Photos by Yvonne Kemp

On Friday, November 30, 2018, the Sherman Park neighborhood celebrated the grand opening of the Sherman Phoenix, 3536 W. Fond du Lac Ave., a unique marketplace built by the community after the riots of 2016. The project, developed by Juli Kaufmann (center photo, right) and Jo Anne Johnson-Sabir (center photo, left), aims to foster change by transforming the eastern gateway to the Sherman Park neighborhood in Milwaukee into a safe, welcoming space that supports small businesses-of-color offering diverse foods, wellness services and cultural activities. The project will also act to provide mentorship and coaching to help entrepreneurs of color grow their businesses. Small business own-

ers like Honey Bee Sage Wellness and Apothecary's, Meshika Stewart and Angela Mallett (right photo, from left) who want to grow their business to generate jobs and support the local economy. The Sherman Phoenix is a model for healing our city by generating positive economic and social returns in communities of color. To symbolize this, the project chose the former BMO Harris Bank building that was heavily damaged by fire during the riots of 2016 to be the focal point of the new Sherman Park neighborhood that will feature high quality spaces for small businesses-of-color, as well as spaces for art exhibits, film showings, and cultural events.

Being Frank

By: Frank James Special to the Milwaukee Times

Misery is not to be shared

Once again it is the giving season in America. All around the USA people are shopping for gifts to give to others or themselves. Stores are holding sales and malls are staying open late to meet the increased buying frenzy that has taken the nation. There is one gift or item that people seem to want to give that no one should accept. People in the USA love to share their misery. If a person wants to stay sane, misery is one gift that should be rejected. I often ask people, “How can you be upset with a gift? It is free.” In many places the refusal to take a gift is considered the epitome of bad etiquette. In other regions of the world the refusal of a gift is an insult that can only be rectified by violence. Well, I’m here to say that if someone is offering a gift of his or her misery, reject it no matter what the social implications. Misery is just that, misery; and most humans create enough of their own

to not be picking up someone else’s. Society has formed these social institutions: relationships and family, that often lead to the sharing of misery. I am not saying that both of the aforementioned situations do not bring happiness. I am saying these two situations can easily become a wealth of misery. The way US society is set up people are supposed to accept the misery that so often comes with these two situations. I say enough is enough. Maybe your grand parents toughed it out and stayed married for 50 loveless years but it’s 2018; why should you? You have children and love them but you also have to love yourself. Once they get grown let them keep the misery they foment; a parent is not obligated to pick up their child’s misery. That is why there are such things as psychiatrists.

Reject the gift of misery. I see both older and younger people miserable with their family situation. The need to hold on to people who are hell bent to destroy themselves either through actions or thought is insane. There are parents who are mentally tortured by their grown children’s misery. The misery comes in various forms of actions and talk. For some unfathomable reason these parents think that by giving attention to their child’s foolishness they are helping the child. All these parents are

doing is a perverse form of enabling the child. Free yourself, parents. Let these misery-troubled children go to the psychiatrist, while you go on vacation. Also parents, tell the child to take the grandchildren with them. Grandparents, be free; you have done your time. Reject the tainted gift of misery. The concept of relationships in the USA is a joke at best. I know a guy who was in a relationship who said the only time he could talk to his female partner was if he lied and played miserable. Don’t laugh, this is a true statement. People in this country do not know how to be happy in relationships. For some reason people think the more they argue or disagree, the relationship is more real. It is like Eckhart Tolle said, “We're fighting. The relationship is real.” People are scared to step out of the

norm. Women and men sit in groups and share misery about their man or woman love interest like it is normal. If the relationship isn’t working then give it up. If you are in a relationship and are doing great in your field, don’t be brought down by your partner's misery. There are billions of people on the planet-tell the miserable person to take their misery gift and hit the door. Well, I better wrap this up. I don’t want to share the misery of long-windedness. Think about what was said and reject the misery gift this Holiday Season.

Leadership and Brotherhood Summit for young men of color The Milwaukee Public Schools Department of Black and Latino Male Achievement (BLMA) is actively engaged in a community-wide effort to support the leadership development, enhance the academic success, and affirm the cultural identity and dignity of Black, Latino, and First Nations male youth. As part of BLMA’s second year of programming, a summit was hosted

at Marquette University for 250 MPS youth. Students toured the campus, took part in panels and workshops, and participated in activities for personal growth. Attendees had time to reflect on their personal goals and learn how to map their path to success and also heard from expert speakers about ways that personal growth has the potential to ty. Students were presented impact the entire communi- with examples of youth lead-

ership and encouraged to support a cause that impacts themselves, their families, or their neighborhoods. Sessions available to students offered topics such as financial security, college admissions, youth activism, criminal justice reform, masculinity, servant leadership, civic pride, and being an individual of positive influence. Topics were selected based on the 2018–19

theme, "Brothers United for Change." “It’s absolutely critical that the male youth of Milwaukee see successful leaders who look like themselves,” said Lanelle Ramey, Director, Black and Latino Male Achievement. “Our young men need to know that their potential is unlimited. This summit helps them wrap their arms around future possibilities.”

New winter coats go to 7,000 MPS students winter gear. Being in school every day is critical for students to achieve success; but in some parts of the city, attendance dips along with the temperatures. Most MPS students walk to school or ride a bus, requiring them to be outside

for periods of time. Warm winter gear ensures that students are safe in the cold weather and can come to school every day.

In between fighting fires and saving lives, the local heroes of the Milwaukee Fire Department (MFD) somehow found time to raise funds, go shopping, organize, and deliver 7,000 new winter jackets to students in Milwaukee Public Schools. An assembly was held at Nathaniel Hawthorne School to distribute jackets as well as

Spotlight on Health

Brought to you by:

Access to care a responsibility of us all Op-Ed submitted by: Reggie Newson Chief Advocacy Officer, Ascension Wisconsin

surers participating in the exchange, with 12 insurers offering plans. And the average premiums in the Wisconsin exchange declined in 2019. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues to extend coverage to people without insurance and make coverage more secure for those who have health insurance. Subsidies and cost sharing assistance continue to be available to those who qualify. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the uninsured rate dropped during the first quarter of this year, falling to 8.8 per-

Enrollment in HealthCare. gov, the website showcasing Wisconsin’s health insurance exchanges, is down this year when compared to last year. As of November 24, there were 62,150 individuals who had selected plans, compared to 78,269 at this time last year. Wisconsinites who do not have health insurance have one more week to choose the insurance plan that makes the most sense for them as open enrollment closes December 15. The time to act is now. The good news? Our state ties for having the most in-

cent from 9.1 percent in 2017. It is a national and moral imperative that we keep those numbers moving in the right direction, which is down. Take action today

to protect yourself and your loved ones from the potentially devastating impact of unexpected illness. At Ascension, we remain committed to 100 percent access and 100 percent coverage in the communities we serve as we deliver on our Mission to provide compassionate, personalized care to all. Caregivers at our more than 2,600 sites of care across Ascension have seen more people than ever before receive the care they need, with fewer struggling to pay for it. While the ACA is not

perfect, the number of uninsured Americans continues to decrease, which is better for them and their families, the communities in which they live, and the nation as a whole. Healthcare coverage increases individual and family security; helps workers stay healthy, and provides opportunity for those who are most vulnerable. As a healthcare community, promoting health and wellness is central to what we do. If you don’t currently have insurance coverage, please go to Healthcare.gov and sign up for the plan that is right for you. The December 15 deadline is approaching fast - act now.

Managing your diabetes during the holidays One of the toughest times of year for any diabetic to face is the holidays! With all the cookies, treats, rich foods, and drinks, the carbs and sugars can easily sneak into your diet and send your blood sugars soaring. You have to be more prepared to manage your diabetes during the holidays than anytime during the year. Here are some great tips and tactics to help keep those numbers low this holiday season.

Remember the basics Stay on track by taking medications on schedule and choosing healthy versions of favorite dishes. Remember to plan daily physical activities, like walking after meals and dancing at festivities. Having diabetes shouldn't stop you from enjoying holiday celebrations and travel. With some planning and a little preparation, you can stay healthy on the road and at holiday gatherings with friends and family. Preparation is the most important step in managing diabetes during holiday travel and festivities. Know what you'll be eating, how to enjoy a few traditional favorites while sticking with a healthy meal plan, how to pack necessary supplies for a trip, and you're ready to celebrate! Feasts and parties Before you go, take these steps to ensure you stick to your healthy meal plan. • Eat a healthy snack early to avoid overeating at the party. • Ask what food will be served, so you can see how it fits into your meal plan. • Bring a nutritious snack or dish for yourself and others. You don't have to give up all of your holiday favorites if you make healthy choices and limit portion sizes. At a party or holiday gathering, follow these tips to avoid overeating and to choose healthy foods. • If you're at a buffet, fix your plate and move to another room away from the food, if possible. Choose smaller portions. • Choose low-calorie drinks such as sparkling water, unsweetened tea or diet beverages. If you choose to drink

alcohol, limit the amount, and have it with food. Talk with your health care team about whether alcohol is safe for you. Limit it to one drink a day for women, two for men, and drink only with a meal. • Watch out for heavy holiday favorites such as hams with a honey glaze, turkey swimming in gravy and side dishes loaded with butter, sour cream, cheese, or mayonnaise. Instead, choose skinless turkey without gravy, or other lean meats. • Look for side dishes and vegetables that are light on butter, dressing, and other extra fats and sugars, such as marshmallows or fried vegetable toppings. • Watch the salt. Some holiday dishes are made with prepared foods high in sodium. Choose fresh or frozen vegetables with no sauce to keep your sodium intake down. • Select fruit instead of pies, cakes and other desserts high in fat, cholesterol, and sugar. • Focus on friends, family, and activities instead of food. Take a walk after a meal, or join in the dancing at a party. Traveling for the holidays Leaving home to visit friends and family means changing routines. Take care of your diabetes while traveling. Check your blood glucose (sugar) more often than usual, because changing your schedule can affect levels. • Remember your medication. • Pack twice the amount of diabetes supplies you expect to need in your carry-on bag, in case of travel delays. (Continued on pg. 12 )

What's Happening

Diabetes and the holidays (Continued from pg. 11) • Keep snacks, glucose gel, or tablets with you in case your blood glucose drops. • Make sure you keep your health insurance card and emergency phone numbers handy, including your doctor's name and phone number. • Carry medical identification that says you have diabetes and wear medical identification jewelry. • Keep time zone changes in mind so you'll know when to take medication. • If you use insulin, make sure you also pack a glucagon emergency kit. • Keep your insulin cool by packing it in an insulated bag with refrigerated gel packs. • Get an influenza vaccination before traveling, unless your medical provider instructs otherwise. Healthy routines Wash your hands often with soap and water. Try to avoid contact with sick people. • Reduce your risk for blood clots by moving around every hour or two. • Pack a small cooler of foods that may be difficult to find while traveling, such as fresh fruit and sliced raw vegetables. Pack dried fruit, nuts, and seeds as snacks. Since these foods can be high in calories, measure out small

portions (¼ cup) in advance. • If you're driving, bring a few bottles of water instead of sweetened soda or juice. If you're flying, choose unsweetened beverages onboard. • If you're flying and don't want to walk through the metal detector with your insulin pump, tell a security officer that you're wearing an insulin pump and ask them to visually inspect the pump and do a full-body pat-down. • Place all diabetes supplies in carry-on luggage. Keep medications and snacks at your seat for easy access. Don't store them in overhead bins. • Have all syringes and insulin delivery systems (including vials of insulin) clearly marked with the pharmaceutical preprinted label that identifies the medications, in the original pharmacy labeled packaging. • If a meal will be served during your flight, call ahead for a diabetic, low fat, or low cholesterol meal. If the airline doesn't offer a meal, bring a nutritious meal yourself. Wait until your food is about to be served before you take your insulin. • When drawing up your dose of insulin, don't inject air into the bottle (the air on your plane will probably be pressurized). • Stick with your routine for staying active. Get at least 150 minutes of physical activity every week. Ten minutes at a time is fine.
