Milwaukee worst city in nation for African Americans Abele backs African American Office proposed by Supervisor Khalif Rainey

By: Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times A proposal by Milwaukee County Supervisor Khalif Rainey to create a Milwaukee County Office of African American Affairs received unanimous support from the County Board’s health and human needs committee on October 28, 2015, but in an exclusive interview with The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper, Supervisor Rainey said he began thinking about how to introduce the legislation after the passage of Wisconsin’s Act 14 prohibited the Milwaukee County Board from creating new departments. He also reached out and did research because his goal is a results-driven model that can be used over time to rebuild the entire Central City of Milwaukee.

“By just about every indicator Milwaukee is the worst place to be an African Amer-

ican,” he said. “Not Alabama or Mississippi, but Milwaukee. That’s shameful and it’s time for all of us to roll up our sleeves and address these issues.”

Supervisor Rainey and Milwaukee Alderman Willie Wade held a press conference with State Representative Leon Young (D-Milwaukee) pledging to work for the creation of an office on African American Affairs at every level of state government in Wisconsin prior to the start of the county health and human needs committee on October 28.

Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, who does have the authority under Act 14 to create new county agencies, said in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he would support the creation of the office.

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

Lena Taylor 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 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 enforcement 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.”

Editorial: Understanding adoption key to encouraging public support for this vital institution The past generation has witnessed dramatic changes in the social and cultural landscape regarding the adoption of children. The experience of birth mothers has changed, and so has the experience of adoptive couples. Yet in spite of changes and some challenges, adoption in the United States remains robust. It remains the best option for the lives of children who — for a countless variety of reasons — need a family and a home.

Every adopted child lives with the question of why he or she was adopted. At some point that child will wonder, “What caused me to leave the care of the mother and father who gave birth to me?”

And while there are as many answers to that question as the number of children who are adopted, it remains vital to preserve and strengthen the institution that permits a child to be legally adopted into a new family.

In understanding adoption, it’s helpful to look at differences among the key three categories: domestic adoptions within the United

States; international adoptions, and adoptions through public child welfare agencies.

U.S. domestic adoptions numbered 133,737 in 2007, the most recent year for which numbers are available, according to the National Council for Adoption.

Of those, 76,489 were to non-relatives — the highest percentage in more than 40 years. Over the decades, adoption has gone up, down and up again. The total number of adoptions rose from 72,000 in 1951 and peaked at 175,000 in 1970. It declined to 108,463 in 1996 until rising to its current number.

According to the council’s Adoption Handbook V, “Unrelated adoptions as a percentage of total adoptions have comprised half or less than half of all adoptions since 1971, but rose to 57 percent in 2007. The substantial increase in unrelated adoptions may reflect a larger U.S. population, greater acceptance of the adoption message, more childless couples, and/or other factors.”

The numbers of international adoptions didn’t become significant until the

mid-1990s, the same time as a sharp decline in domestic adoptions. The 2003 total of 21,320 was the largest in 36 years. It’s dropped dramatically since then: only 12,753 immigrant-orphans were adopted in 2009, the most recent year for which data is available.

Finally, there are adoptions through foster care and the involvement of state public child welfare agencies. But these numbers are hard to come by because of differences in state practices. The National Council for Adoption estimates an annual total of 50,000 for the last decade, up from 26,000 in the mid-

1990s. There have been further increases over the past few years.

Although there have been recent declines in the number of teen pregnancies, and in the rate of abortion, the percentage of children born out of wedlock remains as high as it has ever been: 40.7 percent in 2013, according to the National Vital Statistic Reports.

Yet from the perspective of a birth mother, the decision to make an adoption plan hasn’t been as compelling as it was in previous years. Less than 1 percent choose adoption, versus 53 percent who choose to raise the child, and 45 percent had abortions.

Birth mothers who decline to abort their unborn children, and who make a plan for their child’s future, now have the opportunity to play a significant role in selecting the family that will adopt the child. Agencies and counseling services play an important role in supporting these birth mothers. The interconnectedness of our world today means that adoptions in which the birth parents meet and know something about

adoptive parents has become the norm. This openness provides important benefits for all parties — birth parents, adoptive parents and children who are adopted.

No matter how much adoption changes — whether domestic, international or through foster care — we must never forget that its benefits need to be measured against the best interests of the child. That standard is the guiding principle undergirding the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: governments “that recognize and/or permit the system of adoption shall ensure that the best interests of the child shall be the paramount consideration.”

Given the strong benefits to children, and the continued need to find loving mothers and fathers for children, we urge policymakers and all people to continue to support a robust system of legal adoption. When it comes to adoption, there is no right to adopt; just the responsibility to care for those children with whom we are entrusted by nature or by law.

African American men in their 30s have served prison time, according Supervisor Rainey.

"This is the issue of our time,” Supervisor Rainey said adding that he and other County staff studied other municipalities which had created a department to improve quality of life for African Americans and they settled on a hybrid of two models: one in Washington, D.C., and the other for the State of New Mexico.

Supervisor Rainey said initially he envisioned a three-person office which would exclusively focus and avoid duplication among different agencies that pro-

vide assistance to African Americans. One of the three persons in the proposed office would be a grant writer whose purpose would be to help raise seed money and explore public-private partnerships, an idea championed

by Governor Scott Walker.

Governor Walker was asked about the creation of the new office by a reporter for The Milwaukee Times on October 29 and said he was not familiar with the details of the program, but that he was favorably inclined toward public-private partnerships as a means of addressing social problems and making state revenue stretch further.

our society. The margins are areas of time/space in which people have just enough on which to survive or to just get by. They have no leeway or room for anything to go wrong. For people “living along the margins” in our economy is just as much of a way of life and how things will continue to unfold in this 21st century.

There are a number of reasons and contributing factors why people are living there; for some it is by choice, complacency and some because of circumstances. Some find themselves being marginal-

ized because of their race, criminal history or disenfranchised from participating in the political process. Additionally, many people find themselves there due to living in poverty, homelessness, low wages, incurable mental illness and physical disabil-

ities.

In addition, others are struggling with drug additions, domestic violence, discrimination, illiteracy or overcoming long term traumatic experiences from military service.

In spite of how, why and when people begin “living along the margins,” there is a need for acknowledgement of this reality and that those trapped along these “edges” cannot be ignored. This concept demands that people have equal rights and opportunities, regardless of who they are, where they live and where they come from.

whites waited until the blacks were ready to go for anything they gave them to assimilate.

Then the whites integrated the schools. The antelope got the lion to give them their cubs.

If you look at the school system from this standpoint then it is not a failure. The system is doing just what is created to do. It is shaping African American children into menial jobs, slavery. To work for minimum wage and either go to prison or the strip club for work doesn’t take a Harvard degree. This is the result of blindly giving your children over to people who have their own best interests in mind.

Educated for poverty If a lion takes his cub to the antelope and tells him to raise him to be a lion, what do you think the antelope will do? Will the antelope raise the lion to be a fierce hunter?

Is it in the best interests of the antelope to have the cub grow up to be king of the jungle? More importantly, is it in the antelope’s offspring's best interest to have the cub grow up to meet their potential? No. Why, then, do African Americans expect Caucasians to train their children to be rulers of society?

The graduation rate difference between whites and blacks in Wisconsin is substantial. The numbers 92 percent white and 66 percent black tell the story. Some will say that this means the school system is failing. Others will ask what can be done? But what needs to be looked at is the paradigm of society.

America uses the pyramid model. This means there is more room at the bottom than the top. Looking back at the lion and antelope scenario, the graduation numbers make sense.

For hundreds of years African Americans have sought to guilt-trip white Americans into helping them. African Americans have attempted to beg, plead and coerce whites into saving them.

The whites have looked the other way and pretended to not hear black pleas. But the whites were listening. The

Living along the margins In the minds of many, the standing of any great nation should not be found in how large its economy becomes, the projected power of its standing military, the amount of scholars it produces, the size of its manufacturing base…but should be measured by how it treats its people regardless of their socioeconomic status. Regardless of where you travel in America, from big cities, the 'burbs, villages, rural and small towns...you can find people and families “living along the margins” in our economy. This is considered living outside the “normal” or “mainstream” or on the “edges of society.”

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." President Wilson commemorated the celebration of the first Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with grat-

itude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"

Later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first Veteran’s Day Proclamation on Tuesday, October 12, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower called upon “all of our citizens to observe November 11… as Veterans Day and on that day let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let

us re-consecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.”

Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls.

The observance of Veterans Day on November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Beloved, one of the greatest tributes we can give a

veteran is to say thanks.

Let’s honor those who serve, those who have served, those who have fallen and those who continue to fight for our rights and freedom around the world. Let’s pray for the safety of these men and women in the military, honor them for their sacrifice and pray for the strength of their families who await their return. _____________ This Veterans Day join grateful Americans all across our nation to thank a veteran for their service. _____________ “True heroism is remarkably sober, very un-dramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever costs, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”

choose between your child and a black one, which would you choose? Better yet, if African Americans were on top and white people on the bottom what would they do?

You can’t blame whites for ensuring their children stay on top, anything else would be foolish.

Does this mean the school system should be abandoned? No. African Americans are in too deep. This means that the people who should be held responsible are the parents. It is up to the parents to ensure their child can read, write and do math. The parent is the one who needs to step up and ensure their child knows how to interact civilly with others.

Politicians and ministers will say anything for a vote or an offering; there is no help there. Parents are the key to changing the paradigm.

Of all the people in my life, from beginning to the end, You’ve been a special blessing, my dear and faithful friend.

You’ve filled my life with laughter, shared sorrows, joys and tears; You’ve stood by me and held my hand, walked with me through the years.

When I needed someone to listen, I knew you would always be there; When I weathered the storms of life, You were always the one who cared.

So in the circle we call life, from beginning to the end, I was blessed to have you beside me, my dear and faithful friend.

Riverworks Development Corporation commissioned the new public art project “Milwaukee Superheroes” by Milwaukee-based artist Jasmine West. The mural consists of 18 dedicated cultural leaders who have contributed immensely to the City of Milwaukee. Cultural leaders featured on the mural include: Congresswoman Gwen Moore; civil rights activist The Honorable Vel Phillips; Ald. Milele Coggs; Sen. Lena Taylor; Ald. Ashanti Hamilton and several community activists, including Andre Lee Ellis, Maria Hamilton, Father Steve Jerbi, Reuben Harpole, Torre Johnson, Tamara Johnson, Darryl Johnson and more. The unveiling took place on Sunday, November 1, 2015 at 3:00 p.m., at 117 W. Keefe Ave. Artist Jasmine West says, “This mural is designed to inspire, influence and teach our neighborhoods and youth the essence of a superhero…and we wish to highlight these Milwaukee cultural leaders to expose our children to those who gave to the black community.” The artist (center) is surrounded by many of the cultural leaders featured on the mural. The project was made possible with the support of the CarMax Foundation and Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation.

Board OKs expansion for Spanish Immersion School, creates strong standalone Morse middle school, full Italian immersion at Victory and lower tax levy Expansions of successful programs are part of MPS' Regional Development Plan; 17 percent of taxes labeled as MPS actually go to fund vouchers The Milwaukee Board of School Directors on Thursday, October 29, 2015, approved expansions of strong programs tied to the Regional Development Plan. Specifically, the Board: • Approved a new second site to expand MPS' successful Milwaukee Spanish Immersion School; the move addresses strong interest in the program, which has a waiting list, and reopens a currently unused school building. Starting in fall 2016, MSIS' early childhood grades (K4, K5, 1st) will be located in the former 88th Street School, 3575 S. 88th Street, Milwaukee 53228; and the older grades (2nd-5th) will remain at the current 55th Street site.

• Approved creating a strong standalone gifted and talented middle school program by moving the middle school from Morse Marshall School

Milwaukee Spanish Immersion School for the Gifted and Talented to the former Burroughs site at 6700 N. 80th Street, Milwaukee 53223, effective fall 2016. The middle school will feature SpringBoard pre-Advanced Placement curriculum. Moving the middle school program provides room for it to grow and space for the high school, which will remain at 4141 N. 64th Street, Milwaukee 53216, to

grow as well.

• Approved transitioning Victory School to a full Italian immersion program beginning with K4 in fall 2016. The change means immersion students will learn their core subjects such as math, science and social studies in Italian as is the practice at MPS' French, German and Spanish immersion schools.

The Italian immersion pro-

gram at the school, 2222 W. Henry Avenue, Milwaukee 53221, will provide citywide transportation effective fall 2016 as well, matching what is offered at MPS' other immersion schools.

• Approved a new partnership between Pulaski High School and Carmen High School of Science and Technology-South Campus, bringing the two schools together in one building to improve student achievement, school environment and teaching and administrative practices. The partnership at the Pulaski Campus comes as the district continues to embrace the urgent need to improve student outcomes, particularly at the high school level.

In other action, the Board also approved a lower tax levy for 2015, with the overall levy decreasing by about 0.5 percent compared to 2014.

Local eye care specialists answer top 6 questions about diabetic eye disease

By Cheryl L. Dejewski

The levy continues to include a unique burden for Milwaukee taxpayers: the state requires Milwaukee Public Schools to fund a portion of the cost of school vouchers even though the state does not allow MPS to count those students for aid purposes.

This situation compels MPS to levy additional taxes to cover the cost, which for 2015 makes up 17 percent of MPS' tax levy. A phase-out approved by lawmakers has already begun, but Milwaukee taxpayers will wait more than a decade for the funding flaw to disappear under the plan.

The slightly lower levy will leave the tax rate largely unchanged. Initial estimates show the owner of an average home - valued at $98,935 - would pay about $18 more in school taxes compared to last year.

New location for November, December meetings of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors and its committees The November and December meetings of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors and its committees will be held at Neeskara School, 1601 N. Hawley Rd., due to renovations at the MPS Central Services auditorium. These renovations, which are designed to improve access and functionality of the space, will replace outdated, and increasingly incompatible, technologies that span 60 years — from the 1950s through the end of the 20th Century — with modern, more efficient equipment.

The meetings that will be held at Neeskara are: November • Committee on Parent and Community Engagement (PACE) – November 12 – 5:30 p.m.

• Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation (SASI) – November 12 – 6:30 p.m.

With diabetes at epidemic levels, you probably know (or are) one of the 29+ million Americans with the disease. Whether or not the cause is due to lifestyle (poor diet, lack of exercise), genetics or both, be aware: Diabetes does more than affect blood sugar levels. Without proper precautions, it can rob a person of their sight. And, if you are black, you have up to a three times greater risk of losing vision to diabetes than a white person.

“We would like to give all members of the black community a chance to protect their vision by educating them about the importance of early detection and treatment,” says Mark Freedman, MD, senior partner at Eye Care Specialists, a leading ophthalmology practice that has served the vision care needs of more than 130,000 Wisconsinites since 1985. To help achieve this goal, their team answers the following questions.

1. How does diabetes affect the eyes?

“With diabetes, fluctuating and high blood sugar levels

Diabetes can cause abnormal retinal blood vessel growth, leakage and bleeding that leads to blurring, dark spots, and loss of vision. can cause the blood vessels that nourish the retina in the back of the eye to become weak or abnormal. This leads to leakage and bleeding that can blur vision and permanently impair sight,” reports Brett Rhode, MD, Head of Ophthalmology at Aurora Sinai Medical Center and a partner at Eye Care Specialists, an ophthalmology practice that specializes in the care of diabetic patients.

“For some people, when a routine vision check-up uncovers signs of retinopathy (damage to the retina), it is their first clue that they even have diabetes.”

2. What are the symptoms of diabetic eye disease?

Usually, none. Most peo-

ple don’t notice a problem until retinopathy is so far advanced that lost vision can’t be restored. That’s why annual dilated eye exams are crucial. Also, call your doctor immediately if you notice vision changes in one or both eyes (not associated with fluctuations in blood sugar), numerous floating spots (like spider webs), or a veil over your vision.

3. How is it detected?

“Diabetes-related changes in vision can sometimes temporarily affect vision or occur so gradually that people don’t notice or take action. But, even if a person’s vision appears to be good, serious significant damage may be present and progressing. That’s why diabetic eye disease can

only be diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination that includes pupil dilation (enlargement with drops) to best see inside to check the back of the eye for early signs of retinopathy,” explains Daniel Paskowitz, MD, PhD, an ophthalmologist with credentials from Harvard and Johns Hopkins.

David Scheidt, OD, an optometrist and 20-year member of the Wisconsin Diabetes Advisory Group, adds, “Diabetes-related sight loss is often preventable with blood sugar control, yearly exams and early intervention.

But all of our expertise, equipment and treatments are of no use if patients don’t come in for regular eye check-ups.”

4. Am I at risk?

“Diabetic eye disease can appear as early as a year after the onset of diabetes, and up to 45 percent of people with diabetes have some degree of retinopathy (damage to the retina),” says Daniel Ferguson, MD, a partner at Eye Care Specialists, where tens of thousands of diabetic patients receive comprehensive care. “All diabetics—Type 1, Type 2, insulin-dependent or not—are at risk, which increases with the number of years you have diabetes. And, because blacks have up to triple the risk of developing diabetes than whites, the threat of vision loss is correspondingly higher. That’s why we can’t stress enough the sight-saving benefits of annual eye exams.”

5. How is diabetic retinopathy treated?

“When treatment is necessary, we have been very pleased with the success of medications (such as Avastin, Eylea and Lucentis) that can be painlessly injected into the eye to decrease blood vessel leakage and inhibit abnormal new growth—thus staving off progression of diabetic

eye disease. We evaluate each patient’s response individually to determine if and when (about every 4-12 weeks) they should receive injections. As a result, we have seen amazing results, including not only stabilization of vision, but in some cases, improvement in sight,” reports ophthalmologist Michael Raciti, MD, a local leader in the fight against diabetic eye disease.

6. Should I be screened for diabetic eye disease?

Do you have diabetes? Was your last eye exam more than a year ago? If you can answer “Yes” to those two questions, then it’s time to have your vision checked. Keep in mind that appointments are often covered by insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. If these options are not applicable, arrangements can usually be made to accept cash, check, credit card or financing plan payment. “Don’t hesitate.

It’s an opportunity to ensure that you see life to the full-

est—now and in the future.

And, remember, EVERYONE should have their eyes checked every two years after age 40 for other conditions, like glaucoma, that may be causing permanent vision loss without you even noticing it,” advises Freedman.

new programs are “aimed at addressing the prescription drug abuse and heroin epidemic.”

The widespread use of these socalled “opioid” drugs -- pills such as Oxycontin, Vicodin and Percocet, along with heroin -continues unabated across the United States.

One study, reported Oct. 13 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, outlined the scope of the problem. It found that the rate of fatal overdoses from prescription narcotics has almost doubled -- from 4.5 out of every 100,000 Americans in 2003 to 7.8 per 100,000 by 2013.

The new federal government initiative will work in partnership with dozens of groups representing “providers” -- doctors and other health care staff who are gatekeepers for prescription narcotic painkillers. Some of the groups involved include the American Medical Association, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Nurses Association, American College of Emer-

gency Physicians, American Society of Addiction Medicine and the American Pain Society.

Groups like these will work with the federal government to help more than 540,000 health care workers undergo training specific to opioid prescriptions, the White House said. Another 4 million health care providers will be targeted for “awareness messaging” on better prescribing practices.

There will also be funding to double the number of health care providers certified to dispense drugs such as naloxone and buprenorphine, which help addicts wean themselves from opioids.

Major drug store chains are getting involved as well, the White House said. For ex-

ample, CVS Health will now widen ease of access to naloxone across more states, and Rite Aid plans to train 6,000 more pharmacists on naloxone use over the next year. Similar efforts are underway by groups representing pharmacists nationwide.

With regard to law enforcement, police organizations nationwide are ramping up efforts to educate members about how to either prevent or spot/react to overdoses from heroin or prescription painkillers, according to the White House.

The government’s new initiative also includes reaching out to major media to get its message out to the public.

For example, networks such as ABC, CBS, Turner Broadcasting, and print outlets such as The New York Times are donating $20 million in advertising space or air time to an anti-drug campaign from the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, the White House said. WebMD, Medscape and the popular Dr. Oz show are also planning to devote more space and airtime to the issue.

Schools are a major focus of the campaign, so groups

representing school athletics and PTAs are a prime focus of the new initiative, the White House added.

Finally, numerous government agencies -- including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the office of U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy -- are all initiating new efforts focused on reducing prescription drug and heroin abuse.

Earlier in October, Murthy announced that his office’s first-ever Surgeon General Report on substance abuse, addiction and health is slated for publication in 2016.

In a statement released Wednesday, Dr. Patrice Harris, chair-elect of the American Medical Association, said that the group is “extremely pleased that President Obama is undertaking initiatives to halt the nation’s opioid crisis.”

“As physicians, we know that it is our responsibility to help provide a clear road map that will help bring an end to this epidemic,” Harris said.

“And we are dedicated to showing the leadership our patients need and deserve to once-and-for-all bring an end to this public health crisis.”

rus, Grohskopf said.

That happened because the virus that experts predicted to be the predominate one changed, and the new H3N2 virus was not included in the vaccine, she explained.

This mismatch caused a severe flu season, especially for the very old and very young, and led to a record number of hospitalizations for flu among the elderly, Grohskopf said.

This year’s vaccine contains the new H3N2 strain.

And although it’s too early to tell which strains will be predominant, Grohskopf added, it’s likely that last year’s H3N2 strain will still be the most common one around.

This year’s vaccine also includes two other strains that are expected to be around as

ing to the CDC. October is the ideal time to get vaccinated, Grohskopf said. But it’s never too late, even after the flu season starts, she added.

“The important thing is to get the flu shot,” Grohskopf said.

Dr. Marc Siegel, an associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, called flu a community disease.

“It’s not all about you,” he said. “You want to create a ring of immunity, so don’t just do it for yourself, do it for other people around you.”

To help prevent flu, Siegel also advises staying home when you have the flu, washing your hands often and covering your cough.

“Stop being afraid of the flu shot -- be afraid of the flu,” Siegel said.

The iPhone 6S and iPad Pro are cool and all, but the Apple gadget that I was most looking forward to this fall was the new Apple TV. It is, quite notoriously, the device that Apple has most publicly neglected over the years. Its last big update was way back in 2012, when Apple finally added 1080p support. And even that third-gen Apple TV wasn't too exciting, since it looked exactly the same as the one released in 2010. So yah, it was about time Apple totally rethought its approach to TV. Everything about the new Apple TV feels different: The device itself looks like two of its predecessors stacked together. On the rear, there are HDMI, Ethernet and USB-C ports (sorry, optical audio fans). Instead of the minimalist silver remote Apple has relied on for years, it sports a larger wireless remote that looks like a strange combination of iPhone and MacBook design.

There's a touchpad on top that feels about as smooth as a MacBook's touchpad, and the bottom half is covered in glass, reminiscent of the iPhone 4. It has buttons for voice search, "Menu" (which mostly serves as a back button), and "Home," as well as play/pause and volume but-

to flu vary from year-to-year, but have gone as high as 49,000 deaths in a year, the CDC says.

Pregnant women are also at increased risk from the flu, Grohskopf warned. And it’s vital that women with newborns get their flu shot to help protect their infants who can’t be vaccinated until they are at least 6 months old, she said.

How effective the vaccine is in preventing the flu depends on how good a match it is to the strains of flu virus circulating that year. Most years, the vaccine is between 40 to 60 percent effective, according to the CDC. Last year, the vaccine offered little protection against the most common flu strain that circulated, an H3N2 vi-

well.

Plenty of vaccine should be available, Grohskopf said.

Manufacturers are expected to produce 170 million to 179 million doses.

The vaccine is available in a variety of forms, including a shot, a nasal spray and an ultra-thin needle, called an intradermal flu vaccine. People allergic to eggs can get an egg-free vaccine, and seniors can get a high-dose vaccine, Grohskopf said.

The vaccine is safe, she said. “You can’t get the flu from a flu shot,” Grohskopf said. However, side effects from the flu vaccine may include fever and muscle aches, according to the CDC. People can get their flu shot at their doctor’s office, at many pharmacies and even at work. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for the body to develop protection from the flu, accord-

The start of flu season is just around the corner and U.S. health officials are urging everyone aged 6 months and older to get their yearly flu shot.

The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and those around you from getting the flu, said Dr. Lisa Grohskopf, a medical officer in the influenza division at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Flu is a serious illness,” she said. “Most people are going to feel very ill for a time and will get better without any bad things happening, but we can’t predict who is going to get super sick.”

Grohskopf said that those who are likely to get very sick and run the risk of complications, including hospitalization and death, are people 65 and older, very young children and people with chronic health problems such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes and those with weakened immune systems.

“But even younger, healthy people can get seriously ill,” she said.

The most common complication from flu is pneumonia, Grohskopf said.

In a typical flu season, flu complications -- including pneumonia -- send more than 200,000 people to the hospital. Death rates linked

President Barack Obama on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 announced a major new initiative aimed at fighting the ongoing epidemic of prescription painkiller and heroin abuse.

Speaking Wednesday in Charleston, WVA -- an area hit hard by the crisis -Obama said that heroin and prescription drug abuse is widespread and “could happen to any of us.”

As reported by USA Today, Obama noted that “120 Americans die every day from drug overdoses,” and most involve prescription drugs. “That’s more than from car crashes,” he added.

Now, dozens of major medical groups, leading pharmacy chains, law enforcement agencies, media outlets and anti-drug groups will take part in the new government-led effort.

In 2016 alone, $133 million is earmarked towards the initiative, the White House said in a statement.

“Prescription drug abuse and heroin use have taken a heartbreaking toll on too many Americans and their families, while straining law enforcement and treatment programs,” the White House said in a statement. The

and began digging. Could it have been due to the color of Hamilton’s skin?

It’s possible, White says, but in “Prince of Darkness,” he also indicates that the lack of documentation may’ve been because Hamilton rankled white financiers and investors, and didn’t appear to care that he’d done so. That insouciance, in light of the racism that Hamilton surely endured, would be an interesting story itself but White embellishes the tale with an abundance of history and extensive biographies of other influential people of Hamilton’s time. That’s good – to a point – but it occasionally can also makes this book deadly dull. I found my mind wandering much more than I might’ve liked.

So is this book worth reading? I think so, but you may want to give it a rest now and then to regenerate yourself.

Start it, take a break, repeat as necessary and you might find “Prince of Darkness” to be just the ticket.

In The Kitchen

Movie Time

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

Your numbers weren’t picked last night.

Ah, another worthless lottery ticket. No shopping spree or mortgage payoff for you. You’ll have to go to work and get your incredible wealth just like everybody else. Or, as you’ll read in “Prince of Darkness” by Shane White, you could become rich the old-fashioned way: through grift.

Though he showed up in New York City in the wake of scandal, nobody knew for sure where Jeremiah G. Hamilton had come from. Some sources said he was born in the Caribbean - which he admitted to, but he also claimed Richmond, Virginia, as his first home. Nobody knew, though, because Hamilton, an African American man, spent most of his adult life hiding facts and creating fiction.

Wherever he got his start, Hamilton launched himself early: in 1828, and “barely into his twenties,” he was involved in a counterfeit scam in Haiti that would’ve meant death, had he been

Thanksgiving will be here sooner than your think. If you're still trying to figure out what kind of turkey to buy or how to even cook it? Here’s what you need to know. Here are the two secret turkey tricks no one ever told you about. And, don’t forget to truss your turkey for even cooking using our handy-dandy guide.

Over the past week, we’ve shared 5 steps to help you get to a picture-perfect turkey. With Thanksgiving only 2 days away, it’s time to bring it all together into this post, our 2015 Complete Guide to Cooking a Turkey with everything from choosing to dry-brining to trussing, roasting, and carving in one place with step-by-step photos to guide you every step of the way.

It’s your year to be a Turkey Ninja, and we’re here to help.

Timing The rest of this post goes into a lot of detail to make sure you’re well-equipped but if you want to set yourself a schedule ahead of time, here’s what to do: • 2-3 days ahead: Wash, dry, salt, and season the turkey • Night before or morning of cooking: Remove from fridge, dry, and air-dry in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight • 1 hour before cooking: Remove turkey from fridge and allow to come to room temperature • Cooking: Estimate 15 minutes per pound • Resting: Allow 30 minutes • Carving and crisping: 30 minutes So, if you want to have dinner at 6 p.m., aim to have the turkey out of the oven at 5 p.m., and work backwards from there.

Let’s get started.

Choosing a turkey

First, we need to make sure that we’re starting with the right “raw materials” because our final product is only going to be as good as what we put into it. There are many choices for a Thanksgiving turkey. One of the most popular choices is a fresh, natural, organic, free-range turkey. If you can afford to splurge on a heritage turkey, by all means do so, but what we recommend is a delicious bird that won’t break the www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

bank. Regardless, your goal in this endeavor is to let the natural flavor of the turkey shine through so buy the best you can afford.

Prepping the turkey (2-3 days ahead) Most store-bought turkeys come with a couple of things that we need to take care of.

First, reach into the cavi- to smoke or deep fry your ty and take out the neck (it bird (if you’re awesome like looks like a long curved piece that) but for the right balance of final product quality (read: deliciousness) and realistic preparation, our technique is DRY-BRINING. Dry-brining is a technique of liberally coating your turkey with salt and spices for several days in the the fridge.

During that time, the salt will penetrate the meat flavoring of bone with some meat at- it down to the bone and caustached). Set it aside. Then, ing it to retain its moisture, you may notice a plastic or keeping it juicy during roastmetal thing holding the legs ing. And, the salt pulls out all together, which you need to of the extra moisture in the remove. Unhook the legs skin, meaning that you’ll end then wiggle the hook around up with crispy deliciousness. until it fully comes out.

Here’s how to do it: Next, turn the turkey with First, sprinkle your washed the legs pointing away from and dried turkey with a liberyou and look for a little bag al amount of kosher salt. with the giblets (the heart, Don’t forget the inside as liver, etc.).

Rub the be left with your turkey and 3 other pieces – the plastic hook that holds the legs together, the neck, and a bag of giblets. Your turkey may also have a little plastic plug (what they call a “thermometer”) stuck into the breast.

If it does, pull it out and discard.

Seasoning your turkey spices into the turkey all over.

Put into a clean plastic bag (a brining bag works great for this) and store on a baking sheet or a plate on the bottom shelf of your fridge for 2-3 days. Turn the turkey over every day and drain off any liquid that may be released.

Air drying - (1 day before) The next thing you need to The next step in the prodo is thoroughly wash your cess is to make sure that the turkey inside out in the sink skin crisps up in the oven with cold water. It’s import- by ensuring that every last ant to dry it completely, both drop of moisture is out of inside and out. One of the the skin. On the morning of tricks we use to make sure Thanksgiving, remove the we get the inside totally dry is turkey from the bag and pat to stuff the cavity with paper dry with paper towels.

Place the turdrip of water. key back on a baking sheet You’ll see a lot of guides or plate and refrigerate, unout there that praise wet covered, for at least 4 hours brining as the ultimate tech- or up to overnight. The cold nique to getting a juicy and dry air of the refrigerator will perfectly cooked bird. Don’t evaporate any moisture that forget, there’s also the option is left.

Bring to temp (1 hour before cooking) Remove the turkey from the fridge 1 hour before you’re ready to start roasting and allow it to come to room temperature.

Trussing In order to make sure that the white meat and dark meat cook to the right temperature (and for a beautiful final presentation), trussing is the way to go. By tying up the turkey into a more compact package, the breast meat won’t overcook while the thigh is getting perfect. Here’s how to truss your turkey in under 3 minutes with butcher twine – you can do this as it’s coming to room temperature. No butcher twine? In a pinch, you can use unwaxed (and unflavored) dental floss.

After you’ve trussed the turkey, squeeze a couple of big chunks of onions, celery, carrots, lemon, and parsley into the cavity to help flavor the turkey from the inside out.

Roasting

Finally, it’s time to put the bird in the oven – preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. If you have a V-shaped roasting rack, great, use that. If not, no worries, you can make your own by simply scrunching up a long piece of aluminum foil into a figure 8. The goal is to raise the turkey off of the bottom of the pan so the hot air can circulate evenly around it while allowing the juices somewhere to drip without soaking the bird.

One of our tricks to making sure that the skin crisps up all over is to start the turkey upside down with the breast facing down. We like to sprinkle some chunks on onion, celery, and carrots around the roasting pan to flavor the drippings.

Roast the turkey at 425F for 30 minutes then remove.

Turn the oven down to 325F. Using a couple of kitchen towels, carefully flip the turkey over so the breast is facing up and return to the oven. Cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165F, about 15 minutes per pound. Since every oven is different, you want to start checking the temperature 3045 minutes before your calculated time just to be sure.

Double check the temperature of the breast – it should

be around 155F. Resting If you’ve ever watched a cooking show, you’ve probably heard this a million times, but cutting into a large cooked piece of meat right after it comes out of the oven is one of the worst things you can do! Allowing the turkey to rest, tented with foil, for 30 minutes will allow the juices to re-distribute and lock into the meat instead of spilling out everywhere.

Carving

You could always slice the turkey right off of the whole thing at the turkey but we prefer to remove and slice all of the pieces before serving. After showing off your whole roasted turkey to your guests, take it back to the kitchen for carving. Start by removing the legs, then the breasts, then the wings.

Since the turkey might have cooled down a bit while you were letting it rest, this is the perfect time to heat it back up and give a final crisp to the skin. Take your cut pieces, arrange them on a baking sheet, and place into a 500 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until the skin starts to crackle. Remove, slice the breast into pieces, separate the thigh from the drumstick, and serve.

Place the rested turkey facing away from you on a baking sheet or large cutting board.

Eating

Your hard work has finally paid off! What you’re left with is a juicy, tender, and crispy-skinned turkey that looks almost too good to eat…almost. With these tips, we hope that this year you’ll take over the turkey-roasting responsibilities and impress your guests with a photo-worthy Thanksgiving

November 5: A record number of nine African Americans were elected to U.S. House of Representatives on this day in 1968.

Along with eight men, Rep. Shirley Chisholm became the first black congresswomen. Sen. Edward W. Brooke (R-Mass.) had been elected two years previously giving African Americans a record total of 10 members of Congress. The previous record of eight occurred shortly after the Civil War when the Union Army still occupied the former Confederate states. Some of the victories in 1968 were the result of court-ordered redistricting, but not all of them. The following incumbents were reelected: William L. Dawson (Ill.), Charles C. Diggs (Mich.), Augustus Hawkins (Calif.), Robert N.C. Nix (Pa.) and John Conyers (Mich.) In addition to representatives Chisholm and Powell, others elected to the House of Representatives for the first time were Louis Stokes (Ohio) and William L. Clay (Mo.).

Bible Scripture for the week from The Book of Psalms O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage. Have compassion on me. Lord, for I am weak.

Heal me, Lord, for my body is in agony. I am sick at heart.

How long, O Lord, until you restore me? Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love. For in death, who remembers you? Who can praise you from the grave? I am worn out from sobbing. Every night tears drench my bed; my pillow is wet from weeping. My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies. Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my crying.

The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer.

May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame.
