County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic invites public to discussion on South Shore Park future

Free spring fishing clinics for kids

Milwaukee County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic will hold a public discussion on the future of South Shore Park at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15 at the South Shore Park Pavilion, 2900 S. Shore Dr. She will be joined by Milwaukee County Parks Director John Dargle at the neighborhood meeting. Dimitrijevic has worked since elected in 2004 to improve South Shore Park and reopen the public beach. She has brought millions in County funding to her district to repair the break wall, reconstruct and protect the shoreline, and enhance the Oak Leaf Bike Trail. In August of 2014, she helped accept a $500,000 contribution from MillerCoors which created a public-private partnership to improve water quality at South Shore.

Members of local fishing clubs will teach children the basics of fishing at the free Spring Fishing Clinics for Kids, Saturday, April 11, from 9 a.m.–3 p.m., at 11 Milwaukee County Parks. Children age 15 and under are invited to hands-on clinics featuring knot tying, safe use of fishing equipment, and instruction on proper fishing techniques. All fishing equipment will be furnished. The indoor instructional component of the program will go on no matter what the weather; the outdoor component is dependent upon the weather. Clinics begin on the hour, with the last clinic starting at 2 p.m. In addition to the basic clinic, cleaning and cooking the catch will be demonstrated at five of the parks. The parks are Brown Deer, McGovern, Mitchell, Scout Lake, and Wilson. Children age 6 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Parents are reminded to dress their children in warm layers. Pre-registration is not

Major improvements to water quality at beach planned

Studies have shown that the main contributor of poor water quality is the runoff from the county-owned parking lot. This has led to an increase in beach closures at South Shore. At Thursday’s County Board Meeting, Dimitrijevic successfully secured $1.6 million in County funding to improve beach

water quality by reconstructing the parking lot with porous pavement and installing pollution reduction techniques like rain gardens. The public meeting will also update residents on the progress of the Master Plan for South Shore Park and planned, expanded public concessions.

Fire and Police Commission sustains Manney’s firing By Steve Waring Special to the Milwaukee Times Part Two During the five-day hearing on the firing of Milwaukee Police officer Christopher Manney, a total of 20 witnesses were called. They included many of the police officers who participated in the investigation of the incident, three expert witnesses on behalf of Manney as well as three of his former supervisors who all said they would be willing to have him serve under them again. Manney also received about 40 letters of support from storeowners and other citizens he encountered on his beat. Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn testified for more than an hour on March 21 about his decision to fire Manney. He also testified again during closing remarks, leaving no doubt that he considered Manney unemployable. “This is a competence case,” Flynn said during the closing portion. “In this set of circumstances the em-

ployee’s blunders resulted in the death of an individual. What would I do with an officer who behaved at this level of incompetence? There is no role for him that I could envision.” The events leading up to the death of Hamilton were repeatedly discussed in court. Half of the courtroom was reserved for members of Hamilton’s family and their supporters. The other half was reserved for Manney and his. Both sides were generally filled to capacity in the small municipal courtroom. On the final day the Photo By Steve Waring hearing, which by then had exceeded its estigation, Flynn asked a commated three-day length, was mand-level Milwaukee police forced to go into session at officer to contact the Los the vast Centennial Room Angeles Police Dept.

Hamilton who was lying on the sidewalk near a temporary Starbucks coffee shop location in the park had been visited by two other Milwaukee police officers on two occasions in the hour before the fatal incident with Manney. Both of the other two officers testified that they found Hamilton to be cooperative when they employed the new policies regarding approaching and

searching a subject. After the second call the senior officer, Robert Fittchett, testified that he told the Starbucks manager that it was not the job of the police to push people out of public parks. Starbucks was located at the time in a temporary trailer while its store was undergoing renovation. During one of the first two stops, one of the officers checked to see if there were any warrants out for Hamilton. Officer Andrew Fuerto testified that Hamilton did have an outstanding municipal warrant, but Milwaukee Police Dept. policy generally discourages arresting homeless or economically distressed persons, so Hamilton was not taken into custody. Starbucks made a third complaint against Hamilton a little while later and by the time Manney got the call via a cell phone message from the police dispatcher, the original two officers who had spoken with Hamilton had ended their shift.

Alverno features a year of gracious persistence By Celia Jackson Special to the Milwaukee Times On Thursday, April 16, 2015 Alverno College will be hosting the viewing of the documentary Vel Phillips: Dream Big Dreams. This event is in collaboration with Wisconsin Public Television. For the past ten months, Alverno has embarked upon the theme of “gracious persistence” in a series of events to promote the film. It is a fitting description of the important role Ms. Phillips undertook during the height of the civil rights movement locally and nationally. We all know her story of being the “first” in numerous areas,

but we all may not be aware of the manner in which she stood up to her white male counterparts in the Common Council. Her courage and poise ignited the Black community to stand up to the blatant discrimination in Milwaukee’s housing. There is something extraordinary about being able to take a stand amidst such adversity and venom and to be able to do it in a graceful manner. We all celebrate the life and works of Ms. Phillips who has earned a place not only in the history books, but our hearts. The documentary will air in the Pitman Theatre at Alverno College, 3401 S. 39th

St., on Thursday, April 7, 2015 at 7 p.m. It will be followed by a talkback with Ms. Phillips and Peggy Rozga, wife of Fr. James Groppi. Milwaukeeans are very familiar with Fr. Groppi who led

many marches across the 16th Street bridge during the late ‘60s advocating for fair housing in Milwaukee. Alverno is also pleased to announce that its annual Social Justice Museum will be

available for viewing in Alverno’s Galleria. It will feature numerous aspects of social justice in our history including Mt. Mary’s Sisters of Freedom exhibit and photos from Wisconsin’s Black Historical Society, both which include photos of Ms. Phillips. We hope you will come and join us. The event is free and open to the public. Please register at alverno.edu/socialjustice.

Justice Bradley campaigns for another term

Pastor Donnie Sims of Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church is pictured here greeting Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley in his office on Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Justice Bradley's purpose for being there was to make a presentation to reelect her to another term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Justice Bradley spoke to an audience of 30 Milwaukee area pastors, ministers and business men and women. By Justice Ann Walsh Bradley Special to the Milwaukee Times For the past 20 years I’ve had the honor of serving you on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. During that time I’ve earned a reputation as a Justice who is fair, impartial, and willing to make the tough decisions. I have a proven record of standing up for the constitution and the rule of law; of applying the law to facts; of giving all who come before me a fair shake. As a Justice, my only agenda is to uphold the constitu-

four children. And those are the same values we imparted to them. In 1995 I became the third woman in history elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Over the course of my two decades on the Court, I have a proven record of applying the law, of upholding individual rights, making government open and accessible and holding government accountable. I’ve stood up to the influx of outside special interests and partisan politics attempting to play an outsized role in our non-partisan judicial system. I’ve worked day in and day out to ensure that every Wisconsinite gets a fair shake

when they come to court. Our Courts are at a crossroads here in Wisconsin. The infusion of partisan politics and out-of-state special interest groups with unknown donors and unlimited funds has increased precipitously over the past several judicial elections. The problem with partisan politics and out-of-state special interests is clear: they come with agendas that undermine the public’s trust and confidence in our courts. I have earned the support of more than 170 judges from every corner of this state. I also have broad bipartisan support including 130 sheriffs, police chiefs

and district attorneys and political leaders such as Republican former First Lady Sue Ann Thompson, Democratic Congressman Ron Kind, Republican State Senator Dale Schultz, and Democratic State Senator Tim Cullen. Like me, these distinguished community, law enforcement and legal leaders understand the importance of a justice system that is impartial, non-partisan, and not beholden to any special interest group, large or small. I truly believe that when I’m sitting on the bench, I’m standing up for the people of Wisconsin. It would be an honor to earn your vote on Tuesday, April 7, 2015.

tion and serve the people of Wisconsin. I believed that when I became a judge 30 years ago, and I believe it just as strongly today. It’s a belief that comes from deeply rooted values that I learned as a child growing up in western Wisconsin: family, fairness, hard work, and service to others. Those are the same values I took with me when I taught high school in La Crosse, and when I went to Wausau to practice law and serve as a Marathon County circuit court judge. My husband, Mark, and I still live in Wausau where we raised our

The Counseling Corner

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

Bible engagement: An essential discipline for spiritual growth (conclusion) The Counseling Corner has been addressing the issue of the importance of Bible engagement in response to this column’s loyal readers who urged this writer to address this topic. What is keeping you from engaging in the regular study of God’s Word? Is it busyness, not sure how to apply it to your life or is it because you believe the Bible is outdated, and not relevant to your life? All of God’s Word is inspired. While it may not appear to be relevant to your life to you at the moment, it does not mean God’s Word is not relevant. Each time you read, ask God to reveal to you His thoughts, desires and purpose (Psalm 139:1718). In the conclusion of this series, as you are studying the Bible, this writer will present the steps to follow in your study of God’s Word. (Source: “How to Study the Bible” by Grace to You Ministries, published at: www.gty. org). 1. Be literal. Seek to understand Scripture in its literal, normal, and natural sense. Although symbolism and fig-

ures of speech appear in the Bible, they will be obvious from the context. When you study apocalyptic passages in Zechariah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Revelation, you will read about beasts and images. Those are symbols, but they convey literal truth. Interpret the Bible in its normal, natural sense. Otherwise you're taking an unnatural, abnormal, nonsensical interpretation. Interpret Scripture in its literal sense, as you would any other piece of literature. 2. Know the context. The Bible must be studied in its

historical context. What did it mean to whom it was spoken or written? You must also study its literary context. How does the passage or verse you're studying relate to the surrounding text? It has been well said that a text apart from context is a pretext. 3. Compare your interpretation with the totality of scripture. This vital principle of interpretation is what the Reformers called analogia Scriptura, meaning that all Scripture fits together. One part of the Bible doesn't teach something that

another part contradicts. 4. Look for principles to apply. Reread the text and find out what spiritual principles there are that apply to you and fellow believers in Christ. You can do that only after you have literally interpreted your passage, analyzed its context and compared your interpretation with the totality of Scripture. Beloved, it is this writer’s prayer this series has been beneficial, enlightening and informative. God intends for His Word to be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Increasing your priority on God’s Word allows God to direct you, teach you how to walk and show you the way you should go (Psalm 119:105). You are challenged to read Gods’ Word regularly. Begin each time of study with prayer asking God to show you those things you need to confess (Psalm 139:23-24) which may be hindering your walk with Him. Then enter your time of study peacefully without any distractions that may hinder you from receiving the knowledge, wis-

dom and revelation that God has for you. Don’t forget to spend time in both the Old and New Testaments in order to receive and appreciate the full picture of God’s revelation to His people.

ATTENTION MEN: DON’T CUT YOUR LIFE SHORT. Take 5-10 Minutes to Save Your Life. African American men have the highest prostate cancer incidence rates in the world and are twice as likely to die from it than any other racial ethnic group. Despite these facts, Black men are less likely to participate in screening for prostate cancer than other men.

For more information or to find a doctor: 1-888-9-WHEATON mywheaton.org/MensHealth

One in six men in America will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Luckily, the disease progresses slowly, and if it is caught early enough, it’s one of the easiest cancers to beat. African American or Hispanic men, or men with a family history of prostate cancer should begin annual screenings at age 45. Please talk with your doctor about having a prostate screening. Only a few minutes can make a big difference. Making Our Community Stronger. Healthier. Better.

EXPLANATION The Wisconsin constitution currently provides that the chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court is its longest-serving member. The proposed constitutional amendment would instead select the chief justice through an election by a majority of the justices then serving on the Court.

The justice who is elected may decline to serve as chief justice or resign the position, but still continue to serve as a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. A “no” vote would mean that the longest-serving member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court serves as chief justice of the Court. The justice designated as chief justice may decline to serve as chief justice or resign the position, but still continue to serve as a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Efforts to expand strong academic programming, increase high-performing seats moving forward Regional Development plans progressing Milwaukee Public Schools’ work to expand successful academic programs and increase the number of seats in high-performing schools continues to move forward, as noted in an informational item presented to the Milwaukee Board of School Directors at its regular monthly meeting Thursday night. Since first presenting a conceptual overview of the Regional Development plans in December, the MPS has conducted parent and community outreach at both the district and school level along with survey work, administrative retreats and meetings and Board retreats and meetings focused on the work. Updates include: Pathways Projects An architect has been selected for the addition at Fernwood Montessori School, which is rated “Exceeds Expectations” on the state report card. The con-

More students taking AP exams

Wisconsin is ‘Best in the Midwest’ for AP performance More of Wisconsin’s students are graduating from public high schools having successfully completed college-level coursework, according to a recent report on the Advanced Placement (AP) program. For 2014 state graduates, 23.6 percent earned a score of three or higher on an AP exam compared to 22.2 percent of 2013 graduates. The College Board’s “AP Cohort Data: Graduating Class of 2014” ranked Wisconsin the “Best in the Midwest” for AP performance and among the top dozen states in the nation for the percentage of graduates who were successful on their endof-course AP exams. The state has seen 10.4 percent increase in AP performance over 10 years. “We’re heading in a good direction with continued growth and strong performance in the AP program,” said State Superintendent Tony Evers. “Overall, our public schools are doing a great job preparing our students to be successful on these college-level exams.” Of Wisconsin’s 2014 graduates, 19,858 took an AP exam during their high school career, which represents 33.6 percent of graduates. Those students took 55,085 AP exams in 34

which offers the rigorous college preparatory International Baccalaureate program. MPS Facilities and Maintenance is also working with the City of Milwaukee on the release of a new Request for Proposals for redevelopment of the southern portion of the Malcolm X site, which will be used for commercial or residential development. Planning is underway to develop the former 88th Street School as a second site for the district’s popular and successful Milwaukee Spanish Immersion School, whose math scores have grown to exceed the state average. Based upon feedback from a community input session held March 4 for Audubon Technology and Communication Center middle and high schools, the administration will not be moving forward with the project for the two schools. A draft lease is under review for the possible expansion of Universal Academy for the College Bound, a charter school that received the higher of two possible ratings on its initial state re-

port card, into the former Lee School site. Once negotiations are complete, the lease will be brought forward to the Board for approval Spotlight Projects The district has created a dedicated position to explore the viability of moving forward with creating a highperforming northwest-side middle school at the Burroughs site. Community Cornerstone Projects In January, MPS declared four former school properties as surplus: the Wisconsin Avenue, Wheatley, 37th Street and Frederick Douglass sites. MPS has forwarded a written communication to the City of Milwaukee requesting that it prepare Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for commercial or residential redevelopment of the sites, potentially adding to the city’s tax base. A full Recreation Facilities Master Plan was presented to the Board in February. The plan outlines a set of citywide projects to be undertaken over the next 10 years.

Five Star Food & Wine evening scheduled for Thursday, April 23 subject areas, and 68.1 percent of exams were scored three or higher on the fivepoint scale. Many students take multiple AP exams, but are only counted once as a graduate. Most colleges and universities grant credit, advanced standing, or both for students who are successful on an AP exam. The College Board estimates Wisconsin’s 2014 public school graduates and their families saved about $32.9 million in college costs through qualifying AP exams. The calculation assumes three credits for each AP exam scored three or higher and an average cost for in-state tuition and fees of $292.70 per credit. More than 1 million of the nation’s 2014 graduates took an AP exam during their high school careers. They represent 35.7 percent of the 2,936,834 graduates in the Class of 2014. The percentage of graduates nationwide who scored three or higher on an AP exam was 21.6 per-

cent. Students from low-income families represented 12.3 percent of Wisconsin’s AP exam‑takers for the 2014 cohort. For the Class of 2010, 8.1 percent of AP exam‑takers were from low‑income families. Wisconsin law requires that school districts pay the cost of Advanced Placement exam fees for students who are eligible for free or reduced‑price school meals under federal income guidelines. Many high schools offer AP courses as part of the established curriculum. Through the Wisconsin Digital Learning Collaborative, any student in Wisconsin can take AP courses online to supplement their school’s offerings. The collaborative — a partnership among Cooperative Educational Service Agency 9’s Wisconsin Virtual School, the DPI, and the Wisconsin eSchool Network — provides online and (Continued on pg. 15)

Old age or something else? Ten early signs of dementia Subtle short-term memory changes Trouble with memory can be an early sign of dementia. The changes are often subtle and tend to involve shortterm memory. Your elderly relative may be able to remember years past, but not what they had for breakfast. Other signs of changes in short-term memory include forgetting where they left something, struggling to remember why they went into a particular room, or forgetting what they were supposed to do on any given day. Difficulty finding the right words Another early sign of dementia is struggling to communicate thoughts the way you want to. This may mean that a person can’t seem to explain things. They may reach for the right words, but just can’t seem to grasp them. Conversations with an elderly parent who has dementia can become difficult and take longer than usual to conclude. Changes in mood Changes in mood are also common with dementia. It isn’t always easy to recognize this aspect of dementia in yourself, but it’s easy to notice in a loved one. Depression, for instance, is typical of early dementia.

What exactly is dementia? What’s confusing about dementia is that it’s not actually a disease. Rather, it’s a collection of symptoms that can be caused by various diseases. Dementia symptoms include impairments in thinking, communicating, and memory. The leading cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia can also be caused by brain damage incurred from an injury or stroke, and from other diseases like Huntington’s or Lewy body dementia. Symptoms Memory loss isn’t necessarily dementia If a loved one is experiencing some troubling memory problems, you might immediately conclude that it’s dementia. However, a person needs to have at least two types of impairment that are significant enough to interfere with everyday life to be considered a dementia diagnosis. In addition to difficulty remembering, the patient may also experience impairments in: • language • communication • focus • reasoning

A subtle shift in the ability to complete normal tasks may indicate an early sign of dementia. This usually starts with difficulty doing more complex things like balancing the checkbook or playing games that have a lot of rules. Along with the struggle to complete familiar tasks, you may notice your loved one struggling to learn how to do new things or follow new routines. Confusion Someone in the early stages of dementia may often show signs of confusion. When memory, thinking, or judgment lapses, confusion arises as your loved one can no longer remember faces, find the right words, or interact with people normally. Confusion can occur for a number of reasons. For example, missing car keys, forgetting what comes next in the day, or trying to remember who someone is. Difficulty following storylines If you notice that your elderly loved one has a hard time following storylines, it may be due to early demen-

Along with mood changes, you might also see a shift in personality. One typical type of personality change seen with dementia is a shift from being shy to outgoing. This is because judgment is often affected. Apathy A common symptom of early dementia is a listlessness or apathy. You might notice that your elderly loved one is starting to lose interest in hobbies or activities. They may not want to go out anymore or to do anything fun. They may be losing interest in spending time with friends and family and may seem emotionally flat. Difficulty doing normal tasks

blended learning opportunities for students to access AP courses. Currently, 18 AP courses are offered. In addition to overall AP growth, five of the 10 most popular AP exams in Wisconsin are in the burgeoning STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Graduates took 15,590 STEM exams in Biology, Calculus AB and BC, Chemistry, and Statistics. Other top exams were Psychology, English Literature and Composition, English Language and Composition, U.S. History, and U.S. Government and Politics. Wisconsin is the only state in the nation with Psychology as its most popular AP exam. The state’s 2014 graduates took 8,200 AP exams in psychology, an increase of 294 exams from the Class of 2013. The College Board named 26 Wisconsin public school districts to its Fifth Annual

tia. Just as finding and using the right words becomes difficult, people with dementia also sometimes forget the meanings of words they hear. Struggling to follow along with conversations or TV programs is a classic early warning sign. A failing sense of direction Sense of direction and spatial orientation is a common function of thinking that starts to deteriorate with the onset of dementia. This can mean not recognizing oncefamiliar landmarks and forgetting regularly used directions. It also becomes more difficult to follow series of directions and step-by-step instructions. Being repetitive Repetition is common in dementia because of memory loss and general behavioral changes. You might notice your elderly parent or loved one repeat daily tasks like shaving or collecting items obsessively. They also may repeat the same questions in a conversation after you’ve already answered them. Struggling to adapt to change For someone in the early stages of dementia, the experience is frightening. Suddenly they can’t remember people they know or follow what others are saying. They can’t remember why they went to the store and get lost on the way home. Because of this, they might crave routine and not want to try new things. Having difficulty adapting to changes is a typical sign of early dementia.

Honor Roll. The Honor Roll recognizes districts that simultaneously increase access to AP coursework while increasing the percentage of students earning a three or higher on their AP exams. “The Wisconsin education community has been tremendously creative in finding ways to offer rigorous, college-preparatory coursework to our students,” Evers noted. “Unfortunately, the governor’s 2015‑17 budget cuts funding, which means districts will be strapped to pay for the opportunities our students deserve.” NOTE: The College Board’s “AP Cohort Data: Graduating Class of 2014” reports information for public school graduates only. Breakdowns by racial and ethnic groups or by schools and districts are not available from this report. Additional tables and the list of Wisconsin Public School Honor Roll Districts is available in the official news release.

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Crowdfunding and taxes: What you should know Crowdfunding – the online method of raising money from people around the world – is less than a decade old, allowing artists, activists and a growing number of entrepreneurs to connect with financial support far outside the conventional lending system. Here's how crowdfunding works. Through sites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo or RocketHub, campaigners seeking funding create a pitch that educates potential funders – or "backers," as they're often called – on their project. Campaigns share their funding goal and the various rewards backers will receive for taking part; backers respond with pledges made via credit card. If the campaign meets its goal and deadline, the crowdfunding site activates all the cardbased pledges and the campaign is funded. While estimates vary widely, research organization Massolution (http:// www.crowdsourcing.org/ editorial/2013cf-thecrowdfunding-industry-report/25107) put 2013 crowdfunding revenue at $5.1 billion globally. Many crowdfunding efforts today are artistic or cause-based, but that is expected to change in the near future. Implementing the crowdfunding provisions of the 2012's Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, (https://www.sec.gov/spotlight/jobs-act.shtml) the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is putting final

touches on regulations allowing ordinary investors to participate in equity crowdfunding for the first time. This would mean that business owners could raise money via the web in exchange for a piece of ownership in their company. Because the process of crowdfunding is relatively easy compared to other means of obtaining capital, some might neglect to research potentially unfavorable tax, financial or legal implications from their campaign. Potential crowdfunding campaigners might want to make a preliminary call to a qualified tax adviser, financial planner or an attorney before launching any online fundraising effort. Individuals, companies and nonprofits have different tax issues and financial precedents that could blunt the effectiveness of any fundraising campaign. Depending on the fundraising goal and how that money will be handled in the aftermath of the campaign, experts say some situations may call for a particular legal entity to be formed in advance. If appropriate, participants could seek guidance to form an actual business (https://www.sba. gov/writing-business-plan) or nonprofit (https://www. councilofnonprofits.org/ tools-resources/businessplanning-nonprofits) entity. Discussing structural issues in advance will not only help with tax issues, but also lead to better strategies for fundraising and long-term mis-

sion. Beneficiaries should also consider any potential tax issues they could face as recipients of money from crowdfunding campaign. Depending on individual circumstances, crowdfunding a person's unpaid medical bills may have significantly dif-

ferent tax ramifications than crowdfunding one's independent film project. It is not enough to consider the tax issues for the campaign and campaigners. Beneficiaries require their own due diligence to make sure crowdfunding provides the most efficient solution for their

needs. Finally, backers should consider whether they have any tax questions about their support. To date, most crowdfunding supporters give such small amounts tax issues don't really surface. That may change in the future as crowdfunding moves into the commercial arena. No matter what the circumstance, any potential crowdfunding backer who works with a qualified tax, financial or legal professional should consider asking if there are more efficient ways to offer support. Bottom line: If you are interested in crowdfunding either as a campaigner, a beneficiary or a backer, research a potential project thoroughly and consider getting individualized tax, financial or legal advice before you proceed.

School Board candidate Harris promises monthly meetings in District 2, if elected By Steve Waring Special to the Milwaukee Times Wendell J. Harris, Sr., retired in 1998 after 30 years working for the now-shuttered A.O. Smith Automotive Co. He first began as an unpaid volunteer with the Milwaukee Public School system in 1984.

monthly meetings in different areas of the district. The purpose would be to communicate more effectively with his constituents, a charge he accuses his opponent of neglecting. He also wants to build a grassroots, politically-savvy, community coalition that is able to withstand threats such as the potential one by the state legislature to declare the Milwaukee School District a “Recovery School District,” which would likely result in the replacement of most elected school officials with consultants who are paid by for-profit companies.

ProTECT III is the name of a research study that looks at using progesterone (a hormone) to treat brain injury caused by an accident or other acute trauma. Researchers compared the effectiveness of progesterone to a placebo. About the study This study took place between July 2009 and November 2013. Researchers and physicians studied patients from 49 trauma centers across the United States. While researchers had planned to include 1,140 patients, they stopped after 882 because they felt that the results would not change by enrolling more patients.

One of the trauma centers in this study was Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A total of 73 patients were enrolled. The average age of patients in this group was 38. Here is more to know about Froedtert’s patients in the study: • 53 patients (73%) were male • 20 patients (27%) were female • 59 patients (81%) were Caucasian • 9 patients (12%) were African American • 9 patients (12%) were Hispanic • 3 patients (4%) were Asian • 2 patients (3%) were American Indian/Alaska Native Study results ProTECT III found that using progesterone to treat patients with acute traumatic brain injury provides no significant benefit compared to treatment with a placebo. We found that Glasgow Coma Scores (an assessment of the severity of brain injury), survival rates and favorable outcomes were nearly the same. Patients taking either progesterone or the placebo had about the same amount and type of side effects. The only significant difference was that those taking progesterone had a higher risk of getting phlebitis (inflammation of a vein) than those taking the placebo. Results of this study were published in the December 2014 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
