuary, 2031 W. Capitol Dr. On October 24 there was a military funeral procession, including the American Legion’s horse-drawn carriage, the City of Milwaukee’s Police Department and the Milwaukee County Sheriff ’s Department. Hundreds of local residents lined the route holding American flags as the “Hero’s Welcome” began at the New Pitts Mortuary and proceeded west on Capitol Drive to the vacant Lowes at 5700 W. Capitol Pkwy.

After unloading the horse and carriage, the military funeral procession continued to Mill Road Shopping Plaza 6410 N. 76th St. The Amer-

Unraveling the Black adoption myths in America

At first glance vested in the weight of the blessings, adamant secrecy adoption has yet another layer of imagery. Families being torn apart by drug use, poverty, homelessness and even death. At any given moment there are 500,000 children in foster care across the United States with 26 percent being African American according to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010 statistics.

This statistic gives pause to Gloria King, executive director of the Oakland, CA, based Black Adoption and Placement Resource Center.

Founded in 1983 BAPRC was among the first “specialty” agencies to dispel the myths surrounding adoption eligibility criteria that kept countless prospective parents from applying.

igin of modern adoption was not conceived with minorities in mind. It was designed for children who had been orphaned due to war; during the Civil War children would be placed up on boxes so they could be looked over by potential parents, hence the term “put up” for adoption.

Yet by the 70s and early 80s there was an influx of African American children into protective family services.

Causes for the increase were related to the Vietnam War, drugs, violent crime combined with a plethora of other issues impacting the Black community.

Myth II: So called “drug babies” are destined to be super predators “We had to do a lot of re-education for the community as to how to care for these children and regarding adoption in general,” stated King concerning the phenomenon of children born drug induced during this era and the media hype that condemned their futures to an unwarranted abyss.

Andricus Hutchinson, a 30-something, college educated African American male can speak first hand to this issue. He was born addicted to heroin and placed for adoption within hours of his birth. When he was one month old, he was adopted by his African American parents who never discussed the issue.

Despite their unconditional love he always had a lingering suspicion that indeed he was adopted.

“Whenever I asked if I was adopted – they would flip the question and ask, “Why is that important, but would never answer “yes” or “no”, he said. “Then one afternoon during a phone conversation with my mom while in college, I just kept badgering her on the subject and finally, she told me.” Having that cloak of secrecy removed was an affirmation for Hutchinson.

With support from his parents he sought answers to the circumstances surrounding his adoption and discovered that his birth mother had died from AIDS complications; his older siblings were repeat drug offenders, and many of the males in his family died young from violent deaths. And the entire family thought he was a still birth – since the adoption was never mentioned, because his birth mother wanted this baby to have a chance.

Myth III: Damages caused by the blind side effect: There is no way around the tricky issue some label the “so called” Blind Side Effect.

This encompasses any transracial adoption where Caucasians are raising a child of African descent who might then not be connected with their cultural heritage. This is the environment Sean Folkson, founder of Nightfood, a nutritional snack bar that promotes better sleep, and his wife found themselves in when they decided to adopt.

“Our goal when making the decision to adopt (as opposed to procreating) was that we wanted to provide love, a home and a great life for a soul that might not have had those opportunities otherwise,” Folkson said. “We didn’t set restrictions with regard to race or gender.”

Folkson, his wife is of Mexican descent and their toddler son Benjamin live in a diverse area in New York City.

Although they are enriching their knowledge of African American culture, he expects that there will be unforeseen challenges ahead as they raise their child.

“Sometimes we get funny looks, and strange ques-

tions…but I can’t imagine having anybody else as my son,” Folkson said. “He is such an amazing little bubby and his joy just radiates.”

Folkson recounted how once there was this older Black woman who bent down and asked Benjamin where his mother was when he was walking a few paces in front of them at a local street fair. He said the incident saddened him because “It was as if, she never even considered that we could possibly be his parents and we are.”

Prior to the 1994 passage of The Multiethnic Placement Act (MEPA) amended in 1996, minorities were historically discouraged from fostering or becoming adoptive parents by public agencies. Congress found that among the factors that contributed to the experientially high numbers of minority children within the child protective system stemmed from the denial of these applicants motivated by racial and ethnic matching policies.

MEPA addressed these concerns by prohibiting the use of a child’s or a prospective parent’s race, color, or national origin to delay or deny the child’s placement.

The act also requires diligent efforts to expand the number of racially and ethnically diverse foster and adoptive parents.

Myth IV: Singles need not apply and you must be a home owner Although the number of minorities adopting is low, federal government figures show that half of all minority adoptions are by single, black women between the ages of 30 and 50. Furthermore, these women are more likely to adopt older children and sibling groups.

In fact at BAPRC the number of singles applying to adopt is split equally among males and females. King contends that anyone who really understands the selfless job of parenting and is willing to provide a “forever space for a child” that meets their needs should strongly consider adoption because you don’t have to be Ozzie and Harriet.

“We like to show families that are single or older in our advertisements. Showing people in these roles, especially in the African American community, helps people start to consider adoption,” she said, “and when they do, they say, oh yes, I can do that – and they step up.”

Seniors and the holidays (Continued from pg.14) "It may also [summon] thoughts of mortality and loss of independence." You can reassure them by explaining that your goal is not to make decisions for them, but to guide them and help them maintain as much control as possible, she adds.

The good news is that there are often simple measures you can take to enable your parents to remain independent as long as possible, like installing a grab bar in the shower, or hiring a home health aide a few days a week.

First, advises Silverstone, take your mom or dad to see their primary care provider.

"Very often you can bring attention to the doctor [about health concerns] he was not aware of and it can be sorted out," she says. You can also get a sense of whether the physician is competent and knowledgeable about geriatrics.

Eliza Kendall's sisters agreed that their parents needed more assistance.

They decided to divide the responsibilities. Eliza, a businesswoman, has power of attorney and handles all the finances. One sister, a social worker, takes care of health related matters. A third helps the other two.

"We meet once a month for dinner for an update and to decide if any care changes need to be made," says Kendall.

It can be painful for adult children to admit that the people they have always leaned on now need their help. But it's far less stressful to be proactive, rather than reacting to a crisis.
