Donate some peanuts and Cracker Jack® and other non-perishables Partners ESPN Milwaukee and Roundy’s helped Hunger Task Force swing for the fences at the first annual All Star Food Drive on Wednesday, July 16. The drive happened during Major League Baseball’s All Star break and took place just down the street from Miller Park at Pick ‘n Save, 2201 Miller Park Way. Non-perishable food donations were collected at the store with special items prepackaged and available for purchase inside the store. ESPN Milwaukee personalities broadcasted live from Pick ‘n Save, including Drew Olson and Alex Petakas, Dan Needles, Steve “the Homer” True, and Gabe Neitzel. Summer donations are especially important for Hunger Task Force as childhood hunger peaks when school is out and children living in poverty lose access to school meals. August is traditionally the busiest month for local food pantries, soup kitchens and homeless shelters.

Who is the NAACP's new president, Cornell William Brooks?
By Krissah Thompson
“A recessionary cosmology and a theology of recovery.” It’s an ungainly title, but from it, Cornell William Brooks builds steadily to a fervid crescendo. “You have hope! No matter how bad it seems! No matter what you’ve gone through,” says the lawyer and minister recently named head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He stomps his foot for effect, and shouts of “Preach! Amen!” come from the congregation of Turner Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church in Hyattsville, MD, as the hometown crowd cheers on the church kid made good. Brooks’ slow windup to a roaring boom is typical of his career. He takes the helm of
the nation’s best-known civil rights organization as a virtually unknown 53-year-old whose selection took the insular, hierarchical civil rights community by surprise. And there’s a subtext, in his case, to the normal theater of rolling out a new leader. He will have to answer a pressing question: How can he give new life and relevancy to the granddaddy of the nation’s civil rights organizations? As the NAACP prepares for its 105th annual convention, in Las Vegas, where Brooks will meet some of the association’s 350,000 members, the nation’s fissures over race resurface once more. It’s deja vu all over again: Obama won! Has America turned the corner to become post-racial? What is the NAACP’s job now? Does race even matter? But . . . remember Trayvon Martin.
Cornell William Brooks Brooks’ sermon, delivered in this light-filled church outfitted with stained-glass windows in which all the figures — including Jesus — have brown skin, reveals his core philosophy. “We as African Americans hear from the leading com-
mentators telling us how bad things are and how bad things have been and how bad things are likely to be, and yet we come into this house of God and praise God,” he says in a preacher’s staccato. “Through slavery, through reconstruction, through Jim Crow, through the modern civil rights movement — again and again and again, African Americans have refused to give up. We’ve refused to give over. We’ve refused to turn it in.” Brooks has an affinity for history, a determined bent toward the positive, and an abiding faith in God. He will need all of those traits in his new job. As the NAACP’s 18th president, Brooks inherits the organization’s storied history, peopled over the years with such towering African American figures as W.E.B.
DuBois, James Weldon Johnson and Ida B. Wells. Brooks, who lives in Woodbridge, VA, with his wife, Janice, and two sons, is executive director of the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice and an ordained minister. He referenced the milestone anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision that mandated educational equality in explaining his thoughts on his selection. Brooks also is former senior counsel with the Federal Communications Commission and a former trial attorney with the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. At Yale Law School, he was senior editor of the Yale Law Journal. He has a master's degree in divinity from Boston University.
Adm. Michelle Howard becomes first four-star woman in Navy history The ceremony included a bit of comedy, but there was no denying the significance: For the first time in its history, the Navy promoted a woman on Tuesday, July 15, 2014 to become a four-star admiral. Surrounded by friends, family and peers, Adm. Michelle J. Howard was promoted to her new rank at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. She’ll take over as the vice chief of naval operations, the No. 2 officer in the service. She is not only the first woman to hold the job, but the first African American. It’s the latest achievement for Howard, who previously was the first African American woman to serve as a three-star officer in the U.S. military and command a U.S. Navy ship. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said her promotion is a “representation of how far we have come, and how far she has helped bring us.” “She is also a great example of how much we as a nation and a Navy lose if we put

She became the first four-star woman in Navy history. artificial barriers in,” Mabus told a crowd of about 150 people. “If we don’t judge people based on their ability, based on their capability. I hope I have always been passionate about that, but I know the intensity has increased since I am the father of three daughters, and I refuse to believe that there are any ceilings for them, glass or otherwise. That they can get to wherever their abilities can take them. And with that, they and countless others in the Navy now have a won-
derful role model in Michelle Howard.” Howard is perhaps best known for leading Task Force 151, which oversaw counter-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden. After Somali pirates attacked the cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama and captured its top officer, Capt. Richard Phillips, in April 2009, she devised a plan with others to get him back, dispatching the USS Bainbridge, a destroyer, to help. Navy SEAL snipers eventually opened fire on a
South Africans remember Nelson Mandela on his birthday South Africans marked Nelson Mandela's birthday with charitable acts in honor of the former president, whose death in December, 2013 prompted a global outpouring of tributes. People picked up litter, cooked at homes for the elderly and donated food, blankets and other basic necessities to the poor on Friday. The United Nations has declared July 18 to be Nelson Mandela International Day. Organizers have urged people to perform acts of charity for 67 minutes, sym-
bolizing Mandela's 67 years of public service. Mandela was jailed for 27 years under white minority rule and led a difficult transition to democracy, becoming president in all-race elections in 1994. He served one five-year term, evolving into a global statesman and pursuing charitable causes after that. He died Dec. 5, 2013 at the age of 95.

After being promoted, Howard told those assembled that when she called to order her new four-star shoulder boards, she was told they did not exist. A special contract was devised to buy some, “and you folks are seeing the first set,” she said to cheers. The Army and Air Force each have named four-star female officers in the past. The first one in the military, Army Gen. Ann Dunwoody, retired in 2012, after serving as a four-star general for nearly four years. Howard said after the ceremony that the 1993 decision to allow women to serve on combatant ships and fly fighter jets remains one of the biggest for the Navy. “I’m just very proud of our service,” she said. She acknowledged the ongoing debate about where women should serve in the military’s ground combat units, but said that each of the services is “their own breed.” She did not take a position on where

Marvel Comics’ new Captain America will be African American
Is new Captain America an answer to the call to include more minority characters in comics, or just a well timed publicity stunt to sell books? By William S. Gooden Special for the Milwaukee Times On Wednesday, July 16, 2014, Marvel Comics chief creative officer Joe Quesada appeared on The Colbert Report for a major announcement regarding one of the company’s flagship characters, Captain America. Original Captain America, Steve Rogers will be hanging up his cowl after having his super serum sucked out of his body, thereby losing his super-soldier abilities and instantly aging some six decades. In the wake of this, Rogers’ longtime friend and crime-fighting partner, Sam Wilson a.k.a. The Falcon, will take up the mantle of Captain America in a new Marvel Comics title out this fall, All-New Captain America, written by Rick Remender with art by Stuart Immonen. This is the second major announcement of a change to Marvel’s roster of A-list superheroes last week, after
the company’s reveal that the new Thor will be a woman on The View early Tuesday, July 15. In fact, as reported by Entertainment Weekly, the new Cap is part of larger, ongoing changes among the Avengers series of books called “Avengers NOW!”, which will be part of Marvel’s ramp-up for the release of next year’s Avengers 2 film. Quesada stressed that this will only affect the comics — for now, Chris Evans will continue to play Captain America in the Marvel Studios films. While there were hints that a new Captain America would be African American leading up to Wednesday’s announcement, also like with the new Thor, the change is still likely to cause controversy among comics fans. In the more than 70-year history of Captain America, characters other than Steve Rogers have carried Cap’s shield, but this is the first time a black char-
acter has officially taken on the role of Captain America. (Isaiah Bradley, a black character who was subjected to super soldier testing during WWII, never replaced Steve Rogers as the only official Captain America, but some still consider him the first black Cap.) While Quesada insists that Falcon’s replacement of Cap., "Has been the plan for the character’s current story-line for a while now," other critics have wondered if this is not Marvel Comic’s reaction to the charge that comics have been lacking in diversity for a long time.
While there have been African American lead characters in comics since the 60’s (until recently) few have had their own ongoing series and many of those were usually shared with white characters. This has lead to many critics in the industry to wonder if the lack of diversity representation among its characters has hurt companies sales and overall growth and an issue mainstream comics have been slow to address. In 2011 when Marvel's rival DC Comics re-launched their entire line of comics, there was ample inclusion of African American, female, Asian, Latino and LGBTQ characters as well as a number of solo titles headed by minority characters. It has only been recently that Marvel has tried to meet the demand. In 2013, Marvel upgraded its Ms. Marvel character to Captain Marvel in an attempt to give the company a top solo female character, something it has never had. While rival DC
Comics has been publishing its top female character, Wonder Woman, for over 70 years. Marvel has also recently added a teenage, female Arab American character as the new Ms. Marvel, and has introduced several new LGBTQ characters into its pantheon. Additionally it has announced that the XMen character Storm, one of comics most recognizable African American female characters will be getting her own ongoing, solo series after her original appearance 39 years ago in Giant Size XMen #1. So the question remains is the new Captain America a sign of the industry listening to its readers and critics to branch out and appeal to a diverse readership, or is this just a publicity stunt to promote a new book and drum up interest in a forth coming major motion picture. Only time will tell.

Eric Garner could have been me By Damon Hart, Sophomore, Columbia University The recent death of Eric Garner, while in police custody, horrified and angered me. A video shows that police placed Garner in a choke hold, a tactic prohibited by New York City Police Department (NYPD) policy. And a second video shows that police failed to offer any medical assistance as an unresponsive Garner laid handcuffed on the ground. This scene and the range of emotions that I felt in response were all too familiar. Garner's death reminded me of the killing of Radio Raheem by the police in Spike Lee's film, Do the Right Thing. I recognize that this was a fictitious account of events in Brooklyn in the summer of 1989. Important similarities between Radio Raheem's and Garner's deaths, however, are haunting. In short, black men were choked to death by a police officer while being held down by other officers. Even if one dismisses any connection between Lee's fictitious account and Garner's death, there remain multiple real instances where police (or security personnel) were responsible for the death of black men. Who can forget Amadou Diallo, who in 1999 was shot with 41 police bullets; or Sean Bell, who in 2006 was shot to death by police on the morning of his wedding day? Who could forget Oscar Grant, the young man shot to death in an Oakland subway station while he laid handcuffed on the ground; or Trayvon Martin, or Ramarley Graham? The message that these killings send me -- a 19-year old black male college student -is that there is a blatant disregard for black male life. This realization sickens me. As we move forward to think about how to get justice for Mr. Garner, our previous experience with the justice system's handling of the cases mentioned previously leaves me less than optimistic. A quick read of comments made on social media and articles written about the Garner killing indicates that we can expect to see a familiar playbook; the focus and blame will be placed on Garner's previous arrests and his physical size. In other words, he deserved to be killed because he had been arrested on multiple oc-
Damon Hart casions and because he was large black man in "fighting stance" who frightened white police officers. But, the video clearly shows that Garner was lamenting the fact that the police frequently harassed him. "Every time you see me," he said, "you want to harass me." This is a common experience black men share when dealing with the police. It is understandable that Garner would feel exasperated with those who are supposed to be protecting and serving him. It is not unreasonable to exclaim, "don't touch me" when one is being detained with little warrant and one is justifiably afraid of the police. Even if Garner resisted arrest, a competent officer would have used a different method to handle the situation. Considering that there was not just one officer, but four officers, it is not difficult to envision a safer arrest. Others might point out the possibility that Garner possessed untaxed cigarettes and allegedly had a record of selling these cigarettes. Is it necessary for him to pay for such an offense with his life? Such arguments remind me of when Trayvon Martin and Sean Bell were accused of being intoxicated the night of their murders. Efforts to place the spotlight on Garner's character are simply tactics to avoid dealing with police misconduct. An examination of Officer Pantaleo's record, however, reveals troubling behaviors, especially whenever he has had interactions with black men. He has been sanctioned for false arrests and violating police procedures. Despite the fact that we can expect to see an assassination of Garner's character, we have to remember that he was accused of a nonviolent offense that should been met with a nonviolent solution.
Rebuilding our Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Community BySpecial for the Milwaukee Times Running with the pack One of the most exciting races at all major track and field events is the men and women 4 x 100 meter relay race. This is by far my personal favorite event and demonstrates more than just a race. In my humble opinion it requires each member of the relay team to perform at their personal best, while at the same time be in sync with the other members of the team when the time comes in passing the “baton.” This race has it all, individual ability, teamwork, speed, knowledge and skill. You talk about teamwork, coordination, timing, talent, logistics, decision making, being focus, and depending on others to come through in doing their personal best. And of course, let us not forget having an appreciation and a healthy respect for the competition. Just because you showed up, dressed to look the part, does not mean “winning” the race is a given. For some of the most talented teams in history never won on the biggest stages. The winning teams of these kinds of races are usually the ones who continue to practice doing the small things well, refining their technique, and a winning attitude. The critical moments of these relays include having a great start out of the block, clean handoffs at each 25 meters, maintaining speed during the three turns, speed in the straight away and a strong kick by the last sprintWe do not kill people for running traffic lights, endangering pedestrians and fellow drivers. I also want to highlight the long-term and damaging effects Garner's murder has on the black family. As stated earlier, Garner was a father of six. Imagining the pain of his loved ones is unbearable and I struggle to picture myself in that situation. The murder of Eric Garner reinforces the fact that families of color must engage in practices white families have no need for. The reason why my parents implored me and my younger brother to watch Do the Right Thing, why they had us learn about Black history outside of school, and why they and countless other black and brown parents have to explain the dubious nature of the police to their children is because they are afraid. They fear that we will be the next Eric Garner. (Continued on pg. 18)
er (the anchor)… WOW!!! What a performance… and what a thrilling moment… to witness that during the last turn the passing of the baton to the anchors across all lanes… and for a moment you see the pack, side by side and all the while knowing that the pack is only together for a moment and soon one, two or three anchors will emerge from the pack and take the lead down the home stretch towards the finish line. And only one team is declared the winner. Just like what it takes to win in the 4 x 100 relays, our urban American community team needs the same amount of attention and support. If urban America is going to make a comeback, its residents, pastors, faith leaders, churches, grass root leaders, block clubs and associations must be seen as team members in solving problems. They should not be invited to participate when
decisions and game plans have already been made, but are only asked for input, ideas and involvement on what others have perceived already. No urban American community team can win any race when the most important part of the team is being left out of the picture, always being stuck in the “pack” for a photo op or media session. A winning team is one that relies on each of its members to use their abilities to make the team a “winner” during every race. All the urban America community team needs is someone to pass the “baton” and we can take it home. WOW! Wouldn’t that be great? What do you think?

The Counseling Corner

Breaking the chains: The danger of self-deception (Week 4)
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead…” - James 2:17 In the conclusion of the series concerning breaking the chains, we want to focus on the three concrete principles the Apostle James suggested can be implemented in one’s life to break the chain of a self-serving spirit. 1. Compassion. For the believer a new life in Christ Jesus is evidenced by their service to others. That service is shown in one’s compassion for God’s creation. When I say compassion for God’s creation, I’m not talking about global warming; I’m talking about that part of God’s creation James points out in his illustration in James 2:15-16….those who are created in the image and the likeness of God! God’s crowning creation—people. Not just Christian brothers and sisters but all people. James is saying that taking care of the needs of people
in the church is evidence of true faith. But that’s only part of it. True Christians are to show compassion to all people. James says if your faith does not show such compassion, it just might be dead. Faith without work is dead! To break the chain of selfishness we must get out of self and into another. This is what compassion is - compassion is to be empathetic and not merely sympathetic, to put ourselves in the position of another. Sympathy is feeling sorry for another, but empathy is putting yourself in the place of another. In verses 15-16, James accused the people of bias against the poor, the widow, and the orphan which is, at its core, a social justice issue. If we are going to break the chain of selfishness we must learn compassion. 2. Hope. (See James 2:2024). James indicated believers are to show hope in God’s promises in that God will do what God says He will do. What is James saying here? One has to only read Hebrews 11, which gives an
insight into how Abraham rendered faithful service to God. Abraham believed that through Isaac God was going to raise up a nation because God has promised that through Isaac shall thy seed be called. Abraham’s very offering up of Isaac was proof of his strong belief in the word of God. Abraham believed that God would, if necessary, raise Isaac from the dead to keep His promise. And so Abraham’s faith was in keeping or his works were in keeping with his faith. Abraham believed God. His service was based in his hope of the promises God had made. Hope takes our eyes off of self and focuses them on the Lord and what God is doing in our life and in the world. 3. Service. (See James 2:25-26). Finally, James goes
back to another Old Testament example which is not surprising considering James’ congregation was made up of Jewish Christians. But James used the example of Rehab. Back in Joshua, Joshua knew as soon as Israel crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land, they were going to have to conquer Jericho. So Joshua sent spies to check the place out. They came across Rehab who hid them on the roof of her house. In Joshua 2:11 she gives her profession of faith. She said, “When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.” Rehab’s works showed her faith by her service to God’s people. Her immediate service to the Israelite spies—was risky business. Serving others is risky business because it calls us out of our comfort zones, of class, race, and gender for eternal service to the lineage of Christ. What risk are you willing to take to draw nearer to God? Do you risk any-
thing or sacrifice anything to serve God’s people? Beloved, I want to challenge us to step out of our comfort zones and serve another. This week be intentional about a RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS. Walk up to a stranger and let your life be a blessing to a stranger unlike yourself. Make it a goal this week to serve someone you don’t know; go to a women’s shelter and volunteer some of your time. Go to a men’s shelter and volunteer your time. Share your God-given gifts and talents with someone.

Canaan Baptist Church youth ministry travels south on relief mission (part 2) By Don Edward Pannell Special to the Milwaukee Times Cousin Whitney was not interested in going originally, but summed her trip as “inspiring. I was reluctant and scared because they told us we would not be in a hotel but would have to sleep in a big room full of girls and use a portable shower! However, the closer we got to the date, I got more excited. Despite all that, I discovered that while the kids there may have the same material things, such as high tech phones and gadgets, they do not have a family, as I do.” While Whitney was reluctant and not overly excited about the trip, Dante Rhodes, on the other hand, was extremely optimistic and excited about taking the journey. “I enjoyed experiencing the different way of worshipping, the different type of songs and the different way of speaking and praying. The high point of my involvement was when we completed building the deck.” Seventeen year old Dante was so impressed with
the building aspect of his trip, he has decided to pursue a career in carpentry. “Having been in the church all my life, I took this invitation as an excellent opportunity to gain new experiences and view how other people worship. My summation of the trip-- excellent!” While the young people were gaining their experiences, chaperone Billy Conner gained admiration for their commitment on the mission. “The trip was very fulfilling for me. Ms. Thomas is very persistent and kept asking me to go. However, I couldn’t take off during the time scheduled for the mission because of another planned trip. I couldn’t afford to take off both weeks from Event Photo my job.

Ronald E. McNair post-baccalaureate achievement program helps undergraduates obtain their education goals Getting into the graduate program of your choice is a major accomplishment that takes time, effort and commitment. Fortunately, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) is here to help, through the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement program. Inspired by the late Ronald E. McNair, physicist and NASA astronaut, the McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program awards grants to universities that prepare talented undergraduate students for graduate school and eventually PhD programs nationwide. UWM is one of more than 150 universities in the United States that offers this program to its undergraduate students. Many McNair scholars are the first in their families to have attended college, and most qualify as “low income” or Pell Grant eligible under guidelines from the federal government. Matched with faculty mentors, summer research
Camille Ridgeway the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) , is required of most graduate school applicants. The exam you’ll need to take, and the qualifying scores required to get into your preferred graduate program(s), vary depending on whether you’re applying for medical, law or business school, or an advanced degree in another field. This is where UWM and the McNair program can help, according to UWM graduate Camille Ridgeway.
“The McNair program was amazing,” says Ridgeway, who earned degrees in international studies and economics this spring. “It was one of the components of my undergraduate education that I valued most.” A first-generation college student, Ridgeway set her sights on a foreign policy career early in her undergraduate education. As a McNair Scholar, she was paired with a mentor, UWM professor
Dr. Ronald E. McNair of economics Swarnjit Arora. Through that experience and an in-depth study of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the Middle East, Ridgeway chose economics as a second major. “I learned to think of FDI as a gateway indicator that tells you everything you need to know about the health of a country’s economic and political situation,” says Ridgeway. The benefits of being a (Continued from pg. 11)
Canaan Baptist Church youth ministry opportunities and application support, McNair scholars do more than complete the graduate school application process. They also build a research resume and sharpen the academic skills that competitive PhD programs look for when they recruit new doctoral students. In applying to graduate school, you will need to craft a compelling statement of purpose – a personal essay describing the motivations and qualifications that make you an excellent candidate for advanced study in your chosen field. You will also need to line up recommendation letters, and complete a lot of additional paperwork. And all this comes after you’ve already done the hard work of researching what universities offer the program(s) you are looking for and identifying your top choices. In addition to this application process, a major preliminary examination,
Dalisha Smith was thrilled with meeting diverse new friends. While she wasn’t particularly excited about the aspect of moving bricks, gardening and painting, she still feels it was work that was much needed and worthwhile. “I basically grew up in the church and I was excited about doing something different. I have been to the South several times so that
McNair Scholar continued throughout Ridgeway’s undergraduate career. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, the McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program provides financial and academic support to students applying for doctoral study. Ridgeway says the program’s ability to cover her graduate application costs, plus costs related to preparation and registration for the required GRE, helped get her through an expensive and time-consuming process. Assistance in crafting her personal essay/statement of purpose was invaluable. These advantages – research connections with top faculty, graduate school preparation and application funding, graduate school visits and more – are available to UWM McNair Scholars. For more information, call 414-229-6538, or visit mcnair.uwm.edu. The McNair program is located in Mitchell Hall Room 255 on the UWM campus. part was not new for me. I would have to say that my experience was wonderful!” Although Alexys Richards did not grow up in Canaan, her grandfather wanted her to become more involved after joining the church two years ago. She enjoyed being on the trip to help people that were struggling. “The accents and worshipping were a little different but I would have to say it was an outstanding experience.”

Third hand smoke: The new cancer risk for children
Raising children in a smoke-free home isn’t enough to keep them away from cancer-causing toxins. “Third hand” tobacco smoke may be in your home, hiding in plain sight, according a recent study. Researchers behind a York University study published in the journal Environmental International found that carcinogens from tobacco smoke can enter the home from outside (clothing, shoes, etc) and settle on surfaces and in dust, what’s now being called third hand smoke, and the long-term effects are especially dangerous for children between the ages of one and six. “‘The risks of tobacco exposure do not end when
a cigarette is extinguished,” said lead investigator, Dr. Jacqueline Hamilton. Residual pollutants remain on surfaces and in dust and continue to emit toxic gases over time. Researcher Professor
Alastair Lewis adds, “Carcinogenic materials can be passed from smokers to non-smokers during shared contact, for example between clothes and surfaces and also enter homes via airborne transport of cigarette
smoke.” As smoking restrictions in public spaces have become more common, the home has become the primary space for passive smoke inhalation, also known as second hand smoke. A reported 600,000 deaths occur each year worldwide from second hand smoke. The study is the first to reveal the presence of tobacco-related carcinogens in dust found in homes of nonsmokers. Dust samples were collected from the homes of smokers and non-smokers and studied for potential cancer risk by applying official toxicology information. Scientists found that the cancers risks for children aged one to
six exceeded the limit recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in two thirds of the non-smokers’ homes. How to protect your home from third hand smoke • Make your home TRULY smoke free. Don’t even limit your smoking to one special room, as it won’t be contained there. • Do not smoke in the car. Third hand smoke can settle into the car seats. • Remove carpeting from the home. • Re-paint your walls if you or the previous homeowner was a smoker. • Toss that old couch if you previously smoked.
Diabetes and African Americans In 1998, 2.3 million African American adults over 20 had diabetes. In other words, 10.8 percent of the African American population had diabetes. African American adults are about 1.7 times as likely to get diabetes as white adults, whose rate of diabetes was 7.8 percent of the population in 1998. As the following graph shows, middle-aged and older adults are most commonly affected by diabetes. Within the middle-aged group, African Americans are more than three times as likely to have diabetes as white adults. In addition, African American women are more likely than African American men to have diabetes. About onethird of total diabetes cases
Source: Vital and Health Statistics, Series 10, Number 200, p. 85 are undiagnosed among African Americans. This proportion is similar for other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Why does diabetes affect more African Americans than whites? There are no definite answers as to why so many more African Americans have diabetes than whites.
However, being overweight is a known cause of type 2 diabetes. Most African Americans with diabetes have type 2, which develops in adulthood and requires treatment with some combination of exercise, proper diet, medication and injected insulin. African Americans, and especially African American women, are more likely to be overweight than white Americans. African Americans are also more likely to carry their fat above the waist, which increases their risk of diabetes. It appears that those who have type 2 diabetes might carry a diabetes gene that is passed down within families. Some researchers believe that African Americans inherited a "thrifty gene"
from their African ancestors. Such a gene might have initially enabled Africans to use energy more efficiently when food was scarce. The theory is that today, without "feast and famine" cycles, the thrifty gene may make African Americans more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Fewer African American children develop type 1 diabetes (also known as juvenile onset diabetes) than white children. In this case, genetics appears to be working favorably on the side of African Americans. Be sure to look into testing for diabetes if you or a friend or relative are: • Overweight, regardless of age, • Do little in the way of
physical activity, and • Have diabetes in your family. Some ways to help prevent type 2 diabetes, and the associated complications, include: • Exercising • Giving up cigarette smoking • Reducing high cholesterol • Reducing high blood pressure • Keeping a healthy weight

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs
Divorcing? Protect your finances, personal data No doubt you've seen many warnings against sharing personal or financial information with strangers, but what about your spouse – or ex-spouse? A recent study by McAfee uncovered some unsettling results: Although 96 percent of adults surveyed trust their significant other with passwords, intimate photos and other personal content, only 32 percent have asked their ex to delete the information when ending the relationship. One in five people said they're likely to log into their spouse's Facebook account at least once a month. Some 30 percent admitted they'd "cyber-stalked" their significant other's ex on social media. Given the high rate of divorce and how frequently marriages end acrimoniously, it's not a big leap to think that a scorned lover could severely damage your credit
and reputation. If you're getting divorced, here are some important legal, financial and privacy considerations: If you and your spouse are in complete agreement on how you wish to divide assets and settle debts, you may be able get by with a do-it-yourself divorce kit. It's still wise to have a divorce attorney review the forms to make sure you haven't overlooked anything. If your separation is more complicated but relatively amicable, you may also want to try collaborative divorce, mediation or arbitration: • Collaborative divorce. Both parties retain a lawyer and the four of you hash out an agreement outside the courtroom. You each control the final agreement instead of having to abide by a judge's decision. • Mediation. You each have lawyers but hire a thirdparty mediator to work
through differences on critical issues. Mediators don't have the legal authority to impose final decisions. • Arbitration. Like mediation, except that the arbiter hands down a binding agreement by which you each must abide. If you can't settle out of court, be prepared to possibly pay many thousands of dollars in attorney and court fees. Ask around for referrals to lawyers who specialize in divorce. You may also want to consult a financial planning professional for advice on how
to fairly divide property, calculate child support and ensure you're sufficiently insured, as well as explain Social Security and retirement plan implications. To protect your credit status, close joint bank and credit card accounts and open new ones in your own name; otherwise, an economically struggling or vindictive ex-spouse could amass debt in your name and ruin your credit. If your ex retains the house or car, make sure your name is taken off the loan so you're not responsible if they flake on payments. Be sure all closed accounts are paid off, even if you must transfer balances to your new account and pay them off yourself. That's because late or unmade payments by either party on a joint account – open or closed – will damage both of your credit scores. Check your credit reports
before, during and after the divorce to make sure you're aware of all outstanding debts and to ensure that all joint accounts were properly closed. The three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, don't always list the same accounts, so to be safe, order credit reports from each. Change all passwords, PINs, and other information your ex could use to access your electronic devices and financial, email and social media accounts. Also, don't email or post malicious or revealing information that could be damaging if presented in court. Bottom line: Divorce can be a painful experience to live through. Don't make it worse by not protecting your own financial interests.

What’s Happening?
Second Annual Men’s Health Night a big success!!
Pictured at the event (from left) Director-Communications/PR Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Angela Adams; VP Diversity & Inclusion Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Theresa Jones; Radio personality Tom Joyner; VP-Marketing Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Ann Saqr; VP-Clinical Analytics & Public Reporting-Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Melanie Cannon; VP-Medical Group Operations-Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Eric Ford; and event host and moderator Eric Von (inset).
Brain Brawn & Body, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - St. Joseph Campus and WJMR Jammin 98.3 held their Second Annual Men’s Health Night Saturday, July 19, 2014 at Marquette University Alumni Memorial Union. Approximately 400 people were in attendance including an all star line-up of national and local celebrities. They all came together to inform and inspire the Milwaukee community about the importance of men’s health, specifically addressing preventable health problems and early detection among African American men. Wheaton provided free health screenings to attendees. “If men know better, they’ll do better,” said Eric Von, founder of Brain Brawn & Body, a website dedicated to the health and wellness of African American men. Von served as MC for the evening. He added, “Black men need to know that we experience disproportionately higher death rates in all the leading causes of death and we need to take action.” Eric Ford, VP of Operations for Wheaton Franciscan Medical Group opened the event with a gracious welcome to the crowd. Ford stat-
ed, “It’s important that men have a primary care doctor who they see at least one time per year.” He added that nationally, 70 percent of men ages 18-44 just don’t go to the doctor and 10 percent of African American men do not have a primary care physician. “Having a primary care physician can help address health conditions such as prostate cancer, obesity, colon cancer or heart disease that can be easily prevented and treated with early diagnosis,” said Ford. Tom Joyner, nationally syndicated radio personality, known as “The Hardest Working Man in Radio,” heard on Jammin 98.3, Monday through Friday during morning drive time, along with local comedian Marlin Hill brought fun and laughter to the event while reminding the men that health is nothing to joke about. Former professional football player, George Koonce Jr., PhD. delivered the keynote address. A panel of Wheaton Franciscan Medical Group physicians and clinical experts discussed African American men’s health trends and behavioral health issues. They also provided prevention and wellness advice. The evening ended with a question and answer session - men talking to men - about the importance of addressing health issues.
