Shoes From Holy Redeemer

Auxiliaries in Ministry (AIM) director Steven Tipton collected more than 10,000 pairs of shoes to ship to Haiti and Kenya. This project was initiated by Tipton’s son who traveled to Haiti several months ago. Steven, Jr., visited a school in Haiti and met with children who were in need of shoes. Holy Redeemer Elementary and Middle School students held an in-school contest to collect shoes and award the classroom with the most donated shoes with honors.

Congratulations!!!

Scott Walker named to Time Magazine's '100 most Influential People' list Gov. Scott Walker has been named to Time Magazine's yearly list of the world's 100 most influential people, joining the ranks of world leaders, entertainers and religious figures.

In a particular coup for the GOP governor, his tribute in the magazine's list was written by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a potential adversary in the 2016 presidential race.

"His battle to bring fairness to the taxpayers through common sense reform of the public-sector collective-

Gov. Scott Walker

bargaining laws brought him scorn from the special interests and a recall election. Despite these threats, he stood tall," Christie writes.

In a statement, Walker said he was "certainly humbled by this honor," which carried a photo of him seated on a Harley-Davidson outside the Statehouse.

The Walker piece initially carried the cryptic headline of "The politician who reached out to the West" — the same headline given to the previous article on (Continued on pg 2)

Lupita Nyong'o on the cover of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful" issue.

It's official: Lupita Nyong'o is People Magazine's Most Beautiful Person for 2014, besting other gorgeous ladies like Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts and Julianna Margulies.

The annual Most Beautiful cover was unveiled on the Today show Wednesday, April 23. This should come as no surprise to the magazine's readers (and to the world, really), and it's not only because Nyong'o is breathtakingly beautiful. The breakout star of "12 Years a Slave," this year's Best Picture, won an Oscar herself for Best Supporting Actress.

She soon after inked a contract with Lancome Paris and constantly lands on "best dressed" lists with every red carpet appearance.

But it's the Kenyan Mexican actress' reaction to the new honor that captures her the most. "It was exciting and just a major, major compliment," Nyong'o told People after learning she's gracing this year's cover. "I was happy for all the girls who would see me on [it] and feel a little more seen."

The humble yet powerful sentiment seems to be a constant when it comes to the 31-year-old, whose speeches have become as much an inspiration as they are a gracious thanks. At the Academy Awards, she wrapped her (Continued on pg. 2)

DJ E-Z Rock of 'It Takes Two' fame dead at 46

Rob Base (left) and DJ E-Z Rock during 2005 VH1 Hip Hop Honors Gold Carpet at Hammerstein Ballroom on September 22, 2005 in New York City.

As first reported by Rolling Stone, DJ E-Z Rock, the legendary hip-hop producer behind the chart-topping hit "It Takes Two," died Sunday, April 27, 2014 at 46. The cause of death is currently unknown.

Born Rodney Bryce, DJ E-Z Rock was one-half of a Harlem hip-hop duo, which included his longtime friend Rob Base. The pair reached hip-hop acclaim with their debut album, "It Takes Two," the title track being their most successful record, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance/ Club Songs chart, and propelling them to headlining status. The song has sampled several times by artists such as Snoop Dogg, Gang Starr and Girl Talk, and has been featured in numerous soundtracks from films, TV shows and video games.

The duo released two other singles from their debut album —"Joy and Pain" and "Get on the Dance Floor"— but "It Takes Two" would be

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani — but was quickly corrected to read, "The heartland's Republican hopeful."

Walker drew national attention for the 2011 law known as Act 10, which repealed most collective bargaining for most public workers.

The Time list notes public figures of influence, without necessarily connoting approval. The list this year includes figures ranging from the singer Bono to Pope Francis, twerker Miley Cyrus and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Other figures in U.S. politics included U.S. Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Kirsten

the standout single off the group's debut album of the same name. The album was certified platinum in 1989 and reached No. 31 on the Billboard 200, an impressive feat for a hip-hop album at the time.

As E-Z Rock recalled, the duo sent "It Takes Two" to hip-hop label Profile Records and received a call from the label the next day. "At first, it was kind of weird because we only had one record," Rock said of the group's first hit "Make It Hot." "We would open up for people and get on for 15 minutes doing that one song. Then, when 'It Takes Two' came out, we started headlining."

While E-Z Rock was not featured on Rob Base's 1989 album, "The Incredible Base," the duo reunited again for their final record, "Break of Dawn," released in 1994.

Rob Base posted a photo on Instagram in honor of E-Z Rock's passing. "R.I.P Skip (DJ E-Z Rock) my friend.

My brother," he wrote.

"He didn't let you give up.

He just challenged you, in a good way," recalled Antoinette Mensah, who was mentored by Dukes through the Wisconsin chapter of INROADS Inc., an organization that prepares minority youths for corporate and community leadership.

Dukes spent about 20 years in leadership roles at INROADS Inc., ending with the position of managing director in 1997.

He died April 23, 2014 at age 69, in Milwaukee after a lengthy illness.

Known as a Southern gentleman who previously lived in Miami and Raleigh, NC, Dukes came to Milwaukee to pursue a master's degree in library science from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

After graduation, he was a research analyst for Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co. and then was an employment specialist with the Social Develop-

Stamper wins 15th Aldermanic District race

Milwaukee County Supervisor Russell W. Stamper, II, edged out Eyon Biddle Sr., in the April 29th, 15th district aldermanic race to succeed Willie Hines. Stamper won 954 votes to Biddle’s 923.

Russell W.

I was just about to buy Dencia's Whitenicious cream to lighten my skin when you appeared on the world map and saved me.'

"I remember a time when I too felt unbeautiful. I put on the TV and only saw pale skin. I got teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin," Nyong'o added, wrapping her speech up with: "I hope that my presence on your screens and in the magazines may lead you, young girl, on a similar journey.

That you will feel the validation of your external beauty but also get to the deeper business of being beautiful inside. There is no shade in that beauty."

Pastors United holds meeting on the state of education of African American children

By Olivia Shaw Special to the Milwaukee Times

The Pastors United for Advocacy, Inc., meeting held at Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church, 2505 W. Cornell Street on April 24, 2014, was nothing short of being informative and well received, especially when the conversation centered on the education of African American children. This discussion couldn’t have come at a better time, since the state of Wisconsin was recently dubbed one of the worst states by the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s national report, for the “well-being of black children.”

Addressing the Pastors United audience was State Senator Lena Taylor who introduced the featured speaker. During her brief remarks, Sen. Taylor spoke glowingly about the philosophy and importance Universal Schools places on the emphasis of teaching black children to understand who they are and make them proud to know they came from a heritage of

kings and queens.

Sen. Taylor said she was pleased to make the introduction of Universal School leaders at this stage of their development in Milwaukee.

“There is a lack in our generation, and a need in our communities,” and if things are going to change, “faith leaders and universal school leaders need to be interconnected,” Sen. Taylor said.

Numerous issues have plagued the city of Milwaukee, like poverty, violence and racism; but both Taylor and featured guest speaker Kenny Gamble promised that “education” is the key to solving a multitude of setbacks. Gamble is the famous songwriter behind the Soul Train theme music, and Billy Paul’s “Me and Mrs. Jones.”

In 2013, Gamble opened two charter schools in the greater Milwaukee area. The songwriter, community advocate, and chairman of the Universal Companies shared much wisdom and insight.

“Our bodies are the transportation for our spirits to do good things in this life,” the

Kenny Gamble of Universal Schools Philadelphia native said. “I believe that education is the key to the salvation, in particular, to the African American community. You cannot make it without an education.”

Gamble’s advice fell on the ears of youth and elders, and his message was clear and inspiring. “It’s like having a garden of beautiful flowers

but there is one common problem – weeds,” Gamble continued. “The weeds don’t care if you’re a rose or a daffodil. We have a 'weed' in our communities, and that is ignorance; the lack of knowing any better. So we have to obtain an education – that is our goal.”

Gamble promises to return

to Milwaukee, and continue to implement the importance of education and African American empowerment.

Youth and poverty task force seeks public input

A group of community leaders is looking for feedback from the community about how poverty impacts youth in Milwaukee County and what to do about it.

A pair of public forums will be held by the Youth and Poverty Task Force, a group co-chaired by Dr. Demond Means and Dr. Gary Williams from the Social Development Commission (SDC) Board of Commissioners.

The task force is looking at the impact of poverty on young people, the root causes of that poverty, and what practical solutions SDC can put into place to address it. The group will also make recommendations for policy changes at city, county and state levels of government.

The Youth and Poverty Task Force is seeking input

from members of the Milwaukee community that become part of their work. The first of the public forums will be held Thursday, May 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Journey House located at 2110 W. Scott Street. A second forum will be held Saturday, May 10 from noon to 2 p.m. at Hillside Family Resource Center found at 1452 N. 7th Street.

Members of the public are encouraged to attend the forums to hear from task force members and more importantly to provide to them their thoughts on the issue of youth and poverty as well as recommendations on steps to take. Members of the task force include representatives from organizations already working with low-income youth. They include SDC, Centro Hispano, Neigh-

borhood House, Lao Family Community, Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board, the Medical College of Wisconsin and the City of Milwaukee Mayor’s Office.

A final report including

recommendations is expected from the task force by mid-summer. To learn more about the Youth and Poverty Task Force, visit www.cr-sdc. org.

Rebuilding our Community By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Paying the cost “I’m payin’ the cost to be the boss” Those are some of the lyrics used by Riley B. King (better known as B.B. King) in his hit song “Paying The Cost to be The Boss” as well as the title of the album. This album was loaded with songs that have become blue classics and worldwide treasures including The Thrill is Gone and You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now. Remarkably his life story and how he rose to become an international music legend, prolific songwriter, singer and one of the greatest guitarists of all time is simply amazing and inspiring.

If you read his life story, it does not take long to begin admiring what B.B. King has been able to achieve given his circumstances in dealing with obstacles, setbacks, a dysfunctional family, divorce, sickness and type II diabetes. However, it has been his love for music, playing the guitar and singing about what he felt that has become his hallmark signature. Additionally, his music and outlet has enabled him to touch countless lives over the de-

cades. His music has connected people, regardless of their background, heritage, and faith in many ways and has inspired others to push on beyond their limitations and to rebound from disappointments.

He has been recognized with numerous accolades that are hard to count and continue to grow as he at one time performed over 300 shows each year for over 30 years. Some of his honors include Grammy Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement Awards; induction into the Blues and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame; Kennedy Center Honors, Royal Swedish Academy of Music Award, an honorary Doctorate in music by Brown University, and in 2006 the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush.

B.B. King's tours have car-

ried him around the world, including visits by the heads of state of many countries, played and recorded with other music legends and has even done a gig at the White House and singing with President Obama in 2012.

That is not bad for a little kid who grew up in Indianola, MS and who now has a museum in Indianola, several Blues clubs and restaurants in major cities and amusement parks. His life did not start out this way; he did not inherit a silver or golden spoon, but used what he had… “a desire, dream and gift.” By the way, let us not forget about…“Lucille”… you got it! … the guitar. Of course that is another story all by itself.

What price are you willing to pay to help turn around urban Milwaukee?

Dr. Andrew Calhoun, can be contacted at andrewiiicalhoun@ gmail.com, Twitter #AC53, or call 414-571-5015. You can hear Dr. Calhoun each Sunday at Grace Fellowship Church, 3879 N. Port Washington Rd. Milwaukee

Beyond broke: Why the racial wealth gap matters Dr. Maya Rockeymoore, Founder and President of Global Policy Solutions, the Center for Global Policy Solutions, and GlobalPolicy.tv Right now, there are families in America who feel they have done all the "right things." They have played by the rules and worked hard but they aren't getting ahead financially. In fact, they are falling further behind and are basically beyond broke.

They have many things in common but the thing that is most striking is their racial make-up; they are mostly African American and Latino.

In the so-called "recovery period" following the Great Recession, the average African American and Latino household still owns only six and seven cents respectively for every one dollar in wealth held by the typical white family, an increase of only a penny per group since 2009.

And despite reports that U.S. households have regained much of the wealth they lost since the Great Recession, communities of color have yet to see the benefits of the economic recovery.

Our analysis of U.S. Census Bureau Survey of Income

and Program Participation data show that between 2005 and 2011, the median net worth of households of color remained near their 2009 levels, reflecting a drop of 58 percent for Latinos, 48 percent for Asians, 45 percent for African Americans but only 21 percent for whites. Steep losses in homes and home equity in the lead up to and during the Great Recession contributed to more dramatic declines in the net worth of households of color.

But it gets even worse, for the data shows that many African American and Latino households are considered "liquid asset poor," meaning that they do not have cash

or assets readily converted to cash to cover basic living expenses if they are without income for three months. In fact, the average liquid wealth of whites is now over 100 times that of African Americans and more than 65 times that held by Latinos.

It's not an accident that these communities have less wealth and cash on hand.

Their low wealth position can be correlated with discriminatory governmental policies that largely excluded people of color from the formal economy up until the latter half of 20th century and policies that continue to (Continued on pg. 19)

The pain of loneliness (conclusion) “…God will break the chains that bind his people…” - Isaiah 9:4a This month we have been addressing the topic of loneliness and the pain that is associated with it. All of us have felt loneliness at one time or another. Loneliness, as we use the term during this series, means unwanted physical or emotional isolation. It is a self-conscious isolation, a condition in which the lonely one is consciously aware that something important is painfully lacking in his/her life. In our conclusion, Dr. Guy Winch in “Why Loneliness Is A Trap And How To

Break Free” (Psychology Today, September 2013), suggests that in order to emerge from the pain of loneliness, one has to do several things, all of which involve taking a leap of faith in one form or another; specifically: 1. Take the initiative.

If you are socially isolated, consider volunteering, doing community service, or an activity you enjoy, as these are good ways to meet people. In addition, try going through your phone and email address books as well as your Facebook and other social media contacts and make a list of people you haven’t seen or spoken to for a while.

2. Give others the benefit of the doubt. Once you have compiled your list of friends

and acquaintances, reach out to one of them each day. Yes, they might not have been in touch for a while or returned your phone call from two months earlier but give them the benefit of the doubt. Invite them to have coffee or even a catch-up on the phone and you will be surprised by how many of them will hap-

pily make plans and take you up on the invitation.

3. Approach people with optimism. It’s perfectly normal to fear rejection, but you have to get yourself in the right frame of mind when you contact people so the vibe you put out is positive and inviting (rather than overly cautious and uninviting). Even when texting or emailing others, keep in mind that emotions can be very useful. Example: “How have you been?” is much more appealing than “Haven’t heard from you in two months, wanna get together?”

Beloved, remember when you are emotionally, physically, or spiritually weak, you are in a prime position to witness firsthand the power of God

working within you. God will give the strength and courage to endure whatever you are going through. Turn to God and trust Him.

Amani community welcomes spring with neighborhood clean-up

Photos By George Neal

After a long winter, the Amani community kicked off spring by coming together to clean up its streets. On Saturday, April 26, 2014, about 75 folks rolled up their sleeves and targeted the blocks between Locust and Auer, 24th Place and 21st Street. According to estimates by the City, approximately 3000 pounds of trash were removed from the neighborhood.

Partners and participating groups include Amani United, Dominican Center for Women, COA Goldin Center, Safe & Sound, Painting with a Purpose, Milwaukee Police District 5, Nonprofit Center of Milwaukee, Vincent High School track team, Future Milwaukee, ArtWorks, BNCP, NIDC, and the City of Milwaukee.

Most importantly, Amani residents came out in force — everyone from youngsters to teenagers to parents to elders pitched in and brought their energy to the morning. During lunch, an impromptu series of speakers took the microphone and fired up the group about a peaceful and productive

summer. Yard signs proclaiming "I Am Amani" on one side and "Keep Amani Clean" on the other were distributed, two slogans the neighborhood is hoping to catch on.

The cleanup was staged out of a vacant lot on 23rd & Burleigh, across the street from COA Goldin Center and NOVA High School. This site was selected because it overlooks the future site of Moody Park, which the county is projecting to be completed this year. Moving forward, neighborhood organizing efforts will continue to focus on this area — including more cleanups throughout the summer — to help galvanize the community's energy around the Moody name returning as a positive force in the Amani neighborhood.

Job-readiness training and job fair connect unemployed to employers ready to hire

Pictured at the City job fair and training event are (from left) prospective hiree Ronnie Cole, Jeff Armstrong with the Department of Workforce Development (DWD), and Gloria Mitchell also with DWD. The job fair was a joint venture with the City of Milwaukee Housing Authority (HACM), Milwaukee Achiever, The Guest House, WCS Parsons House, Infallible Helping Hands, and the DWD and was held at HACM Community Services Building.

Come see

What Is Possible here.

More than 240 job seekers attended a job fair Tuesday, April 22, 2014, hosted by an employment coalition made up of the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM), Milwaukee Achiever, the Guest House, WCS Parsons House, Infallible Helping Hands, and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.

The job fair was held at the HACM Community Services Building, located at 650 W. Reservoir.

The event connected job seekers to 27 Milwaukeearea employers and apprenticeship programs, including Rockwell Automation, FedEx, Time Warner Cable, Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership, and others.

“Preparing unemployed

people to enter the workforce is one of my top priorities,” said Mayor Tom Barrett. “I’m glad that the Housing Authority and these other agencies have continued to lead the way.”

In the weeks leading up to the job fair, more than 120 people attended job readiness training that offered assistance with interview preparation, résumé writing, and basic job-seeking skills. The training was offered through the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board (MAWIB).

“The training helped me get focused and prepare for the job fair,” said Dana Armstrong, who has been unemployed since his job as a transportation driver ended two months ago. “The train-

ing taught me how to present myself professionally and how to ask questions that can help determine if the job is a good fit.”

Armstrong left the job fair with a scheduled interview and information about apprenticeship programs. “It’s looking promising,” he said.

“I was very impressed with the candidates,” said Eric Pickmosa, Talent Acquisition Specialist for Manpower.

“They were better prepared than at most job fairs – better dressed, more confident to introduce themselves, and ready with their résumés.”

Pickmosa sent several jobseekers to meet directly with hiring managers to be considered for open positions.

Shiloh Baptist elects Charles Holmes as new pastor

The Congregation of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, 4801 W. Capitol Drive, elected Rev. Charles E. Holmes their new pastor on Friday, March 28, 2014, with his starting date in the pulpit of April 6, 2014. Since the passing of Rev. Isaac Hopgood, Pastor Holmes is the third pastor to lead Shiloh.

Pastor Holmes served as an Assistant Pastor to Rev. Charles Thornhill who is pastor at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. Pastor Thornhill serves at Pastor Holmes’ mentor and teacher. On preaching his first sermon as pastor he remarked that he had preached his very first sermon at Shiloh in 2002, and over the years he has preached on several occasions at the church. On becoming a candidate for a second time to become Pastor, Rev. Holmes said: "I professed my calling to become a pastor at Shiloh. It’s an honor for me to be the Pastor, and I saw this as a prophecy and a joy to be called, which I did not know when, but now I see it clearly”. Shiloh will be celebrating their sixty (60) year Church Anniversary on May 18, 2014. All are invited. Pastor Charles Holmes (center) is pictured with daughter Breanna (left) and his wife (right) First Lady Reopal Holmes.

Bulletin Board Best fertilizer? Can chewing gum improve your memory? And what difference does a green roof make? MPS students tackle topics at District Science Fair More students, schools participating in 7th annual event at the Milwaukee County Zoo What’s a better fertilizer, fish feces or Miracle-Gro? Can chewing gum improve your memory? And what difference does a green roof make versus an asphalt roof ?

MPS students from kindergarten to high school are answering these questions and more than 200 other questions as a growing number of students and schools are participating in the Milwaukee Public Schools District Science Fair, now in its seventh year.

The event is set for Thursday, May 1 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Milwaukee County Zoo’s Peck Welcome Center, 10001 W. Blue Mound Road, Milwaukee 53226. The 7th annual District Science Fair will include 219 projects

put together by 273 students from 36 schools, up from 181 projects from 208 students and 28 schools in 2013.

“Our science fair is a showcase of students seeking solutions to real-world problems,” MPS Science Curriculum Specialist Jon Breedlove said. “We’re excited to see more students and more schools participating and we’re looking forward to continuing to strengthen this wonderful event as our district continues to expand science/technology/engineering/math (STEM) efforts including expanding our aquaponics programming.”

Proposed MPS budget increases investment in classrooms, including 50 more art, music and PE teachers

Also includes a school support teacher and parent coordinator in every school; continues multi-year trend to focus on classrooms Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton’s proposed 201415 budget continues to invest in classrooms and increases the standard of care for students across the district. This includes adding another 50 art, music and physical education teaching positions into MPS schools.

The 50 new positions for 2014-15 are on top of the positions added into schools for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years. This results in a net increase of 142 art, music and PE teaching positions over three years. Increasing art, music and physical education opportunities was listed as the top priority of those responding to MPS’ 2014 budget survey.

Other key items in the proposal include: • Adding a school support teacher in every school, grades K-12, to help improve instruction by working directly with educators in their classrooms • Creating a parent coordinator position in every school, grades K-12, to build stronger relationships between families and schools • Providing additional support for behavioral health services for early childhood and primary grade students in need • Continuing additional funding for specialty schools – such as arts, International Baccalaureate, language immersion and Montessori schools – recognizing that

these programs come with additional costs • Implementing a five percent spending cut in Central Services to provide additional resources to schools, but also requiring staff to evaluate priorities to determine what services will need to be reduced or eliminated. The total reduction in Central Services from FY10 through FY15 is $10 million.

MPS’ reductions in Central Services spending have helped increase the share of

the budget spent in schools: the share of dollars from the school operations fund spent directly on staff and supplies for educating children has grown from 80 percent in 2009-10 to 87 percent in the proposed 2014-15 budget.

Difficult-but-necessary actions to reduce benefit costs, estimated to save $400 million through 2017, have also helped direct more dollars to classrooms.

Why disability insurance is critical Most people understand why having life insurance is a good idea: Nobody wants to leave their survivors in a financial lurch if they were to die suddenly. But what if you suffer an accident or illness and don't die, but rather, become severely disabled?

Could you or your family make ends meet without your paycheck, possibly for decades?

Although most people are entitled to Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) benefits if they've paid sufficient FICA payroll taxes over the years, the eligibility rules are extremely strict, applying

can take many months, and the average monthly benefit is only about $1,150.

So what are your other disability coverage options?

Many companies provide sick leave and short-term disability coverage to reimburse employees during brief periods of illness or injury. Some also provide long-term disability (LTD) insurance that replaces a percentage of pay for an extended period of time.

But employer-provided LTD plans usually replace only about 60 percent of pay and the money you receive is considered taxable income,

further lowering your benefit's worth. Plus, such plans often have a waiting period before benefits kick in, will carve out any SSDI bene-

fits you receive, and cap the monthly benefit amount and maximum payout period (often as little as two years).

Thus, even if your employer provides basic LTD, you might want to purchase additional coverage. Just be prepared: LTD insurance can be expensive. Yearly premiums may cost 1 to 3 percent of gross income, depending on plan features, your age, and whether you have preexisting conditions.

First, see if you can buy supplemental coverage through your employer's plan – their group rate will be cheaper than an individ-

ual policy and you probably won't need a physical exam.

Or see if any professional or trade organizations you belong to offer group coverage.

If not, you'll have to buy an individual policy. A few of the things to keep in mind: The younger and healthier you are, the lower the premiums you'll be able to lock in.

Some policies won't pay benefits unless you can't perform the duties of your own occupation, while others specify that you must be physically unable to perform any job (the latter coverage is much cheaper).

Look for a "non-cancelable" policy, which means the insurer can't cancel or refuse to renew your policy – or raise the premium – if you pay on time.

The longer the waiting period before benefits are paid, the lower the premium.

Thus, if you have enough sick time and savings to wait 120 days before payout, your premiums will be significantly less than for a 60-day waiting period.

Some policies only provide benefits for two years, while others pay until your normal Social Security retirement age – most cover somewhere in between. The shorter the term, the lower the cost.

Many plans exclude preexisting conditions, mental health or substance abuse issues.

For an additional fee, policies with a "future purchase option" allow you to increase coverage as your wages rise, without having to take another physical or rewrite the policy.

Check whether the benefit payout amount is fixed or if cost-of-living adjustments are made periodically. The latter type is more expensive but offers better protection against inflation if you're disabled for many years.

Bottom line: If you became seriously disabled it could easily wipe out your savings and put your family in financial jeopardy. Before you actually need it, investigate what disability coverage you already have and what other options are available.

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

By Dr. Lester Carter Owner, Carter Drug Store

Mighty minis: The fascinating trace minerals (part 2) With health delivery in such chaos and uncertainty, we at Carter Drug Store suggest arming yourselves with the latest up-todate information, which hopefully will prevent minor problems from escalating into major problems.

You and your loved ones deserve the best treatment possible to survive in these difficult times.

COPPER (Cu): Important to enzyme structure, copper is involved in processes from energy production (influencing thyroid and adrenal functions) to pigment formation. It is used in building collagen, the matrix material for bones, joints, and connective tissue. Needed for forming red blood cells and for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, Cu also has a role in reproduction, including prostate health and pregnancy.

Copper interacts particularly with two other minerals: iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn).

Cu interacts with iron in the synthesis of red blood cells.

Because of this, a copper deficiency can look like iron deficiency anemia. Treating copper anemia with iron makes the condition worse, get a blood test to be sure.

Copper and zinc are antagonists. To function optimally, a balance of 1 part copper to 8 parts zinc is required. When copper has the upper hand, the main symptom is fatigue.

Although many people suffer copper-based fatigue, it is seldom diagnosed. In her book Why Am I Always So Tired?, popular nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, presents case studies and a recovery program for copper overload.

A final caution about copper. An article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science links copper accumulation in the brain with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The effect is interference with the removal of amyloid beta from the brain. Amyloid beta forms the plaques that are the hallmark of Alzheimer’s. Rashid Deane, PhD, lead author of the study, noted that in future, we may regulate our copper intake with diet.

Recommended daily allowance (RDA) for copper is 340 mcg daily for young children, rising to 900 mcg for adults.

BHCW to hold 11th Annual African American Walk for Quality Health On Saturday June 7, 2014 Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin, Inc. (BHCW) will have their 11th Annual African American Walk for Quality Health. This year's theme is "Women's Health." Event co-chairs are Dr. Earnestine Willis, Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Bevan K. Baker, FACHE Commissioner of Health for the City of Milwaukee The primary purpose of BHCW's Walk for Quality Health is to garner citywide support for the Wisconsin African American Eliminating Health Disparities Institute. The Institute was established by BHCW to specifically focus on the elimination of health disparities for African Americans in Wisconsin through data warehousing, research and policy development. The Institute also allows for the African American community to have control regarding the development, analysis, and dissemination of health information. Another very important reason for the African American Walk for Quality Health is to engage the community in a meaningful healthy activity. The promotion of good health is key to the reduction of health disparities. This event

goes a long way in sending a positive message that African Americans do care about their health as the event route is directly in the community that is adversely impacted by health disparities the most.

Registration for the African American Walk for Quality Health on June 7th starts at 9:00 a.m., the Walk begins at 10:00 a.m. Registration can be completed online at www.bhcw.org/Walk or at the event. Individuals can register for $10 and teams of ten can register for $35.

There are also opportunities for people who can not attend the Walk to gain pledges. The event registration and kick-off activity will occur at the Milwaukee Urban League (435 W. North Ave.).

The Walk route goes from the Milwaukee Urban League to Dr. King Drive, north to Center Street, west to the Wisconsin Black Historical Society & Museum (2620 W. Center). Festivities after the Walk will include a brief program, informational booths by the event sponsors, and an African American Women Business Fair. For more information, please contact BHCW at 414-933-0064.

Sources: Whole grains, beans, including soy, nuts and seeds (with the exception of pepitas, rich in zinc), plus black tea and chocolate.

If you don’t eat a lot of meat (zinc source) and you are suffering from fatigue, your copper to zinc ratios may be off. Check into Gittleman’s book. Copper free multis are available.

IODINE (I): The primary use of iodine is in the production of thyroid hormones. The hormones control metabolic rate and body temperature. Plus, iodine is crucial for brain development in children, making its deficiency the number one cause of preventable mental retardation worldwide.

Abundant in seawater but rare in soil, goiter and mental retardation are the major

iodine deficiency diseases.

In 1924, iodine was added to table salt to remediate iodine deficiency in the US. This made salt the number one source of iodine. However, according to the Salt Institute, iodine intake in the US is down nearly 40 percent; plus, an estimated 74 percent of “healthy” adults may no longer be getting adequate iodine, bringing us to the brink of an iodine deficiency epidemic. Writing for Life Extension, Nancy Piccone calls this “The Silent Epidemic”.

The major reasons for the decrease in iodized salt intake are: 1) Less iodine in table salt. A study analyzing 88 salt samples showed only half contained sufficient iodine.

2) There is no iodized salt in restaurant and processed foods.

3) People are limiting their salt intake for health reasons.

4) Perchlorate contamination inhibits the thyroid’s ability to utilize iodine.

There are two adverse thyroid conditions; overactive and underactive. Overactive thyroid production causes

hyperthyroidism. Conversely, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition in which swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland can result in reduced thyroid function (hypothyroidism).

Oddly, iodine may induce or exacerbate thyroiditis.

RDA: 150-290 mcg for adults and 70-150 mcg for children were established only to prevent goiter. In comparison, the average daily Japanese consumption of iodine ranges from 5,280 to 13,800 mcg with no harmful effects and a host of benefits.

Iodine can be supplemented.

Sources: Sea salt and sea foods, such as kelp, contain iodine naturally as do foods grown in soils with sufficient iodine and milk when cows are fed iodine enriched feed.

Combination of alcohol and tobacco increases risk of esophageal cancer The rate of developing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) nearly doubles in those who both smoke and drink compared to those who only smoke or drink, according to new research published in The American Journal of Gastroenterology. Although multiple studies have identified risk factors for the development of ESCC, notably, exposure to alcohol and tobacco, this research is the first metaanalysis to look at the interaction between alcohol and tobacco in the risk of ESCC, a class of esophageal cancer that begins in the flat cells lining the esophagus.

“Our study suggests that not only do alcohol and tobacco play an important role in the development of esophageal cancer, the combination of their use markedly increases their potency as carcinogens. As a result, we as physicians should focus efforts directed at controlling the burden of esophageal cancer on those who consume both of these substances,” said lead author Anoop Prabhu, MD, Advanced Endoscopy Fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in New York, NY. Dr. Prabhu, and authors

Drs. Kenneth O. Obi and Joel H. Rubenstein at the University of Michigan Medical School, performed a systematic literature search in multiple electronic databases and looked at population-based case-control or cohort studies of ESCC that assessed the effects of tobaccos and/ or alcohol. A synergy factor was calculated from each study to estimate the interaction on a multiplicative scale between tobacco and alcohol on the outcome of ESCC. “Our systematic review confirmed the expected exposure-dependent relationship of both alcohol and to-

bacco with the risk of ESCC, as alcohol use and tobacco use were both independent risk factors for the development of ESCC,” stated Dr. Prabhu.

According to the National Cancer Institute, it is estimated in 2014 there will be over 18,000 new cases of esophageal cancer in the United States, and over 15,000 deaths from the disease.

“The Hippest Trip in America: Soul Train and the Evolution of Culture and Style” by Nelson George

Yep, that’s what you were, dancing in front of your TV every Saturday, spinning on the carpet and waving your arms around until you got yelled at for “gonna break something.” But you were the flyest of fly. The only thing you were going to bust was a move, just like on Soul Train. And in “The Hippest Trip in America” by Nelson George, you’ll read about the iconic TV program that you never, ever missed.

Everyone knew that Don Cornelius had “ambition": he was a car salesman, policeman, and insurance agent before his “foghorn voice” led him to radio in 1966. He made the transition to TV two years later, and he soon

Proposed MPS budget (Continued from pg. 12) “Improving educational outcomes for students means focusing our collective energy in one place: classrooms in Milwaukee Public Schools,” MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton said.

“The proposed 2014-15 budget reflects that commitment by further directing more resources to our schools while increasing efficiency and fostering a school-based focus at Central Services.”

The proposed budget includes a net increase of 193 positions in schools, including 132 teaching positions, and a net decrease of 130 non-school based positions.

Total spending under the plan would decrease by about 3 percent to $1,157,296,555, which includes: the school operations fund; the cat-

realized there was a need for a “black” TV show. He presented the idea, then found major corporate sponsorship, and on October 2, 1971, Soul Train appeared locally in Chicago.

The show was “’overnight hot’” but Cornelius knew there was more to this idea.

With another sponsor onboard for a nation-wide launch, Cornelius pitched the show to the networks, but they turned it down. He decided to syndicate Soul Train and moved the show to Los Angeles.

Though the music was always the focus of Soul Train, Cornelius knew that the dancers (in particular, those in the Soul Train line) were what brought viewers back.

In L.A., scouts kept their eyes open for promising teens who could dance, often mining prospects from three main area clubs. Dancers performed for free and were fed chicken dinners, but the real appeal of being a Soul Train dancer was fame and the opportunity for a career in show biz. It seemed as though every regular viewer wanted to be a Soul Train regular, too.

But as much as Cornelius controlled his show (and, to a certain extent, his dancers), he couldn’t control what happened, culturally. Early90s fashions confounded him, music videos concerned him, and gangsta rap made egorical fund (grant funding for specific purposes); the construction fund (repair, remodeling and upkeep); and the extension fund, which includes adult education, social centers, playgrounds and feebased recreation programs.

The final budget must be approved by the Milwaukee Board of School Directors.

Public input will be welcome at Board Strategic Planning and Budget Committee meetings tentatively set for May 1 and May 13 as well as the statutory budget hearing tentatively set for May 15 . The meetings are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at MPS Central Services auditorium, 5225 W. Vliet Street, Milwaukee 53208. Please check the MPS website to determine final dates and times.

The MPS budget companion, a guide to help community members and MPS families better understand the budget proposal, is available online at mpsmke.com/ budget.

seeing how author Nelson George sent me to the internet. His descriptions of what happened through the years on Soul Train made me want to see, too, and there are plenty of clips online. I also liked the interviews with former dancers and the cultural frame-of-reference included here, and the history of the show – along with little-known tidbits – made this a great (and surprisingly fast-paced) read filled with Author Nelson Geoage reminiscing, “love, peace, him uncomfortable.

Discussing economic data For customer service questions or to update your vehicle/plate information, as if all racial/ethnic groups call (414) 344-0840 are equally positioned in society only hides the incon-

venient truth of racial and ethnic wealth inequality and will retard efforts to pursue targeted solutions for closing the gap.

For this very reason, the Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Initiative is seeking to raise the visibility of this critical aspect of the national debate with the release of a new report and the launch of our 2014 Color of Wealth Summit being held in Washington, D.C. this week. Among the issues raised will be the racial gap in pay and employment and the importance of paycheck fairness and living wage policies. We will also highlight the need for lowand no-cost financial services and the importance of future mortgage settlements including the collection of racial/ ethnic, gender, geographical and other demographic data in order to ensure that relief programs are transparent, fair and targeting the hardest-hit communities.

We also uplift new proposals like the Baby Bond Trust Program, which seeks to build assets in low-income communities by progressively endowing children with an account seeded with federal funds at birth. It is clear that communities of color have greater financial hurdles to overcome in their effort to not just recover from the Great Recession but also from the lingering history of oppression. Policy discussions must give attention to this issue and policy interventions should be designed to meet this need.
