St. John’s Cathedral receives $5,000 AT&T donation to support Open Door Café On Wednesday, November 19, 2014 AT&T announced an AT&T CARES contribution of $5,000 to The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Milwaukee to support the Open Door Café’s lunch program, which serves nutritious meals to the poor and homeless. Since 2002, the Open Door Café meal program has been serving lunch to the homeless and working poor in Milwaukee. Its mission is to provide a nourishing meal for Milwaukee’s needy, served in a gracious, comfortable and safe environment. In 2013, 57,000 lunches were served, with approximately 180 guests each day. “The Open Door Café depends on the efforts of our dedicated volunteers to help us meet the needs of Milwaukee’s hungry,” said Schauneille Allen, Director of Outreach Ministries at The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. “We are very grateful not only for this generous financial contribution from AT&T, but also for the countless hours
that the AT&T Pioneers have given in service to the less fortunate in our community over the years.” The AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers have been helping serve lunches 2-3 days a month at the Open Door Café since April 2007. Pioneers not only volunteer over 200 hours yearly, but they also provide donations for the Helen Loftus Christmas party at the Open Door Café. Cash, gift cards, hats scarves, gloves and clothing were among the donated items for last year’s Christmas Party. The Open Door Café’s meal program is the only regular mid-day meal available in Milwaukee for the poor and homeless. In addition to its lunch program, the Open Door Café also provides other support, including distributing resource cards with information about job opportunities, alcohol or drug treatment, health care, legal advice, shelters, food pantries and clothing.

My tribute to Annette “Polly” Williams (1937-2014) The following is a special tribute to the late Annette "Polly" Williams by Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr. I was shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden death of former Wisconsin state legislator Annette “Polly” Williams. I lost a friend, a mentor, and a confidant. Polly’s petite stature belied her large presence in Milwaukee, which lasted long after she left political life. I became aware of Polly due to her involvement in Milwaukee’s Parental Choice Program, which gives lowincome parents a vehicle for their children to escape the underachieving Milwaukee Public Schools system. For many parents and their children who are stuck in this monopolistic public education morass, the school choice option is the only hope for these kids to escape generational poverty, a life of crime, and low-paying jobs. Polly understood this. This is where my admiration for Polly began, even though she and I disagreed on other social and political issues. Early in my public life, Polly taught me conviction; that sometimes you have to put the best interests of people before partisan politics. Her support of education for poor minority children bucked the state and county Democratic Party. This is the same political party that claims that everything it does for education is for the children, yet it fights against the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, thereby keeping poor Black kids shackled to a failing school system. The other virtue I learned from Polly is courage, which she displayed when she stood up to the Democratic Party. Going against a political party can mean the end of one’s political career. Most do not survive, as the party runs opponents against you, raises money against you, and mobilizes voters against you, when you do not exhibit abject servility to their platform. The Democratic Party did that to Polly simply because of her courageous stance to give poor Black kids an escape from a failing school system and a chance at a full productive life. On most every other issue she was a reliable Democrat voter and supporter, but that did not matter in the political environment. Polly displayed another act of courage this past summer when she publicly supported me for re-election as Sheriff. In Democratic Party circles, publicly declaring support for Sheriff David Clarke is a
Annette "Polly" Williams
Sheriff David A. Clarke no-no. My friend Polly knew that the Clarke haters would attack her, but she didn’t care. She said to me, “You’re the right man for the job and you care about this community,” which she declared on her weekly urban talk radio program. She displayed my yard sign in front of her central city home and got flak for doing so. THAT takes courage. There was nothing in it for her. Once again she did what she felt was right in her mind and soul like she did for poor minority children in Milwaukee. Her support of me is not what I admire. I admire her courage in doing so in the face of the blowback she knew would follow, and which ultimately did. Polly only feared God. Polly taught me that it is OK to stand up for what you believe against the political elite and powerful political party structure. I’ll miss her, but will find comfort knowing that in spirit she will be right at my side as I continue to fight for people who have no voice in the political arena, like children and victims of crime. Polly, rest in peace, I’ll run with the torch for now. You are my profile in courage. - Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr.
Former DC Mayor Marion Barry passes at age 78 Former DC Mayor Marion Barry died on Sunday, November 23, 2014, according to his family. Family and very close associates were gathered at United Medical Center in Southeast Washington as the word spread. The 78-year-old Barry had just been released from Howard University Hospital on Saturday evening after being admitted on Thursday. Barry had told WUSA9 Anchor Bruce Johnson by phone that he was there for observation. "He sounded very weak when we talked Thursday evening; but he sounded better when he called me Friday morning," Johnson said. Marion Barry has battled a number of ailments including prostate cancer and diabetes. In 2009 he received a kidney transplant. Barry leaves behind a legacy in DC politics that will probably never be matched in the city, according to Johnson, who covered Barry in the 80's, 90's all the way until recently. "Mayor Barry knew how to organize, that's what separated him from all the other politicians in the beginning of his career," Johnson said. Barry served as the District's mayor from 1979 to 1991, then again from 1995 to 1999. He represented DC's 8th Ward on the City Council until the day he died. His local celebrity exploded into international fame in 1990, when he was videotaped smoking crack by federal agents. He was arrested and sent to federal prison for six months. That time in prison, however, did not affect his political career in the city at all. He was elected to the city council just a year and a half later in 1992. Then, he was re-elected as the DC Mayor in 1994.Barry leaves behind his wife, Cora Masters; his son, Marion Christopher Barry; and his two stepdaughters, Tamara Masters Wild and Lalanya Masters Abner. Mayor Vincent Gray released this statement early Sunday morning: "Mayor Vincent C. Gray expressed deep sadness after learning of the passing of Ward 8 Councilmember and former Mayor Marion Barry. Mayor Gray spoke with former First Lady Cora Masters Barry late Saturday and shared his condolences and sympathies with her, and as well said his thoughts and prayers were with the Councilmember's son, Christopher. "Marion was not just a colleague but also was a friend with whom I shared many fond moments about governing the city," said Mayor Gray. "He loved the District
Marion Barry of Columbia and so many Washingtonians loved him." Mayor Gray said that he would work with Councilmember Barry's family and the Council to plan official ceremonies worthy of a true statesman of the District of Columbia. The DC City Council released this statement early Sunday morning: "It is with deep regret that the family of former fourtime D.C. Mayor, and Ward 8 City Councilman, Marion S. Barry, Jr., announces that he has passed.
Mr. Barry transitioned at approximately 12 midnight on November 23, 2014, at the United Medical Center, after having been released from Howard University Hospital on Saturday, November 22, 2014. Mr. Barry released his autobiography "Mayor For Life, the Incredible Story of Marion Barry, Jr." in June 2014. Note: Marion Barry was the keynote speaker for the Milwaukee Times' 2nd Annual Black Excellence Awards in 1986.

Rebuilding Our Community

By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special for the Milwaukee Times
A time to give thanks Beyond all the reality of living in one of the best countries in the world, there will always be opportunities to make improvements to make it even more a land of possibilities. Besides the ongoing political debates on immigration, health care, crime prevention, affordable housing and employment, there is a need to take a time out to remember the significance of this time of year. As this Thanksgiving Day is upon us, it is time to focus on the importance of this time with the celebration of family, history, heritage, good food, and faith. The celebration of Thanksgiving dates back several centuries and is
recognized as a national holiday is several countries. It is generally observed as a time in which to celebrate a good harvest at the end of the planting season. Of course the true meaning of Thanksgiving has been lost over the decades and the day has evolved into a number of other things including shopping, football and parties. It is also looked upon as the start of the Christmas holiday and Advent season. In the heart of most Americans, Thanksgiving is one of those special times in which families come together to share some quality time, great food, offer prayers, catch up with events, take
CHILD WATCH
pictures, play games and reflect upon what it means to be family. The time honored guest at these gathering is turkey with stuffing, along with yams, pumpkin pie, ham, rolls, vegetables and cranberry sauce. If it was a “soul food” thanksgiving dinner, there may be a number of other additional side items including greens,
chitterlings, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, peach cobbler, ice cream, mashed potatoes, barbequed ribs and chicken. This is also a time to focus on those Americans, members in our congregations, the homeless who are living in shelters, under bridges, on park benches, inside cardboard boxes, cars and in manmade shelters. There will always be those in our great nation who have fallen on hard times, out of work, mentally ill or down on their luck and just need a helping hand. This is a time to show compassion, good will, spiritual values, and to demonstrate our true
humanity. If we forget who we are and what it means to live in one of the wealthiest nations in the world, then we also have forgotten all those who have gone on before us and helped us to be who we are today.

Learning to love what you have
In a season focused on gratitude, 17-year-old Monica Chica has an attitude about choosing to be grateful that’s wise far beyond her years: “The most important lesson I learned is that being happy is not about having with you what you loved in the past, but learning to love what you have in the present.” Monica learned this lesson the hard way. She grew up in El Salvador where her father was a lawyer and teacher and her mother was a doctor. Monica’s mother suffered from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a nervous system disorder which caused her a lot of weakness and pain. The disease often left her bedridden and kept her from playing an active role in the family’s daily routines. Monica was grateful to have her at home and had lots of other support. The school just across the street from her house where she was a star student, the beloved church where she started teaching Sunday school at age 9, and her best friend’s house a block away were the center of Monica’s childhood. As pervasive gang violence began striking closer and closer to home, when Monica was 15 her family decided to leave everything behind to try to start a better life in the United States. Almost immediately, the American Dream wasn’t what they’d expected. Monica, her parents, and her older brother and sister moved in with an aunt and other family members in Montgomery County, Maryland. Monica— who only knew a few words
in English—was enrolled in a large high school where even other Hispanic students teased her about her accent. For the first six months she avoided speaking in school at all. Her aunt had worked for years to secure legal residency for Monica’s family. But her father discovered that being a lawyer and a teacher in El Salvador did not translate into a good job here. It took more than a year for him to find a job as a janitor. Her mother’s health took another turn for the worse and there wasn’t enough money for the health care or medicine she needed. Before long her parents decided to separate and her mother and brother returned to El Salvador leaving Monica hopeless: “Everything that I had left was my family and now it was destroyed. In less than one year my life had turned meaningless and worthless for me.” In an unexpected twist a sport Monica had never played before was about to help turn her new world around. Monica is 6’3”, and word traveled to the girls’ basketball coach about the new student in school. “I was in my ESL [English as a Second Language] class, and the coach got close to me, and I was like, ‘Why is a tall woman talking to me? I don’t understand anything of what she’s saying.’ . . . I just told her that I didn’t speak English [and] that I had never played basketball before. And she said, ‘I don’t mind. I’m going to teach you. If you want to, you can try'.” Somehow, Monica
agreed. “At the beginning it was hard because I didn’t know what side of the court I was supposed to run—I just knew that I had to throw the ball to the basket. That was it. I didn’t know the rules. I didn’t know why the referee was whistling. I didn’t know anything. But I went to practices. I started playing. I started practicing [on] my own because I really liked it . . . I don’t know how, but I did it, and that gave me more confidence in myself.” Being part of the team also gave her a new set of friends and a lot more practice learning to speak to and understand her teammates, and her growing confidence on the basketball court translated to more confidence in the classroom. As her English improved she was moved out of her ESL classes into regular ones and then from regular classes into honors courses. Today, less than two years after beginning school in
Maryland, she has taken Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses and has a 4.0 grade point average. She’s also a starter on the varsity basketball team. She was recently honored with one of the Children’s Defense Fund’s Beat the Odds® Awards for how much she has overcome. Monica is giving back to others. Her favorite service activity is directing the children’s ministry at her church and she’s helped other young immigrants, including some of the children who arrived fleeing violence in Central America this past summer. “I feel thankful to God to have my residency and everything, but I also try to help people, because I think being in English as a Second Language helped me understand and meet people that were going through and struggling with the same things I was . . . I might not understand the whole thing
about being an immigrant, but I understand part of it, which is getting used to a new country, a new language, new friends. So every time I see people that are coming, I try to help them. I try to encourage them not to drop out of school, to keep going, to continue studying, to do their best.” Despite all her challenges, Monica sees a happy future for herself and shares more about what she’s learned about thankfulness: “Maybe my family is not going to be back together again, or my life is not going to be the same again, but if I only thought about that I would be grumpy the whole time . . . I have to learn how to love what I have right now, and the blessings I have right now. . . It’s important to know how to love, because if you don’t love, you’re not happy.” Marian Wright Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund whose Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

No indictment for Officer Darren Wilson in shooting death of Michael Brown
Clayton, Missouri — The grand jury voted not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch announced Monday, November 24, 2014 at the Justice Center, 107 days after the shooting death of unarmed, black teenager Michael Brown Jr. sparked widespread protests here and across the nation. The grand jury, which started deliberating in midAugust, included six white men, three white women, two black women and one black man. A majority vote of nine was needed to indict Wilson. According to St. Louis County spokesman Ed Magee, grand jury testimony will be made available to reporters online at 10 p.m. ET. In a speech ahead of McCulloch’s announcement, Gov. Jay Nixon called for “peace, respect and restraint” from the community. He made a similar plea in a conference call with clergy leaders earlier in the day. Brown, 18, was shot and killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in broad daylight on Aug. 9, following an altercation that ended with Wilson shooting the unarmed teenager at least six times, autopsies revealed. Police say Wilson, who is white, shot the black teen in selfdefense after Brown reached for the officer’s gun through the window of the police
car. Brown’s body was left in the hot street for hours before it was removed from the scene. Fo r e n s i c evidence, published in The New York Times and attributed to unnamed sources, suggested the first shots were fired from inside Wilson’s vehicle. A half-dozen eyewitnesses have said publicly that they saw Brown flee to later turn and put his hands up in surrender as Wilson fired the final fatal shots. But a government official who spoke on condition of anonymity told NBC News’ Pete Williams that Wilson said the teen turned and charged back toward him after running from the vehicle, at which point Wilson feared for his life. The grand jury’s decision has been long-awaited by Ferguson, a largely black St. Louis suburb, including those who have protested in support of Brown for more than three months. Business owners, school leaders and residents have been taking
steps to prepare for possible unrest, with many businesses boarded up and some local school systems closed. Last week, anticipating the grand jury decision, Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency and preemptively mobilized the National Guard to help support local law enforcement efforts in the event of mass demonstrations. The move has been blasted by critics as presumptive and dangerous, foreshadowing violence by protesters before the first chant could be heard. Concerns over a potential non-indictment blared early and often, from the streets of Ferguson where thousands took up the cause of justice for Mike Brown and other African Americans
shot and killed by police, to the steps of McCulloch’s office in Clayton, where the grand jury met in secret and on their own schedule. The Ferguson area has been largely quiet in recent days as the hot days of summer chilled into fall and the frigid snap that gripped the city in the days before the announcement. Some veterans of the Ferguson protests have said they’ll avoid the streets the first day or night after the announcement, avoiding any spontaneous outpouring for more intentional acts of civil disobedience. The Ferguson National Response Network, a broad coalition of rights organizations, list planned demonstrations in nearly 100
American cities and dozens more in cities across Canada following the grand jury’s decision. The slain teen’s father last week asked for peaceful protests in his son’s name. “No matter what the grand jury decides, I do not want my son’s death to be in vain,” Michael Brown, Sr. said in a video posted to YouTube. “I want it to lead to incredible change. Positive change. Change that makes the St. Louis region better for everyone. We live here together. This is our home. We are stronger united.” The following morning, Attorney General Eric Holder released a video of his own. Holder also called for peace and nonviolent protests as he announced new guidance for law enforcement officials about how to maintain peace while also respecting potential protesters’ constitutionally protected rights. In the four-minute video Holder, never mentioning Ferguson by name, also speaks of what the Brown killing and subsequent protests revealed about how far America still must go. “Over the past few months, we’ve seen demonstrations and protests that have sought to bring attention to real and significant underlying issues involving police practices, implicit bias, and pervasive community distrust,” Holder said.

National Epilepsy Awareness (Conclusion) In the conclusion of articles highlighting awareness, this week this writer will place emphasis on Epilepsy Awareness.* Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the nervous system. Epilepsy is also known as a seizure disorder. It is usually diagnosed after a person has had at least two seizures that were not caused by some known medical condition. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, epilepsy affects about 2 million people in the U.S. and is characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Delayed recognition of these seizures and inadequate treatment increases the risk for additional seizures, disability, and decreased healthrelated quality of life and, in rare instances, death. Although epilepsy can occur at any age, the condition is more likely to begin among children less than 2 years of age and adults older than 65 years. Epilepsy facts provided by the National Epilepsy Foundation indicate: • 65 million: Number of people around the world who have epilepsy.
• Over 2 million: Number of people in the U.S. who have epilepsy. • 1 in 26 people in the U.S. will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime. • Between 4 and 10 out of 1,000: Number of people on earth who live with active seizures at any one time. • 150,000: Number of new cases of epilepsy in the U.S. each year. • One-third: Number of people with epilepsy who live with uncontrollable seizures because no available treatment works for them. • 6 out of 10: Number of people with epilepsy where the cause is unknown. As do many who live with other chronic disorders, those with epilepsy often face challenges related to managing epilepsy treatment, symptoms, disability, lifestyle limitations, emotional stress, and stigma.

What’s Happening?

What will you find during Medicare Open Enrollment? October 15 - December 7, 2014 Your health needs change from year to year. And, your health plan may change the benefits and costs each year too. That's why it’s important to review your Medicare choices each fall. Compare your current plan to new options and see if you can lower some costs or to find a plan that better suits your needs. Open Enrollment is the one time of year when ALL people with Medicare can see what new benefits Medicare has to offer and make changes to their coverage. Whether you have Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ll still have the same benefits and security you have now: • Certain preventive benefits – including cancer screenings – are available at no cost to you when provided by qualified and participating health professionals. The annual wellness visit lets you sit down with your doctor and discuss your health care needs and the best ways to stay healthy. • Medicare will notify you about plan performance and use its online Plan Finder to encourage enrollment in quality plans. • In 2015, if you reach the “donut hole” in Medicare’s prescription drug benefit, you’ll get a 55 percent discount on covered brand
name drugs and see increased savings on generic drugs. It’s worth it to take the time to review and compare, but you don’t have to do it alone. Medicare is available to help. • Visit Medicare.gov/finda-plan to compare your current coverage with all of the options that are available in your area, and enroll in a new plan if you decide to make a change. • Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) 24-hours a day/7 days a week to find out more about your coverage options. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048. • Review the Medicare & You 2015 handbook. It’s mailed to people with Medicare in September. • If you have limited income and resources, you may be able to get Extra Help paying your prescription drug coverage costs. For more information, visit socialsecurity.gov/i1020 or call Social Security at 1-800-7721213. TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778. • Get one-on-one help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). Visit Medicare.gov/contacts or call 1-800-MEDICARE to get the phone number. This message is brought to you by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM MEDICARE
“I found a better deal on prescriptions.”
“We found lower co-pays.”
“I found a plan that works better for me.”
WHAT WILL YOU FIND DURING MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT? You’ll never know unless you go. Compare your current plan to new options. See if you can lower some costs or find a plan that better suits your needs. Many people do. Even if you like your current plan, check to see if the costs or coverage are changing at medicare.gov. Or call 1-800-MEDICARE for help.

Bob Evans CEO honors his Milwaukee family with UWM scholarship
Henry and Dolores Davis never had the opportunity to go to college, but they now have a scholarship named in their honor, thanks to their five children – all University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee graduates. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Alumni Association recently awarded their youngest son, Steven A. Davis, its Lifetime Achievement Award. Davis, who is now chief executive officer of Bob Evans Farms, Inc., in turn celebrated the hard work and encouragement of his parents in his acceptance speech for the award and announced the scholarship. Henry Davis died in 2013, but Dolores Davis was present at the Nov. 14 Alumni Association Awards event. “They saw a vision for their children,” said Davis, who earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from UWM in 1980. “They were my role models.” Henry Davis not only worked hard, but also was active in his community and church, said Steven Davis. Dolores Davis had received a scholarship to attend Cardinal Stritch College (now University), the first African American woman to do so. But because of her own mother’s illness, she made the difficult decision to turn down that opportunity to help raise her siblings, said Davis. “She became the wind beneath the wings for oth-

Following in the footsteps of his older siblings, he found encouragement and support for his goals at UWM. “I had four high achievers ahead of me,” he said proudly. “At UWM, I not only got the chance to study business, but to work in business,” said Davis, who has spent his career using innovation to
transform retail foods into nationally known brands. The UWM Alumni Association gives the Lifetime Achievement Award to recognize an alumnus/alumna for exemplary achievements over the span of a lifetime. Like many UWM students at the time, Davis not only worked his way through school, but also was able to participate in internships with local companies such as Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. “I was able to apply what I
was learning in class to what I was doing with the company.” As a working student, a key resource for Davis was the university’s 24-hour-library. Often he’d go to class, work, nap and then head to the library at midnight or 1 a.m. to study. Davis attributes the broad, general background he received in business along with supportive faculty for his career success. Two of his professors took the time to write strong letters of rec-
ommendation when he applied to the University of Chicago, where he earned a master’s degree. In addition to heading Bob Evans, Davis worked with Kraft Foods for nine years and Pizza Hut for 14 years. He also sits on the board of a number of companies, including Walgreen’s and Marathon Petroleum. In 2005, Black Enterprise Magazine named him one of the 75 Most Powerful Black Men in American Business. Davis lives in New Albany, Ohio and he and his wife Lynnda give back to the community. She is very involved with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and he serves as a board member for the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital, Operation Feed, which supports the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, and Jobs Ohio. (Ohio governor John Kasich videotaped a message shown at the Alumni Awards ceremony congratulating Davis on the award and thanking him for his leadership in Jobs Ohio.) The scholarship Davis and his family established will provide support for other first-generation minority university students. Henry and Dolores Davis provided him the encouragement, Davis said, and UWM gave him the opportunity: “UWM is where the American dream really does happen.”

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT Decorated military veteran finds new career at Walmart™ On Veterans Day, Walmart announced that it has hired more than 1,185 veterans across the state of Wisconsin in the first 18 months of its Welcome Home Commitment. This initiative guarantees a job offer to any honorably discharged veteran within his or her first 12 months off active duty. In an effort to support our nation’s military and military families, Walmart’s hiring effort has connected 67,861 veterans with employment opportunities across the country to date. With more than one million service members exiting the military in the next five years, many will face significant challenges with unemployment and transitioning back to civilian life. Walmart is committed to addressing that problem by encouraging veterans to pursue a career with the company. Ed Alvey, a local Milwaukee resident, is one of the many
veterans across the nation that has taken advantage of Walmart’s longstanding commitment to the military. Alvey, a current member of the military who can be called in for duty at anytime, enlisted in the Army Reserve in 1999. After joining as a fire fighter, he graduated from flight school to earn the rank and title of Blackhawk Pilot and Chief Warrant Officer. In 2003, Alvey was awarded a Bronze Star for Heroism for his unwavering commitment to the military. Despite being an outstanding soldier, Alvey still had to face the
challenge of finding employment upon his return home. Furthermore, Alvey needed a career that was supportive of his military schedule as he can still be called into duty at any time. After researching several opportunities in the city, he decided to pursue a career at Walmart. “I love the fact that Walmart has allowed me to go back and forth [between military and civilian duties],” said Ed Alvey. “As a result, I can continue to grow my career in retail and as a leader for my country.” During his 15 years with

the company, Alvey has been deployed twice and attended flight school. However, his store is supportive of his service and allows him to transition seamlessly between obligations. Alvey cites Walmart’s support of veterans as a key reason for his continued career success. “I recommend any veteran who wants a career with a supportive company to complete an application,” said Alvey. “I have been promoted several times since I was hired and plan on spending the rest of my working career with Walmart.”
In 2014, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation doubled down on its commitment to veterans by pledging an additional $20 million through 2019 to support veteran employment and transition programs. In 2011, the Walmart Foundation pledged $20 million through 2015 to help veterans and their families get through those challenges with assistance from programs that provide job training, transition support and education.

Giving your family a healthy head start
Mealtime might just be the most challenging part of being a mom. Healthy kids require healthy foods. But how do you choose nutritious foods – and how do you get your kids to eat them? Lashell decided her daughter would start getting the right nutrition even before she was born. She’d heard that the Wisconsin WIC Program would be there for her before, during and after her pregnancy – to teach her how to make mealtimes healthier, and to provide help to buy nutritious foods. “I started with WIC when I was pregnant,” Lashell says. “They give you one-on-one coaching. I learned more and more. It was really helpful to me, especially when I
was breastfeeding. I wanted to know what I’m supposed to eat and drink, and what I was not supposed to. Like, I didn’t know that when I was pregnant I shouldn’t eat things like hot dogs, fast food, or canned food because of the preservatives. They’re experts at knowing the right foods.” Baby Londyn is ten months old now, and WIC has been there for Lashell every nutritional step of the way. The monthly food vouchers, she says, help create a healthy family menu. “You get vouchers for things like bread, peanut butter, milk, juice, tuna and eggs – and fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmers market. I usually didn’t eat fruits and
vegetables on a daily basis. WIC provides so much healthy food, and a lot of variety, so Londyn will know more different foods. Squash is one of her favorites, and now she’ll even eat broccoli,
the hardest vegetable to get a kid to eat.” It’s a menu that is everchanging. “I’ll have to figure out what she might like,” she says. “If it’s something I never had, I’ll get it and try it. If she doesn’t like it, I’ll let them know on our next visit. They work with me to find things that work for us.” As little Londyn grows, WIC will be there for her and her mom. We’re here for you, too, providing food and nutrition information to help keep pregnant women, infants and children under five healthy and strong.

How to keep those holiday pounds off
The period between Thanksgiving and the New Year should be marked as a Diet Danger Zone on calendars. It is filled with homemade cookies, an abundance of alcoholic beverages, candy, prime rib, fruitcake, and cheese. No wonder the average American gains a pound or more every holiday season. Many approach the holidays certain that they can avoid overeating. How much damage can a couple of parties do? The sad fact is you will gain weight unless you take action. And now is the time to act. In an effort to help people help themselves before it is too late, Amy Moore, an assistant professor of nutrition and dietetics and Ethel Frese, an associate professor of physical therapy and athletic training, at Saint Louis University teamed up to offer some strategies for dealing with the threat of holiday food. Stay off the holiday weight gain express Their two-pronged approach starts with getting some control over your holiday eating and uses exercise to help prevent those inevitable extra calories from becoming excess pounds. “Even the healthiest eaters need to exercise and the best exercisers need nutrition, ” says Moore. “Nutrition and exercise provide the one-two punch for holiday weight management.” Be choosy During the holidays, we're all offered foods we don't see the rest of the year. Grandma's Christmas cookies will not be around in a month, so have them but pass up the brownies and sugarsweetened soda that might otherwise tempt you. They're always available. Unless you offset all those extra calories, you'll gain weight. It's that simple. The best first line of defense is to cut out other high-calorie
foods that you normally eat so your overall calorie intake stays the same. Holiday parties mean platters and platters of food. Be selective, Moore advises. The order in which you see food influences what you eat. A study of people who went through a typical breakfast buffet found that simply by changing the order in which diners saw the food reduced the number of people who chose bacon from 54 percent to 5 percent! Load up on low-calorie foods first like veggies (watch the dip), Moore advises. They're filling and can help prevent over-indulging on high-calorie foods. Be mindful The holiday period is the season of mindless eating. It's easy to park yourself in front of a bowl of chips and finish them all as you watch a game on TV or engage in conversation at a party. Mindless eating can add pounds to your waistline. As always, pay attention to what — and how much — you eat. Avoid the holiday food trap by making sure you put food on a plate, so you can see what and how much you have before you start eating. Savor every bite. At gatherings, the St. Louis team suggests that once you've taken some food, step away from the table and mingle with the other guests. The holidays are supposed to be about family and fellowship. Food is just a bonus. Plan ahead Some people approach parties and buffets like a military campaign. They skip meals so they can pack away even more tasty food than they would normally. Don't do that. Planning is good. But don't
skip meals so you can eat more later. In fact, eating a small snack to take the edge off your hunger before facing a table full of rich food is a good idea. Bring something healthy along with you if you are heading to a potluck, so you're sure to have at least one healthy option. Fruits — pomegranates, clementines, blueberries — are colorful party foods that are tasty, nutritious and unlikely to spend a lifetime on the hips. The other guests will be happy that you brought something healthier, too.
Make water your new best friend Alcohol is not your only beverage choice. Moore suggests alternating a glass of water with every alcoholic beverage to pace yourself as you celebrate and prevent a next day hang-over. Water is a good choice for non-drinkers as well, offering a no-cal substitute for sugar-sweetened drinks. That's also true for everyday eating: Instead of sweet tea or soda with a meal, choose water. Alternate a glass of water with every alcoholic beverage to pace yourself as you celebrate and prevent a next day hang-over. For people who are shy about walking around a party with an obviously non-alcoholic drink, club soda with a slice of lime fools them every time. Or consider creating a wine spritzer by adding sparkling water to your wine. Because drinking water fills you up, it is a favorite dieter’s trick, Moore says. Water also does good things for your digestive system, skin, muscles and kidneys. (Continued on pg. 19)
WIC Mealtime Tips
• Families who eat together tend to eat healthier meals. Set a family goal to eat at least one meal together every day. • Serve meals at the table. • Sit at the table with your child during snack time. • Talk about happy or fun things during meals. • Children eat better with routines – offer 3 healthy meals and 2 snacks at about the same times each day. • Offer children child-size servings. • Allow your child to serve themselves from the serving bowls, whenever possible. • Ask your child to taste foods, but don’t force them to eat all of it. • Let everyone decide how much to eat. Your child is learning to eat when hungry and to stop eating when full. • Allow your child to spit out a food they do not prefer. • If your child refuses to eat a certain food, a similar food may be offered at the next snack. • Even if your child is not eating, make sure they are at the dinner table during mealtimes. • Eat with the television off.

‘The Lion King’: First-rate family entertainment By Jacquelyn D. Heath Special to the Milwaukee Times

An idyllic existence, indeed… And then, tragedy strikes. Scar’s plot to depose his brother is successful and Mufasa is killed in a wildebeest stampede. Due to an act of willful disobedience and being at the wrong place at the wrong time, Scar is able to convince the other animals that Simba caused Mufasa’s death. Thoroughly ashamed and dejected, Simba takes Scar’s advice and leaves the pride. While in self-imposed exile in the desert and jungle, a confused Simba forges an unlikely friendship with Timon, a wisecracking meerkat, and his pudgy pal Pumba, a warthog. They introduce Simba to their carefree philosophy of “hakuna matata,” and encourage him to forget about whatever happened in his past and look forward to the future. Years pass and Simba learns a different way of life. However, he is often haunted by Mufasa’s memory and wonders why his father has forsaken him. While hunting for food, a grown-up Nala is about to make Timon and Pumba her dinner, when Simba comes to their rescue. Simba is surprised and happy to see his old friend; while Nala is surprised and shocked to see that Simba is still alive, contrary to Scar’s stories that Simba was dead.
Nala reveals to Simba that life in Prideland is very depressed under Scar’s selfindulgent rule. There is no food or water and everything is out of balance. She begs him to return, rescue his homeland and assume his rightful place as king. With the help of Rafiki, the mandrill who is also Prideland’s resident shaman and spiritual leader, Simba returns to Prideland to confront Scar. From the moment the animals parade through the audience to the stage at the beginning of The Lion King, the audience is immediately engaged in the action of the play. Creative scenic design recreates the changing African landscape – waterfalls, rivers, lush grasslands, dense forests, clouds, the desert, the jungle, and the rising sun. Lighting design effectively transmits the changing moods of the story – birth, death, danger, love, adventure, betrayal and redemption, among them. Perhaps the standout creative star of the production is the combination of masks, puppetry, hair, makeup, costumes and choreography employed in bringing the animal characters to life. The synchronized, flowing grace of the lionesses on the hunt is like watching a ballet troupe. Gazelles glide effortlessly over the grasslands thanks to a bicycle-like device; while buzzards circle ominously overhead suspended from poles. The combina-

memorable thanks to a musical score that includes such radio-friendly tunes as “The Circle of Life” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” The award-winning stage production owes much of its creative genius to a behindthe-scenes team lead by Julie Taymor (director/costume and puppet design), Michael Curry (mask and puppet design), Donald Holder (lighting), Richard Hudson (scenery), Garth Fagan (choreography) and Michael Ward (hair and makeup).

© Disney
The Disney Company long ago put the animated feature film on the list of not-to-bemissed family entertainment genres. With The Lion King – first released as an animated feature film in 1994 – Disney has proven once again that they can apply their imagination and creativity to turn their popular film into a firstclass stage musical production in its own right. The Lion King is a simple tale that children of all ages and their parents can enjoy and share. It is the story of Simba, a young lion and his journey from precocious, curious, carefree cub to rightful heir to his father’s throne as king of the African savannah and leader of all the animals. The story begins as all the animals of Prideland assemble at Pride Rock to pay homage to King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi upon the birth of their cub Simba. All of the animals present themselves and show respect to the Royal Family, with one exception. Scar, brother of King Mufasa, is noticeably absent. He is found jealously lamenting his brother’s position as king and, moreover, the birth of an heir which further prevents Scar’s succession to the throne. Scar conspires with a gang of hyenas to kill Mufasa, banish Simba, and become king by default. While Scar tries several attempts to remove the obstacles to his advancement, the bond between father and son deepens. Mufasa tries to teach Simba about balance, values, making decisions, the proper use of power, the difference between bravery and bravado, and the responsibility he will someday have as king. As with most fatherson relationships, Mufasa is alternately proud, amused and disappointed by his son’s behavior. Simba is awestruck and totally absorbed by his father, all he does and represents. Simba also forges a friendship with Nala, a female cub. They share their growing understanding of
tion of a costumed actor operating a life-sized puppet gives Timon the meerkat his comic personality. Zazu, the colorful hornbill, is also a costumed puppeteer who offers his wisdom and counsel to Mufasa as the king’s chief advisor. Pumba, the lumbering warthog with a flatulence problem, comes to life as Timon’s sidekick thanks to an actor wearing a body puppet. Rafiki, the mandrill, features makeup recreating the colorful face and body of this ape, as well as the beads and talismans of an African shaman. Mufasa, Sarabi and Simba wear masks that resemble crowns and makeup inspired by Maasai warriors. Contrast that with Scar and the hyenas, whose makeup and costuming depicts them as deformed, depraved and deceitful. The Lion King also remains
